A Perfect Fit
away. The elevator door opened at about the same time.
     
              He took Marissa by the arm. “Let’s go.”
     
              Go where? She had a feeling it wasn’t to the restaurant where she had plans of meeting up with Val. “I’ll thank you to stop man-handling me.” Marissa realized her mistake the moment the words left her mouth.
     
              Beau’s harsh laughter filled the small elevator.
     

 
     
    Chapter 4
     
     
              Once they reached the street, Marissa stopped to look around. “So, where’s your truck?” Since she didn’t have a car, she might as well let him take her to the club. Her gaze skimmed over the array of vehicles lining both sides of the street. She didn’t have to ask which one was his. The medium-size, platinum-colored Hummer with the darkly tinted windows suited him. Before she knew it, he had taken her by the elbow, guided her across the street, ushered her inside, and closed the door.
     
              Watching Beau’s movements as he walked in front of the hummer was visually stimulating. For a big man he moved fluidly. Marissa had to glance away when he got into the driver’s side because she knew she couldn’t meet his gaze and not give her feelings away. He started the ignition and pulled out into traffic without even asking her where they were going. And since he was driving in the right direction anyway, Marissa stubbornly waited ten minutes before finally breaking down and asking the infuriating man where he was taking her.
     
              “You haven’t asked me where I’m going.”
     
              He burst out laughing, most likely because he’d been waiting for her to say something. “Kirk told me you were stubborn. And I would think the answer is obvious. You’re going wherever I’m going.”
     
              “He had no right telling you anything about me.” Marissa crossed her arms.
     
              Beau shot her a look. “When I accept new clients I like to know everything I can about them. So far he hasn’t told me anything I didn’t figure out for myself.” He had the audacity to wink at her. “Within five minutes of meeting you.”
     
              That sounded like an insult. She snorted. “You have me at a disadvantage.”
     
              “Ask me anything you like.”
     
              Marissa wished she could tell him there wasn’t anything about him she cared to know, but that would be a lie, and she was just too damn curious. In spite of the situation, the man intrigued her. There weren’t many out there who could handle her. She decided to get right to the point.
     
              “Are you married?”
     
              He cast her a dark scowl. “Do you think if I was I would have fucked you back there?
     
              Does he have to be so blunt? She shrugged. “I’ve known a few men who didn’t let a little thing like wedding rings stop them.” She instantly thought about Corey, and how much she hated him. He’d stolen her heart and then told her he had a wife and family and crushed all her dreams for their future in one heartbeat.
     
              “And did it stop you?”
     
              Marissa looked at the passing scenery. Even though it was dark, lights illuminated the streets and buildings along the way. “If I had known at the time, it would have.” She didn’t know why she admitted that to him, when she hadn’t to anyone else. It was a time in her life when she’d been young and naïve, and to a man like Cory, easy pickings. If her comment surprised Beau, he chose to ignore it.
     
              “You said you have brothers?”
     
              “Chaz and Blade.” He met her gaze with a twinkle of humor in his eyes. “We’re identical triplets.”
     
              “Oh my God! There’s two more exactly like you?” The words spilled from her mouth
