before she could stop them.
     
              Beau’s deep laughter filled the interior of the hummer. “You make it sound like a crime.”
     
              It should be, Marissa thought. God help the female population with three Texans all built like Beau. Even if he weren’t a handsome man, his size alone would command attention wherever he went.
     
              “What are you thinking?” He kept his gaze on the road.
     
              She decided to shock him. “What it would be like having a Ménage à trios with three men that all look alike.”
     
              He shocked her right back. “Maybe I can arrange something.”
     
              What? He sounded so serious. Damn him! She was kidding. She’d never been into that kind of thing. However, she had friends who’d experimented with it a few times. They made it sound exciting, and hearing about their experiences had turned her on. Only Marissa didn’t like sharing her men when it came to sex, she was selfish that way. She looked at Beau out of the corner of her eye. Apparently, he didn’t mind sharing his women. That knowledge disappointed her. Then she reminded herself that they weren’t even in a relationship, he was just her bodyguard.
     
              He turned and caught her staring at him. A slight smile spread across his sensual lips and she itched to wipe it off with the palm of her hand. The next thing she knew he was pulling over and parking along the curb, in front of The Moonshine Club.
     
              She glanced at him with surprise. “How did you know?”
     
              “Kirk.”
     
              What else did he know? She was going to give Kirk a serious piece of her mind the next time she got his chicken butt back on the phone. “Thanks for the ride.” As far as Marissa was concerned, their brief association was over.
     
              “Wait for me to come around.” He turned off the ignition and opened his door.
     
              She did the same to hers, ignoring his subtle command. No one told her what to do. A step onto the sidewalk was as far as she got. Without warning, Beau grabbed her arm. He spun her around and pushed her up against the hummer, then moved in close. He was practically breathing fire. Their eyes met and clung.
     
              “Look, my job is to protect you. So we can do this the hard way, or my way,” he said between his teeth.
     
              Marissa had a feeling his way and the hard way were the same thing. She drew herself up to her full height, but it was a pitiful attempt of trying to assert her power over him. They both knew she didn’t stand a chance against his strength.
     
              “No, you look, cowboy.” She tried to keep her voice calm and friendly, smiling at a couple walking by that happened to glance their way. “Kirk had no business hiring you. And I can take care of myself.”
     
              His expression didn’t waver, but his eyes crystallized into polished stones of determination. “Would you like me to prove you wrong…again?”
     
              Marissa didn’t like the threat in his tone. The hand around her upper arm tightened but she refused to let him see he was hurting her. She took a deep breath and grated, “What, are you going to fuck me again, right here?”
     
              His mouth tightened into a thin line. It was obvious she’d hit a nerve. “No, but I can put you across my knee and spank the hell out of your bare ass. I think someone should have done that a long time ago.”
     
              In your dreams, buster! She was smart enough to keep her thoughts to herself. Instincts warned her he’d try it, too. She glanced past him. There were people coming and going along the sidewalk. The Moonshine Club was aglow with neon lights. Even the outside patio area was crowded with drinkers and smokers. Marissa didn’t
