floor.  
    He fixed her with a look. "Would you have said no?"
    "It actually wouldn't have occurred to me."
    His big hand on her back was warm--or maybe the intimacy made her warm. Odd how his touch did more for her libido than Liam's. Because he was so tall, she had to move close to put her hand on his shoulder, and her breasts brushed his chest when they moved. His nostrils flared at the contact and he drew her closer. Her nipples hardened against his chest. His gaze flicked downward, then back to her eyes.
    "Did he ask you to go home with him?"
    His words rumbled against her body, distracting her momentarily from his erection growing against her belly.
    "He did."
    "He has a bigger bed than I do."
    "I'm not interested." But she was quickly becoming interested in what was between them, literally. Bad idea. Bad. She needed to put some distance between them, but doing so might reveal too much. She placed her palm on his chest to move away and was distracted by the springiness of his chest hair beneath his shirt. What would that feel like to touch? What would it feel like against her nipples? She focused on the opening of his shirt and her breath hitched, just a little.
    His fingers tightened on her spine. "Are you sure?"
    She looked into his eyes, heat rolling through her at what she saw there. "Do you want me to go home with your brother?" she demanded.
    Instead of answering, his jaw clenched, and he looked past her. "Our food is there."
    If she'd expected him to say more, she was disappointed, because he twisted his hand free and walked across the floor to their table, leaving her trailing in his wake.

    Walking was painful with the hard-on pressing against the fly of his jeans, and God knew everyone in the place could probably see it. But hell, could they blame him after having a body like that pressed against him? The little t-shirt was no barrier--he'd felt her nipples just as clearly as if she'd been naked.
    "That was quick," Liam said when Luke approached, standing and giving his brother a knowing grin.
    "Didn't want our food to get cold."
    Liam glanced at Kennedy as she slid past him into the booth. "Looks like that's not the only thing that's cold."
    Luke ground his teeth as his brother looked at Kennedy's tits.  
    She settled into her seat with a sigh. "Seriously, if I show them to you, will you stop staring at them?"
    "Yes," Liam said without missing a beat.  
    "No," Luke said at the same time, though his cock was on Liam's side. Besides, he could imagine them just fine, outlined as they were in the thin top. Did she not wear a bra? "Eat your dinner."
    Why he was in such a hurry, he had no idea. Once he got her back to the RV, Christ. The two of them shut up in that tin can, and he could think of only one way to pass the time. He was losing control. The thing was, right now, he wanted to lose control, wanted to make her lose it, too. He raised his finger and ordered another round.
    "Hey, I heard about a card game going on in the horse barn tonight," Liam said. "Want in? You got money now."
    Luke realized Kennedy had gone stiff beside him. Right. Her father's gambling debts had left her in this situation. She wouldn't be a fan.
    "Pass," he said, wondering just why the hell he wanted to accommodate Kennedy's wishes.

    "Give me the keys," Kennedy ordered, holding out her hand, palm up.  
    Luke looked from the assortment of bottles on the table to her. Maybe he had overindulged just a little, trying to kill that hard-on. Hadn't worked.
    "You've been drinking, too."
    "A beer and a half. Perfectly sober."
    He almost--almost--dared her to dig the keys out of his pocket herself, but reached for them himself. "Gotta take Liam back, too, then."
    "No problem. Get him off the dance floor."
    Liam had made it his mission to dance with every female in here, apparently. Luke tracked his brother across the bar, where he was curved around a voluptuous girl who wore very little despite the temperature outside. Luke sighed
