cheeks, matching those wetting McKenna’s face.
    “Momma.”
    “I want my Kenna,” the woman whispered. “Kenna loves me, and I love Kenna.”
    “I do.” McKenna reached for her mother then dropped her hand at the last second. “I do love you, Momma. So much.” She wiped her face then turned.
    Her mouth opened when she spotted RJ.
    “I’m sorry.” He didn’t even know why he said those words, why they left his mouth. McKenna’s face tightened, nostrils flaring wildly. She didn’t speak to him. Instead she turned back to her mother and coaxed her with soft words.
    “Come on, Momma.” She pointed to the door. “Let’s go back inside.” She guided her mother past RJ and back into the bedroom where she helped her into the bed and pulled the covers over her small frame before motioning for RJ to step outside.
    In the hallway, she paced, fingers sifting through her shoulder length hair as she stared off into space. RJ just stood by the door and waited.
    “Seen enough?” she asked abruptly. “Did you get what you came for?”
    RJ shrugged. “I’m not really sure.”
    She eyed him like a bug under her expensive heels. “ You're a nosy son of a bitch who has no idea when to quit.”
    “I’ll quit when you say when.” RJ grinned. “It’s up to you.”
    Sparks flew from her eyes as she came up to him, got in his face, and snarled. “Get the fuck out of my life.”
    RJ pushed off the wall and stared her down. “Take a look at me, baby girl. You and your trick don’t scare me. Not now, not ever. I’ll get out of your life when you say when. Tell me what I want to know, and I’ll leave you alone.”
    McKenna sighed after a while. “I don’t know what you want,” she denied on a throaty breath.
    Heat unfurled in RJ’s groin, and he inhaled sharply, taking her floral perfume into his lungs. Fuck me! He was getting a hard-on for Salim’s whore. “Don’t try that shit on me,” he growled. “It won’t work.”
    Her lips curled. “A fan of dick, are you? Should’ve known.”
    RJ laughed. “That’s the response you go to when a man sees through your obvious fake shit? Bet you never thought there’d be someone who just doesn’t want you, huh?”
    She smiled at him, wide and bright, her white teeth dazzling. “Of course there are men who don’t want me. You’re not one of them.”
    He snorted. “Keep dreaming. I don’t do sloppy seconds.” Jesus, why was he having this inane conversation with her?
    “I say you do.” She winked then opened the door and disappeared into her mother’s room before he had a chance to counteract that fucking statement.
    Like he’d have anything to do with her in that way. He wasn’t interested in any of Salim’s women. But for a second there, his body had responded to her. That wasn’t a big deal. She was gorgeous woman, and he’d been using his own hands on himself for longer than he cared to admit. Of course his body would react to her. It meant nothing.
    Nothing.
    Only halfway back to the warehouse did everything click into place. He pounded the steering wheel with a curse. She’d disarmed him completely. Instead of giving him the opening to ask questions about what he’d witnessed, McKenna had put him on the defensive, tricking him into defending his sexuality and the nonexistent attraction to her.
    She was good. Too damn good.

Chapter Four
     
    She couldn’t think. McKenna paced her house, pulling on her hair. Damn the man for not leaving her alone. Now he knew. He knew her weakness and, like Salim, he’d use it to hurt her.
    In an attempt to control her.
    Goddamn it, how had this happened again? How, when she’d worked so hard to make sure it didn’t? Now she’d be under the power of these two men, and McKenna didn’t know who scared her more.
    Salim or that RJ dude.
    She paused in her quest to wear out the carpet and stared down at the card in her hand. They’d have to talk, this she knew. What she didn’t know was who’d be making the
