chest. Perfect.
If only.
    A knock at the door had Jayden shouting, "Booze!"
    ****
    Six hours later, Boone walked out of the Beefsteak Grill
with his arm around Gigi's shoulders and a belly full of the best beef and
whiskey he'd ever tasted. "I've never had a Christmas Eve dinner quite
like that."
    She groaned. "I ate about ten ounces too much
beef."
    He stopped and tipped his head, kissing her quickly on her
pretty lips. "That's what you get for betting Jay you could eat a sixteen
ounce steak."
    She held up the ten-dollar bill. "I won, didn't
I?"
    "Baby, you have no idea how impressed I am."
    Kira, Dallas, and Jayden stopped next to them. They looked
sluggish and bleary-eyed after four hours of drinking in the suite followed by
a two hour orgy of food and liquor in the restaurant.
    Jayden pointed to his right. "We've got a country bar
with dancing this way." He pointed left. "And a rock band playing
this way." He looked at all their faces. "Aw, don't tell me you old
folks are going home to bed."
    Kira shook her head. "Hell, no! Let's get country!"
    Dallas got them walking toward the Hotfoot Lounge.
"It's not even midnight yet. We've got to celebrate Gigi's official
birthday."
    She smiled at Dallas. "You're so thoughtful."
    A burst of jealousy surprised Boone. She'd been kind and
playful with both his brother and Dallas all evening, and he loved how she fit
into his gang. Boone stopped walking and cursed himself. He was getting too
close to her. Hell, she had dreams of being a big New York businesswoman, ready
to start a business or work for some major company. Her future didn't include a
beat-up bull rider.
    "Boone? Are you okay?" Gigi looked up at him with
those big hazel eyes.
    He got moving again. "Yeah. Just looking forward to
getting you back upstairs." He grinned.
    She gave him a sly look. "We can duck out through the
back—"
    "Uh uh. I want at least once dance with you." One
slow, sexy dance where he'd let his lust take over again, let it edge out the
strange craving filling his heart.
    They caught up to the group and found a table near the dance
floor. The band was excellent, playing old standards and new songs.
    Dallas and Jayden argued over which of them did a better
two-step, and Kira volunteered to be the judge. When Dallas took Kira out on
the floor, Jayden scoped out the rest of the bar, checking out the honeys.
    When it was Jayden's turn on the floor with Kira, Dallas
stared at them, a dark scowl on his face. Was his buddy getting too close to
Kira? Just like he'd let Gigi mean a little too much to him at a time in his
life when he couldn't afford to have any distractions.
    The band started a slow song.
    "Belly rubbing music." He stood and held out his
hand.
    Gigi placed her warm little palm in his. "Careful,
cowboy. Last time we started rubbing bellies, we almost ended up in bed."
    He groaned, picturing her on the golden bedspread, her pale
skin glowing, her dark hair fanned out. Her arms reaching for him.
    Pulling her close, he nibbled at her ear. "I wanna
touch you. Every perfect inch of you."
    She shivered and sighed, closing her eyes.
    "When I pull off your clothes, I'm going to taste you,
slowly, and kiss your breasts until you beg for more."
    "More." The word left her mouth on a breath.
    In his jeans, his cock pulsed, taking too much blood from
his head, making him dizzy with the need to have her. "When I kiss your
belly, you'll grab my hair and push my mouth lower, into your sweet, honey
lips."
    A tiny cry escaped her. Her cheeks glowed pink and her head
lolled on her neck.
    He ran his tongue from her earlobe down her neck.
"You're delicious. I won't be able to get enough of you."
    "Boone." She licked her lips and opened her eyes.
Her hazel irises had turned to a dark gray. "You have to stop or I'm going
to be a puddle on the floor."
    He chuckled. "Hold on to me. I'm here for you."
Always. He blinked and pulled back a few inches. Where the hell had that come
from?
    She blinked a couple times, too.
