shocked her. He had felt that? They could sense what the other felt? That
    information she would use later; for now, she had Lucian’s attitude to deal with.
    He was taller than her by quite a bit. Her head barely reached his upper chest, so
    she was forced to tilt her head back as she allowed smug disdain to fill her expression.
    “Do you really think you can control me with sex, Lucian?” she asked him, her
    voice cold, filled with loathing. “Do I really appear to be such a twit that all you have to
    do is fuck me to handle me? You have another think coming.” She punctuated her
    words with a forceful jab of her finger into his hard, muscular chest. “No one handles
    me. No man controls me. Not now. Not ever.”
    He glanced down at her finger. Slowly. A second later his gaze speared into hers
    once again.
    “I’ll control you, Tally,” he told her, the tone of his voice whispering of a sexual
    dominance, an excitement she had only imagined before. “We’ll control you, and I
    promise you, when we do, you’ll beg for it.”
    Her lip curled as a snarl begged to be free. In her life, she could never remember
    being so furious, so intent on slapping a man to his knees as she was now. And she
    would have. She could have. If only she could force the required words past her lips.
    Her repertoire of cutting phrases refused to come to mind now.

    “And you’ll learn just how quickly your own arrogance will kick your ass,” she
    informed him coldly before spinning away and stalking to the door. “Stay the hell out
    of my file cabinet or do the damned filing yourself. Your choice. I won’t warn you
    again.”
    “Tally.”
    She stopped at the door, turning back to him slowly, fighting the compulsion to go
    to him, to give him what he needed, what they both wanted.
    “You’re not fighting me, baby, or Dev. You’re fighting yourself. And I think you’re
    smart enough to see that.”
    “You’re wrong,” she told him softly. “Now, I just left Tweedle Dee in the park with
    my kneecap imprinted on his balls. Keep fucking with me, and I’ll slam yours up your
    throat. I’m going back to work now.” She gave the information, pretending she had
    missed his earlier admission. Revenge was best dealt in surprise, she chuckled to
    herself.
    She swept from the room before he could respond, before she could glimpse any
    knowledge or emotion in his expression. She had a job to do. A job she enjoyed, and she
    needed to remember that. Even if Lucian and Dev refused to. And she had revenge to
    plan. An exacting, satisfying revenge before her fury ended in bloodshed.

    Planning her revenge took a day or two. Tally knew it wouldn’t be easy to separate
    them, nor would it be easy to convince the other to go along with her. Especially as
    furious as they had known she was. But she managed it.
    Two days later, as Lucian was settling down to a meeting with several military
    liaisons, Tally picked up a file she had held back the day before and walked into Dev’s
    office, careful to keep her hand behind her back as she turned the small locking
    mechanism on the door knob that would automatically secure the door.
    “I need you to sign these, Dev,” she told him briskly as she walked over to his desk
    and moved behind it as though she had no qualms at all in being so near him.
    She laid the file on the desk in front of him, opened it and straightened as she
    turned to look at him.
    He didn’t appear interested at all in the papers laid out before him. He was more
    interested in the fact that several buttons had slid free on her royal blue linen shirt.
    “You’ve been in the files again,” he said softly as she glanced down. She knew that
    was what he would believe. Both brothers, it seemed, immensely enjoyed the fact that
    the file cabinets managed to strain her blouses until the top buttons slipped their
    moorings.
    She sighed with false impatience. “Of course. Isn’t that
