over the weekend.
    “Khan, what’s going on here?” The newcomer. She had no idea why she knew that, but she turned just a little to look at him and nearly moaned.
    The other men were good looking, handsome as a matter of fact, with dark hair as well as dark eyes, but this man was…more. He had the same dark good looks, but he didn’t seem to overwhelm her. As a matter of fact, she wanted to snuggle up to him and let him hold her. She turned away from him, embarrassed at where her mind had gone. But when he came up behind her and put his hands on her shoulders, she stiffened, suddenly terrified.
    “This is Kerry Stephens. She is going to work with us on the cable project. I’m sure with her experience she can….”
    Khan stopped talking and she opened her eyes, not even realizing that she’d closed them. The warm breath on her bare neck made her dizzy.
    She heard chairs scrape and thought someone growled. She wasn’t sure about the second thing, and decided that she didn’t hear the man holding her do that. Before she could tell him to let her go, Khan nodded once and stepped from in front of her. The door closed and she was turned around.

    Reed looked at her but didn’t let her go. She was beautiful even with the sunburn on her nose and forehead. He wanted to take her hair down and see if it was as soft as it looked, but didn’t want to let go of her just yet. When she took a step back from him he growled again. She looked at him oddly.
    “Is there something wrong with you?” He shook his head. “The reason I’m asking is because you’re holding onto me like I’m holding you up, and you seem to be under the impression that growling at me is okay. It’s not, in case you’re wondering.”
    “I’m Reed Bowen.” She didn’t say anything and he found that he wasn’t sure what to do. “I’m just coming home from DC. I’ve been working and living there for about three years now.”
    “Good for you. Let me go.” He did so reluctantly. “Thank you. Now if you don’t mind, I’d like to leave. It’s been really…I started to say nice, but this is the strangest family I’ve ever seen. And now I must go.”
    “No.” She looked at him again, and this time he could see she wasn’t happy with him. “I mean, I’d rather you didn’t. I want to get to know you.”
    She didn’t say anything but moved toward the door. He followed her, and when she put her hand on the knob he pulled her body to his so that he was spooned behind her. Reed leaned into her throat again and licked along the long column of it. She trembled under his touch and he bit gently at her flesh.
    “Don’t do that again.” Her voice was husky, warm feeling, and he wanted more than anything to turn her around and press her against the door so he could kiss her, but he couldn’t let her go just yet, even to do that.
    “Don’t leave me.” He licked again, taking as much of her taste into his mouth as he could. “I want you to come home with me…no, that won’t work. I don’t have a bed yet. But we could go to a hotel.” Before he could clarify what he’d meant to say, he felt his body fall backwards and then nothing else.

    Reed looked up at Khan and Marc, wondering why they were looking down him and not standing in front of him. He had no idea what was going on, but he was soaking wet and they were laughing hard. He started to sit up when a boot on his chest held him there.
    “Not yet, little brother. Walker went to get his bag. You might have a concussion.” Reed frowned at Sebastian. “She really hit you hard.”
    “Who did?” He looked around the room for Kerry and then at his brothers. “Where is she? What did you do with her?”
    Khan laughed. “Dad took her home. She didn’t look all that thrilled to be here once she knocked you on your ass. What did she use anyway? The chair?”
    “I don’t…what the hell happened here, and why the fuck is Dad taking her home? I told her I was….”
    He tried to
