psychiatrist for the criminally insane. The
courses were interesting but it took me almost four years to realize I really
wanted to go to culinary school. Go figure.” She rolled her eyes. “I would say
it was a complete waste of time, but that’s how I met Brandon.” There was no
mistaking the dreamy satisfaction that surfaced in her expression and from
everything Emma had seen, it didn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that
their marriage was a happy one.
    “Well, at least you ended up doing something you wanted to
do. That’s all that matters,” Emma said.
    “You did too, though. Or at least you’re on your way,” Chloe
interjected then leaned forward on her elbows toward Kim. “Emma’s going to be a
world famous writer.”
    Emma scoffed, thinking about the latest critique she’d
gotten on her novel. “Yeah, I don’t know about that.”
    Chloe shot her an affronted glare. “I do.” She turned back
to Kim. “She writes these really hot books—”
    The thread of the conversation was lost on Emma when Ben
made his way back to the fire to sit near her. He didn’t speak to anyone and
her curiosity was inflamed once more. She didn’t know why, but his stillness
and appearance of solitude in a crowd full of people were enthralling. What had
made him this way? Obviously, it wasn’t a family trait, as his brothers
appeared happy and well adjusted. There was a story there. She could feel it.
    The shadowed light of the fire danced over his features. That
strong jaw with just a touch of dark stubble. Those almost obscenely full lips Those
dark eyes that appeared black and fathomless. In that moment he looked like
Lucifer himself sitting across from her, tempting and evil, staring solemnly
into the flames of the fire-pit. And it was then that she became cognizant of
the fact that she had never been more attracted to a person in her entire life.
The realization was alarming.
    When Ben’s head snapped in her direction as though he’d been
startled, she once again began to take notice of the other people around her
and caught the tail end of what Chloe had been saying.
    “…severe lack of quality orgasms are cutting off her
creative flow.”
    Wait, what was that now?
    It was with dawning horror she realized, too late, that
Chloe had been telling the whole world Emma’s real reasons for coming to visit.
Okay, so maybe not the whole world but anyone other than Chloe knowing was one
person too many. Let alone Ben knowing. Because oh yeah, in addition to
Mina and Kim, he’d heard her.
    This was Chloe’s grand strategy? To just lay it all out
there for public consumption? Wow, she’d forgotten how tactless Chloe could
actually be. Now all she wanted to do was let the ground open up and swallow
her whole.
    Especially when Ben looked at her pensively and said, “What,
your city boys can’t satisfy you?”
    Good Lord, please just take me now and get it over with .
What the hell was she supposed to even say to that?
    In the end it didn’t matter because before she could utter a
word, Chloe cut her off at the pass. “ I personally think it’s just men
in general. Well, except my man of course,” she smiled sweetly at Brian who
seemed oblivious. Looking back at Ben she cocked an eyebrow. “You think you can
do any better?”
    Sinfully dark eyes met Emma’s before his gaze slowly roamed
over the length of her body. Down then back up causing tingling goose bumps to
form on her skin. Then, what she was coming to believe was a rare smile tilted
the corners of his lips. “Hell yeah, I can,” he all but growled. The deep sound
sent a flood of moisture between her legs and she swallowed hard.
    Just as the implications of his words were starting to sink
in, Chloe once again interjected on her behalf without consulting her. “Prove
it, then. And since she needs inspiration that lasts, you have to make it
diverse. Switch it up in a bunch of different ways so that her…stories,” an
evil grin split her lips,
