you saying something about checking in on your family. And I don’t believe for one second that you didn’t know who I was when you followed me into that hallway. So please stop bullshitting me and let’s have a serious conversation.”
    Rourke ran a hand through his hair as he looked down at Cali. He figured it was only a matter of time before Luke or Michael pulled something to get him back. He just thought they’d have the balls to talk to him themselves, not hide behind someone who had nothing to do with them. He stepped out of the house and onto the porch. The screen door swung shut behind him. Cali had to take a step back to accommodate him.
    “My business in the city is my own. I was meeting someone who works with Walter Farrell and happened to see Luke there. And, just like always, he let me down again. I don’t know why they sent you here or what they promised you, but I can guarantee I’m not talking to your bosses any time soon.”
    Instead of showing any sign of defeat, Cali looked more determined than ever. Her tall heels brought her almost to his height and she looked him right in the eye. “You sound like a melodramatic child.”
    “I’m a melodramatic child who’s about to kick you off my property.”
    She squared her shoulders. “I’m not leaving until we sit down and discuss this like normal adults.”
    “I can carry you off my property.”
    “I’m starting to wonder why Luke and Michael want to talk to you at all.”
    He smiled at her. “I seem to remember you thinking I was damn charming not too long ago.”
    “And I’ve been regretting my actions ever since,” she shot back.
    “I’m giving you ten seconds to leave, before I take matters into my own hands,” he warned. She crossed her arms over her chest and he tried really hard to not see how the motion pushed her breasts up and together.
    “No,” she said.
    “No?”
    “I told you. I’m not leaving until we have an honest conversation about what happened and about your family.”
    “Okay.” With that, he bent down and tossed Cali over his shoulder.
    As expected, she immediately started to scream a whole number of obscenities at him as she pounded at his back. “What the hell is wrong with you? Set me down right now or I swear to God I’ll—”
    Rourke gave her a swift swat on her ass as he held her tighter against his shoulder. “I don’t care what you do as long as you do it off my property.”
    “I’m going to get my lawyer on the phone so fast my lawsuit is going to destroy you and your stupid cottage until you have no choice to go back to your brothers,” she screamed into his back.
    He rolled his eyes as he adjusted his grip, grabbing her thigh to hold her tightly against him. The weight was almost nothing in comparison to the loads he carried all the time, but he wasn’t used to his loads wiggling quite this much. Rourke reached the road and glanced in each direction. There were no other houses for a while and one small white sedan about two hundred yards away. He had no idea why she would park so far away, but he wasn’t putting her down until she was as close as possible to her car.
    “I don’t know what lawyers you’re hiring, but I can promise you that mine are better.” That was a bit of a stretch. The only lawyers he’d ever met with were run-of-the-mill real estate guys, but he had a feeling his savings account could afford a much better one than the curvy blonde in his arms.
    “You just wait!” she threatened. “I know people who could ruin you! I know people who could make you regret the day you were born!”
    “Oh, I don’t doubt it,” he muttered. He gave her ass one more swat for good measure as he reached her car and bent forward, putting her feet back on solid ground. As he straightened, he took in Cali’s flushed face and tousled hair. But all that was overshadowed by the fury that shone through her clear blue eyes.
    Good. He wanted her pissed. He wanted to get the point across that
