Or
was Ramsey about to call him out on the carpet for the interest in Megan that he
couldn’t hide? In either of those scenarios, how could he explain his intense
desire for Megan when he didn’t understand it himself? He’d wanted women before,
but never with this intensity.
    When the two of them were left alone, Ramsey turned to him and
Rico braced himself for whatever the man had to say. Rico was older brother to
two sisters of his own so he knew how protective brothers could be. He hadn’t
liked either Chase or Durango in the beginning only because he’d known something
was going on between them and his sisters.
    Ramsey was silent for a moment, doing nothing more than slowly
sipping his wine, so Rico decided to speak up. “Was there something you wanted
to discuss with me, Ramsey?” There were a couple of years’ difference in their
ages, but at the moment Rico felt like it was a hell of a lot more than
that.
    “Yes,” Ramsey replied. “It’s about Megan.”
    Rico met Ramsey’s gaze. “What about her?”
    “Just a warning.”
    Rico tensed. “I think I know what you’re going to say.”
    Ramsey shook his head, chuckling. “No. I don’t think that you
do.”
    Rico was confused at Ramsey’s amusement. Hell, maybe he didn’t
know after all. “Then how about telling me. What’s the warning regarding
Megan?”
    Ramsey took another sip of his drink and said, “She’s
strong-willed. She has self-control of steel and when she sets her mind to do
something, she does it, often without thinking it through. And…if you tell her
no, you might as well have said yes.”
    Rico was silent for a moment and then asked, “Is there a reason
you’re telling me this?”
    Ramsey’s mouth curved into a smile. “Yes, and you’ll find out
that reason soon enough. Now come on, they won’t start dinner without us.”

    Megan tried drowning out all the conversation going on
around her. As usual, whenever the Westmorelands got together, they had a lot to
talk about.
    She was grateful Pam hadn’t figured out the identity of the man
they’d been discussing and seated them beside each other. Instead, Rico was
sitting at the other end of the table, across from Ramsey and next to Riley. If
she had to look at him, it would be quite obvious she was doing so.
    Riley said something and everyone chuckled. That gave her an
excuse to look down the table. Rico was leaning back against the chair and
holding a half-filled glass of wine in his hand, smiling at whatever the joke
was about. Why did he have to look so darn irresistible when he smiled?
    He must have felt her staring because he shifted his gaze to
meet hers. For a moment she forgot to breathe. The intensity of his penetrating
stare almost made her lips tremble. Something gripped her stomach in a tight
squeeze and sent stirrings all through her nerve endings.
    At that moment, one thought resonated through her mind. The
same one Pam had reiterated earlier. It doesn’t matter if
he wants you. The main question is whether or not you want him .
    Megan immediately broke eye contact and breathed in slowly,
taking a sip of her wine. She fought to get her mind back on track and regain
the senses she’d almost lost just now. She could control this. She had to.
Desire and lust were things she didn’t have time for. The only reason she wanted
to go to Texas with Rico was to be there when he discovered the truth about
Raphel.
    Thinking it was time to make her announcement, she picked up
her spoon and tapped it lightly against her glass, but loud enough to get
everyone’s attention. When all eyes swung her way she smiled and said, “I have
an announcement to make. Most of you know I rarely take vacation time, but today
I asked for an entire month off, starting tomorrow.”
    Surprised gazes stared back at her…except one. She saw a look
of suspicion in Rico’s eyes and noted the way his jaw tightened.
    “What’s wrong? You’re missing Bailey already and plan to follow
her
