Page 19 of Courting the Consequences

“You could have called me,” Kevin murmured, stepping closer.

“Could have called AAA, too,” Johnny snapped, sick of their lovey-dovey bullshit.

Kara’s eyes snapped to his, and Kevin’s shoulders tightened.

Ever since Rockstar had spent the night at her place earlier in the week, Johnny had agreed to keep things civil with her, to not go out of his way to rile her up. Seeing her and Kevin together, though wasdifferent.

Johnny didn’t know why it bothered him so much. But seeing the usual Ice Queen so happy and dirty had his cock kicking in his pants as he imagined just howdirtyshe was willing to get.

“Why wait for something I can do myself?” she shot at Johnny.

He smirked immediately, flashing teeth. He watched her eyebrow twitch, like she knew she’d just fucked up. “Really? My brother Rockstar here not doing it enough for you? Still gotta do it yourself after?”

Kevin’s head fell back on his shoulders in disbelief.

Devil let out a riotous laugh.

Johnny smirked at Kara. Her face reddened. The glare aimed at him was glacial.God, I love riling her up.

“No, Kevin doesn’t have that problem. He could give you some pointers, though, if you need assistance getting a woman off,” she shot back immediately.

“Mayhem.” Rockstar shot at him before he could respond. Johnny snapped his gaze to his brother. Kevin shook his head.

Devil laughed maniacally behind them.

Johnny stalked toward her, his thoughts on their first meeting. How fiery she became. “Tell me Princess,” he drawled, “do you think of me often, up there in your office, where I bent you over your desk that first time we met?” he insinuated.

She didn’t take the bait; instead she stepped back into Kevin’s chest. “I don’t have to. My office has been thoroughly christened since then.” She smirked.

Johnny ground his molars to keep from snapping at her. Kevin’s arm looped around and his hand landed on her hip. Johnny marveled at the size of Kevin’s hand on her belly. He always had a bit of a size kink. There was something primitive in his brain that enjoyed picking up a woman and tossing her around a bit, folding her in half.

Seeing Kara next to Rockstar only hammered that home. He bet she was a firecracker in the sack too.

Devil stepped in before Kara could say anything else. “Great work, Boss Lady,” he smirked and knelt down next to her SUV. “Where’d you learn to change a tire?”

Kara shot Johnny another glare before she pulled away from Kevin and turned to Derrick. “My brother taught me.”

“Damn good thing to know.” Derrick nodded and started spinning lug nuts back onto the bolts.

“I was almost done.” She shrugged, watching Devil.

“We’ll just finish this off for you and you can be on your way.” Devil smirked up at her. He reached for the tire iron and started wrenching things down.

Johnny watched Kara blush and ground his molars. “We already know you can handle your shit,” he stepped in closer, “but you really that much a prima donna that you can’t roll up your sleeves and get dirty?”

Kara’s eyes narrowed and she frowned slightly. “It’s silk, completely breathable. And dirty. It’ll have to be dry-cleaned now.”

Johnny barked a sardonic laugh. “Oh no, your poor silk shirt will need to be dry-cleaned.”He mocked, still stalking closer.

Her back was pressed against Rockstar’s front, the top of her head just below his shoulder. She had to crane her neck to look up at Johnny.

Johnny shot a glance over her head at Kevin. Kevin raised an eyebrow and gave the smallest of nods. Had Johnny not known the man for decades, he might have missed it. Johnny gave him a sharklike grin and stood toe to toe with Kara.

“You’re an asshole,” she snapped, rolling her eyes. “You’re just jealous because I told you no.”

He pressed in closer, invading her space. They were practically chest to chest. He could lean forward and press her against Kevin, using his body if he wanted.Sandwich her between us.That sounds like a good idea. Her eyes widened as he leaned down to put his face in front of hers. “Funny,” he smirked, “that’s not how I remember it, Princess.”

“I’m all finished here,” Devil said, breaking up the tension.
