Waverly did the countdown, and we spun toward each other at the same time.

“Holy shit,” I breathed, unable to stop gaping at how hot she looked.And those legs.

She nodded, clearly agreeing, her wide eyes unable to stop tracking their way over my body.“I—I’m going to need to have sex with you.Like, right now,” she ordered.

“Darlin’...”I gave a long, low whistle.“You stole the words right out of my mouth.”Body thickening with need, I stepped toward her.

And she sidestepped me right back, the hungry glint in her gaze making her actions look more like she was a predator circling her prey instead of an innocent, frightened shepherdess evading a shifty cowboy.

Tipping my hat at her with one finger, I winked.“Howdy there, ma’am.What’s a delicious morsel like you doing on this side of the pasture?”

She giggled and blushed, loving every second of my flirting.

Then she cleared her throat and dug into her role, batting her lashes right back at me.“Why, I’m just looking for my wayward cowboy.He got loose from his herd and wandered off; I’m here to…lure him back to my bed.”

When she paused dramatically to put herself on display, my eyebrows arched with interest, and my dick went rock hard.

“You haven’t seen him, have you?”she asked, putting a sensual, breathy emphasis in her voice.

Licking my tongue over my bottom lip hungrily, I flickered my gaze over her body and answered, “Well, now… I just might have.What’s the lucky bastard look like?”

Her gaze lifted to mine meaningfully before she said, “He looks just like you,” and she reached out her hook, expertly catching me around the back of the neck.

“Holy fuck,” I groaned, my eyelids going heavy with desire.“You’re really good at this.”

Breaking character, she flashed me a pleased grin.“Thanks.”

And she started to draw me in, pulling me closer with her hook, only for a knock to sound on the door right before it flew open.

“Pack your shit, Duggie,” Parker announced, barging inside without waiting for an invitation—or a fuck off, which is what he would’ve gottenhadhe waited.“You’re coming with me to—holy shit!”

He froze two steps into the room and gaped open-mouthed at Waverly, who screamed in alarm and dropped her hook before diving behind me to hide herself.

“What the hell?”I roared, lifting my hands at Ohrley for an explanation.

Parker took a moment to shake his head, trying to clear it, then he sent me an incredulous glance demanding, “What the hell right back to you?”

I ground my teeth.“It’s called roleplay, asshole.Now get the fuck out.”

He blurted out a laugh, then managed to smother it as he lifted his hands in surrender and slowly started to back toward the exit.“Jesus, lock the fucking door next time, will you?”

“Or how aboutyouwait for an all-clear after fucking knocking?”I countered.

“Right.My bad,” Parker agreed, only to glance between me and Waverly again and burst, full-out belly laughing.“Holy shit, I can’t,” he admitted through the tears of amusement that streamed down his cheeks.“This is just too good.”

“Motherfucker,” I growled, charging toward him tohelphim leave faster.“Get out.”

He tried to, I’ll give him that, but the idiot tripped over his own feet as he zipped in reverse, and he tumbled to the floor right in the doorway, falling on his ass.

Still laughing the entire time, he grabbed his abdomen and rolled onto his side, having a grand old time at my expense.

“What in the world?”Thane’s voice demanded before he appeared in the hallway behind Parker and squinted into the room to see what was causing Ohrley to lose his shit on the floor.

As soon as he spotted Waverly, however, he reared back, yelping, “Oh!Oh my God.”

“What?”Alec’s voice demanded before he piled in next to Thane so he could see what all the fuss was about.

“Whoa!”he cried, only for his gaze to shoot toward me.“Dude, I had no idea you had a Little Bo-Peep fetish.”Attention veering right back to Waverly as he tried to catch another glimpse of her hovering behind me, his eyebrows lifted with interest.“Actually, I think I have one now too.”
