"You and Vaughn would get along really well."

"Why is that?"

"You're both full of random facts and statistics."

He turns and looks at me.He's taking in every part of me just like he always does, only this time, my best friend's warning rings in my ears.Just protect your heart.

"Are you preparing to pick me out of a police lineup?"

He lifts one eyebrow and cocks his head to the side.He does this every time that I catch him off guard.

"No."

"Then stop studying my face."

All traces of curiosity vanish from his chiseled face.In their place is irritation.

"You and your roommate had quite the talk then."

"Are you ready to go?"

He closes the distance between us in two quick strides.He grabs my hair at the back of my head and uses it to hold me in place.Lightly brushing his lips across mine once, twice and then he trails his lips to my ear, "Careful, Wildcat.You have no idea what I'm capable of, and you won't until it's too late."

Naturally, when he threatens me, I lean into him and run my hand up the nape of his neck because that's what normal people do.A throat clears loudly behind me.Vaughn.I stiffen, but Adam just continues burying his face into my neck.I try to pull away, but he bites my throat and pulls me into him, gripping my ass hard.

Okay libido let's give it 48 hours before we strip down and give him our virginity in front of our best friend.Deal?

CHAPTER 7

Adam

My mind races withthe new plan.I want her.I have her.I will keep her.She's mine.

Walking into Eden House, we are immediately confronted by Cal and Cotton.My brothers.They both smile wickedly when they see me.

"And just where in the hell have you been?"Cal asks.
