Corbin released Benson and turned to Travis. Let s go.
They started out of the club. Corbin looked at the collapsed beauty
curled in Travis s arms, and his heart threatened to stop right there.
Hell and damnation! he yelled, turning the other way.
Where are you going? Travis asked. We need to get her out of
here!
Wait in the truck. I ve gotta ask him something else.
Man, you can ask later. Come on, people are staring. Let s go.
Meet me outside!
Damn it, Corbin! Travis called behind him.
This can t wait, Corbin said, disappearing into the crowd and
stretching his neck, looking for Benson.
When he spotted him, Benson ducked, trying to hide behind his
latest prey. Corbin shot through a funnel of people and wrapped his
arm around Benson s neck, grabbing him from behind. Whispering in
his ear, he said, I ll ask once, and by God, you d better give me an
Roping in Forever 37
honest answer, or so help me, I ll deck you here, and you ll be lucky
if you wake up next week.
Fuck! Benson screamed, trying to break free.
Yeah, about that did ya?
Benson tried to move, but he was overpowered by Corbin s
strength, hardly a match for his anger. No! I chose that outfit for her
and made her put it on in front of me. Shit, I didn t have time to fuck
her. Besides, you ve been watching her like a hawk since you got
here. How the hell could I screw her without you knowing it? She
hasn t been out of your sight for longer than a few minutes.
Corbin stilled behind him. You helped her dress?
Yeah, I swear that s all I did. I barely touched her.
Corbin jerked. Well, you sorry son-of-a-twisted-bitch!
I didn t fuck her!
Maybe not, but when it comes to Bella, we ain t talkin
horseshoes, and barely touching is still caressing flesh that don t
belong to you! He threw one punch and then gave him another.
When he didn t feel any better, he towered over him and brought him
to his feet. If I find out you took something you weren t supposed to
have, I ll be back. You understand me?
Yeah, Benson said, dabbing his lip. Working the kinks out of
his neck, he added, Shit, Corbin, I really didn t know she was yours.
Damn it, everybody in town knows the Cansey men are pure crazy
when it comes to women. If I d known, I swear I wouldn t have
brought her here.
Well, now you know, he said, strutting out of the bar. Once the
warm night air hit his face, he was struck by a new revelation as well.
And now I reckon it s time I own up to it, too.

You should ve let me go back inside and get her clothes, Travis
pointed out when Corbin pulled in her driveway a few minutes later.

I m not worried about her momma. She s probably out cold by
now.
Out?
She s an alcoholic.
Travis shrugged. Sot or not, she probably won t be too happy to
see you bringin her daughter home dressed like this.
Help me get her inside. Look in her purse and see if you can find
her keys. If we can let ourselves in, maybe we won t wake her
mother.
Travis dug inside the small clutch-style purse and retrieved a
loose brass key. This is the only thing she had in here other than&
Other than what? Corbin asked, meeting Travis s gaze.
Travis closed her bag. It s nothin .
Really? The way you re acting, nothin sure sounds like
somethin , Corbin said, reaching for the purse and snooping, too. He
felt all the blood drain from his face when he saw the plastic light
blue dial-a-day container. She s on birth control?
Travis waggled his brows.
I don t think this is funny.
I m not laughing. As a reminder, most women don t like men
goin through their things.
Then maybe she should ve chosen her dates more carefully, and
then we wouldn t have been responsible for bringing her home.
Cradling her body against his, Corbin felt a sudden sense of loss
and gain. Had he waited too long? Had she given her virginity to
another man while he was out there sowing his wild oats and trying to
keep his distance? Was Bella on birth control because she planned to
give it up to Benson, or had she been on the pill for a while now
because she was promiscuous and Corbin just hadn t heard about it?
He brushed her long golden locks away from her face. She looked
like a sleeping angel, a fragile woman so lost in her dreams, she [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
