tried,
she really did, not to moan but it escaped her anyway, and she felt Gabe grin
against her lips. It should have angered her, but she was too far gone with the
touch of his lips and his mustache tic kling her. He
deepened the kiss, dipping his tongue into her mouth. It wasn’t her first kiss
but never, never ever, had there been one like this. Her arms slid around his
neck and her fingers splayed into his thick hair, knocking his hat to the
floor. She felt his hands move to her hips, and pull
her against him. She could feel his erection straining against his jeans.
Another moan slipped out, this time from Gabe. She wrapped her arms tighter,
trying to pull him even closer, but then she suddenly pushed ag ainst his shoulders.
    “Gabe...”
Emma tore her mouth from his, gasping. He raised his head slowly, gazed into
her eyes, and frowned. “Jake’s calling for me,” she explained. Gabe stepped
back just as Jake walked into the barn. He came to a standstill and glar ed at Gabe.
    “What
are you doing here, Gabe?” Jake stalked toward his brother.
    Gabe
scooped his hat up from the floor and slammed it on his head. “I was talking
with Emma as if it’s any of your business, which it isn’t.” Jake moved closer
to Gabe as they gl ared at each other. Emma stepped
between them. She put her hands on each hard chest. They both looked at her.
    “I’m
fine, Jake. I’m a big girl. Gabe and I were just…talking.” She knew her cheeks
were flaming red at the lie, but she couldn’t tell Jake the tr uth. The two men turned their heads back to stare at each
other again.
    “Back
off,” Jake growled between clenched teeth.
    Gabe
laughed. “Or what? Emma isn’t your little sister,
Jake. She’s a grown woman and it’s none of your business what she does.”
    Emma cou ldn’t believe it when Jake stepped closer. She was being
sandwiched between two huge men. Any other woman would have loved it, but not
her. She glared at Jake. “Let it go, Jake. He’s right. I know what I’m
doing…please,” she added when he didn’t move.
    Jake ’s jaw clenched and he continued to glare at his brother.
“She may not be my sister by blood, but we’ve known her practically her entire
life. I don’t want to see her hurt.”
    “What
makes you think I’d hurt her?” Gabe muttered.
    Jake
laughed. “Hell, Gabe. Tha t’s a real stupid question.
I don’t think you really want me to answer that.”
    “Fuck
you, Jake,” Gabe hissed through clenched teeth.
    Having
had more than enough of all the testosterone in the space, Emma stepped away
from them, waving her hand at them. “Fin e. Have at it. I’m going in to
dinner.” She walked away leaving the two men glaring at each other.

    “You
want to tell me what the fuck you think you’re doing?” Jake asked with a finger
punch to Gabe’s shoulder.
    Gabe
huffed, and turned away. “Shit, I don’t know…”
    “You
don’t know? Well, you’d better figure it out. I’m not kidding when I say I
don’t want her hurt. Christ! I will personally kick your ass if you hurt her.
You got that?”
    Gabe
turned back to Jake, standing toe to toe with him. “You and wh at army?” He sneered.
    Jake’s
lips tilted in a slow smile. “Wyatt’s.”
    Gabe
stepped back. “That’s cheating. You know he can kick both our asses.”
    The
brothers looked at each other, and then laughed. It was something they knew was
very possible. Just because Wyatt was the youngest
didn’t mean he wasn’t the meanest. Jake sighed. “You want to come in for
dinner?”
    Gabe
shook his head. “No thanks. I need to get some things done. I just came by to…”
    “See
Emma, yeah, I get it. She’s beautiful, but Gabe, you aren’t the right man for
her. She wants a family. She tells Becca all the time.” Jake shook his
head. “You don’t.”
    Gabe
narrowed his eyes at Jake. “You didn’t either at one time. Then a little redhe ad came into your life and look how happy you are now.
