confrontational tone begging to escape.
    â€œSomething you never do any other time,” Cooper growled as Turk slowly glanced to the ceiling as though daring to pray. “I’ve checked the video of previous weeks, Ms. Masters, to ascertain your schedule. If you brushed your teeth last night…”
    â€œShe did.” The snap in Turk’s tone had Erin glancing to her stepfather once again.
    He still wasn’t happy. If nothing else, he was becoming dangerously furious.
    â€œHow the hell do you know?” Cooper jerked around to glare at his security agent. “You were in the bar.”
    â€œCome on, Cooper,” Turk bit out, his expression tightening as his shoulders tensed further. “She brushed her teeth, dammit, and I know she did. Let it go at that.”
    â€œI want to know why.…”
    â€œBecause he kissed her before following her to her apartment where he stayed approximately forty-eight minutes before sneaking back to his own like some damned thief.”
    Erin flinched at the pure fury reflected in J.D.’s tone now.
    â€œAnd this isn’t some simple-minded little girl you’re accusing of treason, Cooper. She’s my damned daughter and here at this fucking club by my order.”
    â€œStepdaughter,” she felt the need to interject as shock rippled through the room and filled Cooper’s gaze.
    J.D. turned that glare on her then. “My daughter.”
    Erin lifted her hand, covered her eyes, and gave a brief, agitated sigh.
    Oh, boy, he’d just screwed this puppy right, hadn’t he?
    Silence filled the office.
    Lowering her hand she shot her stepfather an irritated look before shaking her head wearily.
    â€œThanks, J.D.,” she muttered mockingly before turning to Cooper. “I’ll collect my things and leave immediately.…”
    â€œHe didn’t hire you, little girl, I did,” J.D. snarled, turning on her with a glower that had caused much more seasoned agents to back down immediately. “He has no power over that decision.”
    â€œReally, J.D.?” she questioned him with amazement. “You didn’t even let the owner know I was coming because it behooved you to take the time out of your busy schedule, then ordered me not to. Do you really think he wants me here now?”
    â€œI’ll be damned if you’ll stay,” her stepfather growled, “after what that bastard pulled last night.…” He stabbed his finger in Turk’s direction.
    â€œWere you there?” she snapped back at him, mortified.
    God, how had he known?
    The heat that filled her face was beginning to set a flame to her temper.
    â€œI didn’t have to be there, your handler was.” Her handler? Her stepbrother? Oh, God, this was getting worse by the second.
    â€œAnd that misfit stepbrother of mine can go to hell for all I care.” She stepped forward, all but going to her toes to go nose-to-nose with him. “He’s always overexaggerating everything. He does it just to piss you off.”
    â€œAre you trying to tell me Rogan”—he flicked his hand at Turk—“didn’t seduce his way into your bed last night?”
    â€œI can tell you unequivocally he’s never been in my bed.” For the first time she was damned thankful he hadn’t joined her in her bed.
    â€œIs he gay?” J.D. snarled then.
    Erin backed down and stared at her stepfather in complete shock.
    â€œI’m calling Mom,” she muttered before turning back to Cooper and the complete disbelief that seemed to be frozen on his face.
    â€œWhat in the hell is going on here?” he asked her with impressive control as his gaze moved from her to J.D.
    â€œMy stepfather likes to think he somehow has a right to monitor my morality I guess,” she answered shortly. “We disagree on that. Often. But that was none of your business, just as he should have never sent me in here without
