twin. “I’m warning you, Conner. Rayna’s ass is mine when she returns. Don’t try and get between us.”
     
    A hint of fury briefly flared in his twin’s eyes. “We’ll see. In the meantime, tell me about her friend.”
     
    “What’s to tell except that her family has a lot for which to answer?”
     
    “Why? Did her table manners leave something to be desired?”
     
    Conner was clearly enjoying his discomfort. “What the hell can they be thinking to allow her to go off spending the weekend fucking strange men?”
     
    “There’s no family to object.”
     
    “None?”
     
    “She’s an only child. Her parents overdosed when she was just six.”
     
    Damn. He frowned. “Aunts and uncles?”
     
    “Both her parents were only kids.”
     
    “Who raised her?”
     
    “Her grandparents raised her to be as unlike her parents as possible. They were in their sixties when her parents overdosed. Imagine what Brandi’s life must have been like trying to be a good enough girl to please them.”
     
    Imagining the picture Conner painted gave him no pleasure. “And now?”
     
    “Her grandparents died in a plane crash a year ago.”
     
    “So she’s totally alone?”
     
    Conner nodded.
     
    She was alone in the world with no male to protect her. He caught himself. Why should he care? “Why would she agree to spend the weekend with me?”
     
    “She likes to fuck and I’m thinking she didn’t get to do it nearly as much as she wanted when her grandparents were alive. They certainly wouldn’t have approved of her planned weekend to fuck you senseless.”
     
    And damn if that wasn’t exactly what she’d done. Even now, he wanted her again…wanted to palm her large, lovely ass, and slide balls deep into the sweetest pussy he’d ever had the pleasure to fuck.
     
    The sudden and unwelcome thought that she might have lied about the number of lovers she’d had annoyed him. He didn’t even want to think about the lovers yet to slide between her lovely, silken thighs. “What about her man?”
     
    “She’s between them at the moment.”
     
    “How do you know so much about her, Conner?”
     
    “Rayna told me—when she was trying to sucker me into spending a weekend with her.”
     
    So Rayna had tried to set her up with Conner. Thank God she hadn’t succeeded with Conner or Adrian would have missed the most incredible fuck of his life.  
     
    “Say what you want about my being overprotective of Rayna, Adrian, but I wasn’t enough of a sap to be tricked into bedding her friend.”
     
    Adrian gave Conner a cool look. He wouldn’t be so damn smug if he knew what a fantastic lover Brandi was.
     
    Conner glanced at his watch. “Still, I think I’ll take a run up to the cabin. See you on Monday.” Conner turned away.
     
    Adrian gripped his shoulder and swung him around. “Why?”
     
    “Why what?”
     
    “Why are you going to the cabin?”
     
    “If you’ll recall you left the charming and weepy Ms. Knight stranded there.”
     
    “So?”
     
    “Was she so disappointing in bed you feel she deserves to have to walk back to Philly?”
     
    He ignored the censure he heard in Conner’s voice. “The ride there and back is only about four hours. Why the hell won’t I see you before Monday?”
     
    Conner arched a brow. “I like the scent of her pussy I smell on you. And even close to tears she has a sexy voice.”
     
    “What the hell does she have to cry about?”
     
    “You’re asking me? I should be asking you that question. You’re the one who fucked and ran and left her in tears. You must be a little rusty. Maybe you need to work on your technique.”
     
    Adrian compressed his lips. “My technique is fine!”
     
    “I wonder if she’d agree after the way you walked out on her.”
     
    Any male who dared treat Rayna as he’d treated Brandi would be beaten to within an inch of his miserable life. But hell would freeze over before he admitted that to Conner.
     
    “I think
