darken when I say something that pushes him out of his comfort zone, or the way he rubs his finger over his top lip when he’s thinking.
    “Oh, look who’s here.” I glance at Jodi and smile when Chad appears next to the table. “Have a seat. We’re doing a little neighborly bonding.”
    Chad sits down, never once taking his eyes off my sister.
    “Nice to see you again, Chad.” I force myself not to groan at Jodi’s overly professional way of greeting a man who’s dying to rid her of her panties.
    “You look great.” Jodi forces a fake smile but otherwise doesn’t acknowledge his comment.
    “Sis, your drink is a little low. Are you ready for another one?” Jodi opens her mouth to answer, but I hop up before she has the chance. “Perfect. Tyler and I will go get it for you.”
    Tyler laughs as I pull on his arm, but he gives in and follows me to the bar. “You were real discreet back there. I’m sure your sister doesn’t have any idea what you’re up to.”
    “Who cares? Those two are perfect for each other. They just need a good hard shove in the right direction.”
    “How do you know they’re good for each other? You barely know me, and you know even less about Chad.” He shakes his head, clearly irritated by my comment.
    “You can learn a lot about someone without ever asking a question.”
    Tyler’s eyes darken in that sexy, brooding way that’s beginning to turn me on. “What do you know about Chad?” he challenges.
    I order a round of drinks from the bartender and turn back to Tyler.
    “I know he has a good job and that he’s head over heels in lust with my sister. Hopefully, once he gets to know her, he still feels the same way because my sister needs a man in her life, whether she’s willing to admit it or not. The way I see it, they’re perfect for each other. After a long day, all they have to do is walk across the hall and bam. They can have sex.”
    Tyler chokes on his beer, causing me to laugh.
    “Bam, they can have sex?”
    “Hell yes. Sex is the foundation of a good relationship.”
    “No, it’s not.” His reply was sharp and almost instant.
    “I beg to differ, my friend. Almost any argument can be solved by some bite my lip, spank my ass, fuck me hard sex.” Tyler’s eyes widen in shock. I lean in closer. “And don’t knock it until you try it.” I chuckle as I grab Jodi’s drink and walk back to the table.

HOLY SHIT. I’M SITTING IN a bar with an erection. Since my ex, Amber, and I split up six years ago, women in general haven’t held the same appeal as they did when I was younger. Amber is by far the last woman I’ve slept with, but to be honest, there haven’t been that many—definitely not for a single man in his mid-twenties. Since turning from a boy to a man, I’ve never had trouble controlling my desires, but listening to Lennie just now had the same effect as watching porn, only it left me wanting more.
    After a deep breath, I turn away from the bar and look over at the table they’re sitting at. Seconds after Lennie says something, both Chad and Jodi break out in laughter. I don’t know Jodi, but I’ve seen her in the halls a handful of times, and she’s always wearing a stern look, but not tonight. And Chad hasn’t laughed like this since he’s dialed back his wild behavior in hopes of gaining Jodi’s attention, and it’s all because of Lennie.
    After Amber, I decided marriage, kids, the white picket fence life wasn’t for me, but even if I hadn’t tossed in the towel, I never would have looked twice at a woman like Lennie Jacobs. She’s beautiful, but she’s also extremely intimidating. She says what she means, and she means what she says, and that’s a trait I’ve found is rare. Knowing I’ve sat here long enough, I force myself in the direction of our table.
    “What’s so funny?” I ask as I walk up next to Lennie.
    Chad starts shaking his head. “You don’t want to know, dude.”
    Lennie wraps her arm around mine and squeezes
