Nope.”
    Then nothing. She just let the silence
stretch. She might have been the youngest Johnson, but MJ knew just
how to control all of them. And one way was with silence. Even
knowing that, he took the bait.
    “ What do you mean by
personal life?”
    “ Listen, I talked to
Jesse, who told me she is gorgeous. Of course, I always knew she
would be. She was just one of those girls who needed to grow into
her looks. Now, with you there, you could be cramping her
style.”
    “ Cramping her
style?”
    “ Yeah. I mean, if I were
her and working on a base with a ton of military men, I know I
would probably be busy. Okay, if I hadn’t sworn off military men
like I had.”
    There was some kind of talking on the
other side of the phone.
    “ Of course, not now, Leo.
It’s all about you, the sex god of my dreams.”
    Bran was amused and disgusted at the
same time. MJ and Leo had a relationship most people would call
just about perfect, but then those people didn’t have to hear them
be disgusting.
    “ Could you two not talk
about sex while I am on the phone?”
    “ Better than us having it
on the phone while you listen.”
    “ Ugh, I don’t know how you
turned out the way you did.”
    “ Anyway, back to your
living arrangements.”
    “ I’ve been here a few
days. I looked at houses and apartments one day. We hit the beach
another day. And, Tess has been working like crazy hours since
then.”
    “ Maybe you drove her
away.”
    “ I didn’t drive her away.
Oh my God, you are such a pain in the ass. Stomach flu hit the
hospital staff, so she’s helping out.”
    The door to the garage opened in the
kitchen and he looked over. All of a sudden, he felt the air leave
his lungs, and he felt a little off center. Tess was smiling and
she looked like she hadn’t had much sleep since he’d seen her that
morning, but…damn, she was beautiful.
    Every ounce of good sense drained from
his head…along with the blood. His body reacted even if his mind
hadn’t caught up yet. Heat surged through is his veins and
everything he had been fearing seemed to fade away. There was only
one thing that mattered now and that was touching Tess.
    “ I gotta go now,
MJ.”
    “ Wait, I’m not done with
you—“
    But he hung up the phone. “Hey. You
look beat.”
    She sighed. “I am. I think I’ll strip
down, crawl into bed, and go into a coma sleep.”
    His brain sputtered to a stop. Right
there, right then, he wanted her. There was no denying it now. His
body ached, his head spun. Never in his life had he wanted a
particular woman this much. It left him slightly dizzy and
confused. Over the last few days, he had denied his need for her so
many times, but right then, at that moment, he couldn’t. There was
something about Tess that tugged at his heart. It was probably a
mistake, but he didn’t think he could stop himself from taking
action. He walked over to her and slipped his arm around her waist.
In that instant, it just felt right.
    She frowned. “Bran?”
    “ I’ve been thinking about
this all day.”
    He had been. Since he stopped by for
breakfast that morning, he’d been thinking about it. He wanted a
taste. Her mouth. Her flesh. Bran wanted to savor every bit of her
body.
    The moment his mouth touched hers, she
shivered. He was enough of a man to admit that it turned him on to
know she was vulnerable to him. She moaned against him as he
pressed his body to hers.
    Before he knew what was happening, she
pulled back shaking her head at him. It took him a second to
realize she was trying to disengage from him. There was a split
second where he thought about denying her that. Not allowing her to
go. Then, his common sense hit him. With much reluctance, he
allowed her to step back.
    “ What’s wrong?”
    She looked at him strangely, and he
didn’t blame her. Even Bran heard the arousal in his voice. It
vibrated just beneath the surface and pounded through his
veins.
    She took another step back. “This
isn’t smart.”
    “ I
