wives, our children. I thought I taught you that, but maybe I failed there
too.
Ray shook his head as he nodded to the chairs Maria and Kelly had
sat in earlier. Come over here, Rowdy. Let s talk.
What s there to talk about?
Saving face, his father sighed. Those two cousins of yours have
waited nearly as long as you have for Kelly. They don t love her like you
do, but when you yank something like that out of a man s hands, they re
bound to get pissed. And you don t want that kind of pissed from men
you ve been as close to as brothers.

Ray leaned forward in his chair, staring back at Rowdy intently.
Damn, that look had the ability to send him right back to his teenage
years and the memory of his father s chastisements.
He wasn t a teenager anymore, but at the moment he felt as
uncertain as one.
Rowdy turned his gaze to his drink, wondering what the hell he was
supposed to say. He d already figured out the fact that he was making a
hell of a mistake, he didn t need his father to point that out to him.
It s tough, being as close to men as you are to Dawg and Natches,
Ray sighed. You three are closer than brothers, you always have been.
He shook his head, staring down at the glass in his hand as he grimaced
painfully. I had a friend like that once, Rowdy. He lifted his eyes then.
A damned good friend.
Rowdy stared back at him, knowing what was coming. Knowing he
didn t want to hear it.
It was before your mother. Ray cleared his throat. And there was
this woman. One that made the blood boil in my veins, made me want
forever. But I was dumb. Brick dumb. I thought I d always be the man I
was then. That what I wanted sexually would always be a part of my life.
And I shared that woman. Because I thought that pleasure was the
greatest gift I could give her&
He tossed back the rest of his drink before meeting Rowdy s eyes once
again.
Kelly should have been your sister, Rowdy. If I hadn t been so
stupid, I wouldn t have lost Maria all those years ago. She chose the lover
willing to love just her, rather than his own selfishness. Willing to give
her all of himself, without the childish need to have it all his own way.
Rowdy s jaw bunched tightly.
Dad, let it go. Rowdy shook his head sharply.

You re figuring it out, I can see that in your eyes. The same way I
thought I was figuring it out. But I let that bond I thought I had with my
buddy get in the way. I was torn between the loss of friendship, and my
own wants. And I thought the woman would be there either way. It
wasn t the friend I lost, Rowdy. It was the woman. And trust me, when it
comes right down to it, Kelly is no different than her mother.
Rowdy breathed in deeply. Damn, he had known he hadn t wanted to
hear this. He lifted the whisky before tipping more of the liquor into his
glass.
His father was silent then, finishing his drink as Rowdy sipped from
his.
I love her, Rowdy finally breathed out roughly. I didn t expect this
though.
Love changes us, Son. Ray rose to his feet, crossing the room slowly
to set his empty glass on the bar. Don t make the same mistake I did,
Rowdy. Once it s over that first time, once you ve let another man claim
what s yours and yours alone, you lose a part of your soul. Getting it
back is hell. A hell I hope you never know.
Rowdy stared back at his father silently, finally hearing what the
other man had always tried to teach him. What was fair, what he wanted
alone, wasn t all that mattered. He had begun learning it in the Marines,
but it was slapping him upside the heart now.
James Benton was still a friend when he died, Rowdy. And I grew up
and learned some damned hard lessons. Maria gave me a second chance,
but that chance came at a cost. A very high cost. The daughter that
should have been mine came from another man, and the son I love more
than life is about to fuck up not just his own life, but that girl s as well.
Watching it and knowing I can t stop it is hell. Remember that while you
struggle between what you love and what you want.

As Rowdy watched his father leave the room, a heavy sigh slipped
past his lips. Maria s objections to his relationship made more sense
now. He shook his head, realizing how well his father, James Benton and
Maria had kept that secret. Reputations. Theirs was intact, but his
wasn t. And now, he was risking Kelly s as well.
Tipping the glass to his lips once more he finished his drink before
grimacing tightly. Kelly obviously had no idea of her mother s past, and
she didn t need to know, he decided. They had fought to protect
themselves and their children, and Rowdy wouldn t betray the trust. But
damn if he didn t wish his father hadn t beaten some sense into him
years ago.
Then he grinned mirthlessly, knowing the chances of even that
working would have been slim. Some men just had to learn their lessons
the hard way.

Kelly was awake when he returned to the bedroom a little after
midnight. Sleep wasn t coming, no matter how hard she sought it. Each
time she closed her eyes she saw& herself& surrounded by the Mackay
cousins, their hands touching her as pleasure whipped around her. But
it wasn t pleasure she felt in the memory. She felt the dark swirl of
shame.
The same emotions she had felt each time she swore she wasn t
waiting one day longer on Rowdy and she was going to find someone to
love her. To stick around and be with her. Each time she had tried, each
time she had attempted to allow another man to touch her, shame had
eaten her alive for days later.

The door closed behind him, the click of the lock causing her to open
her eyes, to stare through the darkness as his shadow moved toward the
bed.
God, she loved him. If she could give him his every desire then she
would do it in a second, but some things she knew she couldn t do. Dawg
and Natches she couldn t do. And she had no idea how to tell him. No
idea how to broach what she knew could destroy the relationship she
had dreamed of.
Everything s quiet, he said softly as he pulled his shirt from his
body.
The room was dark, too dark to make out his expression, but she
could hear his voice, see the gleam of his eyes.
I was waiting on you. She could feel the tension between them, and
wished she knew why it was there. Was it hers or his?
Rowdy sat at the edge of the bed, pausing before he sighed tiredly
and bent to take off the sneakers he had laced onto his feet before they
left the boat.
His broad back shifted, muscles rippling beneath dark flesh as she
sat up in the bed.
Rowdy? She whispered his name, uncertain what to say, what to do
as he rose to his feet and shucked his jeans.
He was naked. As he turned to her she glimpsed the heavy, engorged
length of his erection a second before she was suddenly jerked to him.
Rowdy? She gasped his name as his lips covered hers, stealing her
breath, her startled cry.
And from there, her strength. His hands were hard, dominant as he
tore the shirt from her body, tossing it carelessly to the floor before his
lips took hers again. Her muted cries built in her head as he bore her to
the bed, spreading her thighs, sinking into her.

There were no preliminaries. No foreplay. One moment she was
empty, the next she was full, her pussy stretched to its limits as he
