“Possessive and jealous? Where is this coming from?”
Tommy walked over and stood by her side. He brushed her long brown hair away from her face and shoulder.
“Tagart. We know he texted you a bunch of times. We don’t like that asshole.”
She wasn’t sure how she felt about them checking her cell phone, but it did go off a bunch of times. If there were an emergency from one of her friends, it would have made a difference if they had checked sooner than later.
She took Tommy’s hand into hers and squeezed it, and then she placed her hand on Vic’s chest.
She spoke to both of them. “Okay. I’m only going to tell this to you guys one time.” She waited to make sure they were listening.
“I do not like Tagart. I will not entertain any of his invitations, and as crazy as this all is, I’ve never been anyone’s possession, but if it means that you’re saying you’re committed to me and that there won’t be any other women, then possess me all you want. Especially, if you two make love to me all the time just like you did last night.”
Vic pulled her by her hips closer to him and kissed her. When he released her lips, Tommy was there to take his place.
“I’ll never get enough of you, Elise. We’re going to keep you in our bed all day,” Vic stated.
“And I’ll never get enough of either of you. Now, how about you feed your woman? I’ll need some refueling if we’re going to spend the day in bed,” she stated. Vic chuckled as he moved out of her way so she could hop down off the counter. Tommy grabbed her around the waist. She immediately felt his hand over her ass as she locked gazes with him. No words were said, but she read it in his eyes. He was feeling as strong about their connection as she was. This was the beginning of the rest of her life. She just knew it.
So why was there a tiny little sting of concern in her belly, like a warning?

“So how is it looking?” Tysler Cobbs asked Tagart over the phone. Tagart was sitting in his hotel room looking out across the city of Dallas.
“It is looking pretty good. There are two right now I think will be perfect. Carver is getting some info on them and whether or not they have families or girlfriends. He knows the deal.”
“Good. And how about this sexy woman you mentioned? Did the photo shoot go well? When can I expect some pictures?”
“You should get them within the hour.”
“Excellent. Keep me posted. In the meantime, the event we’re hosting is set for two weeks from now.”
“How am I supposed to get them there for that? This event just started and in two weeks there’ll be the final round.”
“You said it was on Saturday night right?”
“Yeah.”
“Well this is Sunday night in Tennessee. You’ll get them there in time. I snagged a great location in a huge warehouse. The guys are setting everything up and the invites are going out. This is huge, Tagart. I’m talking millions. I got the bulls heading there next week. So do what you need to. Get close to the woman and the two riders you think will make me some money.”
“Okay.”
“Good. I’ll be in touch.”
Tagart hung up the phone and couldn’t help the annoyed feeling he had. Elise should be here with him right now. He wanted to fuck her six ways to Sunday. He couldn’t get her off of his mind, and it pissed him off knowing that she was probably with those two savages. So she liked it rough? Well, rough he would give her, once he had her in Tennessee. He walked over toward the bar in the room and made himself another martini. The bitch wouldn’t know what hit her and neither would those two asshole deputies.

Vic was making dinner since they had basically made love all afternoon. Right now she was cuddling with Tommy underneath a soft Indian blanket they’d had for many years.
Tommy’s back was against the couch, and she lay curled in front of him on the edge of the couch. His large hand cupped her breast while he drew tiny circles on her skin under the blanket with the other hand.
He kissed her temple as she closed her eyes and absorbed the feeling of closeness.
“You’re so pretty, Elise. You’re the prettiest woman I’ve ever laid eyes on.” She smiled at the endearment. He and Vic had told her over a thousand times how beautiful, sexy, gorgeous, and pretty she was. Funny thing was that she was beginning to believe them.
She turned her head to look at him.
