“You’re such a lying little witch,” Wilder joined in. “You cheated.”

“I did not.”

“Then why did he slide money into his wallet just now? Did you split your winnings with him?”

“No!” she protested and tried to feign outrage that they’d

called her out so easily.

“One way to find out,” Wilder started to get off his chair.

“You don’t believe me?” she huffed. “Your own mate and you

don’t trust me?”

“You don’t like losing.” He rounded the table and looked at her, his face inches from her. “You took our effort at proving you are a sexy, beautiful woman and you got greedy with the game. I’m going to find out.”

“Okay, fine, I cheated. I split the winnings,” she gave in as he

started to purposefully cross the room.

“I knew it!” Rafferty slapped the table. “Why? You’re not that hard up for cash!”

“Because you’re both so damn arrogant. I wanted to one–up you.”

“You just didn’t want to kiss us,” Wilder argued as he got back into his seat.

“That’s not true.”

“So, you do want to kiss us?”

She frowned at Rafferty and sighed, “I’m just a girl drinking a beer.”

“Coward.”

“Not a coward.”

“Cheating coward,” Wilder embellished as he refolded his arms over his chest angrily.

“I’m sorry. I just, you two are always cocky and smug and I wanted to beat you.”

“It was supposed to be an exercise in showing you how beautiful and attractive you are.” Rafferty argued with her, “and instead you made it about something else.”

“But” she held her a finger up, “I still did better than you did.”

“How?”

“Because he did hit on me and when I offered to split my winnings with him if he pretended he didn’t hit on me, he tried to negotiate my number and then a drink and I told him no because I’m in a relationship. I didn’t do what you two did with Jacinta and just put him off. I shut him down and said I wasn’t interested. Then I paid him fifty bucks to pretend it

never happened.”

Both men were grinning at her, and she rolled her eyes as

she knew their cockiness was going to get out of hand now.

“In a relationship?” Wilder asked as he lifted his drink to his lips.

“Yes.”

“So, we’re in a relationship?”

“In the early stages of one, but yes,” she tried to appear like it was no big deal, but she felt her cheeks flushing.

“I will take it,” Rafferty grinned at her. “Come here.” He crooked his finger.

“What?” she flushed at his actions.

“You need to pay up. I want my kiss.”

“Right here?”

“Yes. Right here. Come here.”

“Can’t I just lean across the table? You lean in and I lean in?”

“Nope. Come over here. On my lap,” he patted his thigh. “Sit

here, kiss me and then I’ll pass you over to Wilder and he can

get his reward.”

“Nobody said anything about being in public.”

“Cheater and a spoilsport?” Rafferty looked at Wilder and

made a tsking sound. “Our mate needs some etiquette lessons. I wonder if Mother could arrange them for her.”

“Oh!” she hopped off her stool, rounded the table, and yelped when Rafferty lifted her right up and settled her on his lap. Her cheeks were burning and she felt like everyone in the room was staring at her as she tried to hide her face from anyone looking on.

“She should be punished for cheating. I think double the kissing time. We said ten seconds, but I think twenty at least

now,” Wilder commented from beside her as he rested his

chin in his palm, elbow on the table and smirked at her.

She stared into Rafferty’s eyes and saw the light there. He

was really excited at the notion of kissing her and it caused

a zing of excitement to go through her. She watched as he took her hand in his, linking their fingers and the electricity of their bond flared between their palms. Leaning into him, she let her lips touch his. Immediately he deepened the kiss, hungrily sliding his mouth back and forth over hers, stealing

her breath.

She shuddered in his arms when he broke the kiss and her

forehead rested against his as she tried to catch her breath.

“I love kissing you, mate,” Rafferty growled against her lips.

“I’m not upset about it, to be honest,” she admitted as he 5/8

stole another quick kiss from her.

“I like watching,” Wilder said from behind them. “It’s very sexy knowing our mate is being pleased. Makes me want to take

her back to the hotel and kiss her until she’s dizzy, naked, and coming.”

She swiveled her head to look at him with the intent to scold him but the very serious expression on his face gave her

pause. She saw the longing in his expression and when he adjusted his legs so she could slide off Rafferty’s lap onto his, she didn’t hesitate.

“Hi beautiful.”

“Hi.”

“Kiss me, sweetheart,” he brushed his thumb over her cheekbone before tucking her hair behind her ear.

She leaned into him and brushed her lips across his and just like Rafferty, he instantly wanted more than the simple kiss. His tongue was pushed beyond her lips, and he was devouring her mouth. She trembled in his arms, and he moaned as he curled his arms around her to his chest.

“So, fucking beautiful,” Rafferty whispered as he reached a

hand to stroke her back softly.

When the kiss broke, Jacqueline felt shy, resting her cheek on Wilder’s shoulder, her eyes meeting Rafferty’s.

“I think both of us are hard as rocks.”

Wilder adjusted her on his lap and she widened her eyes at

his words, realizing he wasn’t lying.

“You’re sexy, Jacqueline. So very sexy,” Rafferty sighed, “I hope you never doubt how sexy and beautiful you are.”

“Thank you,” she snuggled against Wilder.

“Our food is going to come out. I would very much love for you to stay sitting here though,” Wilder whispered as he pressed a lingering kiss to her temple.

“I’m not comfortable with staying here while I eat,” as he tensed, “but I’ll stay here until our food comes out.” At her

compromise she felt his lips curve into a smile and she met Rafferty’s gaze. “I can’t sit on both of you at the same time.”

“Oh, I bet we’ll figure that out in the privacy of our own room 7/8

eventually,” Rafferty deadpanned causing a burning feeling to sear he skin. “Would you look at that brother?” When Wilder pulled back to look at her face, “she turns other colors too. That pretty pink blush might be near as sexy as the blue.”
