do
next.”
    Standing up, I take an agitated Dino’s hand. “We’re
going to fuck. Probably talk about our feelings. Maybe even write poems about
fucking. Then fuck again. Why? What are your plans for the day?”
    “My guess is I’ll be cleaning up your fucking
messes.”
    “Yeah, sounds about right.”
    Dino gives Hayes a nasty glare and then walks to
the door while pulling me along. I pause before we leave.
    “I’ll tell you what. We’re nice people with good
manners. You’ve been a sugary sweet host, so we’ll do you a solid and go quiet
tonight. We’ll also call our boss and tell him to find his balls. Does that
make you happy?”
    Hayes leans back in the chair again. “Was that so
difficult?”
    “No, but if you talk shit about my fabulous ass
again, I’ll stop being so fucking cooperative. Now be nice to your temp so I
don’t have to learn a new name the next time I visit.”
    My extended eye contact with Hayes leaves Dino in
nearly a rage. He wraps an arm around my shoulders and directs me to the car
and away from the competition. I’m laughing by the time he joins me in the SUV
and slams the door.
    “He’s disgusting,” Dino growls.
    “I think he’s hot for you honestly.”
    Dino glances at me and shakes his head. “It’s not
funny.”
    “I feel a genuine spark between you two.”
    “That guy wants you. He’s used to getting what he
wants. You shouldn’t be alone with him.”
    I’m laughing so hard by the time he finishes that
Dino turns off the SUV.
    “Stop,” he demands.
    I can’t though, not when a vein next to his temple
is actually throbbing from him being so damn pissed.
    “It’s not funny,” he mutters, nearly pouting.
    Choking back my laughter, I wrap my hand around the
back of his neck and pull him towards me for a kiss. His lips devour mine until
my giggles turn to moans.
    I take his hand and place it snugly over my left
tit. Dino immediately leans away from me. My lips feel abandoned, and the
throbbing heat between my legs begs for the nice man to return.
    “People can see,” he says.
    “Good. Claim me in front of everyone.”
    Dino gives me a dirty look that makes my nipples
harder. His prickly nature is so sexy. He’s got a lot of rules about shit in
his head, and no one will break them without inspiring his wrath. Even loving
this side of him, I plan to break every single one of his rules just to see
what he’ll do.

    Shit Ain’t Funny
    M inka won’t stop laughing. Well she tries, and the
giggles do taper off occasionally, but they return once she looks at me again.
I don’t know what she finds so funny. I just know she’s pissing me off.
    I pull the SUV into the parking lot of a shopping
mall and turn toward her.
    “What?” I demand.
    “You’re actually jealous of Hayes and me. How is
that not funny?”
    “He was making eyes at you.”
    “No, he wasn’t. And even if he was, what makes you
think I’m interested in him?”
    Studying her face, I’m unconvinced. A man like
Hayes is always on the prowl for pussy. I should know. I was like him until I
met Minka.
    “So you’re saying you don’t find him attractive?”
    “He’s not hard on the eyes, but I’m rather taken
with the dumbass right here.”
    Minka pats my cheek. Before her hand pulls away, I
press it down tighter.
    “I don’t know. You were giving me all kinds of
grief, and now we’re suffering from fucking sickness. How do I know you won’t
try to switch off to his dick?”
    “Fucking sickness? Speak for yourself. I could go
again right now.”
    “Me too,” I say, challenging her.
    When I reach for my zipper, Minka laughs again.
    “This ain’t a joke.”
    “Isn’t it? I mean you can’t really be this wound up
over Hayes.”
    “It’s not about that asshole. It’s about you. How
you walk into a room, shaking your ass for everyone to see.”
    Minka’s tongue makes a quick, sexy swipe at her
bottom lip. “I have a sweet round ass. No harm in showing off what God
