important conversation.”
    “It happened yesterday, at your office, when you introduced me to everyone. Don’t you remember?” Taking her hand he pulled her down on the couch, “I’m surprised that you don’t remember.”
    “It’s interesting how your accent and southern bullshit is coming on really strong right now. Maybe because you know you’re in trouble.” She leaned her head against his considerable chest, “You are a con man in the best possible way. I’m going to have to keep my eye on you.”
    “I like the sound of that – you’d better keep a very close eye on me.” Leaning down he gently kissed her and tried to get her to open her mouth. Finally she let him and he enjoyed having his very pretty girlfriend kiss him back. She hit the nail on the head…. he was totally willing to use his southern charm and anything else he could think of to get his way with her. He noticed that she didn’t outright deny the fact that he was her boyfriend, and he was going to take that as a win. Things were heating up a little as they continued to kiss, he heard the door fly open and in walked his brother.
    “Big brother, I had no idea this is what happened in your office. If I did, I would have agreed to come work with you a long time ago.”
    “Sean, you dumb son of a bitch, you have the same lousy timing you always had.” He got up and pulled Rory up with him. “Sweetheart, meet my little brother.”  
    She straightened up and smiled at Max’s brother. “My goodness, are you all good looking? Or is it just the two of you?”
    Max didn’t care for the smile she was giving her brother. He was the only one who should get a smile like that. Needing to make things clear right away, he introduced Rory to his younger brother. “Sean, this is my girlfriend, Rory Basso.”
    Sean started to laugh, “No way man. Someone who looks like her is never going to be your girlfriend.” It was a brother’s job to give his sibling as much grief as he could, and Sean took his job very seriously. He loved his brother but he’d grown up in his shadow and it sometimes got a little old.
    Rory laughed, “So you must be the younger brother.”
    Max snickered and watched his brother stare at Rory. “You got it sweetheart, Sean had to follow behind me growing up, and it pissed him off.”
    “Well it’s nice to meet you. Come here and give me a hug. It looks like we’re going to become friends.” She stepped forward and hugged Sean, and Max saw the look of surprise on his face. Get used to it. We may be Special Forces, but she has a special force all her own.
    “How long are you in town for? I haven’t seen you in a long time.”
    “I have retired - I’m no longer with Delta Force.”
    Max wanted to know everything, but knew he would have to wait until Sean was ready to share what was going on. “So do you want to join us here?”
    “Yeah, I guess. I’m not sure what area I want to work in yet.”
    “We have a lot of requests for stuff in the Middle East and we’ve turned it down because none of the guys wants to go back to the sandbox. If you’re interested, then you can start developing that business.”
    “Give me a little time to figure things out, and I will let you know.”
    “Whatever you want man, I’m happy to see you healthy and in one piece.” He tugged his brother in for a hug and thumped him hard on the back.
    She watched the two brothers and noticed how alike they looked and acted. “How many of you are there?”
    “There are four of us, and we have each served in a different branch of the military. Sean has been with the Marines for thirteen years, Brett is an Air Force pilot and the youngest Brandon is a Ranger.”  
    “Your poor Mom! She’s had to worry about each and every one of you for all of these years. She must be a saint or a heavy drinker.”
    Max laughed, “She is a little bit of both. Actually she’s a true steel magnolia. Pretty on the outside and made of forged steel on the
