Free Unplanned Love (Savage Love) by Jodi Woody Page B

one!” he laughed. “Did you seriously think I’d be interested in someone like you. You are the most boring woman I have ever met, who puts more passion into eating then into lovemaking, a simple-minded repressed religious freak.”
         “ Then…why?” she asked trying not to let what he had just said get to her.
         “ It’s simple really. I overheard your conversation in the café about a rich relative and we hatched a plan to get some of the money. Then when I found out that he wasn’t a part of your family until the ‘I-do’s’, we decided to go along with the photographer thing.”
         “What could you possibly get out of it?” she said amazed.
         “A vacation, not to mention that Carrie and I haven’t spent a night apart since she moved in with me in September.”
         “You two live together…you mean after you took me out, you’d go home…” she said incredulously.
         “ …to me,” Carrie cut her off with a smirk.
         “He kissed me…bought me gifts…he tried to get me to sleep with him,” Seanna said to Carrie in shock.
         “I guess Kevin forgot to tell you that he’s on the drama team. My man can act,” said Carrie with a smile. “And you sucked it right up. When he’d get home we’d laugh about your holier-than-thou attitude and your eating habits. You kept us quiet entertained.”
         “Well, the entertainment is over. You’re leaving.” Seanna said firmly as she turned to leave.
         “We aren’t going anywhere. You can have the photos, call it a gift. But we are staying out the rest of the vacation. I haven’t put up with you for the past few months just to cut it all short. It’s not like you can make us leave without telling everyone what a fool you’ve been,” said Kevin. “There is no way you’ll let your family know that the man of your dreams can’t stand the sight of you.”
         “That’s enough!” said Bryce angrily as he stormed in the door.
         “Well, if it isn’t the big brother coming to the rescue,” sneered Kevin.
         “Get your things. You two are out of here. Seanna go out to the porch,” Bryce said between clenched teeth.
         No sooner had Bryce gotten the words out and Kevin pulled back his arm and hit Bryce square on the jaw. Catching him off guard, the sucker punch knocked Bryce back out the door, giving Leal access to the inside of the cabana. As Seanna and Carrie stood in shock, Leal quickly put Kevin in a submission hold, with one arm twisted in an unnatural way across Kevin’s own back, and was speaking calmly into his ear.
         “You have ten minutes to pack up and get to your boat. There are two men outside to make sure you do. When you get back to Wisconsin, you will not contact Seanna or come near her again. Understood?”
         “Don’t hurt him!” squealed Carrie. “We’ll go. Come on Kevin they aren’t worth it!”
         Leal turned Kevin loose and shoved him towards Carrie. Bryce was rubbing his jaw when Seanna walked out the door. Leal followed behind them and stopped to talk to the two burly staff members. Carrie slammed the door behind them as soon as they had got off of the veranda.

         “What was that ?” asked Seanna staring at Leal.
         “Didn’t we ever mention that Leal met Trisha when he was working as Daffyd’s body guard?” laughed Bryce.
         “Um…no,” she said amazed.
         “And he was a marine before that,” Bryce said slapping Leal on the back as the hero caught up with them.
         “Man, I hate fights,” said Bryce. “ They don’t solve anything.”
         “I never start them, but I am willi ng to stop them,” chuckled Leal as he crooked his arm around Bryce’s neck.
         “What were you doing there and where did those other guys come from?” asked
