the door weighed too damn much to make an effective slamming
noise when she whipped it shut.
Josh paced while Alex lounged against his brother s desk, hands
in his pockets, looking for all the world as if he was so bored by life,
he was about to doze off standing up.
She marched right in and started right in. You listen to me, you
two macho honchos. You don t tell me what to do, ever. I don t work
for you!
Alex straightened and Josh spun on his heel. They reached her
nearly at the same time.
Pleased with her words and her tone, she finished her mini-rant
just as she approached the brothers. Index finger out, she intended to
give Josh a sound poke in the chest for good measure.
He grabbed her arms and gave her a good shake instead.
You re going to drive me crazy, do you know that? If you think
for one minute that we ll tolerate any threat to you&
He brought her up and forward and kissed her, his mouth hard on
hers, his tongue fierce in its domination of hers.
Penelope s brain told her she should fight this, if only on
principle, but once more her body disagreed. The taste of him shot her
libido from neutral to full-on arousal in two seconds flat.
Josh s kiss gentled, as if his anger had already evaporated under
the heat they made together. He moaned into her mouth, and that
sound thrilled her. As soon as he eased his grip of her arms from a

grasp to a caress, and slid his hands around her waist, Penelope
wrapped her arms around his neck.
Her tongue danced with his, her lips sliding and melding against
his mouth as if she d been starving for the taste of him forever. It felt
like days, months, years since she d been held and kissed, instead of
the handful of hours she had passed since they d loved. She pressed
her body close, and her nipples peaked as if they recognized the feel
of one of her lovers despite the layers of clothing that separated them.
Alex nestled close to them, his hard cock pressing against her hip,
his hand stroking her head. Here. Come here, baby, give me some of
your incredible heat, Alex said, and Josh eased back, and then Alex
took her in his arms. His kiss differed from his brother s. His mouth,
not as hard, not as angry, seemed just as hungry and determined to
gobble her down. Yes, she wanted to tell him. I could tell you apart in
the dark from just your kisses alone.
Alex eased away from her much too soon.
And another thing, pretty Penelope, we don t like you making
goggle eyes at your admin like you did this morning during the
meeting. Alex s expression looked as serious as she d ever seen it.
Dolt, she said the word softly, I wasn t making goggle eyes at
him. I was trying to ease his tension. He s absolutely terrified of
anyone whose last name is Benedict.
Good. He should be. Josh s voice held an edge she d never
heard before.
No, he should not be. Sheesh. Penelope stepped back from the
dynamic duo. Good God, she d come in to read them the riot act, and
in the next breath she tried to tickle their tonsils with her tongue.
That s some compartmentalization I have going on here.
She walked over to the window, behind Josh s desk, as that was
the furthest she could get away from them. She simply couldn t think
when they were within such easy reach.
We have to talk about your tendency to try and tell me what to
do as if you were the lords and masters of all your survey. She folded

her arms in front of her chest, and nodded her head once to show she
meant business. The effect might have been lost, as she had her back
to them at the time. She apparently couldn t think too well when she
was looking at them, either.
Since she deemed it more important they hear what she said than
watch her saying it, she continued to talk and look out at the Houston
skyline. First, this morning you act as if I should just lounge in bed
for the day like some weak-willed, simpering little miss and recover
from your devastating lovemaking, as if getting up and going to work
was beyond my capabilities. And then, in that meeting just now, you
go all Neanderthal on me, trying to order my life as if you had the
right to do so! She waited to see if they would respond and heard
nothing.
Into the silence came the sound of a lock being engaged.
Penelope whirled around. Josh rounded one corner of his desk
while Alex moved toward her from the door he d just locked, heading
for the opposite corner. They clearly intended to get her between
them, apparently their favorite place to have her.
