Brett wanted her in a bad, bad way.
She sauntered toward him—a seductress intent on the object of her desire.
“Are your dangerously out-of-control hormones going to keep testing my resolve for the rest of your pregnancy?” He’d meant it as a jest, but his voice was still thick with need.
“Probably. But if you’re expecting an apology, you’re going to be disappointed.”
“Let’s get out of here.”
They strolled to the grand staircase. “How’s it going to feel like a proper date if you don’t kiss me good-night?” she asked in a quiet purr of a voice as they mounted the stairs.
Oh, man, she wasn’t making this easy on him. “Your hormones again?”
A mischievous grin graced her lips. “No. That was all me.”
“Hannah, I don’t think getting physically involved with each other is the best plan.”
“It’s not the worst plan, either.”

There was no fury in hell or on earth that compared to an Oklahoma thunderstorm when it decided to unleash a twister. The clouds above Tulsa churned, glowing gray green. Golf-ball-sized hail pelted Brett’s Stetson and the back of his oiled leather duster. He folded forward, shielding Outlaw’s neck and mane from the brunt of the hail’s force as best he could, though neither man nor steed were strangers to the elements.
