Anne Kane

Stephanie, Jackie and Caroline. The three women have been friends for years, and they’ve built themselves a nice bed and breakfast /ranch operation. But with less than a fortnight to Christmas, a ruthless banker has swindled them out of their beloved home. What will they do?

Well, kidnapping him and holding him hostage until he decided to do the right thing sounds like a good plan. Unfortunately, it all goes hilariously wrong when they discover they’ve kidnapped the wrong man. Bondage, obedience classes and more are needed to make sure there’s a Merry Christmas this year!

Chapter One

Here he comes.

Are you sure this is a good idea?

Shhhh! He might hear you!

Not likely. He’s wearing earphones.

Ready?

Ready.

Now!

Caroline jumped out from behind the stack of pallets and tossed the heavy horse blanket over Mr. J. Smithers’ surprisingly athletic figure.

Steph followed her out of hiding, quickly dropping a double-looped lasso on top of the blanket and pulling it nice and snug, trapping the financier’s arms against his sides.

Jackie bounded out from the other side of the pallets and with surprise on their side, the three friends managed to maneuver the man into the side door of their van before he had a chance to react to his abduction. Served the no good, lying, cheating con man right. She hoped the rug would leave a few burn marks on Mr. Smithers’ traitorous skin.

The three women scrambled into the front of the vehicle and slammed the doors shut. Jackie quickly turned the key, and the engine roared to life, drowning out the muffled sounds from their captive. Within minutes they were on the highway and headed to the old homestead building on the back acreage of their ranch.

Well, it used to be their ranch. Before this low-down dirty scum had tricked them out of it. But that little glitch in their business plan was about to be rectified. Once they arrived at their destination, they intended to persuade Mr. Asshole here to return their property to its rightful owners.

Jackie kind of hoped he wouldn’t agree right away. She really wanted a chance to hurt him. Not much. She was a pacifist, after all. But even a loving goddess would have to agree that a couple of well-placed kicks wouldn’t go amiss, given the circumstances.

Maybe she’d let him wallow in the aroma of one of her home-cooked meals while feeding him canned spaghetti and store-bought bread. Yeah. That could be considered harsh punishment. She smiled.

Hang on, girls. Dirt road coming up fast. She yanked the steering wheel hard to the right, and the van lurched onto the one-lane washboard track leading to the cabin.

You could slow down a bit. Caroline clenched her teeth against the bumpy ride.

Sorry. Got caught up in the moment. Jackie took her foot off the gas pedal and the old vehicle slowed to a more reasonable speed for the rarely used dirt track. How’s our package doing?

A muffled exclamation from the blanket-draped man managed to express his outrage. The three women looked at each other, their expressions solemn for a long moment before they all broke out in laughter.

We did it! We got him!

Phase one of the plan complete. On to phase two! Caroline, their self-appointed organizer, smiled. She’d compiled their five-year business plan when they’d started the bed-and-breakfast at the ranch, and she’d outlined the plan to get the ranch back from the con man who’d taken advantage of their trusting nature.

Jackie had to give him credit. He’d played them with impressive finesse.

When Steph had read the documents for their business expansion loan, she had been ecstatic. Seed money for small business start-ups was notoriously hard to find, especially at interest rates like the ones Mr. Smithers offered.

She swore to her partners that the paragraph stating that the title of the ranch would transfer to Mr. Smithers if he did not receive repayment in full within sixty days had not been in the original contract, and Jackie was inclined to believe her. As a legal assistant, Stephanie was quite adept at reading small print.

Somehow, this low-down excuse for a man had inserted that little gem sometime between them signing and the papers being filed at the county seat.

Exactly sixty-one days after receiving what they thought was a gift from the goddesses, they’d received notice of eviction.

Damn!

Kind of made a gal want to kick that hog-tied excuse for a man right where it hurt.

Help me get these hobbles on him. Caroline motioned Stephanie to hold the man’s legs while she twisted a length of rope around them, leaving just enough slack for him to hobble slowly. I don’t aim to carry the no-good critter into the cabin.

Jackie pulled the van up to the front of the cabin and killed the engine. And we’re home!

A very loud expletive emanated from under the blanket as Caroline pulled the hobbles a tad tighter than necessary. Jackie turned in her seat and slapped the side of his legs by way of acknowledgement, secretly glad of an excuse to hit him. After what this guy had done, none of them felt any sympathy. Hell, if they could have gotten away with it, they would have tied him to the roof of the van for the trip to the cabin.

On your feet, Mr. Smartass. Caroline pushed the carpet-wrapped banker toward the side door as Stephanie slid it open.

Jackie helped her to tip the guy upright, and between the three of them they pushed and pulled the reluctant package into the cabin, ushering him into the extra bedroom just off the Great Room.

Should we untie him now? Jackie felt an unwelcome qualm of guilt as the man coughed hoarsely through his gunnysack hood. What if he had asthma? Or allergies? She wasn’t the kind of woman to actually want to hurt a person. At least not too badly.

Hang on a second. Need to set the scene for him first. Caroline’s Texas drawl thickened noticeably, a sign she was anticipating some fun. Pivoting on one foot, she disappeared into the back of the cabin, returning with a rifle slung carelessly over one shoulder.

You can undo him now. Pulling a fully loaded magazine out of her pocket she slapped it into the .22. With any luck he’ll give me a chance to use this.

Stephanie rolled her eyes, but didn’t say anything as she glanced over at Jackie. They both knew Caroline wouldn’t hurt a flea if it was biting her on the ass. She did look intimidating though, and that’s what they were counting on.

The plan was to scare this son of a bitch into giving them back their ranch.

Jackie loosened the rope and pulled the blanket off Mr. Smithers’ head. Good thing he had one of those short military haircuts, nothing long enough to catch in the rough fabric as it pulled away from his head.

The way he glared at her once his head was free had her tempted to put the blanket right back on again. The man looked dangerous!

Actually, he looked a lot younger than Jackie had expected. She’d pictured him as a middle-aged, white-haired slightly balding banker type, but he was anything but. He looked like he could model for one of those military places, or maybe do a recruitment poster for the Navy SEALs. Bankers weren’t supposed to have all those hard angles and bulging muscles.

As if to prove her point, the man brought his hands up, snapping the rope off them with a quick movement of his hands, before he paused and took a good look around. What the hell? A bunch of women? What is going on?

Jackie scrambled backward out of arm’s reach. Maybe they should have thought this through a little better. She didn’t know about Steph or Caroline but the thought of their quarry fighting back hadn’t even entered her mind.

Go ahead, Mr. Smartass. Make my day. Caroline brought the gun up to her shoulder, sighting down the long barrel as she drawled out the famous phrase.

Seriously? The man shook his head, obviously not impressed. That’s a .22, not a real gun.

Caroline moved the barrel slightly to the side and pulled the trigger, sending a shot into the chinking between the logs.

Hey, be careful! Their captive looked a little less amused. Those things can ricochet, you know!

I am very much aware of what this little baby can do. Now strip before I decide to see if there’s real blood running through those veins of yours, or just ice water.

I am not going to strip! The outrage in the man’s voice almost made Jackie want to laugh. Almost. What do you want from me?

Well. Caroline smiled, and even Jackie knew it wasn’t a good sign. You could sign our ranch back over to us, and we might let you go with just a little flogging.

Your ranch? You women been drinking or something? That makes no sense.

Not yet. She turned to Stephanie, her gun still trained on their captive. You want to go see if there’s a bottle of wine around here somewhere?

Sure. I think I saw some in the kitchen cupboards. Steph turned and left the room.

Caroline turned her attention back to the man. My arms are getting tired, and this trigger is pretty touchy, so you don’t want to annoy me. I want you to take your clothes off. Now you can strip like some idiot in a hurry to go to bed, or you can try to butter me up by making a show of it, but in about ten minutes I want to see your little man parts dangling free and clear. Understand?

Their delectable captive crossed his arms on his chest and glared at her. No.

Caroline raised one brow, a hint of a smile playing around her lips. No?

No. I do not understand. While I agree I’m a nice enough-looking guy, I don’t think seeing me naked is enough to risk a jail term for kidnapping, so why are you doing this?

Let me tell you a little story.

Jackie winced at the sarcasm in Caroline’s voice.

Once there were three friends who worked their butts off to start a nice bed-and-breakfast on a ranch they owned just outside town. They worked really hard, and made a fair success of the business, but they knew they could do better. They just needed a little loan to expand and then, lo and behold, a nice man offered to lend them the money. Her voice hardened. Only he cheated. And possibly committed fraud. At the very least, he deceived them and stole their business from them.

She lifted the rifle to her shoulder and sighted along the barrel for a moment before straightening up again. It’s not nice to cheat decent, hard-working women out of their business, wouldn’t you agree?

The man’s brows furrowed in confusion. Well, yeah, but what does this have to do with me?

Jackie groaned out loud, earning herself an impatient look from her friend.

Caroline turned her attention back to the man in front of her. You are Mr. J. Smithers, are you not?

He nodded slowly. Mr. J. Smithers. I think I’m starting to get the picture. You borrowed money from Mr. James Smithers?

There was absolutely no humor in the smile on Caroline’s face. That is correct, Mr. Smithers.

He spread his hands wide. I’m Mr. Jebediah Smithers. You have the wrong man.

Caroline shook her head. Nice try, but I don’t buy it. We picked you up coming out of the very same office where we went to sign those papers for the loan. Her expression hardened. Now strip!

You’ve got the wrong guy!

Caroline squeezed the trigger slowly, placing a bullet just in front of the man’s feet. I told you to strip.

Fine! But you still have the wrong guy. Reaching down, he grasped the edge of his shirt and pulled it over his head.

* * *

This might just be a lot more interesting than they’d realized. Jackie watched as Mr. Smithers divested himself of his clothing. Very nice. His broad shoulders topped a chest layered with ropes of muscle, and narrowed down to lean hips and muscular thighs. He didn’t even bother to try and cover his impressive manhood. Jackie didn’t take her eyes off him as she stepped over to stand beside Caroline.

At that moment, Stephanie reappeared with an opened bottle of wine and three glasses. Oh my. Maybe we should reconsider and just keep him in trade for the ranch. I’ve always wanted a pet.

I suppose if you want a snake for a pet, he’d be okay. Caroline obviously wasn’t impressed by the man’s physical attributes. That does give me an idea, though.

Oh? What’s that?

Well, Mr. Smithers here seems to need a little more convincing before he’s ready to give us back our ranch, so I’m thinking we might have to do him some bodily harm.

Really? Jackie couldn’t help the squeak in her voice. She hadn’t been sure where Caroline was going with the strip thing, but she was starting to feel sorry for their captive. Maybe he really wasn’t the right guy.

I don’t look anything like James Smithers! Exasperation laced the man’s words. He’s got at least ten years on me, not to mention twenty or thirty pounds. How can you not tell I’m the wrong guy?

We didn’t actually meet Mr. Smithers. His secretary did all the paperwork. We just talked to him on the phone and exchanged emails.

Jebediah rolled his eyes. Well, Google him or something. I tell you, I’m not the man you’re looking for.

Ignoring him, Stephanie handed each of them a glass and poured the wine. I think we need to tie him to the bed. We can’t keep him at gunpoint all the time, and we don’t want him to escape.

I’ll tie him. Jackie took a big gulp of her wine and put the glass down on the windowsill. Wow! That stuff really packed a punch. Get up on the bed.

And if I don’t?

Caroline answered with another shot at his feet, this one closer than the last. Jackie sure hoped it wasn’t just luck. The thought of trying to explain to the local small town hospital what they were doing with a gun and a naked man didn’t bear contemplating.

Right. The delicious hunk of manhood sat on the edge of the bed. You do know that firearms and alcohol are a bad combination, right?

Caroline rolled her eyes. You do know it’s a bad idea to annoy the woman with the loaded rifle, right?

Chapter Two

Ever wonder what it would feel like have the woman take the offensive in the bedroom? Jackie looked down at the man as she tested the last knot attaching his wrist to the bed post above his head. He looked deliciously helpless, spread-eagle naked on the big four-poster bed. He had the most amazing blue eyes. She had a feeling she could happily drown in their depths and never return to reality.

He shook his head. A little hard to take advantage of a guy who’s not willing, don’t you think?

She felt her lips curve up in a smile as she reached over to run her fingers down the length of his cock. I bet I could manage to get the little guy to stand up for me.

Little? He sounded quite put out at her phrasing. Guys were so touchy when it came to their privates.

Well, it might get bigger if I play with it. She circled the base with her thumb and forefinger.

Jackie, what are you doing? Caroline sounded only mildly interested. Once their captive had been secured to the bed she’d propped the gun against the wall and sat back to enjoy her wine.

Just making sure Mr. Smithers here knows who the bosses are. Jackie tossed her head, letting her long hair slide down her back. I’ve never had a guy tied up for me to play with before.

Well, just make sure you don’t let him loose. We still need him to sign those papers for us, and I’d really like possession back before Christmas week. We had full bookings from then until New Year’s.

No problem. I think I like having him tied up. It kind of turns me on.

Caroline let out a bark of laughter. Who would have thought, our little homemaker is a closet dominatrix!

Jackie sniffed. Just because I like to bake cookies doesn’t mean I don’t have a taste for some adult fun, too. And I notice you’re not too shy to watch. Besides, no matter who he was this guy was seriously gorgeous. She was starting to hope he was telling the truth. She’d have to have one foot in the grave not to wonder if his lovemaking was as good as his looks.

Stephanie lifted her glass in a mock salute. Touché! You tell her, Jackie. I’ll just sit here and take notes for when it’s my turn.

Her turn? Jackie reached for her wine glass and took a big gulp while she mulled that statement over. She wasn’t so sure she was willing to share. She took another gulp of the wine. Pretty good stuff. She must remember to ask Stephanie where she’d gotten it. Putting the glass down, she turned her full attention back to the man tied to the bed.

So your name is really Jebediah?

He nodded. I’d cross my heart and all that, but I’m a little tied up at the moment.

Jackie giggled. Yeah, you are.

He raised his brows. You’re enjoying this, are you?

She nodded. I’ve never had a guy tied up for me before. Leaning forward she wrapped her hand around his cock. It was a lot bigger than the last time she’d touched it. You don’t seem too upset with the arrangement either.

So long as it’s you, he whispered loud enough for everyone to hear. Your friend with the gun is a little scary. Can you protect me from her?

Jackie gave a dismissive wave of her hand. Caroline’s harmless really. She’s just pissed because she thinks you stole our ranch. As soon we get it back, she’ll be nice as pie.

But you know I’m not that Mr. Smithers!

Jackie gave a mock sigh and shook her head. Are you sure I know that? If you’re not going to cooperate, I’m afraid I’m going to have to ravish you.

Ravish? God, that smile of his really ought to be outlawed! You’ve been reading a few too many bodice rippers.

Nonsense. I’ve read just enough to know how this works. She stroked her hand up and down his stiff cock, admiring the way it seemed to grow under her eager fingers. Of course I’m going to have to take my clothes off too. It’s practically impossible to take advantage of you if I’m still fully clothed.

By all means, take your clothes off. I can hardly wait to be ravished by such a luscious female. You’re sure your friend isn’t planning on shooting me before you get a chance? Because that would be a real shame. He smiled encouragingly and flexed his hands.

She had the feeling he could break himself loose if he really wanted to. The thought added a little sizzle to the proceedings.

It didn’t take her long to shed her clothing, although she wasn’t sure it was a very enticing show. She made a mental note to practice her striptease moves. So far in her life it hadn’t been a priority. Usually she was the shy, quiet one who watched from the sidelines while Stephanie and Caroline did all the outrageous things. Her job was to help clean up the mess afterward.

Still, naked was naked, and she’d accomplished that. Now she just needed to take advantage of her captive.

Untie my hands. Jebediah’s husky voice snapped her attention back to the present.

Why?

I want to touch you.

No, I don’t think that’s going to happen. She climbed back onto the bed, and straddled her captive. Unless you’re ready to sign those papers? Of course it wouldn’t do them much good if he did, but she had to keep up the pretense or else admit she was just plain horny and wanted an excuse to do this.

Still not the right guy, but if you untie me I’ll be able to touch those gorgeous breasts of yours and I really want to do that.

My breasts? Jackie reached up to cup her breasts, absently massaging the plump globes as she digested his words. She’d always been a big girl, and no one had ever referred to any part of her as gorgeous before. Was he just trying to butter her up? He probably thought she’d do anything he asked if he threw out a few compliments.

Not going to happen. She might not have been the most popular girl in her high school class, but she wasn’t desperate for male attention. Hell, she knew how to keep her libido satisfied all by herself when necessary.

She rolled her nipples between thumb and forefinger, enjoying the tingling sensation that went straight to her sex. Nope. She didn’t need a man’s hands on her to make her feel good.

The man drew in a sharp breath, his eyes going dark and smoky as he let out a low groan. That is so sexy! You’re killing me here.

Care to sign the ranch back over to us now? She grinned. Nothing like taunting him with an impossible solution.

I would, but it won’t do you any good. I’m not James. I’m Jebediah! His voice rose to a frustrated pitch as she lifted one finger to her mouth and slowly licked it.

I guess you have a problem, then. Lowering her finger, she smeared a trail of wetness down her breast, circling each nipple in turn.

He didn’t answer her, his gaze glued to her breasts as she teased the nipples into hard little peaks. Jackie could feel the moist heat gathering at the apex of her thighs. Who knew teasing a man by touching yourself could be such a turn-on?

Arching her back, she lifted her head and closed her eyes. She splayed her fingers wide and ran them slowly over her naked body, exploring each inch as if it were new and unfamiliar territory. Jebediah’s body quivered beneath her, and she peeked down to see his cock growing longer and harder all on its own.

For the first time ever, she felt an invigorating sense of power in her own sexuality. A man wanted her. Visibly, undeniably wanted her. The muscles in his arms stood out in bulging cords as he gripped the restraining ropes tightly. His eyes were dark with lust, and there was no mistaking his body’s reaction to her actions.

She slid the tip of her tongue across her top lip. Do you like this?

Damn right I do. Get these ropes off me and I’ll show you just how much!

She shook her head. Not yet. You’ve been a bad boy, you know.

He groaned, his brow furrowed in frustration. That wasn’t me!

So you say. She ran the palm of her hand down across her belly to rest lightly on her mound. She’d never liked the feel of a bald sex, preferring instead to keep the dark riot of curls clipped neatly short. She ran her fingers through the soft fluff as she contemplated her next move.

Jebediah shifted beneath her, his cock bobbing with his every move.

That was one impressive cock, and the first one she’d actually had the chance to study for any length of time. She hadn’t dated much, and her few forays into intimacy had been quick and generally in the dark. She didn’t get much more than a glimpse of the man’s shaft before she found herself impaled on it.

This might be her best chance to study the male anatomy close-up. It would be a shame to waste such an opportunity. Turning herself around, she straddled Jebediah’s belly with her back to his face. In this position she could feel the taut muscles of his stomach beneath her, but right now she was more interested in other areas of his impressive anatomy. She bent forward and flicked her tongue across the tip of his cock, sweeping up the single drop of pre-cum that rested there.

What in the name of all the gods are you doing?

Jackie turned to throw him a mischievous smile from over one shoulder. It just occurred to me that it’s almost Christmas, and I think you owe me a present. Unfortunately you appear to be a bit tied up at the moment, so I’ll just help myself.

If you let me go, I would be more than happy to satisfy you. The thick desire in his voice left no doubt about his sincerity.

I think I prefer it this way. She turned back and slurped her tongue from his balls all the way to the tip of his cock. Being in charge kind of turns me on.

I can smell that. Move your hips back another six inches and I’ll be able to taste it. Jebediah arched his hips, and Jackie automatically compensated by shifting her weight backward to her knees.

She let out a strangled yelp as Jebediah’s tongue slid through the soft folds guarding the entrance to her sex. What the…

Damn that felt good. The man knew his way around female anatomy. Jackie shifted her hips further back, spreading her legs to allow him better access before turning her attention back to his very hard shaft.

Sliding her hand between his thighs, she gently cupped his balls. Squeezing them gently, she massaged them just like she had her breasts. Apparently that was a good move, as his cock jerked in time to her ministrations.

She licked her lips and lowered her head to suck the tip of his massive cock into her mouth. It tasted… different. She wasn’t quite sure how to describe it. Male. Yes, definitely male.

Giving a blow job was another of those things she hadn’t done before, but she’d certainly read a lot on the subject. According to the naughty books she’d devoured, men liked them. She worked her way down the massive shaft, licking and sucking while still massaging his balls with her hand. She wasn’t sure she’d be able to take him all in, but she’d give it her best shot!

Jebediah’s tongue made it hard for her to concentrate as it dipped in and out of her wet sex. He seemed to know exactly when to lick and when to suck in order to send her libido soaring.

In retaliation, she settled in to suck on his cock with a vengeance. She was sorely tempted to release his hands just to see how much more effective he could be at pleasuring her without that handicap, but then the feeling of superiority that was a huge part of her arousal would be gone.

Jebediah started to thrust himself up into her mouth in time with her sucking, and his tongue seemed to be following the same timing. Jackie could feel herself starting to orgasm, and she pulled her head up, thrusting her pussy hard against Jebediah’s face as a wave of indescribable pleasure surged over her.

She let out an inarticulate scream, her body going rigid as her spasms of pleasure ripped through her sex. Her face buried in his groin, she gasped for air, her arms wrapped around his legs as she clutched his muscular thighs. She stayed that way for what felt like an eternity, until she finally felt she could move.

She opened her eyes to find herself staring directly at Jebediah’s cock, still rock-hard and erect. Well, she could certainly do something about that.

Pushing herself up to her hands and knees she clambered around to face the man who’d managed to give her the best orgasm of her life without even using his cock. She wasn’t sure she’d be able to handle the fallout if he were actually inside her. But, she’d always been a tough gal. She’d give it a try.

After all, someone had to punish the naughty boy!

Chapter Three

It took all of Jeb’s self-control not to rip the ropes right off those damn bed posts and fuck Jackie until she begged for mercy. They weren’t nearly strong enough to keep a guy like him captive, but he didn’t want to scare Jackie. Not only did she have the most luscious body he’d seen in ages, there was something about her that touched him in a way no other women ever had.

It might be the hint of shyness in her eyes, or the way she seemed to be so incredibly innocent while at the same time tying him up and having her way with him. He’d never admit it out loud, but this was the hottest sex he’d had since high school, and he hadn’t exactly been a monk.

Even the rifle-toting woman sitting watching them as if this were some kind of kinky show didn’t diminish the enjoyment. Or the other gal, sipping on her glass of wine while she watched Jackie do whatever the heck it was she planned to do. Hell, it wasn’t like he was shy or anything but oddly enough he felt no urge to suggest she join in the fun. He had a feeling Jackie was not a sharing kind of girl, and he didn’t want to do anything to upset her.

Reaching over, Jackie picked up a little foil-wrapped package from the night table and ripped it open.

Jebediah let out a disbelieving snort. You’re kidding, right? You actually planned this well enough to keep a stock of condoms on hand?

Nonsense. We always have a few of those in the bedrooms around the ranch. Stephanie spoke up from the far side of the room. A girl can’t count on a guy to remember protection, and we all know what happens when you get caught unprepared.

Kids.

STDs.

Frustration.

The three women spoke in unison, and then laughed as if it were some kind of inside joke. Hell, maybe it was.

His tormentor looked a little unsure of herself, as she rose to her knees and positioned herself right over his shaft. He could feel the heat from her sex radiating downward, and the view looking up at her was making him painfully hard.

She locked her gaze on his eyes and slowly, inch by incredibly tight inch, impaled herself on him. Then, just as slowly, she rose back up to her knees.

Jeb felt like he’d died and gone to heaven. Or maybe hell. He wasn’t sure which. He wanted to grab her by the hips and thrust into her long and hard, over and over, until he exploded. Only he couldn’t do that, with his hands fastened to the bed posts, so he did the next best thing, rocking his hips in a rhythm to match her own.

Jackie moved in time to his thrusts, sweeping the two of them up in the age-old dance of give and take. He thrust harder and faster, and Jackie moved to keep pace. For timeless minutes the two of them thrust and panted in unison.

Harder. Faster. The incredibly erotic feel of being out of control sent flames of lust curling through his groin. Sex had never felt so intense before.

As incredible as the connection felt, they were both too keyed up to make the sensations last. Jeb felt his balls draw up tight. He let out a guttural yell as the orgasm of a lifetime slammed over him, driving all sane, politically correct phrases from his mind.

Damn, you’re incredible, woman! The ropes holding him to the bed snapped as easily as weak thread, and he wrapped his arms around Jackie, drawing her down to snuggle against his chest. You can take advantage of me any time your amazingly sexy little heart desires.

He took the muffled sound coming from her lips as agreement. Closing his eyes, he enjoyed the unfamiliar feeling of total bliss as ripples of aftershocks rolled through him.

Ummmmmmm… I think we may have a problem.

Jackie slowly pried her eyes open. Jebediah’s big male body felt warm and inviting wrapped around her. The word problem was an unwelcome intrusion into her current satisfied state.

She looked over at her friends and business partners. She’d almost forgotten they were in the room. The frown on Caroline’s face did not inspire confidence, nor did the tapping of Stephanie’s fingers on her thighs.

Jackie let out a loud sigh and sat up to reach for her clothing. Jebediah loosened his hold on her slowly, as if he too were reluctant to face reality. So what’s the problem?

Well. Caroline flipped her laptop around so it faced the pair on the bed. I got tired of watching you and your boy toy there, so I Googled James Smithers to see what other horrendous things he’s been up to lately besides cheating us out of our ranch.

Jackie pulled her sweater over her head. Did she really want to hear what her friend had discovered? The man was amazing in bed, and had obviously been humoring them. It had taken zero effort on his part to rid himself of the restraining ropes when he decided he wanted to be free.

She frowned, turning her head to face him. "If you could break those ropes that easily,
