“Oh, thanks.” She was strangely touched by the sweet gesture, and she gave him a real smile. “That was really great of you.”

He nodded again, then glanced over at the table. The woman was lying down now in the booth, flat out, and the guys were starting to nod off.

“I’ve got to shift their asses out of here before they can’t function anymore,” Curtis said. “You go get some food, and can you ask Luke to call two taxis? I’ll shove their drunk butts in and send ‘em on their way.”

“The woman too?”

“Yeah. She came in with them – the one guy’s her boyfriend. She’ll be safe.”

“Oh. OK.”

She wandered over to the bar and smiled at Luke. He was a great cook and he doubled as the bartender during the day, and he was genuinely kind and tough as hell. He’d come back from Afghanistan with one hand missing, and in the three years that she’d been working here, she’d never seen him so much as fumble a shot glass or a plate.

“Well, hey, girl.” He grinned at her, all curly dark hair and blue eyes. “I he

  • Killer Curves (Dangerous Curves 3)   Chapter Eighty-eight

    Before she even really knew what was happening, she started moving across the bed to him. Slowly, quietly, watching him the whole time. With every inch she gained, she felt the cold inside of her start to thaw, the darkness surrounding her start to recede. That was when she knew – really knew – that holding herself away from Aidan had been a mistake. She couldn’t rejoin the living without him. She needed him to help her breathe.Gabi was right next to him now, and she ran her fingertip down his cheek, over his chin, up to his lips. She traced their sensual shape, remembering how it had felt to have those lips on her own, on her breasts, between her legs. Those golden eyes opened now, startled and worried, but when she smiled at him, he smiled back.“Morning, darlin’,” he said in that exaggerated drawl that always made her laugh. “What are you doin'?”“Touching you.” She ran her fingers down his throat, gentle on the raised scar from the bullet. “Is that OK?”“Hell, yeah, it’s OK.

    She thought about it, trying to figure out how she felt about what Aidan was saying. God knows, she wanted to climb back into their bed, she wanted to curl up against that amazing body. She wanted him on top of her, inside of her. But he was so big and heavy, and he’d take her breath away, she just knew it.“No touching?” she said with a tremor to her voice.“None.”“OK, then. I’ll try.”He almost sagged to the floor. “You will?”“Yes.”“That’s my brave girl.” He stood up. “Come on then. Let’s go to bed.”She struggled to her feet, followed him into the bedroom. She stood with her arms wrapped around her shaking body, watching him get everything ready. He switched on the bedside lamp on her side, he found some instrumental music on his phone app, put it on loop and replay. Then he climbed into bed and scooted way over to the edge, so far he was almost falling off the bed. The sight of this huge man taking up about a third of a bed, leaving the rest of the space for her, made her smile

    Aidan stood in the bedroom doorway, quietly observing Gabriela. She was on the living room sofa, of course, staring at the TV, as usual. She was surrounded by a dozen blankets and six pillows, and she had another blanket wrapped tightly around her shoulders. Aidan was sure that if he actually managed to pry the blanket away from her grip, she’d be shaking.For the past month, she’d barely left that safe little nest that she’d built for herself. She dozed there during the day, twitching and jerking when the nightmares came, and she sat there all night. All the lights on, the TV on, volume up, bolt upright on the sofa, staring blankly at the screen and seeing nothing. Waiting for the sunrise, so she could finally sink into an uneasy sleep.Aidan had tried everything he could think of to coax her back into their bed and his embrace, and when she’d refused, he’d backed off. He’d hoped that with time, she’d come to him on her own. So night after night, he lay in bed with the door open and

    “You open your fucking mouth, and you use your words, and you talk.” Here came the anger now, and Mirrie welcomed it. Anger was hurt’s twin sister, she knew, but it was still easier to handle Shane’s naked aggression than his naked pain. “I knew that you’d been through something hellish, Mirrie, I knew that better than anyone. I wanted to be there for all of it, and I said so. I said I’d wait until you were ready to confide in me. So why didn’t you?”“I just couldn’t.”“So I get a fucking e-mail instead? Three lines, saying that you need a fresh start, and that you’re leaving Denver, and thanks for everything? Where did you go, anyway?”Mirrie hesitated. “I – I never left.”Mac stared at her, stunned. “You never left.”“No. I’ve been in Denver this whole time.”“And you never made contact?”She shook her head.“I don’t get it.” He ran a large hand over his face, looking weary. “How could you do that to me? After everything we had together?”“Because.” Mirrie’s voice came out raw and t

    The last time that Mac had seen her, her hair had been honey-blonde, she’d been fresh-faced and glowing, and she’d lived in loose dresses. Now, her hair was bright pink, her face was covered in dramatic make-up and piercings, she had a tattoo on her neck, her amazing body was covered in tight garish clothes – but it was her, no fucking doubt. One thing about her hadn’t changed and he zeroed in on it.Mac looked across the room and met Mirrie’s eyes – those perfect violet eyes that he’d dreamt about almost every night for the past four years. Eyes that had bewitched him even before she’d said a word, before he’d even known her name. Eyes that he never thought he’d see again.What the fuck? I thought she’d left Denver…Mirrie was frozen, simply unable to believe that Shane was standing in the same goddamn room that she was. Somewhere deep inside, though, she’d always known that this day would come. More than once, she’d glanced up at the door of the café where she worked and seen a man

    One month laterMac drove up to the Heart Centre, impressed as hell. Naomi had finished the first round of renovations and expansions in what had to be record time, and tonight was the gala to celebrate stage one’s completion.He parked his truck in the first available spot and slammed the door, checking out the fancy cars. It seemed that Naomi’s organization was attracting a decent donor base, and thank God for that. Her program for autistic artists was amazing, and so were her free art workshops for autistic kids and adults. The woman had worked her ass off to make this work, and Mac was thrilled for her.He entered the lobby, walked on through to the huge open-plan area. Normally, it was full of easels and paints and people working, but tonight, it was full of art on display and interested buyers. Mac saw wait staff circulating with trays of wine and beer, he smelled something delicious and guessed that food was also being served. He glanced down at himself, suddenly self-conscious
