Jules Bennett - The Barrington Brothers - When Opposites Attract... / Single Man Meets Single Mom / Carrying the Lost Heir's Child

Tessa bit her lip, wondering what she should do. Her body told her one thing, her mind told her another.

“Well, I know I’m clean, and I’ve been on birth control for other health reasons.”

He tipped his hips slightly and slid his hands up to cup her breasts.

“You’re not playing fair,” she told him.

“Oh, baby. I’m not playing. I’m taking this very, very seriously.”

He wanted her to take control? Fine.

Tessa sank down on him in one slow, easy glide. She smiled as he groaned. More than likely he thought she was being torturous, but in all honesty she wanted to make sure she wasn’t too sore. But, hey, if he thought that was sexy...

“Tessa,” he all but growled. “Honey, you’re killing me.”

The endearments he tossed about warmed her. She kept telling herself not to read anything into them, but keeping an emotional distance was downright impossible.

Tessa blocked out any negative thoughts, because right now, she intended to show this city slicker just how country girls liked to be in control.

Tessa jerked with a start, wondering what had actually woken her up. Beneath her, spread out on the chaise, Grant groaned and twitched.

Arms and legs tangled, Tessa tried to sit up, but Grant’s hands gripped her shoulders.

“Melanie, stop!” he yelled.

Tessa froze. Melanie? Whoever this woman was, she was causing him nightmares. Please, don’t be a girlfriend. Or worse...a wife.

“Grant.” Tessa tried to break from his hold as she patted the side of his face. “Grant, wake up.”

The storm wasn’t as violent as earlier, but growls of thunder still filled the night. The occasional lightning was the only thing cutting through the darkness of the cabin.

“I’m so sorry,” he cried.

Tessa couldn’t stand the anguish ripping from him. So she did the only thing she could think of: she slapped him, hard.
