her two Neanderthal, knuckle-dragging brothers. If this didn’t just about frost it, she didn’t know what ever would.
    Alex watched as Jenna waged an internal battle, and he wondered to himself if he’d ever seen her this angry. So far she had followed Colt’s predictions down to the last curses. And she’d played right into their hands. Now that she was solidly pissed about their edict, they would present their counteroffer, which, even though it was going to sound like a compromise, was actually their original plan. Smiling to himself, he looked at his brother and said, “Well, clearly we’ve gone over the line by trying to look after sister dearest’s best interests. Perhaps we need to rethink this a bit. Any ideas for an alternate plan? Zach? Colt? At this point, I’m open to suggestions.”
    Zach looked up in to space trying to look as though he was really giving Alex’s words careful consideration. Alex thought at that moment, his brother might have missed his calling, looked like Zach would have made a fortune in Hollywood as an actor. “Well, I don’t know. Any ideas, Colt? You seem to have reached Jenna when we weren’t doing such a bang-up job.” Alex laughed to himself, Zach had just set the trap, all Colt had to do was bait it and they’d sit back and wait for Jenna to bite.
    “Well, if it is R & R she needs, I’m headed to the cabin this week. I’d be happy to take her along and see to it that she engaged in some stress-reduction activities.” Alex knew Colt was patting himself on the back for the double meaning of his words. Damn, this was almost too easy.
    “What? I can’t spend a week with you in some flippin’ mountain cabin! Christ, you don’t even like me. Why would you want to spend the week with me?” Colt knew Jenna was giving herself a mental head slap. She would know she was giving the enemy too much information. She was nobody’s fool and had lived with two Dominant brothers her entire life.
    Colt turned his head slowly so his face was just inches in front of hers and fairly growled. “What makes you think I don’t like you, Jenna?”
    “Um, well, you are always picking on me about everything, and then after the wedding, well, that didn’t go so good for either of us, so naturally I just thought you’d want to stay as far from me as possible, ya know?” Jenna kept looking at him, but she wasn’t looking him directly in the eye anymore. Interesting tell, sweet cheeks, hope you don’t play poker.
    “It seems you have been misinformed, Jenna. I do like you, maybe more than I should. But, I’m not sure you are capable of following directives for a week though, so perhaps you’d like to rethink that lounging-by-the-pool-for-a-few-months plan your brothers mentioned earlier.” Bait and challenge laid out, now to wait her out. Colt knew they were gambling, but so far, she’d only surprised him twice, the first time was the intensity of her response to her brothers’ questions. And then again when she’d said she didn’t think he liked her, damn, if she only knew how wrong she was.
    Zach leaned forward to draw Jenna’s attention before asking, “What’s it going to be, Jenna? We’ll let the questions about Ted Scott go if you can make your case to Colt that Scott had nothing to do with the changes we all noted in you.” He paused for several beats to let his words work through her anger before continuing. “You know exactly what Colt is offering. You spend the week with Colt, prove to him that his suggestion that you are a sexual submissive isn’t what caused you to run from your own home in the middle of the night like a scared rabbit after our wedding. More importantly, prove it to yourself. Spend a week exploring the obvious attraction between you both. If you come back at the end of the week and want to return to your old life, we’ll leave you to it.” Zach knew he stood a better chance of throwing down the challenge than Alex did. He’d always been her
