Annabelle said, wrapping her arm around Randi’s waist.
    Yeah, ibuprofen and water, that was a much better solution than giving her what he wanted to give her before bed. And in bed. And in the middle of the night. But part of him couldn’t shake the feeling that if what she most needed was ibuprofen, then he wanted to be the one providing that too.
    “Thanks,” he said, stepping back.
    Annabelle and Randi turned toward the front of the barn and Jackson moved to follow, but he paused and looked at Nolan.
    “Everything okay with the two of you?”
    Nolan gave a humorless laugh. “Of course.” Then he said the main thing that mattered at that moment. “There’s not a two of us anyway.”
    Jackson didn’t reply to that, but he clapped Nolan on the shoulder and then followed the girls out to where the cars were parked all over the grass in front of the barn.
    “You look sad.”
    He looked down. Lacey. With Annabelle and Jackson taking Randi home, she was alone again until Carter got there.
    “Dance with me,” he said. Dancing with a beautiful woman was always a good idea. Even if she wasn’t his beautiful woman.
    As he took Lacey into his arms, his gaze went to the barn door where Randi had disappeared. It was the stupidest thing to ever cross his mind but his woman made him think of Randi, and the idea of her doing body shots with anyone else, ever, made him want to kill someone.
    Him. A guy who had never even punched another guy. But yeah, the idea of someone else’s mouth on her body made him see red.
    “Hey, ow.”
    He looked down and realized he’d been squeezing Lacey’s hand tightly.
    “Jesus, sorry.” He let go and shoved a hand through his hair.
    “It’s okay,” she said. “You seem riled up.”
    Just then something caught his eye at the front of the barn. Carter was finally here. And he looked more riled up than Nolan felt.
    Nolan pulled Lacey back into his arms, unable to fight the temptation to stir the pot.
    He needed something to take his mind off of Randi.
    “We need to talk,” Carter told Lacey as he approached.
    And the look on Carter’s face made Nolan positive that he’d be nice and distracted from Randi for the foreseeable hours.
    Thank God.

Chapter One
    “ O h , Nolan’s here!” Annabelle waved at someone behind Randi.
    Randi’s heart thudded and she hunkered down over her margarita, taking a long pull on the straw.
    Dammit.
    It had been four months since she’d seen Nolan. And kissed him. And basically asked him to take her to bed.
    And been turned down.
    She’d known the sabbatical wouldn’t last. Nolan came to Quinn on a fairly regular basis from his big-shot city life in San Antonio. But she’d loved every Nolan-free/ humiliation-free weekend since Coach’s party.
    “Oh, he’s coming over,” Annabelle said with a grin.
    Of course he was.
    Randi sucked harder on her straw.
    “Hey, Annabelle.”
    His voice sounded deeper. Which was completely stupid. But there was something about knowing what a great kisser he was that made her attribute other things to him that she found hot. Deep voices, big hands, nice asses. Those kinds of things.
    “Hi, Nolan,” Annabelle said. “You back for the weekend?”
    “I’m back for a week or so, actually,” he said. “Doing some follow-up stuff for the book.”
    A week. Randi bit back a groan. She was going to have to avoid him or act normal around him—and not like she was dying of embarrassment over how she’d thrown herself at him—for a week? That was going to be tough. Randi didn’t get embarrassed. Until she was around Nolan Winters.
    The stupid party hadn’t been the first time. It seemed every time they tried to have a one-on-one conversation, she ended up feeling like an uneducated, silly, have-to-work-hard-for-a-C student. Because that’s always what she had been. But Nolan was the only one that made her feel that way. It wasn’t his fault. He didn’t do it on purpose. But she just wasn’t able to hold her own
