“You shouldn’t be here,” Danny warns, his scruff scratching your face. His grip keeps you up on your toes. “What’re you doing here?”
 
PART 6 COMING TOMORROW

#steamyshortstory #shortstory #romancestagram #bountyhunter

You open the door to reveal a dark room, the shades pulled down and the windows limned in twilight. You step inside.
 
The door jerks out of your hand as it slams shut behind you, trapping you in darkness. Hands grab you by your biceps and pull you up against a hard slab of a body.

For Danny to respect you as capable investigator and a worthy member of their trio, you and he have to come to an understanding. Now. No matter how angry Danny is.
 
PART 5 COMING TOMORROW

#steamyshortstory #shortstory #romancestagram #bountyhunter

You button the one remaining button on your suit jacket and pat the twist you’d wrestled your hair back into.
 
Danny and Sean have been your lovers for the last four months. They are your only wish that has ever been granted.
 
But they were also your bounty hunting partners.

When he turns the corner, you open the back door and get out.

“Sit you’re a$$ there until I get back. And I’m only a tenth as angry as Danny. Do not go into that room.”
 
Sean stalks across the parking lot, his suit coat flapping around his long torso. You watch him go in the evening twilight, unable to keep yourself from admiring his ground-eating stride.

PART 3 COMING TOMORROW

Then he shows his teeth. “Do you know what would have done to Danny if that sadist had k!lled you?”
 
You feel gut-punched. Of course, you don’t want to scare your boys. But you were sick and tired of them acting like your abilities didn’t match Danny’s brawn and Sean’s brains.

"Until we busted into his cellar and Danny had to see you tied up on that cross?”
 
 “Danny screamed your name but I didn’t.” Sean’s face crumbles. “I thought you were dead. Do you know what that did to me?”

But you’re insanely pissed at them, too.
 
PART 2 COMING TOMORROW

#steamyshortstory #shortstory #romancestagram #bountyhunter

You were all in your suits—today, you’d planned on just interviewing the perp’s friends and family.
 
Both your men are furious with you. It was like teetering on a tight rope, the only thing beneath you quivering. You need them, you love them, you want them both so much.

You both watch Danny stomp to your room, jam his key into the lock, and then throw the door closed behind him. Sean huffs a deep breath as he glares out the front window. You can see his big chest moving in his suit jacket, watch him try to get his temper under control.

Danny launches himself out of the car the instant he screeches into the motel lot. He slams the door behind him.
 
You wince and make a smart comment from the back seat.
 
“Don’t,” Sean says, cutting you off.

Are you going to let the door swing behind him and never see him again? Or will you give him a chance to soothe what ails you?

He rubs his thumb over the back of your hand and that simple touch sends shivers up your arm. “If I don’t see you again, please know that you’ve got what it takes to kick the a$$ of anyone standing in your way.”

He grabs the empty ice bins and walks through the doors.

"Whatever you want. I said I’d make you feel better."

But you find the words impossible to get out.

PART 9 COMING TOMORROW

“Only thirty minutes before your next meeting?

"Heh…well isn’t that a coincidence?” His broad chest seems to be moving faster. “This bar doesn’t open for another thirty minutes.”

“---”

He leans closer and you can feel his whisper on your skin. “Don’t be shy, sweetheart. Tell me what you need.
