. We re better than them.We re smarter.We make better life choices.Hell, I got more in my moneymarket account than most of the people in this town could ever dream of.I pay more in taxes than theyprobably make in a year.I m going to retire in another two years just off my investments. Everyone talks about everyone.Not just here, but everywhere.It s human nature. Katie gaveup trying to pull her arm free and just gave him a look of pity. Stop worrying about what they thinkand just live your life.This obsession with being better is making you miserable.It was making memiserable too, until I realized I didn t have to play along if I didn t want to. You re not exactly a ten, Katie. Grayson laughed cruelly, reminding Katie why she left tobegin with. No one is going to love you for your mind like I do, not in this town.I m your bestoption, and I don t understand why you did this to us. I think she s a ten, a man called from behind them.Goose bumps danced over Katie s skin, and she wasn t sure why until she craned her neck tolook toward the direction of the low, male voice.Her body must have recognized what her mindhadn t caught up with, because walking over to them was Marcos Rivera.He was wearing sunglassesand a baseball hat, but it was undeniably him.She could see the snake on his arm from there.He looked larger than life in the late-afternoon sun with those impossibly broad shoulders andlarge, bunched biceps covered in tribal tattoos.She couldn t help but notice that every inch of himseemed wound tight and ready to jump like a tiger stalking prey.She blinked, understanding for thefirst time all those warnings Jules had been leveling at her in regards to Marcos.This wasn t the kind, handsome angel from the crash site.This Marcos looked deadly.He took off his sunglasses when he stopped in front of them.His light gaze rested on the steelygrasp Grayson still had on her arm. This is the part where you let her go. Excuse me? Grayson huffed in that annoying superior voice of his that had alwaysembarrassed Katie when he used it in public, usually toward someone parking their car or waiting onthem at a restaurant. This is my wife and Ex-wife, Katie corrected before Grayson could finish.She was still staring at Marcos inshock, unable to believe he was really standing there in front of her. What are you doing here? Marcos broke the dangerous staring contest he was having with Grayson.He let his gaze runover her hotly for one long moment, making more goose bumps dance over her arms.A small bit ofthe tension eased out of his powerful frame, and the look in his beautiful eyes became warm just likeshe remembered. I got your messages. My messa Katie cheeks heated when she realized what he was talking about, and her voicewas a squeak of acknowledgment. Oh. There was a quiet moment between them, one charged enough that Katie was actually breathlessto be in his presence again after so long.Strangely enough, she could feel it off Marcos too.That electric frisson of need so overwhelming it actually showed on his face and translated into somethingtangible enough that even someone as romantically challenged as Katie could sense it.As ifremembering they weren t alone, Marcos cleared his throat and turned back to Grayson, his eyesnarrowed in warning once more. Yeah, I m gonna have to insist you get your hands off her. He eyed Grayson s hold on her armpointedly. Now. I don t know who you think you are Grayson started, but he let go of Katie as requested andtook a protective step back from Marcos. He s a friend, Katie answered, her cheeks still burning in embarrassment and something muchmore carnal. We met through Jules Wellings. It wasn t a complete lie. Oh, fantastic, Grayson spat, because Jules wasn t exactly his favorite person after gettingKatie a more than fair settlement in the divorce and severely depleting those money market accountshe was so proud of. This is just the sort of person she would introduce you to.She s married into afamily of criminals and We have to go now. Katie was so thrilled to see Marcos, even with the craigslist fiasco, thatshe grabbed Marcos s hand before she could think better of it.His palm was just as rough andcalloused as it had been the night of the accident.She looked up at him with a smile. Late lunch.Early dinner? Sure. Marcos grinned back, before his gaze darted to Grayson once more in warning Later,cabrón. The dismissal was obvious, and it made it clear that Marcos wasn t used to men arguing withhim.He almost gave the impression that he was doing Grayson a favor by dismissing him. You can t just Grayson sputtered in disbelief, his eyes wide as he gave Katie a look. Your girlfriend is waiting, Katie said sarcastically as she pointed over to Ashley, who wasstanding by her car now and not so subtly watching the exchange. But you barely know this guy and We re taking separate cars, Katie offered before Grayson made a scene with some ridiculousexcuse to protect her, even if his apprehension around Marcos was palpable and more than a littlethrilling. Bye, Grayson. I m texting you later, Grayson warned as he looked at Marcos with distrust.Katie shrugged with indifference. If that makes you feel better. I m over there. Marcos pointed to his white truck as he pulled her away before any morecould be said. Follow you? Sounds great. Katie didn t want to let him go, so she decided to walk him to his pickup even ifthey had an audience
