The daughter in question streaked across the road, running away with a compound bow in one hand, and a quiver of arrows in the other.

“Janie!” James yelled from the front porch. “Open your damn eyes!”

James waved at Drew, his eyes going to the man in the backseat then back to Drew before nodding and heading inside.

A beautiful woman with wavy brown hair barreled into him, throwing herself into his arms.

James picked her up and twirled her around, then put her unclothed body up against the glass wall of the house.

“How many times do you think I’ll see bare female asses that I don’t have a shot at having tonight?” Raphael teased.

My face blushed fifty shades of red.

“Did you really have to bring that up, man?” Drew asked as he started forward once again.

He made his way to the big building I’d seen from the front gate. The closer we got, the more I decided that it resembled a modern day castle.

“Nice place,” I murmured, looking up at the huge building. “The only thing missing is the moat.”

“That’s what the electric fence up there is for,” Drew murmured as he got out.

I followed suit, but Raphael was last out because he got the little girl out.

“Where’s the door?” I asked curiously.

Drew pointed to a door that looked like it was about four feet off the ground.

Okay, maybe it was only two, but it was still awkward as hell.

How do you even open a door like that?

I didn’t figure it out, either.

A man with graying brown hair opened the door with its magical handle and stared down at all of us.

“Come in,” the man ordered.

His voice was deep and almost as sexy as Drew’s. The wedding ring on his finger, though, kept me from admiring him much more than that, however.

Mainly because his finger was swollen like a sausage.

“What happened to your hand?” I couldn’t help but ask as I was lifted up by Drew and carried like a sack of potatoes until I breached the doorway.

The man’s wary eyes turned to me.

“Don’t worry, I went to the hospital,” he ignored my question.

“Funny,” Drew said as he placed me on my feet again. “I would’ve thought if you were there to actually see a doctor, they would’ve cut your ring off your finger, Sam.”

I agreed, but chose not to voice my opinion out loud.

The man looked freakin’ scary.

His muscles bulged as he led the way down a narrow hallway.

“I didn’t say I was visiting a doctor. I had just happened to be at a hospital for some other matter I had to attend to,” Sam muttered darkly.

For some reason, I didn’t think the visit was friendly.
