Handsome Hotshot (Handsome Devils Book 5) Read online

  Janet placed one hand on Chase’s arm and licked her lips. “Well, you hurry up, else I might decide to go after Nathan or Trent instead. You’re not the only handsome fella in your family.”

  Chase chuckled as he faced forward in his chair once again. “I sure am being threatened with my brothers tonight. But I’d like to point out that neither of them stopped by to lend their support, and I’m sitting here like an angel.”

  Leigh snorted. “Angel? You? Give me a break. You could make the devil himself blush, Chase Barrett.”

  Chase’s grin was pure male satisfaction. “I do my best.”

  As Megan knew only too well. She’d watched him beguile a large percentage of the females in this part of Texas. Why couldn’t he throw a little of that wickedness her way? Just once, she’d like to show him how combustible they could be together.

  But even though she’d been back in Honey for almost a year, the man still treated her like a teenager. She’d just celebrated her twenty-ninth birthday. She wasn’t a sheltered virgin with fairy-tale dreams of romance. She was a flesh and blood woman who knew what she wanted out of life.

  She wanted Chase.

  After a great deal of commotion getting the microphone to the right level, the mayor finally started the meeting. Within a few minutes, it was time for her presentation. Megan stood, adjusting her glasses.

  “Remember, picture Chase naked if you get nervous,” Leigh whispered but not very softly.

  Megan was in the process of scooting past Chase, who had stood to let her by. She froze, standing directly in front of the man who consumed her dreams and starred in her fantasies.

  He grinned.

  “You know, I think I just may do that,” Megan said. “And if he gets nervous, he can picture me naked, too.”
