Carla
Sitting out back at the McKenzie ranch, where it all started nearly nine months ago, who would have thought I’d be engaged to marry the delicious guy I’d been unable to look away from. The same guy who’d given me countless sleepless nights since then, and I don’t just mean because I was stressing out about who he was with or what he was up to, if you get my meaning.
The guy in question is standing outside the marquee holding the alcohol
while chatting to Ruben, who doesn’t seem to be taking any notice with his gaze totally fixed on Rosie. He is so obvious.
Sebastian
, finally giving up starts heading in my direction leaving his brother to chase after Rosie who is on her way to the barn. It wouldn’t surprise me if she weren’t sneaking off for a five-minute break from Ruben’s orders.
Today has
been beautiful with the baptism of Michael Elias Jr. and Charlotte Lucy McKenzie. The first grandchildren for Pippa and Elias, who have been showing the twins off like proud parents. The babies are three months old today and sure have grown, not to mention the fact that they have all four of their uncles wrapped around their little fingers.
“Hey
sexy lady.” Sebastian saunters closer wearing his panty-dropping smile, the one he used on me the first time we met.
I pretend not to be affected,
and reply, “Sebastian, I’m a sure thing. You don’t need to practice your pick up lines on me.”
Shit.
Now he looks upset. “I’m only joking. You can use any line you want on me and I promise to drop my panties by the end of the evening.”
His grin can’t get any wider. “Now babe. That’s the kind of answer I like to hear.”
Wrapping my arm around him, I reach up and first kiss his ear before whispering, “If I’m wearing any that is.”
S
ebastian
“If you’re wearing any…
fuck
babe. Have you got any idea what those naughty words do to me?” I turn my body more into hers, letting her feel my erection, which happens the minute she opens her mouth.
“You need to behave here, because I’m not sneaking off for a quickie at your parents
’ place.” She rubs against me a couple of times before pulling me down on to the wicker sofa my parents have out here.
Once seated she leans back, placing her legs across my lap. “Coverage,” she laughs, just as Ramon and Lucien join us.
“He been keeping you awake all night?” Lucien smirks.
“Maybe,” she
chuckles. “What about you two?”
Ramon grins, but Lucien starts to look reserved
.
“What about us two?
” Lucien asks, but not before I catch him watching Sabrina chatting rather animatedly to Ruben with their hands on each other’s arms, which puts a frown on Lucien’s face.
“A
body to keep you warm at night.”
My
hands are working magic on her poor feet, but if she purrs any louder we’re going to start getting some strange looks. I catch Ramon watching with a grin on his face.
“So Ramon. Warm body
in your bed?” she persists.
Before he can answer we hear raised voices at the side of the barn
, so Carla sits up and follows our gaze just in time to see Ruben grab Rosie as she’s walking away from him, and spin her round before kissing her, and I mean, kissing her. She doesn’t seem to be complaining if the hands in Rubens hair are anything to go by. Unfortunately the show is over too soon with them both letting go of each other at the same time. Rosie runs off towards the cars while Ruben stands there watching her go. I’m praying he follows her, but he doesn’t.
Stubborn fucker!
“I think you w
ere right about Ruben being next. That’s been a hell of a long time in coming,” Carla observes.
“
Hmm, but I’m more interested right now with the catalog you were looking through with Lily.” All I’d caught when Lily quickly whipped it out of Carla’s hands was a scantily clad woman in a scrap of lace.
“What about it?” she asks, with a blush working its way up her neck.
Oh this is going to be good.
“It was a Victoria S
ecrets catalog, if you must know. I can’t exactly go away on my honeymoon with old stuff. My groom is going to be expecting me to be wearing sexy pieces of material that barely covers the goods.”
“Fuck, I’m outta here.”
“Chicken,” I shout to Ramon’s retreating back before turning my attention back to my girl. “You’re killing me. You know that?”
Sitting up, she straddles me, wrapping her arms around my neck
and wiggles around on my cock before meeting my eyes.
“You do the same to me.”
Brushing her hair from her forehead, I kiss her nose. I kiss her cheeks before taking her lips. She tastes of chocolate and coffee.
“I think you better climb off me before we give the baptism guests a bit more than they bargained for.”
She grinds against me. “Babe,” I whisper, which is getting difficult. All I want to do is drag her off somewhere private so I can get under the long, and I mean long, dress she has on.
“Besides, just think in one month
, I’ll be Mrs. Carla McKenzie, so we’ll be legal. Actually, it has a rather nice ring to it.”
“
Hmm. Being legal you mean or Mrs. SEBASTIAN McKenzie?”
Rolling her eyes, she climbs off me,
allowing me to stand and wrap her in my arms. “I love you, soon to be wife.”
She kisses me
. “I love you too, soon to be husband.”

McKenzie Brothers #3
Subject to change (Baptism)
Ruben
All I wanted today was to enjoy the day, but for some reason ‘little Miss. Know-it-all’ is driving me crazy. Let me rephrase that. She’s driving me more crazy than usual, and I damn well blame Michael. It was, of course, Lily’s idea for the waitresses to wear pink uniforms and the waiters, pale blue shirts, but I sure as hell wasn’t going to blame my gorgeous sister-in-law, I blame my brother, much easier target. And I’ll be damned, but Rosie looks hot as fucking hell in pink with her dark hair and curvy body.
In fact
, she’s gradually been driving me crazy since Simon, my club manager at Kenza hired her about nine months ago, just before Michael and Lily’s wedding.
She has a sassy mouth and doesn’t give a damn who she gives out to
, which has gotten her into trouble a few times at Kenza. Keith, head of security, has had to intervene.
And now, not five minutes ago from me asking her to help Jayne refill the empty plat
ters, she’s disappearing towards the barn.
Fuck a brick!
Turning to go after her, I collide with Lily’s friend, Sabrina. “Sorry babe. Are you okay?” I reach out to steady her.
“I’m fine.” She laughs. “I’m sorry too. I wasn’t looking where I was going.”
“I don’t mind. It’s not every day I get a beautiful woman falling into my arms.”
And she is beautiful, which my brother Lucien has noticed. I hope he sees us right now, and gets jealous because he needs a good kick up the ass or something to go after her. He’s been looking at her often enough.
If you want my opinion, he’s an idiot and needs to get over his hang-up from the accident before someone else snaps her up.
I turn b
ack to the woman in front of me who rolls her eyes, which makes me roar with laughter, setting her off.
“I’ll see you later…
Romeo.”
I grin as I watch her retreat before turning back to go and find Rosie.
Rosie
He’s an ass. Nine months of ‘Rosie do this’ or ‘Rosie do that’. Argh! Yes, he’s the big boss and I’m the ‘little slave’, but fuck
, he really has been on my case since I started working at the Club.
I love
my job at Kenza. Well most days, especially when Ruben stays out of the way, but recently every time I turn around he’s there, glaring at me. He probably wishes he had an excuse to fire me, but as of yet, I’ve managed to keep my temper in check and done what he asks. But in honesty, I’m not sure how much longer I can work for him. Every horrid comment from him causes a sharp pain in my chest and recently I’ve even arrived home with tears in my eyes. As soon as the doors close behind me, I give in to them and collapse in a sobbing heap.
Why does he affect this much? Well, you see
, over the past nine months I’ve gradually fallen in love with him and it hurts so damn much because it is clear that he can’t stand me.
He’s handsome in a rough sort of way
with his dark hair falling over his eyes all the time. He ended up with a crooked nose because of his love of boxing and then you have his muscular body. All solid.
I’ve seen him once without his shirt when he’d been working out back at the club, and I’d drooled. Oh, yes he reminded me of these
tattooed male models all over Facebook, with one hell of a ‘V’ leading into his jeans, which had some sort of tattoo inked into his skin down there, disappearing into his jeans and it was just begging to be licked. He’d caught me drooling, of course, and had spent the remainder of the evening being an ass.
“Ugh.” Turning to head back before I’m missed, I freeze seeing the object of my bad mood
standing behind me. How long he’s been standing there is any one’s guess.
“What do you want?”
His eyes narrow. “I’m your boss, Rosie. Or have you forgotten?”
“How could I forget with the constant stream of ord
ers that come out of your mouth?” I feel like stamping my foot, which I refrain from, but I stand with my hands on my hips.
“Any more sass from you and you can find a new job because I
’ve had enough,” he growls at me, moving closer.
My heart thumps in my chest. Does he want to get rid of me? Does he really hate me?
I swallow the lump in my throat, but I’m afraid of opening my mouth because my tears are so close to the surface. Not only is the man I’ve fallen for being hateful, but also there were things going on at his club that I don’t think he knows anything about, which all goes back to Simon and the stress of it all is finally getting to me.
“Rosie–
”
Taking a deep breath for courage, I answer, “I’ve never been fired before,”
I swallow a few times, “so, I…I quit.”
Before he can reply, I turn and take a few steps towards where the cars are parked, but I don’t get very far before he grabs hold of my arms and spins me to face him.
“You. Are. Not. Quitting.”
A tear slips from my eyes, which he follows as it slides
down my cheek to my mouth.
“Rosie,
” he groans.
His lips meet mine. His tongue pushes for access to my mouth, which I give.
He tastes of coffee and mints. I break from his hold on my arms and slide my hands into his hair, holding him to me as I start to take a more active role in this unexpected kiss, which has my toes curling and my pussy wet and throbbing.
Ruben takes hold of my hips, pulling me in flush against him
so I come into contact with his erection. When it suddenly hits me what I’m doing. Making out with the boss!
I break free. “No. We can’t.” Turning, I flee to the car park with tears running down my face, not having a clue about what I’m going to do now. Can I really stay at Kenza?
Shit!
I just told him I quit.

Rose written as Alison Chaffin Higson
I was born in Bolton, Lancashire within the United Kingdom, where I lived, and worked at the University of Bolton, until I moved to Ireland with my husband, four kids and pack of animals.
We are now settled in a lovely town, in County Cavan. The kids love their schools, once they get there that is.
My eldest daughter, is on the Irish Junior Archery Team, and spends her time training. At least she does when her dad can get her off her ipad, reading or listening to music.
I have recently joined the book review blog,
Book Addict Mumma
and made a wonderful new friend in Kristy Louise Garbutt, my new boss!
My kindle is loaded with too many books to mention, as I absolutely love to read when I have the chance.
My all time high would be to stand at the foot of Mount Everest in the Himalayas.
