Tell Freddy what the rat bastard did.” She chuckled but it sounded more like a sob. “He told me he loved me.” “I will hunt down the bastard and make him cry…Wait, what?” “He said he loved me and I freaked. I mean, I didn’t think he meant anything because we had just had sex so I freaked and I told him he didn’t know me. Then he said horrible things about me, like I like flowers.

She had this hardened core that made her seem bigger than life, when she was just one woman. It was one of the things that he loved about her. And he liked that thinking that no longer scared him. The one thing that did scare him was her not being in his life. Less than two months and she had become the most important thing in life to him.

There was so much he wanted to say. She was more than the woman at work or the daughter and sister of Marines. It had only been a month since they met but he knew as sure as he knew he was a Santini that this was the woman for him. He couldn’t imagine going a day without talking to her. It was a first for him.

He was in love with her. Leo loved just about everything about her, from the sprinkle of freckles that danced over the bridge of her nose to that smart mouth of hers. Damn. He was pretty sure that she would be pissed when she found out.

She slid her hands to the back of his head and tried to pull him down for another kiss. “Uh, Maryanne, your brother.” Her eyes opened slightly. “What?” Oh, he wanted her. Wanted her like he wanted to breathe, but with her brother standing there looking ready to lob off various appendages, he was pretty sure that it would be a no go tonight.

Leo grabbed her by the wrist pulling her to him then crowded her up against the door. He slammed his mouth down on hers. She couldn't seem to do anything but to kiss him back. The primal instinct to connect took over. In that one instant she went from sort of frustrated to wanting to tear off his clothes. “Just so you know which Santini is really interested.

She had too many military men in her life. Her father was a marine, her brothers were all marines, and she worked daily with military men. She knew the only thing that would come out of any kind of attraction was heartbreak. It wasn’t like he was going to ask her out. From his reaction to her, he probably would have some kind of background check done on her.
