She was the oddball with the only green eyes in the family.
“I know exactly what he did to you.”
The anger that hadn’t yet begun to cool inside her erupted. “Humiliated me!”
Her sister sank to the side of the bed. “Men like Hunter—like Colton—only know one thing—how to protect. You triggered that response in Hunter—”
“I triggered it?” Her voice rose in outrage. “So I was asking for it? What about the things he triggered in me when he threw me over his shoulder and…and…”
She broke off as lurid sensations slithered through her body. Memories of how his big, hard body felt beneath her as he carried her to the truck.
And his hand leaving a white-hot imprint on her buttocks.
The spot burned enough that she could trace the exact outline of his palm and fingers.
She slung her arm over her eyes to hide her face from Meadow, who knew her so well.
“He spanked you.” Meadow’s voice was pitched low.
“Yes!” Her own was choked.
“I know all about that.”
She sat up so fast that Meadow jumped. She gaped at her. “You know all about what? Did Colton—”
“Yes. Been there. Done that. Would do it again.” She bit down on her bottom lip, but the smile spread across her beautiful features regardless of her attempt to hide it.
Ivy shook her head. “I can’t believe you!”
“Oh, c’mon. Admit it—you really wanted Hunter after that.”
A spike of desire shot directly to her core, the same one that had been striking over and over again like lightning targeting the same point until her entire body felt like it quivered with electricity.
She groaned. “Shut up. He’s terrible. I wouldn’t even be nice to him if not for Forest.”
She eyed her sister warily. Part of her really wanted to know what went down between her and Colton. But if she learned anything in the past months on her own, it was to mind her own business. Getting nosy could mean trouble she wasn’t ready to handle.
Like that time in Madrid when—
Well, she didn’t want to think about what almost happened to her, if she hadn’t been so quick and smart.
Meadow grabbed a pillow and propped it against the headboard to lean against. Then she picked up a throw pillow and drew it onto her lap, settling in to have one of their old talks.
Ivy did the same, sitting beside her on the big bed. “What happened with Colton?”
“We didn’t exactly hit it off at first.”
She studied her sister, but her expression gave nothing away. She’d just have to be patient and wait for the story.
Meadow didn’t make her wait long. “I didn’t take things seriously like I should have. I went to Badlands and got myself into a little trouble. Colton…impressed upon me…how much respect I should have for myself. He made me think about what I was giving up.”
“Which was?”
“My body…my virginity.”
Ivy’s eyes went round. “Are you telling me that you never…before Colton?”
She shook her head. “I was saving myself. When I realized I was saving myself for him all along, everything fell into place.”
