.Your reputation precedes you, even in Oklahoma.She’s heard about you and detests everything you represent,” Luke said bluntly.“Whatever.” Blade wasn’t the least bit bothered by Luke’s warning.She wouldn’t be the first woman who detested him, and he figured she wouldn’t be the last.Besides, women might complain about him being a player, but that had never stopped them from jumping into his bed.Admittedly, he had picked up on the negative vibes from Samari at Luke and Mac’s wedding, and had found it rather amusing—challenging in a way.It didn’t bother him in the least that Sam was difficult, because the one thing he liked when it came to women was a challenge.He took it all in stride and figured her resistance would make the victory that much sweeter.He was confident that he would be getting what he wanted.And he had decided the day of Luke’s wedding that he wanted Sam.Clarification, he wanted Sam in his bed.There was a difference.Luke’s phone rang.Blade watched as his cousin stood to pull his cell phone out of his jeans pocket, sliding it open as he sat back down.“Yes, sweetheart.”A few moments later Luke nodded.“All right, we’re at the restaurant waiting,” he said.“No problem.I love you, too.”Luke put his phone back in his pocket and glanced at Blade.“That was Mac.”“Like I thought it was anyone else,” Blade said, chuckling.“They got slightly detained but are on their way now.”He nodded and detected that Luke was just as eager to see Mac as Blade was to see Sam.“Marriage certainly agrees with you, Luke,” he said after a while.Luke grinned at him.“Hmm, maybe you ought to try it.”A scowl quickly appeared on Blade’s face.“And maybe you ought to keep your opinions to yourself.”Luke couldn’t help but laugh.“Not that I think you’d really care, but Mac mentioned Peyton couldn’t make it.She’d made other plans.”Blade took another sip of water.It wasn’t that he didn’t care, especially since Peyton Mahoney was a good-looking woman in her own right, but he’d set his sights on Sam.There had been something about Samari Di Meglio that got to him, just below the gut.“So how long will you be in town?”Blade glanced over at his cousin.He, Luke and his brother Slade were thick as thieves—always had been, always would be.The only kicker was now Luke and Slade were married and he was still single, and that was taking some getting used to.“Not sure yet,” he replied, glancing at his watch once again.“I’m meeting with J.W.Mosley tomorrow.Slade and I are glad we won the bid for the contract.I understand we had some pretty stiff competition.”Luke nodded.Blade’s construction company, which he jointly owned with his fraternal twin, Slade, had been hired to do extensive renovations to Luke and Mac’s home, as well as build the Luke Madaris Rodeo School.And now the company would also be building the new thirty-four-story Mosley Building in downtown Oklahoma City.Over the past few years, the Madaris Construction Company had earned a reputation as one of the best firms in the country.With Blade as construction engineer and Slade as master architect, their designs were renowned worldwide.“You’re sure they’re on their way?”Luke glanced at Blade.He recognized the look on his face, since he’d seen it on several occasions over the years.It was Blade’s predatory look.Luke swore silently to himself and decided it wasn’t any of his business, since he’d given his cousin fair warning.Samari Di Meglio was not your typical Blade Madaris kind of woman.Sam despised players in the worst way, and Blade was definitely a player—of the card-carrying variety.Hell, he even had membership in the notorious Gentlemen’s Club, and everyone in Houston knew that its members were far from being gentlemen.“Yes, they’re on their way,” Luke said, taking a sip of water after deciding to mind to his own business.Blade was a grown man and Sam was a smart, intelligent woman
