."Oh, I'm sure you're no angel, either," Alexis scoffed with an eye roll."Most men aren't," he replied seriously."And cowboys?"Kip grinned."We're the worst… Especially those of us on the rodeo circuit." It was then Alexis noticed the shirt he was wearing actually had emblems across it, signifying he was a member of the PRRA."So, what's your poison?" she asked, reminded of the bull riders she'd taken a spin on before moving to Florida."Bull riding? Roping?""Saddle bronc," he replied with a nod."And?" she asked, carefully gauging whether or not he was an actual competitor or just some groupie that had come to town to watch."And, what?""Are you any good?"Kip's mouth flirted dangerously close to hers, making Alexis silently will him to kiss her.He didn't and she suppressed the urge to pout."Honey, I'm good at a hell of a lot of things.Riding wild things that buck, included." Pulling away, he shut off the engine and got out of the truck.Heat pooled between Alexis's thighs and she could feel her panties start to dampen as she put her shoes on, opened the passenger door, and stepped out.As they walked in, she thought she spotted people whispering Kip's name—the men giving him appreciative glances and the women giving her dirty looks."Damn, cowboy.Perhaps I didn't give you enough credit," she conceded after they'd gotten beers from the bartender and had sat down at a small picnic table on the outdoor patio of the bar, their backs against the tabletop.A live band played some rocking tune across the place, making Alexis glad they'd opted to take things out into the night air.Kip raised an eyebrow."Oh? How so?" he asked, placing an arm around her and drawing her closer on the bench."For starters, practically every woman in the place knew who the hell you were and was ready to drop their panties the moment we walked in," she explained with a laugh."Second, I heard what the men were saying about you, something about being good enough for the Hall of Fame.""Well, I just do what I do." He took a long sip of his beer."Ain't no rhyme or reason to it.Just been doing it longer than I can remember… And haven't had enough sense knocked into me to do something different."Alexis was surprised at his casual response.As cocky as his demeanor had been in the car, when it came to serious talk about his occupation, Kip was surprisingly modest."That's a good way to look at it," she replied."You haven't told me exactly what it is that you do," he said, obviously trying to change the subject."I'm an attorney," Alexis answered, following his lead and taking a drink from the longneck bottle in her hand."In Florida."Kip pretended to grimace, causing her to laugh."You had me right up until the moment you told me you were a lady lawyer, darlin'!" he chuckled with an irresistible drawl."Hey, now! Law is a perfectly respectable living!" she argued back."I agree.Just promise never to practice it on me," Kip teased, gently stroking her thigh with his large hand in the same way he had in the truck.Jolts of heat surged to Alexis's core, causing her breath to catch."Handsome, I can think of several other things I'd like to practice on you—and none of them begin with a courtroom." Without hesitation, Alexis leaned in and kissed his sunburned lips.Moaning as Kip's tongue claimed her mouth, she moved to straddle his lap.As their kiss deepened, Alexis felt his hands graze her nipples through the fabric of her shirt.Finally, he broke the connection between them."Let's take this somewhere a little more private," he recommended with a wink."Wouldn't want to ruin your reputation around here or anything with what I'm about to do."Unable to speak and feeling as though her heart might beat out of her chest, Alexis simply nodded.They were almost silent on the drive back to Kip's hotel room, but the heat and anticipation between them was growing by the second.Alexis figured showing up at her parent's house with some random cowboy in tow for a wild ride wasn't exactly acceptable—although she would have loved to have seen Jennifer's face the moment she did.Instead, she told Kip it would be best if they took things back to his place, and he'd agreed."Can I get you a drink?" he asked, the moment they'd locked the door behind them."Sure," Alexis replied, taking a seat in the upholstered armchair next to the desk and kicking off her heels."Whatever you've got is fine.""Whiskey neat, it is."A moment later, Kip handed her a clear glass filled with amber-colored liquid."To not being the bride or the groom tomorrow," she toasted, coyly watching Kip smile devilishly."To sibling rivalries," he replied, touching his glass to hers with a clink.They both laughed before gulping down the liquor.There was just something purely masculine about the burn and heat of the whiskey that both surprised and aroused Alexis at the same time.It had been a long time since she'd been around a man who drank his whiskey straight
