The time they spend together makes everything else bearable, but before long she begins to feel more than friendship.And so does he.Which could ruin everything.All settled in, Silver gave him a sideways once over. “I’d do you.”Landon groaned, covered his eyes with his hand, and muttered, “Brat.”“Yes, Sir.” Two Dominant men who can break past her pretty mask and the shallow image she portrayed to the flashing cameras. A gentle attack from both sides that she can't hope to block unless she learns how to play. But she's getting the hang of the game.
