Infatuation (Club Destiny #4)(36)
Author: Nicole Edwards

“So, what’s the plan for the rest of the day?” McKenna locked her eyes with his as she pushed her plate away and delicately wiped her mouth with her napkin before placing it beside the half empty plate.

Tag eyed the remaining bacon on her plate and without asking he reached over and stole the last piece. When she smiled, he felt like he’d just opened his eyes to stare directly into the sun.

Fuck. This woman was doing something to his head. Both of them actually.

“I’d like to introduce you to Luke this morning. He’ll be at the club with my brother and their wife.” He waited to see if McKenna would have any sort of reaction to the way he described the threesome.

“I hear congratulations are in order. The three of them must be so happy.” McKenna smiled, glancing up at the waiter when he stopped to collect their plates and hand Tag the bill.

“How’d you hear about that?” He didn’t think they were trying to keep their blessed baby news a secret, but as far as Tag knew, the information hadn’t been shared outside of just a handful of people.

“I have my sources.”

Of course she did.

“I guess that will make you an uncle, huh?”

“That it will,” he replied, subtly hitting the waiter with the small book that held the bill and his credit card. The man couldn’t seem to take his eyes off of McKenna and Tag was about ready to pry them from his fucking head if he didn’t move on.

“Sorry. I’ll be right back,” the man stuttered before shuffling off.

“So, what’ll we do after I meet the three of them?”

“We have a member’s only meeting this afternoon that I want to take you to. Travis Walker will be there to provide Club Destiny’s members with an introduction to the resort. He’s looking for some interest in his venture, and Logan and Luke thought their members might just provide what he’s looking for.”

He could see the enthusiasm in her eyes. This would be her first glimpse at the members. “Don’t be surprised if attendance is low.” Tag felt it necessary to warn her. “They’ve been informed of your presence, so I wouldn’t be shocked if no one shows up.”

“Understood.” She smiled again, acknowledging the waiter when he returned a few seconds later.

Tag signed the credit card receipt and tossed the pen on the table. “Ready?”

“As I’ll ever be.”

Chapter Twelve

McKenna had seen the man standing just two feet from her before, but for some reason, she’d never noticed how incredibly big Luke McCoy actually was. Nor did she realize how very small Sierra was.

And Cole… well, he was an entirely different specimen altogether. That man was obscenely attractive.

“Nice to meet you, McKenna,” Sierra said sweetly, extending her hand.

McKenna quickly returned the gesture, shaking the proffered hand before doing the same with Luke and Cole.

“So, I hear you’re doing an exclusive on the club,” Sierra mentioned, unabashed enthusiasm flashing in her eyes. “Have you met Samantha McCoy yet?”

McKenna wasn’t sure what the two had to do with one another, but she shook her head and then answered with a quick, “No”.

“Well, I’m sure she’ll be at the meeting this afternoon. She’ll be ecstatic to meet you. Sam is always talking about your magazine, or something you posted somewhere.”

McKenna could feel the intensity of Cole’s and Luke’s gazes as she stood before them. She wasn’t sure what they were sizing her up for, but she could clearly sense their hesitation. Trying to ignore them, she smiled at Sierra. “I’m looking forward to meeting her.”

“I presume Tag’s taking good care of you?” There was a hint of mischief in Luke’s penetrating gaze.

“He is.” Not quite as good as she would’ve liked, but that was more her hormones speaking than anything else. “Would you mind if I asked you a few questions, Mr. McCoy?”

McKenna couldn’t get over the fact that she was actually face to face with the owner of Club Destiny. Nor could she allow this opportunity to pass her by.

“Tomorrow,” Tag interjected. “I’ve scheduled some time for you and Luke to meet. He’s agreed to answer any questions you may have.”

Luke grinned and McKenna’s own body flushed. Apparently he didn’t have any illusions about who she was or what she was after in this case.

“Be gentle with him.” Cole laughed. “He’s a virgin when it comes to interviews.”

Luke McCoy and virgin in the same sentence? That made McKenna laugh, and everyone else for that matter. “I promise to go easy on him.”
