CHAPTER 4
H ave a Good Time
Dean
I have never seen a family full of such fine-ass men. At least three of them are wearing wedding bands, but that one who was driving. Ronan. Oh my freaking God.
I can’t say I have a thing for redheads, but his ass would be the exception. Those pretty blue-hazel eyes are breathtaking. He’s tall as fuck and well built. Like, sturdy for the climb and built for the ride, built.
His ass is fine as fuck. He smelled so damn good too. I hadn’t even gotten that close before his scent hit me and made my mouth water.
Oh, and that sexy deep voice with that accent. Give me a fucking break. They don’t make those back home.
“Oh my God, they’re Felix’s uncles? What do they eat in that family? Who are they?” I say and fan my face.
“Yup, all four of them.”
“But the one with the BDE and the I fuck to ruin lives vibes. That man is too damn fine for his own good. I thought your ass was punking me when I found him waiting to pick me up.”
“I never thought about Uncle Ronan for you, but now that I think of it, he’s not that old. At least not that old for you,” Kaye snickers.
“Not that I need to know, but how old is that man?”
“I think Uncle Ronan is like thirty-eight or forty or something like that.”
“Shit, really? He’s single?”
“Yeah, as far as I know, he is.”
“You know what? Never mind. I didn’t ask that. I’m nowhere near the headspace to date and that man looks like he runs around setting drawers and hearts on fire.”
Kaye bursts into laughter. “I’m so glad you’re here. I can’t tell you how much this means to me.”
“You’re doing me a favor. I had to get away before I lost my mind. You gave me a reason to run off and ignore my life for a while.”
“So a hot fling could come in handy. Why not the hot redhead?”
“Because the man’s hand brushed mine and I ended up with a heartbeat in my pussy. Nope, I’m staying far away from that. Besides, my brand of fucked up needs healing before I can think about anything else.”
“You know I’m here to listen if you need. I do hope you can find your healing here.”
“You and me both.”
“Healing? Aye, love. I thought ya could use a night out with our lot. Come, we’re heading to the pub. Let me and me brothers take turns buying ya a pint of the black stuff,” Ronan says as he appears at the threshold of the kitchen.
“The black stuff?”
“Aye, Guinness. You haven’t had it until ya have had a pint here in Ireland.”
“Um … your brothers are all going?”
“Aye, and a few of me nephews.”
I bite my lip as his accent washes over me. It’s sexy as hell with that voice. How does a man sound like he can fuck the shit out of you?
Yup, this one is dangerous. I guess I don’t have to open up to have a good lay. I grin as the thought enters my head.
However, I shake it off just as quickly. I don’t have time for a fling. I need to take this time to figure out what’s next for me.
Is publishing over for me? Is it time I focus on my other business? Do I allow Dean Foxx to fade to black once and for all?
“Oh, um … I don’t know. I just arrived. I should probably unpack and help Kaye get this place in shape.”
“This place has been ready for Kaye before she arrived. Ya’ll have plenty of time to get settled yerself. Connie plans to help out for the next few days. Ma and Da will lend a hand as much as they can as well. I promise ya a good time.”
“Go on, there really isn’t much to do here tonight. Go have a good time and we can catch up tomorrow,” Kaye says.
I narrow my eyes and glare at her. From the smirk on her lips, she knows I’m going to kick her ass later. Ronan moves closer and his cologne surrounds me.
Good Lord, does fine have its own scent? This man smells good enough to eat. I slide my hands between my thighs and squeeze them together.
If I weren’t sitting on this stool, I’m sure my knees would have given up on me. I go to try to protest one more time, but Connie and Dae-Dae rush into the kitchen.
Ronan turns and scoops the boy up into his arms. The smile he gives the kid as he looks at him is enough to make me second-guess my stance on having kids and I don’t even like the little crumb snatchers all that much.
“Uncle Ronan, can you watch a movie with me?”
“I be heading out.”
“Aw man.” Dae-Dae pouts.
“If you watch the movie with the kid for the time it takes me to get ready, I’ll come out,” I say, not knowing what has gotten into me.
“Oh, awesome. Ya’re going to have so much fun. The McGowans are a blast,” Connie sings.
“Aye, we are,” Ronan croons. “Come, Dae-Dae, we have a movie to watch.”
“ Yes ,” Dae-Dae cheers.
“Fine, I’m going to get ready,” I grumble under my breath and head to my room.
I’m going to regret this. I can feel it.

Ronan
I hadn’t planned to invite the lass along, but when I overheard her saying she needs to heal, I couldn’t help myself. My family is the right lot to bring a smile to her face and healing starts with joy. My family is certainly where I return when I need fixing.
It’s been years since I’ve needed to run back home for patching up, but I remember how my brothers got me right as they could after my world fell apart. We spent a lot of time in this very pub. They allowed me to drink my sorrows away as they took the piss out of me once I could handle the teasing.
“Ya haven’t taken yer eyes off her since ya arrived. Why are ya over here and not over there doing what ya do best?” My nephew Carrick asks.
I’m a flirt; it is what I do best. Flirting takes away the expectations. I’m good for a grand time in my bed.
I’m not going to stick around for the commitment. My past has made sure of that. It wouldn’t be right for me to pull that shit with Felix’s girl’s friend.
I pat the lad on his cheek. “Yer too young for me to have to explain myself to ya. Go on, find yerself something else to do.”
“Does that include her? She’s a fit one. Have ya seen that arse? What a ride.”
“Ya want to keep breathing through that bake?”
“Aye, I do.”
“Then I suggest ya shut yer gub now.”
He throws his hands in the air as if in surrender. I roll my eyes and down my beer. I shouldn’t feel so possessive over this lass.
I know nothing about her and she’s too young for me. I need to get my shit together. I’m over here to keep from doing something I know I shouldn’t.
The lass’s voice is like a siren song with a laugh to match. If my cock twitches one more time from the sound, I’m going to throw all caution to the wind and she’s going to be in my bed tonight.
I can just imagine pinning that waist down while I pound her fat arse from behind. I wonder what those big tits look like without clothes on. These are the thoughts that have me rooted to this side of the pub.
My brothers roar with laughter and I long to move closer. Dean looks to be having a good time with them. Jonah, Jack, and Raymond have red cheeks, telling me they’re all steamin’. I haven’t had enough to drink to be on that side of grand.
“Ronan, get over here. This lass has a great sense of humor, and she has no problem taking the piss out of Jack,” Jonah croons across the pub.
“Give me a second,” I call back.
I lift my hand for two more pints. The barkeep comes over with two more. I take them and turn for the group I’ve been keeping my distance from.
When I get to the table, I place one beer in front of Dean and take a seat. Jeremiah has taken the seat next to Dean that I vacated earlier. I try not to be cheesed off about it, telling myself it’s for the best.
Her scent is mouthwatering. I was seconds away from leaning into her to inhale her deeply before I walked off earlier. I’ve been having crazy thoughts since she appeared, ready to leave after she got changed while I watched a movie with Dae-Dae and waited.
She’s in this black one-piece that hugs her body and shows off every curve. That fat pussy print was enough to make me want to cancel the night and take her straight back to my place. I like my women not too tall and not too short. She’s right there in the sweet zone.
“Yer half me age, love. I have boots older than ya,” Jack chuckles as his cheeks are rosy.
“And yer wife would have ya by the balls,” Jonah says as he laughs.
“I know he’s married. That’s why I’m flirting back. I know he doesn’t mean it. It’s harmless and safe.”
Reilly gives a cheeky smile. “The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Ya can flirt with me instead.”
“I think you’re too young for me,” she chuckles.
I lift a brow at this. I thought she and Reilly were the same age. She doesn’t look to be that much older than he is.
“I’m twenty-two. No way yer that much older than me.”
“I’m so sorry, love. I’m thirty-one.”
“Ya tell a fib, ya do,” Jonah and I say in unison.
However, she turns to look at me as the words slip from my lips. I begin to see her anew. Twelve years isn’t that big a difference. It’s old enough for me to reconsider my stance on taking her home.
“Nope, it’s the truth. I’ll show you my ID if you want.”
“Yer single, love?”
“I’m single single and good with that.”
“Um.”
“What does that sound mean?”
“Nothing at all, love.”
“Aye, it does. It means run,” Carrick cracks up.
I glare at him until he shuts his mouth. I love my nephews, but they do my head in at times. This being one of those times.
“On that note, I’m going to excuse myself for the restroom.”
“I’ll join you. I see someone I want to say hey to,” Connie says.
I can’t help watching her ass as she goes. Damn. I need to stay right where I am.
Who the fuck am I kidding?

Dean
I needed to make a run for it. The look in Ronan’s eyes once I said my age almost melted me on the spot. The man looked like he wanted to devour me.
It was all fun and games when I was flirting with his brothers. They’re a fun bunch. I knew off jump they weren’t serious and weren’t taking me seriously either. It was all for laughs.
Now I’m standing in this bathroom contemplating my life. It’s been a while since I’ve had sex. What would be the big deal if I let him rearrange my guts for the night?
Maybe it will do me some good. Locking my fingers in that thick red hair while he shows me what it’s like to have a little luck of the Irish, or hopefully a lot. With all that big dick energy, I’m hoping it’s a hell of a lot.
“You can’t even keep your own family from shitting on you. You didn’t fly all this way to get fucked over by some Irish stranger,” I mumble to myself.
I shake my hands over the sink and go to leave. I wonder if Connie is still chatting up her friend. It might be time for me to head back to the house.
Stepping out of the bathroom, I’m lost in thought as I scroll through my phone. I don’t make it but a few steps out the door when I slam into something hard.
Strong arms wrap around me, and I’m pulled into a hard body. That delicious scent I’m beginning to love fills my head. I lift my gaze slowly.
“Does being single single keep ya from going for a ride every now and then?” he rumbles in that sexy-ass voice.
My mouth falls open as he maneuvers my back against the wall behind me. I stand dumbfounded at first. I’m caught in his spell as I look into his blue-hazel eyes.
They are so intense and promise all types of naughty things. When I find my brain and voice, I lift my head high and close my mouth. This man is too much.
“Excuse me?”
He leans into my ear. “Ya heard me, love. I want to show ya a grand time in my bed.
“Yer not as young as I thought ya were. I promise I’ll teach ya a few things that will keep ya in my bed while yer here. Ya might even keep me on repeat when we’re both in the States.”
“You assume I need teaching. I’d ride your brains out, so no thanks. I don’t need you stalking me.”
He chuckles. “Ya sure about that, love?”
“Positive, big boy. I’d set those sheets on fire, Red.”
“I’m fine with that. I’ll keep ya wet enough to put those flames out. Although I don’t mind burning for the right one.”
Nope, not doing this. As his words reach into me and make me want to be the one, I know I can’t go there. I don’t have it in me to care about anyone else, not now.
He’s talking about fucking but I have this feeling it would be so much more. His fine ass needs to back up. Instead, he pinches my chin between his fingers and leans into me.
“Ronan, is that ya?” A woman calls, breaking the spell he has me under.
“Fuck,” he bites out.
