to resist him when others had failed.
Archer pushed the thoughts away, determined to enjoy his
weekend and not let things he couldn t change depress him. When the
time came for him to move on, at least he d have fond memories of
the man beside him.
It was more than he d expected when all the craziness began. He
couldn t change that he wanted it to be more, but he wouldn t
begrudge their time together.
Thank you, he said quietly.
You re welcome. Levi paused and cocked his head to the side.
Why are you thanking me?
Archer slumped back in his seat and stared out of his window.
Just because.

His heart hammered inside his chest as he watched the bull buck,
kick, and twist. It wasn t the animal that held him mesmerized,
though. It was the man seated atop him. Levi was every wet dream
Archer had ever had come to life, but he was terrified that the man
would disappear if he took his eyes off him.
Get him down! Benson yelled. He wasn t anything like what
Archer had expected. The guy couldn t have been more than five-
foot-seven and a buck fifty soaking wet. What he lacked in height and
bulk, he made up for in personality, though.
Levi more fell off the beast than jumped, but he gained his feet
quickly and sprinted for the wooden fence, pulling himself up as Code
Blue barreled into the fence, causing the entire thing to shake
violently.
Archer was going to throw up. He just knew it. It didn t matter
that Levi was perched on top of the fence, waving his cowboy hat at
him and smiling like a damn idiot.
Breathe. Benson slapped him on the shoulder and chuckled.
It s the excitement that they live for. His hand lingered just a little
too long, slowly sliding its way down Archer s arm. He licked his
plump lips, his green eyes raking over Archer s body.
Archer sidestepped the man, brushing off his hand. He glanced up
to see if Levi had noticed.
Yep. He noticed.
Levi whirled around on the fence, dropped to the ground, and
stomped over to them, kicking up dust around his black boots. He
looked mad enough to chew glass, but Archer wasn t sure exactly
who the anger was directed at. Levi s face was red, all traces of his
former smile had vanished, and his eyes flashed with a possessiveness
that made Archer s knees tremble.
When he reached them, he glared at his friend for no more than a
heartbeat before grabbing Archer s hips in both hands and jerking him
forward until their groins met. Archer s gasp turned into a quiet groan
Dance With the Devil 73
when their chests rubbed together, and Levi took full advantage,
capturing Archer s lips and pillaging the depths of his mouth.
Archer groaned in earnest when their tongues met, slipping over
one another and twining together in a heated duel. He d imagined this
a hundred times as he d stared up at the ceiling, alone in his
temporary bed. It wasn t even close to what his brain had conjured. It
was a million times better.
Levi tasted like heaven, and he didn t just kiss Archer, he attacked
him, devoured him, and branded him. The kiss was full of need, heat,
and passion, with something primal on the edges. Levi was claiming
him, leaving no doubt about whom he belonged to, and Archer
shouldn t have been as thrilled as he was about it.
When the kiss ended, Levi didn t move far away. He leaned their
foreheads together, his hands still holding tightly to Archer s hips as
he panted for breath. I ve wanted to do that since the first time I saw
you.
Does that mean we can do it again? Archer didn t know where
his boldness came from. He just knew that he d do whatever it took to
get another kiss like that.
Levi leaned away, staring into Archer s eyes for a long time
before he slowly reached up to cup his cheek and smooth his thumb
over Archer s kiss-swollen lips. Yeah, darlin , I guess it does. I can t
fight you anymore. After that kiss, I d be a damn fool to try.
Are you done for the day? Archer thrummed with pent-up
desire. He should probably take things slowly, but his body just
wasn t listening. His cock ached, definitely unhappy with its current
confinement.
Levi smirked at him as he bent forward and brushed his lips over
Archer s again. I could use a shower.
And someone to scrub your back?
No, not just anyone, darlin . Levi bent lower, skimming his
nose up Archer s neck and nipping at the sensitive skin just behind his
ear. There s a lot of dirt. Do you think you re up for it?
In response, Archer stepped away, grabbed his cowboy s wrist,
and practically dragged him toward the house.

Chapter Eight
Levi didn t let himself debate the wisdom of falling into bed with
Archer. He d been too hard for too long, lusting after something he
kept telling himself he couldn t have. The man was gorgeous both
inside and out, and Levi only had one concern as they barged into
Benson s house and stumbled up the stairs to their rooms.
Please tell me that you have condoms.
Archer paused, bit his lip, and shook his head. I didn t exactly
plan this.
Urging Archer backward into the guest bathroom, he motioned for
his soon-to-be lover to get the shower started while he rummaged in
the drawers. Coming up with a brand-new bottle of waterproof lube
and an unopened box of condoms, he had to smile and shake his head.
He hadn t planned this any more than Archer had, but apparently
he hadn t gotten that message across to Benson when he d called to
tell his friend that he d be bringing someone with him. He might have
seen red as he d watched Benson paw at Archer, but he could
probably forgive the ranch owner after this. Besides, he d never
known Benson to poach and could only assume it had to do with
Archer s irresistible charm.
Are you going to use them or frame them? Archer called from
beneath the spray of the showerhead.
Levi had every intention of using them, but he need a lot more
room for what he wanted to do to Archer. He d jacked off a dozen
times in the past week, imagining taking the gorgeous man in a
hundred different ways. Now that his fantasy had come to life, he
wanted to take his time and savor it.
Dance With the Devil 75
Setting the lube and box of condoms on the counter near the sink,
he stripped out of his dusty clothes and climbed into the small shower
stall behind Archer. All it took was one look at Archer s nude, wet
body, and his cock swelled rapidly to jut proudly from his groin,
straining and begging for relief.
Watching Archer s muscles flex and bunch, the water rush over
his supple skin, and the way his ass clenched and relaxed had Levi
fighting to hold his orgasm at bay. This was going to be harder than
he thought. Wash quick, he ground out.
Archer tossed him a smirk over his shoulder and reached for the
