Dangerous Beauty: Part One: Destiny by Michelle Hardin

took a swig of the beer their new waitress had just brought him. “You are, but if I were you I would be too, hell, if I were you I would have never brought Carter around us. I saw how you freaked out when she kissed me. That type of girl is dangerous for a man’s health. You can’t stay mad at her, you’ll want to do everything for her, and she can get anything she wants with a damn smile, trust me I know. Women as beautiful as Carter are rare man.”
    Mickey continued talking seeing that he was pissing off his brother and wanting to piss him off more. “Now Carter, Carter is grade A sexy, top of the fucking line. I almost fell off my damn chair when I saw her, and as you heard, Nathan lost his mind when he first saw her. That’s why I
know
you’re not okay with this. You had her all to yourself, her attention and her admiration. She probably had a big fucking smile every time she saw you, and seeing how comfortable she is with you I’m sure she wasn’t afraid to be close to you either, or let you be close to her. So I take that back you’re not jealous, jealous is not enough to describe what you’re about to feel now that you’re not the only man in her life. You’ve already developed a craving for her attention, hell, I have and I just met her. And now she’ll be giving all of her attention, and more, to Nathan,” Mickey said with a smirk, enjoying picking at his big brother. The asshole shouldn’t have hit him so hard.
    Kyle’s jaw clenched as rage filled him. He was about to seriously injure his brother if he didn’t shut the fuck up. “I don’t crave shit,” Kyle said through clenched teeth.
    Dante laughed. “You might want to shut up, kid, your brothers about to kick your ass.”
    Kyle was so close to seeing red it wasn’t funny.
Fuck Mickey, he doesn’t know what he’s talking about
, Kyle thought to himself. Kyle cared for Carter, yes, but he didn’t crave her. Just because he can be in a friendship with her that has nothing to do with sex doesn’t mean he craved her attention. Yes, he thinks about her even when she’s not around, and he likes to get her the post cards like her father did because he’s a good fucking friend. The only reason he got a little jealous when she gave attention to other men was because… Well he didn’t know why but he knew it wasn’t for the reasons his brother mentioned. Kyle calmed himself, the last thing he needed to do is kill his brother. His dad would probably be pissed if he did that.
    “Like I said, Nathan is just going to use her like he does other women, I’m not jealous, I’m just worried. Carter is a nice girl, she doesn’t deserve that shit,” Kyle said achieving the calm he wanted.
    Lucca frowned. “You’re wrong, Kyle, Nathan’s not going to use that girl. Have you ever seen him act that way before, have you ever seen him look at a woman like that, like the entire room was empty of everyone but them two? He didn’t notice we were here!”
    Kyle frowned and looked back to the door wondering where they went, where Nathan would take her. He knew that Lucca was right. He saw the look on Nathan’s face, and no, he had never seen it before tonight.
    “Yeah, I agree, take it from me kids, I’m pretty sure we just met our young heir’s wife,” Dante said, he pointed his beer at Kyle. “And I’m pretty sure you’ve known her for a year.”
    Lucca smiled and nodded in agreement. “I completely agree. How long you think it will be before they walk down the aisle?”
    Dante laughed. “You’re looking for another bet?” He nodded and thought about it while taking another sip of his beer. “Okay, I give them six months. In six months’ time she’ll be covered in diamonds lounging in a million dollar penthouse, with a staff at her beck and call and a bodyguard to escort her everywhere, it might be one of us,” he said chuckling at the possibility.
    Lucca smiled. “Okay, okay then I give them one year. In one years’ time Carter will
