ass food, so you will let me feed you, or I won't agree to this." I glare at Dallas, as I say this, but I notice Mason's mouth tilts up slightly.

"If you insist." He says, but my eyes still haven't come off Dallas, who is glaring at me.

"Don't make this difficult, or I’ll keep you prisoner here," Dallas says.

"Plan to tie me to your bed?" I raise an eyebrow at him.

"Yes." He says.

"Explain that one to my brother." I kiss his cheek and head out the door.

Once in the garage, I turn to Mason. "You driving, big guy?"

"Yep." One word answers, great.

"Which one we are taking?" I'm referring to the car collection here. The boys love their cars.

He tilts his head to the SUV with tinted windows at the far end, so I follow him. At least, he's a gentleman, opening my door and all.

The ride to the restaurant is quiet, and as we pull into the parking lot, I get a text from Belle telling me she got a table in the back.

Before Mason can climb out of the car, I place a hand on his arm, and his eyes shoot to me.

"So, I don't want to forget to say thank you for doing this. I know you were hired on for Dallas and Landon, not me."

"You’re Landon's sister, and our contract covers you. Always has, but never had a need to use it, until now. Stay there, and I’ll come around."

I'm a bit shocked. He's always had me covered in his security contract? I guess it makes sense, especially after our parents died, and it was just us, but Landon never told me. Add it to the list of things to talk to him about, when he gets home. Maybe, I will open with this one.

Mason helps me out of the car, and we head inside. The waitress seems annoyed, when I try to walk past her, saying I know where I'm going, and the manager tries to stop me from getting to Belle's table, until she runs up and hugs me.

Her hair is done up in some fancy twist and is blonde this time, instead of her normal dark brown. Her tan skin stands out in her white shorts and navy blue shirt. When she pulls back, she gives me a once over. She then pulls a classic Belle move and gives a flirty wink to Mason.

"Hey, big guy. You can join my team, so just pick a table." She points to the table in front and behind her, each with a guy about the size of Mason sitting at it.

Before joining Belle, I turn back to him, "Remember our deal. You will eat."

He gives me a cocky half smile.

"A deal a deal." He says.

I nod and sit down with Belle.

"Girl, we have so much to catch up on. Did you really go on tour with the guys?"

"Yeah, Landon convinced me to sing two songs at each stop."

"Oh, I'm so jealous I wasn't there. We really should do a duet. I think it would be killer."

"I'll have my people call your people." I joke, as we place our drink orders.

This place makes the best sweet tea, and the food is all true southern cooking. The first few times we were here, we did the buffet to try it all. Now, we order from the menu, because we know what we like. After I order, I turn my head to Mason and watch him order, before nodding in approval.

"So, what's with Mr. Sexy Hulk?" Belle asks.

"See! I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks he looks like The Hulk. I wonder if I can get him to let me paint him green for Halloween?" We both break out into giggles.

"You could dress as Black Widow and hang over him all night." Belle jokes.

"His wife wouldn’t be too happy, and my brother would freak!" I laugh.

"Speaking of, how is your brother?"

"Ahhh, he's been busy. He’s working out of town. Some sponsorship he’s working with, and a charity that he's on their board. But we are... okay, I guess. I'm not his biggest fan at the moment."

"Why, what happened?"

"Oh, you know he's told me who I can and can't date. No one's good enough. The usual." I wave my hand at her and sigh.

"Isn't this why you moved to Portland?"

"Yeah, but here's a story for you." I go on to tell her about Branden, and how it was casual, and he proposed after three months, and then randomly showed up on my doorstep a few days ago. I leave out the part that my brother is looking into him, and that’s why I have security today.

"What!" She screeches just a little too loud, making heads turn.

"I couldn't get my boyfriend to propose after two years, and here it only took you three months. Damn girl." She shakes her head.

"It would be nice if that was my goal, but him being good in bed was all he had going for him."

"Damn."

"Yeah," I agree.

"So, I heard a rumor, and I need to confirm it, because if it's true it will break my heart."

"Oh, what’s that?" I ask.

"There’s a rumor that some girl tamed Dallas. He's done with his playboy ways, and also cut off contact with all his hookups. I need to know if it's true, and who this lucky bitch is."

I take a deep breath. Shit. I can't tell Belle, before my brother knows, but I also hate the idea of lying to her. I know I can trust her, but Dallas and I hadn't agreed to tell anyone yet, so I need to keep this under wraps for now. But I need to give her something.

"Well, I know he's done with the sleeping around. Has been for months, and he's just tired of the lifestyle. Landon doesn't seem to believe he's changed, but I've seen it. I'm proud of him." I tell her.

"And the girl?"

"I don't know of one. He's pretty much a homebody. He doesn't go out anymore
