“What?” It took me a moment to realize Brian’s words had been coming through the gate intercom. He was asking to be buzzed in. That was infinitely better than having him actually in the room which had been my initial horrified thought.

“Your brother is at the front gate. Shit. Um. Why don’t you get in the shower while I let him in?”

My eyes scanned down to his erection. “Maybe you should take the shower, and I’ll get the door.” I was already up, frantically dressing in sweats, and hastily picking up our clothing off the floor.

“Don’t worry, it’s quickly deflating.” He threw on his flannel bottoms and quickly ran out to the kitchen to buzz Brian in.

When I joined him, I saw he was swiftly breaking down the sweetheart table that had been set up for the dinner from last night. I helped put away the candles and flowers. We both looked at one another when the knock came, taking deep breaths.

“I’m guessing we’re agreed on not telling him?”

I nodded. “Yes, unless you want to deal with that, but I certainly don’t. Not in the next five minutes, especially.”

His relief was obvious. “Agreed. Did you know he was coming?”

I smacked him lightly on the arm. “Of course I didn’t. I was about to have you slide into me bare when the universe decided to cockblock me from amazing sex.”

He groaned, adjusting himself. “Shit. You had to remind me. Guess you’re answering the door cuz I’m in need of that time in the shower, after all.”

I grinned all the way to the foyer and then took a calming breath, needing to give myself a second to get into the role of little sister.

Act like you aren’t wishing you could join Colby in the shower. That you can’t still feel him from last night and, most of all, that you really appreciate your brother traveling three thousand miles to check on you.

Okay, here goes.
