“Excuse me?”

“Except for Brock, of course.”

“But you don’t think of Brock that way.”

“Not even a little bit. I’m sure he’s a very handsome man, sis, but unlike you, I’m only attracted to one sex.”

She laughs a little then. “It’s funny. I really had no clue whether I’d end up with a man or a woman, and when Brock came along and pursued me, my first inclination was that he’d be a great father for my child.”

“What?” I clench my jaw.

“Yeah. I actually asked if he’d be willing to father a child for me.”

“You what?”

“I did. Not my finest moment, of course. But after Raine and I broke up, I realized what I really wanted was a child.”

“And he said what?”

“He refused. So I went to a sperm bank.”

“You what?” I echo myself.

“Yeah. But the counselor I talked to didn’t think I was ready after we went through all the questions.”

“And are you?”

“I am, Jesse. But Brock and I have decided to wait a few years. Because if the band takes off, I don’t want to be going on maternity leave just yet.”

I’m not sure what to say to that. Because, yeah, the band may indeed take off. And if it does, we need Rory. But she could still tour. Up until probably five or six months. Then once she had the kid, she could come along. But Brock would have to come with her, or she’d have to bring a nanny for the baby. Of course, being married to Brock Steel, she’ll be able to afford the best nanny in the business. Maybe she wants to take a more hands-on approach to motherhood. Knowing Rory, I’d bet everything that’s it.

Rory and Brock have the same problem Brianna and I do. He’s dedicated to working on the ranch. Of course, they fell in love before we knew the band would be going on tour. Before Rory had even officially joined the band. I’ll talk to her about how they plan to handle it, but some other time.

“That’s your decision,” I say.

“Of course, I’m almost twenty-nine years old,” she says. “We probably shouldn’t wait too long.”

“Are you kidding me? Women are having babies in their thirties now, even in their forties. You’ve got plenty of time.”

“That’s what Brock says too.”

“But you want a child. You want to be a mother.”

I can see it in her eyes as she gushes. “Absolutely, Jess. It’s the thing I’ve always wanted most since I was a little girl. Don’t you want kids?”

I have to stop and think about that. Kids aren’t something that have ever popped onto my radar, but for Brianna to have my baby…

Damn.

My dick is getting hard just thinking about it.

Planting my seed in her, watching it grow. Then having a little boy or girl who’s half Brianna and half me. Dark hair and dark eyes, of course, because that’s what we have. And blessed with Brianna’s beauty.

“I think I do.”

“You think?”

“Maybe it’s a difference between men and women, or maybe it’s just the difference between me and you, Ror. But I honestly haven’t given it a thought. But yeah, now that I’ve let the thought sink in, I do want kids. With the right woman.”
