I think of the talk I had with Dragon about his attempted seduction of Rory. And as protective as I am of Rory, I’m ten times more protective of Maddie, the baby of the family.

“But I need to be with you,” she says.

I need to be with her too, probably more than she needs me. I’m still not convinced she feels for me what I’ve learned I feel for her. She thinks she does, but she’s so young, and she’s worshipped me from afar for so long.

She may not love me when she comes to know the real Jesse.

The Jesse who has secrets of his own. Secrets that may affect how she feels about me.

I should have kept my emotions at bay. I could have gotten her to agree to sleep with me for the duration of the tour to ease my tension, to keep me satisfied and focused at the same time.

But no… I had to go and blurt out that I’d fallen for her. That part of me had always wanted her.

“We can’t. We’ll be together as much as we can, but you need to stay with Maddie, and I need to stay with Dragon.”

She nods.

“But we do have to tell them. Tomorrow at breakfast. Eight o’clock in the dining room.”

She nods again and then she rises, grabs her jeans and sexy red thong off the floor, and begins to dress. “Can you at least walk me to my room?”

I’m a gentleman, and normally I would never hesitate at that request. But?—

“What if Maddie sees me?”

“You just said we’re going to tell them tomorrow anyway.” She slides her red thong over her slim hips to cover that luscious pussy. Then she turns, giving me a bird’s-eye view of her firm and shapely ass.

God, that ass. Licking her asshole. So many things I’m ready to do to her. So many things she may not be ready for.

Already my cock is getting hard again.

I could fuck her again. A quickie.

But no. We’re both going to have to learn to keep our desires in check as the situation demands. We’ll tell Maddie and the others tomorrow at breakfast. Donny and Callie are still in London, so at least I don’t have to tell Donny Steel yet that I’m fucking his baby sister.

I let out a sarcastic chuckle. He’s been fucking my sister for months.

Brianna turns and then sits back on the bed, sliding her feet into her jeans. “What’s so funny?”

“Nothing.”

Callie made Donny and me kiss and make up a while ago. My heart wasn’t quite in it then, but I’m going to have to find it in myself now. Once they get married—and once Brock marries Rory—we will truly be family.

And damn…

If I can find a way to make this work with Brianna—a way where neither of us has to give up our dream—and if she truly does love me, if it’s not just a puppy-love girlhood crush, if we can find a way to get through all that…

I may be more of a Steel family member than I ever thought I’d be.

“Of course I’ll see you to your door. I’m sorry I got hesitant. I’m a gentleman, and I love you, Brianna. I will always see you to your door.” I rise from the bed then as well and slide my jeans over my hips without bothering with my underwear.

I watch her continue to dress, and when she’s finished, I ask, “You ready?”

Her jaw drops. “You don’t have anything on.”

I look down. My feet are bare, my chest is bare. “We’re only walking down the hallway,” I say.

“It’s fine with me if it’s fine with you.”
