My body betrayed me, no matter how much I willed it to stop reacting like this to Stefan's brother.

To Stefan's—cheating brother.

Carlo laughed low, and deep.“As I said, I'll try to behave.”His eyes drifted over my face—and then—down to my cleavage.

I knew exactly how good my cleavage looked at the moment.And Carlo's eyes were all over it.“Fucking perfect,” he mumbled, still staring at my chest.Having Carlo's eyes focused—there—made me suddenly clench down deep below.

Good grief.

I had issues.

How could I possibly be attracted to my cheating brother-in-law?

He grinned at me.

“Let go of my wife, will you?”Stefan grabbed my hand and pulled.

Carlo finally surrendered and stepped away.“You can't blame me, Brother.Look at her.She's beautiful.”

Crap.

More clenching.

And more nipple hardening.

Gah.I needed to find a way to stop my brain—and my body—from doing this whenever Carlo was around.

Sheesh.

“I know exactly how beautiful my wife is.”Stefan pulled me onto his lap and kissed my lips.His tongue swept in—which I thought was an interesting thing to do in front of his brother.But I kissed him back, because if Stefan wanted to kiss me right now—with Carlo watching—who was I to say no?

“Mm,” he said, breaking our kiss.“You taste delicious.”

Carlo's deep, throaty laugh floated into my ears.“I bet Francesca tastes delicious everywhere.”

Crap.

More clenching.

And could my nipples get any harder?

“Oh, she does.Trust me.”Stefan smiled up at his brother and they both laughed.Then Carlo headed into the kitchen.

“What did you just eat?”Stefan kissed me again.

When he broke our kiss, I said, “Cannoli.I shared a box of them with Giselle.”

He laughed heartily at that.“Ah, it all makes sense, now.Eve doesn't let her cheat on her healthy diet.”He smiled at me.“But you asked Eve to get a smoothie that I know we didn't bring home.I wondered what the hell you were thinking.”

I shrugged and snuggled into him, laying my head on his shoulder.“She seemed so sad.I thought it might lift her spirits.Even if it's just for a minute.”

Stefan's hand rubbed up and down my arm.“She's having a rough time of it.”He kissed my head.“Hopefully that baby comes soon.”I could hear the distress in Stefan's voice.He obviously loved her and wanted her suffering to end.

At that moment, Dani turned her head and saw me.Her little face brightened, and she darted straight for me.

“Look!”She held her bunny up with delight.“Bunny still has them pajamas on that you gotted me.”

I nodded and fixed one of the bunny's booties.It was about to fall off.“I see that.Your bunny looks very cute.”
