I lean my head against the shower tiles, welcoming the hot water as it slides over my curves.
Lust beckoned.
I had sex in a music studio on apiano!
Finishing up, I dry myself on one of the softest towels I have ever used, brush my teeth, hurriedly blow dry my hair, then braid it into a fishtail.
I put back on the only clothes I have with me, minus my AWOL thong. As an Aussie, I’m so used to thongs getting worn on our feet and not as butt floss. I will discreetly be asking Tucker to return that piece of lost property.
Checking the time, I hurry down to the kitchen.
Initially, my entrance goes unnoticed by the twins because Tucker and Teagan are doing that twin telepathic thing. Tucker is silently warning his twin to keep her mouth shut, and she is retaliating with all the glee of a know-it-all as they prepare food for themselves to take over to the dining table.
Tucker’s hair is wet and combed over on the side, wearing gray plaid pajama pants and a black T-shirt.
Dammit, I should have come down in pajamas too, as a united front for we-did-not-have-sex-in-the-music-studio.
Moving closer, I inhale the unmistakable scent of masculine soap and coffee. It is evident to Teagan, from her smirk, that Tucker has showered and come down to breakfast dressed in pajamas as though it is just a typical morning spent with family at breakfast, and not he has had wild sex and needed to clean up first.
I clear my throat and plaster a lie across my face as I say, “Good morning.” I decide acting like this is the first time I have seen Tucker today works best, refusing to lower my façade, even when Teagan laughs softly, and my face starts roasting like a bonfire got lit underneath me.
I brought Bronwyn Bear and my wallet down with me, and I’m wearing Tucker’s leather jacket because the day won’t have had a chance to gather any warmth in the air yet. I’ll give it back to him when we arrive in Temecula.
I carry on the pretense that Tucker and I have done nothing intimate while his sisters have been sleeping and make small talk with Teagan, which she is happy to play along with, thankfully.
Alice is still up in her room, too excited to eat, so the twins will let her eat later after returning from the Temecula flight.
Tucker tries to sabotage my act, making telling gestures with his behavior over breakfast, touching me discreetly every chance he can, and I sop every bit up like a dry sponge.
What is wrong with me? This thing we are doing ended when we left the music studio. Didn’t it?
Tucker’s actions only aid in solidifying the Cheshire smile on Teagan’s gorgeous face as we all busy ourselves eating our food.
Once we finish, I offer to clean up the breakfast dishes by placing them in the dishwasher, and Tucker goes to find Alice, leaving me with his twin.
Teagan hovers with her arms crossed, leaning up against the kitchen counter, silently watching me, amusement and dimples on display.
“I approve.” Teagan’s voice breaks the awkward. “And don’t even begin to pretend you have no idea what I am talking about.”
Shit!
“I hope you had dirty sex with my brother and made use of the soundproofing.” She nudges me, still grinning, seeing right through me.
Double crap!
“Maybe I’ll go wait down by the car for Alice and Tucker.” I’m about to abandon the packing of the dishwasher.
“I’ll take that as a yes because you have the look of a woman who has beenthoroughly—”
“Ever heard of a filter?” I cut her off, crossing my arms, trying not to laugh at her audacity.
“Better get used to me because when the Royals like something, they hold on with both hands. And we all like you, girl.”
I like all of you too.
