She rolled her eyes. “You won’t. Trust me. Besides, my arms could really use the break.”
“Oh! Well yes, let me take her so you can stretch your arms.”
I reached out and took in a deep breath as Harmony gently and expertly placed Presley in my arms. The feeling that came over me was one I’d never experienced before. My chest squeezed as I leaned down and took in a deep breath. “She smells like heaven.”
Harmony grinned from ear to ear. “Isn’t she perfect? I love her so much. And the way Preston is with her, it’s such a turn-on to watch him when he’s holding or changing her, and the way he talks to her when she’s feeding.” Harmony fanned herself. “Is it getting hot in here?”
My cheeks heated, and I couldn’t help but glance over to Preston. I wasn’t sure what their mother ate and drank while pregnant, but she’d put out some drop-dead gorgeous guys, with hearts of gold. And Angela was beyond breathtaking. Besides that, it was clear there wasn’t anything she wouldn’t do for her brothers.
Scanning the area, my eyes landed on Finn’s across the room. He was watching me intently. When he smiled, my heart skittered. Heat pooled in my lower stomach the moment he winked at me.
“Be careful—I see the way you’re looking at Finn. Of course, unless you want to practice for baby making.”
Dragging my eyes off Finn, I turned to Harmony and laughed. “That would be hard to do, since we haven’t slept together yet.”
Her mouth fell and she shook her head quickly. “Wait. Come again?”
I shrugged.
“You guys haven’t slept together yet?” Harmony asked.
“Nope.”
Harmony’s eyes widened in surprise before she quickly searched the room. “Angie! Meeting in the office. Right away!”
Angie came rushing over. “What? What’s wrong?”
The next thing I knew, I was being rushed into the office and told to sit down in the chair. I did, and quickly got lost in the beautiful moment of holding Presley. Harmony and Angie were babbling on about something, but I was too busy admiring the angel in my arms to pay any attention to them.
“What?!” Angie cried out, causing me to jump and Presley to make a few little noises and stretch before she settled back into her slumber.
I glanced up, and my head pulled back in surprise as the two of them stared at me with stunned expressions.
“Am…am I holding her wrong?” I asked.
Angela sat on the desk and flashed me a huge smile. “You haven’t done the deed with Finn yet? How long have y’all been dating?”
I shrugged. “A few weeks.”
Covering her mouth, she spun and looked at Harmony, who was smiling like a fool. “I know! You know what this means, right, Angie?”
“Oh. My. Goodness. Holy. Shit,” Angie said while turning back to me. Both of them stared at me in a creepy kind of way, their smiles so big I wondered if they were planning something I should be worried about.
“What? What does that mean? What are we evening talking about?” I asked.
Harmony walked up and motioned for Angela to slide over, and in a moment they were both sitting on the desk and looking at me with goofy grins. “You’re the one,” Angela purred while covering her heart with her hands and batting her lashes.
Harmony leaned closer to me and said, “Oh, Rory, no woman has ever managed to do what you have.”
My eyes drifted between the two nutcases. “What have I managed to do?”
They looked at each other and then back to me. “Cause Finn to fall in love.”
I nearly choked. “What!? Finn is not in love with me. We’ve hardly been dating for that long.”
“He hasn’t slept with you. Unless he finds you physically unattractive, he’s falling in love with you.”
My eyes narrowed as I let Angela’s words sink in. “Do you think he finds me unattractive? Is that why he hasn’t even attempted to make love to me?”
Harmony shook her head. “No! Okay, let’s backtrack. Has he done…other things?” She wiggled her eyebrows, and I instantly flushed.
“Oh, look at her cheeks turning red. I’ll take that as I yes!” Angela said with a laugh. “What has he done? No, wait, I don’t want to know, ’cause he is still my brother. Does he make you happy, though?”
Pressing my lips together, I nodded. “Very happy.”
Both women started acting like middle school girls as they jumped up and danced with excitement. I couldn’t help but giggle at the two of them. “He also scares me. Thrills me. Makes me feel things I’ve never felt before. I’m so confused.”
Harmony instantly sat again. “Scares you? Why does he scare you?”
I chewed on my lower lip as I fought to keep the tears from my eyes. Jesus, does holding a baby make you more emotional?
“I…I think I’m…”
Angela and Harmony leaned in closer to me and both asked, “Yes?”
