“We’ll see. Is there anything else I can get you? Where’s Wally?”
“Here.” She positioned him, so his little worm face was peering from the top of the blankets.
“He really does have an unfortunate face, doesn’t he?” he mused.
“Hey! Be nice to Wally. Don’t listen to him, Wally.” She kissed his handsome worm head.
“Sorry, baby.”
“Uh-uh, it’s not me you should be apologizing too. It’s Wally.” She held him up. “Say sorry, Wally.”
“Sorry, Wally.”
“Kiss?”
“Fine.” But instead of kissing Wally’s face, he leaned in and kissed her forehead. Heat and pleasure filled her. She guessed that was acceptable. “Sleep well, Ladybug. If you need anything, then call out. I wonder if I should put Wyatt’s baby monitor in here. Or I could sleep on the floor. Or maybe—”
“Hack!”
“Yes? What?”
“I’m fine. Really.”
“Sure?”
“I’m sure. I’ll call out if I need you. I promise.”
“All right, baby girl. Sleep well.”

Three hours later, Hack was staring up at the ceiling in Sav’s living room. He’d debated texting the other man to tell him he was staying, but decided not to since he was on vacation.
And he didn’t really want Sav knowing he was here, not yet anyway.
Anger stirred toward her other brother. What right did Cash have coming here and scaring Greer half to death? Plus, he’d hurt her feelings.
He’d need to have a firm word with Cash next time he saw him. And if he continued to hurt her, well . . . he’d have to do something more than have words with the jerk.
Hack rolled over with a groan. Christ. Could Sav have a more uncomfortable sofa to sleep on?
Sighing, he listened for her. He felt on edge. She’d handled everything thrown at her so well.
Maybe too well.
Was that a cry?
Or was he imagining things? Fuck, he was like a dad with a newborn. This was ridiculous. He needed to get some sleep.
Fuck. He wanted to take over so badly with her. It was a constant itch under his skin.
He sat up. That was a cry. His heart raced as he jumped to his feet and ran toward Ethan’s room.
He slapped open the door without meaning to, making her scream.
Fuck! Idiot.
“Greer, baby, it’s me. It’s Hack.”
