AT LEAST FOUR HOURSlater, Emma sat on the edge of the pool, her feet dangling in the water. Kristen, Jackson, and Logan were there with her.

“Sounds interesting. Get your people to call my office and set up a meeting. I’d like to speak to your team,” Logan said to Jackson.

Apparently, Jackson was some tech genius and had his own company. He’d just given Logan a ten-minute pitch on an idea for his liquor company, and it sounded like it was a win.

“Will do. I see it really adding value and reducing your costs. Why would you not?” Jackson said.

“Stop talking shop,” Kristen said. “He never stops working.”

Emma smiled.

“He’s young.” Logan grinned at her. “It will wear off. Give him another five years.”

“Make hay while the sun shines, as they say,” Jackson agreed. “I didn’t get to where I am by drinking my weekends away, like my college friends.”

Jackson looked like his half-brothers, and as Emma glanced between him and Logan, his cousin, she saw the same strong resemblance.

“A man after my own heart. I like a company with excellent work ethics,” Logan added. “I need to make a call in the morning to my board, and my general manager may be joining us, so I’ll tell him to expect to hear from you.”

“Take me to bed now, fiancé,” Kristen demanded. “So nice to meet you, Emma. Harper has told me so much about you over the years,andI’ve read some of your books.”

Jackson lifted her to her feet. “And that’s a ‘thank you’ from me as well.”

Emma snorted.

“You’re welcome.”

He wasn’t the first man to say that to her. Her steamy novels had brought many relationships back from the brink of disaster, or been used as a tool for improving a couple’s sex life.

When they had disappeared inside, Logan shuffled closer to her.

“What did he mean by that?” he asked.

“Book porn. My mom isn’t entirely wrong. They’ve spiced up a few marriages over the years.” She grinned, tilting her face to his.

“How spicy are these stories?” Logan asked, turning to her and running a finger along her collarbone, then down between her breasts.

“Very.”

“Do you have a favorite scene we could play out?”

Stupidly, her cheeks heated.

They’d slept together dozens of times now, and yet his question made her shy.

“Not quietly,” she replied, letting out a moan as he sucked her bottom lip.

“If only we were alone. At my house. I have some fun toys I’d love to use on you.”

Her thighs clenched.

“I like playing.” She whimpered when his hand slid up her dress and brushed her clit.

“I bet you do.” Logan stood, pulling her to her feet. “I’m going to miss you, sexy girl. Miss touching you. Miss tasting you.”

God, so was she.
