“I told her about us,” I tell my brother. “About the sex.”

His face burns hot and bright red. Then he stiffens as if bracing himself for her wrath. Raegan’s a hothead. We all know this. Surprising us, she reaches over and touches his arm. He turns toward us, taking her hand in his, threading their fingers together.

This is what we needed.

The three of us together like it was always supposed to be.

Together we can endure anything.

“I don’t care that you two had sex,” Raegan says finally, though her shaking voice contradicts her words. “I’m hurt that you both shut me out.”

Ryder squeezes her hand and brings it to his mouth for a kiss. “I’m sorry. I’m so fucking sorry, Rae.”

She lets out a ragged sigh as if expelling all the hurt and stress at once. “It’s obvious I already forgave you two idiots.”

Ryder grins at her. “Thank God. I missed you.”

“If you missed me so much, take your coat and boots off so we can cuddle. You owe me lots of hugs and kisses.”

I slip my hand under her shirt to feel her flat belly, wondering how big the baby is right now. I don’t often care about internet access, but right now, I wish I had Wild’s phone and a signal so I could research.

Ryder slips out of his coat, then yanks off his boots and jeans before climbing into bed in just his shirt and boxers. He lies on his side, staring at our sister. Then, because he owes her, he leans forward and kisses her pouty lips.

“Missed this sassy mouth,” he says with a grunt.

She sighs happily, letting him stroke her hair and kiss her for several more moments. While he comforts her, I rub circles on her stomach, already smitten with this baby and the idea of my sister big and round with my child.

“We have something to tell you,” Raegan finally says, her voice a mere whisper.

Ryder sits up on his elbow, casting his gaze my way before saying, “You two had sex again? I understand. This thing will work a lot better if we keep the lines of communication open.”

I snort out a laugh. “We didn’t have sex again.”

Frowning, Ryder turns his gaze back to Raegan. “What is it then?”

Raegan cups Ryder’s cheek and whispers, “Ronan got me pregnant.”

Silence falls over us, the only sounds the crackling from the fire and the squeals from our younger siblings far off at the firepit with our parents. Ryder’s eyes are wide and his mouth gapes open. Raegan reaches up, pushing under his chin.

“I don’t…I don’t know what to say.” He blinks several times before glancing at me. “How are you two so calm?”

“Calm?” Raegan barks out a laugh. “We’re far from calm. We’re both freaking out. We wanted to tell you because you always know what to do.”

Ryder continues to blink, still reeling from our confession.

“The obvious problem is Dad is going to kill me,” I say with a dark chuckle. “Or send me away.”

He grunts at that. “I won’t let either of those things happen.” His hand leaves Raegan’s hair to toy with mine. “No one’s dying on my watch.”

“This is why we needed to tell you,” I murmur, teasing my fingers higher up Raegan’s stomach. “You’re a fixer. We need fixing.”

Ryder flashes each of us a devilish grin. “I don’t think either of you needs fixing. I love you the way you are.”

He lets go of my hair to reach between himself and Raegan. She trembles when he touches her belly, both our fingers now stroking over her.

“We’ll keep you safe,” Ryder promises, his mouth finding Raegan’s. “I swear on my life.”

As the two of them kiss, their hands becoming greedier, my dick hardens. I have numerous images that flash in my mind, all of which end with the three of us naked and touching. Reaching across Rae, I squeeze Ryder’s ass cheek.
