“Since you knew my name, youmustknow my history with your brother. Any thoughts so we can get that out of the way?”

“That he was obviously too stupid to hold the smarter, funnier sister. Disappointing but not surprising.”

“Smarterandfunnier? Do I sense an ally, Jack?”

“Absolutely. If you’ll give me the dirty details of your breakup. They seem a little sketchy when that asshat explains them.”

I turned, crossed my legs, and propped my elbow on the back of the bench. Jack’s eyes dipped to my chest and I followed his gaze.

The girls were about to make a bid for freedom.

Yanking up the strapless gown, I silently cursed my sister of the no-tits club. Big boobs didn’t go strapless in my opinion.

Until I did the final fitting the night before, itwasn’tstrapless. That was a last-minute subtraction from Ava.

“I’ll give you the condensed version. The two of them were going at it doggie-style in my bed. What no one knows but me – and now you – is the fact thatshewas the top.”

Diversion accomplished. Jack tried to speak but nothing came out as his lips opened and closed.

I carried on. “There wasnothingremotely sexy about it. Kind of the way I imagine hard-core science nerds are with their first porn.”

His laughter ricocheted around the three-level building and I knew I could listen to it all day.

“My reflex reaction after recovering from a moment of confusion was bursting into hysterical laughter I wasn’t able to stop for several minutes. It wasthatfunny.”

Jack wiped at his eyes.

“I threw their clothes over my balcony to the pool area below and shoved them into the hallway naked.” Draining the last of my drink, I added, “I wished them luck.”

“You ran to the balcony to watch them, didn’t you?” He could barely speak around his laughter.

“They took the fire stairs to the first floor. I got video of the whole thing.”

“You didn’t?”

“Of course I did.”

Lifting the hem of my dress, I took my phone from the garter-style holder I bought for the day. No way was I going to miss an opportunity for photos.

I noticed Jack’s eyes lingered on my exposed leg. Oddly, it made me feel a bit shy and I didn’t know why.

I covered it with a wink. “Watching them scramble down four flights of stairs buck naked wassogood. I won’t lie.”

Pulling up the video, I lowered the sound. Turning the phone in his direction, I hitplay.

At his ear, I whispered, “Noticing my sister was still wearing the strap-on as they hit the pool area was fuckingpriceless.”

Shaking with laughter so hard there was no sound, he bent over, tears running down his face as he watched the recording.

When it reached the end, he handed me the phone and pulled me to him for a tight hug. He was still giggling.

“Brilliant. Absolutely fuckingbrilliant, Petra.”

Jack smelled so good it made my mouth water.

Chapter Six

I was called for another photo and may have growled as Jack released me and took my glass. He continued to laugh in short bursts that made me giggle crazily.
