“Next weekend, don’t you guys have tower training?” Logan asks as he returns from laying Reese down. He and Reese livehere with our parents while his house is being finished. He’ll have a place across the lake from mine. Eventually, Isla will build there too.

Rowdy’s place is up above all ours and looks down at the vineyard. It’s the property he and his mother chose. Because his father died when Rowdy was a baby, they moved home, and Aunt JoAnna built her house up there. She was still dealing with the loss of her husband at the time, and because my dad and he were twins, she didn’t want to see my dad as much. I understand. If I lost Lyn, I’d want to be away from everyone too, especially if she had an identical twin. I never got to meet Uncle Jared. My brother did, but he only has a few memories because he was so young.

“Yeah, we do,” I answer. “Why?”

“Just wondering when you all will be able to help me move. The house should be done this next week.”

“Your house is the one across the lake from Ryker’s, right?” Lynae asks, and I can’t wait until she says, “ours.”

“Yep.”

“Oh, Logan, when will you be able to start interviewing those nannies?” My mother interrupts our conversation.

“Let me get moved in first.”

“Okay.”

“Speaking of which,” I say, “how about Sunday?”

“Sounds good.”

Acouple of hours later, we pull into Lynae’s driveway. I hate dropping her off and wish she were coming home with me instead. She smiles at me as I reach in to help her out.

“I loved spending time with your family. Thank you for inviting me.”

“Of course. You’ll go with me next month when we do it again.”

“Oh, I don’t want to overstay my welcome. Plus, that’s so far off.”

“Come on, baby.” I walk her into the house and wait for her as she changes into something more comfortable.

I have the movie queued up that we are going to watch to relax. I talked her into letting me stay for a movie, seeing as she doesn’t have to work tomorrow. It’s a teacher in-service day, and she has her appointment.

“What time will you be here tomorrow?” she asks, and I almost swallow my tongue when I turn to face her.

She’s wearing loose-fitting pink pajama pants and a sleeveless top that crosses over itself, opening to allow her to nurse after the baby is born. All I can think about is getting my mouth around those rosy nipples again. She settles on the sofa, leaving space between us, but I’m not having that. I pull her into my body, and she snuggles in as we start the movie.

After a few moments, I notice she’s squirming. As for me, I’m having a hard time just sitting here with her fresh, floral scent washing over me. My mouth waters, wanting to get between her legs again. It’s been so long since I’ve had her essence on my tongue, and my body is primed for her right now. She squirms again, shifting her legs, and I look down at her. Her nipples are pebbled behind her shirt, and I know what her problem is.

“Baby, you okay?” I ask, hearing the gruffness in my voice.

Her head lolls back on my arm, and she looks up at me. I can see the need in her eyes. I lean down and take her lips in a thorough kiss. Before I know it, I have her on her back, and I’m over her body. Her legs open, and I nestle into her core. I can feel the heat radiating from her sweet pussy through our clothes.I pull away from her lips, and they are nice and swollen. I slide open her shirt and see her breasts behind the soft sleep bra she’s in. I pull it up to expose her rosy nipples. The small buds harden from the cool air in the room. I lean down and take one in my mouth. I move to her other and lave it, sucking it deep, until she’s moving under me.

My hand slides down her belly and into her sleep pants. She arches, urging me to move my hand to her core faster.

“Relax, sweetheart, I’ve got you.”

My fingers slide into her panties, and she’s soaked. I almost bust a nut in my jeans, she’s so hot and wet. Slipping a finger between her folds, I bypass her clit and go for her core, where I bury my finger in her tight heat.

“Yes, please, Ryker.”

I lean back down and suck her nipple into my mouth again as I fuck her with my finger. I add a second, and when she starts to tighten around them, I use my thumb to rub her clit. She rips her mouth from mine and moans long as she comes.

“Fuck, baby, I need inside you.”

“I—” She pauses, and I know I’m going home to take a cold shower.

“It’s too soon. I know.” I pull my fingers from her core and lick them clean, watching as her eyes dilate.
