“They are something else. And you know that if you ever need anything, they are there for you.” She checked her watch. “I should get back to work. Help yourself to whatever is in here, of course. There are freshpatisseriesfrom town.
With one more smile, Mathilde left the kitchen. When I was alone once more, I stepped over to the covered pastries on the table and looked them over, the arrangement making my mouth water. After some deliberation, I selected a cheese and cherry tart, taking a bite and letting out anmmmas the rich flavor took hold.
That and my coffee in hand, I stepped over to one of the windows looking out over the pool. The guys were still playing with Bobby, though I spotted Seth pushing himself out of the water, his muscles glistening. He said something to the guys, grabbing a towel.
He made his way toward the house, and I couldn’t take my eyes off his powerful body, or the way his swimsuit clung to his bulge.
Suddenly, I was hungry for something other than my little tart.
Chapter 18
Seth
Ihadn’t been able to get her off my mind.
Something about Gen’s outfit—the thin T-shirt, those little gray cloth shorts that showed off her long, perfect legs—had pulled all of my attention away from the morning swim.
“You heading in?” Sean asked from the pool.
“Yeah. Think I’m about done. Gonna hit the weights later and need to save my strength for that.”
I heard a snort, and a glance over my shoulder revealed Sean shaking his head in disbelief.
“What?” I asked.
“Nothing.” His reply was quick, Bobby splashing around him. “Go on in there and uh,save your strength.”
I lifted my eyes to Sam, who was already back at work on his computer. If he had any thoughts on the matter, he wasn’t sharing them.
“Whatever.” I threw up my hand as I made my way back inside.
Fact of the matter was that Sean had my number. When you had a twin, especially one as close as he and I were, hiding intentions wasn’t really an option. He’d likely seen the way I’d been looking at Gen and known that I had other things in mind.
Not wanting a scolding from Mathilde, I dried myself off in the back entry area and grabbed my navy-blue T-shirt that I’d hung up on one of the wall hooks before starting toward Gen’s room. It wasn’t long before I was approaching her door, which was cracked open just a bit. My cock was already half-hard as I raised my fist to knock.
“Yeah?” came the voice inside. “Who is it?”
“Seth. Mind if I come in?”
“Sure,” she replied. “Come on in.”
I pushed the door open and there she was, laying stomach-down on the bed with her long, lovely legs in the air, crossed at the ankles. She had her laptop open in front of her, hands hovering over the keys. She glanced over at me.
“What’s up?”
I took a couple steps into the room.
“Just wanted to check in on you,” I said. “You seemed a little frazzled out there.”
She pursed her lips then smiled. “Thanks. I guess I was running around like a crazy person thinking that I’d lost my job because I was careless enough to sleep in.”
“Sorry you had to deal with that. Sean’s a smart guy, but he can be a bit of a space cadet now and then.”
“It’s no problem at all.” She furrowed her brow for a moment before moving to sit up, setting her laptop aside. “It’s just… after last night I’ve realized how much I love it here with you guys.”
“We love having you here too, of course.”
She smiled again. I gestured toward the bed to sit down next to her, Gen eagerly nodding.
