Aggravated, Reese wondered how long it would take Jack to spread the word to Drew and Holden that not only was he at Antonelli's for dinner with Shelby and the boys, but he was also taking Alex and Zach camping for the weekend. Knowing Jack, Reese doubted his brother had made it to his car before sending a group text.

He also didn't doubt Jack would make a much bigger deal about Shelby's presence at dinner than him taking the boys camping for the weekend. Unless Jack found out Shelby might join them. Reese didn't even want to think about his brothers' reactions if that happened.

With luck, they'd be well on their way to Willow Falls in the morning before Drew or Holden showed up to razz him about how out of character it was for him to quit work early on a Friday, drive into town for dinner at Antonelli's, and leave Lone Oaks in the hands of his foreman for the entire weekend while he and the boys went camping.

Of course, somewhere along the way, his brothers would also find a way to tie Reese's deviation from his usual workaholic routine to Shelby. Which, in turn, would provide more fodder for further speculation and innuendo. And all because he’d made a spur-of-the-moment decision to treat Shelby and his boys to dinner instead of eating at home.

On the same freaking night and at the same freaking restaurant as Jack and Tess.

What was that saying? If it weren't for bad luck, he'd have no luck at all. Yeah, after the interlude with Jack, Reese felt that.

"Guess we won't have to worry about dessert then," Shelby replied as a slow smile creased her cheeks, stabbing Reese in the chest.

Okay, so maybe his luck wasn't all bad.

Zach rolled his gaze toward Shelby. "That depends on what they have." His bright blue eyes gleamed.

"Yeah, I sure could go for one of those brownies piled high with ice cream and chocolate sauce sliding all over it," Alex chimed in.

"With a cherry on top," Zach added, licking his lips.

"But you're stuffed," Reese reminded him.

He sat up a little straighter and patted his stomach. "I think I can feel a little room opening up."

All three of them cracked up at Zach's deadpan response, and Shelby's throaty laugh enveloped Reese in a seductive cloud. But when she pulled his son against her side for a one-armed hug, Reese's heart nearly stopped.

"You're something else, you know that?" Shelby said.

"But I can still have dessert, right?" Swinging his guileless blue eyes up at her, Zach snuggled closer to Shelby's side.

"I'd say that's up to your father."

But Reese's focus wasn't on the conversation about dessert. Instead, he was mesmerized by Shelby's laughter and the ease with which she related to and connected with his sons. Her genuine and sincere reactions to whatever they said or did. And her natural and unguarded interactions with them.

She absolutely captivated him.
