Chapter Sixteen

Sean drove home, feeling restless and frustrated and generally pissed off. Jessica was to blame, beautiful, sexy Jessica, with her big brown eyes, and soft full lips. She kissed like a dream. She made him lose all sense of time and place. He wanted her, and he couldn't have her. And he wasn't just falling back on some trumped up reason not to get involved in a relationship, like he'd done before. These reasons were real and undeniable and they were never going to go away.

Jessica was always going to be tied to his nephew, his sister, his family.

So what? He asked himself. What if things didn't go wrong? What if they went right?

But when the hell had they ever gone right?

Frowning, he got out of the car. As he walked up the driveway, his thoughts moved from Jessica to Kyle. Her little kid, with his blond hair and blue eyes, had looked at him like he was a hero. But it was nothing to fix a model airplane. He could do the easy stuff. The hard stuff was another matter.

And he'd seen the look in Jessica's eyes when she'd watched him with Kyle. Danger bells had gone off in his head. She was a single mom, looking for a dad for her kid. He wasn't father material. He wasn't husband material. He liked his freedom. His life was one of movement and change.

A sexy single mom and her cute kid weren't going to change all that. Were they?

He had to admit he enjoyed having dinner with them. He liked being part of a family again. He'd almost forgotten what that felt like. But Kyle and Jessica weren't his family. If anything, they belonged to the Callaways.

With a sigh, he unlocked his door. He was just about to step inside when he heard his name called.

He looked down the stairs and saw his father standing by the side door.

"Can you come down for a minute?" Jack asked.

He really wished he had a good reason to say no, but he didn't. So he nodded and walked back down the stairs.

Jack had disappeared into the house by the time he got there. Sean entered through the laundry room, walking into the big country kitchen that had been remodeled about ten years ago, but the large oak table where he'd done his homework still sat in its nook by the window.

His father was sitting at that table now. He had his computer open, and a mug of coffee sat next to it.

"Just made some coffee if you want some," Jack said.

"I'm good." Sean took a seat at the table. "What are you working on?"

"I'm catching up on some emails. There doesn't seem to be enough time in the day."

Sean nodded, already out of casual conversation. When it came to his dad, he never knew what to say.

"I spoke to Emma earlier." Jack lifted his gaze from the computer and fixed his sharp blue gaze on Sean's face. "She's looking into the Emery house fire.
