Might I suggest that you proceed with caution? I know, I will.

“Sorry,” I sheepishly apologize. “Didn’t know you were the only one here, Erin’s car is outside.”

“I’m not the only one here.” she turns and lets me into the house. “Luke is upstairs getting ready to drive me to my appointment.”

“And Erin?” I casually ask following her to the kitchen area where I place the papers on the bar.

“Went out for a run . Didn’t feel like the gym,” she replies.

“Why isn’t Kellar taking you to the doc?”

“He’s at the gym but meeting us there. Heaven forbid I do anything baby related without him.”

With a crooked smile, I lean against the kitchen counter watching her pour herself a glass of chocolate milk. “Isn’t that supposed to be a good thing?”

“Right up until he wants to me to get, ‘What To Expect When You’re Expecting’ on audio book for us to listen to together before bed every night!” I stifle a laugh. She quickly bites, “It’s not funny, C.J.! Logan is losing his mind! He’s so over protective of this child that I’m convinced I may kill him before the baby is born.”

Do. Not. Laugh. Whatever you do, do not laugh right now. You’ll get us both in trouble.

“Kinda cute, Maxx.”

“Kinda annoying, C.J.” she responds in a snarky voice. After a drink of her milk she questions, “What are you doing here besides dropping off the papers Logan said he was going to grab from you tomorrow?” Guilty I look down at the counter and back up. “Ah. Erin. How is that going anyway?”

The memory of her screaming my name brings a grin to my face. “I’d say pretty well.”

“Did you just have a sex recap in front of my face?” Maxx makes a disgusted noise before another drink of milk. “Have you told her yet?”

I shake my head slowly. Curious I ask, “Did you know she hates lawyers?”

Maxx nods. “And airplanes. Hasn’t flown since her parents’ death; neither has Luke.”

“Neither has Luke what?” her brother appears at the bottom of the stairs in a beige turtle neck and jeans.

“Allowed me to indulge in the sweet pleasure of things high in sugar,” she covers for me.

Maxx gets me. She was in a similar situation with her husband before they hooked up. He tried to keep her at a distance and she wouldn’t stop fighting. Sound familiar? Only difference is he caved and I’m not sure Erin ever will.

“So the chocolate milk you are drinking before you doctor’s appointment is following diet protocol how?” Luke fusses.

I know he’s a nurse but he looks like and sounds like a fitness nutritionist most of the time when he lectures.

“I don’t think you should get to say the word protocol,” Maxx sighs putting the glass in the sink. “It sounds like a military attack is coming.”

The sound of the front door closing turns all of our attention to Erin who walks in wearing a pair of tiny black running shorts and a black tank top.

Yup. Need her naked.
