Ethan downed the last of the beer he’d been nursing all night. It was his and Jackson’s personal brew. They had never much cared for drinking wine and as teenagers had rebelled against their parents by brewing their own beer. It wasn’t the underage drinking that bothered them, either, but simply the choice of spirits.

He chuckled to himself as he grabbed another bottle, his third to Jackson’s fifth. Though they could put away quite a few pitchers, neither of them rarely got shit-faced. It just wasn’t the way they were raised. As teens, their friends used to envy that the Stones were constantly surrounded by booze, but to the twins and everyone else in the family, it was no big deal. They had no desire to get fall-down drunk. That was for pansies and assholes, not real men, their fathers had told them when they were kids.

Ethan could tell that something troubled Jackson, based on the way he was drinking. It was more than usual, and it didn’t take much for Ethan to realize what the source of his twin’s troubles had to be. He knew because he was feeling it, too.

He sighed as he crouched to sit beside his brother on their porch step, which provided a nice view of the family’s vineyard.

“Aren’t you two a fine pair.” Wes chuckled as he walked from his ceramics studio on the family property and sat down. “Only one thing could cause that look on your faces. So, who is it?”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Ethan didn’t feel much like talking about it, knowing there wasn’t any point. He knew talk was cheap and a girl like Lily demanded action, not flowery words.

“It’s Lily. Lily Chisholm,” Jackson supplied with a scoff.

“Little Lily? I haven’t seen her in ages.”

“Well, she’s all grown up now.” Jackson let out a low whistle and looked off into the distance. “Grown in all the right places.”

“I’m surprised the Chisholm brothers would let her out of their sight.”

“Did someone say Chisholm?” Brock, the eldest brother, rounded the corner.

“Yep.” Wes glanced at his brother. “Seems like our little brothers here have it bad for the Chisholm girl. Apparently, she isn’t a kid anymore.”

“Why in the hell would you want to mess with a Chisholm? The family’s made up of a bunch of short-tempered know-nothings. Besides, weren’t you forbidden from speaking to her?”

“That was almost ten years ago,” Ethan said. He couldn’t imagine that still mattering to the Chisholm brothers, but then again, he learned long ago never to underestimate them.

“Plus, we have to talk to her now ’cause we’re working together,” Jackson added.

“Still, messing with Seth and Jason’s baby sister is doing nothing but asking for a world of hurt.” Brock chuckled. “And I think you two are too pretty to want to get your faces messed up.”

“Shut up, Brock,” Ethan said, his hands instinctively balling into fists. “You don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“Touchy, touchy. Wes was right. You do have it bad.”

“Why don’t you just shut your mouth and get back to picking out china patterns?” Jackson said.
