CHAPTER 16

TRIXIE

Itry to scoot away, but there’s nowhere to go. Colt squeezes a little tighter on my leg, one corner of his mouth tipping up, and I kick him under the table. He doesn’t flinch, making small talk with my brother like absolutely nothing out of the ordinary’s happening beneath the table. Meanwhile, every nerve ending in my body’s lighting up and I’m lightheaded. I pick up my wineglass to take another drink, then think better of it and set it down again.

“Did you boys know Colt is in movies?” Danny asks William and Lucas, handing the plates over to my nephews.

“Really?” Lucas’s eyes go wide as he stares across the table at Colt in awe. “That’s so cool! Are you Spiderman?”

Colt chuckles, the deep rumble causing achy twinges between my legs. His laugh is sexy as hell, all low and gravelly, and I wish I wasn’t sitting at my brother’s dinner table right now. I’d much rather be sprawled out on the little round table back at the apartment, Colt’s face between my thighs.

“No, dude. Not Spiderman. But I do climb really high sometimes, just like Spidey. But I have a spotter and a net and take a bunch of safety precautions—do not try this at home.”

“Right. No climbing,” Ana warns the boys and they both bob their heads up and down obediently.

“Except for the tree. We can still climb the tree, right?” Lucas asks, his brows squished together.

“Yeah, you can climb the tree. If Mom or I are around to help. But not by yourself. Got it, champ?” Danny asks and Lucas shrugs.

“Sure.”

Ten bucks that kid’s scaling the tree solo by the end of kindergarten.

“Trix, how’s the reno going?” Danny asks before shoving a bite of mashed potato in his mouth.

Colt’s fingers tiptoe higher up my leg and my pussy spasms, cogent thought scrambling around in my brain. It’s hard to formulate words with Colt touching my body, his clean scent swirling around me, heat rolling off his skin.

“Um…” I fish around for something innocuous to say.

“We pulled all the flooring up today. Trix ordered tile and tomorrow we’ll start staining the beams.” Colt swoops in, rescuing me, and I flash him a grateful smile.

Ana doesn’t miss the exchange, frown lines etched between her brows.

“Wow, y’all accomplished a lot already. I can come help on the weekends, Trix, if you need me,” Danny says and I smile.

“Thanks, that’s nice of you.”

“Don’t forget about T-ball, Danny. We’re on snacks this weekend.”

“Oh, right.” Danny nods, his plate almost clean. I’ve taken a grand total of three bites of food, too nervous and amped to eat.

“I promised William I’d come to the game. Maybe after that we can squeeze in a few hours of reno?” I suggest.

“Yeah, I can probably make that work.”

“That’d be great. The more hands, the better,” Colt says, inching my dress up my thigh. The fabric tickles my skin as the skirt climbs higher and higher, the air cold on my heated skin. I want to slap Colt’s hand away, but don’t dare make a move.
