“You and your wife are expecting a second set of twins! Why that’s absolutely wonderful, Kyle.”

Awareness flowed through Sterling’s body as he leaned back in his chair and watched Colby conversing with Kyle as the three of them enjoyed an after dinner drink.

Unbidden, his gaze was drawn to her mouth. He couldn’t help but remember how good it tasted and how soft it had felt beneath his as he plied it with languid strokes of his tongue.

Almost instantly, as if she’d been able to read his thoughts, Colby’s gaze turned and met his.

“Isn’t that right, Sterling?” she asked.

Sterling blinked when he realized both Colby’s and Kyle’s eyes were on him. It suddenly became apparent he’d been asked a question. “I’m sorry, what was the question? My mind was elsewhere.”

He frowned when he saw Kyle’s grin. He’d been caught gawking at Colby again.

“I was just telling Kyle that we’re having girls.”

“Girls?”

“Yes, all our babies will be girls.”

Sterling released a deep agitated sigh. Thinking Colby was apparently laying it on thick for Kyle’s benefit, when he himself didn’t want to do so because of the smirk he saw on Kyle’s face, he met her gaze directly and said, “You and I will have only one child and it will be a boy. I’ve told you there aren’t any girls born into the Hamilton family.”

Colby turned to Kyle and said, “In that case, when our daughter is born it will truly be one special moment, don’t you think?”

Smiling widely, Kyle nodded in agreement. “I don’t see how it won’t be, Colby.”

Sterling raised his eyes to the ceiling. It was apparent that Kyle was quite taken with Colby and had been ever since introductions were made before dinner. The fact that his best friend had taken an immediate liking to Colby had been surprising. To most people, Kyle was not a man of many words and by nature he was usually guarded, restrained. But that wasn’t the case tonight. Somehow Colby had managed to wiggle her way through Kyle’s shield and engage him in the topic he loved best—his wife and children.

After a few more minutes of conversation, during which Sterling felt like an outsider, Colby stood and said, “Well, I know you two have additional business to discuss so I’ll leave you now.”

When both men stood, she turned to Kyle. “Although Sterling and I haven’t set a date for our wedding, I hope that both you and your wife will be there.”

Kyle’s smile deepened. “Oh, I plan to be there. Sterling and I agreed a while back that if he ever got married, I’d be his best man.”

Colby smiled. ‘That’s wonderful, and I’ll look forward to seeing you again. And I hope to one day meet your wife and children.”

“I’m sure you will.”

“Good night, Kyle.”

“Good night, Colby.”

Then she walked over to Sterling. On tiptoe she leaned up and kissed his cheek. “Good night, Sterling.”

Not waiting for his response she walked out of the room and up the stairs.

The room was silent for a minute or two before Kyle spoke.
