Chapter Four

Zac sensed something was bothering Tacy, but whatever it was, she didn’t seem inclined to share. He walked to the camper door, unlocked it and waited as she stepped inside.

“Hey. This is really great.” Tacy spun around slowly, taking in his temporary home as he remained by the door and watched her.

“Yeah. It’s not bad, is it?”

“Nice of your friend to let you borrow it.”

Zac shrugged. “Ned is actually more like family. He and my brother, Justin, are partners in a marketing firm and best friends. They’re also…” He paused, wondering what Tacy would think of his brother’s marital dynamics. They didn’t really broadcast the unorthodox relationship to strangers, but everyone in their close circle of friends knew that Justin was in a committed ménage relationship.

“Also?” she prompted. Then her face cleared. “Oh, are they dating too?”

Zac shook his head. “Not exactly.”

Her confusion was adorable and he couldn’t resist tapping her crinkled-up nose as she waited for him to explain.

“They’re both married to the same woman.”

Her frown deepened. “That’s not legal.”

He lifted his hands, palms toward her. “Bella is legally married to Justin, but committed to both him and Ned.”

Tacy looked intrigued. “And it works? They’re all happy?”

“Yeah. Expecting their first kid in a month or so. Truth is, my foster sister, Dani, is in the same type of relationship.”

“Ménages run in the family?”

Zac chuckled. “Not for all of us.”

“Not you?”

“No. Not me.” Zac had seen Justin with his partners, and Dani with hers, and he’d been fascinated by the dynamics and happy that his siblings had found not one, but two people to spend the rest of their lives with. However, Zac had always known he was destined for coupledom, not a threesome. “Why? You interested in trying something like that?”

Tacy was quick to shake her head. “Good God, no. Not that there’s anything wrong with it for them. I’m just…well…I’ll be lucky to find one person willing to put up with my crap for a lifetime. Can’t imagine there are two such patient souls roaming the earth.”

Zac knew she meant her words as a joke, but something told him there was a thread of truth buried in the comment as well. Did she really believe herself difficult? Unlovable? Because he hadn’t found a single flaw in her yet.

Granted, it had only been a day, but he’d spent far less time with other women and found plenty to keep him from pursing another date with them.

“Wait. Did you say Dani? You don’t mean Dani Lewis, the singer?”

Zac nodded. “Yep. That’s her. For the record, I’m also related to Jett Lewis, the writer and my other brother, Noah, just won the grand prize on the TV show Food Fight. That was why I traveled to Vegas. The whole family went to see him in the finale.”

Tacy’s mouth hung open for just a second before she managed to close it. “That’s incredible. And your other siblings?”

“Chloe’s a photographer and Caliph is one of the best tattoo artists in New Orleans. A family full of creative types.
