CHAPTER NINETEEN

"Daddy!" Mary Kate's shrill voice broke the sensual mood. She ran at him full tilt, followed by her sister.

Mary Kate took a flying leap when she'd almost reached him. Wade caught her easily, swinging her up in his arms. Ashley clutched at his leg.

"Me want daddy, too," she said.

He ruffled her hair while enduring the sloppy kisses Mary Kate plastered on his cheek. Then he bent down to deposit Mary Kate on the floor. Ashley immediately assaulted his other cheek with kisses

"Now that's the kind of greeting a man could get used to," he said, laughing.

"Maybe I should come over there, too," Lorelei said in a husky voice. "Except it wouldn't be your cheek I aimed for."

Her gaze did a slow slide up his body, touching on various body parts before settling on his lips. The heat blasted him again. He willed it not to reach his face but felt a blush rise from his neck. She grinned. Darnit.

He stood, pushing his glasses up his nose to give himself time to get under control. It wasn't enough time.

"Hello, Lorelei," he said. "What are you doing here?"

She turned off the music, thrust her lower lip out in a pretty pout, then sashayed across the room toward him.

"What kind of greeting is that? I'd suggest something more along the lines of, 'Hot damn. It's good to see you, babe.'"

"Hot damn," Mary Kate repeated.

"Damn," said Ashley.

"Don't swear, girls," Wade chastised, raising a scolding eyebrow at Lorelei. Even as he lifted it, he wondered when he'd become so uptight. "I don't refer to women as babes.”

She walked toward him in such a way that all her attributes swayed. "Then can I call you babe? Because that's what you are."

He swallowed, trying to get control of the heat rushing toward him as though released from a furnace. A cold shower seemed in order but rushing for the bathroom would be inappropriate.

"You haven't told me what you're doing here," he reminded her.

"I'm babysitting. I told the girl you hired she could leave. She seemed nice enough, but I wouldn't recommend that you call her again."

"Of course I'm not calling her again. She left the girls with you when she'd never seen you before."

"Cut her a break," Lorelei said. "She thought I was your girlfriend."

He felt the blood drain from his face.

"Oh, don't look like that. Even if I hadn't said so, she would have jumped to that conclusion because of all the presents I brought."

He arched an eyebrow. "Presents?"

"I was in Macy's and couldn't resist!” If shopping made her this excited, he wondered what sex would do to her. Stop it, he scolded himself. “M.K., show your Daddy what I got you."

"Pretty dress," Mary Kate said, executing a pirouette. Ashley followed her sister's example, spinning round and round until the two girls twirled like tops.

"I got Ash a yellow one just like it, but she took it off almost immediately,” Lorelei said. “She says she likes to be naked but I made her put on panties and a T-shirt.
