Chapter Seven

“So you and Charlie sitting in a tree… K. I. S. S. I. N. G.”

Logan glanced over his shoulder at his brother’s teasing grin. And groaned. “Get lost, Lyle.” He turned back to the French toast he was making for his supper.

He’d expected Lyle to be smug and unsubtle about what had happened between him and Charlotte, but he had hoped to avoid the ambush until tomorrow morning—in the hope that Lyle might have gotten the message after all the noise they’d been making and gone into town.

No such luck.

Lyle patted him on the back. “Stop pretending to be a bear. I can see that secret smile on your face, man. The one that says you just got laid. And even if I couldn’t see it, I sure as hell heard how much fun you were having. Admit it, you owe me for suggesting Charlie hang out here. That girl is seriously hot and you just scored.”

“Fair warning, bro.” Logan glared at him. “You mention her and scoring in the same sentence again and you’re going to get your face rearranged.” He dumped the toast on his plate. And concentrated on not punching the smug grin off his brother’s face.

Maybe he did have a secret smile. The sex had been spectacular and Charlotte had seemed enthusiastic about them having more. Which was all good, because he was already thinking about getting his hands on her again. But he did not like Lyle speaking about her so disrespectfully. She might be refreshingly uninhibited about sex talk—but he wasn’t. Especially not where his brother and the woman he was sleeping with were concerned.

Lyle lifted his hands in a defensive gesture, the smug smile getting smugger. “Hey, backing off, big bro. No need to get territorial. Charlie and I are just friends.”

“I know that,” Logan said, pouring syrup on his toast—while struggling to ignore the renewed prickle of jealousy.

Which was just plain dumb. And not like him. He didn’t usually get possessive about women. Both Charlotte and Lyle had made it plain there was nothing between them. And Charlotte had agreed to his suggestion of a mutually satisfying sexual relationship while she was here. And anyway, even if there had been any chemistry between her and Lyle, he knew for all his joking around his brother would never poach. Especially not now Logan had staked a claim.

But the spike of jealousy still stuck in his craw as he swallowed down the bite of toast, recalling the sight of Charlotte’s hand skimming down Lyle’s spine and getting perilously close to his butt.

Damn, he was going to have to get a grip, because she was due to be taking shots of all the other guys, ten other guys to be exact, in the next couple of weeks.

“Where is she now?” Lyle asked as he reached over to tear off a corner of Logan’s toast and pop it in his mouth.

“She’s in her darkroom.” He’d asked her if she wanted some supper, but she’d told him she’d already eaten.
