CHAPTER ELEVEN

—Lea

Lea had known right away that Erickson was Fox’s brother. They had the same stormy eyes, olive complexion. The main difference was Erickson’s hair was brown like Karrigans. He seemed much more down to earth than Karrigan. Going by demeanor alone, one wouldn’t expect that he and Karrigan were twins.

Fox was right, it had been very awkward when introductions came along. Lea wanted to speak up and take the pressure off of Fox, but she didn’t know how to refer to herself. What was right and what was wrong? Going by the contents of the flash drive alone, they were a heck of a lot more than friends. She was coming down off her high from her erotic massage. Had that really happened?

Fox opened up the room and stepped aside for Lea to enter first.

Inside Lea took an extended look around. “Wow,” she said, “this room is breathtaking.”

“Thank you.”

Fox gestured to the wet bar. “Can I get you a drink?”

“No, thanks. I think I had my limit for drinks on this trip.”

“Okay, what about” he removed a cover from a large contraption on top of the bar “an espresso.”

Lea covered her mouth with her hand. This was no cheap espresso machine. It was identical to the one she watched the baristas use at Starbucks.”

“I got it just for you,” Fox said.

“Oh, wow. It’s awesome. But if I’m going to try to sleep tonight, I should probably wait till morning to brew some.”

“Hmm,” Fox said. “Good point. We need to calm you down. I know.” He grabbed her hand. “Upstairs.”

She followed him up the spiral staircase to a fabulous rooftop terrace with clear Plexiglas all around the perimeter. The sparkling lights of the city naturally lit the area. With a flip of a switch, the hot tub lights turned on and the water bubbled.

“Want to take a dip?” Fox asked.

“I’d love to,” Lea said, “but I didn’t bring my swimsuit.”

“No one can see us. You don’t need a swimsuit.”

Lea bit her lip, crossed her arms around herself.

Fox stepped up, put his hands on her face, tilting it upward. “Lea, your body is a perfect. I thought we established that.”

“You established that. Not me.”

Suddenly, Lea was regretting wearing her off–the–shoulder sundress. Fox slipped behind her, unzipped the back, and tugged it down to the ground.

Thanks to Karrigan’s input, Lea wasn’t wearing panties. Great. That idea was great and all if she simply wanted to feel sexy, but standing bare naked in front of Fox like this was another story. She’d imagined him undressing her in bed with all the lights off.

Now she had an all–encompassing urge to jump in as fast as possible. But she paced herself so her ass cheeks wouldn’t jiggle. She walked down the steps of the in–ground hot tub and sat. “Aaaah.” She closed her eyes as the heat enveloped her. By the time she opened them again, Fox was sitting on the bench across from her. She looked past him and saw his black pants on the ground, boxers inside.
