Sam had no idea what in hell had possessed him to let Maddy come out to his property tonight. Chase and Anna were not going to let this go ignored. In fact, Anna was already starting to make comments about the fact that he hadn’t been around for dinner recently. Which was why he was there tonight, eating as quickly as possible so he could get back out to his place on the property before Maddy arrived. He had given her directions to go on the road that would allow her to bypass the main house, which Chase and Anna inhabited.

“Sam.” His sister-in-law’s voice cut into his thoughts. “I thought you were going to join us for dinner tonight?”

“I’m here,” he said.

“Your body is. Your brain isn’t. And Chase worked very hard on this meal,” Anna said.

Anna was a tractor mechanic, and formerly Chase’s best friend in a platonic sense. All of that had come to an end a few months ago when they had realized there was a lot more between them than friendship.

Still, the marriage had not transformed Anna into a domestic goddess. Instead, it had forced Chase to figure out how to share a household with somebody. They were never going to have a traditional relationship, but it seemed to suit Chase just fine.

“It’s very good, Chase,” Sam said, keeping his tone dry.

“Thanks,” Chase said, “I opened the jar of pasta sauce myself.”

“Sadly, no one in this house is ever going to win a cooking competition,” Anna said.

“You keep me from starving,” Sam pointed out.

Though, in all honesty, he was a better cook than either of them. Still, it was an excuse to get together with his brother. And sometimes it felt like he needed excuses. So that he didn’t have to think deeply about a feeling that was more driving than hunger pangs.

“Not recently,” Chase remarked. “You haven’t been around.”

Sam let out a heavy sigh. “Yes, sometimes a man assumes that newlyweds want time alone without their crabby brother around.”

“We always want you around,” Anna said. Then she screwed up her face. “Okay, we don’t always want you around. But for dinner, when we invite you, it’s fine.”

“Just no unexpected visits to the house,” Chase said. “In the evening. Or anytime. And maybe also don’t walk into Anna’s shop without knocking after hours.”

Sam grimaced. “I get the point. Anyway, I’ve just been busy. And I’m about to be busy again.” He stood up, anticipation shooting through him. He had gone a long time without sex, and now sex with Maddy was about all he could think about. Five years of celibacy would do that to a man.

Made a man do stupid things, like invite the woman he was currently sleeping with to come to his place and to come see his art. Whatever the hell she thought that would entail. He was inclined to figure it out. Just so she would feel happy, so he could see her smile again.

So she would be in the mood to put out.
