ashae passed out the pieces, keeping her gaze on the board. If she looked at him, she was very likely going to explode. Her body still hummed with a delicious sense of awareness from last night.

“These pieces, they go—here?” Samantha asked.

Rashae leaned over and pointed at the spots on the board. She glanced at her sister, their gazes snagging before they both shifted their attention to their player boards.

Last night when Rashae dove down the hall to her room, she’d practically run into Sam coming up the stairs. Judging from the way her sister’s hair was messed up and the inside-out shirt, Rashae was pretty sure she wasn’t the only one sneaking around. Sam hadn’t asked her about Declan. Yet. But it was coming. And then what was she going to say?

Sam and Oliver were engaged.

Rashae and Declan were friends. They weren’t even dating.

She could already feel her sister’s judgment.

“Okay, so we move these pieces around the board, controlling an area and scoring victory points—or things that will lead to victory points, right?” Dad was thoroughly engrossed in the complicated game, which was a blessing.

Since this game allowed for five players, Oliver was giving it a go. The poor guy looked pretty overwhelmed. He might play checkers with their dad and run circles around the competition when it came to soccer, but board games were a whole other thing. Given the years of animosity between Sam and him, Oliver hadn’t joined their games more than a few times. There was a world of difference between checkers and this game.

Had Sam told Oliver? Did he know?

Rashae glanced at her future brother-in-law, but he was too focused on what Declan was saying. And really, she should be too, since they were about to start the first round of game play.

Sneaking around with Declan was totally irresponsible, and yet...she wanted to do it again. She’d never had a man make her...feel. Not the way he did. Sex wasn’t just a little sweaty action and no pay off with him. It was the real deal.

“Shae? Your turn,” her father said.

“Oh. Right.” She considered her options and the lay of the land.

Dad would play it safe, building up his army before he advanced. Sam might realize the importance of striking out first, but Rashae went first. Declan would...he would be the real danger. Poor Oliver was probably going to catch on halfway through and make an epic comeback, but for now, he wasn’t her concern. Declan was.

“Okay, there and—there. Sam?” Rashae moved her pieces around and wrapped up her turn.

“What else do you do besides manage the making of games, Declan?” Dad leaned back, eyes on the board.

“I manage the crowd fundin’ campaigns and stay on through fulfillment. I also manage the grounds of a historical house in old DC to keep the lights on.”

“Nothing wrong with that.” Dad shook his head. “I flipped burgers the first year I was mayor, before Shae was born. We owned this little diner. I sold it to a cousin who ran it into the ground.
