“Are you okay?” I looked at Zane searching to see if he was still upset.
“I’m surprisingly okay.” He gave me a reassuring nod. “And don’t worry, I’m not mad at you.”
“You’re not?” I looked over at him in surprise and he laughed.
“Shocker, right?” He shrugged. “I understand why you didn’t want to tell me. I don’t hold it against you. I most probably wouldn’t have told you, either.”
“So, we’re still brothers?”
“Try getting away from me.” He walked over to me and gave me a slap on the shoulder. “Now please pass me a cup of coffee.”
“Oh, sorry, I only made enough for two.”
“Right? One for me and one for you. Lucky can’t have caffeine right now.”
“Well, actually the other cup isn’t for you.”
“Huh?” He looked at me in confusion. “You’re going to drink two cups of coffee?”
“No,” I shook my head and bit my lip. “The other cup of coffee is for …”
“Me.” Robin’s voice rang out as she walked into the kitchen looking sexy as hell in just my shirt. “Good morning, everyone.” She smiled and looked at me shyly.
“Morning, gorgeous.” I walked over and gave her a big kiss. She wrapped her arms around me and kissed me back, pressing her chest against mine. It was at that point that I realized that she was naked underneath the shirt. I turned around and both Zane and Lucky were staring at me with shocked expressions.
“Hey, so Robin stayed over last night.” I grinned at both of them and watched as Zane looked at Robin’s body appreciatively.
“Hey, can we have a talk, Noah?” Lucky half smiled and half frowned.
“I’m sorry for not asking if I could have a houseguest.” I made a face.
“Don’t be silly.” Lucky shook her head. “This is your home, you can have who you want over.”
“We sure don’t mind.” Zane grinned at me and Lucky hit him in the arm and glared at him. “Don’t be jealous, honey.”
“I’m not jealous, ass.” Lucky blushed, and I felt bad that I may have inadvertently set her green monster off.
“Can we talk after I’ve had a shower, Lucky?” I walked over to her and gave her a kiss on the cheek.
“Yes.” She smiled at me and shook her head before looking over at Robin. “It’s good to see you, Robin.”
“You too, Lucky.” Robin smiled back at her and walked over to me. “Is that coffee ready? I’m about to fall back asleep.”
“Well, if the coffee doesn’t wake you up. I know something that will.”
“Oh, really?” she purred.
“Really.” I leaned towards her.
“And what would that be?” She leaned towards me and I felt my body heating up.
“Well, it would consist of …”
“Guys, we are still in the kitchen.” Zane cleared his throat and grabbed Lucky’s arm. “Though I think Lucky and I will just go out for breakfast.”
“Oh, sorry. You don’t need to do that.” Robin blushed and shook her head. “Please don’t leave because of me.”
“No worries. It will give Lucky a break from cooking.” Zane rubbed Lucky’s back and she leaned into the crook of his arm. “You guys can come as well, if you want.”
“That sounds great.” Robin responded at the same time that I started shaking my head.
“Well, I guess we can go.” I said reluctantly. I didn’t want to leave the house. I just wanted to go back to bed and ravish Robin some more.
“You don’t want to just keep me in the bedroom, do you, Noah?” Robin raised an eyebrow and Lucky laughed.
“You tell him,” she giggled.
“Of course not.” I kissed Robin again. “We have plenty of time to eat and then come back to the bedroom.”
“Noah!” Both Robin and Lucky glared at me while Zane laughed.
“I didn’t mean it like that.” I put my hands up. “I was cornered into that statement.”
“Really?” Robin looked up at me with a devious smile. “I didn’t see anyone corner you.”
“Well, you know.” I laughed. “I’m a guy, it happens to us all the time.”
“Sure.” Robin laughed and backed away from me. “I’m going to go and shower. I’d love to go to breakfast. I have to get to work by noon.”
“Oh, no.” I groaned. “I wanted to spend the day with you.”
“Sorry,” she smiled sweetly. “I have to make money, and I took off yesterday after Zane came into the restaurant last week saying he really needed me to come and see you.”
“I was wondering how Zane set that up yesterday.” I laughed. “I’m glad to hear that it wasn’t too complicated.”
“I think I’m going to go shower as well.” Lucky smiled. “Shall we go up, Robin?”
“Let’s do it.” Robin leaned up and gave me a long deep kiss before walking out of the kitchen. I watched her walk out and then turned to Zane who was giving me a bemused look.
“What’s so funny?” I rolled my eyes at him.
“You look like you’re sprung.”
“Sprung? Who says that?” I laughed and sipped some of my coffee as my heart pounded.
“I say that.” He laughed. “And trust me, I recognize sprung when I see it.”
“Zane, every guy looks sprung after a night of good sex.”
“You dirty dog.” He winked at me. “I guess you have been in drought, huh?”
“I had sex in Palm Bonita.” I laughed and shook my head. “Though this is not a conversation I want to have.”
“Well, we both know we’re Beaumonts.” He laughed. “We can both get laid anywhere.”
“It’s not about the sex.” I shook my head and rolled my eyes at him. “And if Lucky heard you right now she would kill you and then leave you.”
“What’s the point of leaving me if I’m dead?” He laughed, but then his eyes grew dark and more serious. “Seriously, though, I hope you know what you’re doing. Sex is great, but Robin looks like she’s not the sort of girl to just have casual sex.”
“I’m not using her, Zane.”
“I know you’re not that type of guy, but you know, just be careful. I know things are complicated with you.”
