that.”
She stood, slid her fingers under the edge of his towel and wiggled them against his damp skin. “Thank you.”
“You’re welcome,” he groaned and moved her hand. “I’m going back upstairs to finish my shower.”
She raised an eyebrow. “Finish?”
With a hearty chuckle he shook his head and headed up the stairs.

Inside the office of the fire station, Travis ran a hand across his forehead as he processed Casey’s call, suspicious that his best friend hadn’t told him the whole story about the night’s events. Then again, the poor guy had been doused in pepper spray not too many hours ago. As concerned as he was about Annessa, he knew she was safe with Casey. But was Casey safe with her?
As long as he could remember, trouble always managed to find his sister. Or maybe it was the other way around. One way or another Annessa always ended up in the middle of something. He and Casey both had scars to prove it.
With a heavy sigh, he dialed his cell phone. Tonight’s plans would have to change.
Despite his disappointment, a smile split his lips when a breathy hello tickled his ear. “Hey, Verity.”
“What’s wrong?”
He frowned. “What makes you think there’s something wrong?”
“There are only two times you use my name and … we’re not having sex.”
Travis laughed out loud. The woman was entirely too perceptive. “You can’t imagine the evening I’ve had.”
“Try me.”
He relayed the night’s events, relieved to have a confidante. “Long story short, Annessa’s home,” he finished.
Verity’s light giggle oozed through the line and made a beeline for his cock. His anatomy recognized that same small noise as the one she made when his lips were buried between her legs, nibbling on her soft, wet flesh.
“Do you need me to take a look at Casey?”
“He’s fine. I’m more concerned about my sister. I think I should probably stay put tonight.”
“Absolutely,” she agreed, “but I’ll miss you.”
He scrubbed a hand down his jaw. “I’ll miss you like hell, Doc.” He released a long breath. “You could come by the house tomorrow night.”
A several seconds pause almost caused him to panic.
“Annessa is there,” she said finally.
He moved to the edge of the chair and braced his elbows on his knees. “Yes, she is. I’m just thinking maybe it’s time to come clean.”
“We made a deal,” she reminded him.
“My sisters are gown women. Hell, I’m surprised they haven’t figured it out yet.”
While he waited for her argument, he racked his brain for a logical rebuttal. Instead, another of those cock-choking giggles caused him to lose concentration.
“That’s not a decision we have to make tonight.” Her soft silky voice of reason tightened its grip on his dick. “Besides, we can play on the phone, if you’re game.”
He snapped his head up from between his knees and snickered as he stood to press the lock on the door. “Oh baby, you know I’m game.”
CHAPTER SIX
Annessa spent the whole next day nervous as hell. Partly because now she was sure someone followed her and partly because Casey was undeniably angry. Not to mention the fact that her brother wouldn’t let her out of his sight. So, there she sat on the steps of Engine Number Five in the middle bay of the Seaside Fire Department, watching Cpt. Travis Dupree shine the already-glistening fire truck.
“Come on , Travis. I’ll be fine. The alarm company was supposed to be finished by noon. It’s five o’clock.”
“No. Casey will be here to get you in a few minutes. Then you can go home and do whatever it is you two do when I’m not around.”
Suddenly, keeping company with her brother just got a whole lot more fun.
“So Trav,” she said as she braced her feet against the side of the truck, “what do you suppose Casey and I do when we’re all alone?”
“Don’t know and don’t care.” She noticed her brother’s biceps flex with the force of his
