spoke, unfolding from deep inside him. “You
can’t plug in a given set of values and solve for x. Two virtual strangers might look
at each other across a crowded room and know … while for others, it might take years
as coworkers—friends—to understand the truth.”
Keeping his gaze steadily locked on his brother, heart hammering at even the thought
of glancing at Jessica, Logan saw the moment Dylan realized that he had at least one
brother’s support. The gratitude and relief on his face was almost enough to knock
Logan off his feet.
But he managed to keep his balance—until he had an armful of warm, soft, trembling
woman.
Staring down at Jessica in stunned surprise, Logan murmured, “What are you doing?”
“For a genius, sometimes you’re kind of slow on the uptake,” she said, a beaming smile
breaking through the tears rolling down her pink cheeks. “Kiss me, Logan.”
“But what about—mmmf…” Logan broke off his question about Miles with a happy groan,
wrapping his arms around Jessica tightly enough to pull her fully against him.
If she didn’t care that she was kissing Logan directly in front of her boss, Logan
wasn’t going to be the one to remind her. Not when he had the taste of her in his
mouth, the sweet smell of her in his lungs, and the lush curves of her body in his
hands.
And when the kiss finally broke, purely for lack of oxygen, Logan looked up to see
Dylan giving him a wink as he steered their shocked oldest brother down the path to
the deck at the back of the restaurant to finish their conversation there.
“Looks like your impassioned speech about love didn’t manage to completely convince
Miles,” Jessica observed.
Logan adored the breathless tone of her voice, the way she could sound so serene and
amused even as her body tried to mold itself to his.
“As long as it convinced you,” he said roughly.
A note of uncertainty threaded through as she replied, “You convinced me that I was
wrong—you do know what love is. But if you wanted to be completely explicit about
what you think is happening here between you and me, I wouldn’t complain.”
Which was her wordy, professional way of asking what the hell Logan intended. In response,
Logan dropped a kiss on her uptilted nose.
“What I think is happening is that I love you. And you love me. And maybe we’re both
still figuring out what that means for us, and how to make it work—but I know I want
to try. If you’re willing to take a chance on trying to have it all, I want to be
the man who shares it with you.”
Misty moisture clouded her green eyes, and she did that bewildering laughing-while-crying
thing again, but Logan didn’t let it bother him. Because she was also nodding, and
kissing every inch of his face and neck that she could reach, and as the sun of Sanctuary
Island beat down on their bare heads and gulls wheeled overhead and his lab sat empty
hundreds of miles away, Logan had never been happier.
Yep, he thought smugly as he dipped Jessica to make her laugh and nipped at the tender
side of her neck to make her shiver. I am definitely a genius.
A Q & A with Lily Everett
1. The Billionaire Brothers novellas take place on Sanctuary Island, a beautiful island
preserve for wild horses. Is it based on a real place? And if not, what was the inspiration?
There are actually several islands off the east coast of the United States that are
home to bands of wild horses. I grew up in Virginia, just a few hours from Assateague
Island, a breathtakingly beautiful nature preserve. And I thought … what if there
were a friendly little town full of interesting people who live side by side with
the wild horses?
2. This trilogy follows three brothers with very different personalities. If you got
to choose, which brother would you end up with? The bad boy, the sexy genius, or the high-powered alpha male?
