hear it…she walked into
Brandon’s office and you claimed her on the
spot. Even went so far as to kick our brother
out of his own office,” Sinjin snickered.
Brandon laughed harder remembering
Tristan’s reaction to Alisha. Brandon missed
being with his brothers like this. Usually it was
Sinjin and Brandon trying to get Tristan to
lighten up.
Brandon glanced between his two
brothers—taking in both their looks and
temperament. They were different in some
ways, and yet the same. Tristan was always
dark and brooding. He wore his I-don’t-give-a-
shit expression for everyone to see. Sinjin, on
the other hand, was mostly expressionless. He

had an air of danger around him. Brandon
knew that Sinjin had seen and done things that
neither he nor Tristan could ever imagine.
“Brandon, I’ll stop by to see you in New
York when I return. You better have my sister-
in-law back by then, and I don’t mean three
weeks from now. Hell, if anybody deserves to
be together and be happy, it’s you and
Dominique. Don’t let other’s misconceptions or
misguided values keep you from your woman.”
Sinjin looked at his watch and cursed. “I have
to get out of here.” He got up, embraced
Brandon hard, and then did the same to
Tristan.
“Yeah I have to get out of here, too,”
Tristan said. “I left Alisha up in the room. I
know she’s wondering what’s going on.”
“Tristan—”
“Don’t worry, Brandon, I don’t like
keeping secrets from my wife, but this story is
yours and Dominique’s to tell,” he said.
“Speaking of Alisha…Tristan, where’s
Asia off to next?” Sinjin asked.
“What do you mean where’s Asia off too?
I have no idea as I don’t keep tabs on my sister-
in-law.”

“Can you ask your wife for me…on the
down low, of course?” Sinjin asked.
“No, I cannot ask my wife. By that gleam
in your eye, I’m guessing you’re trying to hook
up with Asia, which is totally out of the
question. And don’t think I didn’t notice you
checking her out at the wedding. Leave Asia
alone, Sin, she’s not like those other women
you bed. She’s out of your league. Besides that,
her brothers will straight kill you if you mess
with their baby sister. Trevon is bat-shit crazy
over his sisters. So move on,” Tristan glared at
Sinjin
“No can do. Ms. Asia is mine. I’m not
worried about her brothers. Besides that, my
woman can hold her own,” he said smugly.
“Your woman? How the hell is she your
woman and you don’t even know where she is?”
Tristan asked with a shake of his head. “And, if
she’s your woman, how come you couldn’t get
the information you seek from her yesterday?”
“I tried. She told me to ‘ fuck off. ’” Sinjin
scowled at Tristan.
Brandon laughed out loud and so did
Tristan. “I’m going to have to agree with
Tristan on this one, Sin. I believe she can hold
her own. Especially considering that present

she gave Alisha. Still, Asia is way out of your
league. You need to tread lightly where she’s
concerned,” Brandon remarked.
“Thank you, Brandon,” Tristan said. “If
you need to talk, call me.”
“I will. Thanks again for listening. I’ll tell
Mom and Dad soon enough. Although, I don’t
want to feel the wrath of Sarah Cameron,” he
tried to joke.
“She’s going to be hurt, Brandon. You
can’t blame her. She tried to take my head off
for keeping her in the dark about that situation
with my wife. She’ll understand, though, if you
give her some time,” Tristan said.
“I know. See you guys later. I need to get
ready to leave this place, too. I have a long day
tomorrow.”
“How’s everything going at the office?”
Tristan asked.
“It’s coming along great. David’s back,
and we’re finally starting to get some
semblance of order around there. It will all
work out eventually,” Brandon responded.
