Somebody Like You (The Heartbreak Brothers 4)

Thank the Lord it was Josh and not Michael who’d snuck up on them.

“Of course, ho

ney.”

“He’s here for a few days. He told us he and Gemma want to take us away for the weekend. There’s this hotel with a waterpark inside it. Can we go?”

Mia blinked. Of course he’d want to spend more than an evening with them. He’d driven all the way from Wichita, after all.

“Let me talk to your dad later. You’ll miss football practice if you’re not here on Saturday.”

“I know, but I really want to go. Noah says the waterpark is amazing. There’s this giant bucket that empties water all over everybody.”

She glanced at Cam. He was watching them with interest, a tic popping on his jaw.

“I’m pretty sure you can go,” Mia told him. “I just need to hash out some details with your dad, okay?”

“Okay!” Josh grinned widely. “Thank you, Mom.” He ran back down the steps, to the front bench, where Niall and his girlfriend had taken a seat. Josh sat beside his dad, talking rapidly to him. Niall turned his head and looked up at where Mia was sitting.

She took a breath and raised her hand to wave at him. Niall blinked and waved back.

There, that wasn’t so bad. Maybe he’d actually stick around long enough to spend some time with his kids.

“So you’re free all weekend,” Cam murmured. “That’s interesting.”

“It is?”

“Yeah, it is. Forget about the naked rehab, let’s go away somewhere.”

“Away?” Mia blinked. “Where?”

“Somewhere that definitely doesn’t have a giant bucket that dumps water over everybody,” he told her, his face serious. “Though I can’t promise you won’t get wet.”

“Why do I think this is a bad idea?” she murmured, shaking her head.

“It’s the best idea.” His eyes softened. “Two whole days together. Naked.” He gave her a crooked grin. “If you prefer, you can stay at my place, though if your car’s parked in my driveway overnight people will definitely talk.”

“What if I don’t come at all?”

“Not an option. I promise I’ll always make you come.”

She laughed softly. “You’re a goof, you know that?”

“I’m a goof for you.”

Her heart did a little leap. “Shut up and go coach the team.”

Cam looked over his shoulder, as though he’d forgotten all about the football game. “Shit, yeah, I should go.”

“I hope you weren’t this uncommitted when you played pro,” she said with a grin.

“Luckily for the Bobcats, I didn’t know you then.” He stood, his strong body towering above her. “I’ll send you our travel details tomorrow.”

Our travel details. A fizz of excitement shot through her.

Forty-eight hours alone with Cam Hartson. She wasn’t sure either of them would survive it.

“Okay, you two need to go pack for your weekend. Your father’s picking you up right after school.” Mia took their empty plates. “Josh, I’ve laid out all your clothes on your bed. You just need to put them in your duffle bag and add any toys or books you want to take.”
