Entice Me (Austin Singles 2)

I giggled. “I did at first, but I miss seeing your dimples.”

“Oh yeah? That’s good to know.”

My gaze searched his face. I never would have believed I could love a man like how I loved this one. The feelings I had for him were so strong I was often moved to tears just looking at him.

“I love you, Kaelynn Shae Whitaker,” he professed with so much emotion I felt a tear slip and make a path down my cold face. Lifting his hand, he brushed it away.

“And I love you, James Nathaniel Barrett. So very much.”

The moment our lips pressed together, it started to snow again. We laughed and Nash wrapped his arms around me, lifting me up and spinning me as we got lost in the beautiful moment.

The sounds of the snowmobile brought us out of our little bubble of heaven. Nash set me down next to him and then pulled me closer to his body, rubbing his hand up and down my arm.

“It’s Jack and Jill,” I said, rolling my eyes when Nash started singing the nursery rhyme.

Climbing off the two snowmobiles, Jill came rushing over to us.

“It’s freezing out here; get inside! The two of you don’t have coats on!”

Once we were in the house and the fire in the library had warmed Jack and Jill, I headed into the kitchen for something to snack on.

“Is your power back on?” I asked, walking back into the library.

“It came on earlier this morning,” Jill replied, taking the two trays I had made up with cheese, crackers, fruit, and veggies. “We figured yours had as well.”

“Yep, it came on earlier. We went and checked on Janet. They’re doing good.”

Jack grabbed the bag he had carried in and tossed a box to Nash. “Here you go, asshole. I’m going to pretend my kid sister didn’t call me earlier with a 911 condom emergency. My sisters are only allowed once in their lifetime to ask me for condoms; this was Kaelynn’s. Never again.”

My hands went to my mouth to hide both my laughter and embarrassment. Nash laughed and held up the box. “We’ll put them to good use. Is this all you brought?”

Jack growled and went to stand up when Jill pulled him back down. “Stop that. You promised you would behave.”

My brother grunted and looked away from Nash who tossed me a sexy smirk.

Clearing his throat and trying not to act pissed off, Jack spoke. “Looks like they’re starting to clear the roads. Did you hear on the news they’re thinking the airport will be open to some flights this evening maybe?”

Peeking over at Nash, I replied, “We haven’t really had the TV on at all. We’ve just been enjoying each other.”

Jack rolled his eyes. “Ugh, seriously, Kaelynn. I don’t need to hear this.”

I held up my hands. “What! I didn’t say we have been having sex all over the house. I said we haven’t had much time to watch TV.”

It was Nash’s turn to clear his throat. “Um, babe, you might want to stop while you’re ahead.”

Jack glared at me, then turned his attention on Nash. “You better not hurt her. I will hunt you down and rip your fucking head off if you do.”

Nash nodded and a wide grin spread over his face as he stared at me for a few moments, then focused back in on Jack. “I love your sister, Jack. Very much, and I honestly would rip my own fucking head off if I ever did anything to hurt her.”

Jill swooned, and Jack shot her a confused expression.

“That was so romantic,” Jill mused as Jack rubbed the back of his neck in confusion.

“How was that romantic, Jill?”

She shrugged. “Don’t worry, sweetie, you have your moments too.”

I wasn’t sure if I should laugh at the expression my brother shot his girlfriend. He looked at me and I raised a brow, almost urging him to do it.
