thing he knew, Bristol was leaning over him, her mouth seeking his as she whimpered. Although he couldn’t see beyond the fall of her hair, he knew Keegan had taken over, was fucking her from beneath, filling her to overflowing. All the while, Bristol tried to maintain the kiss until her body was being jarred too much.
When she lifted her head, he cupped her cheek, maintaining eye contact, watching her expressions flitter across her face as Keegan brought her to climax twice more before his twin came with a bed-rattling groan.

Keegan was content to lie in Bristol’s darkened room, his big body hugging the edge of the queen-size mattress, the sexy woman who’d blown his mind a few minutes ago snuggled up at his side.
Unlike the last time he’d found himself like this, he didn’t panic, didn’t open his big fucking mouth and say something stupid.
No, he just remained there, catching his breath and letting his body return to its normal state. That had been incredible, there was no denying it. As good as, if not better than their first night together. It was good to know he hadn’t been imagining the chemistry between them.
Bristol moved closer, her hand sliding over his chest, her fingers brushing his neck.
“You awake?” she whispered.
“Yeah.”
Her soft sigh wasn’t quite as content as he would’ve hoped it would be after that, but he did his best not to read anything into it.
“I need for us to keep this between us for now,” she said.
Keegan tensed and she pulled away immediately, pushing up to look down at him.
“It’s not bad,” she added quickly. “Just until I can figure out how to deal with it.”
“It?”
He watched her face, hated that he saw something very similar to regret there.
“This relationship.”
There was movement on the other side of the bed. Kaden was evidently awake.
“And the baby?” Kaden asked. “Are we supposed to keep that quiet, too?”
For once his brother didn’t sound like the easygoing, laid-back man Keegan knew him to be.
“For now, yes.”
“We can’t tell our family?” Keegan knew he sounded pissed but that was because he was quickly inching in that direction.
Bristol leaned in, her lips brushing his. “Just for a little while. Please. I know it won’t be easy, but…”
He waited for her to explain.
She didn’t.
“It’s not what you think,” she tacked on, kissing him again, softly, slowly.
Oh, it most definitely was.
And Keegan wasn’t sure whether he should be thrilled or worried that she was willing to seduce him in order to get what she wanted.
Chapter Fifteen
Travis woke early on Saturday morning. Before the sun, before even the kids had woken.
He’d spent last night in his recliner, having stayed up late with Kate, watching a movie until she fell asleep in his lap. At that point, he’d relocated her to her bed and headed for his own. Before he’d gotten his bedroom door open, he’d heard the sounds coming from inside. Kylie’s sexy moans, Gage’s raspy grunts.
Rather than interrupt their stolen moments, he’d gone back downstairs and settled in to think. He’d obviously fallen asleep.
To avoid waking the rest of the house, Travis tugged on his boots and headed for the resort. He had a shower in his office, which he took advantage of, changing into a spare set of clothes he kept there.
Now, he was sitting at his desk, finalizing the resort’s guest list for this year’s New Year’s Bash. It was late notice, but he knew a lot of their guests thought of this place as a spur-of-the-moment indulgence, somewhere they could sneak off to when that coveted invitation appeared in their mailbox. Rarely did anyone ever decline the invitation.
Last year they had forgone doing anything for the resort in lieu of making it a family affair. The Walkers had descended on the resort for Christmas, making it impossible to plan for a resort celebration, so this year, Travis was dedicating the holidays to the guests, making up for lost time, so to speak.
Not necessarily because he felt he owed the guests anything. No, this was personal. Selfish, he figured was a good description. Until he found Juliet Prince, he was no good to his own family. Hell, he could hardly look his daughter in the eye knowing he had failed her. Epically. And until he brought that woman to justice, proved to Kate she was safe once again, that she didn’t have to be held just to fall asleep, Travis knew he had to stay focused.
He reviewed the final name on the list, added
