miserable.
“So do you want a boy or a girl?” Cameron rambled on. “What about names? I really like—”
Sean shot to his feet. “Screw this.” His outburst silenced everyone.
Wading through the water, he stopped before Sydney. She gazed up at him with surprise widening her eyes, especially when he grabbed her hand. For a brief moment she struggled, but in the end he led her across the Jacuzzi. When he sat, he forced her onto his lap, his arms wrapping around her waist.
Cameron’s eyelids rose with shock. Her slacked jaw had yet to rise.
Harry smirked, earning himself a frown from his not-so-timid better half. “You knew about this?” Her shrill voice was accusatory. She whipped her attention back to Sean and Sydney.
“Not a word, Cameron. Not one damn word,” Sean growled.
Only the percolating bubbles in the spa made a sound, until Harry cleared his throat. “Sooo… How about those Dodgers?” Cameron slapped his shoulder and he cringed, laughing. “What? You should have seen this coming.”
“Me? How?”
Harry just grinned, while his sister leveled a disapproving glare on Sean, one that matched Sydney’s.
Sean had to give Cameron credit. She didn’t make another remark, but he wasn’t a fool. The tightness in her face and her unusual silence said she had granted him a brief reprieve, but a scolding lay just around the corner. And if he wasn’t mistaken, judging by the rigid spine of the woman in his lap, he had earned yet another tongue-lashing.
Looking up beneath half-shuttered eyelids, Sean pressed his lips against Sydney’s bare shoulder, tasting salt and woman.
Shaking her head, she fought a smile, mouthing, “You’re a dead man.”
After that everyone seemed to relax, and conversation flowed freely, but all Sean could think about was the silky skin beneath his hands. The foam atop the water helped to conceal the movement of his hand as he caressed his palm across her flat abdomen. In several months, could it be rounded with his child?
A father.
Would he soon have a little dark-haired girl staring up at him calling him daddy? And God help them if she gave birth to a boy made in Sean’s own image. It’s a wonder his mother had any hair left from the trials he’d put her through. Of course, nothing might come from their incident.
Unease struggled with a blend of excitement that shocked and scared the shit out of him. Damned if he couldn’t picture himself waking up each morning with this woman lying beside him, making love to her when and wherever he felt the need.
A tingle spread across his groin. His cock hardened with each wicked thought of touching her—kissing her. When he slipped his fingers down the front of her swimsuit bottom, she startled with a little jump.
“Oh!” A flood of color rolled over her pretty features as she gaped at him for only a second. “Look.” She jutted her hand out, staring down her arm where her finger pointed. When the others followed her line of sight, she grabbed his wrist and pulled, unsuccessfully. “Uhhh… It s-stopped—”
He slid his sinful fingertips across her slit, finding her clit to give the bundle of nerves a little pinch.
“S-snowing,” she choked. Pushing against his chest, she slipped off his lap. As she released a nervous breath, she licked her lips. “Let’s go into town.”
“Town? Let’s hit the slopes.” Cameron and the others were already climbing out of the Jacuzzi.
“Damn you, Sean,” Sydney hissed through clenched teeth. Not waiting for a reply, she waded through the water away from him.
She was so cute, all he could do was chuckle, following her up the steps.
Grabbing a large towel off the stack, she tossed it, hitting him square in the face. Her anger only made him laugh harder.
“Something funny?” Suspicion flashed in Cameron’s eyes as she patted her arms dry. Louisa and Ted had already scurried from the room. Harry stood quietly in the doorway, waiting and watching the interplay between
