Holidays with the Walker Brothers (Alluring Indulgence #4) Page 19
Author: Nicole Edwards

Why? Well, the answer to that question hadn’t been quite so forthcoming initially. However, after a lot of thought, not to mention the encounter the last time she was here with them, Jessie realized exactly what her problem was.

She was falling for Braydon.

And obviously Brendon was picking up on it.

Placing her taco on her plate and retrieving her beer again, she forced her eyes to wander around the room and not to either of the twins. She knew what she’d see if she looked at them. They were both devastatingly attractive with their dark hair and mesmerizing blue-gray eyes. Their chiseled features offered a rugged appeal, but those intense eyes made them boyishly handsome at the same time. And what made it worse… they were absolutely identical. To this point, she hadn’t found a single distinguishing mark on either of them. Their hair was cut the same, their style of dress was relatively similar, the deep timbre of their voice was identical, and they even walked the same.

The only difference she’d noted was that Braydon was much calmer, more laid back and infinitely more concerned about her in an emotional sense. Oh, and he made her feel beautiful every single time he looked at her.

On the other hand, Brendon was more assertive, edgy, always moving. And he made her feel like she was the sexiest woman on the planet when those heated eyes raked over her skin.

“You all right?” Brendon asked, his warm hand cupping the back of her neck as he stood beside her.

“Sure,” she lied after putting her beer back on the counter. “Fine. Why?”

“I don’t know. You just seem…” Brendon didn’t finish his sentence and Jessie didn’t try to fill in the blanks.

She knew how she seemed.

Without thinking, she glanced up, her eyes meeting Braydon’s and she suppressed a shudder. He was studying her and the way his eyes roamed across her face, seemingly reading every one of her thoughts made her uncomfortable.

“Hey, y’all wanna watch a movie?” she asked, jerking her gaze away from Braydon’s. She wasn’t all that interested in watching anything, but maybe if they tried, some of the tension would disappear.

That, or maybe she could pretend to be asleep. She had a feeling it was the only way she’d be able to distance herself from these new emotions she’d somehow developed. The ones that made this very unconventional threesome incredibly awkward.

Chapter Eight

♀♂

Kaleb

Kaleb stared at the blinking cursor on his computer screen, his attention pulled from the email he’d been drafting to the sound of tires crunching on gravel outside the office door. He had no idea who would be showing up at this time of day, and being that it was Friday morning, he wasn’t going to try and guess.

When Sawyer walked in the door, he had to admit he was a little disappointed. Not because his brother was there but because the new arrival wasn’t his wife. He’d talked to Zoey a little while ago, and she mentioned if she finished with her morning errand that she’d stop by to see him.

Being that he’d opted to hang out at the Walker Demotion office and not his new swank digs at Alluring Indulgence, which still had several weeks of work before they were ready to open the doors to the public, he was hoping no one would interrupt.

Clearly Sawyer must’ve had the same idea he did.

“Damn, man, what the hell is that smell?” Kaleb asked, staring up at Sawyer as he moved closer.

“Shut the fuck up,” Sawyer bit out.

There wasn’t even a hint of his laid back personality in the statement either. His older brother was clearly pissed.

“What the hell did you do? Take a shower with an animal?”

“As a matter of fact, I fucking did,” Sawyer ground out as he dropped into his chair at his own desk. “Yesterday, damn it. And the fucking smell still won’t go away.”

Kaleb had to hold on to his desk to keep from falling out of his chair as his laughter shook him. He remembered something about Sawyer’s grand gesture to go help out at the animal shelter and this must’ve been his reward.

“Did you see Kennedy?” he asked, trying to provoke Sawyer even more.

“If you know what’s good for you…” Sawyer let the threat drop as he booted up his computer, seemingly interested in the blank screen.

Kaleb obviously didn’t know what was good for him because he continued, “So, you took a bath with dogs?”

“Fuck you, man.”

Staring at Sawyer, Kaleb tried to regain some of his composure. Failed. “Let me just say, I don’t think that new cologne is gonna work well with the ladies.”

Sawyer glared over at him briefly, but it wasn’t long before a smile broke out on his face. Kaleb knew that Sawyer wouldn’t be able to hang onto his mad for long. He was the light hearted one. The fun loving guy that everyone wanted to be around.
