Chapter 1

Lucas Grant, my husband's older brother, had just rolled back into town. He had been fighting with his wife again, and he'd shown up at our place to drink it off with Logan Grant."You don't even know, man," he was saying. "Marrying her was like losing my mind. Before the wedding she never let me see her without makeup. I thought she was just shy. Then I finally see her without it, and I swear to you, I couldn't even get it up."He finished the glass and turned his head toward me. He was already a few drinks in and his tone had slipped past polite."You’re the lucky one, little brother. Look at your wife–naturally beautiful. Compared to her, the one I married… it’s like night and day."Back in school, Lucas and Logan were the kind of guys everyone noticed. For a long time, I thought marrying Logan was the luckiest thing that ever happened to me. Now, with Lucas piling on the compliments, I felt a little embarrassed.I used the excuse of getting them something to go with their drin

Babe?I stared at the face in front of me, the face that was exactly the same as my husband's, and my whole body went cold."Babe? You okay in there? Need help?"Logan's voice came through the door again, and the sound of it snapped me back into my body.The man in front of me was not my husband. It was Lucas.I shoved him off and scrambled for cover, but my chest had already fallen free of the unhooked bra, and I could see the way his eyes tracked the motion. Whatever restraint he had been faking, he dropped it right there.I clapped my hands up over myself, but there was too much to cover with just my palms, and I knew it, and so did he.Lucas's eyes crawled over me without any shame at all. He ran his tongue over his lip and clamped a big hand across my mouth."You don't want my little brother finding out either, do you?"A woman's reputation is the one thing she cannot claw back. If Logan knew his own brother had seen me like this, had had his hands on me, he would not kee

I stood frozen where he had left me, with every line he had just said still ringing in my ears, until I heard him walk out and shut the bedroom door behind him."Hey. Where did you go? I was looking for you."Logan's voice, out in the hallway. I heard Lucas lie without missing a beat."Down the hall. Had too much, needed to clear my head.""Seriously? I just went looking for you."By the time I had myself pulled together and stepped out, Lucas was telling Logan, with a perfectly straight face, "We must have just missed each other," like it was the most natural thing in the world.He pulled out his phone and muttered, half to himself, half loud enough for me to hear it."Look at this. Gone this long and my wife has not sent me a single message. What is the point of a woman like that."I could not tell if he was talking to Logan or at me.Logan looked at me clearing the glasses off the coffee table and grinned."See, Lucas? This is what getting married early gets you. Bella. B

He could tell, somewhere along the way, when I stopped fighting and started responding. He gave a small, satisfied laugh into my skin when it happened.I do not know how many times I finished that night. Lucas never did. He would come, and a few minutes later he would be ready again. It went on like that until he had gone through a full box of condoms.In a twisted way, part of me could not believe it. Logan never lasted more than a few strokes. Most nights I came away unsatisfied and did not say anything.Lucas was the other end of the spectrum. Stamina for days. Too much stamina, honestly. When the box was finally empty, he let me go.I could hear Logan starting to stir in the bedroom. I barely had time to clean up. I wiped off with a corner of a towel and slid back under the covers next to him.Logan felt me settle in and his arm came around my waist automatically."Babe."I did not trust my voice. I made a small sound and burrowed my face into the pillow."Mm."The next mo

Those sweatpants did something to him that I had not been ready for. Just looking at him, I was already warm under my own clothes. Whether it was the ovulation, or the fact that Lucas had woken up every nerve ending in my body the night before, I was not in the mood to work out anymore. I wanted to drag my husband home and back into bed.Logan caught my look right away. He laughed and flicked me on the forehead."What is going on in your head? Did you stay up reading romance novels all night? It's hot out. The whole gym is men. This is not the outfit's fault."It had been so long since I had really looked at Logan in workout clothes that I had genuinely forgotten how good his body was. Those pecs barely fit inside a T-shirt. I squeezed one without thinking.Logan leaned down to my ear."How am I doing? Still worth keeping?"I leaned in, brushed his earlobe with my lips, and whispered back."Already wet."He had me on the lat pulldown machine, and while he was adjusting my for

Lucas was charmed by how panicked I looked. He started laughing."Relax. Don't look at me like that. Logan put me up to it. He wanted to go swim. You said no. So he asked me to pretend to be him for a round so he could still get in the pool."I froze in place. Who does that? What husband hands his own wife off to his brother?When Lucas's hands started drifting again, I pushed them off."What if Logan finds out? Are you insane? We are in the gym bathroom."He laughed at that, too."A minute ago, you said you wanted to do it somewhere public. Now the bathroom is too risky? I figured by your logic the bathroom made it more exciting, not less."He tried to push my head back down to finish what we had started, but I was done."No. I am married. I am not doing this!"He stood there looking at me for a long beat. Then he nodded."I am not going to force you. Go."For a second, I did not trust how easily he let me leave, but I took it. We came out of the stall and out of the bathro

Chapter 7

It was new. Logan had never been like this before. I was enjoying it, until his hand slid down to my nipple and started doing exactly what Lucas had done. Working it between his fingers the same way.Logan did not do that. Logan had never done that."Who are you really! Logan or Lucas?"He gave me a genuinely confused look. He had no idea why I was asking.The answer came without hesitation."Babe. It's me. Obviously. Lucas touching your chest? Seriously, babe, you just short-circuited my brain with that question."I watched his face for another second, processing. Then I heard myself say, lightly."The two of you spooked me. I do not know what is real anymore."Logan sighed and put on his most sheepish apology face."I know. I am sorry. I swear to you. No more. Not ever again."He was still working me through the fabric, and by now I was wet enough that I stood up. I took his hand and pulled him toward the bedroom."Then you owe me, and you are paying it tonight."Whether

I stared at him, speechless. How could he be this certain?"Whoever the biological father is, this baby is Logan's."I said it low and fast, and Lucas just smiled and nodded."All good, Bella. Relax. I'm here. We handle everything together."Listening to him, I did not know if I was actually going to let him off the hook. I nodded just to end the conversation. That night, over dinner, Lucas tapped his glass."I want to say something."I thought he was about to help me lie to Logan, keep Logan in the dark. Instead, he went the opposite direction. He told Logan, flat out."Logan. The baby is mine."The moment the words landed, my eyes went huge."Before you came back and slept with Bella, I had already been with her. So the baby has to be mine."I was frozen in my chair. How could he say that out loud?"Who said that baby is yours! For all you know, it is my husband's!"I took a breath and turned to Logan, desperate."Babe, it is not what you think. I swear to you. Nothing l
