as your brother. The same brother you called in the past for help. You’re acting odd. Are you in trouble?”
    He held his breath. This was a rare side of his brother. A side he hadn’t seen in a decade or so. “No.” Unless being thrown together with his greatest temptation was trouble. “It’s nothing like that. I’m not in trouble, and neither is she.” Not if he could help it…which was why he needed the week off. Genny on her own with a bucket list had trouble written all over it, especially if the kiss last night was any indication of the rest of the list. No way was he unleashing her on the unsuspecting world.
    His brothers exchanged glances. “She?” Will’s eyebrows rose, and Michael grinned.
    Fucking gossipy hens. Both of them.
    “Just a friend.”
    “Who?” his brothers asked in unison.
    Would the inquisition never end? He groaned in frustration. “Genny Richards. I’m going to help her with some tasks. Personal things. Totally legal and okay.”
    “She’s that little blind girl. Walter’s sister, right?”
    She was far from a little girl, and Michael’s “blind” descriptor caused his fists to curl. She was so much more than that. More than they’d ever understand.
    “I’m playing racquetball with Walter tomorrow,” Will said.
    Chance’s stomach dropped. “With Walter?”
    “His dad talked to our dad, and well, you know how that goes, so his law firm is representing one of our smaller interests in a security installation deal. We meet up for racquetball every other week to talk about it.”
    Fuck, fuck, fuck . “You can’t tell him about this.”
    Another glance between his brothers. He wasn’t sure if they were surprised, amused, or both. Whatever they were, it pissed him off. He closed his eyes and centered his mood. “I’m serious. He can’t know I’m helping his sister.”
    As if rehearsed, both brothers arched one eyebrow.
    Heart racing, his desperation bordered on panic. “I never ask anything of you guys, but I’m asking now. Keep this among us.”
    Michael leaned forward and folded his arms on his desk. “On one condition.”
    Oh, shit. The consummate negotiator, always. “What?”
    “You tell us everything. Now.”
    Surely not. He looked at Will for backup. His brother simply shrugged and said, “He’s the boss.”

Chapter Six
    C hance paced outside Genny’s building the following morning conjuring the nerve to ring the buzzer. Her apartment was on the second floor, but he still blamed the stairs for the fact he was out of breath when she opened the door.
    Without a word, she took a deep inhale through her nose and gestured for him to enter. Her hair wasn’t bound in its usual ponytail and flowed over her shoulders in a shiny mahogany sheet—one silky ribbon of it traveling over an intriguing expanse of bare skin down into her ample cleavage. He wondered if she knew how hot she looked in that tight, low-cut top.
    “Don’t just stand there ogling. Come inside. You’re late.”
    Yep . She knew.
    “Sit,” she ordered, pointing to the couch closest to the door.
    He crossed, instead, to the opposite side of the sparsely furnished room and sat in a chair.
    She tilted her head and smiled, causing his gut to tighten. God, he’d missed her. Ten years shrank to mere days when she smiled.
    “Good to know you haven’t completely gone soft. I thought you’d been replaced by a lapdog,” she said.
    There was absolutely nothing soft about him. Between the tight red shirt and jeans that hugged her ample curves, and that smile he remembered as clearly as if he’d seen it every day of his life, he was hard as a rock. But she was off-limits, regardless of his dick’s opinion. He was bad for Genny. He always had been.
    While Walter and his parents were trying to keep her safe, Chance taught her how to ice skate and dive off the swim platform of the family yacht, and took her sledding. He’d loved hearing her laugh and watching her expression ignite and transform from
