walked
away with Riana. Watching the two of them like that, he couldn’t even describe
the emotions that consumed him. Loraine was right. The man was a bastard, but
he did three things right—creating his three children—and Reno loved two of
them beyond measure. Yes, he may not know his brother well but he’d grown to
care for him the two months they had to get to know each other.
    “Ow, Don Juan is
showing his true nature again,” Loraine cooed, pulling his attention. “Don’t
worry, Riana will give him a fair shake. Though I think it was a very ass wipe
move to spring this on her at her own wedding. He’s even one of the groomsmen!”
    “Allan’s idea,” Reno
hurriedly confessed. Damn the woman could glare! It made him uneasy and he bet
everyone she’d ever settled it on felt the same.
    Allan’s eyes widened.
“Gee, thanks for having my back, brother.”
    Reno chuckled, pulling
Loraine into his arms. “Who do you have watching Aurora?”
    Allan shoved his hands
into his pants pockets with a knowing smile. “Melody is going to watch her and
Mark. Don’t worry about it. Go have your fun, just be here in the morning to
say goodbye or she’ll never forgive me for leaving before she says goodbye to
you.”
    The word goodbye made
his chest clench but he nodded. “What are you doing for your honeymoon?”
    Allan shrugged his
smile growing to a full blown grin. “Well sailing is out of the question; it
didn’t go well the last time. And visiting a vineyard is too, no point going
when she can’t drink. We’ll just check out some of Riana’s favorite spots then
go back home. The board wants me back at the company in two weeks.”
    Reno was a little
confused. Riana had talked about her trip on Allan’s yacht the first time they
came to Italy like she’d enjoyed it, even though she always begged off going
sailing with him when she was in Bahamas. And Aurora loved it; sometimes he
couldn’t get her off the boat without some pleading on his part. And why not a
vineyard, Riana loved wine? Unless…
    “And the light bulb
goes on,” Loraine announced.
    “For real? She pregnant
again? Already?”
    Allan chuckled.
“Completely unplanned, just like Aurora. I was surprised too. She told me
during our wedding dance.”
    Reno had been watching
them dance until the sight of Loraine in her dress, exposing her long endless
sexy legs, distracted him. He would have liked to see Allan’s reaction. And why
hadn’t she told him he was going to be an uncle again?
    They were having another
kid and so soon after they’d found each other. It worried him a little, but
seeing how happy Allan was and knowing his sister was probably just as happy,
if not more, silenced his doubts.
    He pulled away from
Loraine to clap Allan’s hand and give him a hug. “Congratulations, man! I’m
very happy for you.”
    When he pulled away, he
noticed the sheen in Allan’s eyes and he felt himself choke up a little.
    “Thanks. We’re
ecstatic. And thank you for taking care of her and being a father to Aurora
when I couldn’t.”
    “No problem. I was
happy to do it. Happier when you stepped in and took over.”
    Allan shook his hand
one last time. “Well, I’ll go make sure Aurora hasn’t broken anything
irreplaceable. You two enjoy yourself.” Then he walked off.
    Loraine pressed her fist
to her waist. “He says that like he’s in on a little secret. Does he think
we’re going to have sex tonight?” she demanded indignantly.
    Reno pulled her into
the circle of his arms, pressing her flush against his excited body. “What?
Aren’t we?”
    She stared up at him,
really stared into his eyes and he could see the doubt and desire in them as
she debated her decision. “Will you be there all night, or will you creep out
in the middle of the night, wam -bam-thank-you-Lori?”
    Her soft spoken voice
told him they weren’t joking around anymore. She was serious. Reno never stayed
the night after the deed. He always made sure he gave as
