    There was a knock at the door before Ash’s voice called out. “Who’s hungry? I’m going to fix lunch.”
    Mick would kill him. Brook would understand why her mate had to die.
    Jaz sat back pulling away from Mick with a slightly guilty look on her face.
    “Beautiful,” he leaned over and whispered in her ear. “You felt so good in my arms, like you belong there forever. You look gorgeous with your wide green eyes, and that just-kissed look on your face. I love hearing you pant in my ear.”
    Her panting got a little louder because he was turning her on with the sound of his voice and his words.
    “Are you hungry?”
    She nodded she was hungry, for the taste of his lips; a loud sound came from her belly making her look down at herself.
    “Well, I guess that answers my question.” He laughed as he stood and reached for her hand. “Now we get to go see what kind of cook Ash is.”
    “Mick?” The hesitancy in her voice stopped him.
    “What’s wrong, Jaz?”
    “Did I…did I do okay?’
    His brow wrinkled before understanding lit his eyes.
    “I’ve never been so turned on by a kiss in my life. Your lips captured my heart, and now it belongs to you.”
    “Oh…” she didn’t know what to say as redness crept up to make her cheeks flame. “I don’t understand what it means to have captured your heart.”
    “That’s because I have a hard time keeping my hands to myself. I’ll explain some over lunch because this will affect Ash and Brook too.” He stopped and waited to see if she was okay with that idea.
    “Sounds good and I’m hungry.” She led him out the room and down the beautiful old fashioned staircase. It was made of wood which no one used today unless they were rich.
    They walked into the kitchen to see Brook sitting at the island while Ash bent over the stove.
    “Jaz.” Brook stood and hugged her. “How are you?” she whispered in her ear.
    “I’m really good,” Jaz replied before hugging her sister. If someone ever told her life could get this good she would have laughed at them.
    “Jaz, Mick, what are your plans?” Ash asked as he cooked their lunch.
    “I still don’t know.” Her voice came out hesitant and shaky. As long as she was in Mick’s arms, she didn’t need to plan for the future, but she couldn’t shelter against him forever.
    “Hope everyone likes burgers and fries. I went simple today.”
    Jaz twisted her face hating those dry, dusty patties that she used to have to force down.
    “Don’t knock it until you try Ash’s food. I think you’ll be surprised.” Brook told her giving her a wink.
    Ash took the burgers and placed them on buns. He checked the fries; they were ready. In a couple of minutes, he had plates made and food set before everyone.
    Ash eyed Brook, she hadn’t eaten earlier and he was worried about her.
    “Jaz, is there something wrong with the food?” Mick asked since she hadn’t eaten anything.
    “No, I guess I’m just a little worried.”
    “Eat, please. We will do our best to overcome everything coming our way, but you need to eat first.”
    She nodded but didn’t pick up anything. Mick reached over picked up a fry dipped it in ketchup and placed it at her lips. She opened up and took a bite just missing his fingers. She gave a sexy rumble over the food being good and took the next fry he offered her. She smiled as he fed her French fries until she picked up her burger and took a big bite of it. With eyes wide, she shoved another bite into her mouth.
    “Told you,” Brook laughed. “It’s good.”
    They ate in silence. When everyone finished, Mick stood and cleared the table before he washed the dishes. Jaz sat back and rubbed her belly, unable to remember the last time she ate.
    “Let’s go to the living room,” Mick said, standing in the doorway to the kitchen. They walked down the short hallway to the living room.
    Ash sat on one of the loveseats and Brook took a seat on his lap. He gave her a kiss on the neck
