helped him before following suit. Once done, they walked out of the bathroom and down the hall side by side.
    They must have been gone longer than Garrett had thought, since the table had been cleared of his work and set with a steaming bowl of food right in center. They also had an additional guest.
    Lily stood at the table laughing at something Julie was saying. It appeared his sister’s friendly personality had already drawn Lily in. He enjoyed seeing the women together. Julie was so important to him that whoever he was interested in had to get along with her. And he was more than interested in Lily. She looked beautiful in a long cream sweater with her blonde hair shining and hanging past her shoulders. His fingers actually twitched with the urge to find out if the strands were as soft and silky as they looked. She glanced up as they walked in and her blue eyes met his, causing his steps to falter. As he tripped he had to reach out and grasp Nick’s shoulder. The kid looked back at him, grinning. Embarrassed, all he could do was hope that he wasn’t blushing. Luckily the others in the room weren’t paying him any attention.
    “Hi.” He smiled as he greeted her.
    “Sorry to disturb your dinner,” she said as she strolled forward. She crouched down in front of Nick. “I brought some stuff for you.”
    “Did you get my stuffed wolf? I left him on the bed,” Nick asked softly.
    “I’ll have to check with the fire investigator to see if I can get into the house,” Lily said. “I’m not sure how bad the fire damage is.”
    “You’ll try though?” Nick pressed.
    “Absolutely,” she said. “But for tonight, maybe you’ll hang onto this guy?” She walked back toward the doorway where a few bags were piled up. She bent down, and Garrett really wasn’t trying to watch the way the soft black pants stretched and showcased her ass, but damn.
    As she rummaged through the bags, Garrett reached down and had to adjust his cock, which had hardened seeing her on her knees. Fuck, he barely knew the woman and all he could think about was pushing her down, yanking away any barrier between them and mounting her.
    He blinked. Where in the hell had that thought come from? Crap, he really didn’t need these thoughts when he was in his sister’s crowded kitchen.
    “Ah ha!” Lily announced as she pulled something from one of the plastic bags. She turned and offered Nick a rather large, soft-looking stuffed wolf.
    “Wow!” Nick rushed forward and took the animal from her.
    “I know it can be scary sleeping in a strange place. So I thought this little guy could help you. You can name him and keep him with you,” she said.
    Nick hugged the stuffed wolf tightly. “Thank you.”
    “You’re very welcome,” she said as she ruffled his hair. She looked up at Garrett. “He should have enough clothes for a few days, there’s also a new toothbrush and some other things I thought he might like. If you need anything, just let me know and I can bring it over. I’ll be over tomorrow to check on him.”
    She started to step back but Garrett wasn’t ready to let her go yet. “Why don’t you stay for dinner?” he asked.
    “Oh, I don’t want to intrude.” She waved off his invitation.
    “We’d like you to stay.” Garrett rested his hand on Nick’s shoulder.
    The boy bobbed his head in agreement.
    “There really is plenty and we can talk a little more,” Julie added. She was glancing between Garrett and Lily, and the sparkle in her eyes Garrett knew well. His sister was aware of the attraction between the two of them.
    Lily appeared unsure so Garrett nudged Nick forward. The boy went right over and grabbed Lily’s hand, pulling her toward the table. “Julie made mac and cheese that her mama used to make for her. It’s supposed to be really good.”
    “Well, how could I say no to that?” Lily asked with a smile.
    “Let’s eat!” Cooper cried.
    Everyone moved around the table until they were seated. Garrett found
