woman like I have for the past five months.
    “ She always looks as though she’s left part of her clothes at home,” Ramon says, which everyone seems to find funny apart from me. “I mean she’s mighty fine with one hell of a–” he trails off when Dad glares at him.
    “Ramon, as I recall you have a lovely girl inside with the ladies. You shouldn’t be noticing the attributes of someone else.” Dad frowns watching Ramon’s reaction to his comment. “You are serious about Carla…aren’t you?”
    Ramon lets out a sigh while rubbing his brows as though he has a headache. “We’re dating. We’re also friends.” Ramon glance s at me before looking back at Dad. “She’s living with me while she gets back on her feet. She insisted on doing my paperwork while Stephanie is on maternity leave, so she works in the office at home…and before you get the wrong idea, I pay her the same as I paid Stephanie, which has been a damn fight.” He rubs his hands over his face as though exhausted before meeting my eyes. “So now you know why Carla lives with me.”
    What is he trying to tell me? I say me because there is no way I can mistake the direction of his statement. I haven’t had that many beers, but if there is a meaning behind his words it escapes me.
    “We’ve gone off track here. I still want to hear about Sebastian and Jacky,” Ruben interrupts, refusing to let me off the hook.
    “There is no Sebastian and Jacky,” I bite out. “I have no interest in her and this conversation is over.” Standing up , I toss my empty bottle into the barrel Dad keeps on the porch behind Mom’s planters, before turning back to face off against my brothers who are all smirking. Even George seems to be enjoying himself at my expense.
    “Well son, I can’t say I know exactly what’s going on, but I think you need to keep your zipper fastened around the staff.”
    Speechless. While my brothers try to control their laughter, I just look at Dad… speechless . He always has a way of making you feel like a teenager that’s been caught in the hayloft with a hot babe all over again. “This zipper’s stayed fastened for over five fuc…um, months.” My eyes quickly go to my Dad.
    And to add to my embarrassment, Lucien is m otioning me to turnaround, which I do and come face to face with Carla.
    Fuckin’ great!

    Who the hell are they telling him to keep his zipper up with? Relief washes over me at Sebastian’s words…did he really just admit to keeping his zipper up for five months? Is that because he met me? Is it because I’m the only one he wants? I try to hide the smile that’s threatening to break at my joy over that revelation. It shouldn’t and he certainly shouldn’t feel like that towards me when he thinks I’m attached to his brother.
    Clearing my throat while gazing up at Sebastian , I say, “We’ve finished if you all want to come back inside.”
    Turning tail, I start to walk back towards the living room where everyone is still having a good laugh with Lily at the presents she has just received.
    The men are in for a shock when they catch site of the bounty set out on the table for all to see. Poor Michael, he’s going to get some teasing from his brothers when they catch sight of the more racy gifts: handcuffs, crotch-less panties, nipple care gift set and let’s not forget the florescent pink ‘rampant rabbit’ vibrator, which was my gift.
    When Lily first opened the gift , I thought Pippa was about to have a heart attack when she realized what the gift was, until she started to laugh and made a comment about Michael ending up frustrated as hell until after the babies were born. For a split second, everyone went silent before we fell about in fits of laughter, which we tried to calm down a bit before we sent Lily into labor.
    Arriving back in the living room , I come to an abrupt stop when I spot the ‘rabbit’ slap bang in the middle of the table, out of its box looking
