and smelled like bleach.
    “If she can afford billboard advertising, she must be very successful.”
    He dried himself, then wrapped the towel around her and pulled her to him, front-to-front and skin-to-skin. “Hm. I like this,” he said. “You’re all warm and damp.”
    She wriggled against him. “ I like it, too.”
    “Drake said she’s a hotshot in the real estate business, whatever that means.” He kissed her, a tender joining of lips.
    “If you have to leave so early, we need to get in bed,” she said when they parted. They strolled into her bedroom and she turned back the covers on her queen-size bed. “Are they going to live in his condo?”
    “Nope. Camden.”
    She stopped and looked up at him. “Oh, my gosh. I can’t believe he’s going to give up that beautiful condo.”
    “Hah. That’s what Kate said. He’s already put it on the market. You know how he is. Shit like that is all relative to him. He’ll find something else equally great. Something more suited for kids, he says. And Shannon wants to keep her real estate company going. He’s planning on commuting to Fort Worth.”
    Mandy scooted between the covers and he followed. “She got pregnant in February?”
    “They’re saying she’ll drop in October, so that sounds about right.”
    They settled into each other’s arms, her head on his shoulder, their legs entangled. She slid her hands over his belly and down to his genitals, caressed his balls. He loved her hands on his private parts.
    “Did they talk about it?”
    “ I only got a minute to talk to Drake privately. He told me they figure it happened when she went with him on a business trip to Lubbock. They got carried away and forgot to use a rubber.”
    “Oh, wow. That’s really carried away. She wasn’t on the pill or anything?”
    “Guess not.”
    “My gosh. I can’t believe all that’s happened. I wondered if Drake would ever settle on one woman and get married. Now he not only has a wife, he’s going to be a father.”
    “She looks like she worships the ground he walks on. And he’s acts the same way about her.”
    He turned to face her front-to-front and caged her with his arms and legs. Now he had a full-fledged erection again and her little butterfly fingers were playing with it.
    “Did he give her a pretty ring?”
    “Nice. Not as fancy as Mom’s, but nice enough. Damn…baby, do that again.”
    “Did he and your mom get along?”
    Pic sighed. “They didn’t speak. Mom was quiet. She probably feels sorry for what she did. For now anyway.”
    “A private detective must have cost her a lot. I don’t why Betty does such crazy things.”
    Pic harrumphed. “Me, neither.”
    “If she took Bill Junior home with her, she must have gotten over what happened at Christmas.”
    Mandy had been present at the family brawl that had taken place on Christmas Day. Mom had surprised everybody by coming to the ranch for the holiday and one of Dad’s girlfriends had showed up unexpectedly for Christmas dinner. “Oooh, yeah. Being hornier than rabbits settles a lot of disagreements between my parents. I suspect this isn’t the first time they’ve gotten together since Christmas.”
    Mandy chuckled and cuddled closer to him, trailed her hand up his ribs. “Until them, I never knew couples their ages were so sexy.”
    “It’s pretty damned amazing. Dad will be fifty-five in a couple more months. I don’t know if he gets gets a hard-on without help or if he’s a poster boy for Viagra.”
    Now Mandy laughed, a nice pleasant girl laugh. “What do you suppose sex is like when you’re fifty-five?”
    “Ugly.” He reached for her hand, returned it to his erection. “I just hope I’ve inherited a good supply of the old man’s genes. It’s kinda nice to know I might still be able to get it up when I’m his age.”
    She stroked his cockhead with her fingertips. “I wonder if you’ll s till be getting it up with me.”
    “Hell, yes, Mandy.” He cupped her jaw with
