After breakfast, Gage offered to take Hailey home since she’d arrived with Dylan.
The drive home was pleasant but silent. All the way, Gage wondered what Hailey
thought, if his mother and brothers had perhaps scared her away. Lord knew, Barbara
could do it all on her own.
“Gage, I hope I wasn’t intruding. Dylan stopped by work last night, introduced
himself, and surprised me with an invite, and I couldn’t keep myself from meeting your
family.”
He shrugged. “I’d have taken you to meet them before now. I just didn’t want them
to scare you away. My mother can be hard to take.”
Hailey reached for his hand on the wheel, and in the process her breast brushed his
shoulder. Fire lanced through his groin, and he clenched his teeth to keep his cool.
“Your mother is a wonderful woman, and I can definitely see you in your brothers.”
She grinned. “You’re all a bunch of smart-asses.”

Enjoying the Show
Laughing, he pulled up in front of her house. He cleared his throat. “Well, we’re
here.”
“Yes. We are. Look, Gage, I’d like you to come in for a minute. Do you have the
time?”
Shit. He had nothingbuttime. “Sure.”
They entered together when the phone rang.
“I’ll be right back,” she said and left him for the bedroom.
He sat on her couch and flipped on the television. But the sight that met his eyes had
him doing a double-take. There on her screen, a familiar blonde actress,Belinda the porn
star,and her friends cavorted and frolicked through some rousing foreplay, anal and oral
sex.
Glued to the scene, he could only stare, totally bemused as to what his video was
doing in Hailey’s DVD player.
“Uh, Gage?”
