She responded immediately and as she sat across his lap he found her lips with his, leaving her lost until she heard a loud cough from behind her.
“Morning,” called Bobby, grinning at them both.
“Morning,” replied Jim, returning a smile of his own, seemingly unfazed by his brother’s sudden arrival.
“Good morning,” whispered Tasha, quietly embarrassed.
“Breakfast?” asked Jim.
“Depends, what’s on the menu?” Bobby’s grin broadened making Tasha think the two brothers were more alike than she’d first thought as it was obvious Bobby was enjoying her discomfort and embarrassment.
“Whatever you can see is on offer, with the exception of Natasha,” Jim told his brother with an amused smile, still holding Tasha firmly on his lap.
She attempted to free herself from his grip again, but he just tightened his grip further.
“Would you like some tea or coffee?” offered Tasha.
“Sure, coffee please,” replied Bobby.
Jim released her and as she stood up she felt even more embarrassed when she remembered she only wore a t-shirt. She silently reminded herself not to overstretch in it, or bend down. She poured Bobby some coffee and handed it to him as she refilled Jim’s cup before excusing herself.
“I should go and dress, Juan will be here soon.” She left the room and had to stop herself from running for the stairs where she breathed a huge sigh of relief.
“Sorry,” said Bobby after Tasha left the room. “I’m used to just walking in and not finding you in compromising positions with pretty girls in the kitchen, and she is very pretty Jimbo, and those legs.” He whistled.
“Thanks for the critique, and don’t worry about walking in, although another couple of minutes and it could have been very different,” replied Jim cockily.
“Is Tasha okay though? I think she was embarrassed at me walking in on you. Philip let me in as he left,” said Bobby genuinely concerned for Tasha.
“She’s fine, but she is quite easily embarrassed.” Jim grinned, still amused that as a very beautiful and sexy actress she got so easily embarrassed by real life situations.
“I couldn’t be sure on underwear, but definitely no ring,” observed Bobby.
“You think?”
Bobby laughed. “You got her a ring, but still it’s not on her finger. You are losing your touch, little brother.”
“Hardly. She won’t wear it until after I’ve told Philip and Lizzie, which I will before we go to Mom and Dad’s later, so she will be wearing it for dinner tonight.”
“Thank fuck for that because I was ready to buy her one myself if you hadn’t.” Laughed Bobby.
“I don’t think Abby would go with that, but back off anyway.” He laughed. “And you do know that tonight is going to be some kind of party don’t you?”
“I figured as much with our no later than five for an early dinner instruction,” Bobby said as Tasha returned dressed in blue jeans, black heeled boots and a white t-shirt with a huge union jack on it. “Very patriotic,” said Bobby.
“I considered saving it for Tuesday, but thought that may not be appreciated,” she smiled.
“Possibly not.” Bobby turned to Jim. “Jimbo, we are going to miss tee off time if you don’t get your butt into gear.”
“I’m ready,” said Jim who was already landing a gentle kiss on Tasha’s lips. He snaked his arms around her and whispered, “I appreciate you in anything you wear Tasha, and for the second consecutive day I will take a rain check, on the panty inspection this time.” Tasha looked over his shoulder to see Bobby watching on. “Have fun with Juan and spend lots of money,” Jim added, causing her to frown which served to amuse him and Bobby.

Juan had knocked on the door at exactly ten o’clock to find Tasha ready to go and as they arrived at the mall he asked, “Are you looking for anything in particular?”
She shook her head. “Doesn’t mean I won’t buy lots though. I was just hoping to get an idea of what shops there are and where they are, banks and just the regular stuff. Is there a supermarket here?”
“Yes, at the far end. Do you need a supermarket? Sandra usually does all of the food shopping,” said Juan.
