Jenna pulled the other side and together they straightened the fold. Her top dipped low as she bent over the bed, exposing golden-bronze skin.
Ty jerked his gaze away and went to adjust the throw pillows onthe sofa. “Can you grab a couple mints from the hall closet? And clean towels?”
“Sure thing.” Jenna returned a minute later with the towels and placed mints on the pillows. “And just like that I know how to turn down a room.”
He tipped a grin her way. “You’re hired.”
Chapter 16
Jenna pumped her fist as the Braves put up another run against the Nationals, bringing the score to eight to three in the fifth inning. She gave Ty a high five. “Your lucky hat is working.”
Across Ty’s living room, Seth scowled. “He looked out to me.”
Ty laughed. “What are you talking about? He was safe by a mile.”
Feeling parched, Jenna got up for another soda. “I have to agree with Ty—and the umpire.”
“Yeah, well,” Alex said. “This one’s in the can, I’m afraid.”
“Have you talked to Mom and Dad lately?” Ty asked as a commercial came on.
“Just texting mostly,” Alex said. “But I have an advertising campaign I want to go over with them soon.”
Ty turned down the commercial. “Mom’s wanting another pony. I can’t tell if Dad’s going to cave or not.”
“Oh, he’ll cave,” Seth said. “Mom only has to bat her eyelashes his direction.”
“Yeah,” Alex said, “but Dad watches the finances, and ponies aren’t cheap to maintain.”
Seth regarded his brother. “But their profits are up, and the guests love the ponies. It’s good business.”
“I don’t see it happening,” Alex said.
“I’ll bet it does,” Seth said.
“Bet it doesn’t.”
Ty quirked a brow. “What are you willing to bet?”
Jenna shook her head at their antics. “You guys.”
“Well, Ihavebeen eyeing your new kayak,” Alex told Seth.
“I’m not betting my new kayak! You know how much that thing set me back?”
Alex gave a smug look. “Must not be too sure of yourself.”
“I don’t need a kayak,” Ty said. “But I wouldn’t turn down a big-screen TV. Let’s just bet cold, hard cash. A hundred bucks.”
“I’d rather have the kayak.”
“A hundred dollars,” Seth said.
“All right, fine.” Alex turned to Ty. “Who are you putting your money on?”
“Mom, of course.”
“Darn right.” Seth turned to Jenna. “You want in?”
