“Yeah,” she laughs. “We had to open up all of them to find this one and we were all looking at this when Jake came in to see if all was okay.”
“I’m going to pop his eyeballs,Game of Thronesstyle,” I say with a growl.
“He was quite flustered; it was very cute.” She comes to sit next to me, sighing contentedly as she rests her head in my shoulders.
“Jake isn’t cute, he’s a menace,” I argue, but I’m only joking, and she knows it. “Where am I going to put this?” I ask, holding the frame up again.
“Maybe in the hallway so everyone sees it when they visit?”
“That would be one way to off your dad early. Heart attack.”
She laughs. “I was thinking you might want it in your man-cave,” she says, referring to the little outhouse we have at the bottom of the garden.
“Babe, that’s where Jake and I play darts. This is not going anywhere he can see it.”
“Oh, yeah. Well, how about we hang it in the wardrobe behind the clothes and you can just take a peek when you want to?”
“I’m not hiding it away,” I say, frowning. “Let’s hang it above the bed.”
She laughs, incredulously. “Harry, the kids would see it. I’m sure the boys would be deeply disturbed.”
“Oedipus would have a field day,” I muse, making her throw her head back and laugh that sexy, husky laugh that makes my heart burst every time I hear it. “How about the bathroom?” I suggest nodding at the ensuite. “The kids don’t have any reason to go in there and I can always see it when I’m in the shower.” I wiggle my eyebrows at her.
“Sounds good to me,” she giggles.
I kiss her gently but quickly let my hunger take over. Tossing the frame on the bed, I cup her jaw and feed her my tongue, taking her sweet gasps in with greedy, sucking kisses. Her fingers curl into the softness of my shirt and I slide my free hand up her thigh, annoyingly covered in tights. When I reach her hip, I grip the top of man’s worst invention and start tugging. A knock at the door has me growling in frustration as we pull away from each other.
“Uh, Lis?” Nel’s voice calls. “I’m really sorry if you guys are…oh god. Um, Rhi sent me up to ask you about the potatoes because they’re looking a little dark?”
“Shit!” Lisa jumps up and dashes to the door, swinging it open and pelting downstairs to rescue the roast potatoes.
“You need help?” I call after her.
“All good!”
There’s a moment of silence while I stay sat on my bed and Nel leans on the door frame, smirking. “Hope I didn’t interrupt anything.”
I just glare at her, making her laugh. “You know, I think Jake is rubbing off on you.”
She snorts. “Your wife said the same thing.”
I scrub my hand over my face feeling tired. I’d like nothing more than to kick everyone out of my house and take my wife to bed right now, but that seems less than festive.
“You okay, big brother?” Nel looks at me with gentle concern and I give her a soft smile in response.
“Yeah, I’m good. Just tired and…” Horny. I think quick enough to trail off before that one comes out.
“It’s hard work all this entertaining,” she sighs. “I mean, I assume. I’m not the one doing it.”
“Yeah, it is,” I sigh. I catch my eye on the frame still on the bed and jerk my chin at it. “Thanks for doing that.”
“Not weirded out that your sister took sexy pictures of your wife?” She purses her lips in amusement.
“The less I think about it the better.” I nod seriously, making her huff out a small laugh. “But I mean thanks for doing that for Lisa. I feel like she needed it.”
Nel nods in understanding. “Sometimes we all need to feel good about ourselves.”
“Well, you definitely helped Lis with that.”
