“We’re cuter, babe,” he told her, and dipped her back to a rousing kiss.

“I’m covering your eyes, Ava,” Corbin told his daughter, even as Brittany draped herself across his back. “Your aunt and uncle are being inappropriate.”

“Hey,” Alexis protested, pulling her mouth from Ethan’s. “If it wasn’t for our lust, she wouldn’t even exist. You would have never met Brittany if I hadn’t been living in the Ava.”

“Wrong. I met Brittany first, so Corbin met her because of me, not you or your lust for me,” Ethan told her. He frowned at Corbin and Brittany as Alexis whacked him on the arm. “And I still can’t believe you named our niece after a casino.”

“It’s your casino,” Brittany said. “Doesn’t that make it better?”

Corbin smiled back at her. “Should we tell them why we named her Ava?”

“If you’re going to tell me she was conceived in my casino, I could do without that information.”

“It’s not that scandalous. We named her Ava because we couldn’t agree on anything else, because it’s pretty, and because we did meet at the Ava. And actually, just as an FYI, she was conceived in that chair you’re sitting in,” Brittany told him.

“Christ!” Ethan leaped out of the chair.

Corbin laughed. “She is joking, Carrick.”

Though we have done creative things on that chair , Brittany said.

“Not that we need to share that, ma chйrie ,” Corbin said, a little surprised.

“Share what?” she asked him.

“What you just said,” he replied.

“I didn’t say anything.”

“Yes, you did.”

“Did not.” Give it a rest.

“Pardon? Give it a rest? That’s a bit harsh.”

Brittany sat up straight. “I didn’t say that out loud.”

Are you sure?

Positive.

Corbin looked at her in astonishment. “I can read your thoughts again.”

“I can hear yours, too.”

Brittany had tears in her eyes and she sniffled. “Everything is right, isn’t it?”

Corbin held his daughter, kissed his wife. “Yes, it es. Everything es just right.”
