Holidays with the Walker Brothers (Alluring Indulgence #4)(51)
Author: Nicole Edwards

Braydon hid his smile behind the bottle of water he tipped to his lips. Christmas present, huh? He damn sure liked the idea of that.

“Yeah?” Brendon asked skeptically, taking Jessie’s hand and pulling her into the room. “What’d you get us?”

Getting straight to the point obviously, Braydon watched as Brendon pulled her up against him, their mouths joining for a brief good morning kiss.

As a bystander, Braydon had the honor of watching Jessie, admiring her legs, which looked as though they were wrapped in silk – stockings, maybe? That was pretty much the only part of her he could see since she was currently cuddled inside an enormous coat that hid the rest of her luscious curves from his view. He hoped like hell Brendon would remedy that soon.

It was nice to see Brendon’s mood improve significantly in just a matter of minutes. It only went to prove that Braydon was getting a little too attached to Jessie for his own good. He needed to back off, keep this strictly physical – as it should be. After what happened between them the other night, he’d given his actions, as well as Brendon’s, a lot of thought. Not that he’d come up with a way to fix this mess they were in, but he knew if he took a step back, he could possibly get things back to the way they were.

“Can I help you with your coat?” Brendon asked Jessie, his hands cupping her face as he stared at her intently.

Braydon knew he needed to get up, needed to move closer. His hands were itching with the need to touch her, but he wanted to pretend he wasn’t as affected as he was. At least for now. In a few minutes, it wouldn’t matter because Jessie would be naked and sprawled out for their pleasure.

He hoped.

“I think I’ll hold onto it for a minute or two if you don’t mind,” Jessie answered.

Braydon met her eyes as she glanced over her shoulder, giving him a seductive grin that had his dick stirring in his jeans. Oh, yes, he definitely was looking forward to this Christmas present.

“What are you watching?” Jessie asked, exasperated.

Braydon laughed but didn’t answer her. He’d leave that discussion to his twin.

“Right this second, I’m watching you,” Brendon replied, clicking off the television with the remote. “I’m waiting patiently for the gift you promised us.”

“Patiently, huh?” Jessie chuckled, her sexy voice making Braydon’s body run hot.

“Sure,” Brendon said seriously. “If I wasn’t a patient man, baby, you’d be flat on that coffee table right now.”

“I would?” Jessie’s question sounded innocent.

“You would,” Brendon confirmed as he flopped onto the couch, propping his feet on the coffee table in question and crossing his ankles in a deceivingly laid-back gesture.

“And what would I be doing if I were flat on that coffee table right now?” Jessie asked, dividing her attention between the two of them.

“Do you want a play by play?” Brendon asked.

“Oh, so you’ve thought this one through?”

“Honey, in my fantasies, you play a starring role. I’ve thought of plenty of things I want to do to you and your gorgeous body.”

“Hmmm.” Jessie appeared to be contemplating Brendon’s response as she looked around the room. “Then I think this will be the perfect place for me to give you your gift.”

Crossing his arms over his chest, Brendon regarded her with hooded eyes. Braydon was so entranced by the interaction between the two of them, he wasn’t sure he’d be able to move from his chair without some serious discomfort. The coy way that Jessie was regarding both of them had Braydon seconds away from stripping her naked. He had a good idea that his gift was actually underneath that coat that was at least two sizes too big for her.

“We’re waiting,” Braydon added as his contribution to the conversation.

Jessie’s smile lit up the entire room.

She slowly unbuttoned the coat, starting with the top buttons first and making her way to the bottom, being careful to keep the coat closed so as not to reveal anything apparently. Braydon wanted to offer her a hand and pull the damn thing from her body just to discover what was underneath.

Two seconds later when the coat fell to the floor at Jessie’s feet, Braydon was pretty damned sure he had a heart attack.

Jessie

Ok, well, it was pretty clear she wasn’t going to sign up to be a stripper anytime in the near future. It was way too damn nerve wracking.

She’d spent the morning getting ready to go over to the Walker’s house to help prepare Christmas dinner when she received the text from Braydon letting her know that Brendon was in a mood. Without thinking much about it, she decided to change her plans, which resulted in her having V drop her off at the twins’ house rather than going to hang out with the girls for the morning.
