warned. “Eva’s probably never even thought about being with more than one man before.”
    “Sure, sure.” Always impatient, Pierson waved away Gray’s caution. “But you think she could be the one?”
    “How the hell should I know? It’s way too soon to tell.” Hearing his words come out sharper than he’d intended, Gray sighed and scrubbed a hand over his face. “Sorry.”
    “Don’t worry about it.” Pierson eyed him and then smiled to relieve some of the tension. “I’m feeling just as het up as you are.”
    “Any idea if Quin’s on board?”
    “No. But you know how he is,” Pierson said. “If he’s interested, he’ll tell her we want to share a woman.”
    “We both know how he’ll go after something he wants. He never was one to be diplomatic.”
    “Let’s just hope he hasn’t scared her off with his honesty.” Pierson looked uncharacteristically dour. Glancing beyond Gray, he added, “That’s them.”
    Headlights passed through the kitchen window as a car pulled into the drive. Gray looked out the window and started to feel excited again. “I think he’ll be more careful about what he says to Eva. He wants her just as much as we do.”
    “You think so?” Pierson sounded hopeful once more.
    “Only one way to find out.”
    Pierson placed his mug on the counter and headed for the back door. Gray decided he wanted to see Evana as she got out of the car. If she looked shell-shocked, then he knew Quin had broken the news about the ménage relationships in town.
    Quin got out and was headed around the front of Eva’s car to help her out, but before he could she made her way toward the house. Gray searched her face and saw she didn’t look nervous, anxious, or in shock. What surprised him was that her face was expressionless. He had learned that Eva had a very expressive face but her eyes were the window to her emotions. When he looked at Quin, his brother gave him a slight nod and shrug of his shoulders.
    Gray wanted to ask Quin what he had said to Eva but was going to have to wait for them to have some time away from her before he began questioning his brother. He smiled at Eva when she turned toward him. She was small. The top of her head only reached to just below his shoulders, and he wasn’t even as tall as Quin. He hoped their size didn’t intimidate her. Stopping a few steps away, he lifted his hand, lightly clasping hers when she mirrored his gesture.
    “Come on into the house, sugar.” Gray led Eva toward the back porch. “Quin will get your things. Would you like a drink?”
    He watched as she looked around. Her eyes lit up when she saw the black granite countertops and the latest stainless-steel appliances and high-gloss white cabinets.
    “Wow, you guys have the best kitchen.”
    “Do you like to cook, sugar?”
    “Yes, I do. I didn’t get much of a chance though. I was always working such long hours and Mom worked two jobs for a long while, but when she met Jack and he moved in, she didn’t have to work anymore so she did all the cooking.”
    “Feel free to cook anytime you want, honey,” Quin said with a grin as he entered the kitchen.
    “Thanks.”
    “Come on and let me show you the rest of the house.” Gray led her through the house, showing her where everything was. Once done, he led her back to the first bedroom near the start of the hallway, which was just off the huge living room. “This will be your room, Eva. I’m sorry you don’t have a private bathroom and will have to share with myself and Pierson.”
    “You’re kidding, right?” She gave him a wry smile. “This room is much larger than mine back home, and since my mom’s house was small, I’m used to sharing a bathroom.”
    “Where do you want your bag, darlin’?” Pierson asked as he came into her room.
    “Just put it on the bed, thanks. I’ll unpack later.”
    “Coffee’s ready,” Quin’s voice called loudly.
