here again. He missed his sisters and now with Alyssa, he found he wanted to spend even more time with them. He said as much to Sin when he was alone with her.
    “I’m making a career out of this, big brother, and as much as I love you, the thought of spending much time with you and Alyssa…well, let’s just say that it’s a little too much for one person to handle.”
    He flushed. “We’re newlyweds. Of course we like to spend time with each other. Someday it will happen to you and I plan to tease you about it as well.”
    She laughed, that full, throaty one that made men turn and stare, and women as well. Sin was the epitome of her name.
    “First of all, never going to happen. I don’t care for men all that much that I’d want to spend more than an hour or two with them if I’m not scratching some itch. Secondly, and more importantly, you two will be doing this for the rest of your lives. Enjoy her and yourself. Leave me be, all right?” She kissed his cheeks and it took some of the bite out of her statement. “I love you, Cain.”
    He nodded and told her he loved her too. But he wasn’t sure which bothered him more, the comment about not happening to her or the itch part. He decided not to touch either one. When her plane took off, he and Alyssa stood and watched the dot become smaller and smaller until it was nothing in the sky.
    “I like her. She’s a lot like you and Quinn, but more so. Did she tell you that she doesn’t plan on ever marrying?” Alyssa asked as they left the airport.
    Cain looked down at his wife. He wasn’t sure why it surprised him that she knew. Alyssa and Sin had spent a great deal of time together last night and this morning just talking. He was glad that Alyssa loved his sisters because they loved her as well.
    “I have an appointment with Drew in an hour,” Alyssa said as they got into his car. “We’re going to go over the Peabody account and then I have a meeting with the new employees at the store. What do you have planned for the day?”
    “My mother. She wants to talk to me about the money situation that my father left her in. Then I have a late day at the clinic. Are you coming over later?”
    Alyssa crinkled her nose. She and Guinevere Waite didn’t get along. Cain supposed that was an understatement. His mother still blamed Alyssa for the death of Cain’s father, Roscoe.
    Roscoe had kidnapped and threatened to kill Quinn if Alyssa didn’t give him two million dollars. When he’d tried to kill Cait Grant, she’d opened fire on him and killed him and his partner. It wasn’t Alyssa’s fault, of course, but his mother didn’t care. She seemed to think that it was, including the kidnapping, because she hadn’t given him the money in the first place. Money that he would have squandered before demanding more.
    “Okay, then I’ll meet you at home. I love you.” And she slipped out of the car in front of the Howard building.
    Cain drove to the hotel where his mother was staying. He didn’t invite her to their home, but he did pay for her stay. He shuddered to think what would happen if they were all under the same roof. Besides, he loved having their home all to themselves.
    The Howard estate was huge, as was the house. Just after Cain and Alyssa returned from their honeymoon several months ago, they’d moved in. Her mother had been staying there prior and it needed a major overhaul. Mother and daughter didn’t have anywhere near the same tastes in anything. Then there were the changes that had been made. Locks, security, and the staffing as well, as they had put in a solarium off the third story master bedroom.
    The house was massive at over fourteen thousand square feet of home. Upon entering the stunning two-story grand foyer, there was the spiral staircase that went up two more levels to the bedrooms and master suite on the uppermost floor. The master suite ha d its own safe room now, an exercise room, private patio, and sitting area. Huge walk-in cedar
