girl. Get your own hair. Mine isn’t removable.”
    “Do you want kids?” Gabrielle persisted.
    “I—” Sabrina started to speak, but Brody interrupted her.
    “Why would she want a pesky varmint like Rella that upchucks on perfectly clean shirts all the time?”
    Shocked, Sabrina stared at him as he moved into her line of vision. He’d put on a shirt as she’d requested, this one a tan Dickie’s work shirt, and left it un-tucked from his jeans. He didn’t button it, however, leaving all those muscles and springy dark chest hair visible to taunt her. Interestingly enough, the sight lost temptation after his comment sank in.
    Gabrielle laughed and waved a hand in his direction. “Don’t mind Mr. Grumpy, Sabrina. He’s kidding.”
    “I’ll show you Mr. Grumpy,” Brody grumbled and reached for the baby. Sabrina hesitated, not wanting to hand the sweet girl over to him, uncle or not. He didn’t give her a choice. “You know I’m not grumpy, don’t you, Rella? Yes, that’s right. You can puke on me anytime you want, princess.”
    “She doesn’t know yet how privileged she is,” Gabrielle told Sabrina. “She’s the only woman alive who can get away with making a mess on her uncle like that.”
    “Her name is Rella?” Sabrina watched in awe as Brody cooed and held the baby up high, baring her tummy and making raspberry sounds on her flesh.
    “Isabella,” a male voice corrected from the sofa. The man didn’t bother to stand but nodded his greeting and introduced himself. “I’m Lyle. The father.”
    Gabrielle grimaced and shot him an apologetic look. “Sorry, honey. I’m a terrible hostess.”
    “You were busy with Bella.” Mother and father shared a smile and Gabrielle turned her attention back to Sabrina.
    “We call her Bella for short, but we can’t seem to convince Brody of that.”
    Brody looked at her. “Have you ever heard the tale of Cinder bella ?”
    Sabrina laughed, instantly understanding. “No, I don’t suppose I have.”
    “Well, there you go. That’s because there’s no such princess. Now Cinde rella existed, and she’s still the bell of the ball ’til this day. That’s a lady fit for a shiny slipper.”
    Gabrielle rolled her eyes, but her smile spread from ear to ear. “He bought her a pair, too. Where he found a set of size zero silver slippers I’ll never know.”
    “And I’ll never tell. Can’t give away our little secrets, now can we?” he asked Isabella then wrinkled his nose. “That’s one secret a lady is supposed to keep.”
    “I just changed her.”
    Brody passed the baby on to his sister. “And you can change her again.”
    “Why don’t you do it, Uncle Not Grumpy?”
    “No can do. Sabrina here has already reminded me once she’s here for a business meeting.” He leaned closer to his sister and lowered his voice conspiratorially. “She’s got a hot date this evening.”
    Sabrina felt her cheeks flame, but she didn’t say anything. Little did he know exactly what kind of hot date she planned and who would be the star.
    “Come on.” His hand found the small of her back once more and he guided her out of the living room. “Everything you need is in the office.”
    Everything she needed. As the potency of his touch seeped into her flesh through the material of her shirt, she wondered if that everything included handcuffs, lube, and a bed with him naked between the sheets.

Chapter Three

    “You’re sure you’ve given me everything?” Sabrina looked up at Brody from beneath long lashes, one red-tipped fingernail tapping idly on the desk as she waited for him to answer.
    The red nails gave him a moment’s surprise. At first glance, she didn’t strike him as a woman with wicked needs and siren thoughts, things kept secret but exhibited subtly by red nail polish and sexy lingerie. A slightly deeper look revealed the truth, however. He caught the veiled hunger in her eyes, the simmering inner shock and awareness of needs taking form inside, of
