forthcoming with any more information until Mason did what he wanted.
    Mason settled into the leather armchair and crossed his legs, keeping his composure despite his worry about Dana. Had something happened?
    “Well?” he prompted.
    “She’s fine. She’s gone away on a weekend trip with her mother.”
    Mason’s eyebrows arched upward. In the whole time they’d all lived together, which had been close to two years, he had never seen that woman spend any quality time with her daughter. Now they had suddenly gone off on a trip together?
    “What the hell’s going on?” Mason demanded.
    His father opened his desk drawer, then pulled out a brown envelop. He slid it across the glossy wood surface of the big desk toward Mason. Mason leaned forward and picked it up, then opened the envelope and pulled out the contents. It was a photograph and he stared at it with a frown. And a little shock.
    It was a picture of him, naked, sporting a full erection. Sound asleep, it seemed.
    He shoved it back in the envelope and tossed it on the desk.
    “What the hell is this about? Have you put surveillance cameras in my room?”
    Fuck, suddenly he wondered if his father knew about Dana sneaking into his room at night and sleeping on his couch.
    “No, but maybe I should have.” His father’s hawk-like gaze bored into him.
    “Then where the hell did you get this?” Mason demanded.
    “We found that, ” his father pointed a finger at the envelope, “on your sister’s computer. Did you give her that photo?”
    Mason scowled. “Of course not.” He couldn’t get his head around the fact that Dana had this picture. “How did you know it was on Dana’s computer? You have no right to invade her privacy.”
    “Maria found it. She went into Dana’s room to clean and Dana had left that on her computer screen.” He shrugged. “Maria felt she had to let me know.”
    Mason scowled. “You’re sticking with that story?” There were so many holes in it, he didn’t know where to begin. The most obvious being that Dana would never leave a picture like that showing on her screen, and even if she had, the screensaver would have kicked in. Maria had to have been snooping.
    “The bottom line is that I did find it. It doesn’t matter how.” He stared into Mason’s eyes. “So you’re screwing her?”
    Mason glared at him. “Of course not. I would never do that.”
    “The picture suggests otherwise.”
    “You do see that I’m asleep in that picture?”
    Chas shrugged. “Your eyes are closed. But no matter what you say, there is a picture of you, naked and fully aroused, on your younger sister’s computer. She got it somehow.” He crossed his arms. “And Maria has told me that more than once, she’s seen Dana sneak out of your room first thing in the morning. Still in her pajamas.”
    “It was innocent,” Mason said.
    His father’s eyebrows arched. “So you admit it.”
    Mason sighed. “I admit nothing, except to say that nothing has happened between Dana and me. How she somehow got a picture of me, asleep in my bed, I can’t comment on, but there was nothing more to it.”
    His father pushed himself to his feet and walked around the desk, then picked up the envelope. “Do you know what this would do to our family if it got out?” he said, waving the envelope at him.
    Mason stared at Chas stonily. “Well, it seems that it would only get out if you let it out.”
    Chas nodded and perched against the desk. “True. And, of course, I wouldn’t do that.”
    He pulled the photo from the envelope again and dropped it on the desk in front of Mason. His gaze fell on Mason again, this time glittering with challenge. “But I should take it up with Dana.”
    Mason’s gaze reluctantly fell on the photo. It was so damning, especially in the context of having been found in Dana’s possession. He could just imagine Dana being faced with that photograph, presented by his father, probably with her mother present, and how mortified
