aloud. But Toby
knew that he’d still keep his thoughts to himself even if only Josh could hear
the conversation.
    Yeah, bro. I’m
good.
    You don’t look it.
You’d better keep your ass over on that side of the table. I have enough shit
to deal with since Rob’s touching my woman. I won’t tolerate you doing it, too, Jack warned.
    Dude, she ain’t
yours , Rob said
as his hand moved under the table, obviously touching Krista some more. She’s mine as long as she’s here.
    It took all Toby’s willpower not to growl out loud, much
less through their mental communication. Jack wasn’t as controlled, as the
animalistic sounds vibrated through their connection.
    Enough! I will not
have my sons fighting over her like she’s prey. You will show her respect and
allow her to make the choice. Now enough with the mental communication with
Krista around. She’s a smart woman, and I don’t want her getting suspicious .
    Toby looked away and went back to his meal. Getting
reamed by his dad wasn’t on the top of his list of the most enjoyable
activities. So, he’d just keep his focus on his food and get the hell out of
here.
    Toby was almost finished eating when he caught Mikaela
and Krista whispering. He didn’t want to keep looking, but the distressed look
on Krista’s face had his protective instincts flaring without warning. Then
Mikaela stood, followed by Josh.
    “We’re going to bed. Goodnight, everyone.” Mikaela
smiled.
    Fearing he’d be stuck here with Krista, Toby shot up.
“I’m going—”
    “Me, too,” Krista said at the same time, standing when he
did. They both stared at each other, and Toby knew the shock he saw on Krista’s
face mirrored his own. Mikaela, on the other hand, was grinning like a shit-eating
possum.
    “Oh, perfect. Toby, can you see Krista to her room? We’d
do it, but you know we stay in one of the cabins now.”
    “Er.” What the fuck was he supposed to say? Krista knew
where her room was. As far as he knew, she’d already unpacked and showered. Naked.
In the shower, all soaped up, rubbing her body, caressing her breasts. Whoa. Must avoid all thoughts of her in
the shower.
    “I’ll do it,” Jack stood.
    “You haven’t finished eating. Sit down,” Thomas said,
frowning.
    “Then I’ll do it,” Rob said after swallowing the biggest
bite of food Toby had ever seen him eat.
    “Don’t be silly. Toby was just leaving anyway. Isn’t that
right, son?”
    Shit. Just what he needed. Another
reproving look from his father. Okay, he could do this. He needed to get used
to her being around anyway. If he went out of his way to avoid her at all cost,
then his father would know something was up. Not that he cared if everyone knew
he didn’t want to pursue Krista sexually, but if his dad thought he was being
rude to her, it’d backfire. And he didn’t want to spend hours talking to his
dad about Krista and engaging in more activities with her in an effort to make
her feel welcome. He needed to keep his interaction with her to a minimum
without overdoing it.
    Throwing on a smile, he looked over at Krista. “Of
course. I’d be happy to escort you.”
    Then she smiled back, and he knew he was totally fucked.

    Krista felt weak staring at those killer dimples. Gawd, she was a mess. She’d just wanted
to get away from the man pawing at her and the other one staring at her so hard
it was as if he were trying to coax her over to him through sheer will alone.
She didn’t even know how to feel about the sexy silent one. She felt like
Goldilocks trying out the three bears. One brother was just too intense, the
other was too forward, and the other didn’t seem to want anything to do with
her. Of course that one was the one who seemed to get her engine running. Maybe
it was her sense of self-preservation that drew her to him. There was no doubt
in her mind if she invited one of the other two up to her room, he’d take her
up on the offer. But for some reason, she felt
