Reath’s arms closed around me. The kiss he pressed to my lips was quick and soft. “And I’m in love with her.”

I steeled myself and turned to face Jack. His face looked unreadable, and I fought the urge to fidget.

I loved my brother, and I loved Reath. I didn’t want to choose between them.

Then Jack grinned. “My plan worked.”

I blinked. “What?”

Reath’s hands flexed on me. “You asshole.”

“The best man I know wouldn’t let himself believe in love, and the best woman I know, even though she has a god-awful singing voice, was too busy losing herself in her work.”

“Hey,” I protested. “My voice isn’t that bad.”

“I knew you’d be perfect for each other.” Jack laced his hands behind his head, looking smug. “I just needed to throw you two together.”

I opened my mouth, but no sound came out. I was speechless.

Then, beside me, Reath started laughing.

I huffed out a breath. “I should be pissed at you, Jack Colson Parker, but since I’m in love with an awesome, handsome guy, and you’re not dead, I’m going to stick with being happy.”

My brother’s smile widened. “Good. And you’ll probably be seeing more of me, monkey. The shrapnel damaged my eye and has reduced my vision.”

I gasped. “You can’t go back on missions?”

He shook his head. “It was time for a change, anyway. Especially if you two start giving me nieces and nephews.”

“Talk about getting ahead of yourself,” I muttered.

Reath slid an arm around me, a warm look on his face.

Oh. He wanted kids. One day, so did I. I smiled back, my head filling with images of what Reath’s babies might look like. My belly clenched.

“Now, can you guys get me some decent food?” Jack demanded. “What they serve here is crap.”

A few weeks later

“This had better be good, Reath Fury.”

I shuffled along, a blindfold over my eyes.

I felt warm lips at my ear. “It will be. Trust me?”

“You know I do.”

Warmth bloomed in my chest. These last few weeks had been so good. I’d officially moved in with Reath, and all my stuff was unpacked. Jack was due out of the hospital soon, and getting better every day.

He was considering taking a job at PSS. I had my fingers crossed he would.

I spent a lot of my time with Reath’s family. I loved them all. The ladies and I had decided to make a monthly girls’ cocktail night a thing. No men invited.

I loved the women attached to the Fury brothers. They were smart, fun, and caring. Little Daisy included.
