Love All Out - Part 2 (A Stepbrother Romance) (10 page)

James shook his head and pulled on his boxer shorts. He pulled a clean t-shirt from his back pack and tossed it to me. “I don’t want to take it back. I thought I was doing the right thing, walking away from you. But I can’t do it. I’m not strong enough.”

I gave James a soft kiss and pulled his t-shirt over my head. “I know it will be hard. But I really think we can find a way to make it work.”

James lay back down on the blanket and I curled up on his chest. “I don’t think we should say anything about this,” he told me. “Let’s wait until the races and the wedding are over. Once everything else settles down, we’ll find a way to tell everyone about us.”

“Speaking of the wedding, we still have an awful lot of planting to do,” I reminded him. I moved to sit up and James pulled me back down into his arms.

“We’ll get to it,” he told me. “I’m exhausted. I just need to lay here for a few minutes.”

I nuzzled back into his chest, and we drifted off to sleep.

“Well, well, well… what do we have here?”

I opened my eyes and found Bradley sneering down at us. I jumped up and James stirred awake.

“What are you doing here?” I demanded, reaching for my jeans. James stood up and moved between me and Bradley.

“Dad and I stopped by to see Cole, and he mentioned that he’d expected the two of you to be back by now. I was worried, so I volunteered to check on you. My, oh my. How will I describe what I just walked in on?”

James glared down at him, but we had no defense. We’d literally been caught with our pants down.

“Bradley, this isn’t what it looks like,” I insisted. I pulled on my jeans and stared down at the blanket, searching for an excuse.

Bradley snorted. “Oh, I think it’s exactly what it looks like. Tell me, Willow. Isn’t inbreeding frowned upon in the thoroughbred world? I wonder what all of your fancy horse friends will think when they find out that you’re screwing your stepbrother.”

“You bastard,” James growled. “It’s our word against yours. Everyone that matters has seen that video of you forcing yourself on Willow at the Derby. No one will take you seriously.”

Bradley gave us a wide smile and pulled his cell phone from his pocket. “Then I guess it’s a good thing I snapped a few pictures before I woke you up.”

The color drained from James’s face and I felt like I was going to pass out.

We’re trapped. He’s going to tell everyone and it’s going to be a disaster, just like James warned.

Bradley slid his phone back into his pocket and gave us a devilish grin. “Now, I’ll be happy to keep this whole incident to myself… as long as you do exactly what I say.”
