Seven Nights of Sin (Penthouse Affair #2)
Chapter 40 Dominic
Dominic
Four months later
Presley, Francine, and I are in the kitchen, taking turns cooking and diverting the twins away from the myriad hot and pointy objects in play, when the doorbell rings.
“Go ahead. I’ve got things under control here,” Francine says.
I glance up from tending my potful of bubbling potatoes. “You sure?”
“Of course—you’re the hosts. Now shoo, dearies.” She flicks her hand at us with a smile.
We answer the door to a young man I recognize from photos as Presley’s brother, and an affable-looking guy with brown eyes and a mop of unruly black curls.
“Thank you for coming. I’m Dominic.”
Michael shakes my hand, and when he smiles, I can see the resemblance between him and Presley right away. They share the same curious blue eyes and high cheekbones. “Thanks for the invite. This is Elijah.”
“Make yourselves at home,” I say, stepping aside to let them in.
Presley hugs Michael and pecks him on the cheek. “I’m so glad you could make it.”
“I wouldn’t miss Thanksgiving with my big sister,” he replies with a grin.
“And Elijah,” she says, smiling. “It’s so nice to meet you. I’ve heard good things.”
“Then they’re all true,” Elijah says.
Michael shoots a grin at the other boy that’s so adoring, I almost expect cartoon hearts to float up around their heads.
Ah, young love . . . wait, did I really just think that? Dammit, being a dad has made me prematurely old.
Her eyes sparkling, Presley leans toward Michael. “Are you two exclusive yet?”
“Sis . . .” Michael groans, like the teenager he so recently was.
