Possessed By Passion. Brenda Jackson

they left the hospital yesterday and they’re doing fine. Galen is doing okay, too. In fact, he’s on cloud nine.”

      “I can’t picture him married.”

      “I couldn’t, either, but it happened. And I’ll admit there’s something pretty special between him and Brittany.”

      “She’s not from here, right?”

      “No. She’s from Florida. She was in town on business when they met.”

      “Have they named the twins yet?”

      “They gave my mother the honor and she came up with Ethan and Elyse.”

      A smile spread across Hunter’s lips. “Oh, I like that.”

      “My brothers and I figured she couldn’t help but seize the opportunity to give the twins names starting with the letter E to match hers.”

      As they ate, Tyson tried not to glance over at Hunter. Conversation between them had stopped, and he couldn’t help wondering what she was thinking. Although whatever thoughts going through her head were a mystery to him, those going through his own head were not. Simply put, he wanted her. How could a woman he hadn’t seen in eighteen years hold his interest like she was doing? It didn’t make sense. No woman had ever gotten to him this way and without any effort on her part. At least not any conscious effort. He doubted she was aware of just how alluring she was without even trying.

      Even wearing a pantsuit he didn’t miss her small waist and sexy curves. And on more than one occasion when he’d glanced at her while they were eating, he hadn’t missed the hardened tips of her nipples beneath her blue silk shirt. That meant she wasn’t as immune to him as she pretended to be. And when he had reached out to stroke her hand, he’d felt the sparks and knew she had, as well.
