He shifted, presumably to block anyone else’s view of her from the door. As it was, she was wearing only her panties and a thin tank that barely reached her navel. Truth was, he was lucky she was wearing that. Bristol wouldn’t say she was a naturalist, but she did have a penchant for wandering naked around her house. It was one of the benefits of living alone.
“May I come in?”
She stepped back out of the way, gesturing him inside.

“Do you always answer the door like that?” Kaden asked when Bristol closed the door behind him.
“No,” she said quickly, a hint of pink rising to her cheeks. “In my defense, no one usually comes to my door, so I’m not forced to open it while I’m barely dressed.”
“Do you usually hang out at home”—he nodded his chin toward her lack of clothing—“like that?”
Please, please,pleasesay yes.
Bristol peered down at herself then back up at him, more pink infusing her cheeks. “If I’m bein’ completely honest, I’m a bit overdressed for a casual Sunday.”
“Really?” Intriguing.
Then again, it was a bit warm in her house. Was that because she was barely dressed? Or was she barely dressed because it was hot?
Kaden peeled his coat off, handing it to Bristol when she held out her hand. She turned and hung it on a tall, skinny coat rack like his parents had had back when he was a kid.
“I thought you had things to do today,” she said, changing the subject.
“I do. But I wanted to see you. Figured maybe we’d spend some time together. Alone.”
She was staring up at him, her blue eyes flashing with what looked like desire. “Where’s Keegan?”
“He went to help out Sawyer and Kennedy. Watch the kids for a bit. So you’ve got me all to yourself for a while.”
His thoughts flashed back to Bristol and Keegan in her kitchen yesterday. Kaden had walked in and found her naked with his brother’s head between her legs. It had been a shock in one of the best possible ways.
“Well, come in.” She stepped back, gestured toward the couch.
Kaden couldn’t take his eyes off her. “So, you like to walk around your house naked?”
“You don’t?” she countered.
“Not usually, no.”
“I guess that’s one of the benefits of livin’ alone. I don’t have to worry about someone catchin’ me in my birthday suit.”
Rather than sit down, he turned to face her, eyes still traveling down her sweet little body. “I’d like to see that birthday suit.”
Honestly, he hadn’t meant to say the words out loud.
“That can be arranged,” she replied, her voice raspy.
His gaze lifted to her face.
Definitely desire in those pretty blue eyes.
Unable to resist, Kaden stepped forward, closing the space between them. He cupped the side of her face, tilting her head back as he leaned in and kissed her.
When he pulled back, they continued to stare at one another. It was then the heat turned into something more potent. A firestorm blazing between them, electricity sparking as it arced. Not that it was a new thing. It had been there for as long as he could remember. The only difference was that Bristol was no longer pretending otherwise.
“For fuck’s sake,” he grumbled, reaching for her again as he crushed his mouth to hers.
