and Army Ranger or not, I’m kicking your ass.”
    “I’m not going to let my sister down. I told you I wasn’t. I’m a man of my word and I have never done anything for you to think that, so back off.”
    “She’s my wife now. You know I have to think about what’s best for her,” he said as they reentered the bakery. “Speak of the devil. There she is.”
    She was talking to a customer and for a moment Clayton didn’t recognize who it was until he heard her laugh.
    Daisy.
    He hadn’t seen her for a few days now, but that didn’t mean she hadn’t crossed his mind on more than a few occasions. There were few kisses that Clayton remembered. His first, that time the girl with the braces bit his lip and made him bleed, and Daisy’s. She had tasted like ice cream, warm melted ice cream and with the way she brought that soft body into his and made those soft breathy moans made it even sweeter. It made him feel like he could live in that kiss.
    “I wonder what she’s doing home so early,” Alex said to himself, a worried look on his face. He left Clayton and crossed the room to his wife.
    “Are you okay, Mags?” He took her face in his hands and kissed her, ignoring Daisy completely. “Why are you home so early? Are you sick?”
    “No, silly. I’m fine. I just took a half day off.”
    “You sure?” He kissed her face a few more times. “What can I do for you?”
    “I’m fine, but if you really want to do something you can feed me lunch.” She looked back at Daisy. “I’m going to have to cash in on this doting thing while I can. Once the babies come I’m going to be chopped liver.”
    “Hi, Daisy,” Alex said. “I didn’t see you there.”
    “Really? You must be in love, because I’m kind of hard to miss.”
    Clayton walked up behind her then. Her hair was up today in some kind of messy bun that looked sexy on her. She wore a sundress it was black and from far away it looked like it had white and pink flowers on it, but as he got closer he could see there were tiny skulls along with the flowers. He might not have liked that dress on anybody else, but on her it worked.
    He was about to call her name to say hello, but the little tattoo at the base of her neck distracted him. It was a tiny pink butterfly with the letters AG beneath it. “I didn’t know you had a tattoo here,” he said to her as he brushed his thumb across it. She caught his hand and held it on her neck as she turned around. “Those are my kid’s initials,” she said with a shy smile. “I got it because she kind of just flew into my life.”
    “I like it. You got anymore tattoos in places I haven’t seen?”
    “I’d bet you would love to find out.” Again his eyes went to her lips. Those pretty soft lips that he thought about more often than he would like to admit. Those lips he thought about kissing other places on his body.
    “I’m guessing you two know each other?” He heard Maggie ask. It was then he realized how close they were standing, with her breasts nearly brushing against his chest. His fingers were curled around the back of her neck and they hadn’t looked away from each other once since he touched her.
    “We do,” he said, still looking at Daisy.
    “Clayton is my next door neighbor.”
    “Oh? You didn’t tell me you lived next door to my brother.”
    “I had no idea he was your brother until about a week ago or so.”
    “But you moved here six months ago. It just came up?”
    “I guess neither one of us is very neighborly.” She looked away from him to Maggie. “We’ll have to work on that. My kid tells me I should make an effort.”
    “We’re getting there.” He unwillingly dropped his hand from her neck and took a step away from her. He felt Maggie’s eyes on them and knew he shouldn’t let his sister get any wrong ideas about them, but he didn’t really care what she or his brother-in-law thought. Ever since he kissed her that first time his body didn’t want to stay away from her,
