it?”
    “Mama loved it.” He sat adjacent to her, grasped her hand, kissed her knuckles. Feathers of desire teased her. “Thanks for always entertaining my familyso well.”
    They spoke of the day, the people who had come to the party. “Our kids always have so much fun at these gatherings.” She frowned. “But Sinead seemed preoccupied a little.”
    “He’s almost twenty. Guess what he’s preoccupied with?”
    “Hmm. Just like his dad was then.”
    Pat stared over at her. Studied her. She was absolutely beautiful, especially with the moon kissing her faceand hair. He tugged on the strings of her outfit. “Then and now, you know you make me hot with just a look, girl.”
    “Do I?” She leaned in close and whispered in his ear. “I don’t have anything on under this.”
    “Fuck. You’re gonna kill me someday with your teasing.”
    He glanced at the house. “What about the kids?”
    “The boys have overnights with Hogan and Cleary. Isabella and Kathleenwere worn out from the party. They’re fast asleep, but I have the baby monitor here in case they wake up.”
    He glanced out over the pool. The space was sheltered, too, with the high fences and trees. They’d done some interesting things out here, when they could grab the privacy. This would be another of those times. He sipped his wine, enjoying its tart taste. “Aren’t you a smart girl to havearranged all that?”
    “And you’re gonna be a lucky man, Patrick O’Neil.”
    His laugh echoed through the backyard.
    Brie liked to shock him. Mix things up. She stood and slipped off the garment and tossed it at him. It landed in his face, then she turned and dove into the pool. The water had cooled some, feeling good on her heated skin.
    After wrenching off his swim trunks, he dived inafter her. She was floating in the shallow end, and he came up next to her, grabbed her around the waist, made her stand. “You drive me crazy.”
    “Good.” He nuzzled her neck, sending shivers through her whole body. His hands found her breasts, and he kneaded her. Tension invaded her, and soon she began to moan. His hand went lower to tease all the sensitive spots there. “Oh, God, Pat. You’reso good.”
    “Hmm.” His erection nudged her backside. “I love you, Brie.”
    “I love you…oh, man. Wow.”
    “Want to come this way?”
    “No. Inside me. From behind.”
    “Whatever you want,
a ghrá
.” Pat walked her to the edge of the pool and gently bent her over. Entered her slowly. Began to move. As he did, the water lapped in time with his thrusts. Soon the waves swirled as he brought themboth to climax.

    The man was fidgeting. He knew this would be slow, and he’d always believed he had more control, but he was getting anxious. The situation wasn’t progressing fast enough, and he could ruin it if he wasn’t careful. “Be patient,” he said to the empty room. “Be patient.”

Chapter 6

    “What are you looking at, sweetheart?”
    When Clay stepped out onto the back lawn of the White House and asked the question, Bailey quickly closed the photo album in her lap. His agentsmoved to join Mitch, who was keeping an eye on the kids. They stood in the shade for a good view of Bailey and Clay, too. As always.
    “Just some pictures.” She gestured to Rory and Angel, playing with their half-brother Jon in the hot afternoon sun while Tyler slept inside. Clay had been in a meeting all day on Capitol Hill. “The kids will be glad to see you. When did you get back?”
    “I’lltell you in a minute.” He took the book from her hands, settled in a chair and opened it. Inside he’d find pictures of her family and some of her coworkers at ESCAPE, the website she used to run, which helped get young girls out of gangs.
    After he perused the photos, he peered over at her. His hair was perfectly cut and in place, his face a bit tanned. He looked healthy and happy. “You’relonely, aren’t you?”
    “Some.”
    “Because you missed your mother’s birthday
