The guys were right behind me when we pulled into the driveway. I pushed those thoughts out of my mind, afraid one of them might notice where my thoughts had gone and turn them against me. It was silly, since they weren't actually mind readers, but my brothers had an uncanny knack for picking up on just the things I wanted to keep from them.
"I don't know about the two of you, but I'm starving!" Christian proclaimed as he lumbered out of his car. He grinned at us and slammed the door shut before striding over. "I hope Gabbie's cooking is still as good as it used to be!"
It had been a while since Christian had been over. He'd distanced himself from us for a while, diving into his work. But ever since the vow renewing ceremony, he'd rejoined the family, alongside his fiancé, Jade. They’d even gotten a house down here so they could spend more time with us. Heck, other than Aspen, I rarely saw my brothers. Jack was always busy with something or another, even now. He hadn't even been able to make it to the ceremony.
"Oh trust me, her cooking is still as good as ever." I patted my stomach, grinning at them. I had to spend a good bit of time in the gym to burn off the calories Gabbie insisted on feeding me. Her food was well worth spending my mornings at the office gym.
The guys laughed as we headed inside. Music floated through the house, coming from the kitchen. It was some upbeat pop tune I didn't recognize. As much as Gabbie and I had in common, our tastes in music were not one of them. I could only imagine who she was listening to, no doubt dancing her way through the kitchen like she normally did.
When I looked over at Aspen, he was dancing and swaying along with the beat, and I rolled my eyes. It was no wonder him and Gabbie got along so well. They probably had the most in common. It was a wonder they hadn't been the ones who'd gotten married. Aspen's marriage hadn't worked out, but perhaps he'd have had a steadier relationship with Gabbie instead.
Something welled up inside me at that thought. I didn't want Aspen to be married to Gabbie. I didn't want anyone else married to Gabbie. Not that I would stop her from marrying someone else. But I didn't like the idea of her being with anyone else. I wanted her to be with me.
I was so absorbed in my thoughts I didn't notice when the guys had stopped talking and frozen in place. I kept walking a couple more steps until Gabbie squeaking jarred me out of my dream world. Eyes wide open, I stood there, unable to move, trying to comprehend what I was seeing.
Gabbie was in the kitchen dancing all right. At least she had been when we'd walked in. Except, unlike when I normally found her in the kitchen, she was completely naked. Until she'd spotted us, her entire body had been on display, every inch of her visible to me and my brothers. Now she was trying in vain to cover herself with her hands, but it wasn't doing all that much.
Laughter echoed behind me as Christian and Aspen lost control of themselves. I looked back and glared at the two of them, regretting having invited them back to the house. At least they seemed to avert their eyes. Otherwise, I might have murdered them both.
"I uh...." Gabbie stuttered from across the kitchen. She hadn't moved from where she'd frozen, her hands still awkwardly trying to cover herself. "Uhh... uh." Not only had her body frozen but her mind had too. She stuttered, trying to speaking, though God only knew what she was trying to say.
"We should go," Christian said through his laughter. He'd taken a step back and turned so Gabbie wouldn't be in his line of sight anymore. "I think the two of you have a lot to talk about."
I glared at him but nodded. Sure, Gabbie could just go upstairs and get dressed, but I could only imagine how awkward dinner would be after something like this. No, it was better if they both left and we tried for dinner another night. A night when my wife wasn't dancing naked in our kitchen in front of my brothers.
God, how was I ever going to live this down?
Aspen nodded his agreement with Christian's statement. Then, he looked me in the eyes and grinned, the smug, little bastard. "Remember what I said." Then, he winked and the two of them headed back toward the front door, laughter still spurting out randomly.
I closed my eyes and took deep breaths, trying to clear my mind. Gabbie was still right behind me, and I had to think of something to say, something to do. But no matter what I did, all I could see in my mind was her naked body. She'd been moving so gracefully as she danced to the beat, her hips swaying, breasts bouncing.
Now that my brothers were gone, her nakedness was all I could think about. My cock was rock hard beneath my jeans and refused to go down. God fucking damn it, I thought to myself. How the Hell was I ever going to get that sight out of my mind? It wasn't the first time I'd seen Gabbie naked. We couldn't be married and share a bed together without ever seeing each other nude.
But it was the most sensual, erotic, thing I'd ever seen.
As if I wasn't already having enough trouble keeping my cock in line. Now what was I going to do?
