Wine and Roses (16 page)

She’d been staring up and down at the passengers filling the area trying to see if she could spot two men together who looked like twins and also looked like Simon. People were coming from both directions, and they weren’t exactly sure which carousel the bags would be on. But it had to be one of the two they sat between. Simon seemed so calm but she knew he used those glasses as a shield for more than against light. There was passion and emotion within him. Lots of it. His hand clenched in hers, as excited and nervous as she.

He couldn’t tell her much about what Josh and Jas looked like. The last time he’d seen them they were ten, and they were fraternal twins, but he said they all had the same grey eyes. Pride laced through his voice when he spoke about them as children, and what they’d done with their lives as adults, joining the military to honor their older brother.

She felt the touch of his lips on her fingers, and it went straight to her toes, but at his question her head swung in his direction. Sure she hadn’t heard him right. “What?”

“I think he just asked you to marry him?”

She looked up past his shoulder, and he swung around at the sound of the voice. Two men stood there. One rested his arm against the other’s shoulder, both sported short-cropped dark hair. One wore dark wraparound sunglasses. The other, his eyes were the color of ones she’d seen before. She stood up, and Simon seemed slower to rise. All of them were about even in height and built. Not only were they twins, but all three could have been triplets. They were a younger version of their older brother.

“Yeah, Josh. I heard that, too.”

“Well?” Jas asked. “Don’t leave our big bro hanging.”

“Yes,” she croaked, squeezing the hand Simon had yet to release. He’d been staring at his siblings, but at her answer, he swung back to her and kissed her. She kissed him back then raised her head. “We can continue this later. Right now introduce me to your brothers.”

“Josh, Jas.” He looked back and forth to the grinning young men. The smile on his face was reflected in his eyes. “I have no idea which is which but this woman is Eboni Stiles, and she’s going to be my wife.”

Both men hugged their brother then hugged her and introduced themselves. Tears coursed down her face, and she did not care. She gathered them all together in a group hug.

“Welcome home.”
