If she knew about his past, would she feel the same way?
Why did I care? Val was fun to be with and gave me awesome orgasms. End of story.
My brother and sister ran up to us, all grins and chuckles. Andrew had that gleam in his eyes that always meant he was about to razz me big time.
"Hey, Evie," he said, giving me a quick hug. "Hope you don't mind the surprise visit. Didn't know we'd be breaking up your private party."
Krista's lips twitched like she was trying not to smirk. "Must've been some party. You're all flushed, Evie."
"Don't tease your sister," Mom said. "Can't you see she's embarrassed enough already? But Evie, really, you don't need to be embarrassed. I'm glad you've found a man who makes you happy."
"Mom," I moaned, "I told you Val is not my boyfriend."
Andrew's grin turned positively goofy. "Not your boyfriend? You run off into the woods with lots of naked guys?"
"This is a nudist resort."
"Sure, but you were out in the woods with him all alone." He pointed at my dress. "And your dress is on backwards."
What? How had I not noticed that? Val hadn't seemed to notice either.
Before I could snarl at my brother, our mom said, "Be nice, Andy. Oh, what is your father doing over there? I'd better make sure he isn't giving Val a hard time."
My brother snickered and grinned some more. "I bet Val can handle himself fine. Can't he, Eve?"
Our mom smacked his arm on her way past him. She headed for the secluded spot on the other side of the lawn where my father had cornered my lover.
Krista sidled up to me and murmured, "Good job, Evie. Val is smokin' hot."
I wasn't sure what good job I'd done and decided I didn't want to know. Krista had a filthy mind.
My sister adopted a sarcastically dramatic tone of voice when she whispered, "Ollie told us Val is staying in your house."
"Uh, yeah, his room in the guest house got flooded by a burst pipe."
Krista leaned in closer, her face millimeters from mine. "Was that an accident, or did the pipe have a little help bursting?"
"Very funny." I settled one hand on my hip. "The pipe broke before Val even got here. I had no idea what he looked like or who he was. All I knew was his name. He might've been a pudgy sixty-year-old who smelled like cigar smoke."
"But he's not. He is one guy who absolutely should be a nudist." She glanced in Val's direction and sighed wistfully. "I love my fiancé, but Jeremy wouldn't know a weight machine if it dropped onto his head."
"Muscles aren't everything," Andrew said. He clucked his tongue and spoke in a tone of mock chastisement. "Shame on you, Kris. Aren't you supposed to love your fiancé for who he is, not what he looks like?"
"Yes, but that doesn't mean I can't appreciate a beautiful man. Val is eye candy." She winked at me. "Except to Eve. I bet he's all sorts of other kinds of candy for her."
"Ech," Andrew said, feigning a dry heave. "Don't make me hurl."
With an inward groan, I resigned myself to my fate. Today was going to be a blast.
Of the atomic bomb variety.
I loved my family, but really, could they have a chosen a worse moment to pop in for a surprise visit? I guessed I ought to be grateful they hadn't all tramped down the trail to the hot spring with Heidi.
Andrew scanned his gaze over the lawn until he spotted Val and our parents. His brows squished together. "I'd swear I've seen Val somewhere before."
Oh God, don't let my brother have seen the sex tape.
Even if he hadn't, Ollie knew about Val's past and might've blabbed to Andrew.
