face but keeping the bulk of it off of her shoulders and out of the water. 
    She sensed more than heard Mac’s approach and she gave him a beaming smile.  “Perfect timing,” she said.
    He made a non-committal sound and tossed a towel down and climbed into the tub.  The water did feel good, he admitted to himself, but his damn eyes hurt form forcing them away from the sight of Gina sans sarong.  Mac had just gotten comfortable when he saw Gina carefully stepping in to join him.  He was about to close his eyes when he heard her soft cry and then felt her fall directly into his lap.
    Instinctively, his arms went around her and Gina’s hands were on his shoulders, her breasts pressed against his chest.  Her mouth mere inches from his.  Mac’s tongue felt like it was the size of his fist but he forced himself to speak.  “Are you okay?” he asked, his voice low and gravely.
    Gina blushed.  “I’m not normally such a klutz.  I took that first step in and just lost my footing.  Sorry.”  She made no attempt to move; she couldn’t.  The feel of Mac’s arms around her was even better than she had ever imagined and if she could just get him to relax for more than ten seconds, maybe he’d enjoy it, too.  The hardness pressing against her thigh told her that he was.  She was hoping that he’d pull her closer.
    Mac gently moved Gina off of his lap.
    Sigh.
    “So,” she began as she shifted away from him slightly, “tell me what you’ve been up to?”
    “For the last ten years?” he joked.  “That could take a while.”
    Gina relaxed down in the jetted water and sighed.  “Believe me, this feels so good,” she purred, “that won’t be a problem.”
    Mac almost groaned out loud at the sight.  He cleared his throat and told her about how he had finished college and his early days working with his father.  Gina’s eyes were closed and Mac took the opportunity to just look at her.  Was she doing this to him on purpose?  Was she trying to tease him?  Her breasts were barely covered by the bubbling water and with her head thrown back to lean against the side of the tub, the sight of her slender throat had him itching to lean forward and lick the droplets of water that were there.  He felt himself fighting against the urge when Gina spoke.
    “It must be nice working with family,” she said softly, almost sleepily and Mac could envision her using that voice on him in bed.
    “There are good days and bad,” he admitted and then shared some stories to support his theory; anything to take his focus off of watching her sitting beside him half naked.  “After Lucas’s career ended, he was so bitter and there were times that it was difficult to have him around.  But once he and Emma got together?  He was a completely different man.”
    Gina smiled.  “I can’t wait to see him and to meet Emma and Lily.  I hope that once they’re all settled in at home that I can go over and visit.”
    Mac shrugged; he was sure that once his parents got home from their trip that they’d bring Gina with them to see his brother and his family.
    “I see Jason from time to time when he’s in Cali.  There’s never a lot of time to talk but it’s always nice to see a face from home.  I hear his wife is a sweetheart.  I hope to meet her, too.”
    “Believe me, I’m sure there will be a family gathering or two before you leave.”
    “I hope you realize how lucky you are,” she said as she opened her eyes and turned to face Mac.
    “For what?” he asked, thoroughly confused.
    “You have a wonderful family; you have no idea what it’s like to have no one to support you.”
    “Your father supports you, Gina.  He’s always been very proud of you.”
    She sat up a little straighter, her tone a little sharper than she intended.  “I never doubted that my father was proud of me.  By support I meant siblings who were there when you needed them.  I’m an only child and during my parents
