She\u2019s only recently met Jon, who lived in Canada when she was dating his younger brother Tyler. And she dumped Tyler three years ago. Perhaps these details ease the ick-factor those of us with real-life brothers-in-law feel.<\/p>\n<p>Jon himself is not immune to feeling uncomfortable that the woman he\u2019s having sex with also used to practically live with his younger brother. And the sexual side of their relationship is what he focuses on.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<blockquote style=\"background-color: #ffffcc;\"><p>She was hands down the sexiest, most responsive lover he\u2019d ever had. Tyler must have been nuts to let her slip away.<\/p>\n<p>Jon ground his teeth. He wasn\u2019t sure from which dark, reptilian part of his brain that thought had popped up, but he didn\u2019t want to hear from it again. The fact that Tyler knew Gabby intimately had always lurked in there somewhere, niggling at him, but he had refused to acknowledge it. He didn\u2019t want to think about his brother with her. Didn\u2019t want to imagine her undressing for him, moaning for him\u2014<\/p>\n<p>He shoved the piece of wood he\u2019d been measuring along the workbench, sending a chisel flying into the wall.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019d never been jealous of his brother, not even when they were kids. They\u2019d had bigger fish to fry growing up, and as adults they hadn\u2019t seen each other enough to drum up any rivalry. Truth be told, he wasn\u2019t a jealous man. A perfectionist in his work, yes. A tough but fair boss, hopefully. But he\u2019d never coveted another man\u2019s woman before, and this seemed like a particularly shitty time to start.<\/p>\n<p><em>Gabby\u2019s not Tyler\u2019s woman. Not anymore.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Gabby, on the other hand, doesn\u2019t think about the weirdness of having sex with her ex\u2019s brother. Instead she focuses on the emotional blockades that destroyed her relationship with Tyler.<\/p>\n<p>Jon suffers from the same emotional constipation Tyler did, and these are the thoughts that torture her as he pushes her away.<\/p>\n<blockquote style=\"background-color: #ffffcc;\"><p>Gabby stood at the window, watching Jon drive away. Everything in her had wanted to go down there and throw her arms around him and tell him it was going to be all right. But Jon didn\u2019t want her comfort. He\u2019d made that more than clear. He held himself as tightly as a fist and while he might let her in for sex, he wasn\u2019t about to share the other parts of himself with her.<\/p>\n<p><em>Remind you of anyone?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>She\u2019d already played this game with one Adamson.
