He steeples his fingers. “I see. Well, better you ladies get the offers than reality stars. You’re the ones we want our daughters to look up to. Not people famous for S-E-X tapes.”

Dylan giggles. “We can spell. We’re not two. You just said sex tapes. What are those?”

Tanner’s lips twist and he mumbles, “Ask your mom.” He looks back at me. “What offers have you had?” His jaw tics. “Let me know if you need help.”

“Thanks, but no thanks. I’ll never model again. Our mom had Kam and me modeling at a young age. Apparently there’s a big demand for twins.”

“Gorgeous twins. That’s the demand,” he grumbles.

Harper giggles. “You just called Bailey gorgeous, Daddy. Do you want to K-I-S-S her?”

He playfully narrows his eyes at her. “Watch it, Harper.”

All the girls giggle while I imagine what it would be like to kiss him.

Yep, I officially have a crush on my boss.

CHAPTER SIX

BAILEY

Ismile at my computer screen. “Yes, Daddy, she’s behaving.”

Kam stands behind my computer out of his line of vision, shakes her head, and mouths, “No, I’m not.”

I can’t help but let out a laugh, and my father smiles. “She’s behind your computer and she’s not behaving, is she?”

I shrug and Kam dives onto my bed in front of the screen. “I always behave, Daddy. I’m an angel.”

She bats her eyelashes while he raises an eyebrow. “Kamryn Sarah Hart, you haven’t behaved a single day since you were born. Your sister came flying out with ease and then the doctors had to reach into your mother to pull you out kicking and screaming.”

Kam twists her lips. “I certainly can’t imagine why I’d want to stay in Beverly. Even her uterus is probably hostile.”

Dad sighs. “You know she hates when you call her by her first name.”

“The title of mother is an earned one, Daddy, and she most definitely hasn’t earned it.”

He shakes his head. “Stop vilifying her. She’s not a bad person.”

Kam scoffs. “Did you throw up a little in your mouth when you said that?”

I better break this up. “As fun as Mom-bashing is, let’s change the topic. Daddy, have you seen many of our games?”

He smiles widely. “I watch all of them. You two are killing it. The announcers said Philly is loving you all and attendance grows every single day.”

I nod. “Yes. I’m sure you’ve heard that Arizona is dating Layton Lancaster. He comes to the games and brings other Cougars players. It’s been a huge draw.”

He shakes his head disapprovingly. “No, Bailey, it’s because of you and your teammates. You all are showing them how great you are. You’ve had three games where you two have gone back-to-back in home runs. With the way you two, Arizona, and Ripley are playing, that’s why the fans are attracted to you.”

Kam nods enthusiastically. “Fuck yeah, it is!”

Dad scolds, “Kamryn. Watch your mouth.”

I nod in agreement. “Speaking of which, I just got a job nannying and found myself cursing in front of the kids. I need to censor my Kam-inspired potty mouth.”

His face falls. “I thought you two were making more money in Philly. Are you okay? Why do you need a second job during your season?”

Kam answers, “We’re making decent money, and we have a lot of modeling offers, but Bails doesn’t want to do any of them. I’m doing ads for a skincare line. Bailey would rather work for pennies compared to what we can get for a few hours in front of a camera.”
