Do Date Your Handsome Rival (Jewel Family Romance Book 3) Read online

  Breeze screamed and jumped at the same time. She would’ve turned tail and run but they were quickly both in front of her. She backed into the scratchy pine tree, fighting for oxygen as her stomach plummeted then somersaulted then threatened to launch itself up her throat.

  She stared at the men, quickly surmising that they were both tall, muscular but lean, extremely handsome with startlingly blue eyes, and identical twins.

  The one on her right held up his hands as if soothing a small child. “Hey, it’s okay,” he said in a deep, sonorous voice that instantly relaxed her. “We won’t hurt you.”

  Breeze’s gaze darted back and forth between them. She had no reassurances besides his deep voice and the kind look on his handsome face, but somehow she believed him. Her shoulders relaxed, her heart slowed, and she didn’t think she was going to spew at this exact moment.

  “I’m Seth,” he said slowly. “This is my brother, Caleb. Are you in trouble? Are you hurt?”

  The brother rolled his eyes. “Stop talking to her as if she’s slow.”

  Seth glared at him. “I’ll give you slow.” He punched him in the shoulder. He focused back on Breeze. “Sorry, my twin’s an obtuse idiot.”

  Caleb laughed as if the insult meant nothing to him. Breeze and her brother were very nice to each other. Their parents had belittled them plenty so they’d both taken an opposite track.

  Seth held out his hand. “Seth Jewel,” he said, obviously still giving her the opportunity to pretend they’d met at the local merc or something. His name and face were somehow familiar. Was he a movie star? He was handsome enough to be that’s for sure.

  Breeze somehow knew touching this man would complicate her already messy life further but she bravely put her hand in his. The warmth and safety conveyed by his large hand closing around hers made her unsteady yet invigorated. She pulled in a slow breath and focused on his eyes. She’d never studied eyes that blue and beautiful. “Breeze Cain,” she managed.

  Seth smiled, probably relieved that she wasn’t mute, but his smile made her knees tremble. She recognized she was socially behind as the only time she left her small town of two hundred was to go to the big town of Preston and wait tables, but she was certain they didn’t make men like this back home.

  “Cain?” the brother asked. “Like Cain and Abel or cane sugar?”

  “You are such an idiot,” Seth said, releasing her hand to push his brother into the closest tree.

  Breeze shuffled away, hoping they weren’t going to start rolling around on the ground again, but luckily the brother just laughed and said, “Testy, testy.”

  Seth turned back to her, ruffling his hand through his golden-brown hair. “Sorry. I can’t take him anywhere.”

  Breeze found herself smiling. She’d had so little to smile about, especially the last few days it felt awkward, and really, really nice. “Has anyone ever told you two you act like you’re twelve year old boys?”

  Caleb threw back his head and laughed. “Only our beautiful mother, every other minute.
