LuLu scowls at Nees as if this is all his fault.
“You’re going to have to watch those two,” Hadley says, smirking at me.
“Who?”
“Are you blind? What do you mean, who?”
I frown at her in confusion. “I’m genuinely not sure of what you’re talking about.”
Her brows lift in surprise. “Really, Romy? Come on.”
She turns and I follow her gaze. Nees, whenever he plays with Kaitlyn, never takes his eyes off LuLu.
“She’s too young for him,” I mutter, not liking the idea of what she’s suggesting.
“Not for long.” She shrugs. “Just saying. Mark my words. I bet anything that date was just to make someone jealous. She sure gave up on it easily.”
I whip my head over to look at LuLu. She’s showing Nova something on her phone, but I don’t miss the furtive glance Nees’s way.
No way.
Not happening.
Caius will murder Nees.
“I really wish you hadn’t pointed that out to me.”
Hadley laughs. “Someone needed to.”
Caius has vanished, so I stand up to go find him. Since Eva is out here and everyone around us cares about these girls, I know I can leave and they’ll watch them. Eva nods at me as I head for the house, confirming my thoughts.
I hear shouting in the conference room, Caius’s voice being the loudest. He’s pissed and I know exactly about what. Too bad he’s been misled.
Ugh.
“Everything. I want to know what this dipshit eats for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.”
Koyn grunts, tapping away on his laptop. Dragon is perched on the edge of the table, trying to get a good look at the “bad guy” in question. Poor Snap kid doesn’t know what’s coming.
“I don’t think we need to worry,” I say to my husband. “We have bigger problems.”
He whirls around to face me, concern etched in his handsome face. “Why? What’s going on?”
“Nees. I think she’s lowkey crushing on him.”
Koyn barks out a rare laugh. “Oh, shit.”
“Can I kill him?” Dragon asks. “Please? I’ve been fantasizing about this my whole life.”
Caius blinks at me, still not getting it. “She doesn’t like him. He’s an idiot.”
“A cute idiot,” I remind him. “A single idiot.”
“But she—”
“Will be an adult soon,” I finish for him.
Nees is a good guy. He won’t do anything until she’s legal and makes the first move. Still, it’s unnerving. I know this won’t sit well with Caius.
“I give you permission,” he says to Dragon, eyes flickering dangerously. “In fact, I’ll help. Where’s that new knife you got?”
I grab hold of Caius’s arm and drag him out of the conference room. I’m pretty sure Koyn isn’t going to let them kill his nephew, but you never know. I’ll have to distract my man. Good thing I know exactly what to do.
“I need to tell you something,” I say, flashing Caius a conspiratorial grin. “In private.”
His anger transforms into hunger.
I lead the way, teasing my stalking predator.
Once inside the front bathroom, Caius locks us in, presses me against the door, and devours my mouth.
So much for telling him my secret.
He’s efficient at divesting me of my swimsuit and teasing me with his fingers. Within seconds, I’m orgasming so hard I whack my head on the door. And then he lifts me so he can fuck me against the door without a care in the world.
Our mouths meet again for a frantic kiss and right before he comes, I bite his lip and say, “Maybe the next one will be a boy.”
He growls as he comes and sputters out a, “What the fuck does that mean, love?”
But he knows.
I took a test this morning.
“It means we’re really good at making babies.”
He holds me, his cock now softening, but still nestled inside of me, and kisses the fire out of me.
This life of mine took a drastic turn when I got the bright idea to hunt for my missing roommate. I found myself in a lair with monsters, confused and terrified. Little did I know the most intimidating of them all would claim me as his. At first, it was fake, but now it’s anything but.
Our love story is strange.
Strangely beautiful.
If this is a crazed figment of my imagination, then I don’t ever want to wake up.
The End
