  ���Alright,��� Brody smiled, ���Goodnight then.���

  Emma was changing when Brody walked into the room, ���Did you forget something?���

  Brody took Emma���s robe out of her hand, ���Maddox���s sleeping in Lexi���s room with Henry.���

  He stepped back and looked at her, ���That means you and I have the room, to ourselves tonight.���

  Emma smiled as he pulled his shirt over his head and walked into the closet. Brody walked out with four scarves, ���Shall we wrap you in silk, Em?���

  Her mouth immediately went dry, and she nodded her head yes, ���Your eyes are sparkling Em.���

  Brody dropped his pants and lifted her, and she giggled.

  ���Laughing at me is ill advised at the present time, but humor me ��� tell me what brings that sensual sound from that delectable mouth,��� Brody traced her lips with his thumb and then his tongue. Emma moaned, ���That erotic sound Em, what brought it from your lips?���

  ���Brody on demand,��� she smiled.

  ���Hmm yes, all for you Em,��� Brody raised her arms in the air and wrapped her wrists in silk scarves and placed her bound arms over his head.

  He lifted her up, and she wrapped her legs around his waist and immediately started rubbing herself against him, ���Oh���ravenous girl, you must wait.���

  Brody ducked his head out of her arms and bit lightly on her nipple she moaned, and her legs tightened around him.

  ���No, no Em, you must wait,��� he whispered in her ear as he dropped her on the bed and swiftly spread her legs. He reached under the mattress for the rings they hadn���t used since he���d disappeared.

  Emma raised her foot and gently rubbed him, and he looked up at her and raised his eyebrow, ���Em������

  ���It was begging to be touched,��� Emma smiled.

  ���Begging to be touched, huh?��� He bit lightly on her pinky toe and she groaned.

  ���Yes, begging to be������ Brody kissed her hard and pulled back.

  ���Em, be quiet,��� Brody warned.

  ���Brody do me,��� Emma giggled.

  Brody swiftly tied a scarf around her head she opened her mouth to object and he pulled it tighter, part of the scarf filled her mouth, and he tied the bow around the outside.

  He clenched his jaw and looked at her, his voice was deep, ���Can you breathe?���

  She nodded her head yes quickly.

  ���Are you afraid?��� She shook her head no, ���If you want me to stop let me know.���

  He tied her legs wide apart and licked his lips and closed his eyes. He moved up her body skimming it with his finger tips and straddled her head he tied her bound hands to the ring behind the headboard and looked down at her.

  He grabbed a hold of himself and rubbed across her face and across the bow covering her mouth. Emma began squirming beneath him and scowled, ���Patience, love.���

  Brody used his mouth kissing and sucking down her body. Emma watched as he rubbed himself teasingly up and down her opening.

  ���So wet Em, so hot, you need me to fill you, but I���m not ready I want to taste your hot wet������ he lifted her up and licked her savagely and she felt herself explode she screamed out, but the sound was muffled as he continued giving her pleasure.

  ���Give it to me Em,��� his growl vibrated against her and she came harshly, almost painfully.

  ���Fuck ��� that is so good,��� he untied her legs and pushed into her.

  He untied her arms and draped them over his head as he pushed into her over and over again until he yelled into her neck, inaudible praise and curses.

  Brody lay beside he panting as he held her head tightly against his heart.

  ���Em,��� he started with a smile in his voice.

  ���Please don’t,��� she whispered.

  ���Damn it Em, I���m in awe of you,��� Brody said through his teeth.

  ���Apparently we are of you,��� Emma covered her face with a pillow.

  Brody pulled the pillow away and smiled at her and laughed, ���Who is we love?���

  Emma sat up and crossed her arms, ���Me and whatever controls all that.���

  Brody laughed and hugged her, ���We should name her something other than…���

  ���Don’t you dare,��� Emma buried her head in his chest.

  ���Amm… Sounds like yummy, and it sure as hell tastes that way. What do you think?��� He kissed her.

  ���I need a shower,��� Emma stood up and threw a pillow at him.

  ���I need to be in you again,��� Brody followed her in the bathroom.

  * * *

  ���Good morning,��� Emma kissed Brody and jumped out of bed.

  ���It could be better Em. Get back in bed, I have something for you,��� Brody flashed open the covers.

  ���I have three kids to feed,��� Emma smiled at him as she pulled her shirt over her head.

  ���Ouch Em, that���ouch love,��� Brody sat up and looked under the covers, ���She doesn���t want you big guy.���

  Emma laughed, ���Did you really just talk to your penis?���

  ���Ouch again Em, that makes it sound so small,��� Brody winced.

  ���Well it���s definitely not,��� she laughed.

  ���That���s alright love, we forgive you,��� Brody stood up and walked into the bathroom and brushed his teeth.

  Emma stood next to him and did the same. He looked at Emma in the mirror and cocked his head to the side and winked.

  ���Don���t,��� she giggled.

  He did it again, ���Brody, you don���t play fair,��� Emma turned around and she went to her knees.

  ���That will ensure I never do. Damn, Em,��� he moaned.

  * * *

  Emma and Caroline were baking with Maddox, Lexington, and London while Henry and Brody sat at the table drinking tea.

  ���All of this started with your father���s death, we agree on that right?��� Henry asked.

  ���I do agree, yes,��� Brody sat back.

  ���Then Elizabeth and the hell you lived, Brody ��� I have a feeling whoever took her, and whoever had Maddox, they are trying to keep something quiet,��� Henry looked at him. ���They���re trying to ensure you don���t find something out. We just have to tie it up and feed it to the idiot police.���

  Clive walked in the room, ���Brody the police are here, with a warrant.���

  ���What the hell do they want now?��� Brody stood up and walked to the foyer.

  ���Brody Hines, you are under arrest for money laundering and conspiracy to commit murder against your ex-wife������ Detective Banks began.

  ���I have no idea what this is about Banks, but this is BULLSHIT and you know it,��� Brody growled as Banks cuffed him, ���My kids are here you piece of������

  ���Dad?��� Maddox ran towards him and Banks stuck out his hand stopping him, ���Emma!���

  Emma came out of the kitchen, ���What is going on now?���

  ���Keep them safe Em, Banks so help me God if anything happens to them, I will fucking kill you with my bare hands,��� Brody yelled.

  ���Dad!!��� Maddox cried as they escorted Brody out the door.

  ���Clive ��� call Eli. Dad, where are the girls?��� Emma started walking towards the kitchen and grabbed Maddox���s hand, ���It���ll be fine Maddox.���
��

  ���Your mom has them upstairs, they saw nothing Princess. Maddox,��� Henry hugged him tightly, ���It���s going to be alright.���

  ���I need to go, Dad,��� Emma hugged him.

  ���Please wait until we find out what is going on, you are going to go sit in the waiting room and get no more answers than you will later, Emma,��� Henry pulled her into his arms.

  ���Clive you need to go then, please,��� Emma asked.

  ���Henry we went over the security system, do you feel comfortable with this?��� Clive asked.

  ���Yes, go take care of whatever it is that needs to be done for Brody,��� Henry waved him off.

  ���I���m going to the office,��� Henry kissed Emma and Maddox and walked away.

  ���I���m going to my room,��� Maddox started walking away

  ���Please don���t Maddox, talk to me it���ll be fine,��� Emma said as he continued to walk by, ���Maddox, please.���

  Emma sat on the floor in the living room and cried as she rocked back and forth.

  Henry heard her cry and ran from the office, ���Princess.���

  Emma let her father hold her, comforting her as he had when she was a child. She cried and couldn���t stop.

  ���We���ll all get through this,��� Henry whispered as he rocked her.

  ���I know Daddy it just, I need to breathe, just breathe. So do they ��� all of them; Brody, Maddox, London, and Lexington,��� Emma sat up and wiped her eyes.

  Henry consoled her for a long time. He wished she didn���t have to go through all of this. He had protected her for years and now everything he���d tried to shield her from was weighing on her shoulders and his heart.

  The phone rang, and Emma jumped and answered, ���Hello.���

  ���Em,��� Brody whispered.

  ���How bad is it, when can I see you?��� Emma cried.

  ���Please don���t cry love, Eli���s working on it. It looks really bad. London���s child is broke, and they think the fifty million dollars we���ve raised sits in some fucking account, Em. They think I took it. This news will more than likely break tomorrow, so get prepared.��� Brody let out a breath waited for her to respond.

  ���Emma are you there? Are you even fucking listening to me?��� Brody snapped.

  ���Of course, Brody, I���m just trying to process it all,��� Emma sat on the ground.

  ���While you do that, I also want to remind you that Rebecca with be there soon and I want to talk to her first thing in the morning and try to figure this all out alright Em?��� Brody said in a much calmer tone.

  ���When can I see you?��� Emma asked softly.

  ���Not soon enough,��� he whispered softly.

  ���Fine,��� she consented.

  ���No, Emma, in the morning. Get Rebecca settled, and the two of you come in the morning, alright love?��� Brody���s voice broke.

  ���Okay Brody please don���t, I need you to be strong,��� Emma began to cry.

  ���I need nothing but to know that you believe me, and love me Emma. Always and forever,��� Brody whispered.

  ���Of course, Brody,��� Emma cleared her throat, ���Why did you even say that?���

  ���When will enough be enough Em? When will you leave me like every������ Brody stopped.

  ���I���m here always, I love you,��� Emma tried to sound strong.

  ���That���s my Em. Chat tomorrow?��� Brody asked softly.

  ���Yes talk to you tomorrow,��� Emma hung up the phone

  ���Is he alright Emma?��� Henry asked.

  ���I don���t know how he could be, Dad. Rebecca Hines will be here soon, I���ll go get her room ready,��� Emma walked up the stairs.

  Maddox opened his door, ���You were crying.���

  ���I���m a bit overwhelmed,��� Emma smiled, ���But it���ll be alright Maddox.���

  ���And you believe that; truly believe everything will be fine?��� Maddox was angry.

  Emma looked at him, ���I���m sorry about all this Maddox. We don���t want this for any of you���but yes Maddox, I believe it���ll be alright, it has to be.���

  Maddox closed his eyes, ���Alright then.���

  Emma hugged him and walked down the hall. She was putting new sheets on the bed when Maddox walked in the room.

  ���Let me help you,��� he said sadly.

  ���You don���t have to, I can do it,��� Emma smiled.

  ���I want to,��� Maddox grabbed the others side of the sheet.

  * * *

  Maddox was sitting on the couch with London. She was showing him the books she had on her e- reader when Emma poked her head in the doorway, ���Your aunt is pulling in.���

  London clapped and smiled at Maddox, ���Come on!���

  Henry was carrying Rebecca���s bags in when they all walked in the foyer.

  ���God Emma, I���m so sorry. I���ll do whatever I can to help,��� Rebecca hugged her tightly.

  ���It���ll all work out, it has to,��� Emma whispered.

  ���Oh Miss London, look at you as beautiful as ever. I brought you this,��� Rebecca handed her a large stuffed bear with a shirt that said, ���I Love London.���

  ���Thank you so much,��� London hugged her.

  Maddox stood by the door looking down, ���And you must be Maddox?���

  ���Yes and you’re my aunt,��� Maddox looked up slowly and stared at her for a moment and quickly looked away, ���I���ll fetch Lexington.���

  ���Wait, I want just a minute with you,��� Rebecca walked up and hugged him tightly.

  Emma watched Maddox face tighten, and he didn���t breathe until she released him, ���You look just like your father Maddox. I brought you something as well; well part of something the rest of the gift must pass customs.���

  Rebecca handed him a set of keys, ���You���ll be sixteen soon correct?���

  ���Yes but I can’t accept������ Maddox started to hand her the keys back.

  ���You can and you will,��� Rebecca smiled, ���Now where���s Lexington?���

  * * *

  Maddox went to his room and grabbed his phone. Harper sent him a text.

  - At the cape, last week of freedom until we head back to school. I heard mention that your dad was in trouble again. I want you to know that I���m more than sure things will work out. I know how strong you are to have lived through what you have. I���m truly happy to be able to call you friend….Your friend forever, Harper

  Maddox re-read it several times and shoved his phone in his pocket, he knew that she wouldn���t feel the same when she knew, truly knew his heart. He was angry and full of rage, a rage that needed to be released very soon.

  * * *

  ���Dinner was incredible, wasn���t it Maddox?��� Rebecca asked.

  ���Yes Emma and my grandmother are wonderful cooks,��� Maddox wiped his mouth and stood, ���London shall we do the dishes?���

  ���I could help,��� Rebecca offered.

  ���No, we enjoy this, don���t we London?��� Maddox took London���s hand.

  ���We do now. I assume it���ll get old though. I miss Ann,��� London scowled.

  ���Ann was your housekeeper?��� Rebecca asked following them with a few dirty dishes.
/>
  ���Yes,��� London said softly.

  ���Well when Brody���s back on his feet, and things have finally quieted down I am sure you���ll have another. Life will be back to normal very soon London. As long as ������ Rebecca looked at Maddox, ���Well, when things are quieted down.���

  Maddox looked up at her expressionless.

  Emma walked in behind them with more dishes and smiled, ���It���ll be nice Maddox, you���ll see.���

  Maddox smiled softly at Emma as she dumped the silverware into the sink.

  Rebecca gasped, ���Oh look Emma, a knife. We wouldn���t want the kids to cut themselves would we?���

  ���No, of course not, sorry you two,��� Emma smiled, ���I seem to be off my game lately.���

  ���That���s understandable, but I promise I���ll help you all get through this. It���ll all go away, and we can all be happy again,��� Rebecca smiled at Maddox.

  Maddox helped Emma get the kids ready for bed, ���London���s sleeping with Caroline again?���

  ���She is,��� Emma smiled, ���I offered, but apparently Grandma reads stories better than I do.���

  ���And Lexington? Will she sleep with Henry again?��� Maddox asked softly.

  ���Yes and you can too,��� Emma smiled.

  ���Who will protect you?��� Maddox asked his face showing fear.

  ���Maddox ��� I���ll be fine, we���re safe. I���m not afraid in our home,��� Emma searched his face.

  ���I���ll sleep on the cot in your room,��� Maddox walked out of the room.

  Emma followed him, ���Maddox that���s extremely thoughtful of you but������

  ���No, I���m sleeping on the cot in your room,��� Maddox rolled the cot down the hall.

  Rebecca walked up the stairs, and Maddox stopped allowing her to pass.

  ���What���s this?��� Rebecca asked.

  ���Maddox���s moving a cot into my room,��� Emma smiled softly.
