Matthew was beaming, proud of being a big boy now.
“I’m not hungry,” said Kayla.
She didn’t need to ask. They promised her they wouldn’t spoil the kids. And most of the time, they kept their word.
Not today, though.
“We didn’t think dinner would be ready until later,” Lucian said, “they might have had a chocolate or two.”
She shook her head. This was exactly what she never knew she wanted.
And every night, when the kids were sound asleep, her two men brought her to heaven. Never too tired, always wanting more and more.
“I brought something you might like,” she said.
Their eyes shot at her.
“I can’t wait to see what you brought,” said Crow.
“Someone will have to pay for this,” Lucian followed, “it’s four days we haven’t seen you dear, you’re teasing us badly.”
She grinned.
“We’ll see about that.”
That should be enough to make them go crazy, she thought, biting her lip.
“Are you talking about sex?” Aiden asked, clever, as usual.
“What?” They all yelled in unison.
“Where did you learn that?”
“My friend Billy, says parents have sex and do things naked, and—”
“That’s enough,” Crow said, “we’re gonna have to talk to Billy’s parents tomorrow.”
“Tomorrow is Saturday!” Aiden replied, ever the smarty pants.
“Monday, then!”
“Just go easy on them,” Lucian said.
“Sure, I’ll go easy.”
Then he added.
“I’ll try to.”
“I’m the one who’s going to talk to them, all right?” Lexie quipped.
The guys were too blunt at times, besides, these were just kids, “now, let’s eat, before it gets cold.”
Things had changed so much since she met them, everything for the better.
The golden horizon shone brightly at her. She was grateful for all she’d been through, good and bad. Knowing that in the end, it was all worth it.
Tonight, they needed to compensate for all those days she was out of town. She might have brought an incredibly sexy baby doll, red and black, that would drive them crazy. She wanted them badly… so badly she might even have to be tied up to the bed.
She blushed just thinking about it.
Good thing our walls are soundproof.
She giggled, passing a serving of lasagna to Crow, who began eating like a starved barbarian.
“Dad! Wait for us!” Kayla said. She was the one who cared about manners.
Crow stopped.
“Sorry, honey,” he said, “you’re right.”
Lexie gave a big sigh, her chest almost bursting out with love, as she saw her family smile and laugh and share food on her back garden.
She had found her place in the world.
