  “I love your lips and kissing you. I need to call Megan about a case, I have to appear in court Tuesday. We will be back by then right?”

  “Call her, yes, we will. I’m going to get the girls, so they can eat. You know they love blueberry pancakes.

  “Okay, I’m going to call her and then meet you at the breakfast bar.”

  I walk up the stairs, and I know the girls are probably still asleep. They love to sleep in. They each have their own bed, but most of the time they sleep together. Before Lila’s accident they slept with us most nights. I open the door and I can see that they are awake.

  “Hey girls, are you ready for breakfast? Daddy made your favorite pancakes.” I say as help get them dressed.

  “Hmm, did you make the blue cakes?” Addie says as she runs and grabs her stuffed rabbit.

  “Yay, blue cakes. And apple juice.” Says Maddie as she places a hand on each hip.

  “Yes and apple juice. Come on, mommy is waiting for us.” I say as I pick both girls up and carry them down stairs. As I round the corner, I see Lila. She had made the girls plates, on their favorite princess plates. She also cut bananas and strawberries up and made a smiley face on the pancakes.

  “Hey, where’s my smiley face?” I laugh as I lean in and kiss her cheek.

  “Aww, does daddy want a smiley face? Girls, do you want to help daddy make his pancakes look like yours?” She asks as both girls jump up and down, screaming.

  “Me do, I want to put the face on the cakes mommy.” Addie says.

  “I too, let me do it too, Addie.” Says Maddie.

  “You both can.” I say as I grab the bowl of strawberries.

  I haven’t told Lila where we are going for our weekend. I packed our bags, the girls’ bags, and load the SUV. My mom lives about a half an hour away, we are dropping them off and I’m taking Lila to a little resort. I’ve heard nothing but good things about this place and know she will love it. I’ve already called and made arrangements for them to lay out rose pedals, chocolate covered strawberries, and sparkling grape juice.

  I’ve booked two nights but we may stay an extra night. Lila isn’t going back to work until Tuesday, and I work from home. I took over my father’s business, I run it with Ashton and uncle Gill. I rarely go into the office. Ellis Wine Venue is one of the largest wine companies in California. I’ve been thinking about doing private investigating, something I’ve wanted to do for a long time. My cousin, Kade, is thinking about moving here from Texas, and he is a great private investigator.

  “So you still aren’t telling me where we are going are you?” a curious Lila asks as we drop the girls off to my mother. My mom knows where we are going, but she promised she wouldn’t tell Lila anything and let it be a surprise.

  “Nope, you will see.” I say with a wink. She crosses her arms like a five year old and makes a pouty face, then sighs.

  “Fine, do you really want to know?” I ask as I place my hand on her leg.

  “YES!” she squeals and claps her hands. The twinkle in her eyes makes me smile. All I could do was laugh, and she looks at me and says, “Well, you going to tell me? Or laugh at me all day.”

  “You are so damn cute, you know that, right?”

  “Yeah, so I have been told.” She says with a wink she then leans over the console and starts rubbing my leg. Damn, she makes me so hard just by touching me.

  “Okay, Miss can’t let me surprise her. We are going to a small resort. I thought it would be a good getaway and we can talk. We haven’t really had much alone time since you have been home, I heard about this place, and thought it would be the perfect time and place to be alone with you.”

  “Sounds like you know exactly what I need, Liam. It’s been so crazy since I have been home, and with us having a new baby, I think we need this too. I miss our girls already though. They were so excited to see Nana, that’s all they kept talking about last night.”

  “I miss them, too. I had to promise them that we would take them to the bounce house when we come back. Ashton said he and AJ would join us there. Speaking of the devil, he’s texting me. I’ll call him when we get there, he and Christa are going at it again. We’re almost there. You hungry?”

  “Not for food.” Lila says as she licks her lips and winks at me. I love when her pregnancy hormones kick in. When she was pregnant with the twins we had sex everywhere. Hell, we even went to a steakhouse and made love in the women’s bathroom. All her idea of course. I’d never been so turned on as I was that night.

  “Trust me when we get there, I will be eating.” I laugh with a wink.

  “Oh.” She says then she bit her bottom lip. I love the way she bit down and sucks it between her teeth.

  As we pull into the parking lot at the resort, I could see her smile as she gazes out the window, taking in all the beauty of this amazing resort. Our room looks like something out of a magazine. It is a large suite with a small boardwalk to the ocean. The bed is a canopy with all white sheer material around it. There are rose pedals everywhere, including all around the hot tub. Lila just stands there taking everything in. I pick her up and carry her to the bed.

  “Liam, this is absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much, babe. We’re going to have a great weekend.” She giggles.

  “Oh, are we now? I know I am. The things I plan on doing to you this weekend, will have you screaming my name. Glad we are the only ones around.” I laugh as I kiss her, her kisses are so sweet. Every time we kiss it was like the first kiss. I will never forget our first kiss, I had wanted to kiss her for years.

  “Oh,” she says as she twirls a strain of hair between her fingers.

  “Liam, have I told you how much I love you? And how lucky I am to be you’re wife?” she says as she places her head in the crook of my neck.

  “Love, I’m the lucky one. I always knew I would marry you and we would make beautiful little Liam and Lila’s.” I say as I kiss her forehead. I notice she was crying and it wasn’t a few tears, it was like someone turned on a sprinkler. I lift her chin and look into her ocean blue eyes, “Baby, what’s wrong? Why are you crying?”

  “I’m sorry, I was just thinking about some things. I am so glad we’re here. I feel kind of hungry now, can we call room service?” she says as she sits up and wipes her tears. I knew that moment what she is thinking about and who. I kiss her and got the room service menu. I try to hide my pain and not let her see that it is killing me.

  Once our food arrives, we sit and eat and talk about the weather. I have my beautiful woman all alone in a secluded resort, and we are talking about the goddamn weather. We finish eating, and I could see that she was still thinking about her previous thoughts.

  I want to take away all of her pain, and tell her that I know she slept with Evan. I didn’t have proof, I just know my wife. She slept with him the day she ended things with him in New York, then when he came to California, and three months ago I believe. I want to hate him, I can’t, though.

  He’s a nice guy. I know that he’s moved on. He just needs to stays away from my family.

  “Lila, you know you can tell me whatever you want. Whatever is bothering you, let me in. Let me know what you’re feeling.” I say as I rub my hand up and down her back. Letting her know that I’m here and not going anywhere.

  “Thanks, I know you are. I do need to talk to you about some things, I’m just not ready yet. Can you give me time? I need to process everything I am going to tell you. It may change our lives, Liam. I don’t want to lose our family because of my mistakes.” She says before the sobs escapes her and she falls into my arms. I hate seeing her like this, it isn’t good for the baby either.

  “Whenever you’re ready, and Lila nothing will change. We will be a family for the rest of our lives. Anything you have to tell me can wait until you’re ready. It isn’t going to change the way I love you or our kids, including the one in your belly.” I say as I kiss her she lets out a small gasp. Then takes my hands in hers and say, “How can you love me after everyth
ing I have done?”

  I didn’t say anything, I just held her as she cries in my arms. When she is ready, she will tell me everything, and until then I won’t pressure her into telling me. We are here to have a good time and that’s what we are going to do. I took Lila’s hand in mine as we walk outside, I grab a blanket with the other hand.

  I lay the blanket down and pull her into a deep hug and start kissing her, I lay her down on the blanket. I kiss her so hard, her breathing is rapid. I look down into her eyes, she raises up, and I pull her shirt off then she takes mine off. I cup her breasts in each hand, I kiss her neck then I lift her up to un-hook her bra. I slide her yoga pants down and notice that her baby bump is showing a little. She is fucking beautiful.

  As I lean down, to take her panties off, I kiss her stomach, big tears formed in her eyes. “I love you baby bean, and no matter what happens, I will always be your daddy.” I whisper. I hear Lila gasp and let out a small sob. I kiss her stomach again and work my way further down, I could feel the heat from her opening. I know she wants me to taste her as bad as I want to. I take my pants off, then slide my boxers down, I’m fully erect and ready to take her, but I want to give her what she needs first, I love pleasing her.

  Spreading her legs open further, I kneel in between them and start kissing her lower lips, I love that fact that she was always shaved. As I suck on each one, I hear her moan. “You’re so wet already, and tasting so sweet.” I say and I take my tongue and lick her inside and out. I slid a finger inside as I wrap my tongue around her clit. She has both her hands in my hair, pulling hard as she rocks back and forth on my face. She arches her back and throws her head back screaming my name over and over as she pushes my head into her as far as she can. I’m so fucking hard, I don’t know if I could go another second not being inside her. I kneel between her legs and position myself.

  I slide inside of her, and she comes instantly. “Oh God, Liam, you feel so good, baby.” She says as she kisses my neck. I didn’t try kissing her, since she doesn’t like to after I had went down on her, but she grabs my head with both hands and pulls me into a deep kiss. She kisses me so hard. I know she can taste the saltiness and sweetness of herself.

  We hold each other tight as we make love, with every thrust in and out of her, I feel my release building up. “Liam, come in me, baby.” She says as she rocks back and forth on my dick.

  “You ready beautiful, you want it now?” I say as I felt my swollen dick getting ready to explode inside her.

  “Now, please! Liam, now, please.” She screams. I grab her hips and lift her up, she gets on her hands and knees as she pushes her ass into me. “Please, I need you in me now, I can’t wait any longer,” she begs.

  I grab her hips and start thrusting in and out as hard as I could, “Baby, you ready? You want all of it?” I groan.

  “God, yes, Liam. Harder, harder,” she moans. I start thrusting in and out so hard, with every thrust I can feel her getting tighter around me as she comes.

  “God, baby, you ready?” I says as she screamed my name. “I. Fucking. Love. You. Lila. Ellis.” I say as I come in her beautiful pussy.

  I pull Lila into my arms and hold her as we sit there staring into the water. I know I should be hurt and mad at her, but I can’t be. I love her too much to treat her any differently. “How about we go for a quick swim, then head back in to watch a movie and eat popcorn?” I ask as I stand up.

  “Sounds good to me. I love you, too, Liam Ellis! Always have and always will.” She says as she kisses my chest.

  Some people will never change; you try to give them every goddamn thing they want, and they make it worse. I married my wife five years ago, only because she was pregnant with my son AJ. I met Christabella at a strip club. You ever hear the saying, “You can’t turn a hoe into a house wife?” It’s so fucking true! I’ve tried, believe me I’ve tried. She was wonderful at first, hell, I even started loving her. But then things started to change, and all that good shit flew out the window.

  I wake up this morning, I notice she isn’t anywhere around, we don’t even sleep in the same room anymore. I sleep on the couch or with AJ, he’s been having awful nightmares, and I’m pretty sure it has a lot to do with his mother. I try not to fight and argue with her in front of him, but the way she acts makes it so goddamn hard.

  Looking outside, I notice her car was in the driveway. I go to the garage and my new Harley wasn’t in there. I’m ready to choke her, no one messes with my cars or bikes other than my son, and they are my life. I have no fucking clue where she was and what she could have done with it. I try calling her and it goes straight to voice mail. Of course she wouldn’t have her phone on, she is probably too damn high to even know where the hell she even is. I need to contact Liam is see if they can keep AJ.

  “Liam, dude, the bitch has gone crazy, and took my bike. I need you to watch AJ for me.”

  “Seriously, you need to just get rid of her ass, you and AJ would be better off. Call my mom, we are out of town. But you know she will watch him. Be careful man, and I’ll call you soon.”

  “Thanks brother, I owe you one. Tell Li, I say hey.”

  “Will do, talk with ya later.”

  I wake my boy up, and get him ready to take to Miss Sofia’s he loves hanging out with her, she spoils all the kids. I tell him we will stop and have breakfast; sausage biscuits, breakfast of champions, well that’s what AJ thinks.

  “Daddy, where is your new bike?” he asks as we enter the garage.

  “It, needed some work so it’s in the shop. We will take Old Blue today, is that okay?” I can’t tell him the truth, he was already afraid of his mother and it breaks my fucking heart. What kid is afraid of their own mother?

  “Oh, well can we take Big Red instead?” he asks referring to my Chevy Silverado.

  “Anything you want buddy. Now you may be at Miss Sofia’s for a while, so I packed you extra toys and snacks in your bag. Also a few of your movies you like to watch. Are you okay with staying there?” I ask knowing he would say yes.

  “Yeah, daddy, I like her. How come she isn’t my nana like she is Addie and Maddie’s? I call her Miss Sofia and they don’t.”

  “That’s because she is their grandmother. She isn’t yours, gram is your grandmother.”

  “Well, they have two. Why do I only have one?” He hasn’t asked about this before, his mother should be the one to explain, but of course she probably wouldn’t make any sense to him.

  “Do you remember, when I told you about your Aunt Addison, and how she lives in heaven with Jesus? Well that’s where your other grandma is. She went to heaven when your mommy was really little, so that’s why she never talks about her.”

  “Oh, maybe she and Aunt Addison are watching TV together in heaven. I wish I could’ve met Aunt Addison. Aunt Lila really misses her, she showed us a picture of all of you guys in school.”

  “Yeah, buddy. She would have loved to have meet you. Her and your Aunt Lila were best friends. You know how your friend Mack is your best friend?” I say as I choke back tears, talking about my sister always chokes me up. She sure was one of a kind, and she hated Christa and I know she would have already killed her.

  “I wish we could visit them. I think Aunt Addie would like me. Can we go back to her park, you member we went there before. We put flowers there.”

  “Yeah, buddy, she would like you. You know she will always watch over you. Of course we can, not today, but I will take you soon okay.”

  “Thank you, daddy. I’m glad that you are my daddy. You are the best dad ever.”

  “I’m glad that you are my son. I will always be here for you buddy. Anything you need, all you do is ask. Okay?”

  “Okay, I will. I’m hungry.”

  “We are almost there, and we will get breakfast.” I say as I feel my unshed tears ready to spill down my damn face. That kid is surely one of a kind. I am one lucky man. His mother doesn’t know what she is missing. I can’t believe this shit she is pulling. It makes so
sick thinking about how much she has changed. AJ used to adore her, he rarely asks about her anymore. Hell, he would rather it just be the two of us.

  I go through the drive-thru, grab our breakfast, and head to Sofia’s. I try calling Christa several more times and still can’t get through to her. I call a buddy of mine that works undercover, to see if he has seen my bike or my wife. He says no but he would keep an eye out for them.

  “Now you be good for Miss Sofia, and if you need anything you call me. You remember where the number is?”

  “Okay, yes and Miss Sofia has it hanging on the refrigerator too.”

  “Okay, give me one of those big hugs.” I say as I kneel down to him. He wraps his little arms around my neck.

  “Love you this big, daddy.”

  “I love you more, little dude.” I say as I kiss his forehead.

  I decide I would go to the neighborhood, where I figured she would be, sure enough I saw my bike sitting at some ran down crack house. I hate carrying a gun, but with a wife like mine I had to. I grab my piece and hide it under my waistband. I walk up and knock on the door.

  A very young man answers the door, looking like he had been beaten brutally. He didn’t have a shirt on, and had a cigarette hanging out of his mouth.

  “I’m looking for Christa, have you saw her?” I ask. He stands in the door staring at me, like I was the crazy one.

  “Maybe, depends on who you are and what you want, brah.”

  “Well, first off, I’m not your brah. Secondly, I want my fucking bike that’s sitting over there.” I say pointing to my bike that is in his yard.

  “Oh, you’re her rich husband? Yeah she owed me some money, so she brought me the bike for collateral. Now if you have the money she owes me then I can give you that bike back.”

  “How much?” I ask knowing it would be more than I had on me.

  “Give me a hundred bucks and it’s yours.” He says lighting another cigarette.
