“Mase, it’s cool.” Max laughs and greets my dad.
“So what do you think of the place? Maisy’s done well, hasn’t she?”
“As always, Mr. Ashford. I love it.”
“Oh don’t Mr. Ashford me, Max. It’s Richard to you. Maybe Dad one day?”
I see Max’s eyes widen. “Dad!”
“Has Maisy shown you the den at the bottom of the garden?” my dad asks him.
“Den?” Max asks, looking over to me.
I look straight at my dad, tilting my head to the side and glaring. “No dad, I haven’t.” My dad grimaces. “Its fine, dad, I was just about to tell him.”
I take Max’s hand and lead him outside and down the rubble path. At the end, it leads you to a raised decking area that looks like the perfect spot to make into a sitting area, and right next to that is a small building. Max looks through the small windows.
“As soon as I saw it, I thought we could give it a makeover. Make it into a studio? The guys all have one, so I thought you would, too. It doesn’t have to be a recording studio, or it could, it’s up to you. Or if you don’t like the music idea, it could be something else entirely or knocked down, or-“
Max’s lips land on mine, putting an end to my rambling. “Maisy, this house is perfect.”
“Really?” I ask again.
“Really.” Max smiles.
***
I am so thrilled that Max loves his new house as much as I do! Plus, I couldn’t be happier that Max is leaving his bachelor pad! I still hate that place!
Moving day is here and I’m up bright and early to help Max move into the beautiful house I found for him. I am so proud I found him this house! I think I may be a bit jealous that Max gets it, and I don’t. As I’m putting my hair into a rough pony tail, I hear a loud car horn outside. I look out the window and see a large moving van. Is that Max? If it is, I’m confused. He told me to meet him at his place in an hour.
I run down the stairs, and when I open my front door, it is in fact Max. He gets out of the van with a huge smile.
“Max, what are you doing here? I thought we were meeting at your old place?”
“No need.” He wraps his arms around me. “I’ve already finished.”
“What? But you haven’t got the keys yet. They’re in my office.”
“Not anymore.” Tilly jumps out of the van and gives me a cheeky look. She must have given Max the new house keys.
“Now we’re here to help you,” Max announces.
“What?” I look from Max and my cousin. “You’re confusing me.”
“If I’m moving, then so are you.” Max’s hands move from my shoulders and to my face. “Maisy, I’ve spent nearly every day and night with you for the past few months, and I don’t want to be away from you. I’m not moving in alone.”
I can’t believe it. “Are you saying what I think you’re saying?”
“Oh for goodness sake!” Tilly shouts. “You two are not great with words.”
Max laughs. “Pack up, baby, because you’re moving in with me.”
His statement causes a lot of squealing, and then a lot of kissing, so Tilly runs back into the van. I’m so happy that I lead Max into my house, and Max being the passion-loving man he is slams the door behind us and pushes me up against it. I hope Tilly shut the van door behind her, because there is a lot of banging on my front door after that.
By the end of the week, Max has handed his keys over to the realtor agent he rented the bachelor pad from, and my house has been put up for rent. I couldn’t sell my house. The thought made me sick because I love that place. So, instead, I thought renting it out was the next best thing.
Apart from my very worrying phone call from Lauren, I haven’t heard anything else from her, and I’m getting a little scared. Max told me everything about that day, and it just doesn’t make sense. If she was that desperate to talk to me, why can’t I get an answer from her? Something just feels off, and I’m not the only one who feels this way. My father is getting worried about her, too, after he got a phone call from Lauren’s office yesterday. Apparently, she hasn’t turned up for work since she returned to America! She hasn’t even cleared her desk! Her boss told my dad that she has a laptop, tablet and important work dates in her office that she hasn’t collected. Lauren may be a bitch, but she loves her job. Even when she tried to ruin Max and me, she still kept up with her work.
Whatever is happening, I hope Lauren is safe, and that she’s just dealing with her problems right now. If we don’t hear from her soon, I think my dad will take matters into his own hands.
Putting my worries behind me, I decide to enjoy this moment. Moving in with Max into this gorgeous house is a huge point in our lives. The first night sleeping together in our new bedroom is the first of many, and I cannot wait for more! The future is exciting. I wonder what it will bring.
Epilogue
Five Years Later……..
Maisy
Today has been a really hard day at work. Since marrying Max and my new fame caused by my connection to the band, business has spiralled into heights I didn’t think were possible! Thank god we have such good staff, because I don’t know what we would have done without them. Our other saving grace was Sophie joining the team. She has been such a huge help to us with her amazing organizing skills. I don’t know why we didn’t hire her before.
I step through the door of my beloved home. I can’t wait to have a cuddle with my boys! I just hope Max was able to keep Caleb awake today. Caleb is reaching his third birthday and is dropping out of his afternoon nap. However, when it reaches the 4:00pm mark, he’s so tired, yet he can’t go to sleep. Otherwise, we’ll be awake until after midnight with a a toddler who just won’t settle down.
I look around the house, but I can’t hear the usual noise that greets me after work. “Max?”
“Kitchen!” he shouts.
I slowly walk towards the kitchen, looking for Caleb as I do. Where is my little guy? I want my snuggles.
Max is standing with his back to me, but I can see he has a huge basket on the floor beside him.
“What’s that?” I ask suspiciously.
He turns to face me. God, my man is so handsome! “My treat for you, baby.”
“Where’s Caleb?”
“Your parents have him for tonight, so I can have a special night with my beautiful and sexy wife.” He grabs me around the waist and pulls me up close against him.
“I can’t wait.” I bit down on my lip. “But I was looking forward to some cuddles from my baby boy.”
Max gives me a soft peck on the nose. “You’re an amazing mother, baby, but tonight you’re my wife. Tomorrow, you can have all the cuddles you want. Deal?”
“Deal.” I kiss him back.
“Besides, we can always make another baby tonight.”
I smack his arm playfully, but the idea of me carrying another one of Max’s babies fills me with excitement. I’ve been so eager to have another baby, but I was scared Max wouldn’t want another child just yet. Obviously, I was wrong.
Locking up the house, Max takes my hand and picks up the huge basket leading me outside. We walk down the garden, the pool glistening from the spotlights around it. We had to have it fenced off when Caleb started to walk and play outside. Better to be safe than sorry, especially when it’s because of our son. We follow the original pebbled path all the way down to the bottom, and we come to the best feature of the garden. Max steps on the deck, which he decided to extend quite a lot, actually. He also had an extendable roof fixed that appears from the roof of the outbuilding with the touch of a button, just in case it rains. Which is a big possibility in England.
Max lays down a large, thick blanket, and holds out his hand. “For you, my lady.”
I giggle as I sit down and watch as he opens the basket, revealing a huge feast. “Oh my god, Max!”
We manage to eat a fair bit of the food, and he even feeds me melted chocolate from his fingers. It soon becomes a li
ttle more intimate when Max lays me down and lifts my top. He spreads a line of chocolate down my stomach and licks it away. I moan from the heat of his tongue.
“Take off your skirt,” Max demands, so I lift my arse and shimmy my pencil skirt down. “And the underwear.”
I gasp. “We’re outside.”
“And alone.” He bends down and kisses me deeply.
Fuck the underwear! I can’t seem to get them off quickly enough!
Max drives me wild with his tongue and his chocolate sauce. I don’t care how sticky I will be, I just need his tongue on me. He moves further down, teasing my clit so much that I scold him. “Max, stop teasing.”
He laughs before thrusting his tongue inside me. It’s just what I need, but soon enough I need more. I want the deeper feeling, I need to be filled. “Max,” I moan.
He understands me completely. His arms scoop under me, lifting me against him and up. We look into each other’s eyes as he walks towards the outbuilding. A large number of Max’s guitars hang on the wall, and Caleb’s mini ones are there, too. But we don’t stop, and Max walks us towards the back where the stairs are and carries me to the small room up there. I used to listen to Max play all day and sometimes ended up falling asleep in the chair watching him. So he made a room for an area big enough for a double bed, and it overlooks the music area.
Max lays me down and kisses me sweetly, a little different from outside. He then stands, slowly stripping for me. I eagerly watch and when his cock pops out of his jeans, I moan. I crave him inside me so much!
Max crawls over me, looking deeply into my eyes. “I love you.”
Then he thrusts his hard cock inside of me so deep, but it’s so fucking amazing!
He thrusts as he holds my legs up high, making me scream his name as I come around his cock.
***
I hear soft music, and as I slowly open my eyes, I see the sun shining through the small window and light up Max while he’s sitting on his stool. He has his book open to write down the music, but his eyes are fixed on me as I look down at him from the bed.
He smiles at me, and my heart flutters. I can’t believe how long it took us to be together, but I wouldn’t change a thing because that time made us best friends which gave us our solid ground. Now, not only is Max my best friend, but the man I love, forever and always.
Decoy Bonus Chapter
The Parker Triplets 10th Birthday
Jax
Ten!
My triplets are fucking ten years old today! Where has the time gone?
I watch my beautiful wife as she plays the perfect little hostess, looking sexy, I might add.
“Daddy!” I hear a little girl, and I know that it’s Gracie. However, because the rest of us are fathers to girls, we all turn our heads. It is in fact Gracie as I clock her running towards me. “Noah keeps taking April away from me!”
Oh dear, the little love birds. Noah and April have been close since birth, but April is Gracie’s best friend, and she gets jealous when Noah and April run away together.
“Princess, April does what she wants to.” I plant a kiss on her forehead. “Besides, no woman can deny the charm of a Parker. She’s under the spell.”
Gracie’s face scrunches up. She looks so like her mother it both fills me with love and fear. Love because she’s my little princess, a warning to any man to come near her! Fear because she’s so gorgeous that she will have fuckers chasing after her. Thanks to her uncles, brothers and now Max’s, Leo’s and Rhys’ boys surrounding her, she will always have protection. They have their work cut out, though, seeing as there’re a few girls between us now.
After having the triplets, Kendal was adamant she wasn’t having anymore, because they were such hard work, but when the triplets reached seven years old, she cracked. So not only do I have Finley, Noah, Rory and Gracie, but now we have our youngest and last child as well. A gorgeous daughter by the name of Haiden. She’s the double of Gracie, a little miniature version, however, unlike Gracie, who has her mother’s dark chocolate-coloured eyes, she has my grey ones.
Rhys and Sophie went on to have another girl, Lily, and a boy, Dexter, after having April. Leo and Tanya have two boys, Taylor and Trevor, and then their baby girl, Tegan. Can you tell Tanya wanted them all to have names beginning with T? And after having little Caleb, Max and Maisy went on to have a little girl called Demi.
So, as you can see, we’ve all been a little busy, and that’s not even mentioning the children that the rest of our friends had. There’re too many fucking kids between us all that family-get-togethers are a lot more complicated than they were ten years ago!
“You better make sure that son of yours watches himself, Jax,” Rhys warns,
I laugh. “Relax, he’s only ten.”
Rhys frowns. “I don’t care what age he is, April’s still my daughter.”
Max laughs. “Looks like Caleb and Haiden are getting along nicely, too.”
I search for my youngest daughter, and when I do, I quickly stand.
“They’re only playing!” Max shouts behind me.
I don’t fucking care how young they are, no boy is kissing my baby girl.
Leo
I laugh as I watch Jax march over to Haiden and pulls Caleb away from her. Jax points towards our direction, and poor little Caleb move towards us, sulking.
“What’s the matter, buddy?” Max asks his son.
“Uncle Jax said I have to come over to you, because I’m not allowed to kiss Haiden.” He mumbles.
Typical Jax: his boys are allowed to have the Parker Charm, but when it comes to his girls, nobody is allowed near them. Mind you, I think I would be the same if it was Tegan. Along with her mother, those girls are my world. I will do everything in my power to make sure nobody puts her through what I put her mother through. Tegan deserves the best, and even that won’t be enough.
“He’s just being grumpy. Don’t worry, Caleb,” Max reassures him.
Caleb’s face turns from a look of sadness to confusion. “Daddy?”
“Yeah?” Max answers.
“Why aren’t I allowed to kiss Haiden? She’s pretty, and you said, if I see a pretty girl I have to be nice, and then I can kiss them.” He raises his arms in the air. “I’ve been nice to her all day!”
At this, we all laugh. That shit is funny.
Kendal
“Jax, what the hell are you doing?” I whisper-shout so nobody else can hear me.
“What?” He shrugs, trying to act all innocent. He doesn’t fool me.
“Why did you send Caleb away? Poor kid looks heartbroken.”
Jax sets Haiden down on the floor. “Go play, baby girl, but no kissing.”
With a kiss on the head, she goes running over to her brother, Rory, on the slide.
Jax turns back to me. “That boy was kissing her.”
I almost laugh. “Baby, they’re kids.”
Jax frowns. “I don’t care if they’re seven or twenty-seven: no boys are kissing my girls.”
“Seriously? Twenty-seven, Jax? Do you not want them to fall in love and give us grandchildren?”
At this, Jax pales, and now I do laugh. He pulls me towards him and speaks quietly, “I’m scared.”
“Jax, chill out and enjoy the party.”
“Give me a kiss first.”
Now, this I do agree with. I lean into him, forgetting about everyone else around us and bring my lips to his. This man honestly makes me fall more in love with him each day.
“Break it up!” I hear Tanya shout from the other side of the garden. “There’re children present!”
Max
Kendal sticks her tongue out at Tanya, and they both giggle like school girls.
Jax returns with a fat grin on his face. “Your woman sure has a mouth on her.”
“I know, she’s perfect, isn’t she?” Leo grins back.
I watch as Maisy climbs onto the bouncy castle with Demi and Tanya’s daughter, Tegan. A huge smile is on her face as the gir
ls laugh by her side. We need to have another child. Maisy doesn’t know it yet, but by the end of the year, she will be pregnant again. After our last tour, just after she had Caleb, we decided, as a band, we’re not going to tour again. We’ve all got young families and we don’t want that strain on them. Sure, we still record and release songs. We’ve even started thinking about having our own record label, but it’s just an idea right now.
Maisy falls down, and I admit, for about two seconds, I panic about her legs but she’s fine. The kids laugh at her and all fall down with her. She’s done amazingly, and I can’t believe what she came through during those early years. But she did it, and I’m so proud to call her my woman.
Maisy looks up then and locks eyes with me. She smiles and bites down on that bottom lip of hers. Dammit!
Tanya
“Look at those two eye-fucking each other,” I snicker.
Tilly and Jessica laugh as we watch Maisy and Max stare at one another. Like we don’t know what’s going on between them right now.
“Shit,” Jessica’s eyes widen. “You shouldn’t make me laugh.”
“Why?” Tilly is still giggling.
Jessica holds onto her swollen stomach. “Because it makes me pee.”
“I had that same problem,” I grimace.
Poor Jessica. She’s heavily pregnant and obviously having bladder problems. Next thing, Finley walks by on his mobile phone and stops just a few steps away from us. I shush the girls, because I want to listen in on him.
“Babe, you can come over and use my swimming pool. There’ no need to go over to Justin’s. Besides, our pool is much bigger.”
I have to hold in my laughter, but we all listen some more.
“I know Justin is your boyfriend, but you know what I think?” He pauses, obviously waiting for the girl on the other end to ask. “I think I should be your boyfriend. You’re too pretty for Justin.”
Oh my god, I can’t take no more! The boy is nearly fifteen years old and living up to his father’s reputation! Tilly and I start laughing which gets Finleys attention.
