Donovan (Book 3) TWENTY ONE
Don slams me against the wall but not too hard as his lips to mine. Every kiss has a raw intensity - breathing fast, heart rates faster. After Leo's party, we cleaned up the ballroom. Don and I kept a distance but never looked away for five seconds. He's hungry for me, and I can fall into a trance from his seductive blue eyes. Once the job was done, Don secretly took my hand, dragging me away from everyone as we entered the elevator. He pressed the number ten, a lower floor than where our suite is. He and I were impatient to reach the bottom. Our mouths stuck like glue, our tongues entwined, and my leg wrapped around his waist as he held my ass. We reached the tenth floor; he pulled me as we quickly paced toward his reserved room. He slid the card, and when the little light turned green, I quickly opened the door, pushed him inside, and locked the door with the sign that said Do Not Disturb. We were rash but wanted our bodies to touch, wanting to feel each other skin. We struggle to

"Oh my god! I thought I had it worst."Looking over my shoulder, Thea stands behind me, picking up a glazed doughnut, bites off the plate, and takes it in her mouth in one bite."Oh my god!" She moans, licking her fingers. "These are amazing. You got to teach me the recipe. CJ, what's wrong?"I sigh."Nothing," I shake my head as I stir a batter bowl. Hard and rough, like the ingredients aren't mixing."Um...you're going to break your arm if you keep doing that."I ignore her and stir and stir until the bowl and cooking spoon slip out of my hands, spilling the batter all over the floor."CJ," Thea rush to my side, bringing a towel with her to help me clean, then wailed at me. "What's the matter with you? You've been spacing out and cooking like a madman these two weeks. We have to restock every day so that we won't go hungry. Don is worried about you. You won't look at and ignore him whenever you are alone. I have to apologize to him for you. Are you on your period? If you are, please
Donovan (Book 3) TWENTY THREE
From the first time I met Eddie, I told Thea how I fell in love with a kind gentleman. My first kiss with him after my other ex-boyfriend, Jessi Fleck, drops the bomb on me in high school. My parents approved, and he proposed to me at the Eiffel Tower. Gave my virginity to him. I even told her how he made me quick my job and live with him when I was pregnant with Leo. But I explained with sadness and pain after Leo was born, Eddie changed.He was no longer the man I loved on the first day he hit me because I left the apartment without my phone. I was out with a couple of my friends and forgot my phone. He was so mad; he slapped me hard that my jaw almost broke for not answering his calls.He was furious especially calling me an irresponsible mother for leaving his son unattended. But we have a nanny to take care of Leo. I couldn't go out for just a day of relaxation. Eddie doesn't understand the hardship a mother can do after her baby is born, and he assumes I'm doing an excellent job

It's been added another two days. Don and I haven't talked, and I hope to speak to him privately after dinner tonight.With a spoon in my mouth, I glance at each person at the dinner table.Effie and Logan take turns feeding Zara and making airplane noises; Thea is breastfeeding Jacob, and Lily and Liam come over for dinner with us and do the same with Ramsey.Seth, Ares, and Leo are having an eating contest to see who can fit their cheeks with food and not make each other laugh. But suddenly, Rex created a face and noodles dripping from Seth's nose, making my son and Ares laugh.Then my eyes land on Don, who sits quietly and eats his dinner. My heart is racing with anxiety, wanting him to glance his eyes at me. But when he didn't, he pushed himself, grabbed the empty plate, and put it in the sink before leaving.I whimper as if imaginary dog ears have flattened from disappointment.I bite my spoon and frown."Don't worry," she whispers, "The girls and I will clean up here. Go."I inh

"Yay! The beach!" Leo fills the summer air with laughter. He starts running towards the water and removes his shirt to the ground dipping himself, splashing, and swimming.It will be two weeks before Effie, and the boys are attending college soon. I'm glad Effie enrolled in college since I heard she wasn't planning to. She, Logan, and Liam entered a university instead of a community college. Effie changed her mind.Effie is majoring in performing arts so that she would have classes in dance and music and, of course, theater, although she has already started her career as a singer.But some of her classes must be online since she is pregnant and has a daughter who will be one soon next month. A September baby likes her mama.Logan has been taking up athletic training since he fought as a kid, and he's training to be an MMA fighter like his idol, Ares. As for Liam, and computers, he's very good at hacking and anything involved with a keyboard. Also, Lily is attending the same college an

I am nibbling on my thumbnail as I scroll the screen of Leo's iPad he got for his birthday from his Uncle Ares as I look for any news from London about a bachelor whose bride ran away from their wedding. But so far, nothing. It's been more than two months since I left London. I'm surprised there isn't any news about it.It seems Eddie wants his humiliation in secret.It's nighttime, and everybody in the house is busy. Thea and Effie are making dinner, and Rex, Seth, and Logan are out getting a beer. Liam and Lily are having dinner at her parents' house. Don is in the garage working on a car he bought at the junkyard last week. He's hoping to turn it into his dream car like the one Van Diesel has in Fast and Furious. I'm here watching the little munchkins play in their playpen.I flick my finger as I search enough to make me anxious as I hear the doorbell ring. "I'll get it."Jumping out of the couch, I head for the door and open it to have my eyes wide. "Chris? What are you doing here

"You know, C.J.," Jordan begins to prompt as the girls, and I are out in the back while the kids are swimming at the pool and the men are out.Logan has been training this week for a big amateur fight next weekend, so Don and Rex are with him. Seth is out with Terry as he sets up a double date, and the look on her face tells me she is itching to tell Seth she's not interested. But you know Seth, he can be very persistent regarding women. The only remaining Wolfe brother, Liam, is here with Ramsey and the kids in the pool. Jordan continues her conversation and says, "Since you love to cook and stuff, why not work at my family's restaurant? I know working at the B&M gives huge tips, but as someone with your skills in cooking, I'm sure the restaurant will be busy with people."Next week Effie and the others will be starting their first day of college, and spending time with family and friends is a great way to relax before the stress comes. Clark and Sam are here as well, playing with t

"A baby?" Dad is the first to speak, breaking the silence. "The other reason you're not coming home is the child you're carrying right now. Don't tell me it's-" "What? No!" I knew before he could finish his sentence. "I'm only more than a week." How can he assume it's Eddie's? I would never have another child with that psycho. I hear them both sigh in relief, assuming they are glad it's not Eddie's. "I love Leo, my dear, but if you have another baby with Eddie. Do not hesitate and abort it." "Helen!" "What?" "Mum, don't worry, it's not Eddie's," I assure her. "Okay, well, then, who's the man?" She prompts the question. Her curiosity kicks in. "Of course, an alien didn't abduct you and impregnate you to have a baby." "Helen," Dad says in a warning tone of not being sarcastic. "Why are you like that? She got pregnant before marriage, and she's not married yet." "It's our daughter's choice; you can't always tell her what to do?" Mom huff. "She's supposed to be your little gi
