Spoiling His Fun

last update Last Updated: 2025-03-20 20:06:41

Kade POV

Rook chokes on his coffee, sputtering as he slams the mug down on the counter. “Nope. Absolutely fucking not."

I smirk, rocking Harlow slightly. “What? You jealous?”

His eyes narrow, his grip tightening around the counter. “First of all, never say that again. Second—” He glares harder, pointing at me. “You just ruined it.”

Tilting my head I look at him. “Ruined what?”

He gestures wildly, like it’s obvious. “That was my thing. I called you Daddy Mercer to piss you off. It was my joke."

I raise an eyebrow, barely holding back my grin. “Yeah? Well, now it’s Harlow’s thing. And mine."

He groans loudly, dragging a hand down his face. “You’ve taken all the fun out of it. It’s not funny anymore if you just accept it.”

Chuckling, I bounce Harlow a little. “Oh no, Rook, what will you do now that you can’t use Daddy Mercer to taunt me?”

He glares. ”Find something worse."

I smirk. “Doubt it.”

“Watch me,” he mutters, grabbing his coffee and taking a very aggressive sip, his eyes still lo

    Rook POVHarlow rests against my chest, warm and content, her tiny fingers gripping the fabric of my hoodie like she’s claiming me. I shift her slightly, watching as Kade walks away toward my father’s office, his shoulders looser than they’ve been in weeks.I smirk, feeling a little too pleased with myself. Finally, something’s going right. Kade’s not stressing over his mom, not losing his mind over Amelia, and for once, he’s just Kade, no weight on his shoulders, no tension in his jaw.Which means I can finally go back to what’s important.Finding a new way to piss him off.Daddy Mercer is dead, well, not dead, but useless now. The bastard took it and made it his own, which means it’s lost all power. I need something worse. Something he won’t dare embrace the way he did that.I hum to myself, rocking Harlow slightly. Maybe Baby Mercer? No, he’d just shrug it off. Kitten? Nah, he’d flip it back on me. Princess? Now that might get a reaction.“That smirk is terrifying,” Rose’s voice cu

    Rook POVWe head outside, and sure enough, there they are, cameras parked across the street, journalists lingering near the usual places we go, waiting for something new to report.Kade doesn’t react, doesn’t even acknowledge them as he buckles Harlow into the car, but I see the way his shoulders tense slightly.The second we settle into the car, I can still feel it—that heavy, lingering presence of cameras snapping away as we pull off.Kade sits beside me, silent, Harlow still clinging to his hoodie like she owns him. Across from us, Rose is in the passenger seat, her eyes flicking to the mirrors, probably watching the same thing I am.“They’re still following,” she mutters, low enough that only we can hear.“Of course they are,” I reply, leaning back, keeping my voice casual. “As I keep saying. The ‘sister’s kid’ excuse isn’t working anymore. It’s been too long, and soon they will come to their own stories."Kade exhales sharply, running a hand through his hair. “They’ll keep pushin

    Rook POVKade doesn’t speak the entire way to the mall, which is impressive. Usually, he’d at least get a sarcastic comment in, but no, he’s brooding. It makes pushing him even more fun.“So,” I say, stretching slightly, waiting for him to snap. “You picked out our wedding colors yet?”Kade’s head snaps toward me, eyes wide with pure exhaustion. “What?”I shrug. “You know, the big day. Gotta plan ahead, Mercer. Gotta make sure it’s classy but also reflects our personalities. Maybe navy and gold? You know, to honor your hockey? Or something bold, like red and black, real mafia wedding vibes."His face is pure disbelief. “You’re actually insane.”“Yes, Daddy,” I reply smoothly, watching his soul leave his body.His jaw clenches. “Rook.”“Shh,” I pat his thigh. “You’re gonna need to start thinking about this, Mercer. You’re not getting rid of me."Kade groans loudly, rubbing his temples. “Why the fuck did I agree to go out with you today?”“Because you love me,” I smirk, watching the mal

    Rook POVRose, who’s been completely silent until now, clears her throat. “Should I be concerned that people are recording you?”I glance over, spotting a few people not-so-subtly holding up their phones. “Oh, absolutely not,” I grin. “This is exactly what I wanted.”Kade groans. “You are actually the worst person I know.”“You say that,” I hum, steering us toward the food court, “but I know you’re secretly enjoying yourself.”He glares at me, but it’s half-hearted at best, instead of fighting, he lets me lead, which is dangerous.Dragging Kade toward the food court was easy. Keeping him there? That’s the challenge.He’s still sulking, his bright pink hoodie standing out like a damn beacon, and Harlow is gripping the fabric with all the possessiveness of someone who refuses to be put down. Kade keeps adjusting her slightly, like she’s the only thing grounding him right now.The second we step into the food court, I don’t even bother asking what he wants.“I’ll order for us,” I announc

    Kade POVRook is pushing it, and the worst part? He knows it.He’s been doing it all damn day, testing me, waiting for some kind of reaction. But if he thinks he’s going to get me to snap just because he’s been chirping at me non-stop, he’s out of luck. I’ve dealt with worse.He’s sitting across from me now, smug as hell, like he’s proud of himself, chewing obnoxiously slow on his pizza, his eyes flicking to me every so often. He’s waiting for something. Waiting for me to break.I keep my expression flat, lifting my drink and taking a long sip, giving him nothing.He swallows his bite, sitting back and stretching his arms out over the booth like he’s some kind of king. “You know, I think today’s been really productive.”I raise a brow. “Do you?”“Absolutely,” he nods, fingers tapping the table rhythmically. “We got you some fresh new merch. The cameras got plenty of good footage. And most importantly, we really tested your self-restraint.”My jaw tightens just slightly, but I exhale s

The second before he does something.I barely have time to react before he grabs a fistful of my hoodie and drops like a damn rock, dragging me straight down with him.I don’t hit the ice gracefully, none of this is graceful at all. There’s a dull thud as my back meets the ice, Rook sprawled across me like he just won a fight.Laughter erupts from the people watching, and someone cheers. Groaning, I stare at the ceiling of the rink, contemplating my life choices.Rook props himself up on his elbows, smirking down at me. “That was fun.”I glare. “You’re an actual menace.”“Admit it,” he grins, completely unbothered. “You’re having fun.”I should shove him off, I should leave him lying here like the absolute problem that he is. Instead, I grab the front of his hoodie, pull him down, and kiss him.The rink erupts, the sound of more cameras rushing forward and

She’s more patient than I expected for a baby that barely cries, but she’s clearly hungry.While I get her settled, Rook disappears into the aisles, far too invested in whatever the hell he’s looking for. It doesn’t take long before he returns, grinning like he just found the key to all of my suffering.A stack of books drops onto the table.I glance at them, unimpressed.Parenting books.Rook plops into the seat across from me, flipping one open immediately. He’s not even subtle about holding them up so the cameras outside can see.“‘Bonding With Baby: How to Ensure a Strong Attachment in the First Year,’” he reads, resting his elbow on the table. “Sounds like something you should brush up on, Mercer.”I don’t react, watching as Harlow slowly finishes her bottle. “I think I’m doing fine.”“Oh, sure,” he hums, flipping a page. “But listen to this—‘Babies res

All I can focus on is Kade standing there, collar around his neck, grinning like he just destroyed me.Because he has.This wasn’t supposed to happen.I was supposed to get under his skin, make him uncomfortable, push him just enough to regret playing games with me. I wanted to watch him stammer, roll his eyes, shove the collar back at me while muttering something about how I’m an idiot.But no.He flipped it on me.And now? Now the entire world is going to think I put my NHL-star boyfriend in a collar and dragged him around in public like some kind of deranged handler.Kade steps back, still smirking, still so fucking pleased with himself, and I can’t do a damn thing about it because the second I react, it’s going to make it even worse.I rub my hands down my face, groaning. “You absolute fucking lunatic.”Ka

Daddy Mercer does stupid stuff.”Snorting, I nod. “True, but him trying to check someone and instead tripping over his own feet, slamming into the ice, and smashing his face definitely was.”She gasps before bursting into laughter, her giggles so loud even the soldiers and capo glance over. She clutches her stomach, barely able to catch her breath. “He fell?” she wheezes between laughs.“Flat on his

    Rook POVWhen I wake, I’m still in bed with Rook wrapped around me. My eyes fall on the ring, and I’m glad I gave it to him. Even if the whole thing was hard. We need something so that I don’t have to stay locked in this bedroom, avoiding Harlow.If I’m going to be home resting, I should get to spend time with her. But I also know I have no idea my mom is still here. Courtesy of my father. Not today. For today, I can stay in the bedroom, and Rook will figure out something to tell Harlow to explain the bruises and broken fingers.Sliding out of bed, I go downstairs, and she’s already in the kitchen with Rose.“Let me guess, pancakes?”“No!” Harlow smiles at me.“Wait, no? You can’t go changing the routine, I want pancakes!” I joke, and she laughs.“She’s discovered the waffle maker.”Oh... “Well, I’m on board with waffles as well.”Standing here, we make waffles, and she talks away.

    Kade POVA lump forms in my throat. “I’m sorry you didn’t feel like you could say them on our wedding day. But why now? Why were you going to give them to me on our anniversary when I had gotten worse, not better?”“Part of me hoped it would make you realize. The other part of me was ready to not give it to you at all and hide it for another five years. Honestly? I probably wouldn’t have given it to you. I just told myself I would.”I roll the ring between my fingers, the weight of it sinking into my palm like a stone. It’s not just a ring. It’s everything I missed, everything I ignored, everything Rook held onto when I didn’t even realize he was waiting for me to catch up.I swallow hard. “You really thought you’d have to hide this for another five years?”He watches me, and there's something heavy in his eyes. “I didn’t just think it, Kade. I knew it. I told myself I’d give it to you on our anniversary, but deep down, I knew I wouldn’t. Because y

    Kade POVNow what do I do? I stare at the ceiling, watching time pass by. It’s been an hour, maybe two. I don’t fucking know because I refuse to check my phone because then I'll be tempted to do business from it. The temptation is there, but I made a promise, and I’m actually trying this time.I sit up, then lay back down. I flip onto my side, then my stomach, then back again. I’m going fucking insane.My fingers itch for something to do. I’ve already looked around the room, checked every inch like I was in a damn prison cell. Nothing, there's nothing to help distract me.Getting up and I pace the floor, stopping at the window to look outside. It’s not like I can go out there. I’m not meant to be seen by Harlow yet. That was the rule, and for once, I’m actually following it.Sighing, I flop back onto the bed. I should have asked for a book or something. How the fuck do people sit in a room and do nothing? This is torture.I run a hand throug

    Kade POVWorking wasn’t me running. It was me trying not to go crazy sitting in this room alone. I get that Harlow can’t see me yet, but being locked up in a bedroom is making me lose my mind.Still, I agreed to three hours. Just three hours of work. Which means I need to figure out how to make this room feel less like a prison cell. It’s not like I can go anywhere else, not when they play hide and seek and every room is fair game except the bedrooms people are sleeping in.“How’s Harlow?” I ask, sitting down on the bed.“She was safe the entire time,” Rook says.“That doesn’t answer the question, Rook.”Sighing, he sits down beside me. “She was scared, obviously. We had to put a vest on her. Mostly, though, she was mad at me for sending her away with Rose instead of letting her stay.”I nod, smirking. “Which is why you look like a princess.”He nods slowly. “I’ve never made her cry before, and I did that.

He should be grateful Nikolai agreed to keep him, otherwise, he’d have nothing.“Be grateful you have the team,” I tell him flatly. “I wanted to leave you with nothing.”His eyes narrow. “This is fucked up. What’s the point in me working under Nikolai when he won’t be doing this or have power?”“Would you rather have nothing?”He glares at me. “So what, I work under Nikolai and you get all the fucking rewards? All this because I faked wanting to fuck you for a few pictures?”“Are you done?” I ask, barely restraining my patience. This is because Rook won’t let him near me, I’m saving his fucking life.“No. What the fuck is Nikolai thinking? He would never have agreed to this. So because y

A thought flickers across her face, and suddenly, I don’t trust her, it’s the same damn look that Mercer gets when he’s planning my demise.“Since you can’t get a dress,” she says sweetly, already walking toward the accessories section, “you have to wear something else!”I stare after her, dread settling in my stomach. “Harlow…”She ignores me completely, grabbing something from the shelf before turning back with an innocent little grin, holding up a bright pink tiara covered in fake gemstones.I blink. “No way.”“Yes way,” she says, walking right up to me and standing on her tiptoes to try and reach my head.

If I say no, that goes.”“Daddy Rook!” Harlow waves her arms, and Rose just smirks.“You realize she’s going to go big and bold, right? No natural tones. You’re going to come out of here looking like a clown.”“Well then, I’m her clown,” I state and walk over, sitting beside Harlow.“What’s the plan?” the woman looks at me.“Ask Rose,” I say, pointing to Rose. The plan is they pretend to put makeup on her. She gets lipstick and eyeshadow and a bit of blush, but everything else is fake. I don’t want her having whatever else on her face.I think Rose mentioned foundation? Maybe it was primer? I’ve got no fuckin
