The Proposal (Book 3 of The Arrangement series) のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 81 - チャプター 87

Amberleigh decided to eat her feelings so she dug that half gallon of moose tracks ice cream from the freezer and grabbed a spoon. She planted herself at the island counter and debated checking in with Leo. She hadn’t heard from him in a while but didn’t want to come off as one of those suffocating fiancée. But Leo probably would have communicated by now if blood had been shed or he needed bailed out of jail.Before she knew it, Amber had eaten half the fucking container of ice cream as she thought about the life choices which had brought her here. She also mulled over the future and co-parenting with a man who had a lot of anger and unspoken resentment towards her.She understood where Grayson was coming from. He was hurt and angry over a ton of shit he’d just let bottle up rather than ever deal with. The murder of his brother, which he hadn’t really ever got over Adam’s death to began with. His disease, like staring down the barrel of a gun he couldn’t escape from. And seeing Amber

Giovanni opened the rear door instead.“Ladies first,” said Grayson.They loaded into the vehicle and made the trek to the wrong side of the tracks. On the ride, Giovanni and Amber chatted about the baby and her intentions to graduate high school. Her father told her he was proud of her and again suggested Giovanni as a great name for his grandchild. He also got the usually introverted billionaire to join in the conversation and get Amber riled up over suggesting naming their child Adam Milton or Agatha Louise. No fucking way was that going to happen to her baby.Doc personally let them in the backdoor. After pleasant greetings, Amber couldn’t help but tease a bit.“I thought you had people for this doc.”He smiled, “My usual doorman now has a girlfriend. One of which he won’t be seeing outside of school hours for a while if he’s not home in the next twenty minutes.”Donny was a good kid. He would likely be home by curfew. Amber wouldn’t mind getting the chance to say hello to him ton

Amberleigh gave Grayson a moment to think over her proposal. To make his decision. The billionaire loosened his tie like it was choking him. Beside her Leo rolled onto his side and began to run a finger up and down Amber’s bare back. He was clearly ready to go another round. And so was she. But the question remained, would Grayson be joining them?“I don’t like Leo in that way. I’m straight,” he spoke finally.Amber smiled, “It’s not your job to pleasure him or each other. Unless of course you boys want too. But it’s both of your jobs to pleasure me. You don’t have to do anything you’re uncomfortable with.”Leo began to kiss her neck, “I’ll keep my hands to myself G-Man. Except of course when it comes to her.”He ran his tongue up the side of her neck. Amber shivered and awaited the billionaire’s decision. She wasn’t going to pressure him into anything he wasn’t ready for. Grayson took a deep breath.She bit her lip, “Or you can just watch if you would like. Feel free to join in if yo

Amberleigh's private chef had indeed made a spread worthy of a queen. Chocolate covered strawberries, a tantalizing fruit and cheese board, cucumber sandwiches, stuffed mushrooms, lamb kabobs, and that was just his starters. Dinner he kept a well guarded secret. Amber just hoped now he would be setting the table for three and Grayson would stay with them. He deserved to spend the holiday with those who loved him. As Amber and Grayson dug in, Leo pulled a box from beneath the counter and handed it to her. He gave her a kiss on the cheek. “Happy Birthday, Love.” “But I thought I already got my present babe,” she smiled. “Open it then. I’m sure you’ll like this one better.” Amber opened the black box to find a golden necklace inside. Dangling upon it was a pendent etched with an engraved image of the baby’s face from the last ultrasound. Well the last one Leo had been present for. Tears clouded her eyes. “Oh Leo, I love it!” Amber wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him clo
