T H O M A SThe ride is quiet, but not uncomfortable. I reach back and place my hand on her leg to stop it from bouncing, and she lets out a long breath to relax.When we arrive at the iron gates of my estate, Gelo presses a button on the wheel and they open. I guess my taste leans more towards Victorian Gothic when it comes to describing my home. The estate looks like a small stone castle from the outside, but the interior is very modern and up-to-date.“Oh my goodness. I'm going to be a princess!” Addison kicks her little legs as she gazes out the window. “Mommy, Mommy! Look.” Addison points to the tower.It really does resemble the ones in Disney movies.“You're already a princess,” Hera says.I rest my elbow on the middle console as Gelo pulls around to the front. “I want extra security. I want someone to check the security system in her building too. I need answers.”“You got it,” Gelo replies as we both step out of the car simultaneously.I open the back door and help Ad

H E R AWe collapse onto the bed, consumed by our passionate kiss. Time seems to slip away as we explore each other's bodies, our tongues dancing in sync. I never want this moment to end."I won't let you slip away from me again," he whispers, his lips trailing down my chest until he takes a nipple into his mouth."Slip away?" I manage to question, surprised by his words.He continues his descent, planting kisses on my stomach and gently pressing his lips against my scar. His hands grip my waist as he positions himself above me. With a knee, he spreads my legs and settles into a comfortable position."I won't miss another pregnancy. I want to be by your side every step of the way. I want to experience it all with you, just like we should have five years ago. I have so much lost time to make up for, and I can't wait any longer," he says, guiding himself to my entrance. "You're already so wet for me. Did you keep this pussy safe for me? Is it all mine?"I nod, teasing my nipples between

T H O M A SI grab my towel and quickly dry myself off before selecting a pair of sweatpants. It's been a while since I've worn them, but today feels like the perfect day to relax with my family—my kids. I really want to spend some quality time with them today. The last thing on my mind is work. I have people to take care of that for me."Thank you," she whispers, her eyes fixed on a stunning emerald gown adorned with real emerald gems along the neckline. "Wow. What's the occasion?""Well, in my line of work, there are always charity events, balls, and galas to attend. It's a great way to network and stay connected in the world of union. I can't wait to see you in that dress," I reply, slipping on a plain blue t-shirt. "And I can't wait to make love to you while you're wearing it.""I guess you better hurry up and get me in that dress then," she teases, dropping her towel and giving me a view that any man would dream about.She puts on a pair of leggings that cling to her curves, and

H E R A"Hera!" Dale's voice calls out from across the street. It's been ages since I last saw him, but my time has been consumed by Thomas and the kids."Hey, Dale!" I greet him with a side hug, although Thomas's grip on my hand remains firm. "Did you see what happened?""No, I was late opening the store because I had to check on my mom this morning. What the hell happened? Is Keia alright? Who would do this?" Dale asks, surveying the scene of destruction."I don't know, but I'm determined to find out." Thomas's icy green eyes lock onto Dale. "Whoever it was, better hope I don't catch them because nobody messes with my family.""Wait, you and Keia are related?" Dale kicks a piece of glass away with his shoe."No, but we're family because she's Hera's best friend. And anyone who messes with someone Hera cares about will have to deal with me.""I wouldn't want to be on your bad side. I've heard rumors that the bodies are never found," Dale chuckles, trying to brush it off, but Thomas r

T H O M A SI grab my phone and give Gelo a call. He's downstairs doing inventory. "Hey Gelo, I'll be gone for a few hours. I need to go see Hera.""No worries. I'll hold down the fort until you're back.""Thanks." I hang up, run my fingers through my hair, and start thinking about how I'm going to convince Hera that Dale is the enemy.Wait, was it Valir who tried to kidnap her the other day? I can't let her out of my sight. Hera and the kids need to be with me at all times. I couldn't forgive myself if anything happened to them because I let my guard down.I make my way downstairs, lost in my thoughts, and head to the underground garage. I try calling Hera, but she doesn't answer. I pick up my pace, almost running to the car, and try calling her again.And again. Still no answer."Damn it, Hera. Where are you?" I don't bother buckling my seatbelt as I get in the car. I start the engine and speed out of the garage, leaving skid marks behind.Another car honks at me for cutting them of
