Chapter 21: DJ- One WeekEllie was out by the time Leah was done, so I carried her to the bed for some much-needed rest.Silently thanking myself for keeping my phone on vibrate when Vic called. He was watching Nica, and just hearing his voice made me realize how much I missed my baby girl.It also drove home why it hurt every time Ellie got a call from her son. Ellie was utterly devoted to her child, while Penny treated ours like a bargaining chip.She knew I wouldn’t deny our daughter anything. That was half the reason I’d waited so long to divorce her—so I could ensure I’d get full custody.I missed Nica like crazy, no matter how badly I needed this break. The twist in my gut was simple: I wanted to hold her, and I knew the woman I’d knocked up wouldn’t have a thing to do with our little girl once she realized she wasn’t getting anything from me.I would always support family. I even made sure Dom arranged unlimited visitation. It was a toss-up whether Penny would use that to try t

Chapter 23: Ellie- Dominic JosephI felt like an idiot for dumping him. DJ seemed more than happy to just spoil me for a week, but what he was doing hit too close to home. He wanted to learn me. Take care of me. It was too much to pretend. Too real to be fake.I shook it off in the cab ride to the rental lot. The call wasn’t Tom or Danny—it was Bill, my sister’s husband. The one who’d gotten me into real estate, who had steered me toward the less obvious, less traveled avenues. I had forgotten the auction was today.Thank goodness Bill hadn’t.The first time I saw the property was when Daniel was still alive. We’d talked about moving down here. It was five hours away but still close enough to his family and mine. I had fallen in love with it then.Over the years, I kept tabs, checking the tax auction site until I found it again. When I placed my bid, Bill made the transfer with the account access I’d given him. Now the county needed me to sign for the deed. Nothing was going to get in

Chapter 25: Ellie- Mine“She is mine,” DJ all but growled, glaring at the clerk.Though the ginger was taller, there was no question who was more intimidating. I had never seen a more serious or deadly look on Joe’s face. All the sweet, boyish charm was gone.“Very well then,” the man gritted his teeth and withdrew.“What the hell was that?” I forced myself to breathe before glaring up at DJ.“Oh, sweetie,” Annette gave me a pitying look. “Honey, by saying you’re with us, it means you’re spoken for and can’t be with anyone without our permission.”“Oh.” I bit my lip, unable to hide my embarrassment.“This is why you should stay with Joe Joe. He’ll watch out for you.”“Oh,” I managed again, not really sure what to say.“I got her, Ma,” Joe said tensely, sliding his hand back around my waist with quiet possession. He kissed Annette’s forehead and left me little choice but to follow him back to the floor for a slow dance.“Apparently, you are the only one who does not know you are a sub,

Chapter 27: Ellie- DenialStorming back to my room alone, acting every bit as childish as I’d accused Lyrin of being, was not how I wanted the night to go. Sitting in the quiet, dealing with the backlash of the singular fling I’d ever allowed myself, wasn’t how I wanted to celebrate either.Even after ending things with him that morning, the first thing I’d wanted to do when I got back was see if DJ was free. I hadn’t dressed up for anyone but him, proving that even before I learned the truth, I was already inconsistent and hypocritical.My eyes lingered on the door to our shared bathroom. I was still tempted.I’d never had angry sex before. Emotional, sure. But… damn it. What did he do to my head?Sex. Sex. Sex. That was all my attention-starved brain could think about.And worse—before this “forget the asshole” trip, Ben had been the best I’d ever had. Now, DJ had blown him out of the water in every single way. The only good thing to come from this mess was that I was completely, ut

Chapter 29: DJ- NegotiationsI had planned on waking her up with the sun in one of the various positions that played in my head through the night, but when Dad called early saying it was business, I knew there was no avoiding it.I ordered her breakfast and laid out her clothes, wondering when I would get the chance to take them off of her again. The only thing I knew for sure was that I was going to have her in as many ways as many times as I was physically capable of.She was a feisty and demanding little thing, though. She also didn’t acknowledge her own limits.Last night was a prime example.No matter what was or wasn’t between us, I needed her trust. If nothing else, she had to trust me, to turn to me.If I were involved in her life in any way, shape, or form, she should never hesitate to come to me. Even people I was no longer with had the option.Not for sex or money, but for help.During my marriage, there were a few times females I knew had gotten into bad or dangerous situa
