Payton“Santa came! Santa came!” a tiny little voice squealed and then the body attached to that voice jumped onto the bed.“Shhh, baby girl,” Alex grumbled. “Payton’s still asleep.”“Payton,” Lily whispered, and patted my face. “Santa came.”“That’s awesome, honey.” I forced my eyes open and wrapped my arm around her, pulling her between me and Alex. “How about you give me and daddy a minute to wake up and we’ll come see what Santa brought you.”“Okay!” She jumped off the bed as quick as she’d come and rushed out the door.I rolled back onto Alex and sighed. “What time is it?”He grabbed his phone and then set it on the nightstand again. “Six.”“Going forward, we have to have a rule… no waking Mommy and Daddy before nine.” Chalk it up to my exhaustion, but it took me a minute to realize what I’d said. “I mean—”“Don’t, baby,” Alex interrupted. “Don’t you dare backtrack on that one.” He rolled me onto my back and smiled. “I love that. You have no idea how much I love that, but I love that.”I sm

PaytonI WAS NAKED and waiting, as per the instructions, and my body was primed. God, it was primed. Alex found ways to slip his hand under my skirt that were beyond stealth. The first had been in the kitchen when we were pouring drinks for everyone. We were alone, albeit only hidden from the waist down by the large kitchen island. From behind, he’d run his hand between my thighs and slipped a finger inside me before lightly touching my clit. Then he was gone.The next time was the classic “under the table” move, where his hand slid up my thigh, his pinky connecting with me before laughing at something my brother said and looping his arm around the back of my chair. There had been several more, but thinking about them just made me crazy. I was forced to keep my expression as impassive as possible, but it grew increasingly harder as the night wore on, and all I wanted to do was get him alone.I had to go through saying goodnight to everyone, except Brock and Bailey who were staying the nig

Payton“Oooh, these are awesome,” I said, and pulled two of the twelve-inch nutcrackers off the shelf. “They’re only seven bucks.”Anna grinned. “Grab me one, please.”“And me,” Mom said.“I only have so many hands,” I said with a laugh. “Lily, can you—” I glanced down and she was gone. “Crap! Where the hell did she go?”I dropped the nutcrackers in the cart and left it where it was. Anna watched the carts while Bailey, me, and Mom went looking for Lily.I walked down the third aisle to see her talking to a man hunkered down in front of her. I don’t know why, call it my new mom intuition, but I pulled out my cell phone and snapped a photo of him. “Lily!”“Hi Mommy.”“Come here, baby,” I said, but the man rose to his feet and laid a hand on her shoulder.“Lily and I were just getting acquainted, Payton.”“I believe you have me at a disadvantage.” I held my hand out to Lily. “Come here, Lily.”“Ow,” she squeaked, and I saw red.I advanced on him. “You need to let my daughter go.”“We’re not done.”“Li

I had been in bed for almost an hour (not sleeping), when my door opened and Alex walked in. He wore pajama bottoms and nothing else, but I forced myself to ignore my body (mostly because it was suddenly horny), and closed my eyes. The dip of the bed had me opening them again and I found myself face-to-face with Alex. “What do you want?”His answer was to run his lips across my neck, and then his mouth was on mine and I was being pulled on top of him as his hand slid into my hair. I turned my head, breaking the kiss, and laid my hand over his mouth. “Green.”Alex sighed and rolled me so we were facing each other. “I just want you safe.”“I get it, honey. I do. And I appreciate that… to a point.” I stroked his check. “I don’t really know why I’m mad, honestly. I watch Bailey and Macey and see how crazy they get with Brock and Dallas, and I think I just…”“Overreacted?”I slapped his chest. “Can we both admit to a little overreaction?”He slipped his hand under my cami and stroked my back. “I’

HawkI stood in the kitchen and watched her leave. I wanted to fuckin’ kill Jenny… more so than before. I had no idea how Payton and I would move past this, but I had to keep them safe or I’d never forgive myself.My phone buzzed, and I reached into my pocket, pulling it out. “Hey, Kay.”“Are you sitting down?” she asked.“Not currently, no. Why?”“Mike called last night—”“Why the hell are you taking his calls?”Mike was Kayla’s ex, and not only did he step out on her, he was a major douchebag in general.“Just listen,” she stressed. “I didn’t take his call. He left me a voicemail and I called him back because of what he told me.”I sighed. “Yeah, and what did the fucker say?”“He was at The Pink Fox, you know, the strip club in Gresham?”“Can’t say I do, but go on.”“Anyway, it’s run by some Russian mob guys, and they offer services that go further than lap dances. Mike was there, shocker, but guess who one of the prostitutes was?”“I’m on the edge of my seat, Kay,” I droned sarcastically.“Jenny.
