Shane’s POV Adult Scenes Ahead"Don't stop. Maya, fuck, yes right there."​I was flat on the floor, my hands locked onto her hips while she rode me with her back turned towards me. Watching the muscles in her back flex and the way her hair swung with every frantic push was a different kind of sexual torture. I was hanging on by a thread.​Then the phone started buzzing.​The vibration on the floor hummed right against my skull. I tried to block it out, focusing on the friction and the way Maya was arched over me, but the rhythm was broken. The phone cut off, then immediately started back up.​"Ignore it," I groaned, digging my right thumb into her hip bone and the squeezing of her left ass cheek to keep her moving.​She didn't need telling. She sped up, her breath coming in short, jagged hitches until I finally hit my peak. I went blind for a second, my heart slamming against my ribs like a jackhammer on concrete. After she slowly stopped moving, I could barely catch my breath.​The

Kole's PovMonday rolled around after an uneventful weekend. Keisha and I took the baby over to my parents’ house, and of course Knox’s baby terrors were already there with him and Sienna. I laughed to myself, because even though my brother and I used to have our issues, we love each other deeply now. We actually had a really good weekend.Kira went over to Martin’s family’s house. They’re still trying to come to grips with everything going on with Martin’s sister and her issues, the death of her husband, and now her three kids. It’s been a little while since it all happened, but not long enough for things to feel settled.I sighed, thinking back to what happened with Jennifer. That was a whole fucking mess. Hopefully she’s getting the help she needs and deserves. They should be driving back today, which means Kira will probably return to work tomorrow. She’s pregnant again. Her and damn Sienna are extremely fertile, it seems.Hell, I should probably check on Keisha too. She might be

Crandon's POVMonday rolled around with no warning and no mercy.We had a quick meeting first thing in the morning, mostly because guess who was finally back at work?Kira.Back full time, allegedly, though she really worked whenever she felt like it. But we needed her on this case badly, and of course, she walks in glowing, confident, and pregnant again.I just shook my head.Two kids wasn’t enough, so now we’re doing three. Fine. Whatever.She sauntered into the boardroom like she never missed a day. “Yes, I am here,” she announced.Everyone was already seated, me, Tempest, Kira, Silas, the whole crew. We were mid-discussion on the sexual harassment case when she dropped her bag and smiled.“What would you guys do without me? I’m the number one Lawyer in this group.”I chuckled. “No, you’re not.”Kole didn’t even look up from his tablet. “You’re definitely not number one.”“I’m only here to sit in for a few minutes,” he added. “This isn’t my case. I’ve got my own shit to handle.”Ki

Maya’s POV Weeks had passed, and every single one of them felt heavier than the last. I had picked up my phone more times than I could count, thumb hovering over Shane’s name, convincing myself I wouldn’t do it, only to put the phone back down like it had burned me. Between the mess with my daughter’s father and whatever was imploding inside Shane’s house, I told myself it was better to leave things alone. Doesn’t mean I didn’t want him. I distracted myself the only way I knew how, with work. Art, commissions, deadlines, and anything that kept my mind from circling the same drain. Stanley stopped by the studio yesterday, unannounced, like always. “I see you’re listening to me,” he said, strolling around like he owned the place. “Abiding by my rules.” I didn’t even look up from my work. “Shut up, Stanley. Why are you here?” He smiled, slow and annoying, with his hands clasped behind his back as he pretended to admire my pieces. “I’d love to see my daughter. Since you keep sayi

Shane's POVTwo weeks after the glow-up of Crandon, the entire office feels… lighter.Better.Crandon is nicer. More relaxed. More approachable. Carmen’s department is growing like wildfire. Even Kole, well, maybe not Kole. Because his situation is just… insane.His baby mama has been camping outside the building. Literally. Every single day when I pull out of the parking garage, she’s there with a pop-up chair and a bag. Rain, sleet, or snow, it doesn’t matter. She’s posted up like it’s a damn tailgate.The police have been called on her four times already.Four.I’ve never seen anything like this in my life. And every time I see her, I think the same thing: where the hell is the child you claim you have by this man?At this point, I’m starting to believe what everyone else believes—even Kole himself. There is no child.Maverick was saying they’re pushing for an emergency hearing, and she’ll have to bring the child in. If she doesn’t show, if there is no child, the entire case gets t
