All Chapters of The Bucket List : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

The twins’ mother was not how I’d imagined her to be. She was the exact opposite of the brooding man they called Dad. Tammi was a small, petite woman with a very bubbly personality. It was funny to watch her yell at them when they did something to piss her off, like leave their dirty dishes in the sink instead of washing them.But then again, she wasn’t very happy about the fact that I was sleeping in the den with them. According to her, it was no place for a lady, but unfortunately, there wasn’t another place for me to sleep.One thing that sucked about sleeping in the den was the heat. Even with the fans, it was hot. The men were lucky because they could take off their clothes and nobody would bat an eye.“Coffee to go with the cookies, dear?”I blinked and raised my head to look at Tammi as she approached me with a plate of cookies.“No, thank you. I’m okay.” I gave her a smile and watched her as she took a seat on the bamboo chair that had been moved out onto the porch.I shifted

Steam filled the bathroom. Not that I was bothered by it. My mind was too occupied by the man currently kneeling between my legs with his mouth glued to my clit. He’d thrown one of my legs over his shoulder when he knelt, but now both my legs were thrown over his shoulders, and the only thing keeping me up was his hands under my ass.My fingers clawed at the tiles on the walls.With a last swipe of his tongue, Steven’s hands slipped to my thighs, where he gripped them and slowly pulled them from his shoulders. My eyes snapped open once I stood on shaky legs.Steven straightened and licked his lips. His eyes locked with mine as he pushed the curtain aside and reached out to grab something.I bit my lips as I watched him open the box and pull out a foil packet. He threw the box down and pulled the curtain close again. My breathing increased, and for a moment, fear filled me as I watched him put the condom on.“Changed your mind?” he asked when he caught my eyes.I shook my head. “Just n

“Can you move the fan a bit?”“If I move it anymore, you’re the only one who’s going to feel it,” Thomas hissed from his spot somewhere to the left.“You can’t complain!” I yelled at him. “The four of you have it easy. You’re almost fucking naked, and I have to sit here sweating buckets.”“If you make one fucking comment about my sexuality, Thomas, I swear I will fuck you up,” Kieran hissed.I stared up at the dark ceiling and held my breath. Thankfully, Thomas listened to Kieran and stayed silent. The last thing I wanted was for them to start fighting again. It was all they’d been doing these days.Fighting and arguing.“Besides,” Steven muttered, “we’re not naked, brown eyes. I’m wearing the new underwear you got me.”“Us,” Thomas spoke up. “The underwear you got us.”Sheets rustled. “I don’t understand why you got us underwear and not Kieran any.”The air slowly left my lungs, and my lips tilted up into a smile. “You’re all wearing your underwear right now?”Sitting up, I leaned ov

“Excuse me?” I gasped.She slammed her palms down on the table and leaned forward to glare at me. “You must be part of a cult or something. I raised my boys with manners. They would never, never participate in such disgraceful acts.”My mouth dropped open.“It’s sinful!” she exploded. “God made women for one man and one man only!”Pursing my lips, I pushed my chair back and stood. “Listen, Tammi, you—”“You’re not a virgin, are you?”“It’s none of your business,” I hissed.“So you’re one of those girls. You’re just with them for the fun of the joyride.”“With all due respect, Tammi, you don’t know me; therefore, you have no right to judge me. I love your sons, and I love Kieran and Severide just as much, but what happens in our personal lives has nothing to do with you. We’re all adults, and that includes Steven and Thomas. I think that they’re old enough to make their own decisions.” I gave her a smile. “Please excuse me.”I walked away before she could utter another word and headed

“Did you know about Severide’s marriage?”I felt him tense behind me. My eyes dropped to his hands when he moved them. He was gripping the reins so tightly that his knuckles turned white.“Yes,” Thomas answered softly. “They’d just gotten married when we met.”“Why didn’t you say anything?”Thomas sighed and pulled the horse to a stop. I frowned when he slid down and walked to the side of the horse. Placing a hand on my thigh, he waited until our eyes locked.“It wasn’t my place to tell,” he said. “Look, Albany, I want to spend some time with you. I want to show you around and make you enjoy the rest of your stay here.”He gave my thigh a soft squeeze.“If you’re going to keep talking about them, then we might as well turn around and go back to the house.”My eyes darted over his face as I tried to figure out what he was thinking. His lips were pursed and his eyes dark with anger. How could he be angry at me for asking something they should’ve told me from the start? “I don’t want. .
