Trey

I let out a sigh of relief when he knocks twice and there's no response. But just as we're about to leave, the door creaks open, and there she is—a woman barely dressed, her pupils like big, dark saucers. Her hair is a mess, and she's so thin that her nightshirt keeps slipping off her shoulders. I notice her pulling down the sleeves, but she doesn't bother hiding the cuts and bruises on her face. Slurring her words, she asks, "What do you want?" She gives us a once-over, running her hand down J's arm, and licks her lips. "Well, hello there, handsome. What's your name?" she asks seductively.

"A minor. Don't fucking touch him," I growl, yanking him away by his elbow. "We're looking for William Thompson. Is he here?"

"Why? Are you the feds?"

"No. I'm his son," Jeremiah responds.

If we were, the guilt on her face speaks for itself.

She gives an exasperated eye roll. "Willy! There's some kids here to see you!" she shouts towards the back of the trailer.

    Trey "Fine, but I don't want him anywhere near here. You meet him in a public place," I insist, gritting my teeth. The "pity" face comes out to play again. "And you'll foot the bills, right? Your greedy bi-, mother be takin' my check. I heard 'bout your restaurant. It would be a damn shame if we couldn't reconnect, due to funds that I know you have." I clench my jaw even tighter, almost to the point of breaking my teeth. "Fine. Just make sure you never lay a fucking hand on him. If I ever find out that you've hurt him, I'll kill you," I say with a snarl. He smirks, that look of satisfaction on his face making me feel sick. "Why in the world would I do somethin' like that?" I scoff, rolling my eyes. "Oh right, I forgot. You only hit women and defenseless children." I can tell I've struck a nerve because his nice guy act vanishes in an instant. He clenches his fists, his face contorting with anger. "You better watch your mouth, you little bastard!" he spits out. As he gra

    Kiara I sit in my front seat, busily tapping away at my laptop, when I feel someone's eyes on me. I glance up to see Trey staring back at me. Oh shit! My stomach drops into my ass. I quickly shrink down into the seat, hoping by some chance, he didn't really see me. I mean, it is kinda dark in this garage. I hear a double knock on my window, and with reluctance, I roll it down and sit up to face him. "What are you doing here?" I ask in horror. My attempt to act casual goes straight out the window. It has been two weeks since I last saw him. Was he here looking for me? And why? "Get out of the car," he commands, his voice calm but with an underlying intensity that sends shivers down my spine. I step out and shut the door. He immediately grabs my hand and pulls me towards the elevator. "Where are you going?" He doesn't respond. He just pushes the button and we ride up in a tense silence. His expression is unreadable, as if he's trying his hardest to control his react

    Kiara I enter his luxurious penthouse while he takes my bags inside. I find myself glancing around, half expecting Candace to pop out of nowhere and yell, "Gotcha, bitch!" Oh God. I'm nauseous. This feels so fucking wrong. There's no way I was going to let him pay for a hotel, so I chose the cheaper but probably worse option. There's no way I can stay here and not feel that I'm betraying Candace. If she found out, how would I even explain this to her? The knot in my stomach tightens. I don't even realize I'm hyperventilating until Trey crushes me against his chest. "Shh Cupcake, it's going to be okay." Against my better judgement, I melt into his embrace, his delicious scent washing over me. I quickly come to my senses, and push him away. "W-We can't do this, Trey. Candace is going to hate us!" He grabs my shoulders, squeezing gently. "Look Kiara, you're not doing anything wrong. You've been living in your fucking car for weeks, and Candace was so caught up in her own shit,

    Trey "You're in a good mood tonight, Chef," Alex teases. He dresses another dish and places it on the counter before ringing the bell for Sabrina to run it out to the servers. "Table fifteen is up!" I can't help but grin from ear to ear. "I am. Kiara is currently at my place." The thought of her probably sleeping in my bed right now fills me with unbridled happiness. Instead of coming home to an empty home after I get off in the early hours of the morning, I'll be returning to her. I've never looked forward to seeing a woman more than once, so the feeling is new but nice nonetheless. He glances at me with worry. "Uh, Chef...kidnapping isn't legal here. Not sure what y'all did in Texas, but-" I cut him off with a scowl. "She's not tied up anywhere. She came to me willingly. Candace abandoned her when she needed her the most, and I'm just... helping her out." Dinner service was a bit hectic for a while, I've been running back and forth between the kitchen and front of hous

    Trey I take a deep breath and lean against the wall. "She's constantly drunk, especially since Candy left. If I bring him up, she'll just lash out at me." And nobody has time for that bullshit. Ever since I've been back, I thought I could be the glue that pulls our family together, but it seems we're only falling apart more. It's all my fucking fault, and I don't know what to do to fix it. To fix us. Jeremiah comes back with the ticket, practically bubbling with excitement. "Dad and his girl ordered seared scallops, beef Wellington, and spaghetti bolognese!" he exclaims. Of course they fucking did. William is a leech. Is he can find a way to use someone, he's going to bleed them dry. And I'm his current victim. "I'm gonna go talk to Dad. Hit me up if you need anything!" he says before quickly heading out again. I clench my fists tightly, feeling a surge of fury boiling inside me. I'm not sure how much longer I can take of this before I fucking burst and take J's fa

    Kiara The sound of birds chirping outside the window wakes me up. Wow, that was the best sleep I've gotten in weeks. I look around and notice that Trey isn't in here. A tinge of disappointment creeps in, but what was I expecting? To wake up with his arms around me after I already told him we weren't happening? I step out of the room to find Trey lounging on the couch in only grey sweatpants. He's scrolling on his phone when he glances up at me and smirks. "Good morning, it looks like you slept well." His voice is husky with sleep, sending a rush of arousal down to my core. "Good morning. D-Don't you have work or something to go today?" I mutter, feeling my cheeks flush with heat. His eyes narrow. "No, today's my day off. Why? Are you afraid of being alone with me?" More like afraid of the things my body could convince me to do while I'm alone with him. But he doesn't need to know that. "No, I was just wondering," I lie, maintaining my composure. "How w

    Kiara Instead, I just nod. I'm relieved when he doesn't say anything else that will convince me to abandon everything I said and let him do whatever he wants with me. My mind remains clouded with lust even after we finish our meal. He finishes with the dishes and silently retreats to the room. I join him and discover him on the bed, engrossed in his laptop. He's still shirtless, wearing square-framed glasses. I ignore the second heartbeat between my legs as I grab my own laptop and sit down across from him. I might as well do some writing while I have somewhere comfortable to do it. If I don't look at him, I won't get distracted. After twenty minutes, I know because I couldn't help but watch the time tick away at the bottom corner of my screen, he peeks up from his laptop. A coy smile tugging at his perfect lips. "Whatcha working on Cupcake?" he asks softly. "My novel," I mutter, frustration evident in my voice. "I really need to stop getting distracted and wrap it

    KiaraWhen Trey looks away, I gently bring his face back to meet my gaze. His eyes reflect so much guilt and shame when there's no reason for him to feel that way. "If you know the truth, why are you still feeling guilty about it?" I ask softly, still stroking his face. He sighs deeply. "I cost Candy and J a relationship with their father, and there are just so many "What Ifs" that run through my mind. What if they could've changed him into a better man? What if him and mom could've fixed each other somehow? What if somehow the four of them could've been a happy family?" My chest tightens. "And what about you? What about your happiness?" "I would've sacrificed anything for them in a heartbeat," he says confidently. Although my childhood was nowhere near as traumatic as his, we do have something in common. We would do anything for our siblings. Even if they hurt us. Even if they make us out to be the villains in their stories. Even if they've never shown that they fe

    Kiara I take her tiny hand in mine and lead her inside the house. When she sees Trey, she runs to him. "Grandpa, I missed you!" "VioletPie!" Trey responds with equal enthusiasm, scooping her up and swinging her up into his arms. I smile at the adorable interaction, my heart warming at the bond they share. I thought Trey couldn't get sexier as a chef, but watching him be a father and grandfather is everything. He is so kind and patient with kids, you'd never think he used to be a menace in high school. As I glance at the clock, I realize that TJ, his husband, and two daughters should arrive soon. Winston and his wife recently welcomed a baby, so we're giving them space to adjust to their new family dynamic. Candice and Cassie will probably be late, but they always show up eventually. As for Jeremiah, who now lives in Texas with his wife, we won't be seeing him today, but he'll most likely come down for Christmas. William peacefully passed away in his sleep five years ag

    Kiara "Cupcake, they'll be here soon!" Trey's voice calls from downstairs where the delicious smell of food permeates the house. "Shit, I'm coming!" I shout back, quickly submitting my manuscript to my editor—the sixtieth and final book of my writing career. I decided that it's time I retire and enjoy some well-deserved adventures with my husband. Next week we're going to Hawaii for our thirtieth-year anniversary, and the idea of peace and relaxation fills me with excitement. As I walk through the hallway towards the stairs, I can't help but glance at the wall adorned with a collage of photos of our family. Trey and I have faced many obstacles together, but despite it all, we've achieved so much. What did Maggie used to call us? Oh yeah...a power couple. Yeah, I think we've lived up to that nickname. Each photo on the wall serves as a testament to our resilience and everlasting love that has carried us through every twist and turn of our journey together. My eyes

    TreyThe remainder of the night unfolds beautifully. Following dinner, Kiara and I take to the dance floor for our first dance, swaying to "You Are The Reason" by Leona Lewis and Calum Scott. After we return to our seats, everyone starts running to the dance floor. Meanwhile, Magnolia peacefully sleeps in Kiara's arms as we watch them dance. I can't help but smile as a sense of contentment washes over me. The room is filled with laughter and smiles and infectious energy of people just reveling in the moment — exactly what I had hoped for. "Can I hold her?" Williams asks eagerly, reaching out for his granddaughter with a twinkle of adoration in his eyes. Kiara beams. "Of course. We're about to go dance anyway, right Trey?" I nod. She made sure there were multiple songs in our playlist that we could line dance to. After carefully passing Magnolia into his arms, ensuring not to disturb her sleep, Kiara seizes my hand. "Let's go, Candice!" she exclaims, her excitement

    Trey "I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride," the minister declares, his voice ringing through the chapel. We had planned to get married before our daughter was born, but at twenty eight-weeks pregnant, she tried to come early, and Kiara was put on bed rest for the remainder of the pregnancy. It was a rough ass time for her, but of course, my amazing wife managed to get through it and successfully deliver our healthy nine-pound baby. For someone who didn't let her Mama eat much without throwing up, she sure weighed a lot. Hand in hand, surrounded by our family and guests, we stroll down the aisle, cheers mingling with the soft patter of rice raining down on us. With 'Lux Temptations' on the same block as the chapel, we decided that everyone would walk there together. Of course, It only made sense for us to have the reception at our restaurant, the best in Virginia. My staff volunteered their time and effort today to cater my wedding as l

    Kiara I feign a pout at the command. "But I want to make the demands tonight." He smacks my ass as I move into position, causing me to giggle, "Okay, okay. I'm sorry, Chef." Trey's fingers softly graze over my skin, making me shiver in anticipation as he trails all the way from the nape of my neck to my pussy. Then, I feel him spit on my asshole, and I moan as I feel it drip down. He hums as if he's contemplating something. "Are you sure you can handle me fucking you hard tonight, Cupcake?" Always. "Yes, Sir," I whimper needily. He smacks my ass again. "What? I didn't hear you." "Yes, Sir!" I say louder. Hoping it makes him lose control, I wiggle my ass for him. Obviously it works because he grips my hips and impales me with his cock. He grabs my ponytail tightly, using it as a reign as he pounds into me. "H-Holy...holy...s-shitttt," I stammer, my fingers clawing at the sheets as he demolishes my pussy. There's something about pregnancy that makes sex so much more amazi

    Kiara I needed this. His touch brings back the peace that was disrupted when we went to my parents house. I expected a bad reaction, but nowhere as explosive as my mom was. There's a chance she may not want to be in our lives after today, but honestly, I think I'm okay with that. I'm tired of trying to live up to her expectations just because the life she chose to live wasn't fulfilling to her. I won't make the same mistake. I know for certain that even if she doesn't show up for me and my daughter, I have people that will. Once we return downstairs, the aroma of pizza fills the air. William, Jeremiah, and Candice are sitting at the table, engaged in conversation and laughter. Candice waves us over with a smile. "Hey guys, we were just talking about a weekly game night or something, at least until you have the baby," she suggests enthusiastically. I smile. "I love that idea. What do you think?" I ask Trey. He smirks in response. "Hell yeah, but we're not playing S

    Kiara I'm rendered speechless as we step into the house, marveling at all of the changes they've made. Despite the remodeling, Maggie's home still exudes the same cozy warmth it always has. When Trey mentioned he had a surprise for me, one that would be revealed once it was completed, I suspected that it was a house or something. Never did I anticipate that it would be Maggie's. Yet, I'm so damn happy and grateful that it is. It somehow makes me feel even closer to her knowing we'll live in the same space that she raised her children in. Soon, we'll be raising our own children here. "You guys did this yourselves?" I ask, pausing in the dining room, my eyes resting on Maggie's table, the very one I've eaten countless meals or sat talking with Maggie. "William, J, and I did all the hard work," Trey beams, "and, of course, Candy did all of the interior decorating." Candy slaps her brother's arm. "Just so you know, that was hard too, asshole," she laughs, shooting him a pl

    Trey "I love my girls so much," I murmur, feeling a lump form in my throat from the overwhelming rush of love and pride bursting from my chest. Kiara sniffles, her voice thick with emotion. "We love you too." Suddenly, my phone vibrates, breaking the tender moment. Glancing at the screen, the text says, "it's done." I kiss her passionately, savoring her lips before I pull a blindfold out of my pocket and reach over to cover her eyes, gently tying it behind her head. "What's this for?" she asks, grinning. "Time for the surprise you've been waiting so impatiently for," I say, my voice brimming with excitement as I pull out of her parent's driveway. My heart races, imagining how she's going to react when I reveal the long-awaited surprise. I really hope she loves it. It's not long before we pull up at a familiar address, although the house has been completely transformed in the past four months. "We're here," I announce, swallowing hard as I step out of the car.

    TreyAll eyes shift to Kiara, a thick tension growing in the room as they wait for her to speak. Her mouth opens and closes, but she seems unable to form the words. Glancing up at me, her face flushed with distressed, she screams for help with her eyes. I squeeze her hand to let her know that everything's alright. Clearing my throat, and stand up. Who knows why; maybe it's because I'm accustomed to making announcements this way at my restaurant. "We're having a little girl together," I say proudly, unable to contain my grin. Although I can hardly believe it myself, I've heard her little heartbeat and watched her suck her thumb at the last ultrasound. To say I'm over the moon is a fucking understatement. I feel the peace in the room pop like a bubble. Her father stares at us in stunned silence. The color drains from her ex's face and he looks as if he may be stick to his stomach that it's with me and not him. Meanwhile, her sister bursts out laughing, the sound echoing through t
