I shook my head. I had no idea how he’d known Portia, and assumed he’d met her because of Gary.She smiled as if she were recalling the memory. “We did, all the way through high school. We weren’t a part of the same group or anything like that, but we knew who each other was. It wasn’t until college that we became close.”I cocked my head at her, my eyes narrowing as she continued. “We were friends, your dad, Gary and I. Before he met your mother. All honesty, I didn’t have any romantic interest in Gary until he made a move. At first, my interest for hanging out with Gary was purely because of his best friend. Gary asked me out when your dad met Theresa. Besides having a crush on me, I think he wanted to keep up with your dad. They were both ready to start their business and their lives, and they wanted wives. That was what good businessmen did iRelated chapters

Kelsey“What was that all about?” I asked Mack once the elevator door closed with Portia behind it. Mack was squeezing me to his side, then shifted so he was hugging me straight on, his head dipping into my shoulder.“It was weird,” he sighed.I ran my hands along his back, doing my best to comfort him while he held onto me tightly. “Do you want to talk about it?”Letting out a heavy breath, he lifted his head. “No, but I need to.”I cupped his strained jaw, unsure what to do or say to help with his emotions.“Portia basically told me my parents, her, and Gary, were swingers and were all in love with each other.”My eyes widened from his confession.Sucking in both his lips, he nodded. “Yep, something you never want to know about your parents.”“I can’t imagine what’s going through your head right now,” I soothed, continuing

I kissed him sweetly. “Now, what should we do for the rest of our day?” Letting go of him, I snuck around his side and went in search of Windex and paper towel underneath his sink. “Besides cleaning off my nipple marks from the window.”Mack chuckled. “Damn. I was hoping you’d let them stay there for the rest of the day.”I shook my head as I grabbed the bottle. “Yeah, right. With my luck, Cody will stop by and take a picture of it.”Mack’s chuckle halted immediately. “Good call. Let me help you.”Following me into the living room, he watched me spray the glass and rip off a piece of paper towel. “We can indulge in the bedroom the rest of the night,” he suggested.“We could, or we could discuss the coming week.”He crossed his arms. “What’s there to discuss? We have three days of work then our flight to see your dad.”I eyed him.

Cam’s eyes widened, a broad smile spreading across his face, but it quickly morphed into worry when I took off my sunglasses. “What the hell happened to you?”I’d made a point to cover the bruise with my makeup, but there was no use trying to hide the cut. “I fell in the shower, hit my head on the stability bar attached to the door.”“Shit. That looks painful,” he said through his teeth. “You must have been down all weekend. What a bummer.”“I made the best of it,” I shrugged. Warmth spread through me when I thought about the four days that went by in a flash. Hitting my head was the least eventful moment.The elevator chimed when it hit my floor, and I waved goodbye to Mindy and Cam as they headed to Gary’s offices. I flinched, worry filling me for the possibility of running into Gary, or worse, if Mack interacted with him. I didn’t have faith that Mack wouldn’t be ab

MackSitting at my desk, I immediately worried that I’d gone too far with Kelsey just now. She was grinning and happy, but the kiss on the cheek in front of Ms. Carmichael might have been too much. I couldn’t help it, touching her and kissing her was becoming an instinct, and it just happened. Surely she’d give me the cold shoulder if she were unhappy with my display of affection.I tossed the thumb drive on my desk. Was she looking for a reason to see me, and that’s why she brought it down? It was an odd way of flirting, but I loved her sense of humor.The next hour, I kept to the project I had been working on, but kept getting distracted, worried Kelsey was upset. Unable to stop myself, I grabbed my phone and sent her a message. I settled for a straightforward question.Are you mad I kissed you in front of Ms. Carmichael?Kelsey Neely: Cheek kisses are allowed.I sighed in relief. I couldn’t help myself.Kesl

KelseyThe past three days had flown by, and for as exhausted as I was, Mack and I still had time to get lost in each other every night before falling asleep in each other’s arms. We managed to stick to our routines like we said we would, but the limited time we normally used to wind down on our own, was spent together, and I could seriously get used to being by his side for the rest of my life.Mindy was sitting in my office, patiently waiting for me to finish up and head to Shamrock’s with her. I’d been looking forward to the event, gearing myself up for it being Mack and my official, out and in the open, work function. Besides Stephanie Carmichael, we’d managed to avoid any display of affection. It wasn’t because I didn’t want to, but because the chance never came about.“Did you convince Craft to come?” Mindy asked while playing on her phone. “Cody thinks he’ll bail.”Standing fro

Cam nudged me while Stephanie was talking about her third memory box. “Are you really seeing someone? Or did you just say that to avoid me again? Because, I’m perfectly fine being friends, Kelsey.”I nudged him back. “I’m not lying, I really am in a serious relationship.”Timothy was across from us with Ashley, who had been listening with a doughy eye to Stephanie’s story, keeping her arm linked with Timothy’s. Apparently, they were together now. She tilted her head over to Timothy and muttered, “I can’t believe she’s this happy while working for Craft.” Ashley saw that I was watching her, then gave me a wink. She was under the impression that her and I had the same feelings toward Mack.After she winked and snickered, her eyes went wide as if she’d seen a ghost. She hunched down toward Timothy, her eyes darkening. “What the hell is he doing here?”We all turned, and m

MackThe Cleveland airport was packed with holiday travelers, and I was glad I added pre-check to our first-class tickets. Kelsey didn’t know I’d upgraded our seats until she downloaded the airline app and I transferred her ticket.“There’s no reason for us to fly first class,” she scolded, crossing her legs while we sat in the wide leather seats of our gate. “The flight isn’t that long.”I shrugged. “So, I splurged for your Christmas present.”She shot me a glare. “Right. I would have dressed differently.” She pointed to my pants. “I should have known when you put on chinos and a button up instead of jeans and a t-shirt.”Leaning toward her, I grabbed her thigh. “You know I don’t like to fly wearing casual clothing.”“But it’s okay for me to fly with leggings and an oversized sweater? I’m glad I decided on my cute boots instea

Kelsey put her arm around Talon, then looked back at the house, concern etching her face. “Where’s Dad?”Simon’s eyes rolled dramatically. “He had to go to a jobsite. Some idiot didn’t read the floor plan correctly, got your father in a real mood last night. He’ll be home soon. Come on inside!” Simon waved for us to follow him. “Talon, help them with their suitcases.”“Go ahead, Talon and I can handle the bags,” I told Kelsey, opening the trunk of the rental car and grabbing our carry-ons, handing one to Talon.“You’re going to have to stay in the basement,” Talon said evenly. “I hope you brought warm pajamas.”“Thanks for the heads up,” I said, following him inside.“I’m in the middle of dinner. Kelsey, I figured you’d be more comfortable downstairs together versus in your bedroom?” Simon said, making his way to a l

The telltale sound of his zipper sent a shiver down my back. He blew air through his nose, and I knew he was stroking himself. I wanted to spin around and help him, but he kept a firm hand on my hip, then skidded it to the front of my thigh, urging me to sit back on him. Both his arms stabilized me now, steadying me while I hovered over his shaft.The tip of his cock brushed against my clit and I shifted backward, engulfing his length between my folds. I found a rhythm that rubbed the sensitive bud perfectly.“That’s it baby, move how you like,” he murmured, keeping himself from driving into me, but encouraged the gyration of my hips with his palms.My hands were set on his desk, leaning as far forward as I could, giving me the leverage I needed to keep a steady pace.He groaned, palming my belly. I covered his hand, feeling a bond between the four of us. If I were out of the moment or trying to explain it to someone, they wouldn’t get it,

Seven Months LaterKelsey“Mrs. Craft, you’re glowing today!” Ms. Carmichael greeted, standing from her seat. She paced around her desk, taking me in from head to toe.I hadn’t been in the office in over a month due to the doctor’s orders. After our dash of a wedding with only a handful of people in attendance, bedrest was requested, and sitting around the apartment was causing me to go stir crazy.Ms. Carmichael crinkled her nose. “Does Mr. Craft know you’re coming to visit?”Holding up a container, I said, “No, I thought I’d bring him some lunch.” She chewed on her bottom lip, and I laughed. “Don’t worry, if he’s grumpy it’ll be geared towards me, not you.”She laughed, but the tension around her eyes proved she was timid toward calling him. I’d help with that. His eight months pregnant wife could interrupt his work.When I came in, the

MackThe day I had been planning for the past month was finally here, and although it didn’t go into motion until a month ago, I had imagined it happening since November. I’d dropped a pretty penny to make my vision become a reality, and with the help of Portia and my mother, Kelsey would be in awe and left speechless, and hopefully even more full of joy than she already was.I buttoned my light blue dress shirt while I stared at my sun kissed face in the mirror, still wondering if the past year had been a dream. It was on this day a year ago that I took the chance and closed the space between us in my office, opening a whole new world that neither of us expected to unravel. I was still just as hungry for her now as I was then, but now, I couldn’t live without her, and I was ready to take the final step to becoming fully committed.Kelsey came behind me, wrapping her arms around my waist and resting his head between my shoulder blades. &ldquo

One Month LaterKelseyI inhaled the fresh salty air, basking in the warm sun I’d desperately longed for. Winter in Ohio was rough, and when Mack surprised me with tickets to a resort in the Florida Keys, I was ecstatic.My skin was smooth and hungry for the rays while I laid on the cozy outdoor lounger next to our private pool that overlooked the beach. Mack had jumped in the pool to cool off, and I was enjoying the view of his defined shoulder blades and biceps while he swam.I’d been exhausted the past three months, and found a new bundle of energy when he’d given me the airline ticket. I was going to take advantage of our alone time, and the pulse that awakened between my legs was going to make up for all the nights I’d fallen asleep before getting lost in him.Mack never complained, if anything, he was coddling me, and I was eager to take care of him, and soon. He climbed out of the pool, his forearms flexing alon

Small sized single showers weren’t intimidating to Mack Craft when he wanted sexy time together. You’d think I’d be gun shy when it came to shower sex considering I slipped and gauged my head the last time we messed around, but I was more than ready to have his hands on me. The close proximity made our time together all the more better.We crawled into bed after our thorough shower, Mack in sweats and me in one of his t-shirts, the heavy, Aztek designed quilt covering us both. Mack pulled me to his chest and tangled our legs together.He ran his fingers through my damn hair, taking turns between stroking and massaging. A softness was laced with his gaze, his brows relaxed as his eyes took me in. “Tell me about your day with my dad,” I asked him, wondering if the time he spent with him was partly why his temperament was easy.“It was eye-opening and much needed. I didn’t realize the reservations were so poverty stricken.&

She met my grin, and did as I asked, rolling to her side as I climbed off her, then continued unpacking.Kelsey must have been tired because her breathing had changed within minutes of closing her eyes. I loved watching her sleep. Something about her relaxed state was soothing and brought me comfort knowing she felt safe and cared for to sleep soundly.***Lunch with my mother came in what felt like the snap of my fingers, and I found myself sitting in my car giving myself a pep talk before joining her at her favorite restaurant. Normally we’d sit outside, but the weather was bitter cold and snow was still on the ground.“Don’t overthink this,” I murmured to myself, my hands sliding around the steering wheel. Taking another deep breath, I shut off the car and headed into the café.She was sitting at a table when I arrived, her back to me. Her dark hair was tied back into it’s perfect bun, her j

“Has Kelsey been hunting with you?” I asked as we sat on logs near the lake. Amos had started a fire and had butchered parts of the elk. I wasn’t expecting him to pull out cooking utensils and seasons from his backpack, prepared to roast whatever animal we’d come across for dinner.He took a long drag of his cigarette before answer. “No, she hasn’t. I wish I had taught her, but it’s not my people’s way. Hunting is meant for the man, not the woman. I know that’s a stereotype the world doesn’t like to hear, but it’s our culture, and if our people don’t like it, they don’t have to do it. We don’t hold our own kind hostage.”I rested my elbows on my knees. “You don’t like that she has a career and lives in the city, do you?”Amos kept his eyes on the flames, watching the piece of meat cook. “I wish she were closer to home. I’m glad she’s foun

I found myself getting into Talon’s basketball game. He was pretty athletic, and ran the court with assertiveness. I wasn’t surprised, the kid had a strong disposition, and leadership would be in his future if he kept it up.Carsyn sat on Kelsey’s lap for most of the game, talking her ear off until she gave him her phone to play with. I didn’t mind that he was chatty, he didn’t require answers from me or Amos, so we were able to focus on the game. Amos was more interested than I would have predicted, and even cheered for his boy. Simon was on the end of the bench as one of the assistant coaches, the one who made sure they were all hydrated and encouraged.“You’ll have fun,” Kelsey said while Simon mingled with some of the other parents just outside of the gym in the parking lot, and Amos gave Talon his fatherly recap of the basketball game. “My dad is a big teddy bear.”I touched her cheek. “I&rsq

“Sorry I passed out last night,” Kelsey said when I emerged from the bathroom. I’d woken up a few hours earlier, unable to fall back asleep, so I plugged in my computer and ran through some emails while she continued to sleep. As badly as I wanted to wake her for a shower, she needed her rest.“I was tired too,” I admitted. My eyes closed nearly as fast as hers did.I’d woken up when she had her first round of morning sickness, but didn’t want her to realize I’d heard her. I knew she felt awkward when I’d try to comfort her, and I also knew if I started to move around, she wouldn’t be able to fall back asleep. She needed to rest more now that she was growing two babies.She stood from the bed and stretched, her hips showing when her arms rose into the air. She’d thrown on one of my white undershirts, and like normal, her nipples were poking against the thin fabric to say good morning. Reaching out
