Here I stood, dumbfounded, watching this asshole light up a cigarette.He caught me staring, then scowled. “You good, man?”I closed my jaw, my cheeks clenching. “Yeah, I’m good.”Nodding, he turned the opposite way, taking a long drag of his cigarette.My nostrils flared. Was he having an after-sex smoke? There was no fucking way. Instead of approaching him, I charged into the hotel, pacing the main entrance, then found a seat at the bar when I felt the front desk worker’s eyes on me. “Back for another round?” the bartender asked. “Same as last time?”“Whiskey, please. Neat.”The bartender nodded, then went to make my drink.I pulled out my phone, debating on what to do. Why was I so furious? Did she really sleep with that guy? She’d just send me photos of her in lingerie with her tits out. Maybe he was really with M

My eyes opened well before my alarm, my body used to its traditional 5:00AM wakeup. Since there was no point in trying to go back to sleep, I headed to the gym, enjoying the early morning run in solitude. No one ever used these hotel gyms besides me, at least not this early.My phone didn’t have any new messages, and I chalked it up to that kid going back upstairs for more. She probably just fell asleep, Mack, it was late. Stop thinking the worst, my conscious tried to tell me. Besides, I hadn’t responded to her when I told her I would call. Why wouldn’t she send me a message first?I couldn’t believe it, though, I never gave people the benefit of the doubt. That was one of my downfalls when it came to having relationships. Unfortunately, that was because most humans were terrible, and could never be trusted or held accountable for anything worthwhile.I didn’t bother waking Cody for breakfast. He was in his own room, and most likel

KelseySo, the outfits for the parade were warm, and modest, but sexy? Not so much. We wore black leggings with tall black boots, a shimmering gold T-shirt with a heavy green overcoat, the lapels velour, the shoulders too big for our frames. I didn’t mind, the morning air was chilly, and being on the float didn’t hide us from the wind. I had to keep one hand on my top hat to keep it from flying off, while the other waved at all the parade watchers.Mindy was throwing beads and chocolate gold coins, losing her top hat halfway through to the bottom portion of the rainbow float.The end of the parade had rows of beer tents, Irish and non-Irish patrons already celebrating, some probably still celebrating from last night.I never understood how people could drink profusely and still function the next day. I’d drink too much and feel like death for the next two days.Mindy was one of those freak Energizer Bunnies. During colle

MackMy phone buzzed, notifying me that a message came through while I was buttoning my dress shirt. I smirked when I swiped on the text, lifting a brow at the photo. It was of Kelsey, wearing a green, low-cut dress, that tapered to her waist then became flowy to her mid-thighs, black heeled ankle boots on her feet that made her sexy legs pop beautifully. Her hair was curled down her shoulders in the way I loved, and the cleavage she was exposing was just enough to make a man’s imagination run wild.She’d captioned the photo with, wish you were here.Oh, my sweet little vixen, I’ll be there soon, I thought to myself.A knock came on my hotel door, followed by a holler from Cody. “Let me in, loser.”I opened the door to a styled Cody, his typical leather jacket nowhere in sight, but a sharp, black button-up paired with gray dress pants and Penny loafers.Walking back to the floor length mirror, I complimented h

Florance began talking on the microphone, introducing the evening activities and information about the fundraiser for Irish families and students. I was half listening, weaving my way through people as discreetly as possible until I found Cody.“Where have you been?”“Thanking the guy who got us into the party. He’s one of Gary’s friends. Have you seen them?”He frowned. “No, but I haven’t been looking, either. I’m too hungry to focus on anything.”I kept myself from rolling my eyes at him. “Maybe they’re not coming for dinner.”“Maybe they realized this would be boring and bailed.”Now I was frowning. If I didn’t see her here, finding her whereabouts would be next to impossible.“Wait… Over there, is that them?” Cody pointed toward the front stage where Florance was presenting. Just off to the left, there was a row of tabl

We’d skimmed through the items, fancy baskets filled with expensive items and services. Some included weekend stays in vacation homes for thousands of dollars, dinner reservations and five-star restaurants, yacht trips and private flights. I was out of my league with the numbers written down on the sheets of paper.Rich felt the same way, his eyes widening with each item. He’d joked with me as if he were debating on bidding but would shake his head to indicate he was kidding. He did have a good sense of humor; it was what had drawn me to his possible friendship.“What are your plans for after this grand party?” he asked once we were done observing the auction items.“I’m not really sure,” I lied. “We might just head back to the hotel, go to bed early since last night was so late.”He ran his hand through his hair. “Yeah, look, about last night.”I raised a brow, preparing for the u

O’Neill’s was one of the oldest Irish Pubs in Chicago. It was gaudy and tacky and wonderful. The lights were dim and flashy, corny decorations were scattered all over the place. The bar was packed, and I was shocked we made it before they’d reached capacity. Upon our entrance, they were handing out beads and green masks that covered our eyes to the tips of our noses. “For fun,” the promo girl cheered. She was wearing a traditional Irish dress that pleated out by her knees, patterns of Celtics in browns, greens and whites scattered all over it.“This is my scene!” Mindy shouted over the live music. The band had four members, one playing the fiddle, bagpipes, a flute, and a drum. They were older, loud, and very Irish, fitting the setting perfectly with their kilts, red hair, and beards. People were dancing the Jig to their songs, and the spirit of the holiday was evident.Mindy and I went by the bar to grab drinks. The bartender trie

MackShe’d taken his arm when he offered it to her, and my confidence began to dwindle. Did she really have an interest in this moron? He had no business being at a fundraiser amongst the high-class society of Chicago, which meant he was either in denial, or putting himself through agony to impress Kelsey.I’d cautiously followed the two of them toward the silent auction tables, careful to keep a good distance and not to be seen. I needed a visual of her face, to see if she was entertained by his company, or if she was simply being cordial.Kelsey had given me a fair share of scowls, and I had a good inkling on if she was comfortable in situations or not by her expressions. The tables were crowded now that dinner was finishing, the business owners and socialites were either bidding on items, or bragging about what they had donated for the auction. I understood how these people worked, I grew up surrounded by them. Both my mother and father shared the lim

The details of her dress were easier to spot the closer she came. I knew her cleavage was perfect in the dress from the photo, but this view didn’t do it justice. Her hair was curled and flowing down her shoulders the way that drove me crazy, her makeup darker around her eyes than normal. She was exotic, a sexy glow to her skin even though it was near the end of the winter season.I took a sharp breath in anticipation, then finally it happened, she saw me. Her steps were smooth, as if she were gliding toward me, her eyes raking me in from head to toe until we locked gazes. I kept my mouth shut, wanting her to be the first to talk.“What are you doing here?” She said slowly, a bite forming at the beginning of her sentence, but faded into curiosity.I shrugged. “Enjoying the festivities.”She cocked her head, careful with her words. “Is that so?”I nodded. “I had some free time, thought I’d checkout w

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
