I laid in bed for fifteen minutes before deciding to go to Shamrocks. A drink with Cody might help calm my thoughts. Cody had an easy way of solving problems, and although his first instinct was to flee or disregard serious decisions, sometimes I wish I could decipher my thoughts as easily as him.
Putting on jeans and a Guardian’s T-shirt, I grabbed my jacket and headed for my car. I debated calling Kelsey on my way to the bar, but her stubbornness was driving me crazy, and I’d most likely put my foot in my mouth for the umpteenth time.The bar was quiet for a Saturday night, and the moment I opened the front door, my body stiffened. There she was, my sexy little vixen, sitting with Mindy at the bar top, holding a glass half full of clear liquid. Was she drowning in her sorrows over me? Did she ache to be reunited as badly as I did?Without thinking, I paced toward her, keeping both hands in my jacket pockets. If I didn’t find a spot forRelated chapters

KelseyMack hadn’t texted me since walking out on me at Shamrocks almost two weeks ago. He was cryptic with his words, and I didn’t know how to take his interaction. After he left, I couldn’t help but wonder if he thought I was the one who should be apologizing.I found myself constantly checking my phone throughout the week, curious why he hadn’t sent me anything crude as an icebreaker like he always did.I’d be damned if I texted him first. He was in the wrong, not me. Yet, I was losing sleep over the agony of not knowing what was going through his mind.“What’s up with you?” Mindy asked, bringing me my favorite coffee. It was Friday morning, and I was itching for one-thirty to strike the clock. That would be when I’d get to see Mack, and maybe he’d apologize for being such a douche.“I’m just tired.”She nodded her head. “Tell me about it. Christma

I wasn’t going to go to his office. I was going to stand him up, that is, until the time got closer, and lunch dragged on as if time had stopped to draw out my anger. He was infuriating, acting as though he were God’s gift to women one minute, then as if he were God’s gift to me.Two could play at that game, and for the last twenty minutes of my lunch break, I ran to the department store down the street, purchasing something that he wouldn’t be able to resist, then I’d deny the son-of-a-bitch.Teach him to be a dick to me again, I thought, storming to his office. I wasn’t even going to wait patiently while Ms. Carmicheal sat anxiously by the phone, waiting for him to bark orders at her. No, I was going to fly into that office and be the vixen that drove Mackenzie Craft insane.To my surprise, when I got there, his assistant wasn’t at her desk. I laughed under my breath. I knew she’d quit sooner than later.But

His hips pressed on, and stilled, his cock jolting as it expelled his orgasm.Did he just come before me?I wiggled my hips furiously, chasing for my own release, but he pulled out as quickly as he shoved himself inside of me.My jaw was locked open, my chest heaving in bewilderment. I craned my head over my shoulder. “Are you serious?”His chest was rising and falling in attempts to calm his breathing while he fastened his belt. He met my eyes and shrugged. “Sorry.”“Sorry?” I wanted to scream at him. Scrambling from the table, I got into his face, breasts half hanging out of my corset. “Are you fucking kidding me? Really? You’re going to play games like that?”He fiddled with the cuffs on his sleeves. “What? Isn’t that what your plan was when you walked through that door?”I sucked on the insides of my cheeks. Shit. “No.”He raised an eyebrow in my dire

MACKI’d never felt so lonely on a Saturday night. Normally I’d emerge myself in my work, but I couldn’t focus on anything. Visions of Kelsey kept running through my mind, distracting me from everything, even my first priority in life—work.If Kelsey were taking over my thoughts over making money and being successful, it only proved she meant more to me than I’d realized, and I was screwed if we were really going to throw in the towel on becoming more.I’d doubled my time at the gym this morning, and the ache in my legs and arms should have helped distract my brain, but it’d only soured my mood. I couldn’t even call Ronnie, my kickboxing trainer, to book a session because he was out of town for the holidays.I was desperate for a diversion from my never-ending thoughts, and found myself driving around in my car and landing at a mall just outside of the city, walking through the echoey space amongst the

Gary came into the kitchen, setting down a bag, pulling out a pack of garlic bread and a container with a chocolate dessert. “Do you know where your mom keeps the sheet pans?”I shrugged, running my finger along the rim of my glass. “Guess is as good as mine.”He smiled then rummaged through her drawers until he found one.My mother came back in a rush, but this time her robe was gone, and she was dressed in slacks and a button-up shirt. “Thanks for bringing the garlic bread.” She opened a cupboard and pulled out a plate then walked toward me, her eyes meeting mine. “Mack, you’re planning to stay and eat, right?”Her eyes were big, almost pleading.I nodded. “Yeah, if I’m not intruding.”“Not at all,” Gary said easily, leaning against the countertop. “The more the merrier. Bring a girl next time,” he winked.My jaw clenched, knowing he was re

I held in my frown, knowing she was referring to Cody. Why did I relate so much with Cody? I wasn’t a carefree, blow with the wind, kind of person. I liked structure and very few bumps in the road. My personality was perfect for a long term relationship, which is basically what Mack and I had, minus our peers knowing.“Do you want kids?” Mindy asked after opening the door to leave the mall. “You seem like the type that would love being a mom.”A smile slipped across my lips. “I always imagined myself with kids. Someday it’ll happen.”Mindy sighed dramatically. “Just waiting for our Prince Charming’s to sweep us off our feet.” She wiggled her eyes at me when we reached her car. “Well, my Prince Charming will spread my legs before he sweeps me off my feet.”I nearly snorted at her admission, then a vision of Mack holding me in his arms flooded my brain. Was he my Prince Charming? He was t

MackThree weeks had gone by, and Christmas was five days away. I might as well have been the Grinch, because I was cranky and frustrated every day with the absence of Kelsey. I wanted her desperately, but at the same time, I was sick of the games. I had only put my heart out there for one woman, and she wasn’t willing to meet me halfway. Hell, she hadn’t even bothered to reach out to me and compromise.Okay, so we had discussed what our relationship was, but we needed to redraft the stipulations. I was sick of throwing my heart out there for her to stomp on and disregard.My phone rang, and it was my mother. Seeing her spend time with Gary while he and Portia were in a funk was unsettling, and a whole other can of worms I wasn’t ready to open.“Hey, mom. Everything alright?”“I’d be better if every time I called, you didn’t assume something tragic has happened to me.”I smiled. “Sorry.

KelseyMy stomach had been in knots ever since he left me in the stairwell three weeks ago. I’d contemplated what had happened and the words that were said between us, and I couldn’t bring myself to let go of my pride and apologize for getting so upset. I understood why he’d flown off the handle, I really did, but I was still afraid of the label that would be stamped on my back if the world found out I was exclusive with Mackenzie Craft, the owner of the company.By his lack of attempts to make amends, I figured he was doing just fine without me, even though I was miserable on the inside.“I brought coffee!” Mindy greeted. “No bagels today. I finally got that red dress to zip last night, you know, the one I bought for the Christmas party?”I gave her a smile, but my lip wouldn’t stop from quivering. I’d been dreading this evening for the past week. I wasn’t in the mood to get dressed up and

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
