I wanted to ask more, but I held my tongue. He didn’t say anything else, but I knew he wouldn’t. Not with Mindy and Cody so close to earshot.“I’m going to get some sun,” I said, shuffling past him to my towel. Miraculously, I managed to keep my hands to myself while I maneuvered around him.Taking a book out of my bag, I laid down on my stomach where I had situated my towel. Opening the book, I began to read. The cushion I was laying on was off the front of the boat, a bar being the only object keeping me from being able to roll into the water.To my surprise, Mack came over and sat on the seat below where I was laying, his chest at the height of my feet. I chuckled while I looked over my shoulder. He had the other book from my bag in his hands. “Help yourself to my things.”He shrugged. “I’ve been meaning to read this one.” I raised a brow at him. It was a book about empowerment in the workforce. “You know that’s from a woman’s perspective, right?” He shrugged. “Even better. Maybe

Setting the food on the kitchen island, we both sat down in view of the television, eating Italian dishes from the local restaurant down the street. “How’d you know I liked fettuccini?” I asked after chewing a mouthful. It was creamy and delicious, the garlic a perfect amount to not overpower the other flavors.“Women always like fettuccini,” he murmured, digging into his plate of lasagna.I wiped my mouth with a napkin. “Says who?”“Every female I’ve ever met.”I rolled my eyes. “It’s not my favorite Italian food,” I sighed dramatically. “It’s better than egg salad, though, right?” he teased.I nudged his arm with my elbow, and he curled his lips into a smile. He always made fun of my egg salad sandwiches. ‘They’re high in protein, okay? Keeps me full longer.”“So is my salty semen.”I nearly spit out my food, and he laughed at my reaction.He was so fun when it was just the two of us. You’d never know how quick witted he was by his grumpy demeanor and arrogant presence in the offi

MackInstead of pacing around my home angrily, I bribed my kickboxing trainer to give me a last-minute late-night session. I was uncontrollably wired and pissed off from Kelsey’s invasive questions. We’d never become inquisitive about our personal lives, never prodded or demanded information, and she was standing too close to a line I wasn’t ready to let her cross.“You know, I was about to put my PJ’s on,” Ronnie, my kickboxing trainer, grumbled after instructing me on a warmup exercise. “I should charge you double.”My frown remained in place while I pounded the speed bag. “There’s still time to negotiate.”He shook his head and grinned. “What’s got you all in a tizzy tonight?”My hands kept moving while I bounced. “I’m not in a tizzy.”He raised his brow while he wrapped tape around his wrists. “The only time any of my clients call me after nine is because they are floored about something and are afraid to go to bed. You don’t have to tell me what it is, but let’s beat your negativ

KelseyI hadn’t communicated with Mack outside of a few lame texts in three days. He was beyond angry with me, or Gary, or who knows what. It would remain a mystery until he was ready to open up about whatever was bothering him.I did feel bad when I got home Monday night. I’d asked a lot of questions before he lost his patience. I practically cornered him about his family, and I knew better than to push him. We both had kept that side of our lives to ourselves, and I needed to respect that. But him being withdrawn the past few days was unsettling. It was Wednesday, and I debated all morning if I should go to his office and apologize in person. A half hour before it was time to leave, I made up my mind and wandered to his floor, finding Ashley on her cellphone in his reception. I furrowed my brows. There’s no way Mack would allow that type of behavior at work. If he caught her, she’d get an earful.She waved at me when I came to the table, saying goodbye to whoever she was talking t

Being Mindy, she had a trendy boutique on her radar for a new bathing suit. I didn’t make a fuss, and was pleasantly surprised with their selection, and their prices weren’t bad, either.“I’m thinking tastefully, sleek, and only a touch sexy,” Mindy sighed, plucking through the rack of swimsuits. “Is a two piece acceptable for a weekend with your boss?”I lifted a brow. “Depends on your coverup. You don’t want to come off as, too much, if you know what I mean.”She nodded, wiggling her nose at one of the swimsuits she pulled out. It was hot pink and had a mesh stripe across the stomach. “I don’t want to ruin my tan lines.”“I’m planning on staying in the shade most of the day.”Mindy scowled. “Must be nice having a permanent tan. I’d kill for your skin tone. My Irish ancestors do not enjoy kisses from the sun.”I checked myself out in

I sighed. He wasn’t wrong, Kelsey was amazing, but I was still flustered by her prodding about my father. “Maybe Mindy is just really good at keeping secrets from you.”Cody laughed. Even I didn’t believe those words coming out of my mouth. “If Mindy knew you and Kelsey still had a relationship, she’d spill. What do you say? We surprise the ladies with our presence tomorrow night? Spend the next day on the water with the lovely Sneed’s speed boat, pontoon boat, jet skis, whatever expensive toys they have.”“They don’t have jet skis anymore,” I said quickly, standing from the couch. My chest began to tighten in the way it had been the past week. I chugged the rest of my drink as if it would bury the restricted feeling.Cody slowly stood, rubbing the back of his neck. “Right. I forgot.” He was quiet for a moment, standing in the living room waiting for me to say something. I only kept my

Gary set both of our bags in the main room. The high ceilings made the space open and inviting, but at the same time, felt cozy and comfortable. The wall facing the lake was pure windows, and adjacent to the windows was a fireplace with similar charcoal bricks to the outside of the house. “Pick a room, and once you’re ready, join us out back on the terrace. It can get a little chilly once the sun goes down, so bring a jacket.”“Thanks, Gary. We’ll see you soon,” Mindy waved as he closed the door, then sent me a bright smile. “How cool is this place?!”“It’s definitely not what I expected,” I grinned back. “But I’m not disappointed.”Mindy giggled and grabbed my arms. “Come on, let’s pick our rooms!”I traveled down one hallway while Mindy went the opposite way to find her own room. I peeked in one room that had bunk beds and a full, themed more for a younger crow

Thankfully, Mindy missed Portia’s wink and snorted. “Are we talking about the same person?”Portia frowned, but empathy was in her eyes. “I know he can be a tough egg,” she held her hand toward me. “Kelsey would know, she was the longest secretary he’d ever had.” Her head turned to me. “You must have seen his nicer side, at some point while you were directly working with him.”I bit my lip, discomfort causing me to fidget in my seat. I had seen the sweet side to Mack, but no one here was supposed to know that. Not wanting to appear overly interested, I picked at my nail. “He has his moments.”“Kelsey always tries to find the good in people,” Mindy grumbled. “She won’t say a bad thing about anyone. I, on the other hand, think he treats his employees like they’re all idiots.”Gary let out a laugh. “That he does. He has high expectations. He’s a gr

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
