To be trusted is a greater compliment than being loved. – George MacDonald

Reese had worked late at Dean’s List last night and had gone back to bed after having breakfast with Helen. Yesterday had been the last day of classes at the local college and the bar in the old university library was packed. Now, at ten thirty in the morning, he was making himself a cup of coffee. As the single serve maker brewed him a cup, he scrolled through messages on his phone.

The water slowed to a trickle before stopping completely. Pocketing his phone, he threw away the pod and grabbed his cup. Walking down the hall, he paused only briefly when he realized that his office door wasn’t completely closed like usual.

He didn’t expect Helen or either of the kids to be participating in corporate espionage. In fact, the thought made him chuckle. Sipping his coffee, he sat behind the desk and discovered why Helen had been a little nervous this morning.

In the center of his desk sat the leather-bound red folder

    The biggest rewards in life are found outside your comfort zone. – Jack CanfieldHelen was a little nervous as Reese unlocked the playroom. The last time that she was in here, she had bolted. As if he could sense her nervousness, he kissed the top of her head.“We’re not going to play in the playroom tonight.” He whispered.“Then what…?” she asked as they entered the room and he shut the door behind them, securing the lock.Grinning at her, he leaned down and kissed her. “We’re going to take a shower.”“There’s a shower in our bathroom.” She pointed out as they walked to the bathroom.“Not like this one.” He said huskily as he flipped on the lights inside the bathroom and closed the door. Using the digital control panel, he set the lights down low and turned on some music playing lightly in the background.“Come here, Kitten.” Reese ordered softly.Nervously, she stepped up to him. “Yes, Sir?” she asked looking up at him.“First, when we play, you will never look at me in the eyes unl

    You can’t go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending. – C. S. LewisGina sat behind her desk in the office behind the bullpen of her deputies. She was nursing her third, possibly her fourth, cup of coffee. She always left a little coffee at the bottom of her cup, that way, technically, it was still her first cup. It would get topped off, but never refilled. Her logic had gotten her through more extended shifts than she could count and did not make her feel guilty when she told her doctor she only had one cup of coffee a day.The large window looking out into the bullpen had holiday cards from local businesses, schools and families surrounding it. A long folding table was set in front and covered with sweets and treats from the community. Gina did not have any delusions of being a better sheriff than her predecessor. But she did have a better relationship with the county.When the elementary schools had invited her deputies to their holiday

    Sometimes the littlest things take up the most room in your heart. – Winnie the PoohThe first thing Monday morning after she and Reese first had sex, Helen called her OB/GYN and asked for the first available appointment. That was not until December twenty-third. She had told him that she had an appointment and he asked if she wanted him there.Blushing everywhere that he could see, and he could see a lot of her, she shook her head no. Now, as she walked into Jolene’s room, she wished he had gone. Helen smiled at the two guards that were at the door of her daughter’s room.“Is everything okay?” Helen asked as they both stood up.Nichols smiled at her. “Yes, ma’am, Miss Helen. The family is in there and we were just giving some privacy.”“Oh, thank you.” She said placing her hand on the handle.“Miss Helen,” Nichols said nervously. “I want to apologize.”Turning towards him, she looked at him, confused. “For what?” She was already emotional and was afraid that she would start crying.“

    You don’t choose your family. They are God’s gift to you, as you are to them. – Desmond TutuThe ornate grandfather clock from England chimed the midnight hour in the formal living room. Or as Dean called it, the special guest living room. Other than a few special occasions, she couldn’t think of a time that they had used that room. Unlike Reese’s house, this one was two levels. The top floor was the more formal part of the house. It had formal dining and living rooms, chef’s kitchen, billiards and game room, a mother-in-law suite and a media room. All precisely decorated and rarely used. From the front, it looked like a single-story house with the second story being built inside the hill. The lower level was where they lived. Except for the large deck that extended the length and about half the width of the lower level. Whenever they had a princess party, it was typically on the deck. The perpetually decorated deck was large, mostly covered and looked over the pool. The heated poo

Other nights, they were sweet, or amusing. After the first few nights of carefully curated smut scenes, he chose a book, and they would read a few chapters each night.They were on book three of a series of five tonight and she was having a hard time concentrating. The light touch of his calloused hands under her shirt did not help her concentration.

The one with low cushioned tables and pillows on the floor.The lights were up during the day, but for meals, they would be lowered. Lights would shine out from inside the tables, illuminating the sub on display. There were cushions that could be moved to accommodate the person on the table. One under the knees, a small one under the lower back and one to support the neck and head.Marnie had told the older woman that she loved the other restaurant. The meals were finger foods that were served on the sub. Helen had looked at the Brat who smiled at her.“On the sub.” Marnie said again. “Steve

JD wrapped his arm around Dean’s waist and pulled her to his side.She wore a knee length black skirt and matching jacket with a white lace shirt underneath. Her hair was pulled up in a tight twist in an effort to keep it contained in the wind. She wore sapphire and silver teardrop earrings that matched her shoes.The leg of JD’s course BDU uniform brushed up against her bare leg as she moved in closer to him. Curling into his chest, she smiled as he pressed a kiss to the top of her head. “Nervous?” he asked quietly.She nodded. “Yes. It’s the biggest thing I’ve ever done for so many people to see.
