My Single Daddy Alpha Chapter 36
Noah was more than eager to spend more time at the carnival with his Uncle Travis, Lana, and Paulette. I could vaguely hear Travis asking Bratt if I was okay, and Bratt, thankfully, kept his answer vague enough that I didn’t have to feel too embarrassed about my outburst and by my fleeing.When that was handled, Bratt held me close and walked me back to his car. He made sure I was situated safely in the passenger seat before rounding the car to get in the driver’s seat. Before long, we were on our way to his house.When we were a few minutes away from his house, a question popped into my mind and nagged at me until I had no choice but to ask.“Bratt, did Wyatt ever ask about me?”Bratt’s jaw worked for a moment. He kept his eyes on the road as he spoke. “Not outright, but he had his way of getting information out of me when we met up. Marley, I didn’t even tell him your name. I promise you.”I nodded, trying to unravel the mysteries surrounding my life.“Do you think he’s serious abou

Bratt.My weekend was euphoric, filled with love, laughs, and amazing sex.Really amazing sex.Marley was an active and generous lover, taking an interest in what I liked and what I didn’t care for. Though, that second list was growing shorter and shorter by the day. I was starting to realize that many of the things I thought I disliked were only because of Olivia’s piss-poor attitude when it came to pleasing me.I derived a good portion of my enjoyment of sex from making it good for my partner, so it had never been a deal breaker when Olivia wanted to be a pillow princess—but I’d vastly underestimated the enjoyment of sex with a partner who cared about my experience as much as I cared about hers.I woke on Sunday tangled in Marley’s perfect, naked body. I didn’t move, simply admiring her until she woke.She couldn’t stay long, citing the need to go to Paulette’s house to work on lesson plans and make calls regarding a field trip to the library at the end of the next week. She seemed

The problem with only feeling safe when Bratt was nearby meant that ninety percent of my life was still woefully devoid of him.I’d spent the week looking over my shoulder. I’d thought the comfort and intimacy I’d shared with Bratt would be enough to make me feel invincible against Wyatt. But the more time I spent away from Bratt, the less I was able to calm myself down.I had been jumpy all week. Whatever time I didn’t spend trying to control my urge to text and call Bratt every waking moment, I spent examining every shadow in the corner of my eye and checking all my locks too many times to count.Part of me wanted to ask Bratt if I could stay at his place again, if for nothing else but to get a good night’s sleep. But things were still so new, and I didn’t want to confuse Noah and risk him telling the other children at school about his dad and the teacher being boyfriend and girlfriend. Not only that, but part of me feared that coming on too strong too fast would make it so that he

“You all right?” Travis asked me as we drove over to the new office building. There wasn’t much left to do by way of demolition, so I was bringing Travis in to go over the budget for the infrastructure in the office: hardwood floors, cabinetry, swatches—stuff like that.“I’m fine,” I said. “Just been a stressful couple of weeks.”“Yeah, no kidding,” Travis said. “What even happened that night at the carnival? Lana and Paulette seemed to know something, but they wouldn’t tell me.”“It’s Marley’s business, and I don’t want to divulge information she might not be ready to share,” I said.“Fair enough,” Travis said as he pulled down the road our new building was on. “I wasn’t trying to pry.”“Nah, I know. How are things going with Lana?” I asked, trying my best to change the subject. “Did you pass quality control?”“I think so?” He sighed. “To be entirely honest, Lana’s kinda tough. Like I’m not trying to get into her pencil skirt or anything, but she treats me like I am all the time. Som

Noah was going to be okay. They found him, and they were bringing him back. I still had a reckoning coming my way for letting two children wander away, but thank God, they were both okay. I didn’t know if I could ever have forgiven myself if something had happened to them—not just because of Bratt or Hannah’s parents, but because I would have failed at the fundamental responsibility I had as a teacher: protecting the children.The tears streaming down my face wouldn’t stop, though. I’d failed by even letting kids wander away like this. I’d gotten lucky they didn’t go far. I’d gotten lucky that they walked into a police station instead of somewhere awful, but the fact remained that they’d walked away in the first place, and that was wholly on me.I heard the door open behind me and looked over my shoulder at Bratt.Guilt gnawed at my intestines. I thought I might vomit. I looked away from him to hide how ashamed I was of myself.He sat down next to me and heaved a long, tired sigh.“Ma

BrattI took Noah directly home after we talked things out with the police and faculty at the library. My rage had ebbed pretty quickly once I was holding Noah in my arms, but I knew I’d have to deal with some emotional fallout later.I needed to switch Noah over to another class, both for his sake and Marley’s. I didn’t want her to have to see me every day while we were both nursing broken hearts. I didn’t want to deprive Noah of having his dad drop him off at school, either.I considered that we might be better off getting a homeschool instructor for him and structuring a play-date schedule of some kind for him to help him get his socialization in.When we got home, I talked to Noah about the changes that would be coming down the turnpike for him—for us.“Listen, buddy,” I said to him as he munched on dino nuggets. “Marley won’t be coming over for a while after today, okay?”He stopped mid-bite and put his nugget down on the plate, his head tilting to the side like a confused puppy.

“To men being absolute babies!” Paulette said as she lifted her fourth glass of wine.“To parents who think we’re all incompetent assholes,” Lana said dryly as she raised her own.“To TSA agents that take your two-hundred-dollar skin-care product and toss it in the fucking garbage,” Jack chimed in.I giggled at all of their lamenting toasts as I lifted my own glass, my face flushed from the alcohol. I was finally starting to feel a little better. I didn’t want to bury myself in the ground and become a tree anymore.“To friends who don’t let you wallow in self-pity,” I said before clinking my glass with all of theirs.We all drank, and as Lana took her glass away from her mouth, she pointed a finger at me. “You cheated—we were toasting complaints.”“Sorry, I’m having a hard time finding my sour mood now that Jack is here,” I said. “Also, I’m pretty wine drunk, so if you want me to sulk, you’re going to have to put some food in me.”“Fuck, I keep forgetting to order the pizza,” Paulette

BrattThe week went from bad to worse. If it wasn’t the fight with Travis, it was little fires going on with my clients. If it wasn’t that, it was Noah giving me a silent treatment his biological mother would be proud of. If it wasn’t Noah’s silent treatment, it was the nagging feeling that I was missing something.I couldn’t tell if it was the general feeling of missing Marley or if I was just feeling off-kilter because my kid refused to talk to me. But I had the nagging feeling in the back of my mind that there was something I was forgetting or not understanding.I’d had similar feelings before when I was with Noah’s mother. Feelings I’d ignored because I was so smitten with her. But they ceased as soon as we broke up, and she left our lives in a more permanent fashion. This was the opposite. The longer I was away from Marley, the more confused and agitated I felt.I stayed stuck in this muck of my own making until a few days after the incident at the library.Sylvia had just gone d

CILLIAN “You sure you wanna be doing this?” AP asked as he snuffed out the cigar in the ashtray. “I mean, this is kind of permanent.” “It’s already set in stone for me, AP,” I said as I chuckled at his disgruntled expression. “But marriage? Isn’t it enough that you two marked each other? Why you gotta go and get all traditional? Oh, wait, never mind. That’s just who you are.” “What’s the matter, AP? You don’t like my sister?” Aiden asked as he stood before the mirror, fumbling with his bow tie. “You all know what she did to me in tenth grade,” AP grumbled. I laughed. “Still can’t get over the fact that she kicked your ass, huh?” I laughed. “Ciara didn’t kick my ass,” AP insisted. “She cheated. There’s no way a girl of her size could fit that many pies in her little stomach. Losing that contest ruined everything for me.” “Didn’t you end up with Malia a few months ago?” I asked as I stared at myself in the full-length mirror. “Yeah, but I’m not one to settle. Everyone knows tha

“This is nice, isn’t?” Laya asked as we waited outside the Picasso. I couldn’t help but smile as Laya looked over the menu posted on the wall. “Really, when was the last time we got to do this with just us girls? It seems like we’re always stuck with one of the guys, you know?” “Never,” Sam said as she checked her watch. “Do we know when Melody and Kenzie are going to get here? I’m starving,” I said as my stomach started to grumble. “Kenzie said she’d be here around six thirty the last time I talked with her,” Sam said. “Isn’t that them over there?” Daisy asked. I turned my attention toward the walkway and smiled as Kenzie and Melody stepped off the escalator. “Hey!” Melody shouted as she rushed through the crowd. “What took you so long?” Laya asked as Kenzie threw her arm around my neck and gave me a tight hug. “Traffic,” Melody answered. “But damn, this place is nice.” “Wait five minutes and the Bellagio fountains will start,” I said as I released Kenzie to hug Melody. “I’m

CILLIAN “Holden,” I snapped. “Yeah, I heard,” Holden said as he scrambled to disconnect from the system. I pulled him away from the system and shoved him toward the door. We did not need to get arrested for trespassing. “AP, Laya! Torque, Hatchett!” I called over my shoulder, hoping they heard me. I spotted AP and Laya rushing around from the back of the house. Their shadows bobbed through the broken windows. “We’re right behind you,” Torque called. I took a moment to glance over my shoulder and take one last look at the destruction. Everything was so surreal. It was as if the place had been in a war zone. The stench of death lingered in the air, but I knew it had nothing to do with the Corpse Lily. I was smelling what remained of Colleen and Tippy. “Pick up the pace,” Torque snapped as he rushed by me with Hatchett on his heels. We made it outside, and I glanced to the west. The clouds of dust coming off the tires grew as my heart drummed violently in my chest. “Take the back

Igasped and shot up. The room was pitch black, and my heart pounded fiercely in my chest. “Hey, you okay?” Cillian asked as he shot up and rubbed the sleep from his eyes. Relief came over me when I realized I wasn’t dreaming anymore. I was safe and all was well. “Yeah,” I said. “Just a strange dream.” “Come here,” Cillian said as he lay back down. “Come sleep on me. I promise I’ll protect you from those bad dreams.” A smile drifted over my lips as I scooted down into the nook of his arm. He was so warm and comforting, it amazed me that he could banish the bad thoughts in my mind so easily. “What did you dream about? Or do you not want to tell me?” Cillian asked as he played with the tips of my hair. “It was weird. I was back at the sacred oak tree, and it looked sick, like it was dying.” “That’s not a good sign,” Cillian whispered. “But then the red fog came through and I was rescued by Preacher in a chopper.” “What, I don’t get a cameo in your dreams?” Cillian teased as he h

CILLIAN The gentle knock on the hotel door roused me from my sleep. Pins and needles plagued the arm Ciara was sleeping on. Carefully, I slipped my arm out from under Ciara’s head and nudged her to the pillow. It had been more than a rough night, and I couldn’t bear the thought of having the maid wake her. Slipping the sheets off me, I let my legs fall over the edge of the bed. Ever so slightly, I got up, keeping one eye on Ciara and praying she wouldn’t wake. As quickly as I could, I moved to the door and peeked through the crack. “Housekeeping,” the woman said. “We’re good,” I answered. Before she could say another word, I closed the door and exhaled. Ciara stirred, and I held my breath, hoping she wouldn’t wake up. She had been through so much; I just wanted her to get some sleep. “Cillian?” Ciara’s voice was tired and muffled. For a moment, I wondered if she were asleep or awake. Tiptoeing to her, I craned my neck to spy on her as she slept. A sensation of peace washed over m

Cillian growled in my ear, drowning out the clinking and clanging as we moved through the casino. It was amazing that we got anywhere at all with the way he refused to let me go. Every fifth step, I found myself caving to Cillian’s needs. “What if I took you right here and now?” His lips brushed against my neck as he spoke. My skin tingled as his hot breath caressed my skin. “You just want the hot waitress to watch us, don’t you?” I asked as Cillian pinned my arm over my head and kissed me. “No,” he growled and pinned my arm against the slot machine. The old woman playing at the machine gasped as she sent us a disapproving look. I flashed her a smile, wondering if she had ever experienced the kind of passion I had. “You’re the only one I need,” Cillian said. “The only woman who could ever sate me. Don’t you know that it’s only ever been you?” With my free hand, I grabbed his hair and jerked his head back. A small whimper escaped his lips, and it pleased me to hear his soft seduct

CILLIAN “Are we ready?” I asked as I walked into the Las Lobos Cantina where Torque and Blue were chilling at the bar. It seemed as if they didn’t have a care in the world. Of course, I knew where they stood when it came to Colleen’s safety, but I’d figured they’d be more excited now that we were so close to finally getting rid of the Raze. “Easy there, tiger,” Torque said as he patted the empty chair next to him. “Have a drink. We can’t do anything until we get word from Hatchett. He’s doing recon for us and will be back any minute.” I exhaled sharply, trying to ignore the itching in my limbs. It seemed as if a storm was coming with how much electricity was coursing through my veins. Sitting around and waiting had never been my strong suit. Frustration bubbled and brewed within me, but I wasn’t on my turf anymore; I couldn’t call the shots. “Fine, I’ll have a drink,” I conceded and marched over to join Blue and Torque. “What’s your poison?” the woman behind the bar asked. I tilt

Ilet out a heavy sigh as I stepped into my old office. It seemed as if it been forever since I was last here, yet everything was exactly as I remembered it. There were papers stacked on the desk that I hadn’t looked at in months, and a thin layer of dust covered the bookshelves. I moved around the office, reminiscing about all the things I had collected here. My heart drummed in my chest as I caught a glimpse of the picture I had of Cyrus. The pain nearly crippled me as I plucked the picture off my desk and stared at it. It was like it was another life. Everything from who I dated to what I did had changed. I was no longer Sia—that girl had died the second I decided to go back to Moon Valley. I just hadn’t realized it until this very moment. I moved around the desk and sat down. Running my fingers over the mahogany wood, I couldn’t help but think of all the times I had given orders here. How many lives had been saved because I had created this company? It was a noble cause, and some
My Single Daddy Alpha Chapter 104
CILLIAN The tension in my shoulders that had only just vanished returned in an instant, bringing with it a hellish headache. Just when I thought we were in the clear… I should have known something was going to happen. The echo in my bones rattled my consciousness. Ciara and I couldn’t get a moment’s respite. “What’s going on, Sam?” I asked into the walkie. “It’d be best if you came to the Crescent Falls Motel,” Sam said in a grave voice. “We’ll be there in five,” I answered and clicked the button three times before setting it down. “Well? How do you feel about checking this out?” All the color had drained out of Ciara’s face. The worry etched on her brow filled me with a murderous rage, but it was the devastation in her gaze that really ripped me to shreds. “I promised Colleen nothing would happen to her. I put her in the most secure room we have,” Ciara said. “How did this happen?” “The only way to get answers to that question is by going to the motel,” I answered as I grabbe
