“That was a long time ago and you did very well as I recall,” Sandra said with a wide grin. “But there’s nothing to worry about. I forgot my iPod.”“Whoa, hold up,” Andrew added with a smile. “I want to hear all about this dance. Did you videotape it? Can I get a copy? Can we put it on YouTube?”“Shut up smart arse,” Creighton growled, tossing a pillow from the end of the sofa at his brother who caught it easily. “There will be no embarrassing videos, and no betting. And for the record, I got even with her.”“Yes, you did,” Sandra said standing up off her husband’s lap. “In many very perverse ways, if memory serves.”“This could be interesting,” Andrew said. “Care to make a private wager?” he asked turning to Cathy who smiled a wicked grin back at him.“My little sister is not the only card player in the family,” she assured him, walking to the table followed by Creighton, Derek and Irena. “One wager could prove quite dangerous for you.”“Bring it on, darling,” Andrew smiled as he sto

“You will explain to Kristin why I’m poor by the time I return to the room, right?” Derek asked, causing the group to laugh again.“No real money, remember?” Creighton asked, moving the cards toward his older brother. “Round two. Let’s see if you can do better.”Derek took the cards and began shuffling them, a confident smirk on his handsome face. Sandra leaned forward in her seat to hide the hand Creighton had moved to her inner thigh and tried not to giggle as he began caressing the inseam of her jeans.“Has anyone seen Sabrina?” Andrew asked, glancing around the table. All his siblings were present with the exception of the oldest girl.“She was with Giovanni the last we saw them,” Sandra answered as the hand made its way higher on her leg.“Where’s Andre?” Cathy asked as she began to sort her cards in her hand.“Apparently, he had too much work to do and can’t make it for another couple of days,” Creighton answered, much more pleased with the cards in his hand, though he would nev

“Where did you get that bruise?” he asked her with a set expression as he took her elbow gently in his hand. Sabrina grimaced and pulled her arm away, her hand covering it as if to make it disappear.“It’s nothing,” she told him.“It’s from Andre, isn’t it?” he demanded. “Has he ever done this before?”“No, and it’s nothing, really. He was upset when he saw the flowers and…”“He did this because of me?” Giovanni asked, watching as she struggled to a sitting position.“No, he did it because of me. We got into an argument, and he lost his temper. I don’t think he even realized he was hurting me.”“Sabrina, how many times has he left marks on you?”“None,” she said honestly. “This was the first time…”“And the last,” Giovanni snapped angrily as he started to stand off the bed. “I’ll make certain it doesn’t happen again.”“Giovanni, please, just let it be. He’s not a part of my life anymore, and I’d rather put it behind us.”Sabrina took him by the arm and pulled him back to the mattress

“Show him in here please,” Creighton insisted, then glanced around the table in a silent warning for everyone to keep their mouths quiet to the subject they were just discussing.The young man stepped out of the room and returned a moment later followed by Andre, who looked irritated that he was being distracted from his task of finding his fiancée. He smiled an arrogant grin at the group and adjusted the sleeve of his leisure jacket as he joined them at the table.“Hello, Andre,” Creighton said as he, Derek and Andrew stood up to greet the man. He shook hands with each of Sabrina’s brothers, amazed by the strength they held in their grip and nodded to the girls.“Have you seen Sabrina?” he asked with a tone that said he was growing impatient looking for her.“She’s in the park with some of the others,” Creighton lied, knowing full well she was probably in Giovanni’s arms. “We have a scheduled supper at seven. Why don’t you join us until she gets back?”“I wouldn’t want to interrupt,
TRUST ME Chapter 328
Sandra raked in the pile again, fighting hard not to laugh at the haggard expression on Andre’s confused face. Seven hands and he had lost nearly everything. All the money Creighton started him with, along with the money he had on him.“So, Andre,” Creighton began smoothly. “How is everything with you and our sister?”“Fine,” he answered shortly, picking up the last card Cathy passed to him.“Really? Because from what we’ve learned, you’re not exactly in the position to speak for her, now are you?”“What’s that supposed to mean?” he snapped as he looked up at the confident gleam in Creighton’s dark blue eyes.“Tell us about your plans for the wedding? Will you have a bride by your side when you take your vows?”“Of course, I will. What are you getting at?”“I pulled a background check on you when you decided to marry my sister,” Creighton told him boldly, making Sandra turn her gaze to her husband. “It was very interesting reading.”“What…what did you learn?” he asked in a nervous, he

“Irena, that’s enough,” Creighton said sternly, stopping his little sister from finishing her sentence.“I believe you have a previous commitment to keep,” Derek said with the authority his many years in the legal profession provided him. Andre looked around the table with mixed feelings. On one hand he was free, able to move forward and never think of the wonderful Ashfords again, but on the other hand, he had to start over and try to find someone to replace Sabrina at the altar. The room was silent as he stood up, rolled his sleeves down and slipped his jacket back across his torso. Before he could leave the table, Andrew gathered the cash he had used for the game and tossed it across the table to him, watching as he eyed the bills in front of him.“Take your money and get out,” he ordered the man, looking at him with an expression that begged him to start trouble.Andre knew if he tried to back out of the agreement, Creighton would bring out the secrets of his past, and if he trie

Andre didn’t say another word. He simply raised a single eyebrow and turned around, leaving the room and the angry expressions that stared at his departure.Sabrina glared at the door as if it were her enemy, as William shut it quietly, blocking out the curious eyes of those who watched from the corridor. She couldn’t believe any of this had just happened. She was the one who planned on breaking up with him. She even anticipated and prepared for an argument, but never once did she consider his breaking off their engagement. He was the one who had cheated on her, he was the one trying to change her into something she wasn’t, and yet there she stood, feeling guilty for wanting something better for herself. He insulted her family, her virtue - what there was of it - and even accused her of being lower class, simply because she came from honest, hardworking parents.“Good riddance to bad rubbish,” Nana said, taking Grace to her mother.“Are you alright?” Giovanni asked softly as the room

Creighton turned to her and frowned, slowly looking down her body then back up to her beautiful green eyes.“Is it that time already?” he asked, feeling slightly cheated with the lack of hours before she began bleeding.“No, and it won’t be for a while,” she assured him with a smile.“How long is a while? Not that I’m complaining, mind you. I don’t care if you’re bleeding or not, but I know it bothers you.”“Stop worrying. You have about thirty-two weeks, so take your time.” Creighton’s smile returned as he leaned over her, sucking her nipple into his mouth to prepare it for the clamps. Thirty-two weeks, that would give them plenty of time to…then he paused and looked up into the eyes that watched him.“Are you saying…”“Number three will be here in the spring, which leaves plenty of time for you to enjoy the kinkier side of life.”“When were you going to tell me?” he scolded, scooting further on the bed, his hand resting gently on her lower abdomen.“I just did,” she answered. “The
