“We ran out of time and turpentine,” Adrian mutters dryly. “It’s appalling.”

“Did you see Stan’s legs?” Cameron laughs.

“Oh no.” I laugh as I put my hand over my mouth. “What’s wrong with Joshua’s legs.”

“Covered in paint,” Cameron replies. “But I got the last of the turpentine because I was the one getting married. We sent someone to get some more but it was too late; the photographers arrived before they got back.”

My heart melts and I put my arms around them both. “It means so much to me that you did everything here yourselves.” I tear up.

“Now she cries,” Cameron replies flatly with an eye roll. “She marries the greatest man on Earth and sheds not a tear. The minute she finds out we’re covered in paint and boom.”

“I’m about to curl into a fetal position and cry about this paint, too,” Adrian says flatly as he looks at his fingernails.

We all laugh and Adrian glances at his watch. “The cake and speeches are in five minutes.” We watch him walk off through the crowd as he immediately

    He raises a cheeky brow. “You have no idea what you’re talking about, Bloss.” He spins me again.“Yes, I do.” I now know where the term drunk on love comes from. I feel like I’m going to overdose on love here. I’m on a Cameron Stanton high. “I’m the luckiest girl in the world,” I whisper up at him.His mischievous eyes hold mine. “That’s true. You are.” He winks. “I will undoubtedly be the best husband of all time.” He twirls me again, and we nearly fall over once more.I laugh into his chest.“I’m taking you home, Mrs. Stanton,” he whispers into my ear with that devilish tone in his voice. “I’m ready to start the rest of my life with my wife.” He pauses for a moment. “Hey. That rhymes.” He raises his brows. “See that? Now that I’m married, I’m just making up poems naturally. This stuff is just rolling off my tongue. This is definitely going to raise my romance score. You are one lucky woman.”I roll my eyes and giggle. “Give me an hour.” I kiss him softly. “I want see everyone before

    “We didn’t have time to paint it yet.” He shrugs.I wrap my arms around his neck and start to kiss him all over his face. “I love you.”Cameron smiles and kisses my neck. “Bed, big boy.” He smiles to his son.Owen is half-asleep when Cam lies him down and takes his shoes off before he covers him over. We sit on the bottom of the bed for a moment until he falls asleep fully, and then we tiptoe out.Cameron carefully closes the bedroom door and clicks the lock. His eyes rise to mine.My heart somersaults in my chest.“All I could think about all night is taking this dress off you,” he whispers as he comes to me. His lips take mine; his tongue slowly sweeps between my lips as his hand holds my jaw in place. “Do you know how fucking beautiful you looked today?” He drops his lips to my neck and he bites me hard.Goosebumps scatter up my arms and I close my eyes in pleasure. “You are so perfect,” he growls.My eyes flicker to the door. “Is the door locked, Cam?“Yes.” He nibbles my neck as

    He smiles against my lips, as if remembering something. “We got married yesterday.”I laugh. “Huh, fancy that. We did.” I get up and throw my robe on and open the drapes and look around my beautiful room. There’s even a framed photograph of the three of us on my bedside table. “I just love this room, Cam.” I shake my head. “I love everything about it. What you picked, how you did it. The fact that you did it yourself.”Cam smiles proudly as he looks around. “Hmm, me too.”I smirk; I would just love to tease him about loving this room…but, I won’t.“How did you ever pull this off?” I ask.“With great difficulty,” he sighs, his eyes still closed.“Dad, I’m really hungry.” Owen frowns. “Get up.”Cameron is the one who usually fusses over Owen in the mornings. However, today, the poor man is exhausted.“Daddy is tired, baby. I’ll get your breakfast,” I reply.Cameron yawns. “It’s not here yet; I have to ring for it.”“Huh?” I frown.“The hotel down the road is bringing up a full breakfast

    “What?” he asks.“When do you think we could have another baby, Cam?”He frowns. “I thought you would want to wait a while. I didn’t want to bring it up and make you feel pressured,” he replies.“Owen will be five soon and if we want more,” I shrug, “I’m afraid the age gap will be too big between him and his brothers or sisters and then they won’t be close.”“Whenever you want, baby.” He smiles up against my face as he holds me close. “I’m happy with the family I’ve already got, but if it were up to me I would be trying to get you pregnant on this trip. I’m going to practice anyway, of course,” he mutters.I look up at him in shock. “What? A baby now? Really?”“We could?” He purses his lips as he thinks. “But… I know how much you gave up to have Owen, so the decision on when is yours. When you’re ready is when it will happen.” I smile against his chest. “How many children do you want, Cameron?” It feels funny to be talking about this.“Twelve,” he replies without hesitation.“Twelve?

    I get goosebumps.“And I want to fuck your beautiful ass.”I swallow the lump in my throat as a fission of fear runs through me.“And I’m taking what’s mine. Today.”I frown. “It’s not that I don’t want to but… you’re really big, Cam,” I whisper. “It scares me.”“Have I ever hurt you, Bloss?”I shake my head. “No.”“You know I would never hurt you.” He kisses me, hard lips and soft tongue, and I feel my arousal start to pump. “I love you.” He kisses me again. “I want all of you.” Our kisses turns desperate. “I want you to want to please me and give me what I need.”I can feel my body submitting to his.“Trust me,” he whispers against my lips.Our kiss is slow and tender and perfect, and fuck I do want to give him this.It’s our honeymoon.“What if it starts to hurt?”“It will hurt… you know it will at first.” He slides my top over my shoulders and throws it to the floor, and undoes my bra and throws it off, too. He sucks on my nipple, hard enough that I wince in pain. “But sometimes a

    He chuckles. “I’m going to move, Bloss.” He rubs my hips as he slowly pulls out and slides back home. He pours some oil over my behind and down onto the place where our bodies join. “Fuck,” he moans. “This is something else.” He slides out slowly and the oil releases some of the pressure, and he slides home easily this time.He reaches around and starts to circle over my oily clitoris with his fingertips as he pulls out again and my body quivers. “Oh, you like that,” he whispers in my ear from behind. “My beautiful wife loves getting filled with my cock. Do you have any idea how fucking hot you look right now?” he moans. He pumps me with force and I cry out. With one hand on my hipbone maneuvering my angle and the two fingers deep within my sex, he starts to ride me hard.My eyes are rolled back in my head.I’ve never felt something so fucking good.Deep…so deep.And surprisingly intimate. This isn’t at all what I expected.Our skin is slapping hard. He grabs a handful of my hair and

    He smirks at the floor as his latest skit comes to him, and then looks up and gets all serious as he concentrates on his task.“Please don’t tell my wife that I got you pregnant,” he pleads loudly.I bite the inside of my cheek to hold in my laugh. Is he for real?Oh, God what must this look like? I am heavily pregnant. I roll my lips as I try to play along.“I’m your wife’s personal assistant for God’s sake. She’s going to find out eventually.”The ladies behind us all gasp.Cameron drops his head and scrunches his eyes shut. “All those times in the storeroom at her office should never have happened,” he replies coldly. “I knew it was wrong, but I just couldn’t stop coming back. Even tonight, we shouldn’t have had sex again. You’re like a drug. A beautiful, fuckable drug.”Our eyes linger on each other’s and I feel my heart flutter in my chest.Even when lying he still does it for me.“Leave her for me,” I beg. “I’ll do anything. Please.”He bites his bottom lip hard and his brow fur

    My eyes close in pleasure and my head falls back to his shoulder.He goes slowly, in and out, and deeper and deeper, and God this feels… so fucking good.With his hand protectively on my pregnant stomach, his lips on my neck and his body slowly pumping into mine, I have a new kind of happiness.It’s called perfection.The bathroom light wakes me, and I roll over; it feels like I only just got to sleep. Cam is up and showered and getting dressed for the day. He walks back into the room and smiles when he sees me. “Sorry, babe, did I wake you?”“No,” I sigh.He sits on the side of the bed and pushes my hair back from my forehead. “You okay?” He bends and kisses me softly. “You tossed and turned all night.”“Yeah, I’m fine,” I mumble. “Just can’t get comfortable.” I glance over at the clock. “You’re up early,” I notice.“Yeah.” He stands and grabs his shoes. “I have a quadruple bypass on today.”I fake a smile as I watch him. I can’t even imagine the amount of pressure he’s under every d

    “Don’t.” I pull from his grip. “And don’t tell me you like it rough, either,” I add. “That is way too much information which I do not need to know.”Abbie grabs Ben’s forearm. “Bridget needs to be punished. You need to take her home right now,” she says seriously. Of all the things she could have said. “In fact, give her one for me,” she adds.“Abbie!” I snap. “Shut the hell up.”Tash puts her hand over her mouth and bursts out laughing.Adrian’s and my eyes widen in horror.Ben nods. “That’s a good idea, Abs.”He grabs my arm and pulls me toward the door, and I snatch my arm from his hold.“Don’t touch me.”“Cut out the dramatics,” he says as he pushes me forward.“Dramatics?” I repeat as I storm toward the door. “You’ve lost the fucking plot.” I exit up the stairs, out onto the water’s edge on the cobblestone pavers.He falls into stride beside me and the ocean breeze whips through my hair.We walk in silence for a while and I glance over at him, seemingly deep in thought.“What are

    Your neck looks edible.I could sink my teeth into it.What?I frown and lift my eyes to his. He holds his beer up in a cheers symbol and takes a drink as his mischievous eyes hold mine. He’s sitting back in his seat, legs wide, and his huge shoulders show off all his power. Unable to help themselves, my eyes roam down to his strong muscular forearms and I swallow the lump in my throat. Honestly… why the hell is he so freaking hot?The conversation carries on around us as my heart rate picks up.Okay, what the actual fuck is going on here? I’m not imagining this.That was a definite flirty text.But what do I write back?Fuck off, asshole. That’s what I need to write. I text back:Vampires aren’t really my thing.He reads his text and smirks. I pick up my drink and sip it as I make eye contact with Adrian, who frowns subtly in question. My phone beeps again.Have you thought about me?I swallow the lump in my throat and immediately text back.Never.A reply bounces back.Liar.I feel

    The table erupts into giggles and I choke on my drink. That is such a Cameron thing to say. Cameron is Joshua’s younger brother, and someone very dear to us all. He’s never serious for a moment, and it’s hard to believe he’s a doctor in L.A. He’s cheeky as all hell and keeps us amused with his wicked one-liners and sense of humor. He has every woman he meets eating out of his hand.“Cameron!” Abbie snaps, feigning shock. “For your information, I do not bang like a barn door.”He smiles into his beer. “I beg to differ.” His eyes dance with delight as he teases.“You wish you knew if I banged like a barn door, Cam,” she replies flatly.He raises his glass with a grin.Joshua frowns. “I think you might need a new phone, Didge.” He narrows his eyes as he concentrates. “The engage seems to be disabled.”I roll my eyes. “Will you speak English? What does that even mean?” He looks up at me and raises a brow. “It means it’s fucked.” He hands it back over the table to Natasha, who hands it to

    “Bring him to me?” I repeat with a raised brow. Is he kidding me? “What are you, Henry VIII now?” Unable to help it, I smirk. “What are you going to do, Ben? Behead him?”His eyes hold mine for an extended moment. “Possibly.” He must realize how ridiculous he just sounded because he smiles sexily. “It’s tempting.”Our eyes lock and a ripple of electricity zaps in the air between us.Cut it out.Silence hangs, but he finally breaks it. “It’s good to see you, Didge. I’ve thought of you often.”My eyes search his. I get a lump of regret in my throat and I just want to shake him for putting me through hell.I force a smile. “You, too.”I don’t mean it. Seeing him only makes it hurt that little bit more, knowing we didn’t work out. Unfortunately, I wasn’t imagining the chemistry we had. I always had hoped that maybe it had been a dream. I thought that if we ever saw each other again it would be like seeing an old friend in the street—I would feel nothing and be happy that I had moved on an

    “He’s not that bad.” I laugh. “And yes, he’s a cop… and he’s smoking hot, so he’s got a lot to love. Keep your opinions to yourself, Abs. Please remember you’re dating a gorilla on steroids. You can’t exactly judge.”Natasha and Abbey laugh, and I glance up and see Max smirking in the rearview mirror.“Yeah, well, that gorilla is an animal. I’m so down with gorillas.”Tash and I smirk because Abbey is a slut—a bona fide, self-confessed, slut. She loves men and sex, and she’s enjoying every perk of being a super attractive single woman. Her hair is long and golden, and she has a kicking body that she shows off unashamedly.She has every man she meets eating out of her hand.Her mantra is no boyfriends, no strings… just fun.And, boy, does she have the fun. I don’t know how she has the energy, to be honest. It seems like a lot of work.The car comes to a slow crawl before it stops, and we climb out to make our way to the bar where we’re all meeting.Joshua, Cameron, Scott, and Adrian ar

    I know he’s strong. I know he’s not a talker. But those nights in his arms were filled with tenderness and love.Where is that man?Because I want him back.I lie in the darkness at 1:00 a.m. The sound of the ocean drifts through the room and the soft breeze rolls over my body. As usual, I’m torturing myself with thoughts of Ben Statham and his beautiful body. Where is he now? Is he asleep?The last time we were together I told him I loved him. I never meant to, but I couldn’t help it. I was all soft and emotional from my orgasm-high, and the words just slipped out.Is that why he ran?I blow out a deep breath and stare at the ceiling as I go over that last night we spent together for the ten-thousandth time.If I knew it was to be our last night together I would have done more, said more,done anything to make him stay.The door opens, and I roll over. My heart catches in my chest.“Ben,” I whisper.He walks in and closes the door behind him, his hands clenching at his sides. He seem

    Cameron looks up and spots me watching him through the window, and he smiles sexily and makes his way across the garden. Before I know it he wraps his arms around me from behind and kisses me.“Permet de se faufiler au lit.” (Translation: Let’s sneak off to bed.) He nibbles on my neck and I smile as I try to wriggle away from him.“No.” I turn, and he takes me in his arms. I look up at him and he kisses me softly. “You know, you’re kind of all right for a farm boy.” My hands drop to his behind and I give it a squeeze. Everything is still gorgeous about my man; he’s only gotten better with age.He smiles sexily down at me. “I’ll show you what a farm boy can really do.”“Dad!” Juliet calls.He rolls his eyes.“Dad!” Zander yells. “Where did you go?”He puffs air in his cheeks and looks out the window, and then smiles broadly as an idea comes to him. He ducks down and crawls through the kitchen and back through the house.“What are you doing?” I ask as he crawls up the hall, towards the

    I nod and scrunch my eyes shut as another contraction comes. My doctor walks into the room. “The doctor is here.”“Put him on,” Cameron asks.I hand the phone to the doctor. “It’s Cameron.”He frowns and takes the phone. “Hello?” He listens for a moment. “Why? Where are you?” he asks. “Just a minute. “He puts the phone down and gives me an internal and then gets back on the phone. “She’s nearly ready to push. I’ll do my best. It’s progressing very fast.” He hands the phone back to me.“Hey, Bloss. I’m coming, babe.”I nod as tears start to roll down my face. He’s not going to make it. I know he’s not.“I love you,” I whisper.“I love you, too. I’ll be there as soon as I can.” He hangs up.I start to cry, blubbering-mess-crying, and I just want Cameron here. Why, oh, why today of all days?My eyes widen, and then I scrunch them shut.“What is it?” Adrian frowns.“I need to push.”CameronI tear off my gloves and run out of the operating room.

    “Get on a plane. I’ll hire you a private plane,” I stammer.“It will take that long getting into one airport and out of the other…it’s quicker if I drive.”Shit.“All right.” I pause for a moment. “Can you leave immediately?”“Yes.” He sighs. “On my way.”I blow out a breath and the nurse wipes the perspiration from my brow. The room falls silent and everyone is edgy. I inhale deeply as I try to calm myself down. “Hanna,” I call.“Yes, Doctor.”“Can you keep in contact with Ashley by phone, please, and let me know if there’s any change, other than that I need to concentrate here.”“Yes, of course.” She pauses for a moment. “Calling her now.”I inhale again as I try to slow my heart to a regular beat.It’s okay, I’m going get there… fate couldn’t be so cruel as to let me miss another birth.Hold on, Bloss... hold on.Ashley“Ahhhhh!” I call as I sit slumped over in the car.Adrian’s eyes are nearly popping from the sockets and he’s driving like a maniac.
