Amberleigh barely made it through the front door when she ran into Grayson with his hands on his hips in the foyer. The man was wearing a fucking blazer on a day his ass wasn’t even going to work for fuck sake. He was lucky he wasn’t wearing a tie or she might have strangled him with it. The billionaire was also lucky she was holding food.

“Where the hell have you been? You’ve been gone for four hours! And you didn’t reply to my last text that I sent you an hour ago!”

She breathed deep and set the takeout food on the stand near the door. This could get ugly and no reason to risk the steak.

“Okay, you can put the brakes on your testosterone train and back the fuck up Grayson. I can manage on my own for a few hours without you. This alpha male overprotective bullshit needs to stop.”

He scoffed, “Need I remind you it’s not exactly safe for any of us, especially you, to go on leisure strolls through the city right now Amber. I agreed to let you go the Cobra Club not…is that smoke I smell?

    New Year’s Eve definitely started out as a low-key affair. Amberleigh opened her eyes to the smell of bacon and the sight of Grayson crashed on the couch across from her. Leo was missing but it wasn’t hard to find him as she followed the delicious aroma to the kitchen. Her chef was whistling a merry tune, decked out in his chef gear, while he flipped a pancake expertly. She cleared her throat and crossed her arms.“Babe, you really shouldn’t be up doing that. I love you for it and appreciate it, but you really should leave it to me.”Leo flashed her that grin of his which made it impossible to stay mad at him. Bastard knew just how to use it against her.“I didn’t want to wake you. You looked so adorable like a drooling angel. Besides I feel great Love. Breakfast is almost done anyway. Order up!”He slid a plate of pancakes across the island towards her. It looked so good Amber really did drool a little.“Are you trying to butter me up Leo? Bribe me with your culinary confections?”He

    But surely his parents would like stay in the den or something.Grayson opened the door to his parents. Amber had only met them once, and that was more than enough for her when it came to his father at least. Of course, now knowing that the Godwin patriarch was suffering from a debilitating and fatal brain disease softened her up some towards the man. But there was nothing soft about the hard, frowning lines of Cole Godwin's face. The railroad tycoon was dressed in a dark suit, his grey hair combed neatly and disciplined into place. He had a black cane in one hand and his wife’s arm in the other. His face was smooth shaven, his features broad and strong, but he was a handsome man. Amber saw Grayson in the shape of his jaw, but even Grayson’s had never been so clenched tightly.Cole Godwin’s dark eyes quickly took everything. Judging and assessing. Amber immediately felt about three inches tall. But his eyes made a disapproving sweep of her before they focused back on his son.Viola Go

    Amberleigh lingered in the kitchen a bit to chat with Viola before she excused herself to allow Grayson some private time with his parents. Back in Leo’s room, she decided to make good use of her time. She began the process of researching drug trials and other experimental treatments for Huntington’s. Unfortunately, with the world's focus on finding the cure for the infection which had led to the need for walled cities and a dramatic population reduction, her search didn’t generate a lot of hits. And many didn’t seem all that promising out of the results.Amber wasn’t anti-natural or anti-cultural remedies or anything, but she didn’t believe dousing Grayson with essential oils or cow urine was the answer. And some of these trials looked shady as hell. The LEDA corporation was recruiting participants for their new drug for dementia. Though the trial wasn’t specifically designed for those with Huntington’s disease, the disease still caused dementia in its sufferers.But Amber didn’t tru

    “I’m going to get in the sauna,” said Grayson.“Don’t be lifting weights Grayson. Your ribs aren’t healed yet,” advised Leo.“I won’t overdo it. I know my limits.”“Yeah I’m fucking coming with you. I don’t trust your ass,” said Leo.“And you shouldn’t be hitting the gym right now Leo. Or the sauna.”The boys headed towards the gym. Amber followed them. No, her heart wasn’t pounding and a million grizzly scenarios likely to occur because she hadn’t answered her texts weren’t running through her fucking head.“What the fuck do we do now? What am I supposed to do?” said Amber.Leo chuckled, “You could work on knitting the baby that sweater you’ve been talking about.”He gave her a kiss on the cheek.“Or you could practice your guitar you liked to torture Mr. Duvall with. I put it in the utility room for safe keeping,” informed Grayson.Amber smirked at him. Subjecting a living being to her guitar playing could hardly be classified as torture. But she could do with some alone time. She d

    They say all good things must come to a fucking end, and that is exactly what happened when Grayson’s cunt wife returned four days into the new year. Sure, it hadn’t all been puppies and rainbows as Amber, Leo, and Grayson had fallen into a rhythm of being around each other nearly 24/7. Amber had felt like both the boy's fucking keepers between trying to make sure Grayson ate and slept and trying to keep Leo from doing all the projects he suddenly decided needed to be done during his recovery. Like when she caught him reorganizing the pantry one morning, moving heavy bags of flour and shit or the night she caught his ass in the gym about to get on the fucking stair climber!It had been three days into the new year that Leo had given Amber the scare of her fucking life. She’d helped Grayson cover his bruises with some foundation so he could make a run to his office to check in and get some documents. While he was out, Amber had hung Leo’s infusion and noticed blood on his shirt. She ch

    The music wasn’t the only thing that died when Courtney came back to the penthouse, so did the fucking mood. Leo was no longer so cheerful or upbeat. Grayson became more sullen and distant. The billionaire started to fall back into old habits of working long hours and then shutting himself alone in his room at night. Only this time around, he also developed a habit of sequestering himself for hours in the panic room when he thought everyone was asleep. Amber knew he was shutting them all out again. And she didn’t like it one fucking bit. It hurt, especially after all they’d been through together. Grayson was trying to build his walls too high for her to climb. And even when he was home, he wasn’t present. His mind focused on his work or elsewhere. Hell the man had even returned to work earlier than he initially planned and Amber was convinced it wasn’t just to get away from his cunt wife. She got the feeling he was also avoiding her as well. After a solid week of his anti-social, work

    Amberleigh had to give credit where credit was due. Grayson still did take time out of his busy schedule to take Leo back to Docs when it was time for his staples to be removed. Grayson also got regular reports from the home health nurse Jamar. But he was certainly no longer as hands on anymore.At least Grayson skipped out of work early one afternoon to take Leo to meet his brother Pierre. Neither Grayson nor Amber wanted Leo going anywhere alone or overdoing it, especially after he had dislodged one of his staples. Leo also didn’t want his brother to come to the penthouse to pay him back. Grayson chaperoned Leo and didn’t allow his friend to climb up the stairs. The billionaire also made sure the brothers played nice.But it was clear Grayson was stretched thin. Trying to juggle too much. Amber kept trying to talk some sense into his thick head, but her words often seemed in vain. While he did stop spending as much time in the panic room going over camera footage, she still caught h

    Leo had a guilty grin on his face as he slid his arm around Amber’s back. She wondered if he was thinking about his own future wedding and proposal. He had promised to ask Amber one day to be his wife. That thought didn’t only bring joy to her heart like it should. Would she be able to say yes? To commit herself to spend a lifetime with a man who was perfect and loved her unconditionally?There was no doubt she loved Leo. He was a great man, the kind rarely found. One of the most kind and selfish men she’d ever had the good fortune to have met. And he didn’t care about her soiled past or where she’d come from. So it should have been a simple answer really which shouldn’t need a lot of thought. But still, there was that seed of hesitation and a lingering doubt in her head.“We can discuss such matters later Carl. For now,, I’m still cross with my Leo. For a son who speaks so highly of his mother, and yet he didn’t even tell me he was having surgery!” her fierce gaze turned towards her

    Amberleigh's private chef had indeed made a spread worthy of a queen. Chocolate covered strawberries, a tantalizing fruit and cheese board, cucumber sandwiches, stuffed mushrooms, lamb kabobs, and that was just his starters. Dinner he kept a well guarded secret. Amber just hoped now he would be setting the table for three and Grayson would stay with them. He deserved to spend the holiday with those who loved him. As Amber and Grayson dug in, Leo pulled a box from beneath the counter and handed it to her. He gave her a kiss on the cheek. “Happy Birthday, Love.” “But I thought I already got my present babe,” she smiled. “Open it then. I’m sure you’ll like this one better.” Amber opened the black box to find a golden necklace inside. Dangling upon it was a pendent etched with an engraved image of the baby’s face from the last ultrasound. Well the last one Leo had been present for. Tears clouded her eyes. “Oh Leo, I love it!” Amber wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him clo

    It was a good thing Leo’s shower was so roomy, it easily fit three. Amberleigh had imagined this moment so many fucking times in her head. And she intended to make this reality so much fucking better than the fantasy which had long lived only in her imagination.She turned on the water, nearly scalding, and watched the steam fog up the glass. She ran a hand across the steamed up mirror. Her loyal servants, waited behind her, already hard, just awaiting their queen’s command.She grabbed two natural sponges from the basket on the counter and turned to them. Leo was on her left and Grayson on her right, close but their naked bodies not touching one another. While it would be hot and check another box of hers off altogether, she would not ask either of them to kiss or touch each other. She loved and respected them both enough to know Grayson wouldn’t like being with Leo in that way. If it happened naturally, then so be it. But there was nothing sexy or romantic about being forced.“Wash

    Amberleigh gave Grayson a moment to think over her proposal. To make his decision. The billionaire loosened his tie like it was choking him. Beside her Leo rolled onto his side and began to run a finger up and down Amber’s bare back. He was clearly ready to go another round. And so was she. But the question remained, would Grayson be joining them?“I don’t like Leo in that way. I’m straight,” he spoke finally.Amber smiled, “It’s not your job to pleasure him or each other. Unless of course you boys want too. But it’s both of your jobs to pleasure me. You don’t have to do anything you’re uncomfortable with.”Leo began to kiss her neck, “I’ll keep my hands to myself G-Man. Except of course when it comes to her.”He ran his tongue up the side of her neck. Amber shivered and awaited the billionaire’s decision. She wasn’t going to pressure him into anything he wasn’t ready for. Grayson took a deep breath.She bit her lip, “Or you can just watch if you would like. Feel free to join in if yo

    Amberleigh vowed Grayson to silence over the sex of their child. She wanted to figure out a cute way to reveal to Leo it was a munchkinette she was carrying. But she wasn’t about to go out and have one of those big gender reveal parties. Those things often ended in fails. While entertaining to fucking watch on viral videos, Amber didn’t intend to try some big display to reveal her child didn’t have a penis.Since Amber wasn’t quite ready to reveal it to her father yet either, it gave her and Grayson no real chance to talk about it. Giovanni had appeared in the basement soon after the ultrasound had ended. She would have to catch Grayson in the panic room at some point to discuss his feelings over having a daughter.Amber was still trying to take it in. She wanted baby girl to only get the best parts of herself and Grayson. And she sure as fuck didn’t want her daughter treated like a pretty, dress up doll. Her baby would be afforded all the same opportunities a boy born to Grayson God

    Giovanni opened the rear door instead.“Ladies first,” said Grayson.They loaded into the vehicle and made the trek to the wrong side of the tracks. On the ride, Giovanni and Amber chatted about the baby and her intentions to graduate high school. Her father told her he was proud of her and again suggested Giovanni as a great name for his grandchild. He also got the usually introverted billionaire to join in the conversation and get Amber riled up over suggesting naming their child Adam Milton or Agatha Louise. No fucking way was that going to happen to her baby.Doc personally let them in the backdoor. After pleasant greetings, Amber couldn’t help but tease a bit.“I thought you had people for this doc.”He smiled, “My usual doorman now has a girlfriend. One of which he won’t be seeing outside of school hours for a while if he’s not home in the next twenty minutes.”Donny was a good kid. He would likely be home by curfew. Amber wouldn’t mind getting the chance to say hello to him ton

    Giovanni Costa, AKA Amberleigh's father, didn’t let her down. His reply was swift, I’m on my way figila. I can be there in twenty minutes. Now all that was left to do was to try and control the bleeding in Grayson’s arm and wait.Thankfully, his selfish and useless wife had retreated to her room still crying about her bloody clothes. No doubt she’d seek out poor Helga and have the woman try and scrub the stains out. Just when Amber had assumed she couldn’t hate Courtney Van Cunt more, the evil woman had outdone herself. She really was the ice queen with no heart nestled beneath her fake tits.Amber only left Grayson’s side long enough to wash her hands and then collect a few things. While she completed that task, she tried not to dwell on a troubling thought. The bathroom floor had been dry indicating Grayson hadn’t made it into the shower yet. He hadn’t slipped on water on the floor. The rug was an anti-slip rug, so it was possible he had actually displaced it while he was falling an

    Amberleigh decided to eat her feelings so she dug that half gallon of moose tracks ice cream from the freezer and grabbed a spoon. She planted herself at the island counter and debated checking in with Leo. She hadn’t heard from him in a while but didn’t want to come off as one of those suffocating fiancée. But Leo probably would have communicated by now if blood had been shed or he needed bailed out of jail.Before she knew it, Amber had eaten half the fucking container of ice cream as she thought about the life choices which had brought her here. She also mulled over the future and co-parenting with a man who had a lot of anger and unspoken resentment towards her.She understood where Grayson was coming from. He was hurt and angry over a ton of shit he’d just let bottle up rather than ever deal with. The murder of his brother, which he hadn’t really ever got over Adam’s death to began with. His disease, like staring down the barrel of a gun he couldn’t escape from. And seeing Amber

    Life was good despite all the darkness they were facing. Amberleigh was trying to bask in the good moments, even when they seemed few and far between. She used them to carry her through the dark ones. And there were dark times a plenty as Grayson struggled with his anger and depression. As they were all forced to coexist with a murderous cunt. As Amber’s hormones were fucked and she found herself extra sensitive. Even sappy commercials often made her cry.She had much to be thankful for though. Like her pregnancy progressing well, reaching her fifteenth week with no complications, and finally not having to pee every fucking five minutes! And most of all Leo. That man was a fucking godsend. Leo would kiss her belly every night and sing to the baby. Amber was glad that it was unlikely the baby could hear yet, but she didn’t tell Leo that. She found his new nightly ritual sweet.But Amber shouldn’t have expected anything less from him. Leo put his whole heart into the things he cared abo

    Amberleigh and Leo came up with a plan to keep Grayson’s ass out of the bars in the bad part of town and home every night by sundown. They simply started showing up at Godwin HQ every work day around five p.m. They’d hang in Grayson’s office until he decided to leave and personally escort him back to the penthouse. Amber usually annoyed the fuck out of the billionaire to the point they were in the car by seven at the latest.Leo often took the opportunity to read a book or look up new recipes to try at home. While Amber napped on the couch in G-Man’s posh office, or watched videos on the net, or raided the employee break room for snacks. It was usually her laughing at funny videos or chewing loudly which got Grayson to throw the towel in for the day and head home. He sure as fuck wasn’t happy about it.He even tried to get the pair of them banned from the building. That laughable attempt got Leo to call up Viola. She came on down to the office and scolded her son in person. She sided
