Becca. Few minutes later, while I struggled to swallow some of my breakfast, he came back to the room not only properly covered but obviously dressed for the day. A part of me was disappointed that he felt it necessary to take his bath before I woke up. I had been looking forward to sharing a morning bath with my partner. “Mmmm, I had to take my shower before waking you up because it is safer that way.” He interrupted my thought gently, making it obvious he knew what was on my mind. “Safer? In what way?” But even before I finished asking the question, I knew the answer already. For no particular reason I could pinpoint, I felt so different waking up this morning. As if something has changed and I’m now a brand new item. “If I had waited for us to take our shower together, then it’s not certain we would leave our suite today agape mou. I would not have resisted taking you and I mean hard and fast.” His voice was direct and candid with no effort to hide his emotions and I whimpere

Christos. By now, I could see that others except the woman beside me are aware of the twins’ presence and I gave them a pointed look when they all glanced at me, wondering what I wanted them to do. Nothing of course, I was eager to see what the kids would do. “I did not mean physically. I am talking of your attitudes, young woman.” The boy snorted, and my wolf and I almost laughed aloud when we heard the young lady’s response. “Well, it better not be my face, young man.” She returned almost coldly, making it plain her physical appearance was nothing to be messed with. “Pathetic. So pathetic and vain.” Her brother breathed in astonishment and the girl gave a pealing laughter which reminded me of the other beautiful woman who was sitting close to my side. How dangerous the Summer ladies are. They kept pulling the string of my heart. “Please be quiet, Ric. We have a mission.” She ordered shortly and one would think she was the older of the two. “You called this a mission? We are g

Becca.The best day of our lives, mine especially. But from the kid’s radiant smiles and shouts which are uncommon, my kids are usually so composed, shouting is not one of the things they indulge in, it’s a toss as to whose day is more made between our trio.Even now, they keep jumping and running about as Christos lightly throws the softball to them from where he is seated. Despite the fact that he must be extremely tired, why won’t he? We have barely had enough sleep since we tied the knot the previous day; yet, he is here having a good time with the kids after coming up with them after lunch.Allowing myself to be distracted, again, from trying to read the book my mother-in-law had left for me this morning before leaving for her house which is on the other side from us. Her private home which she had told me is far enough from her protective son but also not too far that she can’t pop in to see us whenever she is in the mood now that her son finally decided to bless her with a fami

Christos.While a part of me would admit I was also as curious as the twins to unravel this mystery and know my woman’s family if she truly had any out there, another part was actually skeptical about the whole thing, wondering if I was not about to open a nest of bees I would not like.But well, it’s too late to change my mind. The twins are fully aware of everything and even if I’m willing to disappoint them now, I’m sure they will not give up. They will only look for other ways to get their mission accomplished and who knows what length they will go in achieving that? Or what it will cost them and their mother? No! I can monitor events this way which is better and safer.An hour later, Frank parked the car smoothly in front of a modest, family house and while I could see it’s a comfortable private home, the state of it got me somehow depressed. It’s as if there’s no warmth in the house. The environs spoke of sadness and neglect, almost as if people weren’t living there but after ge

Christos.“My name is Eric Summer. And my sister’s name is Erica Summer.” The boy murmured softly while keeping a noticeable distance between them and the old couple.“Twins? You—you both are twins?” The woman continued with her questioning and I could see the surprise and happiness in her eyes as she realised this. It’s not so surprising that one might assume the boy is older with his sturdier stature.“Yes, we are twins. Eric is the elder and I’m his favourite.” The girl volunteered in a soft and shy voice, and the woman gave a trembling laugh that called to the soul.“As it should be, Erica. I am glad you have a Hero on your side.” She murmured softly and the twins blushed from the approval.“I wish it was the same for your Mum.” The woman finished under her breath and while the twins might not pick up on the words or understand, I did clearly and I gave her a pointed look.‘You and your husband should have been the Hero she needed but you were not there for her. Were you?’ I remin
