My heart was pounding, stomach cramping, and I felt a little light-headed as I followed the gPS to where Kayla had been hiding for the past year. As I eased up to the curb, I noticed Mick getting out of a beat up old Army Jeep. As his large body lumbered toward me, my gaze kept darting to the large house to the right of us. There was nothing homey or cozy about it; no, it was nothing like the home we'd built together. This one was flashy. "She's in there," Mich assured me as he approached. "I saw her come back about 20 min ago and she hasn't reemerged." I nodded, unable to find my voice quite yet. "I'll wait out here, unless you need me to come with you," Mick stated, his eyebrow raised. I wasn't sure if that eyebrow was him daring me not to be a wuss, or him simply waiting for my reply, but I took a deep breath and dug deep. "No, I've got it," I replied, clutching the manila folder that held my key to freedom. Mick leaned agains

My flapper dress was purple with lots of fringe, which swayed any time I made a move. I absolutely loved it, along with the amazing decorations our team had come up with. The banquet room had been converted into a speakeasy, complete with whisky barrels as tables, a mugshot photo station, prohibition signs everywhere, and you even had to use a secret code word to get in. Suzanne, in a dress identical to mine, only black, was already having the time of her life, we'd only been here for about thirty minutes. Louis Armstrong was playing in the background and everyone was eating, drinking and laughing. Having a great time. But I couldn't stop watching the door, and checking my phone. I was worried about John, wondering if he'd spoken to Kayla and how that had gone. "Everything okay?" Jennifer came up next to me, a drink in each hand, and passed one to me. She looked adorably sexy in a black pinstripe suit with nothing but a camisole undermeath, he

I was doing my best to wrangle two drunk, and on buzzed, sisters out of my truck and up the stairs to their apartments, without someone falling on their face. It wasn't as easy as one might think. These girls were wired and super affectionate. THey kept stopping to hug each other, and me then sat down on the steps when they deemed the climb too far. "Come on, ladies, you'll feel better once we can get some aspirin and water in you, and you get in your comfy clothes," I cajoled, thinking the comfy clothes bit always worked on Amora. "Ohhh, pajamas sound nice," Jennifer cooed. "Mmmhmmmm, and these shoes hurt," Suzanne added, lifting her leg and kicking her foot until her show flew off, almost hitting me in the head. Luckily, I caught it. "Come on," Renee', the buzzed one, said, trying to help by pulling on her sister's arms. "Let's go get you changed." "Hey," Suzanne said, pulling her arm out of Renee's grasp. "Not so rough, you'll leave a bruise." She turned toward me with a slop

I came awake slowly, my body thrumming as I was pulling from the darkness into the morning with a moan. It took me a moment to register what was going on. First, I felt athe yearning, then the pleasure, and finally, the sweet, wete heat of John's tongue on me. I arched my back languidly wit ha moan as all of my senses awoke at once. God, he's good at that, I thought briefly before I no longer had the ability to think. As I came down, John kissed one thigh, then the other, then dropped kisses on his way up my body. By the time he was fully on top of me, my arms were wrapped abound him and I was smiling serenely up at him. "Good morning," I whispered. And it was...what a great way to start the day. "I wanted to do that last night, but we got a bit carried away," he began, causing me to moan at the memory of last night. Me taking him in my mouth until he went wild, lost control and bent me over the couch. It had been amazing, fran

After aa rocky afternoon yesterday, then an absolutely wonderful night, I picked up Amora and decided to keep things light on the drive back. I didin't want to have this discussion with her in the truck, but thought it would be best to be home, surrounded by our things, with easy access to her bed if she needed to lay down and cry it out. Still, it was hard to be up beat on the drive home, especially when the first thing Amora asked when she got in the truck was, "Have fun with Renee'?" I decided to igmore her snide tone and answered, "Yes, I did." Amora just crossed her arms and pouted the whole way home. Once we got her things inside, unpacked and put her dirty clothes in the laundry, I turned to my daughter and said, "We need to talk." "I don't wan't to talk about Renee'. You can't make me like her," she said snidely, and I had to remind myself that she was a 9 year old girl who missed her mother and was about to be heartbroken once again.

I'd heard the strain in John's voice when he called after talking to Amora, and as much as I wanted to rush over there and be a comfort to them both, I knew it would probably have the opposite effect, so instead, I stayed home with an aching heart. Luckily, we'd all exchanged numbers with Wy, Ty, Rebecca and Jan, so I'd been able to get a hold of Wy to find out wen would be the best time, if any, to drop in and bring a surprise for John. I'd made a pineapple upside down cake, which Wy and Tyson had agreed was John's favorite, and was going to bring it by his classroom, along with a hug and maybe a quick kiss, to let him know I was thinking about him and was there if he needed anything. Wy had assured me that there weren't any rules against visitors, and John wouldn't get in trouble with the principal, or anyone else, if I stopped in. I felt a little weird dropping in while he was at work, but oure schedules were so busy, and I didn't feel right

It had been a rough week.Dealing with Kayla's complete lack of desire to be a mom, and Amora's reaction to it, along with a packed work schedule and the normal everyday issues that never failed to pop up, I was exhausted.Of course, being a single dad meant I couldn't give in to that exhaustion. Instead, it was Fridday night and I was catching up on laundry, cleaning the floors and putting away the dishes I'd been neglecting in the dishwasher.To make matters worse, Amora had gotten in trouble at school that day, and was currently sitting on her bed "thinking about what she did wrong."My phone rang just as I opened the dishwasher, and I thanked whoever was calling for the distraction. Seeing it was my mother-in-law, I leaned against the counter and pressed answer, then greeted, "Hey, Ruth.""John, she called," Ruth said breathlessly, not even bothering to say hello.I'd told her about finding Kayla and what went down when I net with er, an

He said we'll be there soon, and I doubted he meant Tyson or Wyatt, or even Tanner, although I would have been less nervous with any of them...yes, even Tanner...than I was about his 9 year old daughter that obviously hated me."It'll be fine, Renee'," I assured myself out loud as I worked on the flowers for the various cakes that would be served at the anniversary party. Not 50 of them, thank goodness, although that would be cool, but each table would have their own cake centerpiece that would be a miniature version of the actual anniversary cake.that meant I had a lot of flowers to make. Calla Lilies, which were the flowers she'd had in her wedding bouquet.Still, when John had offered to bring food, I'd jumped at the chance to see him."Talking to yourself again?" Suzanne asked as she walked in, her trustyclipboard in hand."Of course," I replied with a smile, then gave my sister a once over and whistled. "Wow, you look great.'

I parked outside the lawyer's office and walked slowly in, giving myself time to try and calm down. To breathe.Mr. Hurlyey had said it wasn't bad, but the worry that had formed on my drive over was that Kayla was going after Amora. I remembered that she'd said just a few days ago, and I knew my lawyer would categorize such a thing in the bad category, but still, that's where my mind had wandered and stayed for the duration of my trip.No way am I letting that happen, I promised myself as I opened the door and went into th waiting room. I turned my phone to silent, then crossed to the receptionist to let her know who I was and why I was there, then went to sit down. Before my butt could hit the chair though, my lawyer stepped out, and I knew he must have been waiting for me."John," he called, giving me a welcoming smile, which eased my worry a tiny bit.He wouldn't be smiling if my world was about to fall down around me, right?W
