We finally pulled up to the Sullivan family estate after an eternity navigating through dense traffic and multiple security checkpoints. After two grueling hours later than anticipated. I gaped a little when the imposing white mansion came into view.It was an absolutely sprawling contemporary building with sleek lines, huge windows, and gleaming white stucco that seemed to almost glow in the afternoon sunlight. The place looked like it belonged in the pages of an architectural digest, not tucked away in the countryside. Even from the circular driveway, I could tell the home was easily over 10,000 square feet of pure, unadulterated luxury.You only needed to take one quick glance at the grand property, surrounded by well-groomed grounds and gardens to realize that the Sullivans were part of the elite upper echelon when it came to wealth. Their net worth was undoubtedly in the tens of billions, if not more.While my own family was certainly well-to-do and wanted for nothing, the

"You just stay away from my wife and go find your own," Karl bit out gruffly as he tightened his grip on me.Andre's grin somehow managed to stretch even wider at that with a teasing glint in his eyes. "Oh, I already did find me a good one," he announced proudly, puffing out his chest with an air of smug satisfaction. "You'll all be meeting her soon enough."While the rest of the family looked on with stunned curiosity at his declaration, I returned Andre's conspiratorial wink and grin. He was such an irreverent flirt, constantly pushing his brother's buttons, but somehow, this never failed to amuse rather than offend me."You're serious, Andre?" Mr. Sullivan, who had just arrived, spoke up. There was an inquisitive look on his face as he took in the scene before him. "Well, it's wonderful to have you both here as always."He pulled me into a warm, fatherly hug and smiled down at me fondly. Despite his gruff exterior, he'd always had a soft spot for his eldest son's wife."So who's

"Lavi!" Tyler's bright voice rang out like a bell. I turned just in time to see him come barreling towards me, all tousled blonde curls and dimpled cheeks. He'd clearly just woken up from his afternoon nap, rubbing his little fists against those big blue eyes in an effort to banish the last traces of sleepiness. "Well, hello there, munchkin," I laughed as his solid weight slammed into me with his short arms winding around my neck in a fierce hug. "Did you have a good sleep?" "Uh huh," he mumbled against my shoulder and nodded vigorously. When he pulled back, his face had split of all bright eyes, cherubic charm, and mischievous delight. It was such an Andre expression that it made my heart squeeze fondly. "Tyler! Get that cute little butt over here so I can snuggle my favorite nephew," Karl called out with a deep chuckle, his arms opening wide in invitation. But Tyler simply giggled and burrowed back against me shamelessly as he ignored his uncle's request

The next few hours passed in a whirlwind of games, movies, wrestling matches, and more junk food than any of us probably should have consumed. I was breathless with laughter by the time the grandfather clock in the hall began chiming eleven o'clock."Okay, little man, I think that's enough excitement for one night," Karl said at last, reaching out to ruffle Tyler's curls with an indulgent smile. "We'd better get you into bed before your mom really does kill us all.""Aww, but Uncle Karl!" Tyler immediately began to protest, his little face crumpling into an exaggerated pout that could melt even the coldest of hearts. "I'm not even sleepy! Can't I please stay up a little longer?""Sorry, kiddo, but your uncle's right," Andre chimed in, scooping the little boy up and tossing him over one broad shoulder despite his squirms and whines of protest. "The fun has to end sometime. But don't worry - I promise we'll pick right up again first thing tomorrow morning, okay?"Tyler didn't

The warm rays of the morning sun slowly crept through the curtains, bathing the room in a soft, golden glow. I blinked my eyes open groggily, squinting against the bright light. A warm smile blossomed on my face when the endearing sight in front of me came into focus.Karl's chiseled face was serene and comfortable as he slept soundly. One of his heavy arms was draped securely around my waist, holding me close against the solid warmth of his bare chest. But what made the moment so unbearably sweet was the tiny figure of Tyler curled up on Karl's other side with his tousled blonde head pillowed on his uncle's broad shoulder.They both looked so content, so achingly innocent in their matching expressions of childlike repose. A wave of tenderness washed over me, temporarily stealing my breath. This right here - this was what true happiness felt like. The kind of simple, profound joy that money couldn't buy and fancy possessions could never replicate. Just me and my little f

"Don't worry, I'll be a perfect gentleman - we'll even leave the bathroom door cracked just in case.""A perfect gentleman?" I echoed with a breathless laugh, arching helplessly into his wandering touch. My nails raked lightly down the broad expanse of his back, feeling the rippling muscles there flex beneath my questing fingertips. "When have you ever been-"Karl‘s hungry kiss swallowed the rest of my teasing retort. His tongue swept boldly into my mouth to taste and to claim. A soft whimper escaped the back of my throat. My fingers threaded through his thick, tousled hair, holding him close. He tasted like sin and summer nights. Like a heady combination of whiskey and woodsmoke that had my head spinning.Just as things were really starting to heat up, a little whine reached my ears, shattering the heated moment like a bucket of ice water. Karl and I broke apart with a start. Our eyes were wide as we turned towards the source of the noise.Tyler was awake now. His big b

The rest of the day passed peacefully and beautifully at a local park with a small lake and plenty of grassy areas to run around. Despite Karl's occasional flares of jealousy whenever Tyler monopolized too much of my attention, the young boy's bright energy and excitement over every little thing—chasing after ducks, climbing on the play structures, and going for a ride on the paddle boats—lightened the mood considerably. His youthful zest for life and finding magic in the mundane was utterly infectious.As the sun began to set, painting the sky in brilliant shades of orange, pink and purple, we reluctantly headed back to the Sullivan family home where we were staying for the weekend visit. Karl carried a sleeping Tyler up the driveway and into the house. The poor little guy was utterly tuckered out from our active day. Kelly looked up from where she was setting the table when we entered through the kitchen."Is he finally out?" she asked with a warm smile, referring to her s

I woke up feeling wrapped up in the comforting cocoon of Karl's strong arms. My head was pillowed on his bare chest, rising and falling gently with each deep breath he took. Despite the intense passion we had shared last night, there was a sense of utter peace and tranquility in the air now. I traced idle patterns across the smooth skin of his torso, just enjoying the quiet intimacy of lying tangled up together."Are we heading back home tomorrow?" I murmured. Karl nodded against the back of my head. "Yeah, we'll hit the road first thing tomorrow morning," he replied, his voice still husky with sleep. "Did you have a good time here?"I nodded. As much as I loved our life back home, there was something about this place that I would always miss. "It's going to be hard to leave again," I admitted softly, making a move to get up. Karl's palm tightened in a loose grip around my wrist before I could untangle myself, keeping me there. "How about we shower together before we go?

I was awakened by Karl peppering kisses all over my face the next morning. "Mmph...good morning to you too," I grumbled, trying to burrow further under the covers."Rise and shine, sleepyhead!" he crooned against my cheek. "Time to start the day."I groaned in protest. "It's barely even light out yet. Give me like, five more minutes?"Karl chuckled against my ear. "Alright, alright, you get a short snooze extension. But only five minutes!" True to his word, Karl was back trying to rouse me what felt like thirty seconds later, nuzzling along my jawline."Okay, up and at 'em now, baby. Don't make me resort to more...extreme wake-up tactics," he warned playfully.I cracked one eye open and glared at him halfheartedly. "Ugh, you're the worst. I'm getting up, I'm getting up!"He grinned unrepentantly before hopping out of bed. "I'll jump in the shower first if you want to sleep a little longer. Just don't go back into a coma on me.""Yeah, yeah, I'll be up before you're done," I

We were greeted with curious looks and murmurs as we made our way hand-in-hand through the sleek office lobby. I felt my nerves returning full force, my palm growing slick against Karl's grip."Just stay calm, baby," he murmured under his breath. "They're just wondering what the CEO's wife is doing here, that's all."Before I could respond, a young woman who looked to be around my age approached us with a polite smile. "Good morning, Mrs. Sullivan," she said warmly. It's wonderful to have you join us here. I'm Jenna, Mr. Sullivan's executive assistant. Please don't hesitate to let me know if you need anything at all."Her friendly, down-to-earth demeanor immediately put me at ease. "It's very nice to meet you, Jenna," I replied, shaking her proffered hand. "And please, call me Lavinia.""Lavinia it is," she agreed with a grin before turning her attention to Karl. "Sir, your 9 o'clock video conference is all set up whenever you're ready.""Thank you, Jenna. You're a gem, as al
