“I don’t think I want to tell you now,” she grumbles.
“Either tell me or I’ll spank your ass. You pick.”
“You wouldn’t dare.”
“There’s a lot I’d dare where you’re concerned, Gwen. You don’t want to test me.”
“I think I want to go home,” she complains.
“Fine, let’s go. I’ll show you what bad girls get for teasing.”
“Teasing?” she squeaks. “I’m not teasing.”
“What’s it going to be? You going to tell me more about your sister, or am I taking you home, bending you over the sofa and spanking your ass red until your pussy drips for me?”
“Wyatt!!!”
“Gwen,” I growl, the sound predatory and more than just a mere warning. I’m barely holding on here.
“She doesn’t like kids. They have a live-in nanny. Actually, two now after she had the twins. Anyway, each time she gets pregnant, she calls to tell me. Which is cool. I mean, that’s what families are supposed to do, right? Share good news?”
“Yeah, I guess,” I murmur, seeing that Gwen is getting all worked up.
“Exactly, but Cora mostly called me to let me know she was pregnant again and felt so horrible that I can’t even find a man to be interested in me and maybe I should give up the dream of having a house full of kids.”
“So, what you’re saying is your sister is a bitch?”
“Pretty much. Although it’s not just her. My brother-in-law is a piece of work, too. I try not to get around him too much.He keeps slapping my ass and trying to act like it’s a joke, but in private he does everything he can to touch me.”
“Why the fuck haven’t you told anyone?”
“Who would I tell? My sister would never believe me. She’s just as vile as he is. My mother is clueless. Thankfully, I don’t have to see them often. Unfortunately, holidays mean more family time. So, that’s on tap pretty soon.”
“Good,” I grumble.
“Good? Have you heard anything I’ve said?” she gasps.
“Yeah, I heard all of it. I’m thinking these people need to be put in their place, and I’m thinking that’s my job.”
“Huh?” she asks, looking at me adorably confused.
“I’m going to dinner with you. When do you go?”
“Friday?” she says, phrasing it as if it’s a question.
“Good, I’ll pick you up and take you to this dinner, and if your fuckwad brother-in-law tries anything, I’ll put him in his place.”
“Um, I’m not sure this is a good idea,” she whispers.
“Well, I think it is,” I grin. “Do you want to trade information again? This is fun.”
“I think I’m a little tired from sharing,” she whispers, looking pale.
I reach over and hold her hand once more. “Okay, honey. We’ll just eat, then.”
“Okay,” she agrees, looking a little thunderstruck. Damn, spending time with her is fun as hell.
Gwen doesn’t know her life is forever changed. I can’t wait to show her just how much. Shit, if I could get away with it, I’d move her into my house tonight. I wanted her before having this time with her tonight. Now, I want to lock her down. I feel more alive than I’ve felt in years.
