I sat up and slapped his bare abs. It would’ve been more of a statement if I didn’t immediately get distracted by the hard slabs of muscle and start tracing their indents with my fingertips.
“Um…what’d you say?”
He groaned and caged my wrists in his hand.
“You’re a little sadist, aren’t you?”
“Me? No way.” I licked my lips and internally cheered when his eyes tracked the movement. “What would even make you say a thing like that?”
The bedroom door flew open and Leon came in with a panicked look on his face.
“The kids heard me and Dom talking about you being ours and they’re on their way up here to interrogate you about it so the two of you need to put on clothes right fucking now.”
I accidently kneed Theo in the balls in my panic to get over him and out of bed. He jerked upright and we headbutted each other before falling out of bed. He landed on top of me, still in pain from the knee I’d given him.
“Oh, my god.” I pushed at his shoulders but he wasn’t budging. “Okay, new plan. Pull the blanket over us and tell the kids we jumped out the window.”
Leon let out the biggest laugh I’d ever heard from him and it stole my ability to panic about the kids coming. I strained to peek over Theo’s shoulder and laughed when I saw how big Leon’s smile was. Thankfully at the last minute Theo recovered enough to yank the blanket off the bed and cover us with it.
The sound of little feet running towards us was followed by Dominic’s much heavier footsteps.
“Wait! Just let me make sure—”
“They went out the window!” Leon might’ve sounded more convincing if he hadn’t snorted in the middle of saying it.
Theo sighed into my ear.
“It’s bad enough that Leon and Dom saw my ass last night. If the kids see it, too, I’m actually jumping out the window.”
I wrapped my arms around him and kissed the side of his neck.
“I mean…it’s a really great ass.”
He groaned. “At least you called it an ass. I was bracing myself for hearing you ask Leon to fuck your butt.”
“I’m no longer sorry that I kneed you in the balls.”
Epilogue
Sutton
“Betty! Stop giving my grandbabies sugar! They’re bouncing off the walls already and I’m about to start drinking straight from the bottle!”
I scowled at Dad. “The hell you are. Just because you’re kinda healthy now doesn’t mean you can ruin your liver with all this—”
“Angel.” Dominic pulled me into his lap and cupped my stomach. “While you areamom, you’re nothismom. Let the man drink in peace.”
Turning my scowl on him, I still wrapped my arms around his neck and curled into his warmth.
“You didn’t have to scrape him off the front lawn last week. He thinks he’s twenty-one again.”
Dad wagged his finger at me.
“I was not scraped off of anything, young lady.”
“Oh, please! You were scraped, old man. I had to help Sutton take your pants off to get you in bed that night.” Betty rolled her eyes and blatantly ignored Dad by sneaking Charlie a second cupcake. “Snitches get stitches, remember?”
Charlie scoffed.
