They have nothing to hold him on. He shouldn’t be there in the first place. Each day he’s there, he’s missing out on a day of this wee one’s life. Another day that he doesn’t know she exists.
I’m tired of all the lying. Which is why I have a big surprise for DJ tonight. It’s our anniversary and I’m growing tired of feeling like I need to hide her away.
I’ve rented out a club in Belfast to throw a party. It’s by invitation only. All my guests are flying in by helicopter, including DJ and me, after I take her to dinner.
However, first, I need to fly to London, where our home is. I haven’t been able to move her to Ireland yet. Things are still volatile here.
“Thanks, Aisling. She hasn’t been giving ya any trouble, has she?”
“Not at all, she’s the sweetest babe ever,” she says while smiling at me.
Aisling takes good care of Shauna, but I still think Kate could have found a better option. This one eye fucks me whenever she sees me. Aisling is a pretty woman, but I’m not interested.
“How do I look?” Kate says as she comes out dressed in a tight black dress.
She looks like a supermodel. Both of my sisters are gorgeous. Kate is the taller of the two, with her long, dark hair and green eyes. I’ll have my guys keep an eye on her tonight.
Kate has been here with Aisling to protect my niece if anyone were to stumble upon her existence. Connie should be here soonto help out for a bit. She was just in California with Dylan for Felix’s proposal party.
I have to give the lad a call. I heard things didn’t go as he planned. I was sorry to hear that.
“Ya look gorgeous. Seán is downstairs, he’s going to ride to Belfast with ya.”
“Oh, I get the big security,” Kate coos and shimmies her shoulders.
I chuckle and shake my head. She comes over and begins fussing with the lapels of my suit jacket.
“Ya look handsome, yerself.”
“Thanks. I try.”
“Ya don’t have to try much,” Aisling says with a goofy smile on her face.
I don’t reply. Instead, I walk over and place a hand on Shauna’s back before I kiss the top of her head. She turns to look over her shoulder and begins to blow bubbles at me.
“So adorable. I’ll see ya soon, love. Ya be good,” I say, earning me a gummy smile.
“Ye guys have fun. I wish I could go,” Aisling says as she looks me over from head to toe.
I fight not to roll my eyes as I turn to leave. As I walk out, I nod my head for Kate to follow me. Once we’re out the door, I look back to make sure we’re not followed.
“Ya know ya could have found someone who doesn’t want to fuck me to do the job, right?”
“I chose her for exactly that reason. Her obsession with ya makes her willing to give her left tit to please ya. She’d die sooner than disappoint ya.”
I make a sour face. I don’t want her left or her right tit. What I want is for her to take care of my niece and make sure no one makes the connection to who she is. Aisling can move about with the babe and not need to look over her shoulder.
“Bad idea, Kate. She doesn’t know anything about tonight, does she?”
“No, I’m not crazy and neither is she. If she hurts Shauna, ya won’t get a chance to make her pay for it. She’d already be earth salt under my boot.”
“Hopefully this won’t be for much longer.”
“LaSalle offered to take her in. Do ya think she would be safer with him?”
“Ach, maybe, but she’s our charge. Our blood.”
“I hear ya. I was only thinking. I would go with her. She wouldn’t be a burden. I would?—”
