My father sneered.
Then my mother said, “You won’t answer our calls. How are we supposed to tell you our good news?”
I growled. “I don’t care. You both disowned me. Remember?”
Grey was at my back just then. He wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me into his chest.
Just in time for me to have something to fall back on at my father’s words.
“You're going to have a little sister or a little brother,” my father shared with a beaming smile on his face.
I stared.
My mouth dropped open.
Grey tensed at my back.
“What?” I asked in a whisper.
Neither of them paid me any mind, but my man did.
He pressed his face into the top of my hair, and then... my back shook with his silent laughter.
And then... well, it was a chain reaction.
I burst out laughing.
They both stared at us like we had a few screws loose.
But really, they were the ones who deserved that designation.
From the corner of my eye, I watched as Merlin stalked toward us.
Then another man I didn’t know followed.
Then another man.
Then another.
And then one I did recognize... Nuke.
“Okay, so you told me. Now you can leave.” I shared.
My father glared at me.
Then my mother snapped, “That’s not all, missy.”
Then she said, “How you really believed us when we said that I’ll never know. We would never actually go through with something like that. Besides, you have responsibilities to your family. It’s time you do your duty.”
I shook my head, “No. This is my world. I don’t want the clean-cut life you planned for me. I want this.”
My mother scoffed, “And what is this exactly?”
I sneered at her, “I want a man who won’t cheat on me. I want a man who will insist I eat that last slice of cake. Because he knows I want it, and it keeps my ass looking fantastic for him when I bend over in front of him.”
I felt Grey’s cock so hard against the small of my back. I grinned.
“I want a family at my back who will protect me and keep me safe. Who won’t hesitate to do what needs to be done because it’s the right thing to do, and that’s the brothers at Grey’s back.”
