“I never said you were my favorite,” she points out with a cheeky grin. “I’m pretty sure that Uncle Hulk is my favorite. He gave me twenty bucks for my piggy bank.” Her grin turns innocent, but the look in her eyes is cunning.

I know when I’m being taken for a con, but damn if I can resist. We’re all going to pay for this when we’re older, but I dutifully pull out my wallet and hand her a fifty-dollar bill and say, “Well, I think Uncle Viper can be a bit higher up the list now than Uncle Hulk, can’t he?”

Macy snatches and makes a production of looking it over before nodding and stuffing it into the pocket of her little jeans. “Uncle Viper, you’re always my favorite,” she announces loudly. “And I’ll draw you another picture. This time with Auntie Eden. Does that mean you’re going to be like Mommy and Daddy and have a baby soon?”

Oh shit. The room goes silent at her announcement since she wasn’t talking all that quietly, and I turn to look to see everyone staring at Shadow and Quinn in expectant silence. Especially Rose, who looks like she’s barely holding herself back from launching herself at both of them. Quinn’s face is clearly shocked, and reddening. Shadow pulls her tighter into him and then looks at his daughter. “Macy, where did you hear that?” he asks her carefully.

“I heard you and Mommy talking about it last night. You said that Mommy and the baby needed to rest and to leave stuff to you. You know, Daddy, you really need to learn to be quieter if you don’t want me to hear stuff. But I’m just saying, I want a sister. Boys are gross.” She curls her nose at that.

“They are, honey,” Rose says, absolute joy in her voice even as she stands up and goes to Quinn. Quinn watches her, tears filling her eyes as Rose cups her face in her hands and says, “Are you happy and both healthy?” Quinn nods. “You have an amazing little girl, and you have no idea how excited I am for you both.” Then she drops her hands and pulls her into her arms and hugs her tight, while smiling happily up at Shadow.

“Nana Rose is going to have even more babysitting duties now,” Shadow jokes.

“And she’ll do them with the biggest smile on her face,” Rose returns. She releases Quinn to hug Shadow and murmurs something in his ear. His face flashes with emotion, and he hugs her tightly back. Out of all of us, it’s no secret that Rose and Shadow have a special relationship, one that’s different than what she has with even her own sons. When Shadow was having a rough time, she was his biggest champion, and I think that changed their relationship for the better.

The women are up and moving to hug and congratulate Quinn and Shadow, while Macy continues on drawing her picture. Then I look at Eden, and she’s watching me with a soft smile on her face. I hold my hand out to her. “Archer, I need to talk to Eden,” I tell him. “You good to hang out with Macy until we get back?”

“Yep,” Archer says, looking over at me, a knowing grin on his face. I ruff up his hair and then I pull Eden toward the stairs again.

This time, I’m not letting her leave my room until we’re finished talking, and if anyone is in my room this time, I’ll be throwing their asses out.

NINETEEN

EDEN

This man knows how to say the right things, but now he’s asking me to do something I know I probably shouldn’t.

The moment Viper has me back in his room, he slams the door shut, locks it, and then whips me around, pressing my back against it, before reaching down to lift me up so that I can wrap my legs around him before he kisses me senseless. His grip on my ass is tight, and I’m sure that I’m going to have bruises come morning. But I don’t care. No, I want more. I run my hand up along the back of his neck, until I can grip his ponytail and yank his head back so I can latch on to his neck with my teeth, making him groan and grind against me.

“Fuck, baby girl,” Viper groans.

I pull my teeth from his neck, soothing the spot with my tongue. I don’t think I’ve ever bitten a man, wanting to mark him, but right now, I want there to be no mistake. After seeing those skanks on his bed, acting like they had the right to be in here, it infuriated me. Enough that I barely managed not to launch myself at them. Jealousy made me furious at realizing that Viper might want to be with them, or that he might realize he didn’t want me. But he proved me wrong and for once, I’m glad.

Now, though, I want no mistake. Viper’s mine, and whatever happens is going to happen, and that means, he better get fucking used to it. And if he hurts me by dumping me or wanting me to change who I am, I’ll make good on cutting his dick off. For now though, I have much more pleasurable things to do with it.

“Eden, we need to talk,” Viper moans.

“Later,” I rasp, moving my hands from his head, trying to grip his cut to shove it off his shoulders. I want his skin on mine, and his cock inside me. Desire has a hold of me like a vice.

“No, baby girl, we need to talk now,” he says in a firmer voice, but he doesn’t stop my hands moving over him, though he doesn’t help me get his cut or shirt off either.

“You really want to talk, or do you want your cock inside me?” I rasp bluntly, looking into those blue eyes of his.

Said eyes flash at my question, but behind them is a firm resolve. Shit. “That’s a question that isn’t fair when you know how much I love your pussy and how it takes my cock so nicely,” he replies huskily, grinding himself into me again, and sending sparks of desire through my core. “But right now, we need to talk and it’s important. After that, I’ll fuck you as hard and as long as you want to make up for making you wait. How’s that?”

I give a low moan, my body desperately needing more as I try to adjust my body to give myself some more friction. I know it’s probably the adrenaline and anger mixing together to make me feel so needy, but I don’t think I can wait for him. “Viper, please,” I murmur, staring at him. “I don’t think I’ll be able to think or listen right now. I want you inside me.”

He watches me for a moment, and then suddenly turns me from the door, still holding me tight, and walking me back toward the bed. I’m so fucking glad I changed those sheets, because when he lays me on them, I no longer smell anything other than crisp linen and the man currently working his way down my body, yanking my work pants and underwear down my hips and thighs. He yanks off my flats and tosses them aside before pulling off my pants and underwear the rest of the way. “You’re not getting my cock yet, Eden,” he warns me, even as he drops to his knees at the end of the bed, and pulls me down so I’m at mouth level. The feel of his breath on my folds has me shivering and my muscles straining as I try to hold myself still. “But Daddy will make you feel better, won’t he?”

“Oh fuck,” I moan, arching into his face as he latches his mouth on my clit and starts to suck and lash at me with his tongue. My breath escapes my lungs in a rush, as my hands try to find purchase anywhere, but finally I just wrap my hands in his ponytail again, using it to guide him where I need him. Not that he really needs direction, because the man is a pro at knowing what I need and when to give it.

Suddenly he pulls his mouth away, making me drop my hands from his head and to the bed. “You taste so damn good, spitfire,” he grits out.

“Then why don’t you fuck me, Daddy, and we can both feel good?” I taunt him, knowing how much that will set him off. His eyes go molten with desire at my statement, and an answering heat and desire fills my core. And just because I can, I lift my heels to the bed, opening my thighs so he can see just how much I’m enjoying myself. Then I slide my hand over my thigh to my center, pressing my fingers against my clit, before forcing myself to go further and push my fingers inside. Viper is frozen in place as he watches me, his breathing picking up speed. “Because these,” I continue, pulling out my wet fingers, “are not enough. I want your cock in me. You say you’re mine, and I’m done trying to hide that I want you, so I think it’s time you showed me how much you own this pussy, Viper. Fill it up with that hard cock of yours and show me you own me.” I thrust my fingers back inside, moaning at the feel, but it’s not enough. “Mmmm, yeah, that feels good,” I purr, arching into my fingers. “But it’s not Daddy’s cock, is it?”

“Jesus Christ,” Viper hisses, climbing to his feet and yanking furiously at his belt and hastily toeing off his boots. “Baby girl, I’m going to spank your ass for teasing me,” he threatens, shoving his jeans and boxers down to reveal his cock, which is dripping with pre-cum and jutting out at me angrily. Any other time, I’d probably ignore myself and taste him, but I don’t have the chance before he steps out of them and is moving over me.

I give him a coy smile as I lean back, but never remove my fingers, thrusting them inside myself hard, and work my clit with the other hand. It’s a bit of an awkward position with him kneeling over me, but it’s also so fucking hot that I can actually feel an orgasm building. It’s slow and simmering, but it’s there, and I can thank Viper for that. This man can arouse me like no one else.
