“Would you like that, Daddy?”

“I would.”

I pull up my pants and say, “Then that’s what I’ll do.”

Dimitri and I settle into an easy routine over the next few weeks that should scare me. Last weekend, the kids stayed at the Carter’s, and Dimitri and I didn’t leave his bed once. It was heaven. Thankfully, I have two best friends who didn’t mind keeping Raquel for me.

We go about our days as normal. Most nights, I sneak into his room and stay there until he has to leave in the morning. The kids are on a regular schedule and haven’t barged into my room looking for me. And we always lock the door in Dimitri’s room. The bad thing is that I feel too safe here and I know I’m not safe. I haven’t heard from Uncle Wolfe, but my gut tells me that won’t last forever. I have no idea what I’m going to do when he finally reaches out to me.

I roll my bottom lip between my teeth. I need to tell Dimitri about Raquel. Yeah, I’m scared, but it’s the right thing to do. Besides, I miss my baby so freaking much. Seeing her at playdates and on the phone isn’t enough. Not when I know what it could be like if she was here, with all of us.

Dimitri pads from the bathroom, a towel around his waist. Holy moly, every time I see this man in a state of undress, I fall for him a bit more. Ironically, that’s how I ended up in his room just now. He grabbed me after a dip in the pool and pulled me in here, ravishing me. We’ve become quite good at quickies. My pulse thrums at the thought. So, so good. And it’s areallygood thing that I have extra clothes in here…

“What time is it?”

“Five.” I set my phone aside. “Are you sure you want me to go?”

“I’m sure.”

His friend, Brooks, invited him over for a family dinner. And Dimitri asked me to come. As his date.

“What if they say something in front of the kids?”

“No one will say anything.”

I sigh. “I’m just worried.”

Mostly because Clara has nearly caught us kissing several times. That kid must have a sixth sense. Each time she’s nearly caught us, she gives us a sly smile before skipping away.

Dimitri says, “It’ll be fine,minha vida. I promise.”

“So Brooks, Alessandro, and Grant are all in the Brotherhood?”

Dimitri told me this tidbit when he invited me.

“They are.”

“Are they going to be okay with you bringing a non-Brotherhood person to their dinner?”

He moves closer, brushing his lips against mine. “Yes.”

A knock on the door has us pulling apart and a moment later, the door swings open. Clara looks between us before smiling and rushing off.

I shake my head. “That kid.”

“Be thankful for that interruption. I was about to pull you into the bathroom for another quickie.”

I snort. “How romantic of you.”

The crazy thing is, I would have been down for it. I’m down for anything he has to offer, really.

“I better go make sure the twins are ready.”

Dimitri stops me. “If I haven’t already said it, you look beautiful, Lilith.”
