Sebastian

Late Night Talk

“They’re evil,” Trevor muttered against her belly, which was immediately followed by pressing a kiss against her belly through the Bradford Construction tee-shirt that she’d helped herself to from his closet before he turned his head and released a heartfelt sigh. “What did they do now?” Zoe asked, placing her book down next to her on the bed and- “Exist,” Trevor mumbled, making her lips twitch. Knowing that he wouldn’t appreciate it if she smile right now, Zoe cleared her throat and wrapped her arms around him and began running her fingers through his hair. “What else did they do?” Tilting his head… Read More

“Don’t say anything,” came the harsh whisper that had Sebastian biting back a sigh as he opened his eyes and-

“What are you doing here?” Sebastian asked the girl who was apparently put on this earth to drive him crazy.

Thanksgiving Negotiations: Part III

“I…I don’t think I can do this,” Zoe managed to get out as she stood there, wringing her hands together as she shot another nervous glance at the large kitchen door, which was the only thing protecting them from a room full of Bradford men waiting for Thanksgiving dinner. “They have it coming,” Haley bit out with a firm nod as she reached up and pushed her glasses back up her nose with a look that she probably thought was intimidating, but really, she was just too damn adorable for words to pull off, Rebecca thought as she forced herself… Read More

Thanksgiving Negotiations

“No,” Lucifer said, not bothering to look up from the iPad on his lap as the small woman that loved tormenting him more than anything climbed onto his desk.

“Maybe we should try to get them back in daycare?” came the absently murmured words that had Trevor biting back a sigh as he opened his eyes to find his wife worrying her bottom lip between her teeth as she stared down at the iPad in her hands. “The boys are fine, sweetheart,” Trevor assured her as he reached over and plucked the iPad out of her hands and placed it on his nightstand before she could stress herself out over the boys since he was doing that enough for both of them. “They stopped talking,” Zoe mumbled sadly as Trevor… Read More

“What are we doing?” Jonathan asked, jumping out of bed with a smile that drew Mikey’s attention as she adjusted her backpack over her… Read More

And So It Begins…Part 20

“I’m starting to think that you’re paranoid,” came the announcement from behind him as Trevor pulled the curtain aside just enough so that he could take another look at the hotel parking lot and make sure that nothing had changed in the last five minutes.

“They’re out there,” Trevor said, debating asking the hotel to switch their room to help throw them off to buy himself a little more time to figure this out.

“This makes me so sad,” Mikey mumbled with a forlorn sigh as a black pickup truck parked in the back far corner caught his attention… Read More
