“Nah,
sounds like some college students. You dressed? I’m good to go.”

“Let
me put my heels on.” Steadying herself by holding onto his arm, she slipped
them on and let him lead them back to the pool hall. “You think those
drunk
idiots are safe?”

“Safe,
probably not, but hopefully they have some common sense. If it were too unsafe
the pool hall owners would board up access to the dock. There is a sign that
says no drinking at the dock, and another saying swim at your own risk.”

“
Huh
, I missed those.” Her feet squeaked
in her shoes, the unattractive loud sound akin to passing gas mortifying her.
She plucked them off and carried them in her hand instead.

“You
were upside down over my shoulder as we passed them. Look over there.
The neon yellow and orange reflective signs posted on both sides of
the path.”

“Yep,
I did miss those. It’s cool you can see the signs from both directions. There’s
no
way
 
anyone
can say they didn’t see.” She brushed her hair behind her ears and fixed her
skirt and shirt to the best of her ability. Seth handed her damp thigh highs to
her. She quickly donned them and slipped her shoes back
on,
thankful her feet had dried enough to quell the horrifying sound.

“Sexy
even when wet.” Seth ran his hands over his messy hair and pulled open the back
entrance door for her. They entered the loud pool hall hand in hand.

“There
you two are. We thought you went home, until we noticed your cars still here.”
Sincliare rounded the table with a tray of drinks. Aylin grinned when she spied
Cordero and Alpha sitting at the table.

“So
this is the date you had tonight, brother mine?
Hey Alpha
nice to see you again.”
She turned to her girlfriends. “I just have one
question, who are the designated drivers tonight?”

“Dire
isn’t drinking, Quin had one beer and called it quits,
Ri
isn’t drinking, and neither is Cord. Think we have enough sober peeps here?”

Seth
pulled up an extra chair and scooped her up as he sat down. She ended up
sprawled over his lap. “Sounds good, no one’s car will be left here.”

“Go
for a dip?” Sincliare winked, handing Ailyn a shot and passing a few to those
consuming alcohol.

Ailyn
took a wiff and groaned. Seth’s laughter tickled her back. “I can’t drink this.
My stomach is in revolting in remembrance.”

“I
thought something with kick would be great. Want me to get you something else?”
Everyone around the table tittered. Sinclaire clearly hadn’t been regaled on
Ailyn’s last drinking binge.

“Let’s
just say, I got really drunk on nothing but these last time I was here and the
memory of how far gone I was, is still humiliating.” Ailyn smacked Seth’s
wandering hand. Clearly, he’d forgotten he’d ripped her panties clean off as
she smoothed her skirt down and crossed her leg.

“You
ready to go, darlin’?”

“Yeah,
let’s go. I feel sticky and in need of a shower.” Low chuckles resounded around
the table at her choice of words. Sinclaire took back the shot and tossed it
back herself.

“Ya
’ll should
be ashamed of your dirty minds.” She pushed off
of Seth’s lap and grabbed her purse from the table and slung the strap over her
shoulder.
“Thanks for watching my purse, sis.”
Ailyn
dropped a kiss on her sister’s cheek and a quick hug.

“No
problem. I rescued it from the pavement after he kidnapped you.”

“Mia,
we’ll see you in the morning, unless you’re dropping by to pick Ash up tonight.
She can sleep in the guest room again.”

“That’s
fine. We’ll swing through and pick her up in the morning, if not she’ll let us
know who is picking her up for cheer practice.”

Ailyn
tangled her fingers with Seth’s as they headed to the car. He opened the door
like a gentlemen before crossing over to the driver’s side and getting in. He
started the car to make the short trek to her house.

Chapter Twelve

“The
house is secure. Peeked in the guest room, Ash is passed out cold.” Seth walked
into an empty bedroom. Steam rolled from under the door in the bathroom. Toeing
off his boots before dropping his jeans and T-shirt on the floor, he then opened
the door and entered. Ailyn turned to face him from the tub, an inviting smile
adorning her gorgeous face.

“I
thought I heard you speaking. What did you say?” She stepped back allowing him
to enter with her.

Seth
hissed in pain as the scalding hot water hit his chest. “Darlin’, I don’t want
to be boiled alive in the shower.” He reached over her to adjust the
temperature so that he’d have skin intact when he climbed out.

“I
love hot water. Plus, I want to get the lake smell out of my hair. You are so
lucky we didn’t get bit by a snake. You know water moccasins are native to
Missouri and Kansas rivers and lakes. They come out to feed in the dark,
although there are other non-venomous snakes, I’d prefer not to get bit.”

Seth
silenced the remainder of her sermon with his mouth, enjoying how pliant she
instantly became in his arms. Slippery with soap, he ghosted his hands along
her body, digging his fingers into her ass, clutching the half globes in his
hands. Her nipples pebbled against his chest as the rain water setting on her
showerhead fell over them in a hot drizzle. Ailyn thrust her tongue into his mouth
and rose on her tiptoes, wrapping her arms around his neck.

 
Thick and heavy, his cock
flexed in response to the feel of her slippery heat.
Seth sank down on
his knees and parted her stance to flick his tongue along her slit and bite her
clit. Her husky moan was music to his ears. He flicked her with a blunt finger and
ate her cunt like he’d never have the chance to sample her sweetness again. She
came apart against his mouth with a sweet sigh of pleasure. Seth lapped her
juices and turned her back to him. Her ass called to be nibbled. He bit the
halves of her glistening globes and nipped a trail up her spine. Fisting a hand
in her short curls, he pushed her forward on the shower bench, folding his body
over hers. He teased her folds with his cock.

“Damn
sexy, darlin’.” Seth breached her pussy with his throbbing dick, sheathing
himself in one long thrust. “Hold onto that bench.” He braced his hands on her
hips and set pace, pummeling her decadently drenched, tight core. Ailyn moaned
as he moved within her, he slid his hands around her ribcage and up the
slippery foam covering her taut belly and breasts. Encased in wet heat, her
core clutched his dick each time he pinched or tweaked a nipple causing a
cascade of juices around him. “Darlin’, I’m so close. Come for me. You feel too
fucking good to last.”

“I
want you in my mouth.” She screamed as her orgasm washed over her, her silken
walls trembling against his flexing steel. When she finished shaking, he pulled
out and moved her to sitting position on the bench. She parted her perfect lips
for him in a show of stark hunger.

Seth
slipped into her soft mouth and groaned as she sucked him down in a solid
stroke. Her slender fingers cupped his heavy sac and tugged, drawing out a ragged
moan. “Damn, darlin’.”

Ailyn
smiled around his erection and inhaled through her nose. She moved one hand
around his length and jerked him off, her mouth only teasing the tip of his
head. Clenching his jaw, he braced his hands on the tiled wall and took the
reins back, fucking her mouth. His balls drew tight, his dick jerked in her
mouth spewing a load down the back of her throat.

“So good.”
She moaned around his dick, contracting her throat and
swallowing.

She
gave a few more sucks and pulls before releasing him, licking her lips. Staring
down at her flushed face, he’d never seen a more beautiful sight. His brazen
woman stood and slipped her hands up his chest. Seth brushed the water from her
face and leaned down to kiss the slope of her neck.

“Yum,
that was like having Christmas in my mouth.” She bit his nipple and grabbed his
ass. “I love swallowing you. Giving head is my second favorite to being fucked
with my thigh highs on.”

“Darlin’,
when you say those things, you can’t hold me responsible for my reactions.” He
grabbed the soap and worked her body into a thick lather, rinsed her off
quickly, and shuttled her out of the shower before she could
play
with him, and then cleaned himself and
rinsed off.

A
loud crashing noise met his ears as he opened the door with a towel slung
around his hips.
“Ailyn?”

He
opened the bedroom door and ran into her. She slapped his arm with a wooden
bat.

“
Shh
. You scared me.”

“You
hear a loud crash and the first thing you think is to run out and see what it
is? And a bat is your choice of weapon.” He reached into her nightstand, keyed
in the code to his lockbox and removed his 9mm semi-automatic hand gun. When
she didn’t speak, he flipped off the safety.
Women.
Clearly, she didn’t
realize she should’ve stayed put in the bedroom out of danger and waited for
him to check out the situation.

“Eva
and Ash are here. I can’t wait to make sure they’re okay.” They moved down the
hall. Seth opened Eva’s room and looked in to see everything in order. Next
they moved to the guest room. Seth pushed her behind him as he swung the door
open. A lean figure leaned over Ash, shaking her. He flipped on the light and
pointed his gun.

“Don’t
shoot.” Rylan stepped away from Ashland with his hands up. Ashland covered her
mouth and ducked under the covers.

Seth
noticed the raised double hung window, went over to close it, and realized
their alarm never sounded. He faced off with the two teens. “One, don’t ever
disengage the security alarm again, and two, did you just climb in the window
or have you been here the entire night?” He clicked the safety back on and
handed the gun to Ailyn. “Go put this back in the box and shut it. The lock
will reset once you close the lid. Can you bring me a pair of sweats too,
darling?” He kept his other hand over the loosening towel.

“
Uh
, yeah.”

“I’m
still waiting for an answer.” He turned his attention back to Rylan. The boy
had some balls being here at this time of night.

“I,
well, I was here but I left. We watched a stupid movie and I went home. The
doors were locked because I missed curfew. I didn’t want to sleep in the truck.
I planned on just crashing on the floor here and leaving in the morning.”

“You
climbed the tree and fell over the table in front of it. Not really a smart on
your part, but your lack of knowledge shows me you’ve never been in this room
before. You are damned lucky I didn’t shoot first and ask questions later.”

“I
know, sir. I’m sorry. I just wanted to tell her I was here. I didn’t mean to
wake you or cause any trouble.”

Ailyn
walked over to him and handed him a pair of sweatpants. “Don’t speak, don’t
move.” He stepped out long enough to put on the sweats and walked back in the
room.

“Ashland,
how did he know which room was the guest room?”

“He
texted me to say he got locked out of his house, so I turned off the alarm
system, texted him and unlocked the window and raised it for him to come in. We
weren’t going to do anything. Sleeping in the truck isn’t safe.”

“You with me.”
He pointed to Rylan. “Ashland, I’ll let your parents decide
how to deal with you in the morning. Goodnight.”

Ailyn
sighed as he shut the door behind him separating the two teens.

“Darlin’, looks like I’ll be sleeping on the pullout couch
with this clown tonight.
I’ll reset the system. Sleep
well,
we’ll call Dire and
Mia in the morning, no need to bother them tonight.” He turned to Rylan. “If
you try to sneak out, I’ll know. I have an uncanny intuition and eyes in the
back of my head. Got me, son?” he said as he trudged down the stairs to the
alarm pad.

“Yes, sir.”

Seth
activated the system. “Good. Let’s go get some sleep.” He ushered Rylan to the
living room. After he tossed the cushions from the couch, he pulled out the
sleeper bed and opened the bench with a cushioned lid and removed the blanket and
pillows stashed inside.

“I
sleep on the left.” He tossed a pillow to Rylan. The makeshift bed dipped as Rylan
climbed on the other side and put the pillow over his head.

Seth
chuckled. He knew the game, he was once a young hormone driven boy, and his
choices could’ve cost him dearly. If he could help it, he’d make sure the same
didn’t happen to Rylan.

In
the morning there’d be time to figure out the best solution for the problem.
More parental supervision would help. Rianna advised them not to tell Ashland
she’d been spied on or watched. He disagreed. If she knew she couldn’t get away
with breaking the rules, she might not keep trying to bend them her way. In the
end though, he’d trust those who’d been parents for more than a few weeks and
the trained professional.

Rylan
seemed like a good kid, who had a good head on his shoulders. It was clear he
loved Ash. Seth only hoped Dire didn’t rip the boy’s ass to shreds in the
morning. After Rylan passed out, he jogged up the stairs to look in on Ailyn and
the girls, only to find his bed empty and moved onto check on Ash, finding his
girl sleeping next to the snoring teen. With a smile on his lips, he headed
back downstairs, secure in the knowledge the two manipulative adolescents
wouldn’t be getting over on them before morning. Yeah, he loved seeing how well
they worked as a united pair.

Back
downstairs, Seth lay on his back with his hands behind his head, thinking about
his future with Ailyn and their daughter, hoping they’d talk about marriage and
expanding their family soon. First things first, he knew she wanted to take
things slow this time around. He’d bide his time and do things right.

One
day he’d thank her parents for bringing her into his life. Her absence
destroyed him as a young man, although he was to blame. He’d never found solace
after their split. In each woman he’d dated, he looked for her personality and
found pieces of her in a few girls but not all of her. After a while, he
figured only the real deal would work for him, and was on the cusp of putting
an investigator on finding her for him. As he fell asleep he gave thanks to
fate for intervening.

“Breakfast
is ready.”

Seth
woke up to Eva doing front flips on the pullout sofa to wake him up.
“Mornin’, firecracker.”
Eva flipped again and he caught her
midair, hugging her to his chest. “You know the rules. What’s for breakfast?”

“Belgum
waffles with whipped cream and strawberries. Rylan helped me. Did you have a
sleep over? I thought only girls had slumber parties.”

“Firecracker,
I think you meant Belgian waffles, and yeah, Rylan couldn’t get into his house
last night so he crashed down here with me. Sometimes boys sleep over at a
friend’s houses. What time is
it,
a bit early for you
to be up on the weekend isn’t it?” His daughter looked at him like he was crazy.

“You
mean like Ash sleeps in until the middle of the afternoon? No. I like to get up
and work on my routines. Come on, Rylan has to leave for conditioning soon and Mom
is coming downstairs to eat with us. I woke her up first.”

“All right.”
Eva placed his hand in her small one and pulled with all
her might to make him stand. He laughed and stood.

“Can
I watch you practice?” They entered the kitchen. He washed his hands and sat at
the table. Ailyn graced the room with her beautiful sleepy face and mussed
hair. Eva pointed for her to sit across from him.

“If you want to.
Mom gets tired of watching sometimes, I think.” Eva plated
a waffle on three plates and brought them to the table, layered them with a
pile of whipped cream, then ladled the strawberry compote on. Their daughter
sat down with her waffle with double the amount of whipped cream on top. He
chuckled as Ailyn frowned.

“She
has such a sweet tooth, wonder
who
she gets that from?”
Seth turned his head to see Rylan heading upstairs with two plates. “Keep that
bedroom door open, got it?”

“Yes, sir.
She’s just embarrassed, wants me to come give her a plate
before I head out to conditioning.”

Seth
nodded and Rylan disappeared through the door. He ate with Ailyn and Eva in
comfortable silence.

“Done.
See you downstairs,
Papi
.
I was thinking maybe, you
know,
you could tape me with
your phone and send it to my other grandparents if that’s okay.”

“Sounds perfect.
Thank you for breakfast.”

“Mama,
you can come down too if you want. Oh I forgot.
Tio
Cord texted to say he is going to be training the rest of the
weekend and might not come by, but he’ll video chat with me later. He also said
to tell you to reply back when he texts,” she yelled the last over her shoulder
as she ran to the basement stairs.
