Jared: Pasha, get in here!

Pasha: What?

Jared: I’m going out of town for a while. I leave tomorrow. Take a look at the calendar and see if anything is on the schedule for the next few weeks.

Pasha: No, other than a charity race in Fontana, you’re clear.

Jared: Good. Cancel that, and then get my plane ticket out of my email and try to get yourself on the same plane.

Pasha: What?!

Jared: You’re coming with me. We still have work that needs to be done. You know I don’t know how to run those computer programs.

Pasha: Where are we going?!

Jared: Shelburne Falls

Pasha: Like hell! I am NOT spending a couple weeks in the bum-fuck midwest!

Jared: Relax, we have cute girls there, too.

Pasha: I’m not into girls.

Jared: *snort

Pasha: >:(

Jared: Now.

Pasha: >:(

Jared: Now!

Pasha: *walks out, turns back* Oh, yeah. You won some book boyfriend contest. Congrats. *grins, walks out*

Jared: >:(

But he is soooooo happy on the inside!! :D Thank you everyone for voting for our man and believing in him.

Madoc: You ranked in Erotica?!

Jax: *shrugs

Jared: You little shit...

Jax: Come on. It’s not a competition. Get over it.

Madoc: Easy for you to say. What the hell did you do that we didn’t?

Jax: You’re really asking me that?

Jared: No. We don’t need details. Shut up, Madoc.

Madoc: Yeah, I don’t need details either.

Jax: Good.

Jared: Good.

Madoc: Fine.

Jax: However...I’m sure she, Fallon, and Tate have all compared notes by now. Sucks to be you :D

***

Madoc: I want to talk to you.

Fallon: Ooooh, adding a little spice to our relationship. I’m there.

Madoc: Smart ass.

Fallon: :D

Madoc: So, tell me. What’s extremerestraints.com?

Fallon: Uh...where...what?

Madoc: The kink site, babe. Why were you on it?

Fallon: ..........

Madoc: If you bought a strap on, so help me...

Fallon: NO! Oh, my God, no I didn’t buy anything! I...I just...

Madoc: *arches brow

Fallon: I just...well, the girls and I were going to the
Fifty Shades
premier and I hadn’t read the books, so I started to read them, and then I got confused, because I didn’t know what toys they were talking about and I couldn’t picture stuff in my head, so I went online to look at it, and...

Madoc: And?

Fallon: And nothing. I didn’t buy anything. We don’t need that stuff.

Madoc: Good. You always like being in control anyway, so I doubt you’d ever let me tie you down. *walks away

Fallon: *mumbles* The woman isn’t always the one tied down.

Madoc: What was that?

Fallon: Nothing.

***

Madoc: Give it up already. I’ve made up my mind.

Jason: Madoc, my law firm is your heritage. It’s your future. I’ve built everything for YOU!

Madoc: And thank you for that, but you didn’t build the firm, the clientele, or the connections for me to assume your place. You built all of that, because you didn’t have a choice. And you stuck with it, so I would have choices instead. You sacrificed for me. Now I’m going to do my own thing.

Jason: This is ridiculous. Think of your wife! Think of our name!

Madoc: Let’s get real. You’re not going to disown me. You love me. Everyone loves me, and Addie would kill you anyway. Your hard work has guaranteed my financial future. So thanks for that. But I’m switching to the other side. I want to do work that means something.

Jason: The public sector?! Are you serious?!

Madoc: It’s not a disease. Damn.

Jason: But you’re going to put the same people in prison that I’m trying to keep free?!

Madoc: Good times. :D

Jason: But...

Madoc: And working in the public sector makes me a better candidate for mayor if I want someday...

Jason: But...

Madoc: Or senator!!!

Jason: But...

Madoc: Or governor! Can you imagine? Me, a governor?

Jason: :O

Madoc: *walks out of room smiling

Jason: Madoc!

Jason: *whispers* F*CK!

Katherine: *walks in smiling* Well, that word usually only comes out in bed. What’s up?

Jason: That kid of mine could sell a Smart car to a NASCAR driver, I swear!

Katherine: *snort* Already losing arguments against him, huh?

***

Madoc: *watching
Star Wars
trailer* Wear a skirt when we go see this, okay?

Fallon: Why?

Madoc: I’ll need easy access. I just got a chubby from the trailer. Who knows what the movie will do to me?

Character Q&A

Q: Jax, since you’re good with computers and finding things out, did you know about Katherine and Jason’s affair before he told Madoc or anyone?

A: You don’t live in the same house with someone and not pick up on things. Whispered phone calls, late night visitor…my brother didn’t care enough to notice, but yeah, I knew what was going on early enough. But I’m not Madoc. When I pry, I’m invisible about it. No one knew I knew.

Q: K.C., why did you have two angel wings with both wings broken tattooed when you told Jax you wanted a set of angel wings with one wing broken? What or who do the broken wings stand for?

A: Before, the set of wings symbolized me and my sister, with me as the broken wing. When I got the tattoo, Jax had made such an impact that it was a spur of the moment decision. Him and I. Both wings broken.

Q: Juliet: why did you never hold a grudge or play harder to get with Jax? I mean, he teased you and dropped you on your butt (embarrassing) and he called you gutless and helpless. I mean he even ignored you; had a party and didn’t tell you, and while at that party was all over another girl knowing you were there. You still always went back never seeming to put up a fight and make him work for it. Or at least make him feel bad for what he’d done. I mean I know you liked him for ages, but why?

A: Never put up a fight? Oh, honey, I definitely called that boy out on his crap. LOL. We were always at each other’s throats! I didn’t hold a grudge, because at first I kind of liked what Jax was doing to me, in a way. Trying to get under my skin and rile me up. He got me mad, he drew me out, he made me feel and react wildly, and it was addictive. I liked what it brought out in me. I needed it. But then at the party, when he treated me badly, I got in his face and finally told him off. The ball was in his court after that. I knew what he was doing and why he was doing it, but I wasn’t going to fight for him again. It was his turn. And four days later, after not looking at him or speaking to him, of carrying on my life and staying strong, he finally realized what a douche he’d been. You may have done differently and never given him a second chance, but I considered him worth it. And I’m glad he’s by my side now. He knows he has family who will be at his side, and I’ve never been this happy.

Q: When Juliet Made The Phone Call Who Did She Call To Get Everyone To Come?

A: I called Tate. In retrospect, I should’ve called 911, but Tate was my first thought. Everyone was at Madoc’s house with her, so they all were alerted.

Q: Katherine and Jason, are you planning to have any children of your own? And how would Jared, Jax, and Madoc feel about being big brothers?

A: It’s possible. We’re both still young enough. And the boys—Madoc and Jax, at least—would have a field day being big brothers. I’m never sure, though, how Jared would feel. I can’t picture a baby in his arms.

Q: Fallon, are you going to tell Madoc that you almost died in a car accident after you saw him with another girl and your dad had to bring you back from destruction?

A: Well, he knows now! Thanks! No, just kidding. Of course, I already told him.

Q: For Jared: what’s your favorite memory of your friendship with Madoc and have you bonded properly with Fallon?

A: I like the weekends when Madoc and I would just hang out in each other’s garages and work on our cars. Madoc is comfortable—one of the few people I’m comfortable with. As for Fallon, I make it a point to NOT bond with my friend’s or brother’s girls.

Q: Juliet, would you let Jax read all your journals someday? And were you serious about Cameron?

A: Yes, as embarrassing as some things were, I would trust Jax with my journals. I doubt he would ever ask to read them, though. He makes it a point to respect my privacy now. And Cameron, I don’t think so. Jax has had a long history with her. I think it would be uncomfortable.

Q: Jared, are you always so rude with K.C. because of what happened between the two of you?

A: I was almost always rude to K.C. no matter if it was before or after the ‘incident’. We’re on common ground now, and I kind of like her.

Q: Madoc, if Fallon was able to keep the baby and you discovered this on your return, what would your reaction have been? And Fallon, if you had carried the baby full term and your evil mother took it away saying the baby died and you discovered your baby was alive, what would you do? And why didn’t anyone kill the Trent father?

A: We would’ve wanted our baby. No doubt. Both of us would’ve loved it crazy. As for Thomas Trent, he’s not worth a glance much less blood on our hands.

Q: Jax, did Fallon inspire your piercings?

A: No, Madoc did.

Q: Ciaran, do you regret not being able to give Fallon away/walk down the aisle with her?

A: Yes, I was pretty fucking mad about that. I’m encouraging them to have a do-over.

Q: When it comes to a great romance story I notice that authors like to split up the couple and allow time for them to grow on their own. When it comes to Tate and Jared, how will Tate get over the idea that Jared left her regardless what the reason is?

A: Once you’ve deemed something unforgiveable, you’ve lost all hope. It all depends on if it was worth it. What kind of man will Jared be when he comes home is what we need to know.

Q: Madoc, when did you figure out Jared had a thing for Tate?

A: As soon as he did the ‘loser’ sneeze in Freshman P.E. when she walked by. Yeah, he was that lame.

Q: I would like to know something about the tattoos. They are crazy and I can’t imagine that you wouldn’t regret them at some time in your life. Like Jared and Tate, for example, who are broken up right now. It must be hard to have these memories plastered on your skin 24/7. Would you disagree and why?

A: Jared: I don’t regret anything. I never want to forget. My tattoos are for me and no one else.

Tate: I only have one little one. It’s a battle scar I’m kind of proud of.

Fallon: My tattoos are crazy? You sound like my mother. Yikes.

Madoc: Mine is crazy only if I break up with Fallon. Which will never happen. But yeah, totally awkward if I did.

Jax: I love mine. Without a doubt, they are badges of the girl who made me who I am. I’m proud of that.

Juliet: Ditto.

Q: What are Jax & Juliet going to school for?

A: Jax: Computers

Juliet: Education

Q: Does Piper regret what she did to Jared and Tate?

A: Not for a second. He was mine when she came back from France. And now that they’re apart….hmmm…

Q: Madoc, are you ready for kids? Boy or girl first?

A: I’m ready whenever. We have plenty of time, and Fallon and I still have more school, but I think it’s something we’ll be great at. And boys…the firstborns are always boys in my family. So we’ll see!
