We have the whole night to do whatever her little heart desires. Our kids are tucked away for the night. Teddy and my wife left for dinner while West and I hung back to feed the kids, then put them to bed. We wanted them to have their girls’ night out at dinner and still be able to beat them to the club.
We are all in the city this weekend. It’s something we try to do as much as possible. I gave West and Teddy one of the empty floors of my building to use when they left the island. That way they could be nearby but still have their own space.
All of our kids are close. We already have two, and I know more will be on the way. Both Teddy and my wife enjoy having a tight-knit family; they want it to grow. I found that I did too. It was so different from the childhood I had. I never thought a family of my own was in the cards for me. Willa changed all of that.
Willa and I have a similar setup when we go back to the island at the estate. Rich had gutted the wing of the estate their father once claimed, taking it over for himself. That had given us room in the other wing so there was space for not only us but also our children. The place is big enough for everyone. Willa always says that it finally feels like a home now.
Hell, not only has West grown on me, but so has Rich, who is gone more often than not. We all have fucked-up childhoods in our own right. Now we have come together to give our children what every child in this world should get, providing them with happiness and unconditional love.
Then again, there might not be many men like West, Rich, and me. The type that are willing to toe the line in the gray areas. To do the wrong thing for the right reasons. It’s all a balance, and I wouldn’t change one thing in my life because in doing so, it would mean never having found Willa.
I’d bet my life West would say the same, and so would Rich, but that’s his own story to tell. I just don’t think he ever thought of himself as being the hero, but that all changed the night he saved his runaway little mermaid, fishing her right out of the ocean.
I watch my girl do a spin, making her dress flare up all around her, showing off more thigh than she knows I’d be okay with. That’s my cue. She’s ready for me to come and get her.
“I’m going down,” I tell West.
“Thank fuck,” he half-growls, following me out of my office and down the stairs.
I might be able to keep the men away from my wife, but that doesn’t keep them from watching. I was okay with a few teases, but I also can only take so much. It isn’t only my jealousy but my need to touch her myself. To have what no other man would ever know.
The crowd parts for me as I make my way across the club. Willa does another one of her spins; I swear, she senses me stalking closer because when she comes to a stop, she’s facing me, a smile tilting up her lips.
“You’re trying to get someone killed,” I tell her, my hands coming to her full hips. My girl has always been tiny, but her pregnancies made her hips fuller, and I love holding on to them. To feel the change my body did to hers. She’s even more beautiful now.
“I’ve missed you.” My princess lifts up on her toes to kiss me. I lean down, meeting her more than halfway to claim her mouth and show her how much I missed her too. She pushes her sweet little body into mine, her hands gliding up my chest to around my neck.
In one quick move, I have my girl in my arms, carrying her back through the crowd and up to my office. Willa kisses and sucks at my neck the whole way. I don’t stop until we’re back in my office with the door shut and locked. I carry her over to the window overlooking the club before I put her down on her feet and strip her of her clothes.
“I had to watch you up here.” I spin her around to see out. “Getting me all worked up, Princess.”
“I’m sorry.” No, she’s not. Willa spreads her legs farther, leaning forward, offering herself to me. That’s my girl. Always mine from the start, letting me take. God knows she’s taken all of me.
“Liar.” I nibble her neck. A small giggle bubbles free. I know that she’s had more than a few drinks.
