Amelia lifted her head up and looked at them. “Well, the night is young.” She lifted up and began to climb off of Brody. Murphy wrapped an arm around her waist then pulled her into a cradle position in his arms.
“Not so fast, little one.”
He set her down onto her feet, pulled her into his arms, and kissed her until she was limp.
He would have to learn how to accept Amelia’s independence, like she was going to learn to accept his authority. But, a little voice inside his head hoped that every little challenge ended like this one. In the bedroom, making love.
Chapter 15
Amelia’s cell phone rang first thing Monday morning. She saw the caller ID with Ricky by her side.
“It’s Toby. Probably telling me that I’m fired.”
“Answer it and see,” Brody whispered from the other side of her. Murphy and Waylon were already up and downstairs. The trainers and Waylon’s agent were on their way over to the gym she had yet to see. That would be a whole other thing to face.
Ricky caressed her hip as she sat up.
“Hello.”
“Amelia, it’s Toby. Are you okay?”
“Yes.”
“I heard about what happened. I’m so sorry. If you need a few days off, please take them. We’ll cover for you.”
“You mean, I still have a job?”
“Why the hell wouldn’t you? You were attacked. He could have really hurt you or worse. I know my son. He and I aren’t exactly on good terms. I’ve tried my hardest to get him the help he
needs, but he’s refused time after time. This was the last straw.”
“But, he came to see you at the hospital. You seemed friendly.”
“Polite, in front of you. The envelope was money he said he needed to fix his truck, so that he could accept a construction job. Turned out, the money was to support his drug habit. He was high you know, when he attacked you. The police said he was drunk, too. Toxicology reports say heroine. Can you believe that? Please say that you’ll come back here. We need you.”
“Well, I need the job. I’ll be there.”
“Well, take a few days. Just be sure to make it to the barbeque next weekend. After all, you’re in charge of it and sure did raise a lot of money. The families are going to love it.”
“Okay. How about I see you tomorrow.”
“Whenever is good for you.”
She disconnected the call, closed her eyes, and released a long sigh. “Still have a job?” Brody asked.
“Yes, I do.” She explained about Tucker.
“Damn guy needs help,” Ricky said as he got up from the bed.
“He does. Maybe I should go in today.”
Brody wrapped an arm around her waist and hoisted her backward. He maneuvered over her and between her legs. “Not so fast.”
He covered her mouth and kissed her. That kiss grew deeper and soon she was thrusting her hips against his very engorged cock.
He released her lips. “Ricky can make us breakfast, while I teach you a little bit about household rules.”
“Household rules?”
