She glared over her shoulder at him. “Release me.”
He let go of her pants. “Why are you getting involved?”
“Because she’s screwing up the best thing that ever happened to her…more than once. I don’t know exactly how many times it happened to her but she needs to know he cares for her not me.”
“What?” Luka was confused.
“This wasn’t the first time they were together.”
“Hey Sky, try this on for me,” he said lightly like he had the smartest idea in the world. “Let them work it out.”
“No.” She glared at Luka. “Ramona will screw it up.”
Luka looked confused. “Why do you think that?”
“Because she’s a Bradford. That is why? Did I do such a good job? I kept you from your daughter.”
“You got me.” He threw both hands up in the air. She started to walk to the door. “Sky,” he grabbed her arm this time pulling her back. “I still think you should let them work it out.”
r /> She growled at him. Then she yanked her arm out of his grasp and marched back to the porch. Luka just shook his head and followed her. Ava was still waiting for them. “You aren’t fighting are you?” She asked them concerned.
Skylar bent and hugged Ava. “No baby, we aren’t.”
“Good. I really want Daddy to stay at the house Momma and for you two to get along. Please understand.”
“I do. You’ve been apart long enough. He can stay in the room next to yours that used to be Ramona’s.”
“We’ll be one big happy family,” Luka told them. Skylar glared at him.
“Thank you Momma.”
Skylar kissed her daughter’s cheek. “I love you Ava. I just want what’s best for you.”
She released her and Ava went to Luka who was right behind them. “Daddy, you’ll be staying at the house with me and Momma.” Her daughter was so excited, Skylar wished she could feel the same but she felt nothing but dread that he was going to be so close. Too close.
He scooped her up in his arms, tossing her over his shoulder causing Ava to giggle. He carried her in the house holding her tight while Sky held the door for them. She went in behind them and sat on the sofa between Dalton and Stellan where she had been sitting before.
Brett was still stewing and Ramona was still flirting with Michael. Luka put Ava on her feet and took her hand, they went to the kitchen to see if Luna needed help. “So is he moving in with you?” Dalton asked.
“Apparently,” Skylar replied.
“Seriously?” Brett leaned around Dalton to look at Skylar.
“Ava wants him there,” Skylar said in response.
“I’m sure that’s it,” Brett replied.
Ramona snorted. Both Skylar and Brett turned to look at her. “What is your problem?” They both said at the same time.
“Oh nothing,” Ramona replied with a smirk on her face as if she knew something that they did not.
Luna stuck her head in the living room. “Dinner’s ready.” The timing couldn’t have been more perfect. The hostility in the living room was getting out of hand.
Dalton stood and extended his hand to Skylar. She took it and he pulled her from the couch. Then he wrapped his arm around her shoulders. She was letting him guide her to the dining room when she heard Ramona. “One wasn’t enough Sky? You need the attention of three or maybe all five Shaw brothers?”
Skylar turned on her heel and glared at her sister. “Outside right now.”
“Fine,” Ramona snapped.
