“Could have won you that ten thousand dollars fromAmerica’s Funniest Videos, I’m sure. Or at the very least, gone viral on social media.”

“Maybe I need to have cameras installed inside to catch the next one.”

“Next one?”

“You know Kevin isn’t going to give up so easily now. He’s the lion and you’re his prey.”

“Shit. Why is he so mean?”

She laughs, shaking her head, her fingers flying across her phone.

“What are you doing?”

“Texting Brooklyn to tell her what just happened.”

In a flash I have her in my arms, yanking her phone out of her hand and holding it out of reach. “We don’t need the entire town knowing about Kevin dominating me.”

That makes her laugh harder. “Oh, yes we do. Maybe I need to get Kevin a little kitty whip so he can really dominate you.”

“You’d like that, wouldn’t you? After tying me up this morning, I’m sure you’ll be bringing out the flogger, too. Need a Red Room also?”

Her breath hitches and she stops fighting me. “Now that’s an idea.”

“I’ve created a monster.” I grin, kissing her.

“Oh, gross.” I hear a deep voice mutter. “Keep it in the bedroom, will ya?”

I look up to see Trotter walking into the kitchen, placing a bag on the counter.

“What are you doing here?” Hadley wonders.

“Bringing our daughter home?”

“I thought you were bringing her home at five?”

“Clearly. Cash, nice to see you again.”

“Trotter.” I nod. “How was Gatlinburg?”

“Great. We have something to talk about with you, Hadley.”

Kevin walks into the kitchen and sees Trotter, hisses at him then at me, and runs away.

“Uh oh,” she mutters.

“Nothing bad,” Logan explains, walking in the house with Brooklyn.

“They want to start a brick oven pizza place in Red Oak,” Brooklyn announces. “Wouldn’t that be awesome?”

“What?!” Hadley exclaims.

“Hi, Mom.” Brooklyn gives her mom a hug and then tells me hello as well.

Kevin returns, acting like a lovely pet to Brooklyn. She picks him up and they touch noses.

“Hey, sweetie. How was your weekend?”

“Awesome. Yours?”
