“Watch him,” I order them as I hold up my badge. I then look down at him. “I’m going to get them back. I promise.”
He nods at me, and I head into the maze. My heart is in my throat with worry, but I push it back to focus on what I need to do.
I almost reach the center of the maze when I finally hear her voice.
“Just let my baby go, please,” Lydia begs.
I flip my ball cap backwards so the bill doesn’t give my location away and look around the corner. A wild haired blond woman with fake lips and boobs in threadbare clothes is holding a gun pointed at Lydia. Fucking Deedee Chandler. I wanted her arrested, but they said she needed hospitalization. Michelle is on the ground curled into a ball behind her.
“No, you have two. I have none. If I have one of them, he’ll come back to me,” Deedee says, and my gut tightens. She isn’t going to be easy to talk down.
“Tennessee State police,” I yell. “Put the gun down, Ms. Chandler.”
The gun goes off, and I jump around the column of corn to see Lydia and Deedee rolling on the ground with the gun laying near them. I rush in and kick it to the side as I pick up Michelle.
“That’s enough,” I order as police make their way toward us. Lydia stands up and I see a bruise forming on her face. Deedee has a busted lip and probably a broken nose.
“Don’t ever come after my children again, you crazy bitch.”
I grab Lydia and pull her away. I’m pissed as fuck that she went after Deedee, but I’m also turned on by how she protected her baby this way.
“Let’s go, wild cat, you showed her.” I wrap an arm around her, and we make our way out to where Micah is waiting for us. He has his sister’s bear in his arms, and he is doing everything he can to not cry.

Hours later, after going to the local precinct and answering questions, we are finally able to leave. The kids are both exhausted, so I stop and pick up a pizza on the way to their house.
Every day their house becomes more and more of a home. I spend more time here than I do at my place. Sully is here right now with Kodiak and Princess. In the evenings when I stop by after work, Lydia and I sit on the porch swing and just relax in the calm of the country.
As soon as we pull up, the front door opens and Krystal steps out. Lydia called her brother already and told him what happened. I understand his need to protect her, I want that too, but I can’t afford to pay for her to have private security. I carry a sleeping Michelle into the house as Lydia walks in behind me with Micah, who hasn’t left her side. She’s carrying the pizza.
I want to stay, but I’m not sure she’s ready for me to come unglued on her for risking her safety. I’m not sure she’s ready for me to dominate her in every way. I’m done with the phone sex. I need to touch her body as I come.
I lay Michelle on the sofa in the family room, then I move toward Lydia, who is in the kitchen getting Micah a plate of pizza. I stalk around the counter and right up to her. I turn her around and lean down into her space.
“We will be discussing what you did today soon.” I kiss her softly on the lips before turning to Micah. “Good games today, dude.” I hold out a fist for him to bump and then turn to leave. I’m almost to the door when she is pulling on my arm.
“Where do you think you’re going?” Lydia demands, and I look down at her.
I look around to make sure we are alone and lift her up by her waist. She wraps her legs around me, and I pull her in tight with one hand while the other buries in her hair, fisting it to direct her head. The lights above bounce off the pink in her hair.
“Ly, are you ready for me to show you what you did to me today? Are you ready for me to spank this beautiful ass?” I tap it with the hand holding her to me.
Her breathing picks up and she carefully rocks against me, feeling my hard cock behind my fly.
“Yeah, baby, do that to me,” I growl before I take her lips in a punishing, deep kiss. I push my tongue against the seam of her lips, and she opens for me. I use my fist to twist her head so I can take her deeper.
She moans into my mouth, and I push her into the wall next to us. I continue to plunder her mouth and try to get the image of Deedee having a gun on her out of my head. I could have lost her. When I pull away, we are both breathless.
“I’m ready for you, Maverick.” She pants, and I’m about to carry her upstairs and show her what I mean.
“Rick, will you stay with us so the bad lady can’t come get me again?” a soft, sweet voice says from behind me. She has the same accent as her mother. The one that drops me to my knees.
Lydia chuckles in my arms at us being caught.
“I’ll stay for a while. What about Krystal?”
“You have a gun.” Michelle is quick to point out. She doesn’t know that Krystal has a gun too. In fact, she has a couple. I did a thorough background check on her. She’s far more dangerous with her hands than she is with a gun.
