“Please.” His ice-blue eyes are pleading with me. “All I can think about is fucking you right now, but you’re out of your goddamn mind if you think any of this could be easily forgettable for me.” He shakes his head, running a palm over his disbelieving face. “I think I’m ruined by simply watching you come, so please, do me a favor and go to bed.” Fixing my shirt, he gives me one last quick kiss. “And for the love of God…lock the fucking door.”
No, but your brother won’t stop sending me selfies of him and Max, asking if I want to come over and play house with him.
“Well, I’m not sure what it would look like, but you’d be there and every time we were alone, your clothes would magically disappear right off your body. It’ll be my first request when I get into my heaven. In fact, it’ll be my favorite part.”
“Well,” I say, pulling out the folded paper from my back pocket. “I did a little research.” “You did a little research?” she asks with a laugh. “Did you also print out your MapQuest directions to get here, old man?”
“I was going to knock because I’m about to be selfish.” Stepping forward, I cross the threshold between her room and mine, recognizing the metaphor of it all. “For once, I’m going to take what I want.” The corner of her lip lifts in a dangerous grin. “Finally.”
“Needy, Mills?” “Yes,” I whine. “I’ve touched myself so many times thinking about you.” His brows lift with interest. “In my house?” “Right on the other side of the wall from you. That night, after the kitchen, I got myself off again just from replaying it in my mind.”
I drop to my knees, palms grazing his body until they land on his thick thighs for support. And dear God, my hands look tiny on him. Kai looks down at me, all big and towering. “What are you doing?” “I’m praying.” Finding the button on his pants, I unzip. “What the fuck do you think I’m doing?”
“Mm-hmm. Gold star lips.” He tilts my chin up, meeting my mouth with his. “The way you felt on my fingers, I’d say you’ve got a gold star pussy.” He finds the hem of my shirt, pulling it over my head before unclasping my bra with a single flick. His eyes go wide, shaking his head in disbelief. “Jesus. And gold star tits.” My hands run up the length of his thighs. “I also give some gold star head.”
“Lick those pretty lips of yours and open your mouth.”
“This is all I had to do to shut you up?” he continues. “Lick this pretty cunt to get you to stop talking?”
“Mmm,” he hums, vibrating my entire core. “Yes, baby. Suffocate me.”
“How long have you been keeping that in your back pocket?” I ask. “Been carrying one with me since the night we went out in Texas.” “After that night, you mean?” “No. I slipped one in my wallet before we left for the bar.” My brows lift. “For me?” “It’s always been only for you.” Oh.
“You think that’s going to help you?” Shit. “You think you’ll be able to keep yourself detached because you’re not looking at my face while I fuck you?”
“Well, it doesn’t matter if you see me or not. You’re going to feel every inch of me. I’ll be so deep, you’ll be able to feel me in your fucking throat, and I can promise you, Miller, your body won’t let you forget me.”
“So good, Miller. You feel perfect.” I try to ignore the sharp stretch. “Gold star pussy?” He chuckles again, but this time it’s light with amusement. “No question in my mind. Gold star pussy.”
“You’ve been like poison this summer, you know that? Seeping into my system and ruining me slowly.” I moan, lifting my ass to meet him in pace. “Pretty. Fucking. Poison.”
“This is why you have Max,” I somehow say. “I’m fairly certain you’re fucking me right past my birth control.” “Miller.” He halts his movements. “That’s an inside thought.” “I don’t have inside thoughts.”
“I’d really appreciate it if we steer away from talking about me knocking you up while I’m rearranging your insides.” I raise an impressed brow. “Yes, Daddy.” “Jesus Christ.”
Kai pulls his fingers from me before bringing them to his mouth and licking them clean, all while staring right at me through the mirror. “God, you taste good.” “Who the hell are you and where did this version come from?” With a single hand, he reclasps my strap. “Been here the whole time. Just forgot what it was like to enjoy things for myself.” A knock sounds at his door again. “And I’ve never enjoyed something as much as I enjoy you.”
“Oh my God, did you…” Isaiah drifts off. “Hot Nanny! Why is my brother smiling like an idiot?”
“Thanks for hanging out with me, Bug. Kai, I’m so damn proud of you.” “Please shut up.” The door closes, but I can still hear Isaiah in the hall. “Miller, I know you’re in there, and I’m proud of you too, girl!”
“You fucked Ace.” My mouth drops as Kennedy takes a seat on the table across from me. “How did—” “Oh please. That guy is walking around here today like his shit is made of gold. It’s obvious something happened between you two. Besides, he’s been pining after you since you got here.”
I give him a thumbs-up. “Good luck out there.” Yes. Very casual. Nice work, me. “Did you just give me a thumbs-up?” I do it again as if it’s not the lamest thing I’ve ever done. “Yep.” “I was literally inside of you less than twenty-four hours ago and you’re giving me a thumbs-up?” I choke on my saliva as an arrogant smirk lifts on Kai’s mouth. “Well, as I said, good luck tonight. I hope you have some…gold star pitching.”
“I promise I won’t text you to check on Max between innings, but if you want to text me about how good my ass looks in my baseball pants, I wouldn’t be mad about it.”
“I never get my groove back. I’m never able to create a high-end dessert again. My waitlist of chefs dump me and I never get hired again. I’m forced out of the industry and end up working in the bakery department of a grocery store, decorating cakes for Karen’s retirement party, but then of course, she fucking complains because the purple frosting isn’t the right shade of violet. So, I cuss her out because there are worse problems in the world than her frosting leaning more eggplant than violet, causing me to get fired from there too and now I’m living in my dad’s house and sleeping on his

“You should fuck me, Kai. That’d be a good distraction from my stress.” “I don’t have a condom.” “I don’t care.”
“I know you don’t want her to leave, so why are you helping her do just that?” Well, shit. There’s no way to answer that question without him figuring out just how fucking deep I am. I sink into the chair again with a heavy sigh. “Because it’s her dream, and I care about her too much to not help her chase it, even if that means I won’t be there when she gets everything she’s worked for.”
“Miller, I don’t think you’ve been just a nanny to anyone in that family,” Kennedy says.
After knocking on Ryan and Indy’s door, Rio is the one to answer. “I thought this was a girls’ night?” He pops his shoulders. “It is.” “Are Ryan and Zee out of town?” “Yeah, they’re in Indiana for the night, picking up a crib that Zee’s dad saved for him.”
“Do you want help taking off your make-up?”
“Mills, you already are mine. Even if I haven’t been allowed to show you, you’ve always been mine.”
“Well, to be fair, you thought I was a lunatic when I first got here.” “Sorry to break it to you, but I still think that.”
“How are you so fucking tight? And so goddamn wet.” We lay together, me inside of her but not moving other than our erratic breathing. “I do a lot of pussy exercises, so that’s probably it. Gotta keep her in shape.” I laugh into her hair. “Please, for the love of God, shut up.”
“Goddamn,” I exhale, shaking my head in disbelief. “I’m fucking obsessed with you.” Her smile lifts. “As you should be, Malakai.” I nod downward. “Put your mouth on it.”
“Go do what you’re best at so we can get these people out of our house.”
There’s no part of me that wants to be in the kitchen. I only want to be with them.
Today is Miller’s birthday and it started just the way I wanted it to—with my face between her legs.
Miller tends to tell people she loves them through the food she makes, so I figured since I wasn’t allowed to tell her, I’d show her in the same way she does. As I said, I’ve turned into a fucking sap.
“Toss your hair over your shoulder like that again, will you. It’s giving me flashbacks to a much happier Miller with a mouth full of my cock.” Finally, the smallest, most discreet smile pulls at her lips. “Jesus,” I chuckle. “That’s what gets you to smile? Am I going to have to fuck the attitude right out of you, or what?”
“Put me down, Rhodes. You haven’t run the bases once in your entire career. Stop acting like you know what you’re doing.”
“You know, sometimes I look at him and get irrationally mad at you because you were with another woman before me. The audacity you had not to think of me then, you know?”
“Are you not going to ask her to stay because you don’t want her to feel obligated or because you’re afraid she’d say no if you did?” he finally asks.
“I’ll speak from experience. She doesn’t feel obligated to your son, so don’t let that thought cross your mind. She loves him in the way I love her.”
“She’s not my blood, but she’s my girl,” Monty says from beside me. “And she looks at your boy, who is not her blood, in the same way I look at her. I’ve seen it all summer. I watched her fall in love with two people at the same time, and it reminded me of myself when I met her and her mom. She won’t be able to just walk away from that, regardless of if you ask or not.” Monty finally looks my way, eyes welling with unshed tears. “I know I couldn’t.”
“You’re irreplaceable, Miller. No one else will ever be the Hot Nanny.”
“What I’m trying to say is that my brother deserves the world and for him, you are the world.”
Happy Birthday, Miller. I love you. Love, Max
“Mmm…Mama.”
“Mama.” Max grins, so proud of himself for saying a name I now realize he’s been trying to say for weeks. “Mama! Mama!”
“I see the way you are with him,” he continues. “How much confidence you give him just by being there for him. How much you love him. Trust me, I know how fucking scary it is for someone to view you that way, and tomorrow when you go, I’ll start straightening that out for him, but it’s not because you’re underserving of that name.”
