Chapter Eighteen
Graham stood beside Alastair and Blake as they stared out at the women.
“What are you going to do with Hope, Blake?” Alastair asked.
“Keep her.”
Graham snorted out a laugh.
“Hey, asshole. You both did the same thing,” Blake said.
Graham grinned. “You’re right.”
“How’s it going with Faith?” Alastair asked.
“I think she’ll settle in all right. It will be better when all the girls are here,” Graham said.
“I agree with that.”
“How are you and Beth?”
“We’re fine. I was shocked that she thought I’d let her go or want another woman, but the girls get insecure sometimes. I just spent several hours with her, holding and fucking her until she saw the truth.”
Blake laughed. “Are you going to marry her?”
“Yes, and soon. I think that will help with her insecurities.”
“Does she know?” Graham asked.
“About as much as Faith knew,” Alastair said.
“So, not at all?”
Alastair grinned. “Nope.”
“Who do you think will want the last sister, Angelica?” Graham asked.
“I think Duncan,” Alastair said. “I catch him staring at Beth and me with an envious look on his face.”
“I’d bet on him too, even though he said he’d never marry after what happened a few months ago,” Blake said.
Graham nodded.
“He’ll fight it,” Blake said.
Alastair nodded. “Probably. We’ll just let fate do its thing.”
Graham snorted even though he finally understood what Alastair had been telling them for eight months about knowing Beth was his from the start.
“I’m going to take Beth up for a nap before dinner.”
Blake chuckled. “Is that what they call sex now?”
Alastair grinned, opened the French door, and walked outside. “Beth, baby. Let’s go nap.”
Beth hugged the woman and walked to Alastair.
“Faith. Come to me,” Graham said and held out his hand.
“I guess that means you’re taking a nap, too?” Hope asked and grinned.
“I’d get the grin off my face if I were you. I see Blake right behind Graham.”
“Oh, shit.”
“Yup.” Faith walked to Graham and took his hand.
“We’ll be down for dinner,” Graham said and pulled her back into the house.
“Are we really taking a nap?” she asked.
“Maybe a little one.”
He closed and locked their bedroom door behind them before he pulled her into his arms. “Are you happy?”
She nodded. “Yes. Thank you for bringing Hope here.”
“We’ll get the other two soon.”
“I know.”
“I need to be inside of you.” He pulled her clothes off and then his own before he lifted her and laid her on the mattress.
She raised her arms. “Yes.”
