Page 4 of Vows of Conviction
“Did you eat?”Nick asked before he kissed Eve's cheating lips.
“No, we wanted to get home as soon as possible.I'll make something now.What do you want?”she asked, right before letting out a big yawn.
Nick chuckled and kissed her forehead.“I'll make something.Go shower and change.You smell like the hospital.”
Well, I guess that was better than smelling like sex with Carlo.
Giselle spoke up, “You and Carlo go ahead.I want to eat before I make the trek upstairs.”
Dani crossed her arms and pouted.“No, I want you to stay with me,” she told her father.
“Dani, we were going to go out and see the horses, remember?Come with me.We'll get some carrots, and you can feed them,” her uncle Stefan suggested, saving the day.
Dani's eyes and mouth went wide—and suddenly all was forgiven.“Can I go see the horsies?”she asked her father.
He laughed and kissed her one more time before setting her down.“Mind your manners.And listen carefully.”
She laughed and yelled, “Okay!”as she ran over to her uncle.
“We'll handle everything down here.Go.”Nick gave his wife one more kiss before he walked over to Giselle.He wrapped his arms around her, and they hugged.“You had us worried,” Nick whispered.
Giselle sighed as they rocked side to side.“I'm sorry.”
I left them and wandered into the kitchen to start cooking.The kids were all fed, so they should be okay for a while.I hoped.
After I yanked everything out of the fridge, I started making a fruit salad.It didn't take me long.Then I remembered I'd bought a spice that I wanted to try in the scrambled eggs.
Nick and Giselle seemed to have everything under control, so I hurried upstairs to find the spice.There wasn’t time to unpack all the bags last night.But I was sure it wouldn't take me long to find the small spice bottle.
I turned left at the top of the stairs and made my way into the bedroom.Once I was in the closet, I started rummaging through each of the bags, but I still couldn't find what I was looking for.Then I remembered that the spice table had been right beside where I'd picked up the onesie I bought for Giselle.It was just a tiny jar.It might have gotten missed in that bag.I stood and headed down to Giselle and Carlo’s room.I listened at the door but didn't hear any noise.So—I knocked gently.There was no answer.So, I knocked again.
Still no answer.
I slowly opened the door and peeked my head around.“Carlo?Are you in here?”The unmade bed was empty, and I heard the water on in the bathroom.He must be in the shower.It wouldn't take me long to find the bag and grab the spice bottle.He wouldn't even know I'd been in here.I shut the door behind me and walked in.
Halfway into the room, I heard a giggle.
And I stopped in my tracks.
“Wider, Eve.For fuck's sake.I said wider,” Carlo's deep, bossy voice boomed from the bathroom.
“Okay, okay.”Eve laughed again.
“That's it,” Carlo said sharply.I heard footsteps, but it didn't register until it was too late.
Well, almost too late.
Luckily, the closet door was open.And I was right beside that closet door.Thank goodness I had the sense to slip inside so nobody could see me.
A naked Carlo came out of the bathroom—with a naked Eve over his shoulder.
Holy.
Crap.
She laughed as he tossed her onto the bed.“You're not going to be giggling in a minute, Eve.I'm going to fuck you so hard the only thing that mouth is going to do is scream my name.”
Eve smiled and spread her legs for him.
