“I’m not alone. Braden is with me and Colette will be here in a few days. Take care, Oliver.”

“Good night, Delilah. I miss you.”

A tear fell from my eye when I read his last message. I missed him too and I needed him more than ever at this moment. I needed his arms around me, comforting me and telling me that everything would be okay, because that was what I’d done my whole life for everyone else and now, I just wanted someone to be there for me.

Oliver

Scott pulled up to the curb of the small jewelry store in Newark. The bells above the door rang as I opened it and stepped inside. Costume jewelry, purses, scarves, and other accessories lined the walls around the small space.

“Can I help you?” The brunette behind the counter asked.

I was nervous as hell. “Is Kristen here?”

“She’s in the back. Let me go get her.” She smiled.

I walked around, looking at the collection of necklaces and earrings.

“Hi there, how can I help—”

She stopped mid-sentence when I turned around and looked at her.

“Hello, Kristen.”

“Oliver?”

I gave her a smile.

“Oh my God. It’s been what, thirteen years? How are you?”

“I’m okay. How are you?”

“I’m good. I’m doing real well. Thanks. What are you doing here?”

She still looked the same, only a few years older. “I was hoping we could go somewhere and talk.”

She gave me an odd look. “Is everything okay?”

“Yeah. I just need an answer to a question I’ve had for the last thirteen years.”

“Let me grab my purse and we can go have coffee.”

We walked down the street to the coffee shop and took a seat at a small, round table near the window. I gripped my coffee cup and swallowed hard in preparation of the conversation that was about to take place.

“So what did you want to ask me?”

“First of all, I want to apologize for the things I said to you that day before I left.”

“There’s no need to apologize, Oliver. I deserved it.” She looked down and ran her finger around the rim of the coffee cup. “You had every right to say the things you did because what I did was wrong.”

“Why did you do it, Kristen? That’s the question I’ve had all these years.”

“We had talked so much about our future and being together forever that it scared me. We were seventeen, Oliver. We were still in high school, having fun, partying, and breaking all the rules. We thought we were invincible. What seventeen-year-old doesn’t think that? I wasn’t feeling good that day and Jayce saw that I was home, so he came over and one thing led to another. There was a connection between us, something that I’d felt for a while but wasn’t sure.”

“Why didn’t you ever tell me that? Why didn’t you just break things off with me?”

“I didn’t know how to. I was afraid to hurt you and I knew it was wrong. I felt guilty because I felt things with him that I didn’t feel with you. I’m sorry, Oliver.”

As I sat there and listened to her, I fully understood every word she said. That connection. The one that pulls you in so deep, you can’t break it. The connection I had with Delilah was like nothing I’d ever had before, even with Kristen. It took me thirteen years to find that connection with someone.

“Was that the first time you slept with him?”

She nodded her head. “Yes. After you stormed out of my house and told me you never wanted to see me again, I wanted to run after you and tell you that you’d be okay and that one day you’d see that I wasn’t the girl for you. You are okay, right?”

I gave her a small smile as I reached across the table and placed my hand on hers. “Yes, Kristen. I’m okay. You ended up marrying him, didn’t you?”

“Yeah. We dated for a while, broke up, and then a year later, we got back together. We got married when I was twenty-two and we’re still going strong. How about you? I don’t see a ring on your finger.”

“Nah. I never bothered with marriage because I hadn’t found the right girl. I do have a daughter, though. She’s five and her name is Sophie.” I pulled a picture of her up on my phone and showed her.

“She’s beautiful, Oliver. She looks a lot like you.” She smiled.

“Thanks. Her mother passed away a while back and she’s living with me full-time.”

“So you’re a single daddy.”

“Yeah. It took some getting used to at first. How about you? Do you have any kids?”

“No. I’m not able to have any, so Jayce and I are looking into adopting.”

“I’m sorry to hear that, but adoption is good. There are many children out there that need loving parents.”

She gave me a small smile. “I better get back to the shop. I don’t want to leave Holly there alone too long by herself.”

We got up from our seats and walked back down to the jewelry store. “It was nice to see you again, Kristen.”

“It was good to see you too, Oliver. I hope you find that special someone.”

“I already have and she’s amazing. Take care and good luck with the adoption.”

“Thanks.”

I climbed into the limo with a feeling of contentment. Now it was time to open my heart and tell Delilah how much I loved her. I just hoped she could find it within herself to forgive me and give us a chance.

As soon as I got back to the office, I called Liam to come in.

“What’s up, bro?”

“Sit down. I need to talk to you.”

“Sounds serious? Everything okay?”

“It will be, I hope. I went to Newark and had coffee with Kristen.”

His mouth dropped. “What? Why did you do that?”

“I needed to know why she cheated on me.”

“Did you get the answer you were looking for?”

I smiled. “Yes, I did, and it’s time for me to move on. I’m going to fly to Boston to see Delilah and to make sure she’s okay.”

“How do you know she’s in Boston?”

“We did a little bit of texting back and forth last night and she said she couldn’t talk because her brother Braden was sleeping in the bed next to hers. She only has two brothers, so it would be Tanner that was in the accident and he’s attending college in Boston. Now, I just need to find out which hospital he’s at.”

“They won’t give out that information,” Liam spoke.

“Then I guess I need to pay a visit to the one person who would know.”

“Jenny?” he asked.

“Yep.”

“I’ll leave tomorrow morning. I also need you to hold down the company and, if you could, please spend some time with Sophie.”

“No worries. Your daughter and our company is in good hands.”

“Thanks, little brother. I owe you.” I smiled.

Chapter 32

Delilah

Braden left yesterday morning to fly back to Chicago to start his internship. I spent the day at Tanner’s bedside, talking to him and playing my guitar. His roommates and Addison stopped by to see him and sadness filled the room. There was a waiting room full of college students showing their support for him. I was touched, but not surprised. Tanner was always the popular kid and everyone loved him.

It was now day three. I walked into his room and opened the curtains so the sun could shine in.

“It’s a beautiful day today, Tanner. I really would like for you to see it.” I walked over to him and fluffed his pillow. “Braden starts his internship today and he’s really excited about it, but he feels really bad that he had to leave. I told him not to worry about it because I was here to take care of you just like when you were younger. Colette called last night and her flight was cancelled due to some tropical storm that’s brewing over Florida right now. She’ll be here as soon as she can get out and she sends her love. You should see the waiting room. It’s filled with all of your college friends. They’re being so supportive and want you to get better soon. I talked to the police yesterday and they’re doing everything they can to track down the person who hit you.”

I stood over him and ran my hand down his swollen cheek. “You will recover from this. You’re not giving up because I won’t allow it.”

I grabbed my guitar and sat down in the chair next to his bed. “I stayed up last night and learned to play your favorite song. Let me know what you think.” I began to strum and sing, “I Will Follow You into the Dark.”

Oliver

I stood in the doorway of Tanner’s room and watched the love of my life sing to her brother. The feeling that ripped through me was euphoric. I had missed her and seeing her again was like seeing her for the first time. Her voice, her heart, and her gentle soul radiated throughout the room. My insides twisted at the thought that she’d be pissed I was here. I didn’t call. I didn’t text. I just showed up because she needed me whether she believed she did or not. She had said she loved me and I knew she still did, or at least I hoped she did. This was no longer about lust. This was about love, something I deeply wanted with her. She finished her song and then got up and kissed her brother on the cheek. She looked over and an expression of shock swept over her face.

Delilah

“Oliver. What are you doing here?” I asked in shock, wondering if this was a dream.

He stepped inside the room. Walking over to me, he stopped within inches and stared into my eyes. “I’m here because you shouldn’t have to face this alone.” He ran his thumb down my cheek and, instantly, I began to cry. I buried my hands in my face so as not to embarrass myself, because when I saw him, everything that I had held back came rushing out. He wrapped his arms around me and held my head against his chest as I uncontrollably cried.

“It’s okay, sweetheart. Let it all out. You don’t have to do this alone anymore. I’m here and I’m not going anywhere.” He pressed his lips against the top of my head.

The tears kept flowing and I couldn’t stop them. It felt so good to be held by him. To feel safe and wanted. I couldn’t think about the things he said. We’d discuss that later, after I finished my breakdown. Once my sobbing started to slow down, I apologized.

“I’m sorry.” I wiped eyes.

“There’s nothing to be sorry for.” He reached over on the table, pulled a few tissues out of the box, and gently wiped the tears from my face.

After blowing my nose, I looked over at Tanner and then back at Oliver.

“This is my brother, Tanner.”

“How’s he doing?”

“He’s stable now, but he’s still in a coma. The doctors have no idea how long he’ll be like this. But he’s a fighter and he’ll pull through.”

“Of course he will.”

“I can’t believe you’re here. What about Sophie?”

“Sophie is in good hands with Clara and Liam.”

“And your business?”

“My business can wait. Right now, making sure you’re okay is my top priority.”

“But—”

He placed his finger on my lips. “No buts. Where’s Braden?”

“He started his internship today back in Chicago. He flew out yesterday.”

“And your sister?”

“She’s stuck in Florida because of a tropical storm. All flights were cancelled. She’ll be here as soon as she can get out.”

“Then it’s a good thing I’m here. Have you eaten?”

“No.”

He pulled me into him. “Let’s go down to the cafeteria and see what they have. The food on the plane wasn’t very appetizing.”

I let out a light laugh. “Believe me, the cafeteria isn’t any better.”

As we ate breakfast together, we talked about Tanner. I explained everything that happened the night of his accident. Then curiosity got the best of me.

“How did you know I was here? Wait, don’t answer that. Jenny told you, didn’t she?”

He took a bite of his bagel and smiled. “It took a lot of persuasion, but she finally told me.”

“What kind of persuasion?” I asked with a sly smile.

“We can talk about that later. Where are you staying?”

“The Holiday Inn down the street.”

He narrowed his eyes as he looked at me. “Really?”

“Yes, really. I can’t afford high-end hotels, Mr. Wyatt. The Holiday Inn is just fine.”

He chuckled. “Well, it’s not for me. I’m a hotel snob and I have no shame in admitting it. Would you like to stay with me, in my suite, at the Fifteen Beacon, which is literally .5 miles down from the Holiday Inn?”

“A suite, you say?”

“Yes. A suite. A big suite that is too big for one person. It’s the kind of suite that needs to be shared with someone special.” He smiled.

“I’d like that.” I bit my bottom lip and I could feel myself blush.

“I was hoping you’d say that.” He reached across the table and took my hand, interlacing our fingers. “I missed you, Delilah.”

“I missed you too.”

As we got up from our seats, I grabbed the tray and Oliver took it from my hands and set it back down on the table. Smiling at me, he placed his hand softly on my cheek, then his lips gently brushed against mine. Heat coursed through my body and I smiled.

“People are staring.”

“Who cares? Let them stare. I’ve missed those beautiful lips and I’m not waiting another second to kiss them.”

After our small and passionate kiss, we went back to Tanner’s room. As happy as I was that Oliver was here with me, I was confused by his sudden change. We spent the rest of the day by Tanner’s bedside. I played my guitar while Oliver made some phone calls.

“Let me know when you’re ready to go to the hotel,” he spoke.

It was already eight o’clock and I was feeling drained. “I guess I’m ready now. It feels so much later.”

Taking my hands in his, he interlaced our fingers. “That’s because you’re exhausted.”

We walked out of the room and down to the Holiday Inn so I could grab my things and check out. When we walked into the room, I noticed Oliver looking around.

“It’s not that bad.” I laughed.

“No, actually, it’s not.”

He helped me gather my things and I shoved them in my suitcase. After doing one last check to make sure I hadn’t forgotten anything, I checked out and we walked down to the Fifteen Beacon.

“Here we are.” Oliver smiled as he opened the door.

I walked into the room and was blown away, not only by the size, but by the beauty of it.

“Wow. This is beautiful and it’s certainly no Holiday Inn.”

Oliver chuckled. “No. It isn’t.”

He set my suitcase down and I turned to him, wrapping my arms around his waist and laying my head against his chest. I wanted him. I needed him and my body craved him. He kissed the top of my head and held me tight.

“Delilah, we need to talk.”

“I don’t want to talk, Oliver.”

He broke our embrace and placed his hands on each side of my face. “We can talk after I make love to you. But I want to say something first.”

His eyes were locked on mine and I could see the passion in them.

“I love you, Delilah. I’m in love with you and I need you.”

My lips formed a small smile and elation rushed through my body. “I love you too and I need you more than you’ll ever know.”

Chapter 33

Oliver

I let out a sigh of relief when I heard those words come from her. She still loved me and I was the happiest man on earth. To be loved by such a beautiful woman and soul was a gift from God, a gift that I wasn’t sure I still deserved. My fingers gripped the bottom of her shirt and I carefully lifted it over her head. She stared at me intently as I unbuttoned my shirt and slid it off my shoulders. She placed her hand on my heart and smiled.

“You never had a heart of stone. It was just a little broken.”

“And now, it’s fully healed again because of you.” I brushed my lips against hers and I reached around and unhooked her bra. My hands instantly latched onto her breasts as my tongue entered her mouth and met with hers. She took down my pants and ran her hand against my hard ****. I moaned with pleasure because it felt so good to be touched by her again. I needed to feel her and pleasure her. I wanted her to get lost in me and forget about everything else for a while. I unbuttoned her pants and slid them off her beautiful hips along with her panties so she was standing fully naked in front of me. She let out a soft moan as my tongue slid across the flesh of her neck and my hand made its way down. Dipping my fingers inside her and feeling how wet she was excited me even more. I turned her around and laid her face down on the bed, massaging her shoulders and back as my mouth explored every inch of her, right down to her perfect ass.

“That feels so good,” she moaned.

“I want you to relax, Delilah. Let me take care of you.”

After massaging her backside for a while, I turned her over and smashed my mouth against hers before traveling to her breasts and taking each hardened nipple in my mouth. I felt like I was about to explode and my **** hadn’t even touched her yet. I spread her legs wide as I buried my head inside her thighs, flicking my tongue against her clit and dipping my fingers inside of her. Her back arched and her moans heightened. She was already about to come. Sucking her deeply and moving my fingers in and out of her sent her over the edge as her fingers tangled in my hair and she gave in to her orgasm. Her heart was racing and her skin was heated. I moved up and hovered over her, staring into her happy eyes.

“No more condoms. I fully trust you, Delilah. I want you to know that.”

The corners of her mouth curved up as she pulled me down and passionately kissed me as my **** rested between her legs. Grabbing hold of it, I thrust inside her and we both gasped. Her legs wrapped around me as I buried my **** deep inside of her. I wanted to stay like this forever and I was never letting her go. I moved in and out of her at a rapid pace, enjoying her warmth and the pleasure she gave me. I sat up and held on to her hips as I moved in and out, watching the gratification on her face as I ****ed her. My thumb pressed on her swollen clit as she was ready to climax again. Her body tightened as she threw back her head, calling out my name as she released herself to me. I closed my eyes as I felt the wetness rush like a wave over my ****. I pulled out and flipped her over. Spreading her legs and taking hold of her ass with my hands, I moved in and out of her and the pressure built and I was about to come. Her ***y moans and her telling me to go faster and harder sent me over the edge as I pushed as deeply as I could inside her with one last thrust and filled her insides with my come. The heat between us was undeniable and coming inside of her without a condom was the best feeling in the world. Once I finished, I lowered my head and my lips pressed against her back. When I collapsed on top of her, she reached her arm back and stroked my face with her hand.

I climbed off of her and pulled her into me. I didn’t care about cleaning up; I just wanted to hold her in my arms.

“I love you,” I whispered to her again. Words I never thought would be so easy to say were with her.

“I love you, Oliver.”

We stayed wrapped up in each other for a few moments until I asked her if she would like to take a bath. I started the water and climbed in while she twisted her beautiful hair up with a clip. She climbed in and pressed her back against my chest as I wrapped my arms around her.

Delilah

Safety and comfort resided in me as I softly ran my finger around his arm.

“There’s something I need to tell you,” he spoke.

I looked up at him as his lips lightly touched mine. “What is it?”

“I had coffee with Kristen.”

“Who?” I asked in confusion.

“The girl I dated back when I was seventeen. I guess I never mentioned her name to you. I’m telling you this because I don’t ever want any secrets between us.”

“Why did you see her?”

“I needed to put closure on what had happened and I needed some answers. Answers I never gave her the chance to give me back then.”

“Did you get those answers?”

“Yes. I was already in love with you and I knew it. I just needed to put the past behind me.”

“I’m happy and proud of you, Oliver.”

His grip around me tightened. “You are the most special person in the world, Delilah Graham, and I’ve never felt this way about anyone before, not even her. I was young, stupid, and thought I was in love, but in reality, I wasn’t and it wasn’t until you walked into my life that I discovered that. You and Sophie are the most important people in my life and I’m never going to let either one of you go. So prepare yourself because you’re mine forever.”

“I like that idea.” I smiled as I tilted my head back and he kissed me.

“Good, because it’s time that someone takes care of you and that’s what I intend to do. I will take care of you and make sure that your needs are fully met and fulfilled. I don’t ever want to see you unhappy or sad.”

His hard **** pressed firmly against my back. I turned around so I was facing him and sat up, pressing down until he was deep inside of me. His ***y lips curved into a smile.

“Wow. I didn’t expect that,” he moaned.

“Prepare yourself to always be surprised, Mr. Wyatt.”

The next morning, as we were getting ready to go to the hospital, my phone rang and it was a face time call from Liam.

“Hi there.” I smiled into the phone.

“Hey, good looking. How are you?”

“Hi, Delilah!” Sophie appeared with a big grin on her face.

“Hi, baby. How are you?”

“I’m okay. How’s your brother?” she asked in her sweet voice.

“He’s still in the hospital, but he’s going to be okay.”

“Good.”

Oliver walked up behind me. “Good morning, princess.”

“Hi, Daddy. Why are you in the same room with Delilah?”

“Umm. Well, I just came to get her because we’re heading to the hospital now.”

“Oh, okay. I just wanted to say hi. Uncle Liam is taking me to the museum today. I’m so excited!”

“That feels so good,” she moaned.

“I want you to relax, Delilah. Let me take care of you.”

After massaging her backside for a while, I turned her over and smashed my mouth against hers before traveling to her breasts and taking each hardened nipple in my mouth. I felt like I was about to explode and my **** hadn’t even touched her yet. I spread her legs wide as I buried my head inside her thighs, flicking my tongue against her clit and dipping my fingers inside of her. Her back arched and her moans heightened. She was already about to come. Sucking her deeply and moving my fingers in and out of her sent her over the edge as her fingers tangled in my hair and she gave in to her orgasm. Her heart was racing and her skin was heated. I moved up and hovered over her, staring into her happy eyes.

“No more condoms. I fully trust you, Delilah. I want you to know that.”

The corners of her mouth curved up as she pulled me down and passionately kissed me as my **** rested between her legs. Grabbing hold of it, I thrust inside her and we both gasped. Her legs wrapped around me as I buried my **** deep inside of her. I wanted to stay like this forever and I was never letting her go. I moved in and out of her at a rapid pace, enjoying her warmth and the pleasure she gave me. I sat up and held on to her hips as I moved in and out, watching the gratification on her face as I ****ed her. My thumb pressed on her swollen clit as she was ready to climax again. Her body tightened as she threw back her head, calling out my name as she released herself to me. I closed my eyes as I felt the wetness rush like a wave over my ****. I pulled out and flipped her over. Spreading her legs and taking hold of her ass with my hands, I moved in and out of her and the pressure built and I was about to come. Her ***y moans and her telling me to go faster and harder sent me over the edge as I pushed as deeply as I could inside her with one last thrust and filled her insides with my come. The heat between us was undeniable and coming inside of her without a condom was the best feeling in the world. Once I finished, I lowered my head and my lips pressed against her back. When I collapsed on top of her, she reached her arm back and stroked my face with her hand.

I climbed off of her and pulled her into me. I didn’t care about cleaning up; I just wanted to hold her in my arms.

“I love you,” I whispered to her again. Words I never thought would be so easy to say were with her.

“I love you, Oliver.”

We stayed wrapped up in each other for a few moments until I asked her if she would like to take a bath. I started the water and climbed in while she twisted her beautiful hair up with a clip. She climbed in and pressed her back against my chest as I wrapped my arms around her.

Delilah

Safety and comfort resided in me as I softly ran my finger around his arm.

“There’s something I need to tell you,” he spoke.

I looked up at him as his lips lightly touched mine. “What is it?”

“I had coffee with Kristen.”

“Who?” I asked in confusion.

“The girl I dated back when I was seventeen. I guess I never mentioned her name to you. I’m telling you this because I don’t ever want any secrets between us.”

“Why did you see her?”

“I needed to put closure on what had happened and I needed some answers. Answers I never gave her the chance to give me back then.”

“Did you get those answers?”

“Yes. I was already in love with you and I knew it. I just needed to put the past behind me.”

“I’m happy and proud of you, Oliver.”

His grip around me tightened. “You are the most special person in the world, Delilah Graham, and I’ve never felt this way about anyone before, not even her. I was young, stupid, and thought I was in love, but in reality, I wasn’t and it wasn’t until you walked into my life that I discovered that. You and Sophie are the most important people in my life and I’m never going to let either one of you go. So prepare yourself because you’re mine forever.”

“I like that idea.” I smiled as I tilted my head back and he kissed me.

“Good, because it’s time that someone takes care of you and that’s what I intend to do. I will take care of you and make sure that your needs are fully met and fulfilled. I don’t ever want to see you unhappy or sad.”

“Oh, okay. I just wanted to say hi. Uncle Liam is taking me to the museum today. I’m so excited!”

“That’s wonderful, Sophie.”

“Bye, Delilah. Bye, Daddy. I love you.”

“We love you too, princess.”

I heard Liam tell her to go get ready so they could leave. He took the phone from her hand and his face appeared on the screen.

“So, is everything okay with the two of you?” he asked with a wide grin. “Judging from the ripped apart bed behind you, I’d say things are really good.”

Oliver rolled his eyes. “Yes, things are good. We’ll talk later. By the way, if you’re taking Sophie to the museum, who’s taking care of the company?”

“The company is fine, Oliver. We’re going to the museum and then Sophie’s coming with me back to the office. Clara had some family thing to do today, so I’m spending the day with her. Don’t worry about a thing.”

“I’m not worried. Thank you, Liam, and have fun.”

“Bye, Delilah.” He smiled and kissed the screen.

I laughed.

“If you do that again to my girlfriend, little brother, I’ll hurt you in more ways than one.”

Liam laughed as he ended the call. I reached up and gave Oliver a kiss. “I like being your girlfriend.” I smiled.

“Good, because I like being your boyfriend. Nothing gives me more pleasure. Well, except when I bury my **** deep inside that beautiful ***** of yours.” He winked.

Instantly, I was aroused and aching for him. I wrapped my hand around the back of his neck. “We have about ten minutes. Show me how fast you can pleasure me.”

He growled as he took down his pants and I took down mine. He pushed away everything that was sitting on the desk and lifted me up on it. “Have you ever had *** on a desk?”

“No.” I bit down on my bottom lip.

“Good. Enjoy the ride, Miss Graham.” His grin widened as he thrust into me.

Chapter 34

When we walked into Tanner’s room, Oliver took a seat in the chair to check his emails and messages.

“Okay, Tanner. It’s a beautiful day again today and I don’t want you to miss it. You are to wake up and see the sun shining. Do you understand me?” I spoke harshly as I opened the curtains. I froze.

“Always telling me what to do,” I heard his voice say in a whisper.

Oliver jumped up from his chair and I slowly turned around to see Tanner staring at me. “My head hurts, sis.”

I ran over to him and began to cry. Oliver left the room to get the nurse.

“Oh my God, you’re awake.” I leaned over and lightly hugged him.

“It was your nagging voice.” He tried to smile.

The nurse came running in and Oliver followed behind.

“Nice to see you awake, Mr. Graham,” the nurse spoke as she took his vitals.

“Thanks. It’s nice to be awake. My head hurts really bad and so does my leg.”

“I’ll get you some pain medication right now and I’ll call the doctor.”

Oliver walked up behind me and smiled at Tanner. “Glad you’re okay, buddy.”

“You must be Oliver,” he whispered.

I looked at him strangely. “How did you know?”

“I just know.” He stared across the room. “Hey, sis.”

I looked over at the doorway and Colette and some guy walked in. I ran to her and gave her a hug. “He just woke up.”

“Thank God.” She let out a sigh of relief as she walked over to his bedside.

“Hi, you must be Delilah. I’m Corey. Colette’s boyfriend.”

“Nice to meet you, Corey. I didn’t know Colette had a boyfriend.” I looked over at her.

“I haven’t had a chance to tell you yet.”

“This is my boyfriend, Oliver Wyatt.” I smiled with delight.

“I didn’t know you had a boyfriend.” She smirked. “Isn’t he your boss?”

“Yes. Yes he is.”

Oliver extended his hand to both of them.

“Hey. Can you all keep it down? My head is throbbing.”

The nurse walked in and pushed some pain medication through his IV. “There you go. You should start to feel some relief any minute now.” She smiled as she patted his arm.

****

A few days later, Tanner’s con***ion was improving and Colette and Corey flew back to Florida. As our bodies were tangled in each other, Oliver kissed the side of my head.

“I need to talk to you about something.”

“What is it?”

“I spoke with the doctor last night before we left and he said that Tanner is stable enough to be transferred to Mount Sinai Hospital in New York. Once his head injury is fully healed, we can bring him home with us and I’ll make sure he gets the best possible care, including the best physical therapy for his leg.”

“Oliver, I don’t know what to say.”

“Say yes and let’s go home.”

“I would love that, but we have to talk to Tanner first.”

“I already did last night and he said he wants to go. The doctor said he can be transferred tomorrow.”

I sat up and looked at him, the sheet dropping from my naked body. “Tomorrow? Really?”

His eyes raked over my body and fixated on my breasts. He brought his finger up to my nipple and softly traced around it.

“Umm. I’m sorry. What did you say? Oh yes. Tomorrow. We’re going home tomorrow.”

I laughed as I took the pillow and hit him with it. He sprang up and grabbed it from my hands. “I haven’t had a good pillow fight since me and Liam were kids.” He chuckled as he hit me with it. I grabbed his from underneath him and the two of us behaved like children, on our knees hitting each other with pillows, except we were completely naked.

“Stop,” he commanded.

“What’s wrong?”

“Watching your breasts bounce up and down like that is driving me insane.” He grabbed the pillow from me and threw me on my back, hovering over me as he smashed his mouth to mine. “I need to **** you right now.”

“Stop talking,” I commanded as my breath hitched between kisses.

Oliver

We took our seats in first class and Delilah looked around as she made herself comfortable in her seat.

“Is something wrong?”

“No. I’m just taking in the luxury of first class.” She grinned.

“You’ve never flown first class before?”

Her grin disappeared as she shot me an “are you stupid” look. “No, Mr. Millionaire. I have never flown first class. Need I remind you where I came from?”

“Sorry.” I took her hand and brought it up to my lips. “I happen to love where you came from.” He winked.

“I’m so happy to be going home. I wish we could have flown in the helicopter with Tanner.” A distressed look swept across her face.

“I know, but we’ll arrive at the hospital just shortly after him. I think we need to talk about something.”

“What?”

“We need to discuss our sleeping arrangements when we get home. I don’t want Sophie—”

She placed her finger on my lips. “Don’t worry about Sophie. We’ll figure something out.”

“I want you in my bed. I don’t want to sleep alone ever again, but we need to be careful where she’s concerned.”

“Sophie is an extremely intelligent child. We’re going to have to talk to her and tell her what’s going on with us.”

“I know and I don’t know how,” I expressed.

“We’ll talk to her together.” She laid her head on my shoulder.

Even though Delilah didn’t seem too worried about Sophie, I couldn’t help but be concerned about how she would feel. Delilah was right; Sophie was highly intelligent and that was what worried me.

The plane landed and Scott drove us to Mount Sinai, where Tanner was already situated in his room. We spoke to this attending doctor and I was going to make arrangements for a physical therapist to come to the house. I had a small room off the foyer that was unfurnished and never used for anything. I arranged for a decorator to come and turn it into a bedroom for Tanner since he couldn’t walk up stairs. It would be perfect for him because everything he needed was on the first level. After spending some time with him, he ordered us to leave.

“You have to get home to Sophie. You’ve been by my side since the accident and I’m eternally grateful for that, but I’m not a child, Delilah. I’ll be fine here. Just make sure you visit.” He smiled.

She took his hand. “I feel bad for leaving you here.”

“Don’t be. Go home to that little girl. She needs you now. I have my cell phone right here. We can face time later.”

We said our goodbyes and Delilah stepped out of the room. Before I walked out, Tanner called to me.

“Yeah.” I turned around.

“Thank you, Oliver. Not only for what you’re doing for me, but for what you’ve done for Delilah. She deserves to be happy.”

“You’re welcome and I love your sister very much.”

****

As we walked up the steps, the front door flew open and Sophie came running outside.

“Delilah! Daddy!” She threw her arms around both of us.

“Hello, princess.” I smiled as I kissed her head.

“Hi, my little ray of sunshine.” Delilah bent down and swooped her up. “I missed you so much.”

Liam was standing at the door, smiling at us as we walked inside.

“Hello, my favorite two people in the whole world.”

“Bro.” We hugged.

He leaned over and gave Delilah a kiss on the cheek. “I’m glad you’re back. How’s Tanner?”

“He’s doing better. The doctor said he can probably come home in about a week.”

“Good to hear.”

Delilah put Sophie down as Clara walked into the foyer to greet us.

“Welcome home, Delilah and Mr. Wyatt.” She smiled as she hugged us both.

It was good to be home. I took our bags up to my bedroom. Clara prepared a late dinner for us and, after we ate, Delilah and I took Sophie upstairs to have a talk with her. After Delilah helped her into her pajamas, the three of us sat on the bed.

“There’s something we need to talk to you about, princess.”

“Is it bad?” she asked.

I softly smiled as I pushed her hair behind her ear. “No, sweetheart. It’s not bad.”

“What is it, Daddy?”

I looked at Delilah and she nodded at me. “You know how you love Delilah?”

“Yes.”

“Well, I love her too and the three of us are going to be spending a lot more time together and we want to know how you feel about that.”

She looked at Delilah and then back at me. “Are you and Delilah boyfriend and girlfriend?” she asked with innocence.

“Yes, we are, princess.”

“Does that mean you’ll be sleeping in the same bed?”

I swallowed hard and looked at Delilah. She took Sophie’s hands.

“Yes, Sophie. I will be moving my things into your daddy’s room and I’ll be sleeping in his bed.”
