They both stared at him like he’d lost his mind.
The thing was . . . he’d lost it a long time ago. Back in Russia, in an alleyway, when his own flesh and blood ordered him to be beaten. Something in him died that day. Twisted, become warped.
Still, both of them loved roasting marshmallows.
“No marshmallows?” he queried, shocked.
“He’s joking, right, Brody-bear?” Autumn asked.
“I . . . can’t tell. But yeah, he has to be. There’s no way he’d harm the Iron Shadows members. He really does care about them.”
He made a scoffing noise. “Fine, yes, I care about them. I won’t hurt them.” Because it would hurt his sweet girl, his Pup, and his Bunny.
But he had no real attachment to them . . .
And what about your brother?
Well, he’s not one of them, is he?
And your niece? Her fiance?
Fuck. Why was he thinking of these people? They weren’t his family. His family was standing in front of him, waiting to receive their spankings.
His family wasn’t an Ex-Russian Pakhan and his daughter.
No.
Nope.
Not happening.
It was all these Thanksgiving invites. They had him all twisted up, not knowing which way was up and what was down.
That had to be it.
“Daddy? Are you okay?” Autumn asked.
“It’s all these invites. I’ve never been invited to Thanksgiving or Christmas before.”
“Oh.” His Bunny’s face filled with sympathy, which he didn’t like. There was no reason to pity him. He was the greatest assassin the world had ever seen. He was an amazing Daddy and Papa. And a fantastic lover.
Oh, and did he mention rich and criminally good-looking?
Nope, no reason to pity him.
“You know what the problem is?” he said.
“Um, no, Papa,” Brody said. “What’s the problem?”
“I’m just too likable.” He sighed. That was it. “I’m the person everyone wants at their party because I’m so damn charismatic. I make a party. Without me, all they’d have is a sad little gathering. Yep, that’s it.”
“That’s right, Daddy,” Autumn said loyally.
“Sure,” Brody said. “But if you do accept any of the invites, then you have to promise not to harm anyone who annoys you.”
He sighed heavily. “Back to this, huh?”
“Just think about it like this, Papa, if you harm anyone who annoys you at the, uh, parties, then are you going to be invited back?” Brody asked.
“Of course I am. I’m the life of any party.
“Have you ever been to something like this?” Autumn asked gently.
“What? A party? I’ve been to many.”
“As yourself?” Brody asked.
He didn’t like where they were going with this. He could feel himself closing up.
“Daddy, I know you won’t really hurt anyone who annoys you,” his Bunny said.
“Why do you say that?” he asked.
“Because you didn’t harm that sales lady at the toy shop the other day and I could tell she really annoyed you.”
“Ahh, that bitch,” he drawled.
“Papa!” Brody chided. “Language.”
“It’s just the truth. She was a bitch.”
“But you didn’t hurt her,” his Bunny said.
“Didn’t I?” he asked.
Her eyes widened. “What did you do?”
“Hmm, well, I didn’t harm her physically. But no one gets away with talking to my Bunny the way she did. I did a bit of research into her and guess what I found . . . not only was she cheating on her husband, but she was doing it with her boss. That bitch got kicked out by her hubby and fired when upper management was sent videos of her blowing her supervisor in the soft toy section of the store.”
“Eww,” Bunny said, screwing up her nose. “I hope I didn’t touch anything that they did.”
“You didn’t. The things they did there were disgusting.” He shuddered. “I had to sanitize myself after taking that video.”
“She really was a bitch, Tutu,” Brody added. “She deserved what she got.”
“You knew?” she asked Brody.
His Pup shrugged. “Sure. I talked the Fox out of broadcasting their sexcapade on the shops PA system.”
“I forgot about the children,” the Fox said. “No need to scar them for life. So I had Brody anonymously send the video to upper management and they took care of it.”
“You guys did that for me?” she whispered. “Because she was rude to me?”
“Nobody messes with my Bunny,” he told her protectively.
“Yeah, no one,” Brody added fiercely.
“Take off those tights and your tutu from around your ankles then come here,” he commanded.
She managed to slip off her tights and tutu without falling over.
The Fox held out his arms. At the last moment, he reached down to cup his balls and cock.
He heard Brody let out a small laugh. But best to protect himself. She’d been known to take him down with one misplaced knee.
The Fox gathered her in against him, kissing the top of her head as she wrapped herself around him, her legs straddling his.
Brody slid his pants off his feet, then came and kneeled in front of him, cuddling in close to her back.
