“So I say we dissolve King Marketing completely, take the losses and write it off because there’s no way to recover from the lawsuits and the tarnished brand.”

“How much was the company purchased for?”

“Two million dollars. After liquidation and everything we’ll lose almost all of that, but it’s for the best. We only have twenty remaining employees of which five actually have work to do at present. The company is bleeding money and it’s unacceptable.”

“You’re renting the building space too?”

“Yes.”

“And the lease ends?”

“Twenty-twenty-five.”

“Why don’t we remodel it? That way my business will have the floor space and I can run my company from the New York office and you can run part of Nox Sawyer Investments from there as well.”

“We can maintain branches in both locations,” Sawyer says. “Jill loves both cities, so she’d like having a reason to come into town.

“I suppose sharing four floors is plenty. We don’t need more than two floors for the firm.”

“You mentioned I needed a team, but I’d like the offices remodeled. I have a decent budget.”

“You’re so cute. Like Lennox would let you pay for any of that.”

“Of course not. Isn’t she adorable?” Jill says, entering the conversation.

We talk about our plans for a little more and Celeste takes a bunch of notes. She works so quickly it’s no wonder she can handle a massive client list.

“So who is hungry because this baby says we need some Christmas Eve pancakes and then us girlies need to do some shopping.”

“Yes, I love that idea.”

“If you think that either of you are waddling outside without us, you are nuts.”

“Aren’t they adorable?” I say.

“So cute.” She pinches Sawyer’s cheek and then he slaps her butt.

“Keep it up and you’ll be waddling for a different reason.”

“Like he needs an excuse to screw you.” I roll my eyes. Since they got here, all they do is screw. I thought we were bad. Okay, we are bad, but apparently, my brother and I are insatiable when it comes to our women.

After breakfast, the girls get dressed and meet us for their shopping excursion. There are four or five little shops around the town and one large shopping center, and the plan is to hit up all of them before we get ready to dance tonight. I’m guessing these little chicks forgot that they’re pregnant. One of them is extremely pregnant. Between the snow and cold, by store number three, Jill’s waddle turned into a limp and their pretty little noses were bright red.

“Girls, it’s time to call it a day.”

“Ah. We weren’t…done,” Jill answers as her voice loses its power.

He closes the gap between them so it’s just the four of us near the vehicle. “Listen to me, little girl. We’re going back to the house and you’re going to take a nap or I’m going to spank your pretty ass,” Sawyer warns her. “My baby girl needs to rest before I take her dancing.” My brother kissed Jill’s temple before he grips her face and roughly slams his mouth onto her lips. Celeste sighs as she watches them.

I look at my woman with a hint of jealousy. Does she find my brother fucking sexy too?

“Why are you sighing?”

“I’m not sighing.” She looks up at me with feigned innocence, eyes round, lips in a partial frown.

“You’re a bad girl. You’re mine. Do you need a reminder?”

“Nope.” She looks away as if I don’t see the look of sadness in her eyes.

“I see what you’re about. I didn’t scold you for wearing yourself down.” She nods, so I continue. “Well that’s because I’m going to punish you later.” I wink at her and help her inside the back seat before loading the bags.

Finally we arrived home and the girls both lay down for a nap and my brother and I hung out for a bit. “Are all the gifts in your car?”

“Yes. My assistant loaded them in when he arrived earlier.”

“He’s really worth his salt, but I don’t want him anywhere near my Celeste. The bastard is good looking as fuck.”

“Tell me about it. Lucky, I keep Jill far away from the asshole because he’s not gay and younger than us. If he steals my woman, I’ll rip his balls off.”

“Like your wife would ever leave you. She’s loved you for so damn long it’s not like she’d leave you. I haven’t secured Celeste to me yet. She still has time to change her mind. I don’t think I’ll ever be sure I won’t lose her.”

“Yeah, well you’re a jackass so it will be hard, so I’d watch out.” I shove my asshole brother and he just laughs before pushing me back. We tussle around before I remind his ass to keep it down.

“Hey, we don’t want to wake them.” We relax, but then my dickhead brother gets one last tag in my arm before rushing off to check on his wife.
