“Do you really expect me to just leave my wife right here?”
“Yes, I do. It’s extremely important; she has her guards with her. Trust me, she’ll be fine.”
“I’ve got him, sir,” Rocco says.
“What is this all about?” My father’s temper is evident on the line, so I let it out.
“Dad, your wife isn’t who you think she is.”
“Are we on this again?”
“Dad, there are three things that you are right now, and I need to know which one they are: you are clueless, a fool in love, or complicit. And I need to know the truth. Either way, someone’s going to get hurt.”
“What the hell are you talking about? Just give me a fucking straight answer.”
“One of your wife’s six ex-husbands tried to kidnap Summer today. She gave him access to my house, but not before notifying someone that he was coming to get her.”
“Did you just say six ex-husbands?” he gasps, the news sinking in.
“I thought you knew.”
“I thought she had two ex-husbands.”
“I tried to warn you.”
“She’s having my baby.”
“Dad-” He cuts me off.
“Oh God. Please don’t tell me there’s something else.”
I hate to break his heart, but he needs to know the truth and let this woman go. “She’s not pregnant.”
“What?”
“According to my investigator, she had a hysterectomy years ago.”
“That fucking bitch. I’m going to kill her,” he thunders.
“Rocco, make sure he doesn’t do anything crazy.”
“What about Summer?”
“She’s not going anywhere, dad.”
“What do you mean? I thought you’d want to get rid of her as soon as you got rid of her mother.”
“I’m never getting rid of her, and there’s no way that you can take her away from me now that you’ve brought her into my life.”
“At least one good thing came out of meeting that bitch. I hoped when I left her there, you two hit it off.”
“Was that your plan when you left her here?”
“An old man can hope.”
“So can this young man. I’m sorry it didn’t work out for you, Dad.”
“So am I. I’ll be there to see you both as soon as I can get away from this she-devil. My lawyers will have a field day with this.”
I ended the call with my father and checked in with Rocco via my investigator’s phone. I have the all-clear that he has removed my father from the area and will be bringing him back home alone.
Now to get some answers from my future wife because she’s not completely innocent in this charade even if she was forced to participate. She could have come clean at any time when she was alone with me. She had four days and let me inside her without a word about her wicked mother.
My lawyer comes to the house and meets with us. It takes over an hour to go over everything, and when I finally send him off, I can see that Summer’s worn out. “Let’s go lie down.”
“Do I look that tired?”
“A little. Besides, I was robbed out of holding you this morning.”
Chapter Six
Summer
The sun set hours ago, but Drake’s nowhere in sight. I’m in his bed in just my panties and a tee shirt. I slip out of the bed and look for him. There’s no sign of him in his office or in the kitchen, but then I look in my favorite part of the house. He’s in the pool, doing laps. Smiling, I step outside and watch.
Drake’s broad shoulders move through the water in powerful strokes, breaking the surface with such grace and strength that my body buzzes with desire. I press my thighs together, heatedly eyeing him. He’s only in a pair of blue swim shorts that fit his muscular legs just right. They’re not overly baggy or skin-tight like professional swimmers. Still, that massive bulge in the middle is undeniable.
“Stop watching me like that, Summer or more than your pussy is going to be wet.”
Unafraid of his threat, I grip the hem of my blouse and lift it off, tossing it onto the lounger. “You need to work on your threats.”
“The fact that your tits are on display for any of my staff to see is about to get your ass spanked and your throat fucked.” I cover my chest quickly, looking around.
“We’re alone. Sloane is the only one around and he’s in for the night. Now, get in the water before I come get you.” I free my breasts and then launch myself into the pool’s deep end. He’s quick and has me in his arms before I can surface. I gasp and feel his thick cock on my thigh. “Bad girl.” Drake’s hand cups my breast, squeezing it roughly. “Showing off my tits. God, you got my dick so hard, I’m going to nut too quickly the first time.”
He pins me to the side of the pool with his mouth on my throat, kissing and licking my pulse. My heels dig into his trunks, tugging them down his ass while my hands roam all over his strong biceps. We rock in the water as he slides us down to the shallow end, leading us to the steps. Once I find my bottom on the top step, he smirks. “I have you just where I want you.”
