Shameless (Enemies to Lovers 5)

Epilogue

(Ten years later… )

I glare at Carter until he finally gives up and looks at me.

“I’m not happy about this either,” he snaps. “Go glare at Della. She’s the one who said yes.”

“You’re Danny’s father,” I say. “You should’ve put your foot down.”

“Oh yeah? The same way you put your foot down when Evie allowed Jade to have a sleepover and she ended up inviting a boy?”

Did he have to remind me?

“Fuck, that night I didn’t sleep at all. Trust my kid to have a boy for a best friend.” I smile at Carter. “We should have chastity belts made for our girls. Miss Sebastian can bedazzle them.”

“I can bedazzle what?” Miss Sebastian asks as she walks into the living room.

“Chastity belts,” I say, and when Miss Sebastian’s brow furrows, I add, “For our girls. You know, to protect them from all the little ding-dongs out there.”

Miss Sebastian shoves her fists into her sides and glares at each of us.

“Now listen here, my chunk of hunks. My little princess is excited, and I will not have you ruin her first prom. You’re all gonna behave, or I’ll have your ding-dongs in a bedazzled vise before this night is over.”

As if on cue, we all cross our legs to protect our manhoods from a bloodthirsty Miss Sebastian.

“Good. I’m glad we got that sorted.” She looks at us expectantly, then frowns. “I swear, the older my chunk of hunks get, the less common sense you have. Does it take more brain power to keep your ding-dongs working?”

“Did you have too much wine?” Marcus asks her.

Miss Sebastian gives him a glare that should have him shooting up daisies.

“Darling, don’t go pushing my buttons. I’ll switch to bitch mode before you can make a run for the door.”

Marcus glances at me and pretending to cough, we all try to hide our smiles behind our hands.

“Get your sexy asses up!” She shrieks. “She’s ready and waiting to come down the stairs.”

“Why the hell didn’t you say so in the first place?” Carter growls as he shoots out of the chair.

We all rush after him and form a half-circle at the foot of the stairs.

“Princess?” Carter calls when there’s no sign of Danny.

The next moment we only see a pair of bright blue eyes peeking at us from behind the wall.

“Are you all ready? I’m only doing this once,” Danny calls out.

Yeah, she takes after her father.

“They’re ready, Princess,” Miss Sebastian calls out.

When Jaxson’s phone starts to ring, and he reaches for it, Miss Sebastian slaps him upside the head.

“Don’t even think about answering that call,” she hisses.

Rubbing the back of his head, he whispers, “I wasn’t going to. I was turning the damn thing to silent.”
