With a shake of my head, I looked back at her as I stopped at the door to our bus. “Ashley, he has a reputation for being fast in and out of the car. Do you really want someone like that?”

The smirk that spread across her face caused me to start chewing nervously on the inside of me cheek. “Trust me, there is one thing Malcolm Wallace is not fast at. He is very slow and very very good at it.”

I made a gagging motion as I looked away. “Oh, gross.” Turning back to Ashley, I gave her that look only a mother gives. “You better hope Emmit doesn’t find out you and Malcolm have been . . . um . . . doing . . . ah . . . well um.”

“Fucking?”

Thud.

There went my heart.

Now I knew the truth. I was sucked into this and as soon as Emmit found out I knew about it, he was going to be pissed.

“Oh God. I think I’m about to be sick.”

Opening the door to the bus, I jetted in as Ashley laughed. Taking Landon from my arms, she motioned for me to go away. “Let me spend some time with my little man here. Why don’t you go lay down or something?”

I jerked my head back and made a gasping sound. “Go lay down? What the hell? I’m not tired.”

“Well, I want to spend some time with my nephew.”

“Ash, I think we should talk about Malcolm. It’s not safe, you sleeping with him. I mean, doesn’t it bother you there was some girl waiting outside his bus for him?”

Looking lovingly down at my son, Ashley shook her head. “Nope. We’re just enjoying each other, Adaline. That’s it. It’s purely a physical thing and I like it that way.”

Ashley headed back toward the bedroom as I rolled my eyes and grabbed my Kindle as I sat down on the sofa. It would be awhile before Emmit was finished with all the press and stuff. I might as well enjoy a good book while Ashley was here.

It didn’t take long for my eyes to start closing and the words on my Kindle to grow blurry.

The smell of Emmit’s cologne caused me to stir as I realized I was being carried. Opening my eyes, I looked around. “W-where are we?”

Emmit grinned as he looked down at me. “At a hotel.”

“Landon!” I said as I became fully awake.

“Is with your parents. Tonight it’s just you and me, baby.”

My lower stomach pulled with desire as I thought about a solid night of nothing but Emmit. “But, we’ve never left Landon alone with anyone before, Emmit. He’s only two-months old!”

My body vibrated as Emmit laughed. “I’m pretty sure your parents know how to take care of a baby. You survived, didn’t you?”

Stopping at a double door, Emmit balanced me and held a key card up to the black pad, causing the door to click. With a quick push of his foot, the door swung open and revealed a beautiful hotel room.

“Oh, Emmit. Where are we?”

Emmit slowly lowered me, making sure I felt his blooming desire. “The Carillon Hotel and Spa.”

I took a moment to look around the suite. It was amazing. The modern décor was sleek and romantic. The soft music playing was coming from the TV that was mounted over the fireplace, which was lit.

I turned back to Emmit and smiled. “Just you and me?”

Emmit pulled his T-shirt over his head, revealing his broad muscular chest. My stomach felt as if I was on a roller coaster ride as it dipped and swayed each time Emmit’s muscles moved as he walked.

Placing his hand on the other side of my face, I couldn’t help but notice how the fire between my legs flamed. Emmit had a way of doing that. Igniting the most amazing feelings within my body. We didn’t have to be making love for it to happen. It could be something as simple as his eyes searching for mine in a crowd. Or the way he cradled our son to his chest after giving him a bath and reading him a story. The way he placed his hand on my lower back to lead me into a room. That’s what his love did to me. Ignited my body in a million in one different ways.

As his other hand cradled my face, Emmit smiled. “Always you and me, Addie. Forever.”

I’M GOING TO HELL.
