Obligation (Underground Kings #2)(72)
“Yum.” I smile, and he shakes his head.
“You owe me a cake,” he whispers.
I feel myself squirm at the word cake. Since having the house to ourselves, Kai has a lot of cake, and—lucky me—normally, I’m the plate he prefers.
“Daddy, come play with me!” our son Maxim shouts as he squats down in the sand in front of a castle he’s working on.
“Yeah, Daddy! Come help us!” Melanie shouts, and I notice that she is, once again, naked.
“Go on, Daddy,” I tell him, pressing into his side.
He turns towards me, where I’m sitting on the ground, and gets on his knees. Then he wraps his hand around the back of my head as he lays me back in the sand, taking my mouth in a kiss that steals my breath the same way he stole my heart.
“Love you,” he whispers then jumps up, walking over to the kids before I can reply.
I look at my husband and my babies and thank my mom and dad, wherever they are. I know that it’s because of them I have all of this.

Sven and Maggie’s story
I wake up with my head pounding, the feel of a bare leg over the top of mine, and a hand wrapped around my breast. I open one eye and close it immediately when I see dark, golden hair, a nose, and lips I know too well. Sven I try to recall last night, but my whole memory is blank. My heart starts to beat more rapidly as I notice that I’m completely naked—and so is the man asleep on top of me.
“What have I done?” I whisper as I recognize that the space between my legs is sore and wet.
Tears fill my eyes as I realize that the thing I promised myself I would only give to my husband has been given to a man who has had more partners in and out of his bed than he can even count. And the worst part is that I don’t remember anything.
