a good idea for you and Niel. I want the m ole to tell your sister that I’ m on her team. If I were to target you both it may bring that faster. No fucking way am I testing Devlin. Punishments in private are one thing. But he would have to punish me the way the membership thinks is appropriate. I have queue of people waiting to kick my ass.”
“ What’ s your plan anyway?”
“I really don’t care about the mole. I want an in with Adelaide- don’t do that creepy chant,” I say before his lips move. He chuckles and his breath tickles the side of my face.
“I think I alre ady know who the mole is and I’ m close to figuring out why. I’m sure they are only doing it because of blackmail. I don’t blame them. I’ve done horrible things for the sake of my family. We need to know who’ s pulling your sister’s strings. ”
“I agree. It’s all I think about. I don’t really want anything bad to happen to my sister. It’s just a way for the kids to blow off some steam while we fight the unknown. I don’t like knowing that Ade’s name is on that book. She didn’t write it. She loves a few of the people it slandered, ” he says softly.
His fingers brush my arm and I jerk in surprise. My eyes drift shut as he plays with the hairs on my fore arm.
“You can confide in me if talking about it will help.” He says as he sta res at the side of my face.
“Do you have several priests? Because talking about it may lift me some, but in the end I’m still going to hell.”
He rolls on his side and settles his hand on the center of my chest. I look at him in surprise. God, he’s so warm- his hand is burning a hole through my shirt. My lashes flutter from the comfort.
“I’m sure you had to do whatever you did. If it was to save another life it w ill be forgiven, ” he promises.
I turn my fac e to the side and look him dead- on. This is the most intimate moment of my life. I’m lying on the grass in the park cuddled up with someone I’ m actually attracted to. I’m sure when reality sets in it’s just a figment of my imagination, but for now I cherish it.
“Your lo oks suit you,” he whispers. He’ s gazing at me fondly just as his nephew did earlier, but it has a different weight to it.
“I kept imaging what you’d really look like.” H e sighs deeply, “My imagination wasn’t good enough.”
“Why do the Daniel Whittenhowers of the world keep looking at me like that?” I smirk at him and turn my face away from his. I watch the clouds even though every nerve in my body is in tune with the man cradled on my side.
“ Not all- You haven’t met my father yet,” he says with amusement. “ Why did you have sex with Queen last night?” He asks abruptly.
“Why did Ella call you Dad?” I ask just as abruptly.
“My question first,” he commands.
“Why do you care? You don’t answer my questions, why should I answer yours?” I try for defiant, but it comes out teasing.
“ Niel and I were raised as brothers, but I’ve always been his father. I am Ella’s father in all the ways that matter. I’m the only one she’s ever known. They’re the two most important people in my life and that’s saying something since I have some incredible people in my life,” he says seriously.
“Lucky you,” I mumble.
“You do too, Dalton. You have more people who care for you than you know,” he says softly. His eyes heat the side of my face. He watches every thought I have flash across my face. He’s using our dominance training against me again.
“Why are you looking at me like that,” I blush underneath his gaze.
“ You’re gorgeous and I can’t stop looking at you. Niel is my cl osest confidant. I’m sure he’ s channeling my thoughts. That’s why he kept looking at you like that. Y our turn, why Queen? ”
“Are you trying to seduce me?” I ask incredulously.
“I wasn’t aware I was merely trying. I thought I was succeeding.” He rises up on his elbow and looks down at
