“Iz, little girls don’t stand around naked.”

“Well, you told me to wait in the bathroom, Daddy.”

I shook my head and laughed at her. “Do you want Uncle Conner to see your hinny?”

She giggled. “No way!”

“Well then you need to not walk around with no clothes on. Boys aren’t supposed to see your girl parts.” I checked the temperature of the water before lifting her into the tub.

She swished the water around and looked up at me. “Daddy, you look at Mommy’s girl parts. I saw you do it before.”

I was a pretty tan guy, but I actually felt the color of my face changing to a bright red. I cleared my throat and sat the seat down on the toilet, so I could think about what to say. “Iz, Mommy and I are adults and we are married. When you get to be a grown up and you fall in love…….”
Oh shit! I was fucking this all up.

I walked out into the hallway. “Miranda, can you come in here? I need you.”

She met me in the hallway. “What’s wrong?”

I got close enough, so that our daughter couldn’t hear us. “I was trying to explain to Iz that she shouldn’t walk around naked and that she needed to cover her girl parts. She wants to know why I like to look at you when you’re naked.”

Miranda covered her mouth to contain her laughter. “So, what did you tell her?”

“I started to say something, but I think it’s a mom kind of conversation, don’t you?”

She shook her head and walked into the bathroom with me. “I think you are a chicken shit.”

I smacked her ass before we both stood over the tub looking at Iz, playing with her mermaid doll. “Mommy, Daddy says that I can’t show my girl parts, but you do it all the time. How come?”

Miranda looked at me and smiled, before looking back to Iz. “Sweetie, little girls can’t show their girl parts. You can’t show your girl parts until you get married.”

“So Daddy never saw your girl parts until you got married?”

“That’s right,” Miranda lied.

It would have been too easy for the conversation to end at that. “Well, do you like looking at Daddy’s boy parts?”

Miranda rubbed her belly and I had to stick my fist against my mouth to keep from busting into laughter.  “Why do you want to know?”

She shrugged. “Well, I know Daddy looks different than us.”

Miranda looked shocked, like she was going to scream. “And how do you know that?”

“Noah showed me his boy parts before. He said that all boys look like him. How come we can’t stand up when we pee pee?”

Of course my wife turns to me for help. I leaned against the bathroom door and took a deep breath. “Iz, girls and boys have different parts. Little girls are too pretty to stand up when they pee. God wanted you to be comfortable when you had to go potty. Boys are tough so we have to stand.”

Miranda took her hand and smacked her face, shocked at my answer. I threw her a wink. “So God thinks girls are pretty?”

“Yes, he thinks you’re beautiful. Now get washed and get out before you turn into an ugly prune.” Miranda stood up and walked me out into the hallway. “Really? God wants us to sit when we pee? You know she is goin’ to tell her teacher that.”

“It’s better than her talking about you staring at my dick like it’s a bedtime snack.”

Miranda kept walking, while shaking her head. I followed behind her and sat down on the couch. My dinner was cold again, but I didn’t care. I was starving.

While I ate, she continued to watch me. “You want a bite?”

“I’m goin’ to bite somethin’.”

“Want me to lift my plate up, so you can get started?” A large pillow came at my head. Since I was eating, I didn’t have time to protect my face.

“You pull it out and just see what I do to it, smart ass.”

The truth was that I was getting hard just imagining her mouth on it. I was trying to chew my food up, but my focus was now on my cock. Miranda got up from the couch and left me sitting there alone.

“What do you want to drink, babe?”

Aww, she was being nice.

“I don’t care. I can share yours.”

Izzy came out and jumped on the couch. Her pajamas were stuck to her body. “Can I have a bite?”

I handed her a green bean and touched her pajamas. “Iz, did you get dressed while you were still wet?”

“You forgot to give me a towel.” She grabbed another green bean.

“Are you cold?”

Miranda walked into the living room and sat down on the other side of me.

“My feet are.” I set my plate down and started warming her little toes.

“You better give Mommy a kiss, we need to get you in bed.”

She sadly crawled over my lap and kissed her mother. “Goodnight Mommy.”

“Night, baby.”

I picked her up and carried my big girl to her bedroom. After I got her tucked in she folded her hands like she always did.

“Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the lord my soul to keep. In the morning when I wake, I pray the lord my soul to take. Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, bless the bed that I lay on. God please bless my Mommy and my Daddy and my Uncle Conner and Aunt Van, and Uncle Colt and Noah and Sam and Christian and my teacher and Harvey.”

She opened her eyes. “Did I forget anybody, Daddy?”

I leaned down and kissed her.” No, I think God knows you love everyone.”

“I forgot Mimi and Poppy and Grandma.”

“It’s okay; I think he knows you love them too.”
She remembered Colt’s dog though.

“Daddy, are you mad at me?”

I looked right at her. “What are you talking about, Iz? Why would I be mad at you?”

She shrugged. “You didn’t get me from school today and you didn’t come home to eat dinner. Mommy looked sad too.”

“Isabella, Daddy isn’t mad at you. I love you with all of my heart, Sweetie. I had something to do tonight, that’s all. I’m sorry I made you think that. You know you’re my favorite girl in the whole wide world.”

“And Mommy too.”

I kissed her forehead. “Yeah, and Mommy too. Get some sleep. I will see you when your  pretty face wakes up.”

“Love you, Iz.”

“Love you too.”

She could never get how much I loved her.

Miranda was washing my plate when I made it back into the living room. “Where’s Conner?”

“At your parents. Your mom is trying to set him up with some girl from her prayer group.”

“What? Are you freaking kidding me?” There was no way Conner could be interested.

“I gave him twenty bucks to go through with it. He claims he is goin’ to act like an ass the whole time.” Before Miranda got done talking, I reached my arms around her waist and hugged both her and my twins.

“I missed you today.” More than she knew.

She turned around and wrapped her arms around my neck. “More than yesterday?” Her nose pressed against mine, but she didn’t kiss me.

I started closing my eyes, imagining those passionate lips making contact with mine. I licked mine to get them wet and ready. “So much, baby.”

She talked and let her lips touch mine. “Show me.”

I picked her up and sat her on the countertop. She immediately wrapped her legs around me. After the week I was having, I couldn’t wait to be inside of her.

I needed to touch her, to hold her and to feel her close to me.

Chapter 11

Miranda

Ty’s kisses were hungry, almost ravenous. I was on the countertop for only a few seconds before he was carrying me to our bedroom. After he sat me down on the bed, he ripped off my jogging pants taking my underwear with them. He unzipped my jacket and somehow kicked off his workpants at the same time. I reached up and started unbuttoning his uniform shirt. He grabbed a chunk of my hair and pulled my head back as he came in and bit down on my bottom lip, pulling away with it.

I ripped his shirt down his arms and let him do the rest removing it. His undershirt came over his head with one pull and I ran my hands up his bare chest.

Ty growled as he laid me flat on the bed and unhooked my bra. He cupped my breast into his hands and buried his face into mine. He sucked so hard, I let out a small cry.  I took my feet and pushed down the boxers off of his ass.

He pulled away from me and took in my naked appearance. “You’re so fucking sexy.”

I started to sit up, but he pushed me back down on the bed. “Stay right there.” Ty got down on his knees at the foot of the bed and grabbed both of my legs, pulling me down until my hot sex was right in front of his face. “I’ve wanted to do this all day.” He dove right in, licking and sucking me like he was fighting till the death. It was painful and fantastic at the same time. He ignored my cries as he pushed his tongue hard against my swollen nub. Even after I came, he continued licking me, over and over, all the while looking straight up at me. I had to sit on my elbows and found myself falling back a few times, because I couldn’t control the surge of trembles that were overpowering every limb of my body.

His face came up to my belly and rubbed my wetness all over it. “Tell me how it felt.”

Two could play this game.

I grabbed him by his hair and pulled him up to my face. My tongue licked all over his chin, while my hands in his hair kept me in control of his head. “So fucking good, babe.”

“Turn your fine ass around. I need to be inside of you right now.”

I turned over slowly and scooted myself on the bed further. I felt the mattress moving as Ty came up behind me. I started to spread my legs and put my ass in the air, but Ty came up and grabbed my hips. He didn’t even feel down there before he drove himself right into me. The instant pressure hurt at first and I cried out into the room.

He gritted his teeth when he talked to me and grabbed the back of my hair as he thrusted himself in and out of me, repeatedly. “Tell me you like it.”

I closed my eyes and focused on how good it felt. “Oh yeah, I want it harder.”

He started pumping me even harder. I reached down between my legs and cupped his balls into my hand, massaging them as he fucked me. The harder he invaded me, the more I squeezed. “Oh God, Miranda.” Ty collapsed over my back and finally let go of my hair. I relaxed my head and felt little kisses all over my back.

He fell down over the bed next to me and pulled me on top of his chest. “Sorry.” He was trying to catch his breath.

“For what?”

He stroked my hair. “If I hurt you. Just feeling so stressed about everything. I didn’t mean to take it out on you, especially with the babies.”

“Babe, you didn’t hurt me. I had three orgasms in like five minutes. I’m not complainin’. I get it. I know you would never really hurt me, besides, sometimes I  like it.” I played with his nipple while I talked.

“I feel better, like we can really get away with this plan and never have to deal with this shit again. I just want to take care of my family.” He put his hand over his face. “I hate feeling this way. It hurts so much.”

“I know, babe.”

He reached around and cupped one of my ass cheeks in his hands, pulling my body up and causing my face to be even with his. “Please kiss me.”

I kissed him passionately, letting my love for him guide me. After a good few minutes he broke our kiss and hugged me against his body. “Ty, are you okay?”

“Please just don’t ever doubt me. I’d never want to hurt you.”

His words were so weird to me. Ty was usually so sure of himself, especially after sex. In fact, some nights I could have taped his mouth shut, I got so sick of hearing it. “Babe, are you sure there is nothin’ else botherin’ you? You seem off.”

I set back and watched him slide off the bed and walk into our bathroom. It confused me how for the first time I felt like he didn’t want to talk to me. He’d always been so open and as much as I wanted to be angry, I felt hurt about it, like he didn’t trust me.

The shower turned on and I could hear him opening the cap to the shampoo. I walked into the bathroom and climbed in the shower behind him. My lips placed kisses over his back as I hugged him close to me. He reached his hands up to his chest and held both of my hands there while he leaned against the wall, letting the water fall down the both of us.

Ty usually held his emotions on his sleeve, so for him to not want to talk was making me worry. His silence left me uneasy. “Ty, please talk to me. You’re scaring me.”

He turned around slowly and I watched the water, hitting his head and trickling down his face.  His wet lips opened to say something, but he closed his eyes and pressed them to my head instead. When he finally let go, he grabbed the shampoo and started washing my hair. His fingers massaged my scalp and I started to relax from the way he always tried to nurture me.

“Everything’s going to be fine, baby. I promise.”

He put my head under the flow of the water and rinsed the soap away. I opened my eyes and saw him looking down at me. He was staring through me. “Make love to me.”

His lips found mine and I got ready for him to take me to our room and emotionally fill the void I was feeling, but instead he pulled away and grabbed me a towel. He wrapped me up and helped me step out of the shower. “I need to get some sleep. Rain check?”

I wanted to chalk this up to my pregnant hormones, because I have no other reason why tears started running down my cheeks. I loved rough sex, especially with Ty, but earlier we weren’t connected and I didn’t like it. Something was missing. Something was off.

I had a terrible time sleeping,  and when I heard my brother coming in, I met him in the living room. “Hey.”

He sat his keys down on the table and gave me a funny look. “You alright?”

I shrugged my shoulder and hugged a pillow on the couch. Conner sat down next to me and seemed genuinely concerned. I could tell from his face that he had been drinking. “Are you drunk?”

He smiled. “Maybe a little. Your mother in law makes some good bourbon slushes.”

I traced the baseball on Ty’s pajama pants I was wearing. “How was the date?”

Conner sat back and ran his hand through his hair. “She’s alright. Nothin’ to write home about. Seems like she’s a little needy.”

“Well you stayed over there for a while.”

“She left around nine. I was watchin’ a huntin’ video.”
I am sure my mother in law loved that.

“Thanks for goin’.”

He placed his hand on my leg and looked directly at me. “Randa, tell me what’s wrong.”

I turned so that I was facing him more. “I don’t know. Ty’s just been actin’ weird. Maybe it’s just me overreacting.”

“You need to keep in mind that right now he is scared of losin’ his bond to that little girl. He loves you. As much as I wished he didn’t years ago, I know that it’s true.”

I leaned over and kissed my brother on the cheek before he stood up and headed in the direction of his room. I wanted Conner to be right about Ty.

After getting myself all upset, I climbed back into bed. Ty was lightly snoring and I cuddled my body up against him. One of his hands reached down and connected with me. Our fingers became entangled and I fell fast asleep.

Our morning routine was always hectic and I had little time to even say a single word before I climbed in the car with Ty and Bella. He dropped me off first like every morning and then took Bella to get her juice and donut before school. I got my normal goodbye kiss and a smile before climbing out of the car.

Amy was already in the salon, doing some paperwork when I walked in. “Hey girl. How’s those little boys treating you?”

“They are making me lose sleep.”

“Too bad you can’t have some real coffee,” she teased.

“You suck!”

“So Stacy called out and asked if you could take two of her clients today. You have a Chelsea at nine and a Beth at eleven. I tried to give you room for your other appointments.” She closed the schedule and started walking toward me. “I think your belly is growing every day. You know I won’t hold it against you if you want to stop working for awhile. Your station isn’t going to go anywhere.”

I smiled and sat down in my chair. “Thanks. It won’t be much longer before I can’t take it. My feet kill me at night.”

“Why don’t you just finish out this month and clear your schedule. Your clients all know you are having twins. They aren’t going to judge you for it.”

“Ty will be happy if I do that. He keeps fussin’ at me to stop workin’. So how are things for you? Did anything bad happen last night?”

“Nothing that I can’t handle, little lady.”

Amy walked away without me being able to reply. I was sure he was beating her. She kept wearing shirts that covered her arms and wearing pants instead of the skirts that she used to wear every day. I hadn’t told Amy about what happened during our last visit to Kentucky. I think she knew something was off, but with her own life being such a mess, I wasn’t exactly her first concern.

I hadn’t even realized that it was already noon, but when Ty walked in to pick me up for lunch, I felt relieved. I had packed us lunch, so we went outside and sat at a picnic table. “You think on your way home you could get some of those meatballs from the store that I like? I was thinking that Iz and I could make spaghetti and meatballs tonight.”

“You’re goin’ to cook?” He liked to cook, but I was usually the one that did it.

“Yeah, I want you to go home and relax. Your feet are starting to swell. I don’t mind and Iz likes to help.” He finished his sandwich and stuck his trash in the bag. “So are you going to pick me up at five?”

“Of course. You ready to head back to work?” His phone caught us both off guard when it started ringing. Conner had a specific ring on Ty’s phone so he knew to always answer and this wasn’t any ring I recognized. “Who is it?”

Ty ignored me and started to get up and walk away as he answered it. As quick as he walked away, he started heading back in my direction. I just sat there waiting for him to explain why he had to walk away. “Sorry bout that, baby.”

“Who was that?” I’d never been so up in his shit before and I didn’t even care if he didn’t like it.

“It was just work. There was a bunch of noise and I couldn’t hear good.” I could tell from the way he wouldn’t look at me that he was lying.

He leaned over to kiss me and I reached in his pocket and grabbed the phone. Before he could argue, I looked at the last number. It was a cell number, but no name was by it.

“Miranda, what the fuck is your problem?” He pulled the phone out of my hand.

My Ty didn’t keep secrets from me. He left his phone out and didn’t care who was calling him when he was with me. “You just lied to me.” It was almost a whisper as it came out of my mouth. I grabbed the car keys and started walking toward the car.

“Baby, wait! Please.” He jumped in front of the car door preventing me from getting in. “It’s not what you’re thinking. I swear to God it isn’t.”

“Then why can’t you tell me?”

He jingled change in his pockets. “Because it has to do with Izzy and because what I’m doing is illegal, I didn’t want you involved. The person called with the appointment. Conner and I go in next Thursday for the test.”

I tried to push him out of the way, but he stood still and grabbed my arms. “Baby, I swear it was about Izzy. I am telling you the truth.”

I did believe him, but I hated that he felt like he had to keep it from me. I wanted to be involved. She was my daughter too. “I’ll pick up Bella and get your meatballs before I come to pick you up.”

“You’re going to make me walk back to work?”

“It’s two blocks Ty.”

He grabbed my waist and pulled it into him. “Please don’t be like this. I can’t stand it.”

“You promised no secrets. I’m not your girlfriend, I’m your wife, Ty. I’m almost six months pregnant and I can’t take this stress right now. I’m scared too. Don’t you get that? This just isn’t tearin’ you up inside, I’m feelin’ it too. I can’t stand that you’re shuttin’ me out.” Of course I got myself all upset and started to cry into his chest. “You lied and said it was your work and then you expect me to believe you. You can’t lie to me Ty.”

“I’m just trying to protect you, I swear.”

I looked up at him. My eyes burned from the tears. “Don’t! Don’t you dare protect me from somethin’ that directly involves me.”

He scrunched up his face like he was in pain and kissed my forehead. “Alright.” He climbed into the passenger side and I drove him back to his shop. When he leaned over to kiss me goodbye, I didn’t react to his lips. He hurt me. For two and a half years we had no secrets. Even if it only involved Bella, he had no reason to hide it from me. I wanted to wring his neck.
