I must’ve dozed off because when I woke up again we were landing. I didn’t feel bad about rushing to see her since all the others had pretty much the same idea.

I don’t know what I’d expected once we got here but I should’ve known by now that Mancini never did the expected.

It was obvious that we were on an island somewhere but which one it wasn’t easy to tell. There was a cliff and waves crashing against the rocks.

Off in the distance there was a mansion, and behind that in what looked like acres of gardens were cottages, or villas, I couldn’t tell from this far out.

“Whoa, fuck, I’m not gonna get Kat’s ass off this shit.” Lyon looked at us like we’d committed a crime before heading for the line of cars that were waiting for us.

We’d sent all our stuff ahead with the women so there was nothing to offload except the cache of weapons.

As we drew up we saw the women sitting out front the mansion watching the kids play. I searched her out and relaxed once I saw her in the midst of the girls.

She was laughing at something Dani was saying, head thrown back and so damn beautiful I ached. She saw me somehow and got up from her chair.

I stopped moving even as my brothers and the others kept going. She ran by them and right into my arms like it was something she did everyday and my beast put his head down.

“Hi baby!” My arms went around her as her legs came around my waist. Our lips met and my beast came fully awake again.

“Are my girls okay?” She whispered in my ear before getting down off of me. “Yeah baby they’re good. Their dads are gonna go see them later and once we’ve got everything cleared up they’ll be back home before you know it.”

“Then we’d better get to work, they’ve been through enough already.” She took my hand and led me back to the others.

“We…are not doing anything babe, I’ll take it from here.” She actually looked over her shoulder and smiled at me.

I kinda thought the smile looked a bit condescending but I wasn’t exactly sure until the next words out of her mouth.

“Aw, you’re so cute. Your sisters, who I love by the way, told me you’d try something like that. But see, I’m the one who was closest to those freaks so I’m thinking you’re gonna need me.”

Wait, there’s shit she didn’t tell me? There was something going on once we got back to the others and from the body language it looked like a girls against boys sorta deal.

“Ah damn, what?” I looked from Lo to Con then to Lyon who seemed to be in a staring match with his wife who ignored him as she rubbed the huge mound of her tummy.

There was only one face I didn’t recognize. Mancini’s wife looked like a completely different person once she was dressed in her own designer clothes and didn’t have bed head.

Ty stepped up to answer. ‘Well, far as I can tell. In the time it took us to get here Hank’s woman told this lot a little more than we had.”

She shrugged her shoulders and sipped her tropical juice like she didn’t just open Pandora’s box. “No one told me I wasn’t supposed to, and since this involves them as well, I thought they had a right to know.”

There were groans from all the men including me, but the women looked cool. This shit smacked of a setup, like they’d banded together in the two minutes it took us to get here.

Fucking women, it took us weeks and sometimes months to form a bond as a team. It takes them less time than it does to put on lipstick. All eyes went to Hank to do something about his woman.

“Don’t look at me.” Mancini backed away with his hands in the air but there was no way to miss the grin on his face as he turned to go inside.

“By the way Quinn congratulations.” Dani’s comment was followed by the other women’s, who once they were done giving me a round of hugs, turned their attention to Devon.

“Oh fu…hell no.” He followed Mancini inside leaving the rest of us to deal with our mess. “Kat, time for a nap.” Lyon tried pulling his wife up from her seat.

“I’m not sleepy.” She didn’t budge.

“Babe, you’ve been up all night those kids need their rest. Speaking of which, where’s Mengele?” “Colton, don’t call her that in front of company.”

“I’m pretty sure they know. It only takes five minutes for those blonde curls and that innocent little girl look to lose it’s cover power.”

I think everyone else was trying not to laugh, but Kat looked ready to kill.

“I think we all could use some rest.”

Lo, either trying to diffuse the situation or trying to waylay the women who actually thought we were going to let them in on what we were doing, piped in.

He wasn’t fooling anyone, and when the women all looked around the table I’m sure I wasn’t the only one who noticed the nod between Lyon’s wife and the rest of them before they suddenly agreed. “Great, you guys can put the kids down for a nap.”

She passed Lyon their youngest who’d been resting on Dani’s lap and Nessa passed Zakira to her dad.

They made a beeline for the garden and the cottages beyond which apparently had already been divided up.

I counted three men roaming the grounds back there but I’m sure Kelly never noticed them they were that good.

I wasn’t sure what just happened back there and why the women had caved so easily, but I wasn’t sure I trusted it.

‘This is some place huh!” We were the only couple other than Mancini and his woman who were staying in the big house because of our battalion of kids.

Thank fuck, if I had to stay in one of those matchboxes with my brood I’d lose my damn mind.

Not that I don’t love my kids, but damn they can get into some shit. “You been keeping an eye on Mengele right.” I put the baby down in the adjoining room and hoped he stayed down.

“Colton, I wish you’d leave our daughter alone.”

“Yeah, there’s a cliff out there, you won’t be saying that shit when she chucks one of your kids off that shit.”

My fucking kid; gotta love her. All the way to the SEALs place she must’ve asked me a thousand questions about what was going on.

All the other kids bought the vacation bullshit we sold them, not her. Her ass was probably listening in at doors and shit and knew that something was up.

Right now I’m more interested though in my wife and what she was up to. That little mini mutiny outside just now smacked of her meddling shit.

“Colton,” She hush whispered at me. “Why are you taking off your clothes? We can’t have sex here.” She looked around the room like there was someone hiding in the corners or some shit.

“Pretty sure they already know we fuck Kat.” I pointed at her tummy and she growled. I notice she’s been getting worst with each pregnancy. Her hormones are probably outta whack or some shit.

“Maybe you should take yours off, then again better not, sure as fuck one of your nosy ass kids gonna be at that door in the next five minutes. Lucky for you that’s all the time I need.”

“All the time you need for what?” She scooted back on the bed like that was gonna work. My baby never learns.

I came down on the bed over her, caging her in. It was easy enough peeling the mom jeans off down her thighs and lifting her shirt up over her gigantic amazing tits.

My dick leaked at the sight of her. Her hand came up and played with my cock piercing and my eyes damn near crossed.

When she started stroking me I forgot what the fuck I was supposed to be doing in here, and when she slid down beneath me between my thighs and took the head of my cock in her mouth, I lost all fucking thought.

“Damn baby, shit. Fuck Kat!” Her freaky ass hummed around my meat and sent electric shocks up my spine. She trailed her nails down the back of my thighs and I knew she meant business.

I pulled out of her mouth and went to put her legs on my shoulders. “No Colton I wanna be on top.” I looked at her suspiciously but got on my back.

She only likes doing this shit when she wants something. It’s her position of power. Uh-huh. Little sneak is up to some shit.

She teased my cock back and forth over her dripping pussy folds before taking me in and sitting herself all the way down on my throbbing cock.

“Damn, how is your pussy still so tight?” I grabbed her hips and fucked up into her, forgetting all about why the hell I’d brought her in here in the first place.

“Ah damn Kat, kiss me.” I needed her to swallow my growl before the whole damn island knew what the hell we were up to in here.

She did that clench and release thing with her pussy which was a couple degrees hotter because of the baby in her womb and I started shooting off inside her.

I gave the others time to get their jobs done before sneaking out of the room. He looked so perfect sleeping there that I was tempted to kiss him, but I didn’t want to risk waking him.

I’d had the better part of last night and this morning when we got here to talk to the girls. We’ve been keeping in touch since meeting over the holidays but it’s not the same as being in the same room together.

I’d spent that time wisely. Since my husband and theirs weren’t sharing I knew we’d have to go all commando to find out anything.

I would ask Meng…I mean Catalina to spy since she’s so good at it, but I’m trying not to do that. The child is scary enough as it is without me encouraging her.

Once we got to meet Kelly who filled in a little bit more of the puzzle, we put our heads together and came up with a plan.

Cierra being a bona fide agent was going to come in handy as well, but it was agreed that we just have to get the men out of the way first.

I’ve learned and have been teaching them how to work around hardheaded alpha males. I should be a damn expert. I’ve lived with my nut for the better part of seventeen years. They’re newbies.

I snuck out of the room, knowing he was going to be pissed once he wakes up. I figured since they were up all night and us girls had had a few hours down time, they’d be tired once they got here.

Each woman had her job to do and then we were going to meet in the media room where Cierra was going to use her credentials to get us some information.

The only hitch was the kids who were so excited at being at the beach, but Hank had thought of everything and there was a complete staff here, including nannies. If I could just keep Catalina occupied for a while that’d be great.

I snuck along the hallway and down the stairs without seeing anyone else. The Mancinis were on the other side of the house in a separate wing and the others were occupying the cottages.

I wasn’t worried about the older kids. Caitlin stays on her phone with Todd, the twins and Caleb are boys who’re always into gross but safe things, and Cody’s too young to get out of his crib.

But Catalina; there’s no getting away from the fact that she needs twenty-four hour supervision. I knew these ‘nannies’ were some kind of Special Forces.

You can’t live around Colton Lyon all these years and not know when someone was carrying, but I have yet to meet the man or woman who can outsmart my kid.

I prayed for peace and waited for the others as I looked out the window. In the distance I saw Catalina and little Zakira on the beach with one of the nannies walking behind.

At least that should keep her quiet for a while. She likes having someone younger than her to boss around since her brothers and sister wouldn’t let her, and Cody was too young.
