Chapter 14
Roman
Three days passed and there was no sign of Guest. The bastard caused total chaos then vanished. I know he’s nowhere near done with Lindsay, but I’m going to do whatever I can to stop him from getting anywhere close to her. The doorbell rings, and it’s my parents. They’re coming to meet Lindsay for the first time. I open the door, and it’s them along with Brent and Katherine.
“Come in,” I welcome them even though I wasn’t expecting her brother. He and I haven’t spoken since he found out about us. It’s not because he’s pissed or at least he hasn’t shown it. After I close the door, I turn and feel it. Brent gut-checks me. “Damn it, Brent,” Katherine yells, coming to me.
“Katherine, get away from him before I kick his ass.”
“Idiot,” she bites out, rolling her eyes and stepping to the side of me.
“No, I deserve that,” I grunt out, trying to straighten up. The bastard pulled a quick one, but he earned it. I was hired to protect his sister not fuck her on every surface I could. And that’s what we’ve been doing since the first day here.
“Damn right you did, and if you ever treat my sister bad, you’ll get a lot worse than that.”
“You can bet I’ll never do that. She’s my princess.”
“Well, now that you boys got that out of your system where is my future daughter-in-law?” my mother says, walking past us looking around the staircases.
“She’s baking in the kitchen.”
“I’m betting she’s trying to straighten up before you all see the mess she’s made,” Katherine teases.
Brent laughs lightly shaking his head. “Yep and she can make a mess.”
I push the kitchen door and see the kitchen and my pretty little blonde covered in flour. She blows her hair out of her face. “I swear it will taste better than I look.”
“Fuck, it’s going to be delicious.” I’m staring at her like she’s on the menu. Well once everyone leaves she’ll be my dessert. I groan because my cock needs to be in her. I walk around the counter where she’s finishing the design on the pie she’s about to put in the oven, and I slide my hands around her waist. “Baby, I’d like to introduce you to my parents, Diane and Edmond Wolf, and you’ve met my sister Casey very briefly.”
“Hello,” she says, wiping her hands on the bottom of her apron. She comes around, leaving my arms to shake their hands. That’s not going to do for my mother. She pulls Lindsay into a hug.
“Oh no, I’ve gotten flour all over you.”
“Nonsense I did it. Besides, it’s so lovely to see someone who can take care of Roman.”
“Yeah, I didn’t know he had stuff in here for baking.”
“He didn’t. He sent his men to the store,” she complains, crossing her arms.
“Good, Linds, it’s still not safe out there for you,” Brent reminds her, making the gut punch a little more tolerable.
“See, I told you, baby.” I come around and stand behind her. She glares at me then smiles up at me, so I steal a kiss. Fuck who’s around, she’s mine.
“Okay, let’s go play some pool while dinner’s cooking,” my dad says.
“I’m all for that,” Brent cheers. Katherine adds, “Me too. Men, please go play. Lindsay and I have a lot to talk about.” I’m not sure if Katherine and Brent are a thing, but he’s definitely worried about the two of them talking alone. That look on his face said a fuck ton.
“Fine, Lindsay, are you okay without me?”
“Yes, Roman. This is my area of expertise. Go have fun.”
“Are you sure?”
“Yes, now shoo.” We leave them alone, and I lead them to the game area. Brent’s eyes widen at this room. I haven’t really used it because I haven’t been here long, but it’s going to be great for Lindsay and me and any kids we have.
“What’s up with you and Katherine?” I ask him, pulling out the balls and rack.
“Nothing. She’s just my sister’s friend.” He sounds put off about it. I let it go and rack up.
