Meet Kennedy, a young woman whose hard work through college has finally paid off with her dream job. Little did she know, this job comes with incredible perks, some of which were never mentioned in the contract.
This book does not end on a cliffhan...
The last 2 weeks have been heaven. I was so happy that the drama with my family was behind us. Bryce had been in communication with Andy and getting the help he needed. Right now he had sole temporary custody of Jasper and was working on getting a divorce and permanent sole custody of him. He mentioned that Molly may need to go to a mental rehab.
Andy didn't tell me many details because he didn't want me stressed. He was fully supporting Bryce out of his own pocket because Molly stole all Bryce's money. There was no way for us to find actual proof though. I tried to send my money but Andy told me he had enough to go around. I let him. I could tell that was his way of showing his love.
Speaking of which...
I was head over heels in love. With all of them.
They all offered something different. Parker was like my best friend. We could talk about things that may be too emotional charged for the rest of the guys. He could share with me and and I him without feeling like we make the other guys uncomfortable with our girlish behavior. Parker was still all man but he had a very soft side to him.
Andy was my supporter. He made sure I had everything I needed before I knew I needed it. He also was the one who I could talk shop with for hours and never feel like I was getting on his nerves. And I for him.
Dante's was my protector. He always made me feel safe without feeling like I was being suffocated. We still had a-lot of work to do on our particular relationship. I was starting to realize he needed more affection than he was letting on. Sometimes I would find him watching me or Parker with hunger in his eyes but he wouldn't act on it. Andy told me he's been more open with him and I was glad he was finding that outlet with Andy. I just wished he would find it with me. Parker told me it took Dante 5 years before he started showing even the slightest bit of emotion around him and not to feel bad. He just needed time.
Today Andy and Parker were out with some potential clients playing golf and Dante chose to stay with me. They always made sure one was with me at all times. Usually Andy or Dante. The threat of Weldon showing up when it was just Parker and I had them on edge.
Dante had been playing more video games recently than not when we were home. Before he used to always be around now I always have to search him out. Today was no different. I had been trying out recipes for a menu I was putting together all day today and I had saw him twice. Once to grab a beer in which he gave me a quick kiss on my neck and another to get some chips and water gaining me another silent kiss on the shoulder.
I was frustrated. Mostly sexually. Today was my first day off since starting back to work and aside from some steamy kissing sessions with Andy and Parker before bed I hadn't had any action. I missed Dante's affection and I'm determined to get it. I know he loves me back the way he's protective over me shows it but I need more. I finished cleaning up the kitchen and went to shower. I used all the best smelling stuff then went to my lingerie section of my closet. Parker picked out all the best stuff for me and it was like shopping all over again. I always put it on knowing it was probably going to be ripped off and shredded but even as I picked out a baby blue set I knew there was a big possibility I'd be rejected by Dante.

I but a plan white hotel robe on and went in search of Dante. I found in the theater room playing away at his game. I walked in and sat down on the couch and watched for a little bit quiet. It was a good ten minutes before he started talking.
"If you want to watch a movie I can play in a different room." He said not taking his eyes off the screen. I didn't answer, I wasn't going to have a conversation over this game. I don't think he realized that I didn't answer until another 10 minutes had passed. He finally paused the game and turned to look at me.
"What is it?" He asked putting the controller down. He had a slight look of annoyance on his face. That made me upset.
"What is it about this game that you lock yourself away and play?" I asked. He face showed more annoyance.
"It's just relaxing." He said in clipped tone.
"Over spending time with me?" I ask. His face went blank to the point that I didn't know what he was thinking.
"You were busy all day."
"How would you know. In the 8 hours we have been here alone you have seen me maybe 10 minutes. How do you know what I was doing all day." I snapped. He squinted at my tone his demeanor growing dark.
"Mind your tone Kennedy." He warned in a growl.
"For what? You treat me as if I'm some house guest and not a apart of this family. Why should I treat you like I am." I bit out.
"I'm not in the mood for this Kennedy. If you want to pick a fight do it with someone else. I made my peace a few weeks ago. I don't need to be attacked."
"You want me to leave?" I asked.
"I prefer it, yes." He said slowly. His words were like a slap to my face. I stood so he wouldn't see the tears forming.
"Fuck you Dante." I whispered then stormed out.
I ran upstairs and immediately went to my closet. The tears falling down my face blurring my vision. I grabbed my overnight bag and stuffed it full of clothes for work a couple pairs of shoes and undergarments. I went into the bathroom and packed a toiletries bag. I threw on some sweatpants and and sweater and grabbed my purse.
