🌶 ROSALINDA 🌶

After dinner, I was outdoors in the middle of tag with the girls. As I was about to catch both girls, Axton and Hercules appeared. Axton eyed me with an indifferent glance as if I was a torn sock. While Hercules avoided eye contact like I was a nip slip at a K-pop concert.

Oh no....this can't be good if both are present.

I cringed and stood frozen as they stepped closer.

"Winda, why aren't you chas-. DADDY!"

"PAPA-BEAAAAR!" The girls screeched while occasionally stumbling as they ran to their dads.

I stared in envy at the four of them cuddling. I itched to join in, but I didn't dare as I'm still on thin ice from the last time I inserted myself. (The time she drunkenly got in bed with Axton and Hercules.)

If only they'd give me a chance. I understand why I can't score any points with Ax. But I don't understand why I can't seem to with Herc. Unless... they both dated the twin's mom! I'd say it's about time for them to move on.

"Are you girls having fun with Rosalinda?" Herc asked as both men squatted down to their level to capture them.

"Mmhmm! Will you play with us?"

"Papa-bear will, but daddy needs to chat with Rosalinda. Then I'll come play."

"Okay."

"Hurry, cause we wanna play with you!"

"Pwomise?"

"You have to pinky pwomice, daddy."

"I promise," I gave them each a wink and gripped their pinkies with mine.

"Come on papa-bear!"

"Coming girls!" Herc chuckled as the girls grabbed his hands.

I took note of the nod between Ax and Herc before he ran off with the girls. 

"Did something happen? Or did I overstep again?" I may or may not have rolled my eyes.

"I hired a new nanny. Sh-."

"Wait, WHAT?"

"She'll be here in a few days. I hope that's enough time for you to move out. I'll of course pay you the full amount for this month as thanks for your care." Ax gave a tight-lipped smile as I simply gaped at him.

He quickly sped walk past me as my brain finally rebooted it's.

What??? New nanny??? Leave??? No! No! No! No!

I turned where Axton was playing and grimaced at his happiness. As he ran across the accordion bridge of the playset, I wished he'd trip. Bitchy of me, but how else should I react? He's so damn pleased about replacing me. Herc. He avoided the conversation and refused to make eye contact. So maybe he...doesn't want to fire me! If I can get him alone, maybe I can get him to switch sides. As he's the only person Ax listens to and do anything for him. I'm sure it wouldn't be hard for Herc, just puppy eyes, cheek pounding, and bam. I'm reinstated!

I grinned at the scene and returned inside to regroup in my room. Instead of packing, I set out an alluring satin nightdress I knew would parch Herc. Then, I set to work, giving myself a mani-pedi and chose a dark red nail polish. Once I finished, I decided to shower, but paused at the door, as it was the girl's bath time. However, I went ahead and let Ax and Herc assume my duties for now. Afterward, I blew dried my hair, straitened it till it shined, and applied makeup. I looked in the mirror and smirked at my gorgeous reflection.

I'm gonna have Herc on his knees in lust.

I lounged on my bed, skimming through a mag, passing the time through the girl's bedtime routine. It'll be the first time I'm thankful the walls between their room and mine are thin. Once I heard the guys' heavy footsteps, I stood and smoothed out the wrinkles on my nighty. I slipped on my furry heels, not forgetting to check my makeup in the mirror before leaving. When I stepped into the hall, I didn't see them either side, so snuck down the way to the bar/rec room. At the door, I spotted Ax and Herc stuck together, so I half hid around the wall. Once Ax went inside, Herc stayed put and took out his phone. As he was texting, I straightened my spine and plumped my girls before swaying towards him.

Ready or not, here mama comes. I giggled and pasted a seductive grin to my lips.

"Hóla pápi," I sexily posed with a leg out, right under Herc's nose.

However instead of smiling as I anticipated, he frowned in confusion. Instead of worshipping me he stared past me then turned his neck to view the closed room behind him.

"I'm right here, who else could you be looking for?" I gently placed my hand on his cheek to move his view back to me.

"I was making sure no one ELSE saw you dressed like this. You're not wasted are you?" Herc fumbled with his jacket as if he was contemplating about removing it as he eyed me.

"Aww, you're too sweet, worrying about me," I giggled, choosing to ignore the wasted comment.

"What are doing here, Rosalinda?"

"Came to see you, handsome." I lifted my left leg forward and placed my hands behind my back, as I shimmied my upper body.

"Well go back, I have plans already," Herc half turned so I grabbed his arm, pressing it to my cleavage.

"So you'd rather play with Axton and those bikers?"

"YeS," Herc took a step forward but I pulled him back.

"Am I not sexy enough for you to forget about HIM?" I purred as I lightly rubbed myself on him.

Herc glared in contempt and attempted to shake himself loose as the door swung open.

"Ai what's taking you s-." Ax's voice faltered as soon as he layed eyes on me.

"RoSAlindA. GET. YOUR. HANDS. OFF. OF. GAVIN." He seethed through his clenched teeth as he murderously glared.

Scared for my life, I quickly released his arm as if it was a dirty diaper. I stepped back and raised my hands in surrender.
