THE TIES THAT BIND-Book 3 In The Sexy As Series

Chapter 96

On New Year's Day, the Styles' took their niece home for a few days and Ahmir was in seventh heaven with the time he got to spend with his momma and papa.

When Marian brought Destiny home, she and Kaia took off for the day and Kaia had her boudoir photos taken for her husbands birthday. Despite the pain she was still having in her ribs. They weren't completely healed yet.

She was so happy with how they turned out and even Marian told her how sexy she looked. Zayn was very surprised and he couldn't wait to hang up the framed pictures. She had quite a few framed for him. He hung the two biggest ones up in his art room and his studio. The smaller ones went in their bedroom and he hung one up in the living room, much to his wife's blushing about it. They went out for a romantic birthday dinner and his parents took all three kids for the night.

Marian's birthday was a few days later and Harry surprised her with a first edition of Jayne Eyre. And he treated her to a full homemade dinner. Just the two of them. He figured they'd needed a little downtime and alone time because the next few weeks were going to be extremely crazy. And he was still incredibly worried about her somehow or someway running into Louis. He loved her so much and he didn't want anything to happen.

The red carpet premiere was only two weeks after Zayn and Marian's birthdays. The girls needed to hurry up and find their dresses.

Kaia found Zayn with the twins in his art room along with Karim in his bouncer seat. Ahmir and Destiny were coloring and Zayn was sketching. She saw he was sketching her picture.

"Hey sexy," she said as she stood in the doorway before sitting down next to him. "You're obsessed," she teased.

He leaned over and kissed her. "Can't help it," He said. "I have a sexy wife. Where are you off to?"

"I need to get my dress for the premiere," she said. "At least you can just put a suit on and be done with it."

"But I love it when you get all dressed up." He said. "Is Marian and your sister going?"

"Marian is going to meet me there," she said. "And I guess Katia is coming. She texted Marian, not me."

"Baby," He said knowing she was still upset about the holidays and not seeing Katia. "Go and have a good day. Find something sexy that I'll want to peel off of you."

She rolled her eyes at him and then kissed him. "Try to behave yourself," she said.

"Can't help myself sometimes."

"Be good for Papa," she said and kissed the twins and then Karim. She left the house and drove to downtown London to Dynasty. Marian had texted her that she was running late and that she didn't know how long she was going to be. She parked the car and went inside and began to browse the racks to try to find something to wear.

"Kaia, um Hi," she uttered hoping to arrive late and never be alone with her sister. She still didn't know how to act around her seeing as she knew she was still in love with Liam. And he was right they needed to focus on them first. After they were married it would be different. "Where's Marian?"

Kaia jumped when she heard her name. "Jesus!" She squeaked. "She's running late," she said. She hated that Marian was late. She really didn't want to be alone with her sister. "So...um ...how were your holidays?"

"Ummm they were lovely, Liam's family really took to me. Karen told me to call her mum and all. It was quite nice." She blushed. "How was yours?" She said half curious, trying to make conversation

Kaia smiled. "Karen is a fantastic lady," she said. "His sisters too." She said and started to thumb through the racks again. "Ours were fantastic," she said. "We had our family over on Christmas Eve and then on Christmas Day it was just Zayn me and the babies," she said, emphasizing the word 'family'. "That's become our tradition," she said with a smile. "And then Marian and Harry came over on Boxing Day. It was quiet but nice. And we stayed home for New Years."
