Wrecking the Homewrecker (BOOK 2) EDITING

Adora

I looked out the window and sighed, resting my hand against the windowpane.

I smiled when I felt a warmth, that particular warmth being Santiago's arms wrapping around my middle.

I smiled as he rested his chin in the crook of my neck, his lips pressing against my skin.

"Weather's getting bad," he mumbled, "I'm about to have to go get the boys from Alessandra's. Want to come with?"

I froze. "Pass."

He smiled against my skin. "I don't blame you."

I smiled and turned around, pressing a kiss to his lips before pushing myself away from him. I walked into the bathroom and did my business, but froze.

Shit.

"Hey, Santiago?"

"Yeah, baby?" He asked.

"Hey, do you know if you happen to have any female products?" I asked, pursing my lips together with a smile as he walked in the bathroom.

"I, uh, you mean tampons?"

I nodded.

He shook his head. "Want me to go pick you some up?"

I smiled. "Yes, please, just pick them up on your way to get the boys."

He smiled and nodded. I wrapped my arms around his neck and pressed a kiss to his cheek, hugging him tightly.

"Be careful," I whispered, my hand against his abdomen.

"I will be," he whispered, smiling.

I pulled away from him and watched as he stripped out of his casual, only for home clothes, and into jeans and a long sleeved black shirt.

I sighed and admired him.

I watched him slip on his shoes and he stood up, making me press my hands against his abdomen.

"You are a sex god," I said.

He smiled down at me. "I know."

I bit down on my bottom lip and giggled, sliding my hand up his shirt.

"How are you forty years old?" I asked, "I feel like you've been lying to me about your age. No forty year old looks like this."

He laughed and grabbed my hands. "I must not age."

"You must not."

He smiled down at me and pressed a kiss to my forehead. "I'm about to go to the store and to get the boys. Tampons, right?"

I smiled and nodded.

"Okay."

He reached down and pressed a long, passionate kiss to my lips, his hand on one side of my neck.

My eyebrows shot up when he pulled away, and I was still in a daze from the amazing kiss we'd just shared.

"I've never gotten a goodbye kiss so genuine," I said, grinning from ear to ear.

"Well that's because we've been attached at the hip since we saw eachother again," he said, shrugging into his jacket.

I smiled. "I guess."

"I'll see you in a few," he said.

"Bye," I said, smiling as he walked out of the bedroom.

I bit down on my bottom lip, so scared of the feelings I was feeling for this man.

Santiago

I stood in front of the tampons and pads, a dumbfounded look on my face.

I pursed my lips together and grabbed a box of tampons, a box of pads, and another box of tampons.

The woman beside me was looking over at me with raised eyebrows, her lips parted.

I just smiled and walked away from that isle, raising my eyebrows. I grabbed a box of condoms before walking away from the isle, and I stopped at the flowers.

What kind of flowers does she like?

I grabbed a bouquet of white roses, grabbing a box full of chocolate before checking out.

The lady stared at me as she scanned the items, her lips pursed together.

"You're Santiago King?"

I looked up from my wallet and nodded. "That's me."

She popped a bubble with her gum. "I think you're hot, by the way."

I chuckled. "Have a good one."

I threw two twenty dollar bills on the counter and grabbed my bags, walking outside in the pouring rain.

I ran to my car and threw the bags inside, shivering as I turned the heat on.

My phone buzzed and I pulled it out of my pocket.

[From: Adora]
Are you okay? The weather is supposed to be getting really bad soon. Hurry home so I can cuddle you

I smiled down at my phone.

[To: Adora]
I'm good baby. Just got your stuff and I'm getting the boys now. Do you want me to get dinner while I'm out

[From: Adora]
Okay. And no I'll cook here. Be careful

I placed my phone in the cup holder and pulled out of the parking lot, driving the short distance to Alessandra's house.

Once I got there I rushed inside, making the boys run to me.

"Dad! I made a B on my math quiz!" Freddy yelled, holding his paper up to me.

"That's awesome, big guy!" I said, "I'm so proud of you."

He smiled up at me and Alessandra smiled. "Their bags are ready."

I pressed a kiss to Rose's cheek, rubbing her back. "Stay safe, okay?"

"Yeah. School is cancelled for the boys tomorrow, by the way. It's supposed to get really bad, I heard."

I nodded. "Yeah. Make sure Mateo-"

"I've got it," she whispered, patting my bicep, "hurry and get home."

I nodded and grabbed the boys' shoulders. "Let's go. Stay safe, okay?" I said, shooting Alessandra another look.

I froze and furrowed my brows together. "Hey, guys, go on to the car, okay? I'm just going to get your bags."

"Okay, Dad!"

They ran outside and I sighed, turning around as I rubbed my fingers through my wet hair.

"What is it?" Alessandra asked, furrowed brows.

I flexed my jaw muscle. "It's been five years."

Her brows went into an even deeper furrow. "What?"

"You've had time to get over Adora."

She rolled her eyes. "Did she tell you that I completely bashed her character? Because I didn't."

"No," I said, "but you need to lay off on her."

"And I told her she needs to lay off on the boys, that's it," she said, "it's not that big of a deal."

"She's trying to help," I said, "she could be like any other woman ever and not worry about them at all, but she isn't."

"And that's great," she said, "but the boys have you and I for that."

"It's fine for her to help," I said.

"I get she's helping you, Santiago," she said, "but I'm here to help the boys."

"What are you so afraid of?" I asked, dumbfounded, "are you afraid that she's taking them from you, or what?"

"Don't let her flatter herself," she said, rolling her eyes. She placed Rose on the floor and I furrowed my brows together.

"The boys came out of you, Alessandra. You don't have to worry about her taking them from you."

"She did five years ago!" She yelled.

"That was five years ago," I said, "we're all different people now."

She rolled her eyes with a laugh. "Forget it. Go home to her, she needs you, keep the boys safe."

Adora

I paced around the foyer, sighing as I waited on Santiago and the boys to pull up.

I jumped when there came a loud knock on the door, making me rush over to it.

"Delivery for Adora Franklin?"

I frowned at the mailman who held a package in his hands. I sighed and grabbed it, signing for it.

I placed it on the counter and continued to pace around, checking my phone for a message from Santiago.

None.

I was starting to get worried- they should've been home by now. Maybe they took the long way around?

A wave of relief took over me as soon as I saw Santiago's Jaguar pull into the driveway, the boys hopping out immediately.

I opened the door and they rushed inside, shaking the water off of them like dogs.

Santiago rushed inside as well, chuckling as he slipped out of his jacket.

"Addy! Guess what!" Freddy yelled.

"What?" I asked, smiling down at him.

"I made a B on my math quiz!" He held the paper up to me and my jaw dropped.

"That's awesome, dude!" I exclaimed, wrapping my arms around his neck, "I'm so proud of you!"

He smiled and wrapped his arms around my middle, making Josiah join us for a group hug.

"I missed you guys!" I said, "how about I fix dinner tonight? Addy's special recipe, how about it?"

They nodded and ran towards the staircase.

"Hi, beautiful," Santiago greeted, holding out a bag towards me. I grabbed it and looked inside, my eyebrows shooting up with a smile at the contents inside.

"You got me prepared," I said, holding up the box of condoms.

He laughed. "Never too many condoms."

I grabbed out the boxes of tampons and the one box of pads, smiling. "Thanks, babe."

I placed the bag on the counter and I turned back around to face him, my lips pulling into a sappy smile at the white roses and chocolate in his hands, stretched out towards me.

"You are perfection," I whispered, biting down on my bottom lip as I grabbed the chocolate, "I was talking to the chocolate, by the way."

He laughed and I wrapped my arms around his middle. "I'm just kidding. I love the flowers."

"I thought red would be offensive, so," he said.

I giggled and grabbed them. "They're beautiful."

I placed them in the vase on the counter, smiling.

His eyes darted over to the package and his lips turned up in a grin. "Did you open it?"

I shook my head. "No, I was worried about you."

He smiled, taking a few steps towards me. "Don't worry that pretty little mind of yours, baby. Open the package."

I grabbed a knife and sliced it open, watching as he folded his arms over his chest. I couldn't help but to admire his body, as per usual, but my focus went back to the package.

I opened the box up and my eyes became saucers at the sight in front of me.

"What the hell, Santiago," I said, pulling out the vibrator that was in the box.

He laughed. "I thought you could use it. You know, if I ever have to be gone for more than ten minutes. You're a needy girl, so."

I scoffed and gave his chest a good shove. "Am not."

"You are," he said, grabbing my arms. He looked down at the box and smiled. "See? It's maximum vibration-"

I giggled and shoved him back a little bit. "Well, this is useless right now. I can't have sex, for like, two weeks."

The smile fell off of his face, his eyebrows settling into a deep furrow.

"Two weeks? No way."

I giggled and looked up at him. "I'm kidding. My period will be over in exactly four days."

He let out a sigh of relief. "Good. I tried a week without fucking you, that didn't work."

I smiled. "Only four more days, Mr. King."

"Only four more days until you get to try out your new toy," he said, smiling down at me, "in front of me."

And with that, the smile fell from my face.
