Anything For Love (The Hunter Brothers Book 1)

by Lola StVil

  Three years later

  We are under attack! I think back to how this all started and I know for a fact that my wife is to blame. First of all we were going to foster one kid, my son Ben. But Ben has two brothers, and well, you know my wife. We ended up adopting all three of them: Ben, Kevin, and Ricky. That’s not why I blame her. I love our sons and I can’t imagine life without them.

  What I blame my wife for is forgetting to lock the bedroom door. That’s how we walked right into this pillow fight ambush. Ben is four, Kevin is six, and Ricky is eight. You’d think they would be too young to plan a coordinated attack but here they are kicking our butts. And for the record, these aren’t light pillows. These kids are way too strong.

  “Seriously, what are we feeding you guys?” I ask as Ben jumps on my chest, pillow in hand.

  “Hey, you can’t attack me, I’m your mom!” Winter reminds Kevin.

  “Sorry, Mom, I gotta do this,” he says as he brings the pillow down on her head.

  “Babe, I’m coming to rescue you,” I shout as if she really were in trouble.

  “Kevin, Ben, get Dad!” Ricky shouts. They gang up on us and finish us.

  “Okay, okay! We give up! We surrender,” my wife says with a dramatic bow at their feet. The boys jump up and down excitedly.

  “Now if all of you little terrors are not in bed by the time I count to five, no one is going ice staking tomorrow,” I warn.

  My wife starts counting. “One, two…” We hear the patter of tiny feet racing throughout the house. We laugh as they make their way to their room.

  “This place is crazy. When are we gonna clean this stuff up?” she says as she surveys the damage in the bedroom.

  “It’s already messy, babe. Let’s make it even messier,” I reply as I shove the things off the dresser, grab her ass, and hoist her onto it. She laughs and places her arms around my shoulders. She looks up at me. God, I love the way she looks up at me. And I love that I get to be in her life.

  “You know we need to go to bed early, right? I have an early meeting with the city,” she reminds me.

  “Yes, and did I tell you how proud I am of you for expanding your program to two centers now?”

  “Yes, but tell me again.” She laughs.

  “I am really proud of you. And I saw Carlos last week. Do you know they gave him another spot in the ‘new artist to watch’ section at the Hudson gallery?”

  “Yes! He told me. I can’t wait to see it. I was gonna go next week but we have Bree’s dinner. She’s going all out. It’s crazy how much she’s paying for.”

  “Yeah but it’s not every day she gets one of her pieces into Art & Design. I get her wanting to go all out,” I reply. Bree and her husband never got back together. She moved to NYC and opened up what is quickly becoming a popular design brand. She dates often, but her heart is with Lily and her business. It's nice to see her find her way.

  “Yeah, you’re right. You and Decker are working tomorrow, right?” My wife asks.

  “Yeah, new case. Why?” I ask.

  “I need to steal Jana from him for the night. We’re going shopping. I need a dress for the dinner and you need a new suit.”

  “What I need is my wife, naked and legs open,” I tease as I nibble on her ear.

  “Wyatt, no. We need to go to bed,” she insists. I knead her breasts and taunt them with my lips. “Okay, maybe we can go to bed a little late,” she says as she sighs and arches her back.

  I kiss her neck and whisper, “At that dinner you are having with Bree, don’t drink any alcohol, okay?”

  “Um…okay, why?”

  “You’re pregnant,” I reply.

  “What? No! I’m not…Am I?”

  I don’t say anything; I just smirk.

  “Wyatt, what makes you think I’m pregnant?”

  I whisper in her ear, “Babe, I know your body…”

  It’s a year later and our daughter Rose has just started sleeping through the night. The boys love her and argue over who gets to help feed her. She’s a perfect little baby, and we are hopelessly in love with her.

  It’s late in the Hunter household when I check on baby Rose. She’s sound asleep, thank God. On my way back to the bedroom, I hear my wife inside the boys’ room. She’s just finished telling them a bedtime story.

  “One more!” Ben shouts.

  “I have a story for you,” I say as I stand in the doorway. “Did I ever tell you about the time I found something in the dumpster?” I tease. My wife shakes her head and starts to laugh.

  “Daddy, what did you find? Was it treasure?” Ben asks.

  I look over at my wife. “Yes, it was the biggest treasure in the world…”
