I frowned, hating how my entire life fit into a box. It twisted me up, and tears burned in my eyes.

"Speaking of me, how has Cayden been? Has he been treating you well?"

I thought of the other night and the mind-blowing orgasm. I felt a shiver run down my spine, thinking about how he kissed me and how it took my breath away.

I quickly shook my head, not needing to get hot and bothered while I was at work. "He's been treating me well. Your brother has been nothing but a gentleman. He's been amazing."

Minus when you ask him to be.My wolf growled.

"Good. Well, I need to go. My lawyer is supposed to be here soon. You keep me posted."

Before I could ask any questions, the line ended, and I stared at my phone for a moment. I could tell that April was avoiding telling me what was going on, and any other time, I would have pressed her, but I couldn't. I was hardly keeping myself together, and like me, she had to figure things out by herself as well.

Chapter 20 - Cayden

I fixed my cuff links, popping the left one into position. I rolled my neck when I heard heels coming down the hallway.

"Ok, so I went a little out of normal for this outfit," Riley said as she came down the hallway.

"I'm sure you look amazing," I said, turning as she turned the corner. My voice got stuck in my throat as I took Riley in. She wore a tight black dress that sparkled in the light and paired it with black heels. Her hair was curled slightly, all pulled to the side with a braid. She was wearing some dangling earrings and a necklace that shined.

My mouth dropped at the sight of her, and she blushed. "Is something wrong?" She turned, and my cock ached, taking the full view in.

I shook my head. "No, you look wonderful. Jesus, that dress…." I bite on my cheek from groaning at the sight of her.

She softly smiled, running her hands down the front. "You like it? Like I said, I went a little more out of my comfort zone on this. Your sister would wear this more than I would."

"You look good," I growled, walking to her. "And I'm tempted just to ignore the party. I will happily stripe that dress off you and take you right here against the wall."

She snorted, shaking her head. "We made a deal, remember. No sex."

"Yeah, but that was before you stepped out looking like sex in a dress."

She blushed harder, her entire face going red. "Should I change? Is this going to be a problem for you?"

"Absolutely not," I said, walking over, placing my hand on her hips and pulling her to me. "You look amazing in that, and I will suffer through." I pressed a kiss to her forehead. "But you promise to wear that when we open the sex factor back up."

"Ok, then we're ready?" I nodded, turned, and pulled the door open.

We arrived at the fire station, and everyone was dressed, including the kids. Wendy and Ayden stood in the kitchen, setting the food out. Poppy stood next to Wendy, waving her hands around. "I'll make the food float, watch mom."

I watched as Wendy quickly picked Poppy up. "Let's not."

Ayden laughed, reaching over and pinched Poppy's cheeks.

"Hey, Riley and Cayden are here," Wendy said as we stopped at the top of the stairs. "Oh my god, that dress looks amazing! Where did you get that?"

Riley looked down at her dress, blushing. "I got it at the mall."

I leaned closer to her, leaning into her ear. "I told you that you looked good."

She smirked, flashing her teeth at me. I reached a hand around, cupping her ass for a moment before I let go. Riley's face went bright red.

"Want some champagne?" Wendy asked.

"Yes, please," she said, happily accepting a glass from Wendy and taking a deep gulp of it.

"Foods out," Ayden said, his eyes going around the entire room but stopping on Miles. "Let the kids grab first."
