Page 34 of Her Daddies' Everything

After Maeve and Sampson promised to call daily and Alejandro said he’d send some men as protection, they finished the call.

“I hate bringing trouble to you guys, but I didn’t know where else to go,” Maeve told them.

They all glared at her, except Isaiah who was concentrating on his computer.

“Shut up, Maeve,” Abe said. “You know you’re our sister in every way that counts. If you hadn’t come here, I’d have tracked you down and spanked your ass. Still might for the shit coming out of your mouth.”

They all stared at Abe in shock.

“No offense, but you are not the person I want spanking me,” she said.

What? Did that mean there was someone that she would want to spank her? Curiosity filled Immy.

She’d always been weirdly interested in spankings.

“Really?” Jenner drawled. “Who do you want spanking you?”

“Oh, I, uh . . . doesn’t matter. Isn’t Eric waiting?”

Poor Maeve. She looked so uncomfortable and embarrassed.

Although Immy really wanted to know who she was talking about, she rose.

“Let’s leave Maeve and Eric. I’ll go make some comfort food. Mac and cheese?”

“I will love you forever.”

“You would anyway, Maevie-baby. I know I’m your favorite.”

“I don’t thinkit was a good idea to leave Maeve,” Immy said the next night.

“I don’t like it either,” Jenner said, glancing at Sampson who was frowning. “Let’s just get this auction over with and get home. I think I’m up soon.”

Sampson had already been auctioned off, and even though he’d frowned the entire time, he’d fetched a good price.

They wouldn’t have come tonight if it hadn’t been for charity. And if Immy hadn’t helped organize everything. Although it was all going like clockwork, so she really wasn’t needed.

Abe is home with Maeve. She’ll be fine.

But Immy just couldn’t shake this weird feeling in her stomach.

They called Jenner’s name and he shared a look with Sampson before smiling and heading off. Sampson stepped in close to her and they watched as the bidding for Jenner grew fierce. Sampson drew out his phone, frowning down at it.

“Everything okay?” she asked.

“Just thought Abe might have texted me back by now.”

Finally, the auction finished. Wow. That was such a huge amount of money, she couldn’t help smiling in delight as Jenner returned.

“I’m gonna go make a call,” Sampson said. “Give me five minutes. Stay here.”

“We’ll be fine,” Jenner told him.

Sampson grunted and walked away.

“Jenner, there you are. I’ve been looking everywhere for you.”

Immy’s shoulders tightened at the sound of Lauren’s voice.
