He was the sweetest, but he was also the sexiest and had the dirtiest mouth.

Oh God.And his mouth was currently devouring me. The feeling of his tongue inside of me made my back arch. His fingers against my clit made me stifle a moan. I closed my eyes as I let the sensation of his love start to overtake me. But suddenly his lips were gone.

"See," he whispered, his hot breath still close enough to make me even wetter. "So fucking horny," he said.

"Yes, okay? I'm horny." Damn it, why was he torturing me? "So how about you stop teasing me and give me your cock."

He raised his left eyebrow. "I do like when you tell me what you want. However, the answer is...no." He climbed off the bed.

What was he doing?He isn't seriously going to leave me like this?"Why do you always say no to me recently?"

"By saying no to you right now," he cupped his hands beneath my thighs and pulled me to the edge of the bed, "I'm going to have you screaming a whole lot of yes."

He knelt down in front of me. I closed my eyes, waiting to feel him once again, but instead I heard a soft knock on our bedroom door.

"You've got to be kidding me," James groaned.

I slid away from his hands, pulling my nightgown back in place. "I'll take care of it. Just, hold that thought, okay?" I quickly climbed out of bed. "And get under the covers to hide...that." I pointed to his erection that was extremely evident through his boxers.

James sighed and climbed back into bed.

I opened up the door. Axel was standing there with a worn puppy dog stuffed animal in his hand. He looked up at me with his big blue eyes.

"Aunt Penny?" He looked so sad. But at least he wasn't crying.

"Axel, sweetie, what's wrong?" I crouched down in front of him.

"I miss my mommy."

"I know. But you'll see her tomorrow morning right after you wake up." I pushed his hair away from his forehead. "How about we go back downstairs and I'll tuck you in again?"

"I want to say goodnight to my mommy."

"Sweetie, it's..." I looked over my shoulder at the alarm clock. "It's past 3 o'clock in the morning. Your parents are asleep."

His lip started to quiver and he began blinking faster. A single tear ran down his cheek.

"You know what?" I tapped the tip of his nose. "We can try to call them. How about that?"

He nodded furiously.

"I'll be right back, James," I said. I ignored his groan. He could wait five minutes. He hadn't seen Axel's face. If he had, he'd be doing the same thing as me. I stood up, grabbed Axel's hand that wasn't carrying his stuffed animal, and led him back out into the hall. When we reached the stairs he stopped and tugged on the bottom of my nightgown.

I looked down at him. He made the same grabbing motion Scarlett did when she wanted to be picked up. I wondered if he had learned it from her. "Okay, sweetie." I lifted him up andbalanced him on my hip as I walked down the stairs. He was significantly heavier than Scarlett. He wasn't that much taller than her, but the kid was pretty solid. I grabbed my phone out of my purse and walked through the living room. Scarlett and Sophie were still sleeping peacefully. I made my way down the hall and opened up the door to my office.

"Here we go," I said and tried to set him on the floor.

"No," he said and wrapped his arms around my neck.

"Okay, I've got you." I kicked the door closed with my foot and made my way over to my desk chair so I could at least distribute some of his weight. I sat down with a sigh and clicked on Hailey's name in my phone. I didn't think anyone would answer. And now I was worried it was the wrong move. What if them not answering freaked Axel out. I pushed his blonde hair off his forehead again, the way Hailey always did for him. Hopefully the action would be soothing.

"Penny!" Tyler said. There was music blaring in the background. "What's up?"

"Tyler, hey. I thought you guys would be asleep."

"Nope. I had no idea how much Mason liked to party. I'm not sure we're going to get any sleep tonight."

"Is that Penny?" I heard Rob say in the background. "What is the beautiful goddess doing up in the middle of the night? Is James not pleasing you?"
