She realized this was the first time she’d sat on Wolfe’s lap. Was she making him uncomfortable? Maybe she should move. She started to shift but Wolfe tightened his hold on her hips.
“She’s fine where she is.”
Caleb gave Wolfe a surprised look. She wondered if he was going to object. Would they fight? She couldn’t take that right now. But to her shock, Caleb just grinned.
Aleki strode in. He paused as he saw them all. He looked from her on Wolfe’s lap over to Caleb. “So. That’s new.”
Caleb nodded. “Isn’t it?”
“What?” she asked tiredly.
“Don’t worry about them,” Wolfe told her.
“Okay, Wolfie,” she replied, leaning back against him tiredly. She was exhausted. Completely drained. Today seemed to have overloaded her system. It was like she’d reached that point of breaking and dived over the edge.
But she wasn’t going to let that bitch, Marilyn, shatter her. She was temporarily down. But she wasn’t out. She’d come back tomorrow. But for tonight, she just needed to be a bit broken.
Aleki quickly stripped off and climbed in. She got a flash of that gorgeous ass before he was in the water. “What scent is that?” he asked.
“Jasmine,” Wolfe replied.
“Huh. Better than that floral stuff, I guess,” Aleki said. “I think I’d prefer the cotton candy stuff, though.”
“There’s a cotton candy bath stuff?” She perked up at that.
“Yeah, we’ve got a ton of bath shit in here. Let me have a look.” Aleki climbed out of the bath.
Wolfe sighed. “Can you try not to wave your willy in our faces?”
She giggled. Willy.
Aleki had been glaring at Wolfe, but at her giggle, his face softened. “Vivi likes my willy, don’t ya, baby girl?”
Hopefully, they thought the reason she was so flushed was due to the hot bath.
Wolfe snorted as Aleki walked over to the cabinet.
“Make sure you clean up all the water on the floor,” Caleb demanded. “We don’t want her slipping.”
“Like she’s going to be walking anywhere anytime soon,” Aleki countered.
Caleb’s gaze met hers. His was still filled with a deep concern. But a smile touched his lips. “True. But we don’t want to slip while holding her.”
Aleki grumbled but grabbed a basket of bath goodies. He placed it by the bath then snatched up a towel to mop up before he hopped back in, sending water splashing. Wolfe grumbled about the giant whale in the bathtub, making her giggle again.
“What’s in there, Papa?” she asked.
His face lightened, and he smiled at her. Caleb grasped hold of the basket while Aleki went through it
. “Strawberry liquid soap. Peach bubble bath. Ahh, here it is. A cotton candy bath bomb.”
She reached for it. Ooh, it was so pretty. It was in the shape of a donut. Pink on the bottom and blue on the top with white icing and sprinkles.
“Wolfie, can you unwrap it for me?” She bounced around on his lap.
He held on tighter to her. “Yes, but only if you stop moving so much.”
“Sorry,” she whispered. “Did I hurt you?”
