“No, Uncle Hayden!” Cindy said, her and Hannah wrapping their arms around his legs. “More! More!”

“I need to get your aunty home,” he said, gently prising them free. “She turns into a pumpkin if she’s out too late at night.”

“A pumpkin?” Both girls stared at me wide eyed.

“A scary one!” This was familiar territory, so I threw my hands up, forming claws and then went stomping after them. The girls screamed, running up to the rest of my niblings, getting them all stirred up. I chased them, but when I caught each one I gave them a hug, squishing their little bodies before setting them down. “And we’ve got to go.”

“Noo…” the kids all groaned, grabbing at my hands.

“We’ll come and see you soon,” I promised.

“With one of their new uncles?”

Steve couldn’t resist one last pot shot as I grabbed my bag and slung it over my shoulder.

“Maybe all three,” I retorted.

“So we survived,” Hayden said once we got inside his van. He shot me a wary look. “Are you OK?”

“There’s a place just down the road,” I replied. “Take a right, then a left, and then drive up the dirt track at the end of it.”

“What—?”

“Just do it.”

My fingers drummed on my thighs because there was a strange kind of energy throbbing through me right now. It was how I imagined someone who walked away from a car crash without a scratch on them felt.

“So—”

Hayden pulled up at the end of the dirt track and looked at me quizzically, and that’s when I launched myself at him. My fingers craved the slight rasp of his stubble along his chin, my mouth needed his. The kiss was long and messy, one bleeding into the other as he took over, undoing his seat belt to lean over, but that was never going to do.

“Get in the back,” I growled, seeing the question in his eyes. “Now.”

He shook his head, wanting to demand answers, but when he did as he was told, I answered him by sinking to my knees.

Hayden

“What the…?”

My mind stuttered as I felt Jamie’s fingers on my fly, my dick swelling as she eased the zipper down.

“You were amazing today,” she explained in a low, husky voice, “and I said I’d repay the favour.”

My girl was not going to blow me for actually acting like a human being around her family, that I swore, but the moment Jamie pulled my cock free all my noble thoughts were sucked out of me by that velvety soft mouth. My hand landed on her head, not to pull her closer, but to stop myself from thrusting. Morals, objections were shoved aside as pure sensation tore through me.

“Baby…”

My shoulders pressed hard against the roof of the van, every muscle tensing and then releasing as I felt her tongue slide around my shaft. I wasn’t totally hard when she started, but fuck, the blood was rushing so fast to my dick that I felt a little dizzy.

Or maybe it was just because I was with her.

Jamie’s hands slid up my thighs, one cupping my balls oh-so-gently, the other forming a vice-like grip around the root of my cock. Fuck… I groaned into my chest, unable to stop myself from watching her work.

And that’s when her eyes opened, her gaze locking with mine.

This is what I craved. The sensation was enough to transport me out of the role I’d been playing and put me here with her, but that connection? I saw the flicker of something in her eyes, then she began to move.
