Ellis grabbed me from behind. Since everyone was asleep now, I could feel Ellis push his body into mine. "I want to enjoy you while we're on a cruise ship." Hearing those words made me quiver with desire. Goosebumps formed on my arms and a chill went up my spine. Ellis grabbed my body and carried me to our room placing me on the bed. I giggled as I reached for him. My fingers crept up his thighs, playing over his skin until I could grab hold of his shaft. Feeling his muscles tense and hearing him moan made me also moan. My hips bucked forward, and the shaft moved under my hand.I felt his hand on my chest and one of the cups of my bra moved down. His fingers dug into my breasts and pinched my nipples. My other breast sprang free, and the air moved across it like waves on the ocean.His tongue darted out to lick his lips as he backed up away from me. I pulled him toward me with my hand on his shaft. For several long moments, Ellis explored my body with his hands and mouth. I wiggled u

**Ellis POVThe last leg of our journey home was a flight that felt longer than the entire cruise. It probably didn't help that it was the middle of the night. Everyone looked exhausted as we all sat in the plane. I dozed off from time to time. Holding Olivia’s hand as much as possible the entire way. It felt nice to finally get into the limo and see the familiar surroundings. It was nice to be back in Boston. The ride from the airport to the house didn't seem to take all that long. Once the limo stopped in front of the Peterson mansion, I sighed with relief. Everyone climbed out and rushed inside.As soon as we stepped inside, we were greeted by a familiar face. My grandfather, Herman, held out his arms wide with a bright smile. I smiled happily at him and set our bags down for a moment. “Welcome home,” Grandfather Herman greeted us. He was beaming with joy. “Did you have a wonderful wedding trip? I’m sorry I couldn’t make it, but I’m so glad you’re here now.”“We’re glad to be home

**Olivia POV The next several weeks seemed to drag on for me. Same thing every day. I was so bored all the time. Since the weeks were piling up, my body started to show more and more. I know it's a blessing to have kids. Especially when some women can't have them. My chest grew more and felt harder and filled up. My face looked a little puffy too. Even my thighs started to puff up.With the baby growing, it started to feel heavier on my small frame. So, now my back started to hurt more often. I hated the aches and pains. Ellis was up at the Crack of dawn and went to work. The two boys started school. Both of them seemed excited about it. Especially Ken since he would get to meet new kids. But that meant it would be just me at home in the humongous mansion with Grandpa Herman staying mostly in his room. I felt so lonely.Morning came around again, I noticed the school bus out front. So, I rushed towards the stairs. “Ken, Kevin! Bus is here!” I yelled loudly.I watched Ken rush down t

**Ellis POVI stood on the steel beam of the skyscraper and looked out across the city skyline. It looked fascinating to me. I had taken over this project after Bennett Klein’s disappearance and had been working on it for weeks. Being away from Olivia made it feel like a long time. But I was proud of the progress that had been made. The building was nearly complete. The project was on time and on budget. Pretty amazing if you ask me. That doesn't always happen. I was confident that I would be able to hand it over to the city in just a few more weeks.I walked through the skyscraper, admiring the view of the city from the upper floors. The air was crisp and clear, the sun just beginning to set. I felt a sense of pride. I knew it would be a beautiful addition to the skyline.I checked my watch and continued my inspection. Even though I had a nagging feeling in the back of my mind. Something I had forgotten. I shook it off and kept walking. Then my phone buzzed.It was a text from O

Grandpa Herman continued on. Sometimes decent people do wrong things in life. Tons of reasons or issues can factor in on that person's behavior. It's not right, but some folks do stuff wrong when they are hurting inside," he said with a serious expression. "Your son didn't get much attention from you. He needs your attention now, Ellis.”"So, you honestly think that giving him attention will help, Grandfather?" I asked.He nodded. "I think so.""So, what do you suggest?"He continued his speech. "Make him too busy to do illegal things. Make an effort to get to know him better. Find out more about his past. Maybe his past was dark and he doesn't know how to respect women. Try to be understanding and supportive of Carl. Try to give him advice. Maybe even good business advice. Heck, maybe even help him start a business here. That might help a lot too. What do you think of that idea?"I really hated that idea. I would have to help my son with a business and would have to trust him t
