Deceiving My Bully Stepbrother

(Johnnie)

I grabbed the piece of toast Caspian had sitting on a plate for me before shoving it into my mouth. My feet almost tripping over the stuffed bear lying on the kitchen floor as I quickly spun and landed straight into my husband's arms. "Babe, slow down..you're not going to be late..just take easy.." My husband stated calmly, his strong tattooed arms wrapping around my waist before bending down and kissing me deeply.

"It's my first day Cas..I don't want to make a bad impression." I grumbled, trying not to get sucked into this trap again. "It's a fifteen minute drive..you have more than enough time."

Caspian slipped his tongue out before swiping my bottom lip sensually as I tried not to moan.

I am already twenty minutes behind because this big ape..of course he had to join me in the shower.

"Ma ma ma!" Everett squealed before waddling into the room and latching onto my leg, making me smile softly. "Damn..and I was so close.." Caspian mumbled, making me roll my eyes before patting his chest playfully.

"Yeah..sure you were babe.." I teased, making my husband narrow his eyes before bending down and biting my lip playfully.

I burst into laughter, prompting our son to do the same as I quickly pried Caspian off of me and lifted our little boy into my

arms.

I couldn't help but beam as my cutie smiled up at me happily.

God he looked just like Caspian..the curly dark hair and gorgeous blue eyes..he was his little mini-me.

"Mommy's going to miss you sooo much, baby boy." I pouted, smothering my son with kisses as Caspian watched me lovingly.

"Don't even start Johnnie.." He scolded..knowing I was close to bursting into tears..

It's been about a month since my recital happened..and life has been a complete whirlwind since. Apparently a lot of people saw my performance..like a lot..and even though the school year is over, I was actually offered a summer internship at one of the biggest record labels in the state.

River Records..they don't just produce and manage music, they also have a charity program where they help provide schools and youth programs with musical instruments and equipment..that's the program that I will be working in. At least for the summer. I was a little hesitant at first because the summer is when Caspian and I get to spend the most time together..no hockey practice or evening classes..so when I was offered the chance..I was initially going to turn it down.

But of course Caspian wasn't going to let me.

So now he is staying home with Everett while I go to the studio five times a week and today is my first day..

So you can see why this is so hard for me..I don't want to leave my baby..well, both my babies if you count my husband.

Speaking of babies..that's a whole other thing that has been going on..

Caspian is ready to try for another..which of course I want more..but I'm not sure if right now is the best time.

But I know why Caspian wants more, we make some damn cute kids..

Everett had to be the perfect first child to have. I swear he is just so calm and happy all the time. He loves to cuddle and laugh at everything.

Sometimes Caspian will do the craziest things just to see how hard he can get Everett to laugh..like putting spaghetti noodles on his head. Actually..now that I think about it Caspian makes a lot of messes just to get a giggle out of the kid.. But hearing that little boy laugh melts our hearts and Caspian is ready for more.

"Do you think your head can handle that? You did hit it pretty hard the last time." I would tease..bringing up the fact that he fainted any chance I can get.

But nope..he is adamant and wants me to go off of birth control soon.

So there is that..my brother thinks Caspian is crazy. Ben and Robin decided not to have any more after the twins..

From what I have heard, it was a mutual decision, which I can understand..those nieces or mine are a handful.

"Give Mommy a big kiss bud, she has to leave okay?" Caspian told our son, prompting Everett to look up at me with those big blue eyes and blink them innocently.

"I..I can't do it..I can't leave him." I whined, squishing our son's face against my chest as I hugged him tight.

"Baby..you left him to go to school before..it will be the same." Caspian chuckled, obviously finding this more humorous than me.

"It's different..I could always skip out on classes if I needed to..this..this is like a real job..I don't like it." I frowned while burying my face in Everett's hair and inhaling deeply. "Come on, hand him over.." Caspian ordered, his hands reaching out as I shook my head no.

That's when Everett began to laugh, his big smile making my heart explode as Caspian started pulling him away from me. Everett just thought it was some type of fun game.

"But..I don't want to leave you either..maybe I can just start tomorrow..we can continue where we left off.." I rushed out, making Capsian blink his eyes rapidly as his jaw ticked in response.

That's when his gaze began to wander down my body..the look in those blue orbs one I knew and loved as he took a deep shuddering breath.

"Nice try you seductress..trying to seduce me in front of our own son.." He said dramatically before covering Everett's eyes playfully.

"What?! You are the one who always tries to get me to.."

"Hey! Language.." He interrupted..stealing that one from me..I can't believe he is flipping this on me..

Caspian is totally inappropriate in front of our son all the time..okay..maybe Everett is sleeping most of the time..but still. What if he were to wake up?! I know he is almost one and a half..but still..that might be traumatizing.. "I can't believe you..fine, jeez..I will go." I grumbled..and I knew that would get to him.

Suddenly Caspian rushed forward with Everett and pulled me against his chest with his free arm.

"Wait..we need our kisses..don't be mad baby, I was just teasing..besides, this is what you always wanted to do right? You can't pass up this opportunity.." Caspian reminded me as I nodded and gazed up at him sadly. "Yeah..I just am going to miss my boys a lot." I said, feeling my eyes began to water.

"We will miss you too..but it will only be for a few weeks. Then we can spend the rest of summer together..and who knows, maybe we will try for our second." He added, making my stomach flutter as I lifted on my toes, kissing Caspian and then our son before turning and heading out the door.

"Kick some ass babe!" Caspian added, making Everett squeal as I rolled my eyes and couldn't fight the smile that filled my face.

Not sure you can really kick a*s in the line or work I will be doing..but what the hell..I will give it a try!
