Free Sweet Seduction by Nikki Winter Page B

really are but I’m not...I can’t...”
    “You know, I have a favorite pastime besides annoying Lena.”
    “And that would be?” She questioned, not really wanting to know. The gleam in his eyes told her everything.
    Leaning down, Felix whispered, “Exposing a liar.” Then his lips were on hers, his tongue sliding easily into her mouth, tangling with hers. Paige found herself reaching for him but she came away wanting because he broke the kiss. His dark eyes twinkled as he stared down at her. “Tastes like a lie to me.” He grabbed her hand and linked their fingers. Paige didn’t pull away because she was too dazed. “Now,” he said tugging her along, “let’s go back before Lena goes kamikaze and comes looking for you.”
    Paige just followed behind, wondering exactly what the hell had just happened.
     

Where
     
    Ten years later...
     
    “I’m risking my life for you. You owe me!” Oh she was crazy if she thought he’d be paying his debt like this. There was no way in the deepest, darkest, dankest, recesses of hell he was doing this.
    He shook his dark head and faced her glare straight on. “No. Hell no.”
    “Felix—”
    “Forget it Lena. I love you and I appreciate what you’re doing to help me but I refuse— and I do mean refuse— to do that.” He waved a hand at the disgusting and disturbing task before him.
    “If your stupid-ass plan succeeds then you’ll be doing this a whole lot more than just this once, genius. So get to it.” His little sister snapped her fingers and pointed at the wiggling baby boy that lay on the changing table.
    Felix gagged at the smell wafting from the diaper. He gave Lena his saddest look. “Why are you doing this to me?”
    “Because you have to learn and if you think for one second that Paige is gonna birth your big headed babies and be saddled with the constant job of changing every diaper you’re in for a Texas sized disappointment down the line.  Now,” Lena waved her hand towards baby Liam, “do what I showed you and do it quickly before he starts screaming.”
    He turned panicked eyes her way. “Screaming? Why would he scream?”
    “Well if your diaper was full of shit, needed to be changed and you had two adults perfectly capable of doing it but one of them was too scared to handle the small task when you knew and understood that they could, you’d scream too because you’d realize that was the only way to get the dumbass’ attention.”
    “You owe Abby’s swear jar like ten bucks.” Felix pointed out.
    Lena smirked. “I don’t see Abby around any—” Her words slowly stopped as her daughter scooted from under Liam’s crib—where she’d been hiding—and held out her jar with a wide grin, her golden eyes twinkling.
    In the sweetest little voice she said, “You owe me money, Ma. Ten bucks just like Uncle Felix said. I’ve been under there the whole time.”
    Lena scowled down at the miniature version of herself. “Your Daddy told you it was a good idea to hide under there, didn’t he?”
    Abby’s grin got wider. “Yup and he gave me this too.” She reached under the crib and pulled out a small recorder that—Felix was guessing—would play back every cuss word Lena had let loose in the last twenty minutes.
    His sister’s jaw clenched before she reached into her pocket and pulled out a twenty. She dropped it in the jar and Abby frowned up at her. “That’s a twenty, Ma.”
    Lena gave a tight smile and said, “Keep the change because Mommy has some things she needs to say to Daddy.” She pointed at Liam. “Get to it Felix. I’ll be back.” Then she made her way out of the room bellowing, “Archer!”
    Felix looked down at his niece. “You just got your Daddy in a lot of trouble, baby girl.”
    Still she held that grin. “I know but I’m rich now!”
    He smiled back. “And that’s all that matters.” He stuck out his fist and waited for her to bump knuckles with him before he straightened and stared down at
