Risking Fate (Mitchell Family #4)(80)
Author: Jennifer Foor

Usually it worked, but he was onto her right away this time. “If you don’t clean your room then you don’t get any presents.” Bella went running into her room like a bolt of lightning. I rolled my eyes. He sat down next to me and pulled Jake from my lap. “I knew I’d come home to him next to your tit. He knows where the good pillows are.”

I scooted away from him, enough for him to notice. “I’m mad at you.”

He played with Jake’s hair and let out an air filled sigh. “Baby, I thought we were past all this. Can’t you just let it go?”

“No! My own brother lied to me. I feel like killin’ him with my bare hands.”

He laughed at my comment. “As much as I would love to see you take your brother outside and take him down, I seriously doubt you’d be able to. He’s double your size for starters and I know you love him too much to actually hurt him.” He reached over and rubbed my leg. “We have the whole family coming for Bella’s party, can you at least be nice to him until after everyone leaves?”

“No, I’m pissed Ty and I’m mad at you about it too and what is going on with Amy?”

Ty stood up and handed me back Jake. “I gotta get a shower.”

I sat Jake down in his chair and ran into the room after my husband. He knew something and I was going to get it out of him. I jumped in front of him walking in the bathroom. “Tyler Mitchell, you better tell me what you know, right now!”

He reached his arms out and picked me up, then spun me around to be out of his way, while still having a huge smile on his face. He tried to back up into the bathroom and close the door, but I shoved my ass into the door so it couldn’t close. He shook his head and started taking off his clothes. “It is my constitutional right to plead the fifth.”

He climbed into the shower and ignored me standing there with my hands on my hips. “You’re willin’ to be on my shit list, to protect my brother?”

I looked through the glass and realized if I wanted to be mad at Ty, I had to stop looking at him naked. I turned and sat on the edge of the tub, avoiding my urge to take another peek. To make matters worse, Ty started singing a song that he knew got under my skin. He wasn’t the greatest singer, but the words took my breath away.

“People say I’m just a rough boy. I ain’t no good for you girl

It’s a dead end street, tryin’ to love me. Yeah, I’ll wreck your world

I can see why they’re all talkin’. Lookin’ back at my past

I’ve got a bad name, but a man can change. I’m livin’ proof of that”

Damn him and his perfect song. I put my hands on my hips and walked up to the shower. Ty rinsed off the shampoo from his head and opened his eyes to see me standing there. He winked at me and blew me a kiss before continuing to distract me.

“Til my last day, til my last breath. Of everyone that can, I can love you the best

Til my last day, I’ll be lovin’ you.

All the way up, til they lay me down. Six feet under the cold hard ground.

Til my last day, I’ll be lovin’ you, Miranda Mitchell.” He always added my name at the end. Since discovering the song, he used it as a weapon against me, knowing I took it to heart every time he sang it.

He opened the shower door and pulled me inside, soaking all of my clothes. “Ty, seriously, the boys are out there and now I have to change.”

He pulled off my shirt before I could argue with him and when his lips hit mine, I knew I was done for.

Chapter 31

Ty

My singing was probably bad enough to break wine glasses, but my wife caved every time I sang that song to her. The words were so true to my life and Miranda loved hearing them. I was only able to distract my wife for a little while. I no sooner got her naked and started touching her amazing body, when one of the boys began to scream bloody murder.

To avoid her from trying to ask me more about Conner, I hurried out of the shower and attended to Jake. I wasn’t joking when I said that he loved being around his mother’s tits. Sometimes, it was the only thing to calm him down. I thought it was funny that my son already loved br**sts so much, where my wife thought I was an ass**le for even saying such things about her perfect little boys.

Secretly, he made me so proud. Although, if I ever found out some guy was looking at my daughter’s tits, I may have to commit murder. There was no way in Hell I was ever going to let Izzy date. I would jack a little mother f**ker up, if they laid a hand on my little girl.

The problem with that was I knew she was going to look just like her mother and I would be completely outnumbered. My little girl’s beauty may put me in an early grave. Hopefully her brothers would be so bad that they would scare off all the potential perverts.

Miranda smacked me on my ass and knocked me back into present time. “What are you thinkin’ about? You thinkin’ of tellin’ me about Amy yet? Ty she’s married. They better not be involved.”

She sat down in the kitchen chair and I handed Jake to her. He took to her tit faster than a speeding bullet. She rolled her eyes when I smiled about it. “Baby, I really don’t know much more than you. That is the truth. If it’s making you upset just ask your brother about it. Amy obviously doesn’t want anyone to know, otherwise she would have told you herself. They are both adults, so it’s really none of our business.”

“She’s my boss.”

“Was your boss.” I didn’t want her going back to work. Conner and I had been busting our asses so that I could give my notice and focus on running the farm. In fact, I had told my boss the news the day before. I was hoping to share it with the family when they all came for Izzy’s party.

“We talked about this. I want to still work. Your mother is fully capable of taking care of the boys. She wants to do it, Ty. Besides, don’t you like riding to work together?”

I started to answer her, but Conner came walking in the door and he had a serious look on his face. Miranda pointed at him. “You need to start explainin’ right now!”

“Simmer down, that’s why I’m here.” He sat down at the table across from us. “There’s somethin’ you both need to hear.”

“You’re goin’ to tell us about Amy?” Miranda cocked her eyebrow and I shook my head as I looked down at the table.

I heard Conner’s voice and looked at him. “Oh great, thanks a lot Ty. I’m tryin’ to help you out and you throw me under the f**kin’ bus.”

I set my hands down flat on the table. “Dude, I didn’t mean it. She tricked me into saying something.”
