My Lustful CEO

Chapter 20

Kris POV

Kane does't bat an eye at my question. I'm not sure if he is caught off guard or not, but there's this nervousness in the pit of my stomach. If he was abused as a child, I can understand his frustration now. Oh, s**t. He probably told Nora this when they were dating. Is that why Nora punishes their kids in this way?

"Yes." Pulled back into reality by his sorrowful voice, I stare back at him.

"I'm sorry." I lay my hand on top of his, to which he reciprocates positively by entwining our finger slightly so that he can rub against my hand with his thumb.

"You're not the one that needs to be sorry."

"Did Nora know?" He nods in a disapproving manner.

"She knows the s**t my father pulled on me, first handed too." I'm not even sure how to respond to that. Why do people do horrible things to people? It feels like we are going backwards in time.

"Let me talk to Asher and Mason alone when they wake up." Kane immediately stops rubbing my hand. His stone hard expression gives me chills as I try to take my hand away, but he holds it in place.

"I told you everything you wanted to hear." He's hurt. I get that, but it doesn't change what happened.

"And I appreciate that, but I need them to be evaluated by a social worker and move them to close your case." I let out a deep sigh. Leveling my head, I have to plan this out strategically.

"Now? They're still in their hospital bed!"

"Kane. I don't want to be insensitive, but I also don't want to waste any time. If Nora goes to the courts or the news first, then she could say that you were the ones that hit the kids. The judge would be forced to give her custody." I urge him as I squeeze his hand hard.

"Leak it." Stunned by his response, I stand up and he finally releases my hand.

"Excuse me?"

"Leak the truth. And put the case through. Can you get a quick decision based on an emergency?" Thinking back, this might be something I can pull off.

"Are you sure about this?" He is hesitant about this too.

"We can't risk it." I nod to agree and make the phone calls to Mateo along with Peter being the spokesperson on behalf of the police department.

Kane paces up and down the hallway as I close out the last of my phone calls. Curious, I walk up to him and guide him to take a seat. His pacing is giving me headache. He holds my left hand to his shoulder with his two hands and for whatever reason, this makes a full wave of lust hit me like a truck.

"The kids are awake." Kane finally speaks out and I throw down his hands from mine as I go to the door to see a doctor and nurse in there. The kids look mildly scared, but they are not screaming like before. It's been about four hours since Asher woke up the last time. With each passing minute, Kane was getting more and more impatient.

"The court date is for tomorrow." I offer to him, but his leg starts to shake in discomfort and uneasiness.

"Do I have to be there?"

"No. I am going to tell them that you are staying here with the kids' best interest in mind. I can handle it on my own."

"Don't." He lets out a sigh and rubs his hands against his thick short hair. "Have Keegan and Elijah go with you tomorrow." I nod if that's what makes him comfortable. Without saying another word, I walk into the hospital room as the doctor and nurse walk out.

"Hi, my loves." I say as Asher and Mason give me a weak smile. A spike goes through my heart seeing them so broken.

"Hi Kris." Mason states as I reach my place between them. He tries to get up but I pat him back down.

"You still need your rest."

"Can you lay with me?" His hopeful little eyes are too much for me to refuse, so I smile and nod at him. Not exactly dressed the best for this, I sit up on hospital bed with him.

"Can you lay with me too?" Asher's small voice almost doesn't reach me, but I look over to see his begging eyes. Asher's injuries are much worse than Mason's since he was shielding his younger brother. Instead of having Asher go to Mason, I get up and I help Mason up to lay on Asher's bed. Pushing the beds closer together, I lay in the crack as I hold both of them on my side. They are quick to cuddle up.

They didn't do anything to deserve this. f**k. They peer up at me with their doe eyes that make my heart ache for them. I sense Kane at the door watching us. The kids tense up but relinquish their worry when I give them a tight hug to let them know that they are safe.

"Your daddy won't hurt you.' I urge them to believe me as Kane continues to stand at the door and stare at us. That really doesn't help. Couldn't he have come in with some cookies or something?

"I would never hurt you two." His voice cracks a bit, but he recovers.

"Mommy said you wanted to punish us for being bad." Mason's small arm goes to wrap around Asher protectively.

"You two are such good boys that your daddy told me he's going to take you to Disneyland!" Quickly, their eyes pop up as they make sure I am telling them the truth.

"Really?" They both turn over to Kane with hopeful intentions. He does a quick glance at me before nodding immediately to the boys. They clutch onto me tightly upon realization that they are going.

"After your birthday." I c**k my head to the side towards Kane. Why after their birthday? Sensing my confusion, Kane takes a glance at me to reassure me he knows what he is doing. Using my instincts, I trust him.

"Where's mommy?" Mason shrinks down to Asher a bit more to which Asher bites down his tongue in pain, but he makes sure Mason doesn't notice. My heart skips a beat at how protective Asher is of Mason.

"She won't be taking care of you anymore. Kane will." I gesture at Kane as he takes a cautious closer to the hospital bed. Gently, he closes the door to make sure that it just the four of us having this conversation.

"Will you be there Kris?" Mason's nervous eyes search for mine, so I hesitate.

"No."

"Yes."

Kane and I answer at the same time. I said no, but I guess he has other plans. Not even looking in his direction, I pinch Mason's cheeks lightly.

"I'll have to talk to your daddy about that." I give them a soft smile as I sense they will need to rest some more. On top of that, I am going to need to have a conversation with Kane.

Kane POV

Over the course of the next two weeks, I have been trying my damn hardest not to throw Kris against a wall and tear off all her clothes. Eloquently, she was able to get my case pushed up and I got full custody of the kids about a week ago. The kids have recovered well enough that they were able to be checked out of the hospital.

Today, Hunter is throwing an end of the summer pool party and let us bring the kids. Keegan's daughter is going to meet my kids for the first time. At least they'll have someone closer in age to play with. I was worried that it would only be the adults.

Kris had to come over again last night to read a story to the kids to fall asleep. As much as it is great to have them, I won't lie and say it does hurt when it takes her for them to feel secure in their own home. The problem is that it only makes me want her more. She's already fine as hell and then she has to actually bond with my kids. That's just great.

"Is Kris coming?" Keegan asks all of us as Elijah instructs the chefs to start grilling the food.

"She's going to be a little late. Apparently she has a new client." A new client? Hunter sure has gotten close to her since she is no longer my lawyer, but I swear to God I will kill him if he lays a finger on her. Woah. That was harsh thing to think about towards my best friend. I need to chill out.

"Who is it?" Liam asks out loud as Mason tugs on my hand to ask permission to grab a soda. I nod to him as they both go inside to grab a drink.

"Don't know. Some actor I think." An actor? Are you kidding me? They're always such players, getting divorced left and right. Angrily, I take off my shirt and just have my swim trunks on. The kids come back out and I ruffle Asher's head before I lead them to the pool. Making a note to make sure that they don't go too far in. Not sure how much time passes, Kris arrives.

"I'm sorry I'm late!" She smiles kindly in a way that kind of makes you wonder if you're really a good person. I know she is.

"Woah. Woah. Kris, this is a pool party. What the hell are you wearing?" Hunter's wet body grapples her in a side hug as they face us.

"My client lives closer here than to home, so I didn't really have time to change." She shrugs and gives us a sheepish smile. These past two weeks, she has been much more comfortable around us, but now I think that she is much too casual with Hunter. What the hell is wrong with me?

"I have some swimming suits in the house you can borrow." Hunter flashes her with a flirtatious smile that Kris is rightfully so in being suspicious about.

"Why do I have a feeling there is more to that?" Kris smirks back that only makes me fist up my hands. Asher and Mason make their way out of the water to give her a hug to which she returns naturally.

"Change! Change! Swim with us Kris!" Asher and Mason jump around with Kris, begging her to get changed. Even London is excited to see Kris. Geez, how connected is she to all of us?

Kris laughs and Hunter tells her to go inside to get changed. Hunter is still smirking. What is his problem? When Kris walks out, that's when I figure it out. She shys away as her glowing lightly tanned skin is glowing across Hunter's yard. You have got to be kidding me.

She is in a black string bikini that barely covers up her t**s and her ass. Obviously uncomfortable, she goes over and hits Hunter on the back of the head. Hunter bursts out laughing.

"Damn, Kris. I knew that would look good on you." Kris snorts out a retort.

"It barely fits, thank you very much." This is ridiculous. Don't get me wrong. Her curves are better than I imagined and trust me, I have imagined them a lot. What I wouldn't do to untie those straps with my teeth. But, this isn't right. I am about to get up to grab her a t-shirt or something when suddenly, Hunter and Elijah push her into the pool.

Fuck.

Kris struggles a bit in the water and it is clear that she can't swim. I head over to her and pick her small body up and lean her against the cold tile of the pool. She sputters out some water, clearly irritated, but not pissed. Her big breasts are pushed against mine and her legs are wrapped around my torso. s**t. This was a bad idea.

"Damn it, Hunter!" She screams out as she practically thrusts her body in my direction. Though the pool water is cold, her body on mine makes it burn up. I let out almost a moaned breath into her neck to which her body does a complete shudder in response. What the hell was that? If I didn't know any better, I would say that turned her on.

Not getting a chance to see it through, Kris pushes me away a bit. f**k. I need to put some distance between us before I do anything to her. I can't lose her in my life right now and there's no way I can f**k her and have her not be pissed off at me because I'm not trying to do the emotional relationship thing, not again.

"Ow." Kris states as I gently let her go. We both get out of the water and she isn't looking in my direction. My d**k is incredibly stiff with c*m practically about to spew out just from that one contact with her. I need to sort this out before anyone sees this, not trying to freak anyone out.

"I'm going to shower." I announce as I leave my kids under Elijah's care for now.

Back in the room that I normally stay at when I am at Hunter's, I head to the bathroom to take a cold shower before stroking my c**k to make sure that I don't do anything stupid out there. After spewing out, I get out of the shower and try to find some clothes in the connecting closet only to hear a deep moaning sound from the bedroom. What?
