Flame and Ink: An Anthology Read online

  Decker swallowed hard and willed his eyes not to fill with tears. Fuck.

  “I’d have kicked his ass…” He shot a look at Marie. “I mean his butt, but the kids were there.”

  “You can say ass when it comes to Richard,” Marie put in. “He is an ass.”

  Decker threw his head back and laughed. “I love you both. I just wanted to make sure you knew that.”

  Marie’s eyes filled with tears. “Oh, that’s the sweetest thing. The sweetest thing. We love you too, baby.”

  Harry nodded, and Decker leaned into the strong woman’s arms.

  The hairs on the back of his neck rose, and he stood up slowly. He turned to see Miranda walking into the backyard, her long legs bare under her sundress.

  Holy fuck, she looked amazing.

  Harry and Marie gave him a knowing look, and he held back a groan. Yep. He was going to hell. He was going to burn, and he’d deserve every moment of it.

  He fought to keep his gaze on her face and not on her breasts or her legs that never quit.

  He could do this.

  This was Miranda Montgomery. The woman who was a girl no longer, and she was not for him.

  He wouldn’t drool over her. He wouldn’t make an ass out of himself.

  Griffin gave him a weird look, and Decker groaned inwardly.

  Yep.

  Going to hell.
