“Grayson!” my mom hisses, spinning around to glare at him. She then shoots me a glare. “Sadie. You're grounded.”

“I’m nineteen.” I laugh. “I’m in college.”

“You live here,” she huffs. “You're grounded. No...” she waves her hand around before she grins. “No chocolate pudding pie.”

My lips part as I gape at her. “You wouldn’t.”

“I would.” She gives me a smug smile.

“You’re playing dirty, Mom,” I growl.

“Says the daughter who just outed me for playing with sex toys.”

“So you were playing with them?” Mark asks, making Mom’s cheeks redden.

“I’m going to answer the door,” Mom says, heading towards the doorway that leads to the entryway.

“But no one knocked or rang the bell,” Grayson says in confusion. As soon as the words leave his mouth, the doorbell goes off, and Mom shoots him a smug look.

“Guys, be nice to your mother. You're embarrassing her.”

A gross feeling fills me as he refers to her as not only my mom but Grayson’s, too. I’m glad he has her; they get along really well. Mom has even said how much she enjoys having Grayson in our lives and that he’s a good boy.

Wonder what she would think if she found out I was fucking her new stepson.

“You okay, Sadie?” Grayson asks, his playful tone gone.

“I’m fine.” I give him a little smile.

“Sadie! Your boyfriend's here,” Mom calls out.

I know she’s doing it to embarrass me, but joke’s on her because I’m so damn excited to have Declan here.

Grayson chuckles as my eyes light up, and I rush out of the kitchen into the entryway.

There he is, Declan in all his handsome glory. I’ve missed him so damn much. After he confronted his parents about calling off the engagement, things between them have been getting better.

I guess after he went to talk to Mia’s parents, he went back over and talked to them, to let them know how he felt about their absence in his life.

So, his mom planned a family vacation for the three of them. He just got back this morning.

“Hey, Sweetheart.” Declan grins, and I squeal as I run towards him. He chuckles, catching me as I leap into his arms. “I missed you–” I cut him off by smashing my lips to his, not even caring that my mom’s watching.

“Never leave me again,” I murmur between kisses.

“You know, it’s rude to do that when there are people watching,” Collin’s voice has me pulling back from Declan, breathing heavily.

“When did you get here?” I ask, raising a brow. More heat floods my belly at the private naughty look he gives me.

“They were just behind lover boy here.” Grayson nods his head to Declan.

“You two are adorable,” Mom gushes as Declan puts me down, Declan giving one of his adorable blushes.

“They’re okay,” Collin mutters.

“Don’t worry, Collin, no need to be jealous. We all know you two are together as well.” Mom grins as Carol laughs.

My eyes widen. “W-what?”
