“No, like I said, they’re old enough to make their own decisions. Plus, Ana shouldn’t have spiked them. I appreciate you bringing them back.”
Zak pulled his car keys from the pocket of his jacket and gave Maddy one last look. He went to move away but then stepped back and kissed her cheek.
“See you tomorrow, babe.” Maddy smiled softly and gave him a finger wave.
Liam leaned down to Emma and whispered, “Try and get some sleep.” He brushed hair from her face and then kissed the tip of her nose.
Watching both boys gave me a little bit of peace. They were good lads, and Sam and Louise should definitely be proud of their boy, as should the Hoylands.
Once I’d seen them out and watched them pull away in Zak’s mum’s Mini, I wandered back into the lounge to find Maya turning the fire up.
“Okay?” I asked her.
She stood to her full height and moved over to me. “Yeah, I thought maybe if they’re sleeping down here they might need a bit more warmth.”
“Good idea.” I peered at both girls who appeared to be sleeping. “They’re both zonked. Let’s hope they’ve got everything up already.”
Maya’s arm linked mine and feeling of her warm body leaning against my side filled my chest with something strange and warm. Something that I was feeling more and more each day.
“Fancy an early night?” I asked her. “Seeing as the pair of zombie drunks have taken our spot.”
“Will they be okay? Should they be left on their own?”
“Believe me, they’re fine. They’re sitting up, they have a bowl each and they’re warm.” I kissed her forehead. “They’re perfectly fine, but I’ll check on them later. I promise.”
“You sure?” Her brow screwed up in concern.
“I run a bar and have dealt with a lot of drunks in my time. Believe me they’ll be okay.”
“Are you going to ground her or anything?” she asked, looking at the girls.
“No. I’ll give her the lecture, but she’s seventeen. Who doesn’t get legless and puke in a bowl when they’re that age?”
“Very true.” Maya laughed quietly and slapped my bum. “An early night sounds good.”
Giving the girls one last check over, I left them a lamp on and then took Maya to bed, giving her one more orgasm before she fell asleep. After that I went back downstairs to find both girls still sleeping soundly.
Chapter Forty-Seven
Will
As I watched Maddy force dry toast into her mouth, I couldn’t help but laugh. That earned me a nudge in the ribs from Maya.
“Don’t laugh at her.”
“Why not? It’s funny.”
Maddy’s eyes lifted to mine as she placed a hand against her stomach. “Maya’s right, it’s not funny. I feel hideous.”
“And it’s not even her fault.” Maya placed a glass of coke in front of Maddy. “Drink that sweetie, it’ll help.”
Maddy gave her a nod and a very small smile. “Thank you.”
“Has Ana called you to apologise?” I asked, reaching for a piece of toast.
“Nope.” Maddy picked up her glass with an unsteady hand. “I don’t know whether I want to speak to her anyway.”
“Yeah, well,” I muttered, “I do. She was stupid and irresponsible and lucky that neither you nor Emma ended up in A&E. I hope she’s going to tell her mum.”
