Emily POV

It took a good hour to get the twins down.they weren't comfortable since they were not in their room. After I got them to sleep and freshen up in the restroom I was trying to take my time. I knew Ericson wanted to give me a tour. I wanted one but why oh why did it have to be with him. I walk out of the restroom walking out of the room. I go downstairs to find Ericson sitting on the sofa watching TV and drinking a beer. "I could come back" is all I say when he notices me. He sits up smiling "no I was waiting on you" is all he says as he turns off the TV. He stands up "now, where to first" is all he says. He showed me the downstairs first he had two living rooms one was more formal.

"I have an underground shooting range and a couple of cells for when I'm entertaining company." he says and I immediately know what he means. He shows me the bar it has a stripper pole in it. I just glance at him and he chuckles going to close the door as he speaks. "I will keep it locked now that the children are around." He continues the tour showing me each room upstairs he makes sure he shows me his room. "You know the bed is big." Before he could finish I say "nice try Ericson" he smirks as we continue the tour. He showed me the theater in the game room. I'm going to need a map I think. As he continues to show me around we finally make it to the backyard he has two pools and a hot pool. Two basketball courts an outdoor kitchen to bbq. With a large fire pit. "When I had them design the hot tub I could picture you taking a dip in the hot tub while I eat you until the sun comes up."

That did it I almost melted in my underwear from the thought of it.... Hey before you judge me I'm only human! I tried to fix my face and cut my eyes but I could tell I took too long. "I could tell from the look in your eyes that the thought of my tongue exploring your body excited you. You know I could make that reality just say the words Emily." He takes a step closer "lets finish the tour Ericson." Is all I say his face falls but he continues showing me the garden's and greenhouse. We go to the horses stables and show me the horses. "Wow you did everything I thought of and more."

He watches me pet one of the horses she was all black except for a white spot on her leg. "You always said we make a good team." I sigh thinking about the good times then I push them to the back of my mind we should get back before the twins wake up. As we walk back both of us are silent. The air was pregnant with unanswered questions and Things that each of us wanted to say. Once we reach the main house we walk inside. I need to take some time to myself, but before I could speak he does. "Have you been with anyone after me Emily?" My eyes widened from his words. "That is none of your business." Is all I say as my eyes brighten from me blushing. He steps closer as he speaks. "You know what, it doesn't matter. I know they didn't touch you the way I do,do they know every part of your body? They don't know how to make you scream and shake the way I can. "

I'm suddenly stuck in the spot where I stood like I was glued to the floor. He made sure to step closer. "I know the way I used to make you scream in ecstasy, hell I still do. Or how about the way you run from me because you couldn't take it all." My mouth was so dry as he spoke. But before he could continue the doorbell rang. Saved by the bell I think. He smirks "you know I have a housekeeper if you want to go have a drink upstairs you know maybe slide Around the pole you know for exercise." He smirks a goofy smirk and I begin to laugh. Jessica walks in with Derrick. "Umm sorry we are late we had to stop by Derricks house for something." Is all she says I could see two large hickeys on her neck. I laugh as I walk to her hugging her as I whisper. "Something... Or dick?" She laughs from my words. Derrick walks in with Ericson"we have a slight problem ladies." I glance at Ericson as he walks in with another beer in his hands.

"What's the problem." I say as I sit down on the couch. "Well with all the people coming we won't have enough room." I could see where this was going "I can share with Jessica the problem solved." Is all I say. Derrick smirks looking at Ericson "WOW dude, she hates you!" He cuts his eyes at Derrick I look down as I say "that is not true." Ericson sips his drink "it's okay Emily...but that doesn't really solve the problem..you see the twins should have their own space, then my sister has kids coming so they need rooms." My stomach was in knots "your parents need their own rooms, the only ones left are me and Derricks room. I don't think it's appropriate for me and Jessica to bunk together do you Emily?" I didn't really like the sound of that.

Everyone's eyes were on me like they were waiting on my answer. "You sleep on the floor Ericson." He puts his hands up "I have a couch in the room I won't get in the bed until you ask me." Is all he says with a cocky smirk. "Dream on" is all I say then I turn walking upstairs to check on the twins. When I walk back downstairs. Ericson was the only one downstairs talking with the chef. He looks to me "Jessica and Derrick went upstairs to unpack." I laugh from his words "oh that's what they are calling it." He smirks "hey I'm happy for them" is all he says as I hear him mumble"at least someone is getting some." I rolled my eyes because I knew he didn't think that I was going to give him some. "So when does your little girlfriend get here..don't you want to keep her safe too." Is all I say I try to sound as casual as I could. He chuckles which lets me know I failed.

"Oh, I see are you jealous Ems?" I roll my eyes "hell no I just wondering how she would feel about you sharing a room with me." He laughs "yeah sure, I will act like I believe that. I don't have a girlfriend." I smirk "oh what happened to what's her name...it wasn't true love." Is all I say I knew it wasn't but I wanted to hear him say it. That he blew up this marriage for something that didn't even last. He pulls out a water twisting it open. "What do you want me to tell you Emily that I ruined something real for a thirsty little trick!.. do you want me to say that every day since then I have been beating myself up!...or do you want me to tell you how I brought this house with the hope one day that you will come back!... Or what about how I killed that bitch and had her buried in an unmarked grave!"

When he said he killed her my eyes widened. I always knew that Ericson was a killer. I don't feel bad about her death. Does that make me a bad person is all I wonder as the doorbell rings. He goes to open it and his mother walks in with his father and two of his siblings. "Your other sister should be here in 40 minutes she had to stop and get her son's medicine." Is all I hear from his mom she stops talking when she sees me. "Oh my God if it's not my favorite daughter in law!" She rushes to give me a hug. I hug her back then with his sister Evie. "I missed you I know you left my brother but next time take me with you." I laugh as Ericson acts like she hurts his feelings.

After I greet everyone I go check on the twins. Blaze was starting to wake up. Kayla was sitting looking around. She was just about to start crying for me. When she looks at me she looks relieved. "Mommy!!" She gets down rushing to hug me. "I miss my room" I smile "it's okay sweetie" is all I say and she smiles as I kiss her cheek. Blaze sits up looking around for me once his eyes land on me and he smiles. He makes his way out of the bed. He rushes to me hugging me. "I'm thirsty" is all he says. I take his small hand into mine and begin to walk downstairs to the kitchen. Kayla holds onto my neck as I walk with her on my hips.

Once we reached the last step I could hear talking. I walk into the kitchen with them and the talking immediately stops. His mother looks to me then the twins then she looks at Ericson. Who was sitting next to his brother. Blaze squeezes my hand and Kayla hugs me tightly. Evie is the first one to say something "oh my goodness they are so cute she looks so much like Genesis." His mother's eyes fill with tears. "You should have told me I missed so much!" I looked at him "can you grab me two apple juices I had the housekeeper put some in the fridge for the twins." I say nervously I didn't know what else to say. I didn't want to talk about this in front of the twins. He gets up walking to the fridge grabbing the two small juices. He hands them to me. I sit Kayla down and open it handing it to them.

Jessica walks in the kitchen she says hi to Ericson's family. After everyone is done greeting each other. She looks to me like she could read the look in my eyes. "Come on Blaze and Kayla Bear titi needs your help unpacking." Blaze looks to me "I want to stay with mommy!" Kayla skips to Jessica with a huge smile. She loves her auntie Jessica they have been close since she could crawl. I look at Blaze "if you go play with titi I promise you will have fun." He looks like he is thinking on my words then he smiles really big nodding his head. He walks away with Jessica. Derrick walks into the kitchen. He says hello to Ericson's mother and father then he ducks as Evie tries to pop him in the back of the head. "You got to be quicker than that shorty." They begin to fight in the middle of the kitchen.

His mother looks to me as the twins walk out "so you left my son to hide his children from him?...no That's not it I have known you for years you wouldn't do that." My eyes widened from her words. "What ..I would never do that to Ericson...that's not how it went down." Is all I say in my defense. Ericson's father walks to his wife as he speaks "before we jump to conclusions give her a chance to explain." Ericson walks towards me standing next to me "why don't we just sit down and calmly talk about this." He looks identical to his father and he has the same temperament. We all walk to the table to sit down Ericson pulls out my chair. I slightly cut my eyes but decided to not make a fuse over it so I sat in the chair. His mother and father look towards me "why would you leave my son and not even tell us, his family about the twins?" As she questions me I could see the pain in her eyes. She has never done anything to me but made me feel accepted and loved. But when I was starting my life over without Ericson I cut contact with his family.

I look down at the table as I speak "it's complicated but i didn't mean to hurt anyone." She cuts her eyes "what's so complicated did you leave because you found someone else?" My eyes widen I'm not the one who found someone else is all I think but I can't seem to find the words to defend myself. "That is no reason to keep Ericson from his children, you up and left him so quickly for no reason at all and now you show up years later with not one but two children." Her words cut but not as deeply as Ericson's betrayal. Before she could say another word I heard "Enough!" From beside me his voice was deep and powerful and it made me slightly jump. He groans as he downs the rest of his drink. "You want to know why she left so quickly. It's because I cheated on Emily. Oh and that's not all you remember that crazy girl that showed up at the house all those years back. Well she is the one I cheated with." His mother eyes widen first in shock then in anger. "stupido ragazzo" (stupid boy) is all she says then she looks to me "mi dispiace a nome di mio stupido figlio"(I'm sorry on behalf of my stupid son)

After she walks out her husband follows after her. "Wow Ericson and I thought I fucked up by having to take my science class over during the summer. But you have me beat...thank you so much big brother." Is all Evie says he cuts his eyes. I look at him "thank you for jumping in and saving my butt." He smirks his usually cocky smirk "anytime ems" he tries to step closer "and what a fine ass it is." He walks out and I roll my eyes as Derrick walks to me "your mother called me they should be arriving later on tonight. Probably after dinner ." I thank him for giving me the update on my parents I walk off to go help Jessica with the twins.
