The Billionaire's Unwanted Virgin (24 page)

Beth dissolved into fits of giggles,
and the rest of the assembled crowd burst into laughter before adding their
more appropriate birthday messages.

"Minx, I told you not do
that." Lakota swung the little girl high up in the air and winked at
Alice.

Beth screeched in delight and then
scrambled to be put down.

"Cake, we can have cake now.
Mummy, you did say we could have cake when Alice got here." Mary smiled at
her daughter and rolled her eyes at Alice.

"She helped me make it, and she
has been desperate to get her hands on it ever since. I'm surprised she's
lasted this long, to be honest. You're late. What have you two been up
to?"

"Nothing," both Lakota and
Alice said in unison, and he added," Nothing at all."

Alice didn't dare look at him. Her
cheeks burned as it was, and she wanted the ground to swallow her up. They had
in fact been up to plenty. Impromptu quickies in public locations were Lakota's
current kink, and she wasn't wearing any underwear under her dress, because
they'd had to leave the car park elevator in a hurry, when they'd realized the
CCTV cameras were working.

Lakota had simply grinned like the
cat that got the cream, or should that be the man who'd got her off, by licking
her into an earth shattering orgasm before taking her fast and hard from
behind.

She had barely had time to catch her
breath before the doors had swung open on their floor, and Lakota had whisked
her past the security guard. The man had not looked amused.

Not so long ago, Lakota wouldn't have
dared risk such exposure. However, Selina had been exposed for the liar she
was, after she'd made the mistake of actually pressing charges. She had hung
herself with her claim that Lakota had raped her that night. There had been no
evidence of any sexual intercourse, and Percy had worked his magic in record
time. There wasn't any legal recourse that man did not know about, and Selina
had cracked under his line of questioning. She had left the country in
disgrace, in fact, and the last remnants of any restraint had fallen off
Lakota. Their sex life and their marriage had never been happier.

The icing on the proverbial cake had
been the day the private investigator Lakota had employed had managed to trace
Mary to a tiny town in Arizona. Beth's mum had been reluctant to return to
London at first. It had taken an awful lot of tear-filled phone calls to
convince her, and there was still a lot they hadn't discussed, but no one could
doubt Mary's love for her daughter. After another stint in rehab Lakota had
helped Mary to obtain an apprenticeship in a local
 
bakery.
 
Baking had always been in Mary's blood, and it
seemed therapeutic for her, and all helped with her road to recovery. After an
awkward start, mother and daughter had grown close again, and Mary seemed to
have finally put her guilt about Beth's illness behind her. Sometimes, the
shadows in her eyes still spoke of the nightmares she carried with her, the
years away, she refused to talk about, and the family respected her wishes. In
time she would tell them, and if she never did, it really didn't matter.

After everything they had gone
through as a family they had emerged stronger than ever. Alice smiled at Lord
And Lady Langton, who were proclaiming their enthusiasm for the cupcakes that
Beth had apparently made all on her own, and said a silent prayer to the powers
that be. It had been a truly miraculous few months.

The biggest miracle of all though was
happening right under her fingertips. Alice leaned back into Lakota's
comforting warmth when he wrapped his arms around her middle. He placed one hand
on her abdomen, which was already starting to show signs of its precious cargo,
and nibbled her earlobe.

"Ready to tell them our news, my
sweet?"
