Chapter 71
Sterling
He stepped out onto the porch and his eyes went straight to Joy, kneeling beside the garden,
pulling weeds. He leaned against the bannister as he waited for Slonsky and Casey to arrive. He
knew she was working for Lukas and he had asked her toe spend time with Lily. Nobody had
told Lily that her future sister inw was her mate’s secretary. They had opted to let Casey do that if
she wanted. Sasha brought a tray of tea out and set it on the table. Joy looked up at her and smiled.
Sasha poured the tea and Sommer ran out onto the porch.
“Is that your tes, Sasha?” She inhaled deeply as Sasha poured another mug. “It is,” she eximed
excitedly. “Mama,e get some. This is so freaking good.”
Joy got up and wiped her hands on her shorts. Sterling moved towards the table, pausing beside
the stairs to let his eyes run over Joy’s body. He hated that they had agreed to pretend like they had
never-
“Dad, do you want some?”
His eyes snapped to his daughter as he nodded. “Sure.”
She handed him a cup before going back inside, Joy smiled at him and his heart sped up.
“I hear Casey ising today.”
He nodded. “She is almost here
“That’s good. I’m sure the girls will enjoy herpany.”
Sommer eyed them. “Y’all are being so weird.”
Joy red at her. “What do you mean?”
Sommer rolled her eyes and snagged a cookie. “You have been here for years, Mom. Just fuck
and get it over with. I’m gonna go and wait for Casey Inside. Fucking weirdos,” she mumbled as
she went back inside.
Joy stared after her, before turning to look at the garden. She sipped her tea quietly until he
stepped up beside her.
“Joy-”
“I think I will be leaving the n,” she said, cutting him off.
His body jerked as if she had pped him. “Why?”
“Because what we did all those years ago can’t happen again.”
She set her tea down and went back to tending her garden. He was about to say something when
Caseynded in the yard and Slonsky slid off of her back. His feet hit the ground and he rolled his
shoulders as she shifted back.
“Tell me again why you wanted a dragon?,” he asked.
She giggled. “Because, Daddy, all my siblings are dragons. Now, I don’t feel left out. I’m just happy
that Lani could give me one. I love Jenna alot.”
She ran over to Sterling and threw herself into his arms. “Hey! I missed you, Papa,”
Sterling hugged her tight as nsky walked over. “I missed you, too.”
She pulled away to beam up at him. “What time is Lily getting home?”
“In about an hour.”
“Where’s S
Sommer?”
He led her inside and went to the living room where Sommer sat reading a book. She looked up and
shut her book
“Hey, Casey. Long time.”
Casey smirked. “My brother is a ve driver.”
Sommerughed. “You’re just realizing this? I’ve known since the day
the day I met him,”
Sterling headed back outside, leaving the girls to gossip by themselves. He came to a stop when he
saw Slonsky on his knees pulling weeds with Joy. Jealousy filled him and he stormed off the porch.
Slonsky nced at him with an eyebrow raised as he went by. He refused to admit that the fear of
them choosing to be together without him had been bothering him a lottely.
Now, Joy was talking about leaving the n. Was she nning on going to Deegan to be with
Slonsky? His jaw clenched. If they did, he would move the entire to convince them they all
belonged together. He walked down the driveway to where the road broke off in a fork with one
leading directly to Lily’s school and the other deeper into the n territory. He made it to her school
just as she was leaving the grounds. She grinned at him as she ran

“Dad. I didn’t know you wereing,”
“I didn’t know I was either.”
“Are you okay?”
“Yeah. Just needed to get away from the castle, I figured since we hadn’t spent much time together
lately, that I would walk you home.”
“Okay.” They started walking in silence and after a few minutes she sighed. “Have you heard from
Lukas?”
“No and yes. What are you asking about?”
“Does he talk about me?”
“Every time. He asks how you are d
doing. He loves you very much.”
“He visits me in my dreams every night.”
“Does he?”
“Mhmm. He shows me some of his memories.”
He tensed. “Does he?”
She nodded. “Most of them are good.”
“I wasn’t always a good father, Lily.”
She leaned against his shoulder. “I know. Lukas told me that for a long time you were spelled and
that after that there was damage to your rtionships that made it remain bad.”
He nced at her. “You and Lukas seemed to have gotten close.”
She smiled softly. “We understand each other more.”
“That’s good.”
She linked their arms together. “Can I ask you something?”
“Sure.”
“Is the advice you give me good advice?”
“Yes. Why?”

love them, you shouldn’t either.”
She kissed his cheek and dashed over to Slonsky. “Hey, Papa Slonsky! Where’s Casey?”
“Inside with Sommer.”
He turned his attention back to the garden. She touched his shoulder.
“Can you help me with something?”
“Sure.”
He got up to assist her. She led him several yards away and dropped her bags. She took a
defensive stance and heughed.
“Sasha’s been teaching you, has she?”
“Yep. I heard you were her teacher and I want to beat you up.”
He smirked. “You can try.”
Sterling leaned against the bannister as he watched them spar
them spar for a whil
while. Joy got up and went inside. Lily nced at him and gestured to the door.
“Go after her, Dad. You deserve to be happy, too. He shook his head, but she pushed her aura out
‘Go tell her you love her,”
She knocked Slonsky onto the ground andughed in his face. He got up.
“Again!”
Sterling sighed as Lily red at him threateningly. He held his hands up in surrender and went to
find joy. He stopped outside of her door and hesitantly pushed it open. She froze, staring at him as
she held her shirt up to her chest. He shut the door quietly behind him, before approaching her.
“Sterling.. what are you”
He took her in his arms and pulled her close to kiss her. Her shirt dropped to the floor as she melted
against him, kissing him back. Her fingers moved through his hair and she moaned softly. He
pulled back slightly.
*I have watched you for years, loy. I have seen you with our Lily and I’ve fallen more in love with
you every time. She hase so far and she wants love even after everything. Can’t we just take a
page from her book and be happy together? No hidden agendas or hiding our feelings. Tell me you
don’t feel something for me and I will leave.”
She sighed. “I don’t lie to people, Sterling. You know I tried that.” She touched the top of his
temporary mark. “And you saw straight through it.”
He picked her up and took her to the bed where he slowly stripped the rest of her clothes off,
leaving kisses along her body. She pulled his shirt off and he let his pants drop. She gulped when
she saw his already erect cock.
“I’ve wanted you for a long time,” he murmured, stroking his cock.
She leaned forward to run her tongue over his abs and licked his tip. He groaned. She took his tip in
her mouth, sucking hard. He bucked, pushing his length into her mouth. She giggled around his
shaft and blinked up at him innocently as she slid down on him again.
“Fuck!”
He pulled away toy her on her side. He bent her top leg at her knee and pped her ass as he
slid inside of her. She cried out and he bent down to swallow her next set of moans as he thrust into
her repeatedly. She rocked her hips, riding his cock and he moved faster.
“Toy,” he growled. “Be mine.”
She wrapped her arm around his neck and kissed him deeply. He closed his eyes as her pussy
started to squeeze his cock. His hands went to her hip to hold her still as he mmed into her
harder.
“Sterling!,” she moaned.
He lowered his head to capture a nipple and rolled it between his teeth. Her back arched and she
exploded around him. Her juices ran down his shaft and he groaned, pushing deep to let his cum fill
her. Hended on top of her, panting. She ran her fingers through his hair.
“I think I’ve been yours since that night you walked into my
He kissed her shoulder. “Good.”
“Dad. Lani is looking for you.”
He rolled his eyes. ‘I’m busy.‘
“Stop banging Joy, Dad, Lani needs help with the girls.”
He growled. “Stay in yourne, child.‘
restaurant.”
Sheughed. ‘Whatever, Dad. Five minutes or I’ming and dragging you out myself.
Sasha cut their link and he cursed. He pulled out of Joy and stood up. He quickly got dressed as
she watched him amused.
“Sasha7
He nodded. “How did you- she linked you, too, didn’t she?”
She grinned. “Sure did.”
“Can Ie back tonight?”
She trailed her fingers up his arm. “I suppose so, if we’re gonna give this a go.”
He leaned to peck her lips again. “I’ll see you in a
abt.”
He tucked his shirt in on the way to the door and nced over his shoulder at her, grinning like a
fool when she blew him a kiss. He opened the door and came face to face with Slonsky who was
about to knock on her door. He narrowed his eyes and stepped into the hall as Slonsky backed
away.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t know you were with her,” he told Sterling
Sterling flicked a piece of imaginary dirt off of his shirt. “What do you want with her?”
“Nothing now.”
Sterling eyed him. “You want her, don’t you?”

“I did, yes.”
Sterling eyed him and leaned forward to lift Slonsky’s shirt up. Magdon growled an aroused growl
when his mark was still etched into Slonsky’s skin. “If she’ll have you, go for it, but I’m not going
anywhere. Not this time.”
The door opened behind him. “Sterling? Donald? What’s going on?”
Sterling eyed Slonsky. “Yeah, Donald, what’s going on?”
“1. ummm.” He shifted nervously. “I was justing to say.. Umm.”
“He wanted to be with you,” Sterling told her.
“What?”
Slonsky rubbed his neck. “Sorry. I‘
Sterling shrugged. “I told him if you would have him, that’s okay with me. I learned my lesson trying
to make my mates turn their back on someone else they want.” He shrugged. “But just know I’m not
going anywhere, nor will I not fight for you.”
He turned towards her to kiss her lips. “I’m saying that if you want both of us, you can have both of
us, just tell me right now,”
She looked at Slonsky, before slowly nodding. “None of us have mates anymore…”
“Okay
so you know, I will be back in a few hours. If you are here or not here, I aming back to make
love to her. I will be in her bed tonight, so you make your decisions based on that information.”
He walked away, leaving them standing there in shock. He was curious to see exactly what their
decision would be. He jogged downstairs to where Lily held Lucy in her arms. She eyed him.
“How’d the advice go?”
He
her a smile. “It has always been the best advice I’ve ever given.”
