Raelynn's P.O.V
***************************

I immediately knew something was wrong when my arm went to cuddle Ryder and he wasn't there.

Tomar was cuddled into my chest but Ryder was missing.

There hasn't been one night that he hasn't slept with me since he started walking unless he wasn't home.

I slightly slid Tomar to the side trying not to wake her as I went in search of Ry.

I checked my bathroom, then his room and he wasn't there.

The sight before my eyes as I walked into the living room gave me mixed emotions.

Tears ran down my eyes as anger consumed me. I have dreamt of this moment for a long time but I told Bryce that I wanted us to talk about this before telling them.

What if he chooses to disappear next week and go back home to California, what do I tell the kids, especially if he decides later that four children are just too much for him. How will I explain that to the kids, they would be emotionally scarred.

I know the only way Ryder would be asleep on his chest with his fingers latched onto Bryce's lip, is only if he was told that Bryce is his dad.

Also is it fair to tell Ryder before Ryan and Rush? I don't agree. But judging by how happy they look sleeping together I couldn't interfere. I think I did enough of that since their birth.

As of this moment, what ever the kids thought of Bryce would be up to him.

I decided to go and make breakfast before waking them.

As soon as I was finished, I woke Rayin and Rush up and gave them a bath.

I wasn't ready to wake Ryder up because I am sure he would be telling them about their father and I wasn't finished preparing my mind for the answers to some of the question Rush might ask.

"Mom where is Ry Ry?" Asked Rayin as I help her to put her clothes on. Normally I give all three a bath at the same time.

"You'll see him soon hunny!" I looked to Rush who was finished getting dressed. " come here and sit next to your sissy so that mommy can talk to you." I told him.

He hesitated at first probably thinking he was in trouble.

I smiled, encouraging him to come and have a seat. As soon as he's seated I get it right out before I lose the courage to.

"Remember yesterday when you said that brother's and sister's have the same mommy and daddy. And I am Tomar's mommy and Tomar's daddy is your daddy also?" I pray I am not confusing them.

"Is my daddy here mama? Will he be my prince charming?" Rayin asked which caused me to think it might be time she found a new obsession along with Rush.

"Yes your daddy is here! Do you want to meet him?" Rayin's eyes look like they were about to fall out her little sockets. Rush just remained quiet.

I took both their hands and led them to the living room, stopping in front of the couch.

Suddenly I felt Rayin's hand yank from mine. I looked to find her on the floor as she starts throwing a tantrum.

What on earth? Like really, what just happened? This is so unlike her, I don't know what just happened that caused her to react this way.

I was about to pick her up when I felt a strong arm stop me.

It was Bryce and he winked at me as he went to pick her up.

"Hey! Hey! What's wrong sweetheart?" With that Rayin automatically stopped fussing and looked at him as he held her in his arms.

She pokes her lip out in a pout before she speaks. "Ry Ry sleep with daddy and I no sleep with daddy! I wanna sleep with daddy, he my prince charming!"  She whined.

Well ain't that something. No one ever cries to sleep with mommy and they know Ry sleeps with me.

"Mommy can I sleep with daddy tonight?" I don't know who told Rayin daddy would be staying here tonight.

"Your father is a busy man he..." I was cut off.

"I would love to princess." Bryce told her but my objection was short lived by the smile on her face.

Ryder was still laying on the couch rubbing the sleep from his eyes.

However, Rush was missing.

I went to his room and found him sitting on his bed dangling his feet that couldn't reach the ground.

"Hey bud! What's wrong? Don't want to meet your dad?" I asked him as I knelt in front of him.

He shakes his head no.

"Why not?" I asked.

"He makes you cry mama!" He said still holding his head down.

The kids have caught me crying on several occasions but I always just tell them its because of the sleep monster or something so they won't ask questions.

Ryder and Rayin bought it but I should have known Rush wouldn't.

"He doesn't make me cry baby! Why don't you go say hi to him?" I begged him.

"No! You told Aunt Quinn he make you hurt and you cry! I don't like daddy!" He huffed crossing his arms.

I tried to hide a lot of things from them but sometimes Rush is just too smart for his own good. I normally try talk to Quinn and Cara in codes around them, it seems Rush has figured it out.

I heard shuffling and looked behind me just in time to see the sorrow on Bryce's face before he walked away from the door.

Oh man! What have I done now.

"OK come and eat your breakfast so mommy can take you to school."

I sat them all around their table before giving Tomar a bath as well as myself.

I told Bryce to give Rush some time to adjust to him and see that he doesn't make me cry.

After feeding Tomar and getting them all ready, Bryce took Tomar and left to go home and get ready for work, despite her cries for me.

Little over an hour later I walk into the office and sit at my desk, letting my head hit the hardwood.

"Morning Raelynn! You look like you had a long weekend. " Alyssa who sits two cubicles over from me asked. I looked up to see both her and Jane standing in front of my desk, coffee in hand.

"Good morning Ladies, I sure did!" I told the office gossipers.

Jane then leans over my desk to get closer to me. "Have you heard that the company is now owned by Bryce Radley. He is so hot and his brother's!" She fans herself.

"I can't wait to get my paws on him!" Alyssa said getting flushed! I so don't want to know what she's thinking about.

"All the ladies here are in a frenzy, trying to see who will make the billionaire bachelor fall in love with them first. I so want to have his babies." Jane continues.

"Me too! Maybe we can share him!" Alyssa seconds and they both giggle like school girls.

"Raelynn is such a lucky cow, I can't believe she's going to be working with him!" Jane mumbles as they walk away.

What? Me working with Bryce? I haven't heard anything about that! Must be rumors. I work in the analytical and advisory department, I don't see how I would be of any help to Bryce.

I shrug the thought off and went about reviewing the financial statements of the day before submitting my report to Mrs. Livingston, my supervisor.

I knocked on her door.

"Good morning Mrs. Livingston, I have the writeup from last years statement for July, would you like it now and I can also get you caught up on what you missed at the meeting." I told her.

"Oh no no! Please take a seat!" I sat down as she requested.

"Why are you still working on this floor? Hasn't anyone told you that you have been reassigned? Its been the buzz of the office. The boss requested you specially to come and work by his side, but you must be cautious, there are a lot of people here who are jealous of your sudden promotion even though they have been here for years. And also from a woman to a woman, he's a bit of a playboy the papers say, so watch out for that one ehh?" She told me.

"Are you serious?" I asked still not believing that Bryce would do this.

" yes! I suggest you hurry now! You were suppose to report to the boss first thing this morning! Please hurry before he fires me or you, I heard he has been on a mad firing spree all morning! He fired Mr. Dawson and no one knows why. So go on now!" She shooed me from her office as she went back to work.

I grabbed my purse and walked towards  the elevator to head to the top floor. As I was walking by I notiyce everyone looking at me strangely.

"What has she got that we don't?" I heard Tom ask the guy next to him who I wasn't too familiar with.

"A cunthole! I bet he's fucking her! More power to her if she wants to fuck her way to the top, I'd do the same if I looked like that." He responded to Tom.

I gasped! Oh my.

I try so hard to work for what I want and now Bryce as ruined my reputation, because he just simply couldn't let me be.

I quickened my pace wanting to get away from them.

Halfway to the elevator the door opened revealing a sexy looking Bryce in a great striped suit, his top button open and no tie. He also had Tomar in his arms! Why?

"Mama!! Mama!!" Bryce smiled and set her down and she came running like she was going to fall over. I instinctively opened my arms and caught her.

I turned to see everyone in the office staring at me and Tomar.

Then I heard the guy next to Tom open his trap hole again while Tom laughed. " Well it seems she's not only fucking her way to the top, but she's also pawning off her bastard kinky hair kid as his own, it's obvious that the babies daddy is black, what a who.." He didn't get to finishing calling me a whore because before he could get the word out fully, Bryce's fist was in his mouth. I didn't realize that he heard.

"You two pack your shit and get the fuck out of this building before I throw your ass out!" He pointed at Tom and his friend.

As soon as they collected themselves and security escorted them out Bryce turned to face everyone else.

"If I ever catch anyone of you disrespecting or gossiping about me, my children or the mother of my children, I will end you! If anyone has anything else to say I would advise you to leave right now, if not then get back to work!" Bryce yelled angrily.  I've never seen him this mad, not even when he found out about the triplets.

When no one said anything he placed his arms around my waist and kissed my temple.

Isn't it bad enough what just happened, now he's showing all this PDA in front of everyone. Furthermore, when did we become affectionate? Or is he just a dog right now trying to mark his territory.

But I'm not his!

I chose not to make a scene but threw his arm from around my waist once the elevator door closed.

"Even though I'm happy that you defended me, its all your fault to begin with! Why did you have to go ahead and promote me causing problems with everyone." I hissed.

He grabbed my chin forcing me to look at him. "Fuck everyone and their problems. If they have a problem with you they know where the door is, if not they need to sit their asses down, shut the hell up and do the work I pay them too. I would like to say the main and only reason I promoted you was because you are the most knowledgeable to work with me taking over Mr. Dawson's position after reviewing your file and talking to a few managers who have been astonished by your brilliance and eye for detail. But that's not the only reason, I need you by me daily, I need you Rae! I know I have a lot to make up for but for right now I would just like to keep you near in anyway I can and this is my solution." With that he smashed his lips onto mine. I resisted and he bit my lips causing me to open my mouth. He sucked on my tongue and my knees went weak. He caught me and Tomar started to giggle reminding me she's still in my arms.

He takes Tomar from my arms as my chest rises and fall rapidly.

As much as I try to deny him, he affects me more than I thought possible.

The elevator dings as I regulated my breathing.

Bryce winks and walk from the elevator but I still stood in place. I heard Tomar start go cry and Bryce reappeared in the door.

"Can you come on already so she can stop crying. I had to take her to work because the Nanny quit because she kept crying for you and was putting up a fight with her! I love her but please take her, all she wants is you and I have a meeting in ten minutes."

I followed him to his office which was huge. It had couches, tv, a bar, an area sectioned off by glass into a conference room with a huge table and an ensuite bathroom.

"OK what office do you want me take so I can get to work and what are you going to do about Tomar for the day?" I asked as he sat in his chair and looked at me as if his eyes could undress me. Its going to be hard keeping my composure around him, but I have to or he will only hurt me again in the end.

"Your not going anywhere! That desk over there is yours!" I look to see another desk across from the conference room. "As for Tomar, you're the only one she wants. So if you have to spend the day attending to her then I really don't mind. I had a portable toddler bed brought up as well as her toys. They are behind the couch." He explained.

His office phone rang and after speaking to his assistant for about a minute, he walked over and kissed both Tomar and I on the head before telling us to get settled while he conduct his meeting.

To say I got no work done was what really happened, unless Tomar was napping. 

Bryce had lunch brought up to us as he was too busy to leave and wanted to have lunch with his "family".

I didn't bother to argue about that bit out of fear that he would kiss me senseless again.

At the end of the day I opted to go get the triplets while Bryce took Tomar home, but as you know she refused to be apart from me.

I'm starting to think she has attachment issues but she's just a two years old, so who knows.

He wanted me to just put all the car seats in the limo and get the kids together but I refused to leave my truck.

Suppose there is an emergency in the middle of the night and he's not there? No I wouldn't depend on him.

So I decided that since Rayin and Rush are happy about him, he could follow me and drive them home, while I take Rush and Tomar.

When we got home I made dinner and after we ate, we all settled in front of the TV to watch Finding Nemo.  There was a knock at the door and Bryce left claiming it was his assistant and disappeared for twenty minutes.

The kids all sat on the carpet.

When Bryce returned, Tomar climbed in my lap and Rayin climbed in his lap. Ryder sat in between us cuddled up to Bryce's side, while Rush cuddled into me.

It was like the perfect family.

All I ever wished for.

Bryce really seemed like he was a good guy and was trying. He's a great dad to Tomar and he's perfect with Rayin and Ryder.

I guess I should give him a chance.

By the end of the movie they were all sleeping including Bryce.

I gently got up and placed Tomar on my bed and covered her.

I then took Rush and Ryder to their bed after changing them into PJ's and cleaning them up. I went back and gently took Rayin out of Bryce hold and went to put her in her bed.

I was surprised to see another princess bed in her room. It must have been what Bryce was doing.

I went and got Tomar and laid her in the princess bed that had guardrails so she wouldn't fall out.

The fact that he didn't ask me and just assumed that he could move her in did bother me somewhat. I mean what would the child's mother think. I would be affected if he did that with the triplets, were not even a couple or married and his daughter seems to have moved in.

I need to talk to him about this.

When I get back to the living room he's still sleeping peacefully.

I grab the my faux-fur throw off the back of the couch and spread it over him.

I couldn't help but want to touch him. I ran my fingers across his eyebrows, his jawline and his lips.

He started to move and I pulled my hand back. When I was sure he was sleeping I snuck back to my room.

I could really use a long steaming hot shower.

I went in the bathroom and took my clothes off and turn the shower on hot.

I sigh as the water caresses me. I stand there for a while then I lather my hair with shampoo relaxing my body. I rinsed it out then took the bottle of conditioner to lather my hair until I felt arms around me.

"Arrhh!" I scream and drop the bottle of conditioner spilling it all over.

I turned around to see Bryce smiling.

"Get out now!" I yell as I used my arms to cover my boobs.

"Why fight it Rae? We've both seen each other before and you are just as attracted to me as I am to you!" He backed me up against the wall and trap me with his arms on both side.

"Don't fight it babe! Let daddy love you." He whispered as he sucked on my neck.

I'm losing it right now. I thought I was stronger! I want this so bad but I'm so scared. My feeling are already involved.

"You taste so damn good. I never got the taste of you out of my mind or my mouth. You are my kryptonite." He breathed as he Kissed all over my collar and move to the other side of my chest.

"I won't give it to you unless you tell me you want it baby. You have to tell daddy you want it." Oh hell the last of my resolve broke as he move my hand and grab hold of one nipple and squeezing it while nibbling on the other.

"Ohh..mmmhh" yup that was me losing all control.

His hand moved from my nipple and his fingers circled my belly button before traveling further south.

"Bryceeee.." I grabbed onto his hair as his finger strummed my sensitive spot and his head went lower.

"Tell daddy you want it baby." He kissed my stomach.

"Mhhh" I moaned.

"Tell me baby." He says still kissing his way down.

"No..." I started to object until I felt a finger slide into my hotbox. "Please I want it! Please!" I moaned louder.

"Please who?" He asked as he puts one of my leg over his shoulder as he kneels in front of me.

Oh its been too long. He can have his way with me.

"Please..da.. da.. daddy!!!" I said trying to catch my breath as his mouth licked my core like an ice-cream.

"That's my girl!" He slaps my ass, insets two more fingers and licks faster bringing me pleasure I never knew existed.

He's holding me up as my body is drunk off  ecstasy.

I wonder how many girls he had to sleep with to become this good.

Before I can go any further with my negative thoughts, I hear a wrapper and then he slams into me.

All my senses have fled as the air was knocked out of me.

Suddenly his lips were all over mine and I opened up without protest.

I kissed him back just as he was kissing me. It wasn't fierce and rushed, it was slow and sensual as if it held a deeper meaning as he stared in my eyes.

He started pounding me harder and I closed my eyes trying to match him stroke for stroke.

But he was just too good. I couldn't concentrate with him inside of me.

"I missed you Rae. I really missed you, I love you so damn much." He breathed.

I opened my eyes in shock to see tears running down his cheek.

I kissed them away and kiss him with all the love I have for him, even though I didn't say it back.

Everyone knows sex can make you say and do crazy things. And saying and doing things are two different things. I want him to prove that he loves me, not just say it, before I let him know my true feelings. I won't be the one left hurt this time around.

"I love you Raelynn Sage! God knows I do, I always have!" He said before kissing me again.

"I'm going to mmmhh" I moaned out not being able to finish my statement as I explode.

"Ughhh..mmmhh Fuck baby!" He moaned as he came with me.

"I'm going to make this up to you Rae. I swear, I want you and my kids together under one roof. You're the only woman for me and will always be." He said still missing on my neck. "Let me rinse us off and we can go to bed."

I would argue if I was capable of opening my mouth or standing on my own.

I know understand what Eva was talking about in Bared to You, the crossfire series by Sylvia Day when she said Gideon fucked her senseless. Or what Ava meant in This Man trilogy when she said Jesse Ward gave her the sense fuck.

He lifted me out the shower and sat me on the bathroom counter as he dried me off.

I might as well be dead as my body parts kept flailing all over, each time he moved me.

He slipped my night gown hanging on the door behind me over my head and put his boxers back on.

I put my arms around his neck and buried my face in his chest as he carried me to bed.

He pulled the sheet back and laid me down and pull the covers up. He turned to leave the room, but I didn't want him to go even though I know he should so I don't get too emotionally involved.

"Bryce!" I called out.

He turned around.

"Don't go!" I begged.

"You sure?" He asked not knowing what to do.

"Yes, just for tonight."

"OK love." He said and climbed into bed with me. He pulled me closer to him and tucked my hair under his chin as I laid on his chest listening to his heart beat.

"Raelynn we should talk about what happened six years ago." He said.

I wasn't expecting that.

"OK. Where do you want to start." I asked.

"How about the first day I met you?" He responded.

We both looked up to see my door swing open and a sleep Ryder enters.

"Hey son! Come her." Bryce says picking him up as he walked towards him.

"What are you doing up?" Bryce asked him.

"I have to protect mommy and daddy." He climbs off Bryce and lays in the middle between both of us before going back to sleep.

We both giggle.

"You know our son would suck as a security guard right? He better stay in school." Bryce jokes.

"I know but he's so sweet!" I said running my fingers through his hair as I watch his sleeping form.

"I have a question for you and I feel really bad having to ask this but how do you tell Rush and Ryder apart?" He said seriously.

"It's fine. I couldn't tell them apart either in the beginning, I had bands on their arms when I brought them home from the hospital ." I laugh. "But Rush is a bit shorter than Ryder, his hair is wavier, he has a mole, his voice is a little charming one and he's very smart, reads a lot and loves dinosaurs. Ryder has a slick smile, very intense eyes just like yours, he's a bit taller and has a little bit more body than Rush, his hair is straighter and he has just a few tiny freckles, not really visible unless you pay attention, he loves cars and loves to protect his brother and sister. His voice is also a little more firm like yours and he's always the one getting into trouble or getting the other two to go along with him, very mischievous and always repeating everything bad."

"I think I can remember that, that will help a lot because they are very identical. Can you believe we made them. I think that's what shocked me the most when I saw them." He explained. "I know you must be tired, go to sleep we can talk tomorrow. Good night beautiful." He leaned over Ry and kissed my lips gently.

"Night Bryce." I heard him start to snore lightly after I minute as I laid there with my thoughts trying to figure what I just got myself into and what I was going to do before drifting off.

"Mommy i'm hungry!" I heard a voice say as I'm shaken from my sleep.

I look to see Ryder sitting up looking at me.

He woke up fifteen minutes before the alarm.

"Mommy, where's daddy?" He asked looking sad.

"Maybe he's in the bathroom!" I said collecting him out the bed and checking the bathroom.

No Bryce!

I checked Rayin's room to see her and Tomar still asleep. I checked Rush next and he was still asleep.

After checking the entire house I checked the driveway to see his car missing.

I called his phone and it kept going to voicemail on the last ring a woman answered saying he wasn't available and hung up.

If this isn't deja vu then I don't know what is.

Only thing this time, I'm not left with three kids but rather four.
