“No what Father gibe me,” Lilly shook her head and Jasmine turned to look at her confused.
“What did your father try to give you Lilly?” Jasmine asked trying to remain calm.
“Slimy peabut bubber,” Lilly shook her head and Jasmine softly gasped.
“Lilly, you didn’t eat it did you Baby Girl?” She asked kneeling down in front of her daughter. “Lilly, did you eat the peanut butter?”
“No Mommy,” Iris shook her head and Jasmine’s smile lit up the room. Daemon and Lucian looked at each other intrigued. “I memer you say no eat peabut bubber. I no eat it. Father got mad me Mommy.”
“I’m sorry Lilly, but I think he forgot you are allergic,” Jasmine kissed Lilly’s hands. “I’m so glad you remembered and didn’t eat it Baby Girl, you know what? I think this calls for ice cream for being such a big girl and remembering such an important thing. Will you go potty and wash your hands and I’ll go ask my friends to borrow their car since Mommy’s is being silly, please?”
“Otay Mommy,” Lilly beamed and rushed to Jasmine’s room.
Jasmine took a deep breath and ran her fingers through her hair before sighing. “Call Asher and go get her car seat, Lucian,” Daemon said as he tried to reign in his anger.
Just then Jasmine’s phone lit up. She grabbed it and frowned at something. She did something then gasped, “Daemon,” She started shaking and Daemon rushed to her side. He took the phone from her shaking hands and growled.
“Go get her seat NOW Lucian, we’re taking them to our place,” Daemon fumed as he looked down at the picture of all Daemon, Lucian, Lilly, Jasmine, and Mason standing outside talking with the text beneath it, I will have you and Lilly as soon as I get rid of the ex and the new guys. You, me, and her will be together forever soon.
“Asher is coming with her car seat,” Lucian said as he hung up his phone. “The car is at the shop so he will be here soon.”
“All done Mommy,” Lilly said coming into the room.
“That’s great Sweetie,” Jasmine smiled as she knelt down and hugged her daughter tightly. “Let me introduce you to my friends, this is Daemon and Lucian. This is my four-year-old daughter, Lilly.”
“Nice to meet you,” they said in unison.
Just then there was a knock on the door. “Stay here,” Daemon said, and Jasmine nodded. A couple of minutes later he came back, “This is our friend, Asher.”
“Hi,” Jasmine said softly as her daughter moved closer to her seeing the six foot something tall man with dark brown eyes and black hair in a military cut.
“Mommy, hungee,” Lilly said pulling on Jasmine’s shirt.
“I know it’s super late but how about we go see if someplace has chicken nuggets?” Daemon asked making Lilly smile brightly.
“We just need to make sure wherever we go doesn’t use peanut oil,” Jasmine said, and Daemon nodded in understanding.
“What if we just make our own?” Asher asked. “A lot of fast-food places don’t really pay attention to that kind of stuff. I’m sure Raze is home by now, he could go ahead and get started on them so some could be ready for her by the time we get there.”
“Hey Sweetie,” Jasmine knelt down in front of Lilly, “How about we go to Mommy’s friend’s house tonight and make our own chicken nuggets and have ice cream also for being such a big girl? Will that be okay with you?”
“French fries?” Lilly asked and Daemon nodded.
“Yes, we can make our own French fries also,” He smiled softly.
“Gumby Bear Pichu come too?” Lilly asked and Jasmine nodded.
“Yes, Grumpy Bear and Pikachu can come with us, will you go grab them while Mommy gets some clothes ready for us to stay the night?”
“Yay, otay Mommy,” She took off to her room and Jasmine stood then turned to Daemon.
“I’m sorry Daemon,” she said wiping her hands on her jeans.
“For what?” He asked confused.
“All this,” she waved her hands around. “All this drama. All my problems, I promise I will figure something out and it won’t affect my work schedule.”
“I already said don’t worry about it,” Daemon said watching her closely. “Now it’s already three in the morning, go get your stuff together so we can get the both of you fed and into bed. It’s super late and I’m sure the both of you are tired.”
“Yes Sir,” she said automatically and headed to her room missing the smirk on all three of the men’s faces and glints in their eyes.
“Raze is making the food now but said we don’t have any ice cream,” Lucian said hanging up his phone. “I will head to the store and get some once I know what kind to get everyone.”“Whoa there Little One, who all do you have with you?” Asher asked as the spitting clone of Jasmine walked into the living room.“Gumby Bear, Pichu, Twhywhite Spakle, Spite,” she said nervously.“Dude, I love Pikachu and Grumpy Bear,” Asher smiled hugely. “I don’t know the other ones sorry, but I think it’s cool you have a dragon.”“That Spite,” She smiled shyly.“That’s Twilight Sparkle’s little dragon buddy Spike,” Jasmine smiled as she came into the room with a couple of backpacks. “I just need to get the meds from the kitchen, and I think we have everything for the night. Clothes, toothbrushes, brushes, her blanket…” She trailed off thinking. “Oh, I need to get her favorite cup also. Sweetie, why don’t you give me all your buddies and go get a couple of your movies? Daemon, Asher, and Lucian don’t have
“Wow,” She whispered when they pulled up to a large mansion. “You like?” Daemon asked and she nodded. “It’s beautiful, Daemon,” She whispered. “Mommy, berry lies,” Lilly gasped in awe. “I see the fairy lights,” Jasmine smiled softly as she got her daughter out of the car. “Raze likes to keep them up all year round,” Lucian smiled as he pulled the backpacks and ice cream out of the car while Asher grabbed the bags of movies and stuff animals. “Come on in,” Lucian smiled, “Home sweet home.” “Hey guys, finished just in time,” Raze said as he came out of the kitchen. “Who’s the little girl that loves chicken nuggies and French fries?” “Oh me!” Lilly beamed as she turned away from Jasmine’s chest to look at the six-foot four man with long black hair, olive skin, and bright blue shining eyes. “Dat me!” Jasmine looked up from looking at her daughter
“Promise?” She sniffled as she looked up at him with tears still streaming down her face. “Promise, promise,” He smiled sadly as he wiped them away. “I swear it.” He kissed her nose then chuckled as some tears got on his lips. “How do you know the guys anyway?” “I work for Daemon as a bartender,” She answered sniffled. “Well, I did, I don’t know about now with everything going on.” “We will discuss that later,” Raze said wiping her tears again. “Hey, sorry to bother you two,” Daemon said coming into the room. “Speaking of the devil,” Raze chuckled making her giggle. Daemon looked at them confused then shook his head, “Anyway, um, Little One ate five chicken nuggets and some fries and drank all her apple juice. Can she have that ice cream now?” “Chocolate chip cookie dough?” Raze asked and Daemon smirked. “Oh, she’s why that’s the only flavor you will
“The stalker left a sticker on her car and sent a text that showed me, Lucian, Asher, and the girls along with her ex in her yard when the ex was dropping off Little One. He claimed the girls would be his after he deals with us and the ex.” “Fuck that,” Raze growled. “Exactly,” Daemon nodded in agreement. “The ex, Mason,” he said his name like it was acid, “oh boy, that asshole.” “What did he say?” Raze asked. “I record every conversation since I left him,” She whispered as she played with his necklace. “For evidence in case he ever tries to dispute anything while I try to save up money to continue with the divorce. I filed but he’s refusing so it’s ugh.” “Can I hear it please?” Raze asked. “You’re not going to like it,” Daemon warned and Raze nodded. “Here’s the text,” She whispered as she showed him the message from the stalker. Raze tightened his grip on her and took a de
“Here’s the bathroom,” Raze said as he opened a door. “Thank you,” She smiled softly. “Come on Lilly, let’s get your teeth and hair brushed.” “No baffy Mommy, me seepy,” She yawned. “You can take one tomorrow,” Jasmine nodded, “It’s way past our beddy time.” “Look at you two,” Raze smiled as Lilly came out in her Care Bear pajamas and Jasmine in black leggings and large black skull shirt. “Mommy tory?” Lilly asked as they got on the air mattress in the media room while Asher put the Pokémon DVD on. “Just a small one, okay? Jasmine asked. “It’s really late.” Lilly nodded and Jasmine thought for a moment, “Which one?” “My fabrit,” Lilly whined, and Jasmine smiled. “Oh, that one,” She cleared her throat, “Okay, once upon a time there was a little girl with long black hair and gray eyes,”“Wike me,” Lilly smiled, and Jasmine smiled.“Exactly like you. Well, she w
“Shhh, come here Little Flower, let Mommy sleep a little longer,” Jasmine started to wake feeling her daughter start to leave her arms. She tightened her hold on her and forced herself to wake up even though she was so exhausted. “Let go Trouble,” Raze’s thick sleep filled voice filled her ears behind her. “It’s just Daemon getting Little One since she’s awake.” “I’m awake,” Jasmine yawned and let go to stretch. “No,” Raze growled tightening his hold on her stomach. “You were up and down all night, go back to sleep.” “My daughter’s awake so I’m awake,” Jasmine yawned again but tried to scoot closer to him anyway, making him chuckle. “Just lay with me while he gets her some breakfast, okay?” Raze asked and she hummed while nodding into his chest. “We will get up in just a little bit.” She breathed in his scent of cigarettes, leather, and something that reminded her of the forest. It was just something uniqu
“Don’t make me repeat myself, Jasmine,” Mason’s voice filled the air. “You know what happens when you piss me off.”“I’m sorry Mason, I was taking care of Lilly. She had a hard time sleeping last night. What did you say?” She asked softly. “Seriously?” Mason yelled, “So fucking stupid.” He sighed, “Where the fuck are you? I want my daughter and you aren’t at the fucking house that I fucking bought you with the stupid ass money you insisted on having when you tried to fucking leave me. That house is mine or did you fucking forget that? You didn’t get very far from me if you are still living in the stupid ass building you call a house. It’s a fucking shed. Quit your fucking shit Jasmine and get your shit together. You are still my fucking wife and I want my goddamn daughter. Now where the fuck are you?” “You said you were done with me Mason,” she said blinking back tears. “You said you didn’t want Lilly and you didn’t want the marriage when I found you ch
“Everything okay?” Jasmine asked as they came back into the living room and smiled seeing her on the floor with Lilly coloring in some books, they had brought with them. “Yeah,” Raziel smiled even though she could tell it was forced. Something was going on more than just Mason, she could tell. “We were just talking about heading to my family’s cabin for a few days,” Asher said shrugging. “Might be nice to get out in the country and away from everything for a few days. How does that sound to you? Away from the city and all the noise?” “That sounds really nice,” She beamed then frowned, “I would need to go to my house first and get a few things.” “Like what?” Raze asked, “I thought you grabbed stuff for a few days.” “I only grabbed stuff for one night,” She admitted. She shook her head, “I didn’t think we would stay more than a night.” “Just order it online and have it sent to this address, T
