Chapter 1: Things Change

2 years later…

"Mick, do you mind picking up Kayla I've got that meeting at three?" Beth look across the large office towards his desk as she asked.

Mick glanced up giving her a grin, "Of course not. I think I'll take her for an ice cream cone before heading home."

Beth shook her head, "She'll love that."

Mick stood up finishing his paperwork on his last case and crossed the room to Beth. She had her head down reading some file at vamp speed her long blonde hair pulled back in a small clip, a dark pink ¾ length sleeve button up shirt hugging her upper half opened just far enough that at his angle Mick could gaze down and see her breasts. Sensing him watching her Beth sat back looking up at Mick, "See something you like?"

Mick grinned knowing he had been caught, "Always. Do you have any meetings before then?"

"No, just making sure all my paperwork is in order."

Mick gazed around Beth's desk only one photo on display, one of the three of them all laughing and holding each other. She wanted her desk to be work only but that one picture she couldn't resist having it and neither could he having a family portrait on his desk as well. They took lots of pictures the walls of the house could attest to that and the loft had plenty of photos on the walls as well. Mick picked up the picture and looked at it, "Can you believe we've had her for almost three years now?"

Beth stood up and moved into his arms hugging his waist, "It seems like she's always been ours. You're such a natural father Mick, and she looks so much like you I sometimes forget how she came to be with us."

Mick kissed her head, "Me? Don't short change yourself Beth you've been a wonderful mother. She may look like me but trust me your curiosity has rubbed off on her."

Beth grinned, "She such a happy kid. By the way Alice is coming over this weekend."

"Those two are inseparable sometimes," Mick set the picture down and moved both hands to Beth's hips. His lips moved to hers touching in a soft brush at first before deepening it caressing his tongue against her lips that she opened instantly inhaling him, breathing him in as their tongues met and danced caressing fangs causing moans of pleasure.

Mick pulled back, "Let's go upstairs baby."

Beth wrapped her arms around his neck, "That's one of your best ideas today." Mick wiggled his eyebrows as he swept her up into his arms and headed out of their office, across the hall to the loft and upstairs to their master suite.

They had celebrated their four year anniversary just 2 months ago by revisiting the spot of their honeymoon. Josef and Jean happily took Kayla for the time they loved that girl and loved watching her grow up into a bright young girl. No matter how often they made love it never got old, always passionate and special only making them want the other more.

Josef leaned over Jean's shoulder kissing her cheek, "Good afternoon."

Jean smiled back at him as she continued to fix her hair in the mirror, "Good afternoon. Almost ready for your meeting?"

Josef smirked, "Jean my love I'm always ready."

Jean rolled her eyes with a laugh as she stood up her shoulder length hair straight with a slight curl to it in portions. Making sure she turned everything off she headed for the closet and slipped her robe off as she reached for a light pink blouse and black skirt with a light pink swirl pattern on its bottom that stopped just below her knee. When she came out Josef was tying his tie his eyes on her.

Giving a soft twirl Jean smiled, "How do I look?"

"Ravishing as always my love," Josef finished his tie and moved to take her outstretched hand spinning her back into him so he could kiss her lips.

"Always the charmer," Jean pulled back straightening his tie just right.

Josef winked at her as he grabbed his jacket, "Seems we're both headed downtown…care to share a car. I wouldn't mind your thoughts on my proposal."

"I thought you were always ready?" She teased, always happy to help so glad he trusted her with his work.

"I am ready but I will concede you have a certain finesse with things," he held up a file as they walked towards the door.

"I'd love to," she took the file and walked to the waiting car with his hand on the small of her back.

David,

I'm sorry it takes me so long to respond but I will be headed to LA on business next week. It will be great to see you again after everything, I'll call you when I'm in town we can meet for drinks.

Mia

David held the letter in his hand as he thought about seeing her again; it had been a lifetime ago. He and Candice both still worked for Josef, he the head of security and her his primary legal counsel both had officers in the building making it easy for them to spend time together even when they were both swamped.

Unsure what to think of a visit from Mia David shoved the letter into his desk. He did enjoy talking to her, she knew William and as much as it hurt to think about his past it also sometimes helped. Part of him knew he should talk to Candice about these things but he didn't want things to change, they were so happy why mess with a good thing.

Seth lay breathing hard against the floral sheets his body still recovering. His body was satisfied but no matter how many times he found his release his heart never seemed to stop aching. Brittany or Brenda or whatever her name was he couldn't really remember what she had said back in the club through the daze of alcohol was starting to curl up beside him.

Sitting up quickly and getting out of bed he made for the bathroom, he didn't want to cuddle. It was too intimate. More importantly it made him think of her more and he couldn't have that, all he wanted was sex. Thankfully when he returned to the room his cell was blaring in his discarded pants.

As he retrieved it he saw the girl had gotten up making her way to the kitchen not seeming to care if he wanted to cuddle or not. "Hello…yeah I'll be there in a bit."

He hung up the phone and said a quick goodbye to his latest one night stand after he was dressed. As he left he knew what he was doing was wrong, it wasn't him but the pain in his heart seemed to lessen slightly if only for a minute when he was distracted by an eager body.

To Be Continued…
