"I am sorry you couldn't go with the girls today Emma" I tell my niece honestly rinsing off some fruit in the sink. She has been pouting in the kitchen ever since she found out the girls left nearly an hour before she got here.
"Mom could just drive me to the boutique" she grumbles.
"Emma they are teenage girls they may want time to themselves" Mia says for the fifth time.
"I am a teen too" she argues. I watch her move her hair behind her ear in a very Mia fashion.
"Thirteen and sixteen are different" Mia argues back.
"I am going to see what the boys are doing" Emma sighs stomping out of the kitchen.
"The change is upon you" I say in a deep creepy voice slicing the fruit slowly.
"You're telling me" she replies sarcastically. "It's like the moment she got her period she lost her mind. Phoebe wasn't like that, was she?"
"Phoebe is different" I explain placing a bowl of sliced fruit in front of her. "Having Phoebe is like having a second son, she is very low maintenance."
"Lucky" Kate says entering the kitchen. "Having Ava was like giving birth to a more independent version of me and I don't have to tell you how independent the original is."
"You are early the girls won't be back for another few hours" I inform her offering her some fruit.
"No, thank you" she says pushing the bowl away. "I want the drink that comes from grapes."
"Christian says you are not allowed in the cellar anymore" I inform her. She continues to the cellar door as if she hasn't heard me. "You always take his best wine."
"He could ban her from the house and she would still find a way into his cellar" Mia laughs as I get wine cheese out of the fridge.
"Elliot would never let me spend half the amount Christian spends on wine" she says returning with two bottles.
"That is because my brother doesn't understand the art of fine wine" Christian says taking the bottles from her. "I am saving these for Christmas" he says heading toward the cellar.
"Nearly twenty years and your husband have not changed" Kate grumbles.
"Mom" EJ yells running into the kitchen with Emma hot on his heels. "Teddy is going to surprise Ava, Phoebe and Joni with lunch can I go with them?"
"I want to go too" Emma adds.
"I didn't invite either of you" Teddy teases as he enters the kitchen. He kisses his aunts cheeks before sliding up to me to steal some cheese.
"Teddy, please" Emma whines. "You and Joni leave tomorrow."
"Okay, but you have to stop whining" Teddy says cringing. "Mom can I barrow your car."
"Sure, but Tom took the girls in one of the SUV's" I inform him. "There should be plenty of space."
"Not with their purchases" Teddy tells me shaking his head. "Phoebe won't be a problem, but Joni and Ava will probably fill up the car."
"Joni, likes to shop?" Emma asks curiously.
"On a good day" Teddy says.
"Is that why you gave her your credit card?" Christian asks returning from the wine cellar.
"I did not give her my credit card" Teddy says dismissively. His whole demeanor changes, his back stiffens as he takes a defensive stance. It kills me that their relationship has dissolved to this point. Their pride is equal, as well as, their stubbornness so I do not see this ending anytime soon.
"I saw you give her your card" Christian argues sitting the bottles in front of Kate.
"I said what I said" Teddy says leaning against the counter. I sigh, waiting for the argument to begin.
"You are starting to sound like my dad" Joni says walking into the kitchen. She walks straight into Teddy's arms burrowing deeply into his chest.
"We were going to surprise you" EJ grumbles.
"Maybe next time" Ava says tasseling his hair playfully.
"You girls are back early" Mia says.
"We had a slight change of plans" Phoebe says slowly eyeing Christian.
Teddy
"What type of change?" I ask before dad has a chance to. I pull Joni's hair when she tries to burrow deeper into my chest as if she didn't hear me. "What type of changes?" She smiles at me, giggling when I tighten my grip on her hair. "You are hiding something" I accuse.
"We can talk later" she says pulling against my hand to kiss my chin.
"What's the damage?" Aunt Kate asks Ava breaking us out of our moment.
"Joni, bought everything" she informs them making my eyebrows rise.
"Everything?" I ask her softly.
"Everything" she says laughing.
"Your dad is going to kill you" I laugh.
"He will probably ask you to hold on to it again" she says slipping her card out of her pocket handing it to me.
"Why is your dad going to kill you?" EJ asks.
"Because I am technically banned from using my credit card" she says honestly. "He asked Teddy to confiscate it after my mom and I spent a little more than expected."
"A little more than expected?" I say. "You should go into public relations the way you spin things. She and her mother spent seventy thousand dollars in one afternoon. Her dad called the card company just to make sure it wasn't and error then he called me and told me to take it away from them."
"In our defense, my dad confiscated my mom's card two months prior and she was just getting everything she had wanted over those two months and some things for my new apartment" she defends.
"She bought a fifteen thousand dollar painting for your college apartment" I scoff.
"She bought it for their house she just didn't want my dad to see it so she left it at my place" she grumbles.
"Dad can we go to a party tonight" Phoebe yells. I am just now realizing she has been nervously standing there squeezing Liza's hand for dear life.
"Absolutely not" he says without pausing.
"Please it is just a small get together at a friend's house" Ava adds.
"Even I am going" Liza interjects. Now that was saying something, Liza doesn't do anything, but school and band.
"Teddy and I will go with them to ensure that they stay out of trouble" Joni says innocently.
"We will?" I ask.
"Yes, we will" she says smiling softly at me. "What's the worst that can happen?"
Twelve hours later
I should stop, I should really stop, but I can't. Her moans are a mixture pleasure and pain at this point, but I need this.
"Argh Teddy bychit" she groans solidifying my decision not to stop. Joni goes from English to Spanish to Russian when she is on the brink of… I pulled out just in time to watch her squirt all over my bed. She collapses back shivering. I look down her body seeing the road map of my passionate rage. She is covered in bite marks and finger size bruises, but it's not enough.
I grip her knees spreading them as far as possible and thrust back into her. Her walls grip me like a vice making my eyes cross. I grind my knees into the mattress them as leverage to force my way deeper into her core. I grunt into her ear unable to stop myself from biting her ear lobe. Her nails dig into my scalp as she forces me to raise my head and look at her. I expect to see pain or hurt in her eyes, but instead I see the acceptance and the love she has always shown me since day one. She wipes the sweat from my forehead and spreads her legs wider welcoming my anger.
How did we get here?
