them over his knee and spank the hell out of them
for trying to pull this shit on him.
    He’d been the one who’d taught them
that trick to manipulate Elizabeth into making them extra apple
tarts and they were trying to use it on him? Oh, they had so much
to learn…
    “Good morning, minx,” he said, smiling
and letting her know just how happy he was to see her as he
smoothly stepped in front of their sons and pulled her into his
arms.
    She looked better than she had last
night, but he could still see exhaustion marring her beautiful
expression. She needed this week away now more than ever and he
wasn’t going to let anything, especially the boys that he’d trained
a little too well, ruin this for her. So, pretending that he
couldn’t hear his sons sobbing quietly in a ploy to gain their
mother’s sympathy, he gave her a proper good morning
kiss.
    One of the boys, most likely Shaun,
sobbed a little louder, trying to gain his mother’s attention, but
it was pointless and they both knew it. As long as he had Elizabeth
in his arms, nothing else mattered. Besides, she trusted him and
knew that he would never ignore the children if they were really
hurt. So, when she wrapped her arms around his shoulders and pulled
him down and returned his kiss with a sweet little sigh that nearly
had him sweeping her off her feet and bringing her back to their
room, but just before he let his cock lead him around, he
remembered that they had a purpose.
    “Are you ready?” he asked as he pulled
back, pausing only long enough to tease her lips with
his.
    When he caught her worrying her bottom
lip between her teeth and shooting the manipulative boys standing
on either side of him now a look, he knew that she was having
second thoughts. It was something that he simply couldn’t allow.
So, keeping his smile easy, he reached down, grabbed both boys by
the back of their shirts and picked them.
    “Kiss your mother goodbye,” he said
firmly, ignoring the murderous glares that they were sending him as
they crossed their arms stubbornly over their chests.
    “She stays,” Noah said firmly as though
his word was law.
    Shaun seconded it with a firm nod that
earned them both a subtle shake and a reminder of who they were
dealing with. He might love his children more than his own life and
do whatever it took to keep them safe and happy, but not at their
mother’s expense and they knew it. She needed a break from this
chaos and he was going to make sure that she got it.
    “Fine!” Noah growled even as he reached over, grabbed onto his
mother’s shoulders, used his hold on her so that he could kiss her
cheek. With that done, his brother followed suit, Robert placed
them both on their feet, ruffled their hair and just because he had
a soft spot for his boys, he slipped them each a penny to buy
sweets while they were gone.
    “We’ll be back in a week,” he told the
boys as his eyes locked on his beautiful wife, who was already
starting to fret over leaving the boys.
    “Yeah, see you in a week!” Noah yelled
excitedly as he raced for the door, his brother hot on his heels,
apparently forgetting all about them as they raced towards the
sounds of Mrs. Brown in the kitchen, whom they would probably
pester until she gave in, stopped what she was doing and brought
them to town so that they could buy their fill of
sweets.
    As he watched his boys, who were
technically still babies, run out of the room to hunt down Mrs.
Brown, he shoved the terror aside and told himself that the fact
that they looked closer to three years old and acted like they were
ten years old didn’t frighten him.
    Nope, not at all.
    “They’re fine,” Elizabeth said with a
reassuring smile, no doubt reading the worry on his face and
knowing exactly what was bothering him.
    “I know,” he said, smiling fondly down
at his wife, deciding that it was easier to believe that everything
was going to be okay than to worry that there was something wrong
with his
