Keeping Their Love (Griffin Brothers #7) by Crystal Perkins Read Free Book Online

Darcy.
She really saved our business.”
    She waves him off, but
she’s smiling. We go into a small office, and he pulls the earrings
out. They’re beautiful, made of sapphires and diamonds. Pretty
ironic. I thank him again and pay.
    “Thanks for
everything, Darcy.”
    “Anytime, Ryan. I’ll
see you guys later.”
    I walk back into Mood
and can barely see Chloe over the pile of fabric on the cutting
table. She went for them all. I knew she would. I’m surprised by
some of the fabrics, though. They’re not her usual colors or
patterns.
    “Trying something
new?”
    “Ry,” she says
jumping into my arms and kissing me again. “Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you.”
    “You’re very
welcome.”
    “To answer your
question, yes. I’ve been convinced that I’ll look good in those
colors and patterns.”
    “You’d look amazing
in a trash bag. Or nothing.”
    “You’re proving my
point from a few hours ago. Again.”
    I shrug. What can I
say? My wife makes me horny. I’m not going to apologize for that.
    After I’ve paid for
everything, we say goodbye to the designer. He’ll be flying out
with the dresses in a month. Our friend, Quinn, has said that he can
use her sewing studio for anything he needs. We put up the privacy
screen in the limo and I give Chloe her other gift.
    “Oh my God. How do we
keep doing this?”
    “We’re just totally
in sync with each other I guess.”
    The earrings I got her
are the same design as the pair of formal cufflinks she gave me,
along with the others. A diamond griffin with a sapphire butterfly on
its nose. She thanks me in a very satisfying way before we pull up to
our hotel.
    I groan out loud as I
see my little girl. Erin is almost two, but she takes after Chloe and
me, so she’s tall and looks like she’s five. Kevin has her
dressed completely in sequins and glitter. She looks fucking
adorable, but I think people on the other side of the city can
probably see her. The only thing she doesn’t have on are mouse
ears. He promised to let us get them for her. I’m afraid she’s
going to want those covered in sparkles, too. She’ll get whatever
she wants, of course. I’m pussy whipped and kiddie whipped. And proud of it.
    “Daddy, I need ears.”
    “I know, Eri. We’ll
get you some.”
    “Pretty ones?”
    “Only the prettiest
for my best girl.”
    She turns to Kevin.
“I’m the best girl and Mommy’s the best wife.”
    Out of the mouth of
babes. “Yes, you are.”
    We thank Kevin, who
winks at me because he knows what he’s done. After we drop off our
bags, we get her—and me—sparkly ears. I know people are looking
at me as we go on all the rides and take pictures with the
characters, but who cares. I’m man enough to wear some glitter and
sequins.
    Chloe’s not as okay
with it when some random chick tries to hit on me. While I have Erin
in my arms. I see her eyes flash, and pull her to us with my free
hand. I kiss the hell out of her, and the woman’s gone when we
break apart. I get a big smile from my wife, which means my work here
is done. I just kicked some Valentine’s Day ass.

Chapter 8

    “Daddy, we see Buzz
Lightyear tomorrow?”
    “Yes, Davey. Tomorrow
we’re going to see Buzz and all the other characters. But tonight
you need to stay with Grammy and Grandpa so I can give Mommy a
present.”
    “Did you make her
something? She loves the making presents the best. She says my
pictures make her happy.”
    “I kind of made her
something. I hope she likes it.”
    “She’ll like it.
She loves you. She told me.”
    God, I love my kid. “I
love her, too. And you too, buddy.”
    “I know.”
    “What are my two guys
talking about so seriously over here?”
    “Whether you’ll
like Daddy’s present. I told him you love him, so you’ll like
it.”
    “You’re right,”
Yas says, kissing him on the cheek.
    “I’m going to go
with Grammy and Grandpa now. I’ll see you tomorrow. Don’t forget
about Buzz.”
    “We won’t,” I
assure
