Stace…”
    And
suddenly he’s brutally gripping my hips again and pushing inside me, as hard
and as deep as he can, and I feel him spill his seed inside me.
    “Fuck me,”
he whispers and kisses my shoulder.
    “I just
did.”
    “Smart
ass.”

    “What’s
wrong?” Isaac cups my face in his hands with a frown and looks down at me as
our family walks ahead of us, not paying any attention to us.
    “Just a
small headache.” I smile reassuringly, take his hand in mine and kiss it, then
he tucks them both in his jacket pocket to keep them warm.
    We’re
walking around Woodland Park Zoo in the heart of Seattle enjoying the Christmas
light display they put on every year. It’s early evening and the air is crisp,
making our cheeks pink and noses cold. We’ve had a rare winter dry-spell the
last few days. Actually, since we returned from the cabin a few weeks ago the
weather has been surprisingly mild. Perfect Zoo Light weather.
    The zoo
strings hundreds of thousands of lights, all throughout the zoo, in shapes of
animals and flowers and landscape scenes. It’s really quite beautiful after
dark. They also bring in reindeer and a huge carousel for the kids.
    This is an
annual family outing for the Montgomerys. This year it’s just Isaac’s parents,
Isaac, Soph and I, Jules, and Nat and Luke. Brynna came along as well with her
two adorable five-year-old twin girls, Maddie and Josie.
    “You’ve
had a few headaches over the past couple weeks,” Isaac comments. He pat’s
Sophie’s back as she squirms in her sleep in the sling across his chest.
    “I’m okay.”
I smile at him again and then laugh as the girls squeal in delight when they
see a fairytale light display, hopping up and down, wanting to get a better
look. Brynna looks back at us, surveys the area quickly and turns back to the
girls.
    “God, I’m
gonna throw up.” Jules mutters. Luke and Nat are kissing. Again. I laugh
and rub Jules’ arm in comfort.
    “Aren’t
you used to them making out by now?”
    “Jesus, do
they have to do it all the damn time?”
    Luke
grins, kisses Nat one last time and wraps his arm around her. “Yes.”
    “Yuck.”
Jules sticks her tongue out and shudders and I can’t help but laugh.
    “Are you
nine?” Isaac asks.
    “Shut up,
Isaac,” Jules responds.
    Suddenly,
Isaac grips the lapels of my wool coat and gently pulls me up to his lips,
kissing me hard and deep. I hear Jules gag, and I giggle, wrap my arms around
his neck and give into his passionate embrace, mindful that Sophie is now
snuggled between us.
    “Good one,
Isaac,” Natalie remarks, impressed as we separate.
    “Why
should you guys get all the fun?” Isaac asks, still smiling down at me.
    Why
indeed?
    “There are
children here, you know,” Jules reminds us.
    “I want to
feed the reindeer,” Maddie jumps up and down and her sister joins her.
    “Okay,
reindeer it is,” Isaac says and motions for everyone to walk further down the
pathway. Brynna looks over her shoulder, toward the way we’ve just come and
frowns.
    “Brynna’s
been looking over her shoulder all evening,” I whisper at Isaac. He glances
over at her thoughtfully.
    “Hey,”
Isaac drapes an arm around her and gives her a squeeze, then pulls away.
“You’re safe here.”
    She offers
him a small smile. “I know. I just can’t help but stay alert.”
    I take her
hand in my free one as the three of us lag behind the rest. “Are you going to
tell me what happened?”
    Her face
drops and she stares down at the ground. She bites her bottom lip and turns her
dark brown eyes up to me and shakes her head, her dark curls bouncing around
her pretty face. “No.”
    “Why?” I
ask in frustration.
    “It’s just
better for you if you don’t know.”
    I look over
at Isaac. “Do you know?”
    He shakes
his head and scowls over at Brynna. “No. She’s a stubborn mule.”
    “Matt and
I have it under control,” she mutters.
    “Right, so
looking over your shoulder everywhere you
