MY GREATEST FEAR was that Zach would continue to be so wonderful and the kids would fall hard for him, which I knew was so easy to do.

One day, someone would come along, and he will marry them and have his own children. That would break Sophia and Samuel’s hearts and that was my greatest fear. I needed to have a serious talk with Zach once we had settled in and work through it together. I needed to protect them at all cost.

My life was going to be hell living and working alongside a man who I was falling for very quickly. I knew I couldn’t pursue Zach, but I also knew I would never be able to stop my heart from wanting to. Life was cruel in so many ways. Finally, a man had come into my life that made me feel things I have never known. Yet, I couldn’t do anything about it. I would have to endure looking into those mesmerizing eyes every day. I was not sure I could do it, but I needed to for the kids’ sake. This was the best home and job we would ever have and they deserved to be happy for once, even if it was at my expense. That’s what parents do. They put their children first, every single time.

Samuel and Sophia started jumping up and down at the window, signaling that the guys had arrived in the truck. If I wasn’t feeling my stomach doing somersaults before, it sure as hell was flip flopping now. My nerves were at an all-time high. I wanted to make the right impression on Zach’s family. I could only imagine what they were thinking of me at the moment. I looked at Zach, who was still standing next to me in the kitchen.

He leaned down and, with his hand on my shoulder, whispered in my ear, “I know you are nervous, but there is no need to be. You are a special woman and they will love you. Relax, I will be here to keep you safe.”

The hairs on my neck were standing up with Zach so close to me. I could feel his breath on my body and had never been so aroused in my life. This man had me tangled in his web and I had a feeling there was no way out.

“Just breathe, Em it will be fine. I am right here and won’t leave you or the kids alone.” I hadn’t realized I was holding my breath. Zach thought it was because of my nerves, but I knew it was because of him. As I breathed in slowly, Zach stepped back and smiled at me. For some reason, a calm feeling came over me. He placed his hand in the small of my back and led me to the door to meet his brothers.

I was aware of the kids and their excitement but I was trying to concentrate on my breathing and getting my brain calm so I didn’t make an idiot of myself.
