  Chapter 1

  “You promised!” McKenna Mallory hurled her venom across the dining room table.

  “I said I would take you to New York once you finished school. The last time I checked, there was still three months left until graduation,” Hannah Mallory, her mother, replied evenly.

  “You’re a liar,” McKenna screeched as she shoved away from the table. Spinning around on her heels at the door, she screamed, “You just don’t want me to go because I’m prettier than you now and everyone will know you are nothing but yesterday’s cover girl.”

  Hannah remained still until McKenna stormed up to her bedroom and slammed the door with such a force it echoed down below. A slight frown pierced her lips as she rubbed against the strain in her temples, thinking to herself how nice it would be to have one family dinner where someone didn’t leave in a sulk.

  “She’s right, you know,” Willow said quietly. “Ever since she was a baby, she wanted nothing more than to be like you, and you did promise to take her as soon as she turned eighteen.”

  Hannah’s eyes narrowed to slits before she hissed, “If you had any idea what they are going to do her, you wouldn’t be on her side.”

  “I have worked in the industry for twenty years so I think I have some comprehension of what it entails,” Willow shot back.

  “As a designer—not a face,” Hannah hissed as she stood and began to clear the dishes. Taking a deep breath, she asked, “I made some key lime pie for desert. Would any of you care for a slice?”

  Kenyon, McKenna’s twin, stretched and walked over to Hannah. He stood just a few inches taller than Hannah did. Both of the twins had inherited their height from their biological father. Placing his hands on her shoulders, he leaned down and kissed her cheek. “I might have a piece later. Dinner was good, Mom.”

  Willow left to check on McKenna, leaving Hannah with her eldest son, Sam, his wife, Kate, and their fourteen-year-old daughter, Abigail. “Let me help,” Kate offered as she began gathering the plates and utensils and followed Hannah into the kitchen.

  “It’s just her age and all those hormones racing through her veins,” Kate offered once they were alone.

  “And I know nothing about female hormones,” Hannah declared dramatically.

  “That’s not what I meant.”

  “I know,” Hannah sighed. “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have said that but teenagers drive me insane.” Shaking her head with disgust as she thought about her wife, she continued, “Willow always takes her side and, somehow, I end up being the bad guy. McKenna hates me.”

  “No, she doesn’t.”

  “Willow hates me.”

  “That’s not true either.”

  “My only child that is remotely normal is Kenyon, and if he didn’t look so much like Willow, I swear I would think he was switched at birth. I’ve made an entire career writing family how-to books, and we can’t have a single dinner without someone storming off mad. It’s ridiculous,” Hannah groaned.

  “Sam loves you,” Kate stated softly. “And Abigail, Kenyon, McKenna, and Willow too. In a few years, McKenna will settle down, everything will return to normal, and you can write your next best-selling novel about navigating the precarious path of teenagers.”

  Later that evening, Hannah was lying in bed reading a book on her tablet and wondering what was taking Willow so long in the bathroom. She was still miffed at her from earlier in the evening but wished she would hurry up so they could go to sleep. Just as she was about to call out, Willow opened the door and turned down the lights.

  “I need the lights on to read,” Hannah said irritated, without looking up.

  “No, you don’t,” Willow purred seductively.

  “Yes, I…” Hannah started to say but stopped when she looked up and spotted her wearing nothing but a sheer, black veil. A wide smile broke out across her face. “Where did…?”

  Willow placed her finger on Hannah’s lips to silence her. “You can look but you can’t touch—house rules,” she whispered as she straddled her lap.

  “Is that so?”

  “Hmm,” Willow murmured coyly as she rubbed herself against Hannah’s waist. She gently pushed her back against the pillows and then used her veil to tie her wrists together above her head. Leaning down, her tight nipples rested against Hannah’s cheek.

  Hannah turned her face and started to open her mouth, but Willow pulled up out of reach. “No touching,” she chided as she rocked her hips in the most delicious rhythm against her.

  Willow’s fingertips slipped underneath her shirt and danced against her tight stomach. Growing feverish, Hannah started to push her hips up to meet Willow’s, but she reached down and pinched her inner thigh. “You really are a terrible cheat. If you don’t stop, I will have to call in security.”

  “What is security?” Hannah giggled breathlessly.

  “You really don’t want them to get involved. They would love to make a gorgeous woman like you their bitch. Maybe I should sample the goods myself and let them know what they are missing.”

  Willow unbuttoned Hannah’s pajama top and spread it wide. She played with her creamy, smooth breasts for a moment before leaning down to lick her nipple with her wet tongue. Panting and quivering with lust, Hannah groaned, “Fuck me.”

  “You would like that, wouldn’t you—my fingers inside you while I licked your pussy?”

  Reaching between her legs, she cupped Hannah’s sex. She felt warm and wet. Scooting down, Willow pulled off her pants and panties.

  Eagerly, Hannah spread her toned legs, but Willow started by kissing her way up her inner thigh. “You’re such a fucking tease,” Hannah moaned.

  “The only time you ever say that word anymore is when you are actually doing it,” Willow pondered aloud as she shifted her attention to her other leg.

  “Fuck me,” Hannah demanded more urgently.

  “Like this?” Willow asked as she slipped first one and then two fingers inside Hannah’s tight pussy. “Or this?” she questioned as she took her hard, throbbing cock into her mouth.

  “No,” Hannah whimpered helplessly against the rising tide of sensation.

  “Tonight, you will just have to be a
little more inventive,” Willow whispered.

  As Willow once said several years ago, Hannah was unique—so unique that she could climax as either a woman or a man. Either way felt fabulous but distinct from the other. When combined together, it felt as close to heaven as possible on this earth, but she preferred to keep them separate for Willow’s benefit. The feelings created were so overwhelming that she was over-sensitized and useless for several hours afterwards.

  Unable to hold back the impeding explosion, her toes curled tight as she pounded her feet against the mattress. For several long, shattering moments, she sailed through the starry skies before crashing back to earth, limp and exhausted.

  Willow snuggled in her arms. “You will have to give me a few minutes. I don’t think I can move,” Hannah moaned.

  “I know,” Willow chuckled softly. “I don’t mind. I love it when you fuck me as a woman.”

  “You like it more when I fuck you as a man,” Hannah countered.

  “Not always,” Willow murmured as her hand slipped between her legs.

  Leaning up, Hannah smiled softly, “What are you doing?”

  “I’m starting for you.” Willow reached for her hand and placed it on her pussy.

  Hannah pushed her fingers inside and was delighted to discover she was hot and soaked. Willow moaned softly and started to grind her hips in beat to her naughty finger dance. As the fire spread to her belly, her hand grew limp. “No, don’t stop. I like watching you. It excites me,” Hannah purred.

  Hannah scooted down to get a closer look. She bit her lip in anticipation of Willow’s climax. She was so turned on she felt herself getting wet again just watching her play with herself. And to think, she had assumed she had grown out of her voyeurism fetish years ago, but this was different. She wasn’t just watching—she was very much actively participating. Her tongue snaked out and sashayed between Willow’s fingers.

  Willow grew frantic and wild. “Harder,” she demanded breathlessly.

  Hannah complied, giving her exactly what she needed until Willow shattered, clenching her fingers tight.

  Chapter 2

  Hannah flipped on the switch and called out, “Good morning, sleepyhead.”

  Half-blinded by the sudden light, McKenna rolled over and reached for her phone to check the time. “Mommy, it is only four o’clock in the morning,” she groaned and pulled the blankets over her head.

  “We have to be at the airport in an hour to catch our flight,” Hannah explained as she pulled back the covers.

  “What plane? Where are we going?”

  “We are going to New York.”

  “What?” McKenna exclaimed, suddenly coming very alert. “Are you serious?”

  “The only reason I would wake up at this god-awful hour of the morning is to travel,” Hannah answered earnestly.

  “Oh Mommy,” McKenna cried out with joy as she wrapped her arms around Hannah. “I love you… I love you… thank you so much!”

  Hannah chuckled softly. “It’s your mom you should be thanking. Let’s just say she persuaded me to change my mind last night. And…” Hannah cautioned firmly, “…you must understand that we are only going there to meet with Pierre. He is going to take a few shots to start your portfolio and then we are coming home. You will finish school first.”

  “But if I get an agent…” McKenna started to say worriedly.

  “When you get an agent,” Hannah corrected, “I will deal with them.”

  “Mommy, I love you so much! You’re the best mommy in the whole world!” McKenna shouted wildly as she literally jumped up and down with joy.

  “I know,” Hannah agreed. “Now go get a shower while I get you packed.”

  During the flight, McKenna wondered what Willow had said to make Hannah change her mind because once it was set, there was usually no convincing her otherwise. Hannah wouldn’t tell her, only saying that they had a private discussion. Her parents were just like that sometimes.

  Mostly, they were like all her friend’s parents, with the exceptions being that they were both female and still happily together. Both women had highly successful careers. Hannah was a parenting guru. Willow was, as one magazine labeled her, the Queen of Naughty Underwear. They did all the same things normal families did, such as celebrate the same holidays. Hannah always went a bit overboard on birthdays, but other than that, they were just a typical family—most of the time.

  McKenna learned long ago that her parents had that telepathic-communication thing down to a fine art. Entire conversations could be spoken in just a single glance. As she grew older, McKenna began to realize that the silent discussions often involved secrets just the two of them shared. Although generally very open and honest, there were certain taboo subjects that both women refused to discuss.

  Hannah never talked about her adopted parents. She would only say that they were both dead. A few years ago, McKenna found an old article on the internet and discovered that they had been brutally murdered. When she told Willow about what she had read, her mom told her not to bring it up because it was a very painful time in Hannah’s life.

  Hannah also didn’t like to talk about her career as a model. She liked to pretend that decade of her life never happened. McKenna might never have known about it, but she found an old magazine with a picture of Hannah on the cover at Sam’s house when she was a little girl. She had been obsessed ever since. Hannah wasn’t very happy when she discovered the scrapbooks McKenna had made of all her old magazine photos. McKenna didn’t understand why. Hannah had been so divine, so beautiful, that she almost didn’t look real. Of course, she was still beautiful, both of her parents were. If you didn’t know, no one could possibly guess that Hannah was forty-seven and Willow was forty-two. They both looked decades younger.

  The number-one subject they refused to discuss was the donor. McKenna didn’t know if her biological father was just a random sample from the sperm bank or if he was someone her parents knew. Hannah was always so meticulous about everything else that she couldn’t imagine she would have left the fate of her children to chance so McKenna highly suspected the latter of the two options to be true.

  But who could it be? McKenna had a few suspects in mind. Finn Sullivan, for one, Hannah’s best gay friend. He was a highly successful and talented event planner in Austin. He also did their birthday every year. Neither she nor Kenyon remotely resembled him, but he did give both twins Christmas presents every year, which made her wonder if he wasn’t trying to somehow acknowledge their connection.

  When they were young, Kenyon used to be just as curious as she was, but now he said it didn’t make a difference. Sometimes it was impossible to believe they shared the same womb. People always said that twins were supposed to share a special connection. Well—the only connection they shared was the mutual need to knock the other one over the head. The moments that they were peaceful and in accord were few and far between. When their parents weren’t there to run interference between the warring twins, Sam often had to step in and take over the job.

  And that was another thing that always bothered McKenna. Why had Mommy adopted him and when? Sam had two parents, both of whom had passed away, that he still loved dearly. Sam was an adult when his billionaire dad had died and left him a very sizable fortune and a seat on the board of directors at MMI—the software company where his wife, Kate, was currently employed as senior vice-president. It wasn’t as if he was still a child and needed someone to take care of him.

  All right, so maybe her family wasn’t so normal after all. But they were hers and she loved them all dearly. Maybe she didn’t love Kenyon quite so much, but he was her brother and that had to count for something.

  Hannah interrupted her thoughts. “Put this over your eyes.”

  “What is it?”

  “It is a cold cucumber compress. It will help reduce the puffiness under your eyes,” she explained.

  “If you would have told me last night we had to get up at four o’clock in the morning, I would hav
e gone to bed before midnight.”

  “If you would have gone to sleep at your bedtime, you wouldn’t have had to worry about it.”

  “Mommy,” McKenna groaned. “I’m too old to have a bedtime.”

  “Don’t be ridiculous,” Hannah dismissed. “You’re never too old for a bedtime. I even give your mom a bedtime.”

  McKenna pulled back the compress to peek at her. “Does she actually listen to you?”

  “Of course,” Hannah dismissed with a nonchalant wave of her hand and then pointed towards the mask.

  “Why do you get to set the bedtimes for everyone in the house?”

  “Because I’m the one that makes the schedule. If you would like to try your hand at organizing everyone’s class load, work hours, and extracurricular activities, then you could set the bedtimes.”

  “No, thank you,” McKenna grumbled and then took a deep breath. Speaking softly, she questioned, “Were you this nervous the first time you went to New York?”

  Hannah stopped to think before she answered. Obviously, they were going there under entirely different circumstances. McKenna had come from a happy and stable home. Hannah was just sixteen the first time she stepped foot in the city, but she had just escaped the House of Hell and her evil demon overlords. So, no, she wasn’t the slightest bit nervous. Perhaps overwhelming thrilled and relieved might better describe her emotions that day. But she didn’t want her only daughter to get the wrong impression about the career path she was so determined to forge. In so many ways, she had traded one prison for another. She would never have escaped if not for Willow. If not for her, Hannah very much doubted she would even be alive today.

  “No,” she finally answered. “But if I had known what I know now, I wouldn’t have been nervous. I would have been terrified.”

  Chapter 3

  “And that is proper way to suck the juice out of a watermelon,” Sam whispered naughtily.

  Abby cleared her throat loudly to let her parents know she was in room. Both of them turned in unison, looking very surprised to see her standing there.
