Fated to my Enemy by Diane Doherty

Chapter One Hundred Forty–Five

Luna Ryley

I tip–toed out of our room before the sun came up. I didn’t want to wake Blake after the night we had and the two weeks of him not sleeping at the hospital. I couldn’t sleep any longer and decided to make myself a tea. After turning on the kettle, I noticed the time. It was almost time for the boys to be up for school. I wasn’t sure if they were going today but I decided to prepare breakfast. Even if they weren’t going. I know the two of them would be hungry.

“You’re up early,” Channing yawned behind me as I was flipping pancakes.

“Even after all that late–night fun,” Aspen exclaimed and I mentally facepalmed. Even in the basement, the boys could still hear us.

“I’ll put noise–canceling headphones on the list, now pancakes,” I turned around and handed them both a plate stacked with food. I quickly turned back around and was thankful they didn’t say anything more. I was loud but I didn’t think I was that loud.

I was finishing up the pancakes when strong hands wrapped around my hips. Tingles spread throughout my body as Blake’s hands settled on my lower belly under my shirt.

“Good morning, Beautiful,” he purred against my ear causing me to shiver.

“Dad, stop, it’s bad enough we had to hear you going at it, but we don’t want to see it,” Aspen cringed. I turned in Blake’s arms.
