Tempted Trapped and Too Late to Run

Chapter 600

Dylan stayed quiet, listening as the two Mrs. Fergusons started daydreaming about what his and Tara's future kids might look like.

Tara glanced over and saw his dark mood. She nudged him with a smile. "You think I'm being too stubborn, don't you? But Dylan, you used to say you liked how I always had to come out on top, no matter what. Sure, you're a little different
