artwork back to him.
    “I did. I was one of their head shoe designers until last week.”
    “What happened last week?”
    “I resigned. I’m moving on to bigger things.”
    “What things?”
    “I’m opening my own design house.”
    “Here in the United States?”
    Tinjin shook his head. “No. In Paris.”
    “Is that where you live?” Natalie asked, her curiosity peaking.
    “Right now I live in London but I also have a flat in Paris and I’ll be moving back there next month.”
    “Interesting...” Natalie said, her voice fading ever so slightly.
    Tinjin smiled. “Give me a chance and you’ll soon discover that I’m a very interesting man,” he said, his tone slightly smug. “I’m also quite the gentleman. It’s my European aesthetic with my Southern upbringing. My granny raised me well. I love my granny!” he exclaimed, his smile widening.
    She leaned forward, her gaze narrowing slightly. “So does that mean you’re a little bit of a mama’s boy?” she asked. There was a hint of teasing in her tone.
    Tinjin laughed. “Yes, ma’am! And I’m proud of it. There’s no shame in my game!”
    For the first time, Natalie smiled back. She found him amusing. He was clearly confident and had just enough attitude without being arrogant. He was direct, but not pushy and definitely quite the charmer. She liked him and his devil-may-care attitude, and she found herself curious to know more about the man.

    Travis Stallion eased his body against his wife’s, snaking his arm around her waist as he pulled her to him. The two stood quietly together, staring down at their children as both slumbered peacefully. He pressed a kiss to the back of Tierra’s neck.
    “They’re growing too fast,” Tierra whispered. “Tianna’s lifting her head up by herself already.”
    “They are,” Travis whispered back. “You should have seen Lorenzo on the horses today. Once he warmed up to everyone, there was no stopping him.”
    “He’s got a little crush on Gabrielle. I saw how he was following her around.”
    Travis chuckled. “That’s my boy! I’m going to hate to have to tell him that she’s his family.”
    Tierra giggled as she grabbed her man’s hand and led him from the room. They closed the door and moved to their own bedroom. Inside, both slipped beneath the covers and cuddled close against each other.
    “I still haven’t been able to reach Tinjin,” Tierra commented. “That girl who works for him said he’s stuck at the airport in New York.”
    “Your brother might not make it. I was listening to the news and they said the weather has made a mess of things. Flights have been canceled up the entire east coast. They’re getting hit hard.”
    She blew a low sigh. “I hope he’s still able to meet us. I really wanted to see him. Since he moved abroad we barely spend any time together anymore. I love my brother and I want our kids to know him.”
    “You know you can always fly to London to see Tinjin, Tierra. I told you that. In fact, I think you should still go and take Mama Dee with you. You both deserve some time away. I can watch the kids or you can take them with you. You know I’d support whatever you wanted.”
    Tierra nodded. “Maybe after I’m not breast-feeding anymore. I think my grandmother would like to go visit Tinjin.”
    Travis eased a warm palm across her abdomen and up until his fingers lightly grazed the curve of her breast. He gently stroked the lush tissue, his heated touch teasing.
    Tierra laughed. “You’re trying to start something!”
    He nodded his head. “I am.”
    “You starting something is how we got Tianna. We were going to wait until Lorenzo was four before we had another baby, remember?”
    He nuzzled his face into her hair. “I can’t help it if you’re abundantly fertile.”
    She laughed again as he continued to stroke her gently, his hands gliding up and down her body. They lay together for only a brief moment, relaxing into the soft inhalations of each
