Cadence POV
It had been a couple days since I had been back in New Orleans. I loved being in Atlanta but there was no place like home.
The girls were in the kitchen studying and Evan was at his office. Emily’s grandmother in Texas was sick so she had taken a flight out yesterday. I had decided to do some cleaning so I had my music on listening to Pebble’s, Mercedes Boy. I was shaking my ass feeling good.
Evidently I didn’t hear the doorbell ringing. I was singing and dancing until I turned around and saw Jacob staring, smiling and clapping at me. I was wearing some booty shorts and a tank since I was at home.
I felt naked in front of him. His eyes roamed my body with an animalistic snarl. My nipples harden just at the thought.
"Cadence back away NOW!" My mind screamed out, "DANGER! DANGER!!"
I took three steps back and looked at the papers in his hand. Don’t look at him directly! Get angry and make him leave.
"How did you get in?" I said a little irrated.
"Your sister. Your boyfriend wanted me to drop off some specs for some houses. Evan said you all were moving and he wanted you to view a few I thought you might be interested in."
"My fiancé you mean. You need to come back when he’s here. You can’t be here," I said with a shaky voice.
He looked at me from head to toe. I could see that same desire in his eyes before I called it off but he couldn’t have me. The thought of Garrett’s threat had me looking from the door to him.
He was wearing a navy blue suit with a navy and silver tie. His hair was freshly cut and his eyes sent heat across my skin. His cologne mixed with his own scent had my mind reeling with memories.
"You look good Cadence. I’ve missed you. Pregnancy totally agrees with you," he said walking closer towards me. I took one last step until I hit the bookshelf.
I could hear the sincerity in his voice. Why did he make me crazy? Deep down, I had these unclaimed feelings for him, but they would have to stay hidden. He needed to go and if I had to be mean so be it.
"I don’t miss you Jacob," I whispered trying not to stare in his eyes. The closer he got, the more I felt my body heating up. He stood so close I could feel the heat from his own skin. He looked down into my eyes and I swallowed hard. His hands grabbed each side of the bookcase.
"Are you sure about that? I smell your arousal from here," he said inches from my lips.
Shit! He was good. It didn’t matter, I was always horny. As soon as Evan came home he would take care of my needs.
"Just leave Jacob," I said pushing him off me.
"Okay." He said throwing his hands up. "Just remember I still love you. When you are finished with this charade I will be waiting." He put the folders on the table and walked out the door.
I ran over to make sure the door was locked. I looked out the window and saw him get in his car. He looked back out the window and we stared at each other. If I didn’t love Evan I probably would fall into his arms but he was now and completely off limits. I closed the curtain and leaned against the door as I tried to forget the memories of Jacob taking control of my body.

The movers had just moved in all the furniture to Evan’s and I house in White Oak earlier in the day. Just about everything was in place as Nicole Anderson came in and did her thing. Since Lilly owned everything in the house in Riverside, Evan and I went out furniture shopping a few weeks ago and ran into Nicole. She was a joy to work with and highly respected in New Orleans.
It had been a few weeks since Evan proposed and I accepted. With so many things happening it had been a crazy transition. The girls were excited about the move and I was excited because I found out I could graduate early.
"Dean Cox told me that they miscalculated my hours from Baylor and that I could graduate at the end of this semester," I said excitedly on the phone.
"That’s good baby. Have the movers moved everything in?"
"Yeah they just finished the last of the big furniture. I can’t wait for you to come home and we can christen the new bed. You have no idea how much I’ve missed you. It’s been three weeks and the babies and I miss you."
"I miss you too. With four tours going on at the same time, bills have to be paid and weekly meetings have to take place. I’m sorry I will try to make it there before the end of the week or next," Evan said blowing out a breath.
"You said you would be here weekly but you haven’t," I started to cry.
"Cad, baby I’m sorry I can’t right now," I could hear the misery in his voice.
I couldn’t stop crying. "I better go. I have homework to do."
"Cad, You sound upset and I don’t like it."
"You said you would work here. I can’t button my jeans, my feet have gone up a size, hell I’m starting not to be able to see my feet and my boobs are growing and sensitive to the touch. I look like the Pillsbury’s Doughboy as he begins to rise in the oven," I said crying harder. "These babies have me eating weird ass foods I’ve never eaten before. Who the hell eats bread pudding with carmel, strawberry and chocolate icecream?"
I could hear him snickering in the background. "Evan are you laughing at me?" I was sounding angrier.
There was a pause. "Of course not. I love you and those babies growing inside of you. I only trust you to take care of them so I know they will be fine."
"Shut up Evan! Bring your ass home ASAP. If you don’t want to be with your horny, pregnant fiancé, I will take the issue up myself."
"Wait, what are you going to do?"
"Evan don’t worry about it. I will take care of my loneliness and hornyness. Good bye!"
"Cadence Joy Montgomery, what do you mean you will take care of it? I am the only man that can give you what you need." I could hear a bit of panic in his voice.
"Ah! you have twelve hours and if you are not here, well let’s just say you will miss out. Goodbye Evan," I said in my most seductive voice. I hung up and threw the phone on the bed.
If my plan worked he would be here in eight to put me out my misery.
I had finished my homework and called Evie to see if she could do something with the mess on my head. The prenatal vitamins were making my hair thicker, longer and uncontrollable, hell it was worst then before. After telling me to come on, I quickly dressed and headed to Evie’s.
