Hott and Handled (The Hott Brothers #3) - Leah Sharelle Page 0,73

forever, something I could hold onto, see in my mind’s eye. Farron, her body slick with sweat, that sexy pink blush blanketing her soft skin, moaning my name, telling me she loves me. Her body welcoming me inside with the trust I probably didn’t deserve, but by fuck I was taking it. Taking her.

“I want to marry your mum Dillion, so bad I can’t handle the thought of living without her. But I want your permission, truthfully I have already put the ring on her finger.” Hendrixx and Noxx burst out laughing, interrupting me, but I ignored them and stayed focused on Dillion.

“I will never hurt her, never make her feel less of a woman, I won’t ever put her down or go to bed angry with her. I promise to cherish her and keep her safe. Her happiness will always be my number one priority, and in saying that, it goes for you too.” Taking Dillion by the shoulders, I turned him, so he was looking directly at me, gripping him.

“All of what I just promised includes you mate, I won’t hurt you, make you feel like you don’t belong, that you aren’t part of the family because you are already as far as we are concerned. I’m not going to take the place of your dad because let’s face it, he isn’t much of one, but I will do my darndest to be a better dad than he was.”

“Where do you sit with grounding and withholding pocket money?” Dillion asked, his expression wary.

“If you fuck up bad enough then expect punishment, if you disappoint your mum, expect to get on your knees and beg for forgiveness.”

Dillion nodded once, then continued to impress me.

“Is it alright with you if I keep calling you Nixx, I mean I am glad you and Mum are together, I just don’t think I am ready to say that name again just yet.”

My heart cracked a little hearing the catch in his voice, the pain his father created, the doubt he planted in Dillion’s mind that he wasn’t good enough to be Alec’s son. Well fuck that!

“Dillion, if you want to call me Dad one day, I would be so honoured to answer to that. As far as I am concerned, you are already my kid. I will ask you if you would consider allowing me to adopt you and give you the Hott name one day. No pressure and no answer needed now, just want you to know that is where I am heading.” My throat choked up with tears, this was getting far too emotional, this day started out as a prelim to our hunting trip and suddenly I was crying like a girl in front of my brothers. Fuck they aren’t going to let me live this down.

Dillion dropped his head, his shuddering breath worrying me. Had I gone too far too quickly asking to adopt him? Hell, I was yet to run it by Farron, not that I was worried she would say no, but maybe she would be mad I mentioned it Dillion without her.

“Dill?”

“Will he let you, Nixx? Will he make it hard for you to do that?” As soon as he said the word ‘he’, I knew he was talking about Alec, scared that the piece of shit would fight me trying to adopt Dillion just because he could.

“If you want it to happen, then I will make it happen. Noxx is a big businessman with a legal team more than capable of getting it done, right Noxx?” I asked my brother, silently seeking out his approval of my plan, at the same time asking for him to reassure Dillion there was going to be no problem, legal wise.

“Absolutely, the dipshit won’t have a chance in hell once I get my team on it,” Noxx promised Dillion.

“Whatever I can do for my brother, I will do, no questions, no complaints,” he continued, “the same goes for our nephew.”

Hendrixx, not to be left out, had to add his two cents.

“I think it is safe to say we want you in our family, Dillion. Our mum already considers you her grandson. And to be honest, you aren’t going to get a better man to be your dad than that man standing in front of you. Your mum will always be the one that loves you the most, but Nixx will be your biggest champion. I am one lucky fucker having him and Noxx as my brothers. There just isn’t
