With only 4 days left until I leave, I have to divvy up my time carefully. The brothers have taken over for most of my nanny time, dividing Mia’s schedule among three of them. Neil, unfortunately cannot help, as, even with the treatment to his silver poison, it’s still dangerous for him and Mia to b
But, an examination is an examination, and it’s not like I hate the thought of a good-looking guy like Steven looking at my body one way or another. So I lift my top over my head and set it beside me on the table. Steven doesn’t look at me right away. His gaze is on the ceiling. I check on Mia q
