Ready to start their lives together, Randi and Brionna know things won’t be smooth sailing, but Milina has one more trick up her sleeve which brings Randi’s past choices rushing back to put even more strain on her relationship with her girls.
Despite that, Randi is both torn and stricken when Milina is arrested and linked to a killer. Knowing she can’t get Milina out of trouble, Randi throws herself into minimizing the damage only to find trouble building as another murder occurs.
Even as tensions mount, Randi and Brionna’s relationship grow stronger and they are confronted with a chance to start their family a year early, but the joy is bittersweet as Milina is faced with only one way out of the mess she caused.
And Randi urges her to take it.
Be Warned: f/f sex
Brionna stepped into the house carrying several bags and strode to the living room where Randi had set the Christmas tree up last night. They still had to decorate it, and Brionna had picked up several items she wanted to add.
However, her mother had counseled her not to make the tree her own this year, just to add a few things to commemorate their first Christmas together. Having taken her mother’s advice, Brionna had far fewer bags than she’d have next year.
She pulled up short, finding Milina lounging on the couch. The other girl glared at her and Brionna put her bags down.
“I guess you can’t wait to turn our tree into your tree,” she muttered.
Brionna faced her and drew in a breath and slowly let it out. The boxes of ornaments and things were just waiting to be added to the tree, but Randi had put the lights on already, it appeared.
She turned to face Milina and walked over to the couch where the girl glared at her.
“I don’t want your next few months here to be the most tense you’ve ever had in your life or that I’ve had in mine.”
“So, you’re leaving and letting me spend time with my mother?” she demanded coldly.
“No, but before you leap up and run out of here pissed off, hear me out.”
Milina looked at her. “What?”
“Okay, my mother and I were talking—wait.” She held up a hand when Milina started to speak. “She feels your pain, and if Randi agrees with this, she has a solution that you might like, but there will have to be ground rules.”
“What is the solution? You and my mother move out?”
“Can you stop trying to spew hate at me for one minute?” she asked quietly. “I always liked you and Maia, and I’ve thought your mother was a sexy and attractive woman for years, but it’s only been in recent years—the last two or three that I’ve thought of approaching her.”
“I—”
“I had no idea my interest would make you feel threatened or misplaced,” Brionna broke in. “If I had known, I never would have gone after Randi so hard. I would have dragged things out, but, Milina, I don’t want to take your time with your mother from you.”
Milina just stared at her, confusion on her pretty face.
“I know how important you and Maia are to her. When we first started dating, Randi told me her weekends were for you guys, and I respected that,” Brionna told her. “I know how great it is to have time with your mother. I love being with mine.”
“So?”
