Tell Me You Need Me
The last place West Haven wanted to go was home. He'd escaped the island of Lighthouse Landing, leaving any family he thought he had behind. When news of his brother's death reached him, he was indifferent; that is, until he was informed that he was now the guardian of twin teenagers he never knew existed.
He reluctantly agreed to return, but only to tie up loose ends. That had been the plan until the moment he saw Teddy and knew he had to have her.
It didn’t matter that she was dating his nephew. She wasn’t meant to be anyone but West's. Her smiles, laughter, and her bright light--he wanted them all for himself. The island had taken enough from him; he still had the scars to prove it…. Now it's his turn to take what's his.
Too bad he's more of a beast than a prince charming. Now he’s obsessing about all the ways to keep Teddy forever. Little does he know this beauty seeks out the darkest of places to shine her light.
Chapter 1
WEST
“Sir—” I can tell from the hitch in Jack’s voice that whatever he is about to tell me, I’m not going to want to hear. My head still throbs from last night. I can’t recall the last time I drank that much or why I was so bothered that I felt the need to do so.
“What is it?”
Jack steps farther into my office. As usual, he’s in his normal slacks with a buttoned-up shirt and a bowtie, which is always a different color. It's the most vibrant color my home has ever seen. If not for him, this place would be empty except for a desk and bed. The essentials are all I really need.
“Your brother.”
“Don’t!” I growl, standing from my chair. He is the last thing I want to speak about. In fact, I should never have to hear his name again. I am the only Haven now that he’s dead. I could finally wash my hands of my family and that past. I’d walked away from all of it when I went to college. Left that life behind. Believe me, I couldn’t get out of there quick enough.
“There is more that you don’t know.” Jack comes fully into my office.
The scar that cuts down the center of my brow, down through half of my cheek, starts to throb. It was a gift from my dearbrother. The golden child to my father. Karl Haven was set to take over my father’s empire. I didn’t give a shit; all I wanted was out. That pissed our father off more. My indifference to it all.
“I don’t care what happens to the estate. I don’t want it.” I want nothing but to be left alone. Right now, though, I wouldn't be too pissed if my parents were here so they could clean up Karl’s mess. They were good at it.
I walk over to my bar to pour another whiskey, not caring that it’s only early afternoon and I haven’t eaten today. Jack replaced the breakfast he had brought in with an untouched lunch.
“There are heirs to the estate.” The glass pauses at my lips.
“What?” I drop it back down onto the bar, making the liquid splash out.
“Heirs,” he repeats.
“As in children?”
“More or less.” Jack shrugs one shoulder.
"He had fucking kids?" Karl had kids? I run my hand down my face, trying to picture it. Honestly, I thought Karl would go down high out of his mind surrounded by strippers. He might have knocked one up?
"Two."
"Two!"
"Twins." There are not many things that surprise me in life, but I have to admit that this is definitely one of them.
I walk back over to my chair and drop down into it, not sure what to do with this information. “Has the funeral taken place yet?” I told Jack I wasn’t going.
