  She must see the doubt in my eyes because she wraps her arms around me, her fingers gently running through my hair. “I love you so much Zeke. You’ve given me so much to be thankful for this year.” She leans up and kisses right under my ear, “You deserve it, Babe, I promise you.”

  I take a deep breath and close my eyes, letting her words and her love fill me. I nod as I push two fingers into her wet pussy. She moans and arches her back.

  My voice is hoarse, “I love you, little fairy. I will never be able to properly tell you how much. How much being with you means to me and how it fills me with joy.” I nip at her nipple and she squeals. I grin against her skin, “We both have a lot to be thankful for this year.”

  She hooks her leg over my hip and pulls. I know what my girl wants and I’m never going to turn her down. I roll my body on top of hers and pull my fingers out of her warmth to replace them with my hard cock. She gasps and her eyes widen. Fuck, that fills me with pride. I set a slow, measured pace. We don’t have anywhere to be for a while, and I want to take my time making love to Olivia.

  Her hands cup my face and pull me down to her. She kisses me so sweetly that it makes my heart ache. When I can’t take it anymore, my need spurring me on, I speed up and start thrusting harder into Olivia. She groans and moans my name. I smirk down at her and feel her warm channel clench my cock. I groan and bury my face in her neck, licking and kissing the slender column.

  Her voice is a whine, “Please, Zeke.”

  I rasp against her skin, “What do you need, little fairy?”

  “Fuck me,” she moans. “Please, Zeke, harder.”

  I slam into her faster and harder for a few strokes and watch the pleasure wash over Olivia’s beautiful face. Then, without warning, I roll us both so she’s on top; my cock never slipping out of her as I do. She rocks her hips back and forth, pressing against my chest for leverage.

  Olivia bites her lip and the mischievous sparkle in her eye almost does me in right then and there. I grit my teeth as she starts to ride my cock. I reach up and cup her tits in my hands, pinching her nipples between my fingers. Her moan is long and low and I feel my orgasm barreling down on me as my gaze flits between her face, tits and where my cock is disappearing into her pussy as she moves up and down.

  She groans, “Fuck, Zeke. So close.”

  I let go of her tits and one hand grips her hip, slamming her down onto my cock. The other moves so that my thumb can play with her clit as she rides me. I piston my hips up into her so that I can fuck her harder.

  I pinch her clit and Olivia throws her head back as I feel her cunt spasming around me. Watching her face contort in pleasure as she screams out my name pushes me right over the edge with her. I grip her hip harder, knowing that I might leave bruises behind. I hold her in place as I shoot ropes of cum deep inside her.

  Liv grins down at me, her eyes are sparkling; it takes my breath away. The feeling of contentment and peace that settles over me is fucking priceless. I pull her down to me and kiss her sweetly; I pour all my love for her into it.

  I murmur against her lips, “I love you so much, Livy.”

  She settles down against my chest and kisses right where my heart is. It’s still hammering inside my chest as we bathe in the afterglow. I can feel her smile against my skin, “I love you, Zeke.”

  I run my hands up and down her back. I take a deep breath and inhale her scent, honey and cinnamon. Fuck, she smells so good. I run my fingertips along her spine, and she shivers on top of me. I grin and kiss the top of her head.

  I clear my throat, “Move in with me, little fairy. Come home, permanently.”

  Her head shoots up so fast I’m worried she hurt herself for a moment. Her eyes are wide, but I can see the hope underneath the surprise.

  I kiss her forehead, “I’m serious, Olivia. You and I both know this is your home. You belong here, with me.”

  A slow grin spreads across her face and she starts nodding, “Okay, Babe.”

  Relief overtakes me. I hug her to me and let it sink in that she said yes. I thought for a moment that it would take more convincing, but I’m so fucking glad it didn’t.

  She giggles and I give her a little squeeze, “What’s so funny, Livy?”

  She peeks up at me and grins, “I just got the notice from my apartment building that I have until the 5th of next month to let them know if I’m renewing my lease and that rent would be going up with the renewal.” She kisses my chest, “You have impeccable timing.”

  I stiffen slightly, “Were you planning on renewing it or talking to me about it?”

  A look of guilt crosses her face and my heart sinks for a moment. She sighs, “I was going to talk to you about it before renewing it, but I wasn’t sure how to bring it up and I didn’t want to rush this between us. I had planned to renew it at first, even filled out the paperwork, but then I couldn’t bring myself to drop it in the office.” She looks at me and the depth of her blue green eyes suck me in and buoys my heart again. “It just didn’t feel right.”

  I chuckle, “It’s okay, little fairy, I get it. I didn’t want to rush you either, but I’ve wanted you here permanently since the night I made you mine.”

  She runs her fingers through my beard, and I have to fight the urge to purr under her attention. I run my fingers through her hair and sink into knowledge that she’ll be in our home permanently. Soon, very soon. It feels fucking fantastic.

  Olivia grins at me, “Come on, we need to get this day going.” She glances at the clock, “Beckett should only have a few more hours in the shop and then it’ll be time to grub.” She squeals slightly, “With rock stars!”

  I run my hands down her body and grab her ass possessively, “Just remember that you’re mine, little fairy.”

  She giggles and it’s one of the best sounds I’ve ever heard. Right along with her moaning and screaming my name. “Like you’d ever let me forget. I swear, you and Beckett have become total cavemen.”

  I shrug my shoulders, “When you have something worth protecting, you do it with everything in you.”

  A bright smile lights up her face and she stretches her neck and kisses me softly. She murmurs against my lips, “I guess it’s a good thing I find it sexy as hell.”

  I groan and knead the globes of her ass. She giggles and wiggles out of my hold, making me groan again. She hops off the bed and makes her way toward the bathroom, “I’m going to take a shower.”

  I grin at her and stand up quickly, stalking behind her. She squeals slightly and picks up her pace; I wrap my arms around her and swing her into my arms just as she gets to the bathroom door. I kiss her neck and bite softly.

  I growl, “I’ll have to make sure you get extra clean, then.”

  She shakes her head, “I have a feeling you’re more interested in getting me dirty.”

  I chuckle and nip at her earlobe, “You’re not wrong.” I breathe against her neck, “I love you, Olivia. I can’t wait to get you moved in.”

  She smiles softly at me and cups my face in her hands before bringing my lips to hers and kissing me sweetly. We share kisses and caresses as we wash each other in the shower. My hard cock keeps trying to talk me into taking Olivia hard against the shower, but I resist. My heart just wants to enjoy this sweet time with her; my dick will have plenty of time to enjoy her heat later.

  CHAPTER 15

  ZEKE

  We walk into Amelia and Beckett’s house after a very thorough and sweet shower; we took time to look at our schedules to figure out when we can start bringing over Olivia’s things too. We’re loaded down with our dessert offerings from the bakery near the shop.

  As I pass through the dining room, I notice that they’ve added a large folding table and chairs to the end of their large river table to make sure there’s space for everyone to sit at one table. The tablecloth looks like wood grain; Amelia’s touch no doubt. There’s a woven cornucopia in the middle overflowing with fake gourdes, fruit, fall leaves and vines. When I look closer, I not
ice that there’s pre-rolled joints sticking out amongst the fake bounty. I chuckle; it is so something Amelia would do. I snap a quick picture so I can post it later. It’s the perfect centerpiece for our family’s Thanksgiving feast.

  We make our way into the kitchen and Walsh looks up from the kitchen island where he’s stirring something in a crock pot. There’s so much excitement on his face, but it falls instantly when he sees who it is.

  I scoff, “Jesus, man, nice to see you too.” Olivia giggles next to me and I smirk at her as I find a place for the pies and cookies.

  Walsh grins, “Sorry. Happy Thanksgiving! I’m just amped to meet Cole and the guys.”

  Olivia shakes her head. “Really? I had no idea; you’ve only been talking about it since the moment Banks set it up.”

  Amelia grins at us and comes around the island to give Olivia a hug, she looks down at Liv’s shirt that says ‘here for the turkey, not the colonization’ and laughs. She points at her shirt, “I’m going to get some of those for the shop next year.”

  Olivia chuckles while Amelia turns to me and wraps me up in a hug. I don’t know why it feels so good when Amelia hugs me, but completely different from when Olivia does it. There’s no desire when Amelia and I touch, but it’s comforting as hell. Maybe it’s because she’s going to be a mom, but I think it’s probably more than that. It’s just her.

  Amelia quirks her eyebrow at me and then looks between Olivia and me. She taps her chin, studying us. “There’s something different today, like you two are even lighter than you have been lately.”

  Olivia’s eyes widen and I chuckle, “Liv agreed to move in with me, to move home.”

  Amelia squeals and wraps Olivia up in another hug, this one tighter. Amelia looks at me and I can see tears in her eyes; the pregnancy hormones have made her very emotional. She whispers, “I’m so happy for you two.” She releases Olivia and smiles, “Just let us know when to help and we’ll be there.”

  Walsh points at Amelia, “You won’t be helping, Sweetcheeks.”

  Amelia rolls her eyes, “I’m pregnant, not an invalid.”

  Walsh scoffs, “If you think Banks is going to let you lift anything more than like five pounds, you are clearly delusional.”

  “Tis the caveman way.” Amelia winks at Olivia, “You know all about that, don’t you, Liv?” Olivia blushes and Amelia just laughs in response and squeezes Liv’s hand. “This is going to be so great; we’ll be so close for girl’s night.” Amelia sighs, “Well, without the wine. At least for me.” She waves her hand dismissively, “That’s okay because I have quite a few things I want to make for the nursery and who better to help me than an artist.”

  Olivia smiles, “Can’t wait. Have you been diving deep on Pinterest?”

  Amelia nods, “Of course! We won’t find out what the gender is until after the new year, unfortunately, but I’m thinking about a woodland nature theme regardless.”

  Oliva’s eyes sparkle, “That’ll be so cute!”

  I instantly picture painting a few woodland animals in black and white for the nursery as my baby shower gift. I’m thinking a fox, an owl, and a moose. I’ll have to sneak down to the spare room and see how big of a space I can work with and talk to Beckett about putting off Amelia on buying any art.

  Olivia narrows her eyes at me and grins like she can read my mind. She turns to Amelia, “Just make sure you don’t get a lot of art for the walls.” Amelia furrows her brow and Liv explains, “You’re surrounded by artists, don’t take the opportunity to gift our art away.”

  Amelia’s smile is dazzling, “Wouldn’t dream of it. I know Beckett is planning to paint one of the walls with a mural, but he’s keeping it very hush hush.” She rolls her eyes and Walsh laughs.

  Walsh teases her, “You love it.”

  Amelia huffs, “I’m not really a big fan of surprises actually.”

  Olivia leans toward her, “Neither am I, but you know you’ll love this one.” Amelia shrugs, but there’s a sweet smile on her face.

  There’s a knock on the door right before Troy opens it and saunters in, Dex right on his heels. Troy booms, “Happy Thanksgiving, family!”

  Dex shakes his head and makes his way over to us, stopping to give Olivia and Amelia a kiss on their cheeks. Dex has seemed kind of off for a few months now and I don’t think he’s opened up to anyone about it yet. It’s subtle, but I can see it in his eyes. I don’t think that I’m the right person to try and get him to share considering how long I kept my past to myself.

  Troy gives Walsh a playful shove and quips, “I take it the special guests haven’t arrived yet.”

  Walsh flips Troy the bird and shoves him back. “Do you see them?”

  Troy throws his head back and laughs before wrapping Amelia up in a hug and kissing the top of her head. “Happy Thanksgiving, Doll.”

  Amelia smiles up at Troy, “Happy Thanksgiving, Superman.”

  Dex points toward the front door, “I saw Andrea and Steve pulling up. If they don’t fuck in the car again, they should be in any moment.”

  I chuckle, shake my head and kiss Olivia’s temple, “Can we help with anything?”

  Walsh shakes his head, “I think we have everything handled. Most things are baking in the oven right now and it won’t take long to fry the turkey and heat up the ham.” He nods toward the crock pot he was just stirring, “There’s hot apple cider which I just spiked.” He shoots Amelia a grimace, “Sorry, Sweetcheeks. I should have asked first.”

  Amelia puts her hand on her belly, I don’t even think she realizes she’s doing it. She’s not showing yet, but it’s still cute as fuck. She smiles at Walsh, “No worries, Snookums.” She looks at all of us and points to the other end of the islands, “There’s also beer in the cooler. You know where everything is.”

  Olivia’s smile is wide as she heads toward the cooler, “Want a beer, Babe?”

  I grin and nod my head. Walsh makes kissey noises and I flip him off. Amelia giggles and tsks Walsh; just like a fucking mom. It makes me grin from ear to ear. Amelia’s smile grows and she winks at me.

  When Olivia comes back, she hands me a beer before turning to Amelia, “Any ideas on names, yet?”

  Amelia bites her lip and nods, “Yeah, I think we’ve figured it out. It just feels right, ya know? It works for a boy or a girl. Well, not a traditional girl name, but we like it either way.”

  Olivia’s eyes widen and then she scowls, “You’re not going to tell me, are you?”

  Amelia shakes her head and gives a little shrug. Before Olivia can try and get it out of her, Andrea and Steve walk in followed by Ryder and Duncan. Just like that most of our family is together again. Amelia sets out veggies, dip, and brie wrapped in puff pastry that she pulls from the oven and sets out along with bread and crackers.

  It isn’t long before Blake and Grayson arrive followed closely by Beckett’s mom, Ellen, and Olivia’s brother, Nate and his husband Sam. We meet them in the dining room and Amelia immediately wraps Ellen up in a hug before making the rounds of introductions. Olivia and I wave at Ellen, her eyes light up when she sees my arm wrapped around Olivia. It feels fucking fantastic that everyone is so supportive of us being together.

  I’ve met Olivia’s brother and his husband before, but it’s different this time considering Olivia and I are together now. I know how important Nate and Sam are in her life. Olivia squeezes my hip and smiles up at me like I am her fucking hero.

  Fuck. It jacks me up when she does that. Nate looks between us and a huge smile spreads over his face. Nate pulls me into a hug. It surprises me at first, but Olivia giggles and that puts me at ease.

  Sam chuckles, “He’s a hugger, you’ve been warned.”

  Fuck it, I hug Nate back. He whispers, “You clearly make her happy and she does the same for you. Treat her right; that’s all I ask.”

  He lets go of me and I nod. I pull Liv against my side. “I’ll do everything in my power every day of my life to make her happy. I love her.” Nate gives me a huge
smile and nods.

  I glance at Sam and he looks like he could burst from happiness. Sam reaches out and squeezes Olivia’s shoulder. Sam and Nate had been together since Nate was in college, so Sam helped raise Olivia after they lost her parents. She grins up at him. He barely contains a squeal, “I’m so happy for you, Peanut.”

  Olivia rolls her eyes, but her face is split in a huge smile. “Jeez, you have no chill.”

  Amelia sidles in with our group at that moment, “Oh, that’s perfect.” She nods solemnly, “No one around here seems to have any chill especially when it comes to love.”

  Troy bumps his hip against Amelia’s and grins, “I told you, Doll, we got chill you don’t even know about.”

  Olivia scoffs and Troy gives her a faux innocent look. She rolls her eyes and starts the introductions, “Anyway, Nate and Sam this is Amelia.” I can see the recognition on everyone’s face; they may not have met but Olivia’s filled them in on each other. Olivia points to Andrea, “That’s Andrea over there and her boyfriend Steve.” Andrea gives a little wave and Steve gives a chin lift.

  Nate pulls Amelia in for a big hug before gushing, “It’s so nice to meet you, finally.” He rolls his eyes as if Amelia has been in our lives for years and we were keeping her from him. He whispers, “I’m so glad your safe.” A beautiful smile spreads across Amelia’s face. The way she faces her past shows me how I need to deal with my own; it’s in the past for her and that’s where she’s keeping it. Nate’s tone is bright, “And congratulations on the baby!”

  Amelia pulls Nate in for a hug this time and Sam chuckles and murmurs, “Oh, I can already tell these two will be thick as thieves in no time.”

  Nate laughs, “I’m just angling for invites to girl’s night.”

  Amelia throws back her head and laughs before she gasps. A look of worry crosses Nate’s face and I reach toward Amelia who shakes her head. “Sorry, I forgot I put my phone on vibrate because I figured I wouldn’t hear the notifications.” She reaches into her back pocket and pulls out her phone, “My ass doesn’t usually vibrate.”
