I findher on the back porch, curled up in a giant wool blanket with her hand wrapped around a steaming cup of coffee. I sit next to her, sliding under the blanket and she buries into my side without a second thought.
My eyes trail over the backyard, the sun rising just over the tree canopy and turning the snowy landscape a glistening gold. Birds chirp excitedly in the chill, morning air.
“There’s something peaceful about being surrounded by Mother Nature,” Kayla whispers, as if to not disturb the scene.
I rub my hand down her leg that’s folded up on the large bench cushion. “Look, I love modern technology, but I don’t rebuke the ones who say we should be one with nature. They are onto something.”
She laughs. “Yeah, you think? You believe in all types of stuff like connecting with consciousness and spirit?”
I shrug. “Yeah, why not? Makes much more sense to me than anything else.”
When she doesn’t answer, I let us sit in silence for a few moments before asking, “What are you doing up so early?”
She sighs. “Spoke with my mom, asked how Theo’s night was. They say, depending on if the snow is done, they might make it back this afternoon at the earliest.”
“Was it your first night away from him?”
Kayla gives me a sad smile. “Was it obvious?”
I trace a finger down her red nose. “Not necessarily, but you were pretty restless. I’m not the only reason to blame for your lack of sleep.”
She rolls her eyes. “Yeah, it was our first night apart. It’s always been him and me. I just thought it would be a small trip with Grandma, and now it could potentially be two days. I hate this.”
“I’m sorry,” I tell her, honestly upset that she’s hurting. “I am a little selfish to savor this time with you. I keep imagining how it would have gone if we hadn’t been alone. I assume it would have been disastrous. I don’t have much of a poker face.”
Kayla huffs out a laugh. “No, I agree it was probably for the best.” She pauses, looking down at her hands. “It’s just like a mom thing, a constant state of anxiety. I want a break, and a break comes but I can’t stop thinking about him.”
Leaning down, I kiss her forehead. “Sounds like you're a good mom to me.”
“What about your parents? Would they be open to you popping up with a grandchild?”
I groan. “My mom will be so overjoyed that she may beg you and Theo to move in. I’m the eldest of four, and none of us has given her grandchildren. ”
Kayla smiles. “That’s nice though. Theo only has my mom and me. So a large family like that… That’s something I’ve wanted for him.”
It tugs at my heart. I clear my throat to prevent the ache from growing and causing tears. “Well, I can’t wait to introduce them. Whenever you’re ready to.”
She grimaces. “We probably—I mean, you probably should deal with Kendall first.”
“Hmm,” I say noncommittally. “Sure, but I’ve already made up my mind. I want you and Theo. What I said last night. I meant it.”
Her lips purse, and we stare at each other before she slowly unwraps the blanket from around her, sliding to the floor between my legs. My breath catches, my length hardening instantly just from the sight.
“What are you doing, baby?”
Her fingers slide up my thighs to my waistband and pull it down. My cock springs out, landing on my abdomen with a thick thud. I let out a small hiss from the chill of the morning air.
Kayla grins up at me, her dainty hand wrapping around my shaft, and I grit my teeth. Just her simple touch has my balls drawing up, ready to blow, and I nearly lose it when she leans forward.
Her tongue swirls around the ridge of my cock, and my eyes nearly roll back. She sucks me into her mouth, hollowing her cheeks, and I thrust up, daring her to take more.
I look down at her with a smirk before a sharp ringing startles us both. My phone rings on the table next to us, Kendall’s name flashing on the screen. I swing my arm over to silence it, but my heart drops when her shrill voice pierces the air instead.
“Good morning, baby!”
Kayla moves to pull back, but my hand tangles into her hair, keeping her in place. Her eyes flash up to mine in fearful anger. I lick my lips, needing her to know that I want her more than her sister. That I’ll fucking hang up and block her sister if she asks me.
“Uh, morning,” I say, rocking my hips gently to push my cock deeper into Kayla’s mouth.
