“All I know is that if it’s my baby, I will do whatever it takes to have her carry it to full-term. After that, I’ll make sure it grows up surrounded by love and laughter. It will never know that its mother did what she did. I know Thomas feels the same… possibly even stronger than I do. I don’t want to choose between you and it. I don’t usually like to admit to being selfish, but in this case, I really want to be. If this baby is mine, or his, I know I speak for both of us when I say that we don’t want to lose you, but we won’t let the baby not have the kind of life that we could provide. Are you willing to be a part of our lives if our lives now include this baby?” I can’t quite meet her eyes when I ask this because I don't want to face seeing doubt in hers.
“Babe, of course. If that is your or Thomas’ baby, I will be in its life however you want me. If you want me to be fun Aunt Harlow who can teach them how to get their pony to count on command, or if it’s in more of a motherly role, I’m fine with that too. I’m all in, and not even a bat shit crazy woman is going to ruin this for us.”
She climbs into my lap and rests her forehead against mine as my hands go to her waist. “Let’s worry about it once we actually know the results. For now, let me try to make that haunted look in your eyes disappear.”
The feel of her skin against mine is enough to have the blood rushing to my dick, starting to harden under her pert ass. She leans in and kisses me, her tongue sliding against mine, twisting and twining with one another as she grinds down on my lap. I pull away and slide my hands up her back, her panting breath soft against my cheek as I tug at the straps holding her bikini top in place. First the ones behind her back, then the ones around her neck, letting it slip off and disappear into the bubbling water. Lifting my knees, I propel her out of the water so that her breasts are now in line with my mouth. I lean in and gently bite into the rounded top of one of them, not hard enough to leave an imprint but hard enough for her to moan and arch into me, before sucking to leave a pretty red mark. Sliding both hands down, I push away my shorts, freeing my cock, then use one hand to push her bottoms to the side. Taking one of her tight nipples into my mouth, I suck hard as I lower her onto my cock. She grunts as I work myself into her, her hands tightly grasping my shoulders.
“Fuck, yes, Kai. Just like that.” I have to raise and lower her a couple of times, but I finally bottom out. It’s my turn to grunt when she grinds down, trying to create friction on her clit. “Suck harder. Use your teeth,” she begs, and who am I to not comply?
I worry my teeth against her tight bud as she starts to undulate up and down on my dick. Her warm pussy, velvety soft, strangles me like a vice. Water starts to slosh around as her movements increase in speed, creating waves which crest over the edge of the tub and onto the ground below. I start to thrust up from below, helping her out, as she throws her head back and moans. She looks like a wanton goddess, and I feel my balls tighten. Sliding my hand down, I rub a thumb across her clit, and she tightens even more.
“Yes, god yes,” she chants, and her movement starts to falter, so I take over. Gritting my teeth, I pound into her. “I’m going to come,” she gasps, so I grab her head as her cunt grips down, bringing her mouth down to mine to muffle her scream. After waiting for her to ride out most of her pleasure, my orgasm finally slams into me. My toes curl as the rush of sensations flow through my limbs, my muffled groan still loud in the silence of the night around us. Thankfully, the hot tub is tucked away into a dark corner so that no one sitting in the living area can see us, but it does make it that little bit more thrilling to know that someone may walk out.
Harlow slumps against me, panting. “That was amazing.” Okay, that’s totally cause for a smile, and if it’s a little bit smug, well, it sounds like I earned it. ”And just what I needed. Will you sleep with me tonight?” she asks softly, and I hug her to me tightly, my dick still inside her.
“Of course. My brothers would have to tie me up to stop me.”
We’re still breathing heavily when Harlow climbs off my lap and looks into my eyes again, smiling. “Now,thatis a much better look. Well-fucked Kai is a big improvement over sad Kai.”
I chuckle as I chase after her bikini top on the other side of the tub and help her back into it. Now dressed, she snuggles in next to me, sighing contentedly.
“Tell me about your new house?” I ask, and I know I’ve asked the right thing because she sits up, and the relaxed look Harlow was wearing disappears, replaced with one of pure excitement.
“Oh, Kai, you should see it! It was magnificent. I can’t wait to move in with you all. Do you think Dad would be sad if we moved in right away and did the renovations around us?”
“I think he would be sad because he’s only just found you, but it’s not like you’re going far. You can still see each other every day.”
“One of the tunnels, the one that leads from the safe room, goes directly under this property and house. It actually connects to Dad’s property. We could see how easy it would be to put in an entry from here, then everyone living here could have direct access. It’s wide enough to be able to get a golf cart in, and we could leave one or two down there for our family to use. Jacinta wouldn't even have to get out of her PJs to come visit.”
I try to hide the groan that leaves my mouth, but I don’t stifle it quickly enough. “Giving her full access to a golf cart and the tunnels may become a problem. You know she's going to be over here all the time, stealing our food and drinks and encroaching on our time. She’ll say it’s because you need bestie time or something.”
A secret smile lights up her face. “I’m fairly certain she’s going to be way too busy with her own potential harem to be bothering us all the time.” That makes me cringe slightly. Yep, don’t need to think too hard on my sister and how many men are currently chasing after her.
“Regardless of Jazzy, I think that’s a great idea, and it won’t hurt for this house to access an escape tunnel too. Dad talked about putting in a safe room after Carmen and her friends invaded the place, but it never happened. Now, tell me more about your house.”
“We took plenty of notes as we went around, and I’m going to order some dumpsters to be delivered. I think Jazzy talked about wanting to hire a decorating company to help us with the inside.” I can see her chewing her lip in thought. “The house looks to be in tip-top condition structurally, but the decorating and furniture is dated. We're planning on stripping a lot of the rooms and starting over, but there were a few I want to leave the same. There’s a huge formal dining room that has the same gothic vibe as the front foyer, as does the ball room. I think it would be fun to leave them like they are. A talking point for if we decide to throw any parties or need to have people over for business.” She screws up her nose. “The master bedroom was much the same too, though I’m not too sure what to do about that.”
“What do you mean? Isn't that where you want to sleep?”
“Seems like the crazy count started sleeping in the panic room instead, so the master is a little neglected. I can’t say I have any issue with using the panic room. Honestly, I can’t decide between the two. They were both pretty cool.”
“Just use both. We keep the panic room a secret because it’s a panic room, but you can transition between the two depending on how you feel. It’s your place now, and if you want to spoil yourself a little and have two cozy spots of your own, I’m not going to stop you.”
She gives me a thoughtful look before nodding. “That’s not a bad idea. Who says I have to sleep in one place? I want the six of you to pick a room for your own too, so we need to do that, and you can tell the designer how you’d like it. All the bedrooms have ensuites, and we can redo all of them as well. For whatever reason, all the bathrooms look like they haven't been renovated since the seventies. While your bedrooms are being done, you can sleep in the spares. Or stay with me. I mean, we can make sure the bed and whatever else are big enough for you guys to join when you want.”
“And you're walking around the zoo with the McCallister brothers tomorrow? Tell me what you thought of them. Honestly, I’m still surprised Dad’s going to offer them our name. He’s never done that before, but his gut is never wrong.”
She chews on her lip, only drawing more attention to that frown of hers. “They do good work. Nyx’s enclosure is amazing, so I’m not worried on that front. I’m worried for Hope.”
I chuckle and shake my head. “Hope’s a big girl. She’ll be fine. She’s also got you and Jacinta to look out for her, and we all know that Jacinta will get rid of them if they step a foot out of line even if it interferes with Nana’s matchmaking tricks.” The frown softens with my reassurance, and I feel a little better knowing that I’m able to help clear her mind even a smidge.
“Hey, I wanted to ask you something. Would you fly out to Colorado and check out this hockey team with me? It will be a quick trip overnight, two at the most. I want to see their facilities, check out what we’re getting for our money and how much we’re going to have to put into it. I know you’re busy with everything here, but if you’re done with the preliminaries, then we could do it on the weekend. The following weekend is the fundraiser, and I know Jaxon wants to whisk you away to check out the cruise line after that.”
Her eyes widen, and I chuckle. “Welcome to life as a Summers. It’s why we make sure to enjoy ourselves when we do get time off because we don’t often slow down in between.”
“I’d really like to come with you. Can I let you know after I see how tomorrow goes?”
“Sure, babe, no pressure,” I assure her. “If it turns out you can’t, I’ll be sad, but I’ll also understand.” I give her a kiss on the cheek just as a light switches on above us, and we both shade our eyes against the glare. When the black spots disappear, Declan is leaning against the wall.
