ChapterTwenty-Five
Harlow
He pushes me away for a moment, moving the cupcake, photos, and bookmark to the side before pressing me back against the blankets and stripping me of my t-shirt and pants, leaving me lying there in just my panties. He runs a finger over my bare skin, circling my nipples before trailing it downward. I shiver as he lifts the edge of my panties, dragging them down my legs until I’m completely naked to his gaze.
A small smile on his lips has my own turning up as he pulls his shirt over his head before standing up and shucking off his shorts so that he’s as naked as I am. Fisting his thick length, he kneels down next to me and runs his tongue through my folds without any hesitation. I flinch at the contact, but he uses his hands to hold my hips in place as he devours my pussy. The noises from my mouth arenotquiet, and I pray that they can’t be heard in the employee accommodation.
It’s not long before Declan has me worked into a frenzy, and I’m a squirming, pleading mess. “Please, Dec. I need you.” I tug on his hair until his mouth leaves my core and travels up, placing little kisses all the way up my body. He lines himself up and slams home in one quick movement, both of us groaning with pleasure.
“Fuck, you feel so tight. I love how your cunt squeezes my cock,” he mutters in a low rumble as he takes a moment to bask in the sensations. But that’s all he takes.
Pulling back, he sets a furious pace, hitching my leg over his hip to grind deep, hitting all the spots that make me call out his name. Both of us are panting and sweaty as I feel my orgasm just out of reach. I slide a hand in between us to flick my clit, and that's enough to send me over.
“God, I’m coming!” I shout as the waves of pleasure rush out from my center, sending shockwaves through my body.
“No, baby, not god, just Dec.” He grits his teeth as he fucks me through my orgasm, then he stills, and I feel his dick pulsing as he cums deep inside me. “God, that feels so fucking good.” He moans, sending residual pleasure through me as he grinds against my clit. His body slowly starts to relax, but I tightly wrap my legs around his hips when he goes to shift away from me.
“Please stay for a moment. I like the feel of your weight against my body.” He stays put, and I nuzzle my face into his shoulder. His hair is getting long, and it tickles my face as I place little kisses against his neck, rubbing my hands up and down his body. I can still feel his cock throbbing inside of me, though soon enough, he’s pulling away. I feel his cum slide out of me as he does, and there’s a part of me that mourns its loss.
He rolls onto his back and pulls me against him. “So I take it you like it?” he asks, sounding almost hesitant, and I chuckle, pulling away to prop myself up so I can see him.
“Dec, I love it. It’s amazing! I can’t believe you did this. Thank you.”
I lean in to kiss him again, but a sound catches my ear, making us both stop. It’s the sound of an approaching helicopter. Dec sighs and stands up, tugging me up with him and passing over my discarded clothes.
“Come on. Kai and Thomas are going to need you.” We dress quietly, our time now overshadowed by his brothers’ impending arrival. Not because they're here, but because we know what kind of mood they’ll be in after being forced to play happy family with Veronica.
By the time Dec and I gather up the blankets and my present, the helicopter has landed. Kai is the only one around as we walk across the landing strip while the rotor blades wind down.
“I’ll take these and put them in your bedroom.” Dec takes the photos and my bookmark from me and gives me a kiss. “I’ll see you tonight if I don't see you before.”
We part ways, and I wait as Kai climbs down from the cockpit, a wide grin on his face. My eyebrows raise in surprise. I was expecting a morose and depressed Kai, so this is a welcome surprise.
“Harlow, hi!” He waves his hand, which has something in it, before reaching back into the helicopter to pull out a gift bag.
He points at the patio and waves for me to keep going, so I leave him to lock up the helicopter while I take a seat at the outdoor table, which is surprisingly set for two, with another couple of cupcakes and two mugs of coffee. I’m taking a sip of one when Kai comes bounding across the patio to give me a quick kiss on the lips, leaving me breathless, before he takes a seat at the other setting.
“Hi. I had Mrs. Heyton set this up so we could talk while I gave you your birthday present.”
“You’re awfully cheerful. I guess the appointment went well, then?” I ask as he spreads his things out before taking a sip of his coffee. He scrunches up his nose in this really cute way before shrugging.
“Meh, Veronica was as manipulative as she always is, but Tom cops the brunt of that. She basically ignores me, so I got to ask all the questions I wanted about the baby. Look.” He passes me a sheaf of photo printouts, and my heart lurches as I catch sight of what it is. There on the paper, perfectly formed, is Kai’s baby, curled up all happy and snug in its home for the next three months. A tear slides down my face before I can stop it, but his finger catches it.
“Oh honey, I’m sorry. I know how hard this must be for you.” He takes the papers from me and pulls me into his lap. “But I hope you know that I see this baby asours. As far as I’m concerned, Veronica is no different than a surrogate helping out a family.” He holds me tight as a shudder washes over me, but then I get a hold of my emotions.
“I know. I really do. I don't hold this against you or the baby, but I do have moments where I want to stab the bitch. You’ll have to be patient with me. Once that baby is in my arms and we no longer have anything to do with her, I’ll be happy. Half of what upsets me is the shit she puts you guys through. The fact that Tom has to take her something every time to appease her drives me wild. What was it today?” I ask as I try to pull myself out of his lap, but he’s having nothing of it.
“A bracelet his PA picked out. He hasn’t put any personal thought into anything she’s been getting. He’s trying to stay as impersonal as possible even though I know it’s wearing on him. I’m worried about him, honestly.”
I look through the glass door, but Tom is nowhere to be seen. I didn’t think he would be, but being able to catch a glimpse of him would make me feel better. I’m about to suggest I check on him, but Kai beats me to it.
“Go and check on him, but before you do, I wanted to give you my present. It’s nothing fancy, but I hope you know how much this means to me.” He hands over a gift bag, and I pull out a book.Name Your Baby.“I want you to pick our daughter’s name. I don't think she should be named after anyone. Neither of us have any biological family to name her after except Nana, but she’s one of a kind, and I’m sure our daughter will be too, so I want her to have a unique name.”
I’m speechless. I know Kai already considers me his daughter’s mother, but until now, I hadn't truly allowed myself to get too attached. “Really?” I ask, still blown away by this.
“Yes, really. Have a look at what else is in the bag.” I put the book down and pull out the other two items. This time, a wide smile creeps across my face as I see what he’s given us. There in bright red and yellow are Neighpalm Shockwave jerseys, one obviously meant for me and one teeny-tiny baby-sized jersey. On the back of the big one is written Mama Summers. Then the little one has Baby Summers on it.
Aw, this guy is so fucking sweet, and he’s not even done yet. He pulls out two shoe boxes and opens them up to reveal matching ice skates. I start to giggle uncontrollably.
