“Thank fuck,” he said, letting out a burst of air he must have been holding in. “We have a lot to talk about.”
I pushed in closer and my sex teased his growing cock.
“That we do, but how about we celebrate first? Remember that look earlier?” I moved my hips back and forth needing to feel him inside me.
Bodie started to reach for the drawer in the nightstand but I stopped him. “I’m on the pill.”
His eyes widened at my declaration and what that meant. I had never had a reason to take the pill before so I hadn’t but after things had heated up with us, I decided there was a damn good reason and I’d been waiting for the right time to tell him.
Bodie pulled his hand back and slid it around the back of my neck to hold me still as he gazed into my eyes. “You sure?”
To answer his question, I lifted my hips and wrapped my hand around his thick cock, positioning it at my opening.
And then I sank down on his length in one fluid motion.
My eyes rolled back in my head at the feel of him and no barrier between us.
“Oh shit, baby, I can feel you all around me. It feels fucking phenomenal.”
I swiveled my hips and we both moaned in unison.
Celebration time was underway.

BODIE
It wasour turn to host.
We’d spent the week after Christmas moving. Two condos were now empty and the guys could use them for whatever came their way next. Gemma had also let her apartment close to campus go since she was on a month-to-month lease at that point and hadn’t been staying there anyway.
We were doing this and it felt surreal but amazing. I never thought I’d find myself dating again, let alone living with a woman. Things may have moved fast but I decided not to deny what felt right.
A man in love could go a bit crazy and nothing could stop him at times.
While I may have done things backward with the living together thing, I had been looking for a home for the girls and I since we’d started to settle into our new lives. When a beautiful place came up right down the road from Braxton and Jurnee, I couldn’t pass it up.
I also couldn’t imagine not having Gemma there with us as I’d told her Christmas night. When she agreed to shareourhome—and when I saidourI meant mine, Gemma, and the kids because it was all of ours—she had made me one happy man.
But I still was planning to rectify the backward timetable in my head and only the guys knew about it, just as they had the house.
I chuckled at how hard it had been for them to keep the secrets from their women. Then I realized I’d be the same way. Our ladies had us wrapped around their fingers.
Yup, it was that wholeman-in-lovething again.
Now I just needed to fight to keep everything under wraps as I finished the details of my plan. It may drive me crazy to wait but it would be worth it.
I glanced around the new house seeing Gemma’s finishing touches here and there. Decorating was not my forte so I told her to do her thing. Her face had lit up like a kid in a candy store and she was having a blast. But she wasn’t alone. The remarkable woman had enlisted Peyton and Piper to help her every step of the way. The bond the three of them were cementing into place was beautiful.
The doorbell rang and I walked to the front door to answer it. My gaze landed on the weathered gray country-style console table. There sat, for everyone to see as they entered and left our home, the picture of Isabelle smiling. It was one of Gemma’s doings and it touched my heart to the core.
Crazy how before I’d met Gemma, I had a hard time thinking about my late wife, talking about her, or even looking at pictures. The love Gemma brought into our lives and how she embraced Isabelle as if she had known her, cared about her, and missed her, showed what a heavenly soul my girl was.
When the doorbell rang again, I shook my head to clear my mind and pulled the heavy wooden door open to find a mass of people.
“Did you caravan over together?” I chuckled at all our friends standing on our porch.
Footsteps pounded behind me as squeals of excited laughter from Peyton and Piper echoed through the house. They made their way to each side of me and grabbed a hand.
