When he replies, “Forever,” my life is officially complete.
Waves of the most intense pleasure rip through me, and I have to bite down on his shoulder to not scream out for his entire family to hear.
His release comes quickly after, and we lie here for I don’t know how long, just kissing and holding on to each other, signifying even more that he’s my one and only.
CHAPTER THIRTY-NINE
David
I wake up, thinking I’m in a dream, but I quickly realize it’s all real as I lie here in my childhood bed, with my arms around the girl I’ve always wanted. I just never knew she was right in front of me this entire time.
She rustles around, and I kiss the top of her head.
“Good morning.”
She looks up at me with sleepy eyes, keeping her head on my chest. “Good morning.” She lays her head back down, getting comfy again. “I can’t believe we were able to share a twin bed.”
“I can’t believe I have a girl in my twin bed,” I tease, making her laugh. “You’d better hurry up and get out of here before we get caught.”
She moves to do just that, and I catch her, bringing her back to me.
“I’m just kidding.”
I laugh even harder when she slaps my chest and says, “Dick.”
I hold her tighter. “That’s the girl I’ve missed.” I kiss her head one more time. “Let’s get up though. I’m sure everyone is already downstairs, making breakfast.”
“They make breakfast together?” she asks, genuinely curious.
“Of course they do. It’s Sunday. Is that not what your family does?” I ask, seemingly just as confused.
She shrugs with a sigh, then sits up with her back to me. “Not really. It’s just me, and my parents never really did things like that. My mom would make me food, but when it’s just the three of us, I guess, it’s not as big of a deal to do things together.”
We both stand, and I can’t help but smile, seeing her in my T-shirt hanging down to her knees.
“Well, get ready. You’re about to learn what having a big family is all about.” I point at her playfully. “Don’t say I didn’t warn you.”
She slips on some pajama shorts but keeps my T-shirt on, which makes me even happier. I love that she’s not trying to put on some show for my family and be someone she’s not, and knowing she already feels comfortable around them gives me the best feeling.
We enter the kitchen, hand in hand.
“Morning, everyone,” I say as I lead her to where the coffee pot is and pour her a cup.
My mom walks straight to us, wrapping her arms around Zoe. “Morning, sweetheart. How did you sleep?”
The blush that instantly covers her face makes me laugh, so I turn my back to both of them and pour myself a cup as well.
When my mom slaps my back, I hold up both coffee mugs and turn to face her.
“What? I didn’t say anything.”
She tries to hide her laugh as she heads back to the stove, and I guide Zoe to the table, where my dad and youngest sister, Cindy, are sitting.
“What’s the plan for the day?” Mom asks.
“I was going to take her out on the ranch, show her around on the horses,” I reply before taking a sip.
“You have horses?” Zoe pops up in excitement.
