♥?1 Handful Of Generosity
Mix well. Sprinkle with kindness, faith, and love. Bask in the warmth of sunshine and savor it over a lifetime for a plateful of joy and warm memories. Love always, Scarlett.
Anna pulls the cutting board to her chest. “This is amazing, sweetie, thank you so much. I love it.” Standing, we meet each other halfway before hugging out our feelings.
Levi stands up, “This has been the most emotional Christmas I have ever experienced. Who wants to get fucked up?” he hollers, before turning to David and Anna. “I mean… who wants to be responsible and have a sip of wine or something?” Anna laughs, and David opens a beer, handing it to Levi.
“One, you can’t drink heavily on your meds.” Maddie pulls his shirt, bringing him into her.
“And two, we have plans.” She winks and kisses his cheek, making me halt.
“Okay. We need to sort out where everyone is staying tonight.” Anna looks at Spencer and me.
“Well, you two lovebirds can always stay here, but we do not want to hear you praising my son, while we hear the bed shaking.” Spencer busts out in laughter.
“What about me praising her?” He winks at me, making me turn white as a ghost.
“Spencer Collins, take your dirty boy comments elsewhere. I am too young to be a grandmother; however, in your stocking,” she points to Levi and Spencer, “are condoms to ensure I have no grandkids. Use them.”
Levi grabs the stockings and laughs before looking at Anna. “What about us? I think we could be qui–”
Anna shakes her head no and covers her ears. “Levi. Do not finish your sentence, young man.” He laughs hysterically while Maddie and I stand there completely embarrassed.
Anna turns and runs out of the living room. “David, fix your sons, please.” David laughs, choking on his beer.
Spencer is the first to sort it out. “You two go to Maddie’s, and we will stay at your house? I don’t want to hear my dad playing Santa again this year, telling my mom she’s on the nice list, and oh so deserving.” Levi pretends to vomit, while David laughs, walking away, hollering to Anna.
“Sweetheart, the kids are all gone tonight, ready to be my nice elf and ride the sleigh.”Ohmyfuckinggod.We all stand therewhile our ears are bleeding, wishing like hell we never heard it, but we did. So instead of wishing, we all cheer and chug a beer.
“Merry Christmas, bitches.” Spencer laughs, pulling me in.
Looking at Maddie, I laugh. “Girl, you'd better run while you still can.” Levi’s eyes grow, the corner of his mouth lifting before he pulls her into him.
“Letty, little do you want to know, but I like the chase. Maddie is never getting away from me; she can run, but that only turns me on more.” He kisses her cheek. “I’m keeping her forever, and always. But even then, I’ll never stop chasing her.” Maddie takes his lips with hers, smiling into them.
“Ewwwww,” I whine in my best tantrum voice.
Levi turns to Maddie, “Run, baby, because when I get you, I am going to…” I instantly plug my ears, as my mouth drops open.
Walking to the living room, I spot Anna and David dancing in the kitchen. I love this love unconditionally, never wavering, all in, kind of love, the type of love I can’t wait to live on, and grow with forever.
Chapter 59
For Always
Spencer
If you had told me I would be engaged at eighteen, I would have laughed at you and called you a fool. Now I hold my fiancée's hand as we walk to her house, and I can’t think of any other way I wanted this year to end. We have been through hell, quite literally. I have seen the fires that blaze within these walls, I have felt the aftermath and the war, but nothing is like the final draw.
Levi risked his life to protect his family; he will always be my hero and brother. When I asked him if I could marry Scarlett, I told him just that. I swore I’d protect her like he does; I’d love her hard and without end, give my life for hers, and be everything she needs me to be. She is everything I want to wake up to.
When I look at her, I see forever. I see my heart beating outside my body; she holds it in her very hands.
Making our way up the stairs, I reach for her arm, stopping her before pushing her into the wall. “You make me crazy, baby.” I steal her breath with my lips as my kiss reaches for her moans. Lifting her, I wrap her legs around my torso and carry her into her room. She feels so good wrapped in my arms. “I wanted to get you away from everyone at the party and make you mine, but you were too popular to get away.” She laughs into my ear, her warm breath falling on my neck, making my heart race faster.
“I’ve never been popular, that’s your expertise.” Kissing her neck, I nudge her nose with mine.
“Get ready, baby, because on Monday, everyone will know your new spot. On my arm, forever. If I’m at the top, then so are you.” Sliding down her body, I start removing her pants, slowly moving them down her legs, taking her underwear off too. Kissing her legs, leaving no spot untouched by my lips, she shivers into each breath, arching her back the closer I get to her needy slit, silently begging for me. “Tell me what you want?” Crawling back up to her, I remove her shirt and bra; she’s lying under me bare and on full display. “So fucking beautiful.” She smirks as she bites her lip, catching the amusement in her eyes. I bite it harder. “Tell me.”
