“Once Leo is back, we should do something as a family. Remind her that she’s not alone and that we need her.”
I grin as Freddie finishes his bottle. I don’t like thinking about it and I’m arrogant enough to believe I’ll coast through life until old age. Or I used to be. I used to wonder why Grumps was always so serious but I get it now. There is no room for error when family is involved.
“If anything was to ever happen to me, my cash is buried in the garden.
Rolling her eyes, she says, “It’s the twenty-first century, get it washed and put it in the bank.”
Burping Freddie, he spits up and I clean his mess. “Nah, sometimes you need cash, no questions.”
“Can we stop talking about death plans, please. You’re not going anywhere.”
“It’s just in case, babe.”
Holding Freddie to my chest, he drifts off to sleep and Frankie does the same in Aspen’s arms.
“We’ll lay them down, and then I’m having a shower. I can literally smell myself and we’re not talking about anything but us both alive and the future.”
My mood picks up and I stand. Together, we settle the babies in their nursery, and Aspen taking advantage of the quiet, doesn’t hang around. Moments later, I hear the shower running in the bathroom. Creeping out of the nursery, I grab the monitor and close the door. Aspen’s already in the shower so I put the monitor on the counter and undress before joining her.
“You know the rules,” she says.
Growling, I force out, “I haven’t forgotten.”
Her skin glistens as the water cascades down her back. I know the rules, but my dick forgets. Stepping closer, I take myself in hand and with my free arm, I reach around her and cup her breast, pinching her nipple.
“Mase,” she warns.
“I’m not breaking your rules.”
Turning her around, I push her against the tiles and claim her mouth. I rub her clit in soft circles, and as she moans, I slide my finger into her. It’s been so fucking long for the both of us, that a basic finger fuck has her clenching and climaxing in no time.
Turning her back around, I pull her hips toward me, her ass round and begging for me. I slap it once and watch a red handprint slowly appear, before dealing with myself. Like my old lady, it isn’t long before I finish.
“Fuck,” I grunt. “I fuckin’ needed that.”
“You know what to do.”
“I’ve been a little busy lately, babe.”
I know shit is bad when it effects my sex life, and I look forward to when life has settled down once again.
MYLES
The house is chaos but there’s nowhere I'd rather be. My old lady and my kids, the one thing no one can take from me without losing their lives.
Grumps would be turning in his grave if he could see what the club has become over the last few weeks. If he is watchingover us and has seen Leo’s been taken and how Cas and JJ can’t get their shit together, he’d want to stick his gun down their throats. The club is a fucking mess. At no point since I've worn the patch, have I ever seen it fall apart like it has now. I don’t recall it ever being like this as I was growing up either.
“What are you doing here? Is Leo back?” Em asks as I walk into the kitchen.
“Nah, Mase and I got our asses outta there before we did something stupid.”
She frowns and I pull her against me, pressing a kiss on the burrowed lines between her brows.
“So Leo’s not back? You still don’t know where he is?”
“Nope. So if I get a call, I'll have to leave quick.”
The corner of her mouth slowly hooks up and a light shines in her eyes.
