“It’s so strange to come back here.” Cecilia smiles as she looks around. “To think this is where our story began.” She turns to her husband with so much devotion in her gaze.
Silas lowers and kisses her passionately. “You and me,” he whispers to her.
“You and me,” she breathes back.
Gabe comes over, a wide grin on his lips as he wipes his hands on a dishcloth. “We have some news,” he announces to the room.
“Now she’s pregnant!” Emma exclaims.
“No. Once again, I am not pregnant.” Veronica sighs with a head shake.
“Maybe in two weeks.” Gabe winks at her glare. “We’re buying a house!”
“You are?! Where?” Morgan asks excitedly.
“We haven’t decided yet, but we think it’s the next step for us,” I inform her.
“You should move near us. We’ll all be neighbors!” Cecilia says with enthusiasm, liking the idea.
“AH!” Silas jumps onto the couch beside her, pointing at the floor. “What the hell is that?!”
Veronica laughs while picking our boy up. “Everyone, this is Blubber, our newest addition.”
“That thing is hideous. That’s not a cat, it’s a fucking rat!” Silas says loudly.
Cecilia smacks him. “Don’t be rude, he’s a cutie, and look at his tuxedo!”
“You named the cat Blubber…” Clay frowns.
“Yeah, I’m trying to wrap my head around that one, too.” Greyson chuckles and scratches his head. “The thing doesn’t have an ounce of fat on him.”
“Stop judging him. He’s perfect.” She stands with Blubber in her hands, bringing him over to Silas. “Here, just hold him. You’ll see, he’s a sweetheart.”
Silas shrieks and jumps over the couch. “Get that thing away from me!”
We all explode with laughter. For such a big, tough guy, he sure is scared of a little kitten.
Chapter thirty-seven
Veronica
Goodbye bubble, hello world.
~ One Week Later ~
I wake up to two different pairs of hands roaming my body, two different lips kissing my quickly heating skin. I hum with pleasure but keep my eyes closed, loving the sensation and how my whole body erupts with desire with every soft press of their lips and caress of their fingers.
This is our last free weekend before training camp and preseason start up. The boys are excited to get back to work, but they also know it means spending less time together. I guess that’s why they’ve been sticking to me like glue for the past week.
Let’s just say we haven’t really left the bedroom—well, more the penthouse—since we tend to get it on whenever the mood strikes. Which resulted in receiving numerous texts from averyannoyed Julian telling us to ‘KEEP IT IN THE BEDROOM!’Oopsie.
“Wake up, Kitten,” Noah murmurs near my ear.
“Uh-uh. Just keep doing what you’re doing.” I smile, eyes remaining closed.
“But we have a surprise for you, Vixen.” Gabe kisses up my spine to the back of my neck.
“I already know what the surprise is.” I lift my ass, rubbing it against his erection. “Just give it to me already.”
