Slowing my movements, I licked up the side of his neck and nibbled on his earlobe. “Fuckin’ love you.”
He sighed contently. “Love you, honey.”
It was then I stilled before drawing all the way out. “Shit,” I cursed. No wonder it felt fucking fantastic. “Babe, fuck, I didn’t wear a condom.”
Lucas yawned, stretched, and then climbed on the bed on all fours before laying on his stomach. “I thought it felt better than normal.” I made a noise in the back of my throat. He glanced back. His eyes widened. “I’m negative if you’re worried about that?”
I gawked at him. He was concerned I was worried about myself? This damn man. “No, babe, I knew you would be, but I hadn’t told you I was negative, which I fuckin’ am, but—”
“Wade.” He grinned. “I trust you. You wouldn’t have taken me without subconsciously knowing you weren’t putting me at risk. Now get in here and cuddle me.”
My body unlocked. The freak-out I’d started to have vanished since Lucas was being cool about it all, and shit, maybe he was right. Deep down, I knew I wouldn’t risk anything when it came to him.
I walked to the side of the bed, planted a fist beside his head, and leaned in for a kiss. “Gotta clean you up, babe, and we’re doing it again, if you’re not too sore.”
“Oh, I’m up for that.”
“Good.” I grinned, and for the damn billionth time, I couldn’t help but think how right he was for me. Hell, I was already growing hard just thinking of going in ungloved.
Epilogue
Lucas
“Where do you want this?” Dad asked as he came through the front door of our place.
I glanced up from unpacking my own box in the kitchen and smiled. “In the movie room, please.”
“If I can find the room. I’ve said it once, but I’ll say it again, this place is huge.” He glanced at Tech, who was wiring some cables in and around the house. Dad hummed under his breath. “Wade’s real protective, yeah?”
“You could say that.” Wade had Tech working around the clock the previous day to set up the security system before we moved in. Now Tech was back again to install the cameras.
Dad grunted. “Good to know my boy will be safe.”
My heart warmed.
“I’ll always make sure of it, Gerry” came from the hallway into the laundry room, causing Dad to scream.
“Jesus Christ, son, you need your own alarm to announce your arrival.”
Wade just chuckled, and I heard Tech’s own mirth.
“Now point me again toward the movie room,” Dad asked. I pointed the right way, and off he went. Then Mom appeared in the archway from the kitchen to the living room just as Wade walked toward me.
“Is Gerry in here?” She moved in and dumped another box on the kitchen island beside the one I was working on.
“The movie room, Mom.”
Her eyes narrowed. “Is he working or watching a movie?”
“Working. He’s taken a box there.”
“Well, good. I have to say, Wade, this place is amazing, and it’s so big,” Mom commented, but she had a gleam in her eye, so I knew something else was coming.
“That’s what she said,” Zion put in when he entered the room.
“Zion,” Mom scolded.
Wade just grinned, while I rolled my eyes.
“Anyway, as I was saying,” Mom started.
“Mom, I’m not sure where this is going, but I’m kind of scared,” I told her.
Wade, Zion, and even Tech laughed.
Mom sighed. “All I’m getting at is that this place would be good for a wedding, and then there’s enough room for grandkids.”
“I’m out,” Wade stated and quickly strode from the room with Tech climbing down the ladder and following. Zion had backed up and edged toward the exit.
Groaning, I rubbed a hand over my face. “Mom, let’s not jump to that yet or in the next year or two. Wade and I are still new. We’re not rushing anything. Well, besides moving in together.” I let out a laugh. “Okay?” I asked her.
She smiled. “Of course, sweetheart. I’ll give it a year with the way he looks at you.” She spun around and walked back out, passing my brother.
As soon as she was gone, Wade walked back in. I glared at him, and he shrugged with a smirk.
Zion sighed, placing a box on the floor. “Thank fuck, she didn’t start on me. She’s been tryin’ to set me up with all her friends’ daughters.”
Wade stopped behind me with his hands on my shoulders. I leaned back into his familiar touch. “Why don’t you just go out with one, and then she’ll probably stop.”
He lifted a brow.
“All right, maybe she wouldn’t, but it would be worth a try, right?”
“Yeah, maybe one date wouldn’t hurt me,” Zion said, off in thought about it.
Something got tipped over, or someone broke something, then I heard, “It’s okay.” Kylo looked around the corner into the kitchen and at us. He grinned. “Promise I didn’t break it. It was already broken.”
Zion snorted, then left the room. Maybe he was going to listen and see Mom about a date. It would do him good. As far as I knew, he hadn’t been with anyone in a while. Well, he hadn’t brought anyone home in a month.
“Kylo, I didn’t know you arrived.” I smiled. He returned it and walked into the kitchen.
“Hang the fuck on, how about we get back to what he broke?”
“He said it was already broken.”
“You believe him?” Wade asked, his tone gruff, as if he wanted me to say no, I didn’t.
“Well, yes?”
Kylo laughed. “You don’t sound convincin’.”
“I’m working on my acting skills.”
Wade snorted, while Kylo grinned.
“How’s work going?” Over a month ago, Kylo hadn’t told me he was applying for a job at the Polished Pussies and Penises. In fact, my calls and texts went unanswered, and when I tried to catch him unprepared by a visit, he managed to evade me. Then when Wade told me of the night Kylo had his first job at Polished, I crashed it before he even
