He nods his head and kisses her on the head and turns to leave.
She smiles shyly at me and, fuck, if I don’t love that I can make her blush.
I give her one of my shirts to change into. At this moment, I wish I had a bathroom in my room, but she heads into the hallway to get ready for bed. We keep a stock of toothbrushes in there, so I’m not worried that she won’t find what she needs.
She comes back minutes later and I make my way to the bathroom. I have my own shower bag since I wouldn’t trust the guys not to fuck with it, or use my stuff, and I quickly get ready for bed.
When I get back into the room, she is already under the covers. I have to pause for a minute and take a look at the beauty before me.
Never in a million years would I think that I would be so lucky as to have someone like Sophie. Seeing her in my bed and smiling at me with a cute little blush on her cheeks makes me incredibly happy. Fuck, I want to remember this moment forever.
I strip down to my boxers before I climb in bed. I love the way her eyes check me out.
I love the fact that she automatically comes into my arms. I don’t have to drag her to me, and she doesn’t act shy about wanting to cuddle. Fuck, I never thought that I would be the type to want to cuddle.
I fall asleep with my arm around her and her head on my chest. It doesn’t take long for me to drift off knowing that my woman is here and safe in my arms.
Sophie
I wake up the next morning to a warm body behind me and a smile on my face. I can’t help but smile all the time now. I don’t remember a time when I smiled so much.
Being with Colton has been amazing. He doesn’t push me for anything that I’m not ready for. I know that he’s waiting for the house to be ready, and that I should be scared to be moving so fast, but I can’t help but feel like this is right.
I decide to let him sleep and head out to make breakfast.
I know that all the brothers love my cooking, and today they will be getting a taste of it fresh from the oven.
I know that it’s early when I wake up, but that seems to be a habit that I haven’t been able to break.
I’m lost in my own world listening to music I have downloaded on my phone and dancing as I am moving around the kitchen.
I have seemed to forget that I’m not in my uncle’s house, and that I am cooking before everyone wakes up.
I’m pretty much shaking my ass in Colton’s shirt and the leggings I was wearing yesterday. I know that I’m singing at the top of my lungs because my uncle and auntie are deep sleepers and they have never said anything about my singing, so they probably never hear me.
I always go off into my own world which is why I don’t hear anyone come in.
Not at least until it’s too late.
Once the song is over, the clapping starts… and it’s not just one person clapping; I hear several people clapping.
I drop my head so that my chin hits my chest and my face heats with embarrassment. I don’t want to look to see how many people there are behind me.
I reluctantly turn around and find the President of the club with his woman, and my Uncle Bear with some brothers that I haven’t remembered their names yet. Then there is Colton. He is leaning against the wall with an amused smile on his face.
Everyone looks like they are trying to hold back laughter.
I have no words for how I feel in this moment.
Thankfully Stacey, Ella, and Olivia come out from behind the guys and turn the music up louder and start dancing and singing horribly along with me.
I know what they are doing and I’m forever thankful for that. I hear some chuckles when Ella starts some weird shuffle and, wow, that woman can’t dance. That makes me love her more. She is risking embarrassing herself so that I won’t have to feel embarrassed.
They all grab something to help me cook with while dancing. Stacey starts singing to me with a wooden spoon and I can’t help but laugh and join along with the spatula in my hand.
I’m so thankful that I have met these women. They help make the world feel less lonely. I wish that I had friends like them growing up or had known them back then.
It isn’t much longer that the food and muffins are ready. With the women helping me, it goes by much faster.
I have no problem sitting on Colton’s lap while we eat.
The men take off for a meeting while we clean up. The door opens and a prospect comes in with my mother behind him.
I groan inside my head because I really don’t want to see her, and I’m surprised that it took her this long to come or to find me.
When she looks at me, she gives a smirk. Like I would ever willingly leave with her.
“Sophie. I knew you would be here with… them.” She looks at the prospect and gives Lily a look of disgust.
I snort. “Well of course. They are family.”
“Enough of this. We left years ago, and I swore we would never come back here. You had a life most people dream of. You
