“All I’m saying is that it’s fast for you to be moving in together. How do you know that he doesn’t have some crazy or annoying habits you don’t like?” Stacey says, and Olivia nods her head in agreement.
Olivia snaps her fingers. “Yes! It’s like when Aiden threw his dirty clothes beside the laundry basket and not in it! Why can’t they ever make it the extra inch? EVERY. SINGLE. TIME!” she says loudly. I look out the patio doors, and Steal looks back and winks at her.
When I look back at her, I catch her sticking her tongue out at him.
I can’t help but chuckle. You can see the love they have for each other even though she’s bugging him about laundry.
Around my mom and Vince, I wasn’t allowed to complain about anything. I thought things in my head but was always told that my opinion didn’t matter.
Ella looks at Olivia excitedly and bounces in her seat. “Yes! Or how about when they eat all your snacks?! Sometimes I think, ‘I will eat that later’ and have a nap with D.J. and when I wake up, all my food is gone!!!” she says loudly showing how passionate she is about this topic.
Since the patio door is open, Damien hears her clearly.
“That was one time, babe! One time!” he yells back, and everyone laughs.
“And don’t let it happen again!!” she yells back, but she has a smile on her face so I can tell that she’s not actually mad.
I hope to have the easy banter with Colton that these couples have with each other. You can see that they love their men even if they bug them with small things like laundry or food.
I can’t help but feel nervous moving in with Colton, but I know in my heart that he is nothing like Vince. He has been patient and sweet to me ever since he started watching over me. It also helped that we spent so many hours together and, after I got over the shy awkward stage of having someone there, it was nice to have someone to talk to. He always seemed interested in what I said or did, never bored, which was a nice feeling for a change.
I look around at all the people here to welcome us into our new home, and I can’t help the smile that comes over my face. They make me feel closer to my dad. I can’t help but hope that he is watching over me and is pleased that I finally found my way back home. I now see why these people and this club were so important to him.
Chapter Ten
Sophie
Everyone is just leaving. I’m sure that they would have stayed longer, and it would have been a party, but Colton had made it obvious that he wanted everyone out. I couldn’t help but giggle when he said it was time for them to leave because he wanted to finally be alone with his woman.
We have been alone together, but nothing like this. Sure, it might be stupid to move in with a man you haven’t had sex with but, like all things with Colton, it just seems natural.
Colton shuts the door and locks it. The women had helped me clean up quickly before they were basically pushed out the door. They didn’t feel right leaving me with a mess.
I look around and it doesn’t seem so bad, so I decide to leave it until morning.
Colton looks at me with a smirk and grabs my hand to start pulling me into the bedroom.
I follow him with nerves and excitement fluttering around in my stomach.
When we get to the bedroom, I start doing my nightly routine. I don’t want to think about what will happen when we get in that bed because it might make me more nervous than I already am.
I head to the bathroom to brush my teeth and wash my face. When I leave, Colton is headed in to wash up too. He gives me a small pat on my bum when I walk by, but it makes a little giggle break free.
I quickly change into the pyjama shorts and tank top that I like to wear to bed. They have been the most comfortable out of all the clothes I have bought so far.
When I get into bed and start to pull the covers over me, I hear Colton come back from the bathroom.
I can’t help the sound that comes out of my mouth.
He already stripped down to his boxers but gives me a knowing look. He closes the bedroom door and climbs into bed.
We both lay on our sides looking at each other. We both don’t say anything, but I know that he’s probably doing the same thing I am right now. Checking out his body, I can barely believe that I’m in bed with such a gorgeous man. I have read about and seen on TV guys with muscles like him, but never had the experience to be so close to one. You can tell that he takes good care of himself.
When my eyes make it to his face, he’s staring back at me with raw lust and desire in his eyes. I can’t help the catch in my breath. I had always longed for someone to look at me the way he is right now.
If I had felt insecure about being naked or intimate with him, it would have gone away through seeing how much he wants me with just that look. It’s like he’s not holding anything back and is letting himself be vulnerable with me, and I can’t help but admire that. It takes a lot to open yourself up to someone, and
