Together Forever by Vicki Green

ready to have the big conversation about Shane and me with him yet. Besides, he’s still mad at me for moving here in the first place and now with Paul on the loose it will send him completely over the edge of no return. UGH!
    And mother, well, I think she was relieved she wasn’t coming but has threatened me she will be coming up in the next week or so. She said she must see my condo and the man that has taken me away from her. Oh, my! Can’t wait for that. Paxton is like a kitten compared to my mother’s claws.
    Paxton and I walk in the door at Jesse’s and hear laughter coming from the kitchen. We walk in to find Shane, Tuck, Cassie and Jesse sitting around the table drinking. Well, Cassie is drinking water to their beers. She is still breast feeding the twins. I’m sure after tonight, she may pull them off and give them store bought so she can have some drinks.
    I smile as I walk to Shane and sit on his lap, kissing him quickly. I see Paxton still standing in the doorway and I turn to everyone. “Cassie and Tuck, this is my best friend, Paxton. Paxton, this is my family.”
    The chair screeches when Tuck gets up and walks to Paxton, his hand out in the air in front of him. “Tuck here. You must be the gorgeous Paxton I’ve been hearing about.” I watch as her eyes roll and she walks right past him, not giving him the time of day. She walks straight for Jesse as he rises from his chair. He picks her up and swings her around as they hug.
    “Jesse! So good to see you! It’s been way too long.” He sets her down and they begin chatting.
    I see Shane, with his mouth open. I laugh and walk over to Tuck, putting my arm through his. “Don’t feel bad. She did that to Shane too. It’s just how she is. Maybe if you’re lucky she’ll actually talk to you before the nights over or tomorrow.” I snicker.
    His head turns to me with a cocky grin. “She’s fucking beautiful. I must have her.” He looks back to her and licks his lips. “I will have her. May not be tonight or tomorrow but some day, she will be mine.” I pat his chest and smile.
    We have a great night sitting around the Christmas tree, talking, drinking and sharing the babies. I can’t believe how big they’ve gotten in just seven days. I peek at Shane from time to time watching him hold one of the twins. How sweet and gentle he is. You can tell he genuinely loves kids. He would be a great father. I smile.
    Paxton only fake smiles at Shane and Tuck but talks up a storm to Jesse and Cassie. This is going to be a very interesting visit. The night after Christmas we will go to The Sweet Café and exchange gifts with Lana and all our friends who work there. I hope she is a little friendlier there. One can only hope, fingers crossed.
    Paxton is upstairs with Cassie helping her out with the twins. Jesse brought her bags down to the guest bedroom earlier. Yes, bags. Seriously, she can’t even spend one night without all three of them. Sigh.
    Before midnight Shane and I head downstairs to my old room. We share the bathroom, getting ready for bed. I had just put my toothbrush down when he grabs me, lifting me over his shoulder like a caveman. I squeak and slap his cute butt.
    “Shane! What are you doing? Put me down.” I yell as I am smacking him continually. He keeps walking until I hit the bed with a thud. “Oomph.” My eyes close with the impact. I open them to see Shane hovering over me, the look of lust filling his eyes. “Shane, no. We can’t. Not here,” I giggle.
    His mouth meets mine and it opens instantly, feeling for his tongue. I am not disappointed. His hand reaches under my night shirt and starts playing with my breast. His fingers’ rolling my nipple until it’s peaked and hard. I arch my back in an automatic response to his touch. His other hand slides down my body, pushing it through the top of my underwear until it finds my hot, wet sex. “So, wet. Fuck, you’re so wet.” He whispers in my ear. He rubs up and down my folds,
