Heading down the stairs to finally tell Logan the truth petrifies me. I don’t know how he’s going to react, which makes me want to run for the hills. I’ve always known that this moment would come, but I didn’t expect it to be today. After last night, I thought it would be a very long time, but my life has a way of surprising me when I least expect it. And this whole house business… well that is insane! I knew my dream home was for sale but I never thought that I would be the one to own it, or to live there or whatever.

My breaths are a little ragged, my heart bouncing in my chest, but with Kade’s hand in mine I feel like I can actually tackle this without completely falling apart. I find Logan with Mom in the kitchen, making cupcakes. They’re having the best time together, I hate to interrupt it, but I do need to do this now.

“Oh!” Mom looks surprised as she sees us together. “Lucie, Kade. Is everything okay?”

“All is good, Mom,” I reassure her with a smile. “We just need to have a word with Logan.”

I give her a meaningful look so that she knows what I intend to do. Mom nods, wipes her hands on her apron and exits the room, leaving us all alone to finally get the truth out. She might have gotten the hint, but Logan hasn’t. He remains where he is, dipping his fingers into the cake mix like that’s the only thing he’s ever been given to eat. Now that Nanny isn’t around to watch him, he’s taking full advantage!

“Logey, sweetheart,” I say in a soft tone of voice. “Do you mind if we have a little chat?”

“Hmm?” He turns and hops off his stool then stands in front of me giving me an expectant look.

“Logan.” I don’t know where to start with this, maybe I should have come up with some sort of plan. “Erm, well, you know how I always told you that your dad was away travelling?” He nods, his little face falling. I don’t think he ever expects this story to end with good news, which is so sad considering his young age. “Well, he’s back now. He’s been away working very hard to provide a good life for you and now he’s here.”

“He is?” Logan looks at Kade. “Do you know who he is?”

I can’t help but laugh at this comment. “Oh sweetie, it is Kade. I know that you’ve met him before and I didn’t tell you then, which maybe was wrong of me, but I wanted to make sure that you two would like each other first. I didn’t want to tell you if you didn’t get along with him…”

My words trail off, because Logan leaps into Kade’s arms. He looks happier than I have ever seen him before which just warms up my heart. I know that I haven’t always done everything right, I’m very far from perfect, but witnessing this moment confirms that at least I haven’t screwed things up irrevocably. There’s still hope for all of us. We’re a long way off that perfect family picture, but closer than we have been in a very long time, and that’s enough for me. Father and son, holding onto each other is just wonderful.

“Can we play football again?” Logan asks while bouncing up and down on the balls of his feet like an excitable bunny. “I love playing with you. I always win!”

“Of course we can! I would love that. Come on, let’s hope over the bushes to my parent’s home now. Maybe we can even go in and say hello?” I nod, confirming that I don’t mind that at all. Logan knows Kade’s parents anyway, it’ll be a change to know who they really are, but I have hope that we’ll get there. “Let’s go.”

I watch then leave, my heart swelling with pride and joy, this is everything…

This day has been incredible, my head has been spinning all the time. After the game of football, Kade’s parents came over to our house and we all had an awesome family day. Luckily, because no one knows that my mom knew – which is a secret that I take to my grave, just because I think it’ll be hurtful to say – no one had any issues with one another. The amount of times that I assumed all this would explode, I was wrong. It’s been beautiful, I’m very lucky. It isn’t everyone who can let out a secret and have it go so well.

“So, now that our body is in bed…” Kade says to me playfully. “Do you want to go and see the house?”

He dangles the keys in the air and I snatch them from him. Of course I do, I’ve been looking forward to it all day. I keep thinking about what our lives will be like when we end up there and it awesome.

“Come on, I’ll race you…” I start running towards the house with Kade no far behind me. We end up giggling like idiotic kids all the way there, not stopping until I step foot inside. “Oh wow, Kade, this is…”

My heart skips about ten beats. This place is mine, it’s going to be ours. One day, we’re all going to be here, like a real family. And it’s all down to me. Basically, Kade said it’s whenever I’m ready…

“You like it?” He spins in the kitchen, laughing once more. “I’m so glad that you do. We can show Logan too whenever you think he might be ready.” Oh, Logan is going to love this. “It can be ours.”

I can’t hold back any longer. Something has been building up inside of me all day long and now we’re finally alone, so I practically leap on him. I wrap my arms around him and I crash my mouth into his. I kiss him with all the passion that I’ve had locked away, just needing to be set free.

“Oh, Lucie,” he moans in excitement, loving the surprise I’ve just given him. He grips tightly onto me and grins. “Time to christen our new home? Already?”

What he doesn’t yet realize is that I have something else that I want to do to him, another surprise that I haven’t done yet. After all the treats that he’s given me today, I have something else for him. So, with a cheeky smile, I run my tongue along my top lip and I drop down to my knees with a thud. He gasps, getting where I’m going with this and he runs his trembling fingers through my hair. Yep, he loves this!

I fiddle with Kade’s belt buckle, smirking up at him the entire time. The intense, dark desire in his gaze has a heat pooling in my panties. I’m so desperate for him, I can barely take it, but first, I need a taste. As the buckle springs open and I slide down his trousers, the deep thrill grows. With a true sexual confidence, I dip my hand into his underwear and I yank his thick, throbbing erection free.

“Oh my,” I pant in sheer joy. “You’re so big, I always forget how big you are.”

His cock looks massive in my hand, he makes my fingers appear feminine and delicate. I lick my lips again, but this time because my mouth is watering. I don’t know what he’ll taste like, but I’m keen to find out. As I inhale his masculine scent, I’m sure it’s going to be amazing. I lean my lips forward, pursing them into a kiss, then I rest them against his tip. His sweet, salty desire rests there and encourages my mouth to part.

I open my lips and I slide my mouth as far down his long shaft as I can manage. He fills my cheeks, it’s a very strange sensation, but not a wholly unpleasant one. Even as he hits the back of my throat, I like it. Especially as Kade’s fingers knot up more and more in my hair and he tugs ever so slightly. Desire gets the better of him and I love making him lose control.

I slide my mouth up and down his length, darting my tongue out and licking him as I do. I don’t know what makes me do it, it simply feels instinctual. Luckily, Kade lets me know that he likes it by his desperate moans.

“No, no, stop,” he eventually gushes. “Not like this. I need more… I need you…”

He tucks his hand under my armpits and he drags me into a standing position. Then he crashes his mouth against mine and he walks me backwards until my back hits the icy cool wall. I squeal, but it doesn’t do anything to dampen my heat. My entire body is on fire and with his hands all over me, that flame continues to get brighter and brighter. Kade tucks his hand under one of my legs and he presses my foot flat against the wall. The skirt I’m wearing flies out and allows him to slip between my legs with ease. I can feel his tip pressing against my underwear and it’s driving me to the edge. I can feel him, but I can’t have him… which is a little too much like our relationship has been the entire time.

“I love you,” Kade whispers into my ear, his breath tickling my neck as he does. “So much, Lucie.”

“I love you too.” I toss my head back and slide my eyes closed. “I love you, Kade Roberts.”

And then he tugs my underwear to one side and he slides all the way in. He feels phenomenal, the sensation of him inside of me is something else. My walls clamp around him, desperate to keep him there. My entire body buzzes with heat and light, I’m fizzing needily with anticipation, this is just so much.

My hands cling possessively to Kade’s neck and he grips my hips as we thrust against one another in unison. It’s almost like we’re dancing, the movements are utterly perfect, I love it almost as much as I love him. My heart rattles against my rib cage, my breaths struggle to break free of my throat, my whole body vibrates. My brain it utterly consumed by Kade, in this moment he is my whole world. We’re in our house, unifying our love, on the day I finally get our family together. It’s perfect.

The orgasm shatters and crashes through my body. It hits me from behind, leaving me winded and breathless. Kade holds me upright, it’s his hand alone that stop me from collapsing to the ground. My trembling knees knock against his while the pleasure rolls over me in endless waves. It lifts me up, I can’t even feel my feet on the floor anymore, I’m soaring, in a pool of warm pleasure. The happiest I’ve ever been.

“Oh, oh God, Kade,” I gasp out his name, knowing that this pleasure is all because of him. He rests his forehead against mine, staring deeply and lovingly into my eyes. The moment is reminiscent of a time from long ago, but this time it feels more real than before, this time, I just know.

We hold onto one another for a long time afterwards, just living in the one perfect moment. Finally, we have our time to be in love, thankfully now we can be together without any barriers between us. I have so much hope that this time, neither of us will mess things up. If I could go back in time and speak to childhood me, I would tell myself to be patient and wait, because I will get everything that I’ve ever wanted soon enough. This moment, this perfect wonderful moment, is absolutely worth waiting for.
