Zandor
What a fucking day. You wake up feeling like shit and thinking there was no fixing a situation that can’t be avoided and then bam! She appeared in a little short gray skirt with black tights, a little gray cami and that black, can’t fuck me cardigan sweater teasing the hell out of my cock.
She walked out into the dining room with Momma Joe, damn she looked so shy right now. I was cool with it, didn’t need to fix it for her, I knew every one of the people in this room was gonna love her just like I did, look at them all watching every step she made. Just like me, they were ready to catch her if she fell.
Cyrus carried the carved turkey and set it in the middle of the table. I got up and pulled the chair out for my beautiful kitten who gave me pouty lips and sat next to her brother who gave me a look as if to say, ha ha fuck stick.
Momma Joe walked into the dining room with the Professor, and Carly stood up and hugged him.
“I’m so glad you made it, I feel like we never see each other outside of work anymore.” Professor Higgins kissed her cheek.
“Happy Thanksgiving, Carly.” He sat next to me.
“Now that we’re all here, we can start. Cyrus, you first.” Joe sat next to him.
“Sure. Obviously it’s been a good year here for our family. We have added a few new members. So I’m very thankful to the beautiful Carly.”
Jase glared at him and I smirked.
“What she has given to me I can’t even begin to tell anyone here and I probably shouldn’t since Little Bell doesn’t need to add anymore vocabulary words to the old think bank before she heads back to school. But I will tell you this, Carly you have changed my life for the better. I thank the good lord for the Prince every day because without it you’d have never stuck around to bring my little Birdie into my life. The girl whose ass I fought to bring out of the damn cage and now I’d stuff her back in just so no one else could have her. I love you, Birdie.”
Tara smiled and looked at Carly and then at Bekah, they all had a look on their face that made me want to laugh.
“So the first toast is to lavender panties.” Cyrus raised his glass and Jase threw a poison dart glare at him.
Jase stood up. “My turn. I want you all to look at the beautiful bird we have been blessed with. All of that amazing juicy stuffing that we are about to devour with our mouths, caress with our forks, pound into with…”
Jase looked at Carly who was now tapping loudly on the table with a fork. “Sorry Baby, but he started it with all his lavender…”
“Jase,” Momma interrupted. “Please continue, just two things that your grateful for please boys that’s all I ask, every year, that’s all.”
Momma sat back and took a drink and looked at me and raised her eyebrows, a warning and then looked at Xavier who was having a hard time keeping his eyes open, lightweight.
“Fine, I’m thankful for my wife’s mouth. The encouragement and love that comes from it makes every day better. I’m thankful for my beautiful daughter, her hugs make even the coldest fall nights warm.”
Carly stood up and excused herself.
Jase sat down, glaring at his plate.
“You wanna take care if that, or should I?” Cyrus teased Jase
“Cyrus I swear to you I will knock your mother…”
“Enough! Jovanni go!” Momma had spoken, and Jase got to it.
He walked out of the room with his tail between his legs sputtering.
“They think I don’t know.”
“Know what Bella?” I asked.
“Carly wants a baby and Daddy says no. He’s afraid if she dies, I won’t have a Momma. I hear them sometimes you know.”
I got up and grabbed her from her chair. “People die right, nothing anyone can do about it. You afraid of that happening?”
“No, not really.” She smiled but her bottom lip stuck out.
“Look around here, all these people will always be here for you, right? We’ll get each other through any shit we get thrown at us.”
Bella smiled and looked down at Bekah.
“Is your mommy dead?”
Bekah looked shocked. “No Bella, she’s not.”
“Mine is, and Tara’s and Carly’s I just thought maybe.” She shrugged her little shoulders.
“I’m very sorry,” Bekah said in the sweetest voice.
“It’s okay, I don’t remember her. I heard she was real nice.”
Tara looked over at her. “We got it all under control though, right, Bella?”
Bella smiled at her and nodded.
“Tara and Bella have a very special connection,” I said as I looked down at Bekah.
“We sure do. Bella helped me deal with all sorts of past issues. She’s a very brave girl.”
“God you’re fucking beautiful,” Cyrus whispered a bit too loud, and Tara blushed.
“Uncle Cyrus,” Bella roared with laughter and everyone at the table laughed, too.
Momma filled her glass up and sat back rubbing her temple. She was stressing.
“Momma Joe, I’m thankful for you.” Bella smiled at her.
“That’s very sweet Bella, I’m thankful for you too.” Momma smiled at her.
“I’m thankful for all my uncles and aunts too.” Bella smiled proudly. “Even though I didn’t know my mother, and Momma Charlotte died a few months ago, I have you guys and you’re a LOT of fun.”
Jase and Carly walked out holding hands, her face was red and his was pale as a ghost.
When they had sat down, Momma stood. “I am thankful for everyone in this room. Each of you holds a special place in my heart. No matter how long I’ve known you.” She looked down at Bekah and back to Tara and Carly. “I am grateful that you’ve not run for the hills.”
Professor Thomas laughed and she giggled. Momma fucking giggled.
“I am especially thankful that we have Bella now and forever.” She raised her glass.
We all followed suit, “Forever Steel.”
Bekah bit her lip and smirked at the table. When she looked up at me I winked and she blushed.
“Zandor, are you up for this?”
“Yes Momma, of course.” I stood. “I’m thankful to have such a strong family. One who has taught me that regardless of what steps we take in our past, our future is ours to do with as we please.”
I looked at Momma and she smiled proudly at me, “I’m also thankful for the turkey that is set before us. Although when I look at the leg I can’t help but think it’s very small in comparison to.” I looked at Momma who was now scowling and then at Bekah who quickly looked away. “Well maybe not small, but definitely not unusually large. So raise your glass and toast to the cock…a doodle do, that will feed us all tonight and fill our bellies for days to…come.”
Xavier laughed and stood. “I’m thankful for freedom from chains that bind, and a harvest of the bountiful beauty that awaits. I’m thankful for the fallen comrades who have ensured I no longer have to worry about which tree they have picked before me. Oh, and for family of course.”
Momma looked around the table and took another drink. “Anyone else?”
“Carly, go ahead.” Jase looked at her sadly.
“Well, I know you’re all aware that Jase and I have been having issues. When I started pushing to give Bella a sibling I was kind of sure that she would already be having one.” Carly started crying. “And I’m sorry if that makes any of you upset. I want to be happy and celebrate this. I’m due on…”
“WAIT! Are you saying you’re pregnant?” Bella nearly jumped across the table at her.
Carly nodded, and I set Bella on her feet. She ran around the table and was about to dive on her when Jase caught her.
“Easy Bella, okay? She’s in a fragile state right now.” Jase set her down, “Okay, you understand right?”
“Yeah, I’m gonna be a big sister.”
Carly smiled at her and pulled her onto her lap.
“You shouldn’t be lifting,” Jase scolded.
Carly hugged Bella and glared at Jase.
Momma Joe had tears immediately. She got up and walked over and hugged Jase and then Carly.
“This is truly a blessing. Thank you Carly,” she kissed each of her cheeks and then rubbed her belly.
Carly smiled, “Thanks.”
Professor Higgins got up and hugged her.
“You’ll be a grandfather,” Carly whispered.
“Your mother must be so happy,” he whispered back.
We all gave her a hug and Jase as well. He was scared, I cant say as if I could blame him but what happened to Bella’s Momma wasn’t normal. Carly would be fine, better than fine.
Tara smiled. “My turn?”
Cyrus nodded.
“Cyrus and I want to get married on Valentine’s Day so I’m thankful for that. We also want to start right away giving Bella and her sibling cousins, so I’m thankful for that, too.”
Cyrus took her hand and kissed it.
I looked down at Bekah and she looked like Jase, pale and uncomfortable. It didn’t hit me until just then that it must be hard on her hearing all this.
Professor Thomas stood. “I’m thankful that Carly is having a child and that she is part of an amazing family. Your Mom would be very proud of you, Carly.”
Christoff stood. “I’m thankful that I’m here to be part of all this commotion, it’s been very entertaining for the most part. I’m thankful for the feast laid before us.”
Bekah looked around and then stood. “I’m thankful for the hospitality and um, my new job that starts tomorrow that gives me the opportunity to finish my degree.”
“What’s your degree in, Bekah?” Momma asked.
“Design.” Bekah smiled.
“I hope it’s a paid internship. Steel offers them if it’s not.” Momma smiled.
“I applied at Steel, but wasn’t accepted.”
Momma looked at me, and I looked down. Oh shit.
“Why were you turned down?”
“Momma…”
“No Zandor. Bekah, why were you turned down?”
Bekah looked at me and cocked her eyebrow. “No, please Joe, let Zandor answer that.”
Momma was looking at me, I didn’t even have to look up to know it. “It wasn’t what she wanted.”
“Did she tell you this?”
“No, but…”
“But nothing Zandor, you fix this or I will.”
I heard Bekah laugh and looked down at her. “No, it’s a blessing actually. I was contacted by a company from overseas who must have found me on Linked In. They offered me a job, and yes, it pays very well.”
“Do you have to travel for it?”
I looked up and Momma was giving me that I know you are hiding something look.
“No, actually it’s local. Well about fifteen miles outside of town. I think it used to be a dance club of some sort. Sisters something. The owner’s remodeling it.”
“Oh, that’s nice dear. And what will it become?”
I looked back up at Momma who was looking at Bekah and then her eyes came back to me. I looked away quickly seeking safety in brotherhood. Cyrus was looking down and so was Jase. I looked up at Tara who seemed to be trying to figure it out and then quickly away. I glanced at Carly who was peering over Bella’s head with a shit-ass grin on her face.
“I can’t really discuss it. I had to sign a non-disclosure agreement.”
I was still looking at Carly who laughed and Momma looked toward her.
“Everything alright, Carly?” Momma asked her still with the eyes burning into me.
“Yeah, hey Bella hop down and feel this.” Carly lifted her shirt and took Bella’s hand and held it tight to her stomach.
“Oh, oh, wow, Daddy! It’s, oh there it is again. Feel it, Daddy. Feel it!”
Jase closed his eyes as he knelt before her. Bella lifted her hand and Jase placed his in the same spot. No words had to be spoken when that baby kicked, Jase’s eyes darted up to hers.
“Does it hurt, Baby?”
Carly shook her head no and rubbed his cheek.
He let out a breath he must have been holding since he walked out of the bathroom. Everyone turned to look at him.
“Did you feel my mother’s belly when I was in it?”
“No Bella, I wish I had though.”
“You get to now.”
Carly smiled at the interaction between the two of them.
Jase sat back, his hand still on her belly and finally smiled at Carly. “What’s it feel like?”
“Butterfly kisses.” She smiled and held her hand above his.
“Yeah?”
“Yeah.”
He leaned forward and pulled her shirt up more. He kissed her belly and then fanned his eyelashes against her skin.
“Tell him they’re from me?”
“She already knows.”
“He already knows?”
Carly laughed. “Are we gonna fight about this, too?”
“Aww for crying out loud, the turkey is getting cold. Jase cover up your girl’s boobs would ya before I come over there and give that baby a kiss.” Xavier laughed.
“Hey, little baby, Daddy is gonna kick Uncle Xavier’s ass if he ever says some shit like that again.” Jase kissed her belly again and pulled her shirt down. “Watch it X.”
“Hard not to see those things have grown. How the hell did you not know? Her t…”
“Hey knucklehead, watch the language, there’s a baby in her belly.” Bella snapped at Xavier.
I laughed at her and then thankful for the attention being off of me yelled, “Let’s eat!”
After dinner was finished and dessert was over, we all cleaned up. Xavier was on the couch passed out which is exactly where I would have been had it not been for the surprise guest. I was sobered up now and not feeling as confident as I was before.
Everyone was giving me looks. They all knew something was up even Momma Joe. I avoided her like the plague. She was quietly chatting with Professor Thomas most of the night anyway. Jase was a little less overemotional than before but I understood why he would be scared.
Tara was perched on Cyrus’s lap and Bekah was looking at an album with Bella. Christoff or Chris as Bekah calls him was flipping through the channels to find the late football game. I went and sat next to Bekah and leaned over and sniffed her neck.
“You did that already. I heard you when you walked in.”
“I thought I was imagining things.” I leaned over and looked at the photo album.
Bella was pointing everyone out to her as she flipped through the pages and Bekah was acting very interested.
Bella sat the book on her lap. “Hold this I gotta pee.”
Bekah smiled when she ran off and then sat back. “I’m gonna get going soon.”
“No.” I kissed her cheek. “Stay please.”
“How about you come stay with me?”
“Say that again.” I was hoping I didn’t look as stunned as I was.
“You heard me.” she smiled and looked down.
“So did…”
“I didn’t say I was going to put out.”
I smiled. “Alright, what exactly am I in for?”
“I want you to cuddle the fuck out of me.”
“Ladies don’t say that.” I was checking out her tits and not trying to hide it either.
“Yes or no?”
“Hmm, do me a favor?”
“Ask away.” she smiled.
“I promise to cuddle the fuck out of you if you tell me a secret desire that’s so dirty it turns you on to admit it.”
Her face blushed immediately. “You are a very bad man.”
“Not bad, Bekah, honest with myself. I have enjoyed this evening with you so much that I swear I fell in love with you on a totally different level.”
She smiled. “You can save it, I’m pretty sure you’re gonna get some tonight.”
“How about tomorrow?”
“Depends.” she smiled.
“On what?”
“Your performance.” she winked.
“Seriously it’s only been a week, Kitten. Please tell me my performances are not that forgettable?”
“Will you let me drive?”
“Will you let me fondle you while you drive?”
“Will I be able to stop you?”
“Probably not. Let’s get the fuck out of here.”
Bella hugged and kissed Bekah. “You’ll be back?”
“Of course.” Bekah gave her a kiss on the cheek.
“Don’t keep her away.” Bella hugged me.
“I can’t promise you anything. I may keep her locked up somewhere.”
“You can’t!” She giggled.
“Yeah I know.”
We got in the SUV and I had my hands on her tits in less than two point two seconds.
“God I’ve missed you.”
“Me or my tits?”
“Both Kitten, fuck!”
She started the SUV and Sweater Weather by The Neighbourhood came on. I pulled that sweater back and lifted the cami exposing a black lace bra. I nipped at her very alert nipples.
“Easy Zandor,” she whimpered.
“They’re begging for it, kitten.”
“I need to focus, I’m driving.”
I sat up and hissed and she reached over and rubbed my leg. “Sorry.”
“Higher,” I growled.
“Here.” She giggled as she rubbed the outline of my cock through my pants.
“What do you think?”
“I think I love it.”
“You think you love my cock, Kitten?”
“I’m pretty sure.”
“You’re fucking killing me.”
“Okay fine, I love your cock, Zandor Steel.”
I laughed. “Perfect, it loves you too, Kitten.”
“How long before we…” she stopped stroking me and I looked over as she squeezed her knees together.
“You gonna get off by strokin’ me, kitten? The thought of my cock makes you that fucking hot?”
“Yes, no.” She gripped the steering wheel tighter.
“Which is it, Kitten? Touching my cock?”
“Zandor, don’t.”
I pulled myself free from my pants and reached over and brought her hand to me.
“Oh fuck!”
“In a few minutes. Hang on and don’t let go. Eyes on the road.” She gripped tighter and I groaned. “That’s it, Kitten.”
