Chapter Nine
Jay put Winter on the bed in his room, while he set up a playpen for Felix with his toys. Running to the bathroom, he pulled out his first aid kit before making his way back to Winter. Her head wound wasn’t deep, thank God, allowing him to clean it before dressing it. Removing all her wet clothes as well, he pulled the thick comforter over her body, rubbing her arms and legs. Felix let out a cry. Hating that he needed to leave her, he went to check on Felix. He seemed hungry. Remembering that Winter packed the high chair, he went to work on fixing his son a snack and drink so he could tend to Winter.
She still hadn’t woken. It had been a good three hours now. If she didn’t wake soon, Jay would ring the doctor in town and ask advice. Her body started to stir before her beautiful green eyes fluttered open and she put her hand to her head.
“My head hurts.”
“Well, that’s normal. Do you feel sick at all?” Doing his best to remember what he learned about concussions when he was in school.
“No. Just some pain.”
“I can give you something for that.” Handing her some water, Jay set two pills in her hand to take. It was a stronger pain reliever, which would probably knock her out for the day. “You rest, and I will take care of our son.” He kissed her head, watching as her eyes fluttered closed again.
Back in the kitchen, he cleaned Felix up before rocking him in his giant recliner for his nap. His son held onto his shirt, snuggling into his neck. It was so comforting, something he wanted to keep doing. This was his happy place. His calm during the crazy winter storm. With the fire crackling and Felix’s soft breathing, his eyes followed his son as they both slept.
Jay jumped awake when someone touched his arm.
“Hey, let me take him.” Winter was standing, wearing his shirt, looking sexy as hell. Damn if his cock didn’t strain against his pants just them. It didn’t help either that Felix stretched, kicking his throbbing member.
“You should be sleeping.” He rubbed his son’s back and let her take him.
“I know, but the headache is gone. Plus, I didn’t want you to have to do all of the daddy’s duties your first day with him.” She smiled when Felix snuggled close to her before she set him in his bed.
“I like having him here. You here as well. Hell, it’s so weird how everything has turned around in such a short time. I was so pissed when I found out you were a Stevens, then Travis was there, his prick ass all up on you. I thought you played me. Then two days ago when I said, well, you know. Damn, I should have kicked my own ass, and would have, too. It’s hard to deny the truth when he is sleeping right in front of you.” Winter climbed on his lap, and he wrapped his arms around her.
“Well, you’ll learn I’m not like my family. I have my own. So as long as you talk to me, we can work this out. Because I hate to say it, Jay, but I’m falling for you. Yes, I know it's soon. But with you, it feels natural, like I’m safe.”
“Home.” He finished her sentence that hung in the air. She was his home, too.
“Yes.” Her voice was a whisper as she planted a soft kiss on his neck. She was hurt, so he let her take the lead. Wrapping his arms around her middle, he carefully lifted her while her legs wrapped around his middle. Shit, she was still naked under his shirt, nothing between them but his clothes and the shirt. Heading to his bedroom, he sat down, with her legs on either side of his. Without hesitation, Winter’s lips touched his, kissing, tasting tenderly before deepening the kiss. She broke apart, only to lift his shirt up and off her body.
“So fucking beautiful.” He palmed her tits, feeling the heaviness while admiring their roundness and small scars that marred her stomach. She looked a little afraid. Releasing her breaths, he ran his thumb along the small lines.
“Felix was a big baby.” She offered a small smile, not looking at him.
“Beautiful. Each one. It's proof you carried my son. Evidence that you’re stronger than anyone I have ever met.” Not wanting her to get caught up in her thoughts, he leaned down, taking a nipple into his mouth, sucking, rolling it with his tongue before biting it, then changing to the other one. Her small moans of pleasure drove him on to wanting to take her hard and fast like a rutting animal, but she needed this. This time to reconnect, to have control. He could do that and would do that for her. Because, despite the fact he hadn’t said it back, he was falling for her, too.
Winter was terrified he would complain about her stretch marks; Felix was a large nine-and-a-half-pound baby, despite her eating everything she was supposed to. He took after Jay, for sure. Jay didn’t complain, though. Instead, he wiped away all fear and doubt. He sucked her breasts; they were beyond sensitive, and sent an electric current right down to her pussy. She needed him, to feel him. His shirt soon joined hers on the floor as she moved on to his belt. Everything was done while kissing, groping, feeling, never completely breaking contact. Jay was giving her free rein, and right now all she wanted to do was feel him. She didn’t need any time to prepare to take him. She was wet, had been since the moment he walked back into their lives. She pushed herself farther back up the bed, making it easier for her to sit on top of him. Not wanting to wait another moment or risk Felix waking, she grasped his cock, pumping it up and down, feeling his hard steel rod weep with his pre-cum. Using that as lubrication, she adjusted herself and ran the tip up and down her sex lips, letting her juices help as she lowered herself onto him. His cock stretched her in the most delicious fashion. In unison, both of them groaned as they connected. Up, down, up, down, she worked on taking him deeper, until he was connected to her balls-deep and her body trembled, begging for release.
Not wanting to break apart, she worked her body, gliding along his cock as it worked its way in and out of her body. His hands on her hips, helping her as she rode him. Sweat dripping down her body onto his, neither one saying anything, lost in the moment of just them. Winter’s body started to tremble as it neared the peak of her orgasm, but she just couldn’t fall over. Jay seemed to pick that up, and his hand slid between their bodies as he strummed her clit, helping light the last fire as she rocked back and forth, crying out his name as she fell forward and her skin sparkled with new life. Jay didn’t seem to finish. Instead, he flipped her over and thrust into her over and over making the same feeling start all over again. How much could one person come before they blacked out? She didn’t know, but Jay seemed to like to push her limits. As he thrust, he rolled his hips, hitting her g-spot and clit.
“Oh, God.” Holding onto his arms, sweat and skin making a sound as the room filled with cried and moans. It wasn’t long before Jay bent down, kissing her deep, thrusting his tongue into her mouth, as he fucked her in earnest now. Holy hell, did she miss this. Her nails dug into him as her legs wrapped around his waist. Her cut her screaming off as he covered her mouth with his once more as he came too, grunting as he held himself deep inside her.
Lost in the endless feeling of safety and happiness, she breathed a second before Jay pulled out of her, rolling, so she lay against his chest.
“Damn, Cookie, you’re going to be the death of me.”
“Nah, I think if anything, you’re going to be the death of me.” However, as she said those words, he turned and looked at her.
“No, you’re the reason I’m alive. You and our son give me a reason to truly live.”
“Right back at cha.” And right on cue, Felix started crying out for mommy.
“I’ll get him.” He kissed her once more before leaving her.
Life has a funny way of changing in a blink of an eye. He may have saved her when the roof collapsed, but she’d saved him from himself. It’s funny how one little storm can blow people together.

One Year Later….
“Cookie, I swear if you don’t hurry up with the shower, Felix is going to eat all your bacon.” Winter smiled as she finished rinsing the soap from her body. It was going to storm again in the next few days, and if that happened, she wanted to get a shower in before they couldn’t.
Walking into the small dining room, she smiled at her son was sitting in his booster seat, eating everything his daddy set in front of him.
“Hi, Mommy. Break-fast time. Daddy cook. It's nummy. Want some?” His cute little hand held up a fork full of eggs.
“That’s okay, little man. Daddy made me a plate.” A year ago, it seemed too weird to be saying Daddy with Felix, but now it was so normal. Her whole life was normal.
After the storm had passed, she found herself still staying with Jay in his cabin. It seemed that even though he picked up shifts at the lumber yard, he made furniture on the side and sold it online. The night he found out about Felix, he started working on a small bed, which had been her favorite piece he made. She even started painting, for real this time. She hadn’t sold much, but the money she did bring in helped stockpile various items for when the weather got bad, and to add onto the cabin. She and Jay had also married in a small ceremony that Aunt Opal flew in for during the spring. She invited her parents, but they ignored it all together. Which was fine by her. She had the family she wanted, and nothing would take it away from her. Jay even went a step further and made sure that Felix had his last name on his birth certificate. So she was no longer Winter Stevens, but Winter Brennon.
A small smile spread across her face, as she knew an extension would be needed, and soon. Part of the reason she wanted to spend more time in the shower.
“So,” Jay looked at her, with a knowing look in his eye. He suspected what she hadn’t earlier. It was only because he said that with Felix out of diapers, he didn’t want to wait too long and tossed her pills. Sexy bastard.
“So.”
“Damn it, Cookie. You know what I want to know.” She stood next to her husband, wrapping her arms around him, kissing him softly on the lips.
“Well, can you make a cradle in eight or nine months?”
A slow smile spread across his face.
“Really?”
“Yup took the test this morning. All three of them. We're gonna have another baby.” His arms wrapped around her middle, hugging her tight before turning her around.
“Hot damn, woman. God, I love you.”
“I love you, too.” Jay set her down and went over to Felix, kneeling down.
“Hey bud, guess what. Mommy is having a baby.”
“A baby. Okay, Daddy. Mommy has a baby; I want a puppy.” Unable to hide her laugh, she busted out of pure happiness. Leave it to her almost three-year-old to wheel and deal with his dad. Life was just as it should be. Storm or no storm, she wouldn’t change a thing.
The End
