A fiend is exactly how I feel. One taste of her pussy and I am a goner. If I am being truthful, I was a goner from the moment I saw her. Fuck, licking her pussy is like it is a signed, sealed and delivered deal. I want to grab her right now and take her upstairs to show her who she belongs to. But, duty to my friend and the reason I am here calls.
Though the BBQ is over, Dex and Carrie set up a bonfire for their immediate friends and family to all hang out, drink beer, and relax. Usually I am up for all of this, but right now it is stopping me from taking my woman and in truth it is pissing me off.
Walking out to the backyard, I am taken aback slightly by how many people are still here. I don’t know any of them except his brothers and sisters. No sooner than I think it, Kitty makes her way to me with El pulling up the rear. I have a new respect for him considering I now know how I feel about Portia after less than 24 hours.
“Perry. It is so good to see you. You are always gone too long, Mr. Big Shot attorney.” Chuckling, I shake my head and give her a hug. She always calls me that and even though I know it is in jest it always stings a little, because she is right. My job does consume me.
“I know you have already met my husband Eldridge.” She says as she smiles at him. My chest constricts a little, because to anyone only half paying attention it is obvious how much they love and live for one another. It seems I am unburdened enough tonight to admit to myself that I want what they have. I want the unbridled passion and type of love you move mountains for, but I want that with Portia. The problem is, my life. Kitty’s voice brings me back.
“And this is our daughter Kierstin.” She says, while snuggling a little cherub in her arms.
“She is beautiful Kitty. She has her mama’s eyes.” Looking at El who is looking at his woman and daughter with such adoration, I say. “Dude. Good luck. This one is going to be a looker.” Then I walk away because there is too much shit in my face I want. I am not sure how to get any of it.
“Perry, my man. I was looking for you.” Dex says with a smirk. I know he thinks it is funny he cockblocked me earlier, but I don’t find the shit the least bit hilarious. Ass.
“Come on and let me introduce you to everyone.” Walking with him around the bonfire circle, I am searching for my girl as we go. I do not see her sitting anywhere around it. She better not be hiding from me, because it will get her ass spanked when I do find her.
“This is my buddy Hamm and his wife Ava. This is my friend Perry from Boston.”
“Perry, nice to meet you.” The guy Hamm says.
“Same to you.” And the introductions continue the same way. I meet Sterling and Kennedy, Max and Rosy, and Penny and Jace. Apparently, there are a shit ton of babies between all of them.
After meeting everyone, I grab a beer and sit on the lawn chair facing the door. To anyone else it would seem normal. Of course, Dex knows exactly why, because he gives me a head nod showing his approval. Looking around I see all of the couples laughing, kissing, and talking. Seeing all the couples and their happiness only makes me want her more.
I don’t know how I am going to do it but somehow, I need to make it work. As crazy as it seems, she has become my future and somehow, I need to make it fit into my present. Before I can finish the thought, she comes out the door and I swear my breath catches. She is ethereal. Standing in front of the doorway and being illuminated by the light gives her the look of the Angel of Mercy.
I am not sure when I leave my chair but somehow, I end up in front of her. My hands go around her neck and I start growling. All the men in the yard have a perfect view of her beauty and though I know it is irrational. They all have their own women, but I cannot help feeling the need to claim her in front of all of them. Wrapping my other hand around her waist, I pull her to me.
“No need to walk any further my Angel. I’m here. Now kiss me.” Not waiting for her to comply I slam my mouth onto hers, while simultaneously walking us backwards back into the house. Pulling away for a second I whisper in her ear, “Its time Angel. Time for you to give me what belongs to me. You ready?” I hold my breath and pray to God she says yes. I’m not sure I can hold off any longer, but if she needs more time, by the hair of my chinny chin I would wait for her or even a lifetime if I had to. Rubbing my thumb across her cheek, as the blush spreads I look in her eyes. She closes them and takes a deep breath before she says,
“Yes Perry. I’m ready. Make me your woman.”
Thank Fuck!!!
