She was worried about Sergio. He had been gone for four months and she had heard from him twice. During the second phone call he told her it would be his last until he was out of the jungle.
She heard the doorbell and smiled. Melanie had locked herself out again.
When she opened it, a very happy Sergio stood there.
“Sergio!’ Bree screamed and jumped on him.
“Oh God, I missed you.” Sergio held her in his arms, loving the feel of her soft skin, the smell of her hair
“I was so worried,” Bree whispered in his ear.
Sergio palmed her face and looked into her eyes. “You know I’d do anything to come back to you.”
Bree grabbed him and crushed their lips together. She heard a loud moan and she wrapped her legs around his waist sinking her fingers in his hair, Sergio wrapped his arms around her and kissed her back.
“Bedroom,” he moaned.
“Down the hall.” Bree could barely get the words out.
They made it down the hall and hit the bed.
“Make love to me,” Bree whispered.
Sergio wanted to, but he didn’t know if he could. “I’m …”
“It’s okay. We don’t have to.” She was familiar with Sergio’s struggle at the hands of a child porn ring before Marco and Antonio rescued and adopted him.
Bree palmed his face pulling him down. “Sergio.”
“I love you, Bree.”
Bree’s breath caught. “I love you, too.”
Things became increasingly heated as love and lust pushed them. After making love, Bree kissed him lightly. She wanted to cry because this step had been an enormous break-through for Sergio, for overcoming his issues.
Sergio kissed her back and then it hit him.
“Oh, God, I wasn’t using anything!”
“I’m on the pill and I was a virgin – you guys are tested every six months, right?”
“Yeah. I’ve always been negative.” He paused. “That must have sucked. I lasted like, what? A minute?”
Bree smiled. “It was more than a minute, trust me.”
Viktoriya sat on the bed with Phoebe and laughed. She was eating like she hadn’t eaten in weeks. The guys were in the living room watching sports, she wasn’t sure which one, she could just hear them yelling. She had finally been able to get some alone time with Phoebe. It felt as if they hadn’t talked in weeks.
“You are feeling better, obviously.” Viktoriya watched her shovel olives in her mouth.
“These are so good!” Phoebe mumbled with her mouth full. “Everything is so good.”
Vikki smiled. “How’s the baby?”
“We have an ultrasound appointment tomorrow. Stefan is so excited.” Phoebe smiled. “So, is Jordan going to propose to you?”
“I think so. He was talking to my dad for a very long time the other night. And thanks for getting pregnant. Now he’s talking about having a baby.”
Phoebe laughed. “Do you want one?”
Viktoriya leaned over. “Don’t tell him this, but yes, I would love to have his baby.”
“He’s so in love with you, Vikki. You guys were apart for so long and still managed to come together; your love endured everything.”
“So did you and Stefan. Obviously, you were meant to be.” Vikki took her hand.
Nico smiled as he watched Stefan. He couldn’t keep his eyes open. He waved a beer under his nose and Stefan jerked awake.
“What?” He jumped up and reached for his keys.
“Stefan go to bed. I’ll take the guys to my house,” Nico offered.
Jensen was watching the game as he was walking toward the door.
“Come on, guys. If we head out on the commercial, we won’t miss anything.”
Nico smiled and reached for Tanner’s hand.
“We’ll see you tomorrow for the appointment, big brother.”
Jordan grabbed his jacket. “Vikki, we’re headed to Nico and Tanner’s.”
“Coming!” Vikki hugged Phoebe and kissed her cheek. “I’ll see you tomorrow, prego.”
“That’s a spaghetti sauce.” Phoebe arched her brow.
“Yeah well, you look like the bottle now.” Vikki laughed and ran as Phoebe threw her pillow at her.
Stefan said goodnight to everyone and watched as they jogged down the block to Nico’s house. He shut the door, looked around, turned the lights off, and headed into the bedroom. Phoebe was on her back, wearing headphones on her stomach, eyes closed.
Stefan laughed to himself and got onto the bed, facing her. Impossibly, she seemed more lovely than ever. He caressed her cheek and leaned over to kiss her.
“Classical?” He picked up the headphones and listened. “The alphabet?” he laughed.
“It’s never too early.” Phoebe smiled, pulling him in for a kiss. “You look tired.”
“I’m okay.” Stefan sighed as Phoebe continued to drop soft kisses on his mouth.
“You’re tired.”
“How are you? You guys need anything?” Stefan stroked her stomach.
“Stefan, please relax. We are fine.”
Stefan kissed her stomach softly. His baby was in there. He felt Phoebe’s fingers in his hair and raised his head to kiss her. “I love you.”
“I love you, Stefan.”
She felt Stefan on top of her, and her legs spread out, letting him fall between them. His mouth explored hers as his hands explored her body. His hands were at her hip and her underwear came down. Her breath hitched as Stefan slipped a finger inside her, his other hand busy kneading her breast.
“I want to make love to you.” Stefan kissed her.
“I want that.”
Phoebe arched her hips as Stefan removed his fingers, he slipped in slowly, watching her face for any sign of pain and then he was fully inside. Phoebe gasped and her eyes flew open, looking into Stefan’s brown ones. They moved slowly together and she wrapped her hands in his hair as he kissed her. It had been months since the first time and Stefan was finding it hard to hold back, every thrust came with a small moan and Phoebe’s legs wrapped around him pulling him in further and faster
The kiss was becoming more urgent, and the faster he moved. Phoebe was breathing hard as they kissed and she wouldn’t let go. Her hips moved with him and they were rocking together. Every thrust had him moaning; he wanted to let go but he waited for her. She came and Stefan finally let go and tried to keep his weight off of her as his orgasm hit.
Phoebe held him close to her and kissed his forehead, she felt Stefan’s lips at her neck and sighed, loving the feel of his light kisses.
“Stefan?” Phoebe whispered.
“Yes?”
“Thank you, for forgiving me. I hurt you so many times and I was stupid.” Phoebe felt the tears coming.
“Hey.” Stefan wiped the tear coming out and smiled, he guessed this was the hormonal side coming out. “I loved you then and I love you now and I will always love you. I will never love anyone else.”
“I love you, Stefan; I never stopped.”
Stefan pulled out slowly and pulled her into his chest; he ran his hand through her hair and heard her sniffling.
“You okay?”
“Yeah, I guess I’m a hormonal mess.”
“I’ll deal with it.” Stefan kissed her forehead.
“Just remember when I’m screaming at you during delivery, I really do love you.” Phoebe smiled and looked up at him.
Stefan leaned down and kissed her softly. “I’ll try.”
It was midnight by the time Nico finally got into bed. He had cleaned up with the help of the other guys and made sure everything was off. Tanner was in bed, one leg out of the covers and the sheet barely covering him. Nico smiled and pulled the sheet back. Tanner was naked as the day he was born and Nico happily smoothed his hand over his delicious ass.
“Hey.” Tanner smiled as he looked over his shoulder.
Nico leaned over, placing a soft kiss on Tanner’s ass cheek.
“I a
lways wanted to do that,” Nico chuckled.
“Really?” Tanner rolled over and looked at him. “Anything else?”
Nico tickled his fingers over Tanner’s stomach and then leaned over and kissed his belly button as his hand slid down his thigh.
Tanner spread his legs further so Nico could settle between them. Their erections rubbed together and Tanner groaned as a finger entered him. Then Nico was kissing him, the kind of kisses that left him breathless and still wanting more. He arched his back as the finger probed deeper and began a gentle stroke.
Tanner was moaning and thrashing on the bed as he kissed and fingered him. Tanner almost flew off the bed as he orgasmed, shooting a rope of cum all over his chest and stomach.
Nico dragged his fingers through it and then sucked them clean one by one. Tanner’s eyes widened. The next thing Nico knew, he was thrown on his back and Tanner was all over him. He gasped as Tanner’s mouth enveloped him and a finger slid up his ass. Tanner’s mouth felt insanely good on his dick, and the fingers inside him were probably going to give him a coronary.
Tanner loved the noises Nico made. If they got louder, he did whatever he was doing again. He swirled his tongue up and around, sucking sweetly as his tongue twirled around and his finger pushed in deeper. Nico came loudly, hanging onto the bedframe. Tanner grabbed the lube and covered his dick, watching Nico as he tried to catch his breath.
“I love you,” Tanner rasped. “I want to make love to you.”
Nico pulled him down and kissed him hard. He wanted this. He wanted Tanner. He took Tanner’s dick and positioned it at his opening and waited for the burn he knew was coming. Tanner slipped the head of his cock in and then pulled back out, testing Nico’s tolerance. He applied more lube and pushed two fingers inside. Nico groaned and spread his legs further.
“Okay?” Tanner whispered, pushing the fingers further.
“God, yes. Just want your dick! Please!.”
Tanner grabbed his dick and slid the head in; he loved this, being in control over Nico. Most of his life, Nico had called the shots. Tanner moved in more deeply, loving Nico’s tight, hot ass clamp down on him. Nico fisted the sheets.
“Oh, fuck!” Tanner said breathily. “So fucking tight!” He closed his eyes and tried not to come. “Jack yourself off, Nico!”
Nico fisted his cock and stroked as Tanner pushed all the way inside. Their balls touched and Nico was pretty sure Tanner’s dick was in his lungs. Tanner withdrew, feeling every ridge in Nico’s channel. He thrust in again and his hips met with Nico’s ass. He kept his thrusts slow and shallow, angling his hips and rotating them on every other thrust.
Feeling Tanner inside him was better than Nico thought it would be. He felt the burn and then a pinch but then it was gone, leaving only pleasure. He stroked himself faster as Tanner increased his rhythm. His legs were on Tanner’s shoulders and Tanner was hanging onto his thighs as he thrust.
“Fuck! Nico, going to come!”
Tanner’s voice was husky and it turned Nico on beyond belief. He grabbed his cock tighter, stroking faster as he begged, “Fuck me, Tanner!”
Tanner lost it. He came hard in Nico’s ass and his noise brought on Nico’s orgasm. He shot cum all over himself, heaving in breaths as he experienced the most mind-blowing orgasm of his life.
Looking into Tanner’s eyes, he whispered, “I’m going to marry you.”
“You’d better.”
Tanner woke up with an arm flung across his mid-section and smiled at the possessiveness.
“Morning.” Nico rolled to face him and caressed Tanner’s cheek.
“Morning? It feels like noon.” Tanner smiled and traced a finger down Nico’s defined chest. “How do you feel?”
“Like you shoved something up my ass.” Nico pulled Tanner on top of him and spread his legs. “We have to be somewhere today.”
Tanner pouted and scooted his hand down Nico’s thigh. “I don’t want to go anywhere. Can’t we just stay in bed and maybe you can ravish me?”
“Can I get a rain check? I can’t feel my legs.” Nico chuckled at Tanner’s pout. “Trust me when I say I want to make love to you. Are you sure that was your first time?”
Tanner put on his best shocked face. “Nico! You dare presume I have ever traded bodily fluids with anyone but you?” He shook his head. “I’m disappointed in you.”
Nico rolled them over and attacked Tanner’s mouth, diving in and licking the inside of his mouth thoroughly. “I would never presume. I really want to watch the porn you’ve been watching, though.”
Tanner smiled and flipped the TV on. “What time is it?”
“You left porn in the VCR?”
“DVD, get with the times old man.” Tanner pinched Nico’s ass and laughed when Nico bit his chin.
Sergio woke up and instinctively moved against the warm, naked body next to him. He opened his eyes and hugged Bree. They had made love last night and although it seemed to have lasted a mere five seconds, it had been enough. He had finally broken down a psychological wall and he had her to thank for it. He looked into her peaceful face and felt something he had never felt for any woman.
Love.
“Hi.” Bree stretched and smiled at him.
Sergio kissed her good morning. “How are you feeling this morning?”
Bree moved and winced. “Better, but not by much.”
“I’m sorry.” Sergio kissed her and pulled her in closer.
“It’s okay. It was very worth it.” Bree wrapped her arms around him and he hugged her again.
“Are you hungry?”
“I am, actually.”
They went to the kitchen and Melanie stopped eating, her fork halfway to her mouth.
“Morning,” Bree casually tossed over her shoulder.
Melanie laughed. “Well, well. I won’t ask what you two did last night; your face just gave it away.”
“Did Luka call?” Sergio cleared his throat.
“Yes, he’ll be here in a few hours.”
“In that case, I’ll take Bree to my house.”
“You have a house?” Bree looked at him, startled.
“Yep, right down the street from Colin’s.” Sergio poured her a cup of coffee and held her chair for her.
Melanie watched him go to work at the stove. He had obviously taken some cooking lessons. He whipped up an omelet like an expert. She grinned at Bree, who was watching him with a complete look of love.
“Phoebe’s appointment is today. You guys going?”
“Oh, yeah! I want to see what Stefan’s in for,” Sergio chuckled.
After he whipped up breakfast, he excused himself to make some phone calls.
“So, you guys…” Melanie trailed off.
“Yes.” Bree couldn’t stop her smile.
“Did it hurt?”
“Oh, God, yes!” Bree sighed and looked at Melanie’s wary face. “It might be different for you; no one is the same.”
“Yeah, I’ve seen Luka. I’m going to cry.” Melanie giggled.
Bree cracked up. “Well you heard Sergio; you get the whole house to yourself tonight.”
Melanie hadn’t been able to talk Luka into making love to her yet, but he had been gone for four months and she hadn’t even looked at another man. She was falling in love with him and she wanted to be with him.
“God, I missed him.”
“Even though we are apart for months at a time, I wouldn’t trade it for the world,” Bree remarked, thinking of Sergio.
Melanie smiled. “You’re in love.”
“Yes, I am.”
Sergio paused in the hallway, unable to hold back the huge smile on his face. He had heard some of it. He wasn’t trying to eavesdrop but when two women are discussing their first times you don’t want to walk into the middle of it. He leaned against the wall and closed his eyes.
Bree came around the corner. “Listening?” She tickled his stomach. “You’re slow, you should have heard me coming.”
“I did.�
�� Sergio grabbed her and kissed her hard.
chapter thirteen
Stefan and Phoebe arrived at the hospital and saw everyone in the waiting room, cracking Stefan up. “I thought I was excited.”
“You’re going to try to find out the sex, right?” Paul looked at them.
“Dad, it’s too soon for that.” Phoebe smiled and hugged him, she looked at her other dad, who looked like he was going to cry. “Daddy.”
“I’m okay.” Mark smiled. “Just excited.”
Phoebe smiled wide. “You made it!”
Her surrogate, Amber, smiled and hugged her. She had a special place in her heart for Phoebe, Conner, and Landon. She smiled as she looked at the three of them. “Look at you guys, so grown up.” Amber began to sniffle and then cry.
Landon hugged her and smiled. “We’re so glad you’re here.”
“Sorry, I’m late,” Anna Santorno called out, coming around the corner.
“Anna!” Phoebe hugged her hard. “You ready to check me out?”
“Yep. I want to see what’s cookin’ in your oven.” Anna laughed.
Marco hugged his daughter. “I am glad you decided to come.”
Anna hugged him back and kissed his cheek. “Well, when Phoebe asked me to be her doctor, I couldn’t refuse.” Her eyes fell on Amber and she gave her a smile. Amber was beautiful. “Hello.”
“Hello.”
“You were the surrogate for these trouble-makers?” Anna laughed as she looked her over.
Amber blushed at the intense gaze. “Yes.”
Antonio smiled, watching his daughter eye Amber like a meal.
“Okay, let us see how Stefan and Phoebe’s baby is doing.”
“Yes, let’s do that.” Caleb rubbed his hands together, part nerves, part excitement.
Anna laughed at the number of people in the room. She adjusted Phoebe’s gown, making sure her lower regions were covered.
She placed the gel-covered transducer on Phoebe’s body.
“That’s cold!” Phoebe laughed.
“Oops, should have warned you. I thought they had one warming.” Anna checked the screen. “Aww look, the baby is sucking its thumb.”
