We make our way back to the living room. I don’t miss that Beans doesn’t follow. I’m sure the big baby is in bed with his mama. Rebecca spoiled my damn dog. He doesn’t leave her side when she’s home.
Toby is alone when I get to the living room. I sit down with TJ still in my arms. Toby rubs his palms on his jeans and blows out a breath.
“I hope you don’t mind. Kamara and Lulu went to lie down in one of the guest rooms,” he starts.
“Not at all. You know you are always welcome,” I shrug.
TJ shifts in my arms and settles against my chest. I chuckle when I realize he is fast asleep just that quick. Yeah, I’m going to love being an uncle.
“What happened, Toby,” I sigh.
“It’s complicated, Noah. There is still so much I can’t get into. What we told Nellie and Bean was sort of the truth, but this shit is bigger than that. I fell in love with Kamara. I didn’t realize the trouble that would cause,” Toby pauses and blows out another breath.
“If I told you the truth you would think I’m crazy,” Toby sighs.
“Look, I’m too tired for riddles. You’re my brother. Say the word and I’ll make whatever, right. You know this, but you have to say the word. I can’t fix what I don’t understand or know,” I say feeling exhausted and exasperated.
“It’s not my burden alone to share,” Toby says running a frustrated hand through his hair. “I’m trying to protect my family, Noah, but at the same time my hands are tied.”
“Bro, you better get it straight. You know that’s not good enough, Toby. We are your family. Nellie is your family, and right now she is in a hospital bed because she chose protecting your family over protecting her own. Are you really that selfish,” I fume.
“I’m not trying to be selfish, man. God…if you only knew how unselfish I have been. Noah, this is greater than me, greater than my love for Kamara and our children. You know me, you know I would never intentionally put my family in harm’s way. I never meant for anyone to get hurt by this,” Toby pauses in frustration. He stands and starts to pace.
“Fuck, this wasn’t supposed to be like this. I was doing a simple favor for a friend and now I’m so deep in this shit, I can’t see straight. Noah, I think this is going to take more than just us to fix,” Toby licks his lips nervously. “I…I think I can offer something to the Alliance. If Dad or Wyatt can get LaSalle and Brooklyn to listen to me. I think I have a solution for everyone.”
I lift a brow and tilt my head. We all know about the Alliance and what Sam Mairettie is cooking up, but we have stayed out of it for the most part, unless we are needed. For Toby to want to stick himself in the middle of what LaSalle has been plotting for years, raise my hackles.
“Toby, you can’t be serious. What that Alliance has planned will break the weak and test the strong, to no end. What have you gotten yourself into,” I ask in concern.
“It’s the only way. I have something to offer. Noah, that woman in there,” Toby points to the guestroom Kamara is in. “I promised to protect her. What I’m about to tell you changes everything. It changes what you know about her, my kids, me, and my future. It’s not my pride that has kept me silent, Noah. It is something so much greater. I need to do this. I’m tired, Bro.”
“Heavy is the head…,” I hear spoken softly. I look away from Toby to see Kamara standing with a silent sadness to her. She moves to Toby’s side and kisses his cheek.
“Babe, I told you to get some rest,” Toby says as he looks at Kamara lovingly.
“Noah, I will not allow Toby to take blame for my burdens. I will give you the real truth you are seeking. Toby has already given more than I could ask for, hurting and lying to people that mean the most to him. I know what family means to you and your family. I trust that you will understand this all,” she says and takes a seat in Toby’s lap as he tugs her down with him onto the couch.
I nod. “I have nothing but time,” I sigh tiredly. “Let’s have it.”
Let’s just say my baby brother and his girl proceed to blow my mind, within the next two hours. Things are about to get beyond interesting around here. My family is not going to believe this shit, but as promised, now that I know I will make it right. Of all the brothers, Toby picked the right one to come to first.
CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN
My Perfect Wife
Wyatt
A year and six months later…
“Come on, it will be quick,” I plead with my wife.
Nellie gives me the eye and shakes her head. I pinch her ass and lift a brow. The look on my face saying, ‘come on, just a quickie.’ I’m horny and she looks great in the little black dress she chose to wear to do Noah this favor.
We have been married for going on three years. It is amazing how much I still want my wife. I want her more with each day, as I watch her with our little girl. I can’t believe that I almost lost them both. Those four weeks in the hospital were torture. I thought I’d die before Nellie woke up.
Hell, I almost lost Nellie twice. When she was almost framed for Barry’s murder, I thought I would have to burn the world down. I still can’t believe all the shit we’ve been through in the last three years. It only proves how strong our love is and how important family is. Some of us had to learn that the hard way, but we are a family no less. Stronger than ever.
That’s why I want my wife right now. After dealing with Toby’s situation and spending time in New York during the threats to all the families, we decided to hold off on another baby. Talk about back to back drama. We just needed a break to settle back into our lives, but I’m tired of waiting. I want a little boy. Just thinking about getting Nellie pregnant again has me hard.
“Wyatt, you are not messing up my hair and dress. This is important to Noah. I’m not going to ruin it because you can’t keep your hands off me,” Nellie chides me.
I groan and grab her ass, pulling her into my erection. “You would leave me in this pain? Really, Baby,” I lick my lips and watch Nellie’s eyes follow my tongue ring.
“Wyatt,” she whines and I know she is going to cave. “Your mom has Nora. I told her I was just going to the bathroom. I need to get back. Heather and Bean will be here any minute,” Nellie tries, but her protest is weak.
“They are still twenty minutes away according to Heather’s last text. I can be done in ten,” I say and wiggle my brows.
“Since when,” Nellie side glances me and folds her arms over her chest.
“You’re wasting time,” I groan and bunch her dress up over her hips. “You came off your shot last month. I’m feeling really lucky tonight.”
Nellie snorts and gives me a little grin. “Is that what this is about,” she says softly.
I widen my eyes at her. “Well, duh, hell, yeah, I want another baby,” I say as I work her thong to the side and slip my fingers inside her.
Nellie moans and a smile spreads across her lips. “Well, in that case we can go back out there. I was going to wait until after Noah and Bean’s special night, but since you are being a pain, I guess I’ll tell you now,” Nellie smirks and looks up at me through her lashes. “You are going to be a father again, Mr. Black.”
My cock twitches against my slacks. “Are you serious,” I smirk.
“As a heart attack,” Nellie chirps.
I cup her little face in my hands and devour her lips. I fumble with my belt and work to get my cock free. There is no way we are not fucking.
“Wyatt,” Nellie groans against my lips in a feeble protest.
“We’ll make it in time I promise,” I reassure her as I lift her from her feet and wrap her legs around my waist. I slide right home with a deep groan. This tight pussy feels so good. “I love you so much. If I could knock you up all over again, I would.”
Nellie giggles and clings to my neck. “Oh, God, you are so silly, but that feels so good,” she moans. “Your mom is going to kill us,” Nellie whispers. “She said she was going to snip you, if she catches us screwing in her house one more ti
me.”
I snort and grunt. “Then we better not get caught,” I moan as I pick up the pace.
Honestly, having my perfect wife pent to the dresser in my old childhood bedroom is such a fucking turn on. I can’t help myself. Mom has caught us in here more times than I can count. Her threats are empty; she just loves to bust Nellie’s chops.
Me, I just like breaking the rules, and if I can do it while in this tight, wet pussy so be it. I look down at her breasts jiggling in her tight black dress and wonder how I didn’t notice they have already started swelling. This is so worth any trouble we may get in.
I trap my tongue ring between my gritted teeth. I can feel Nellie rippling around my cock. Her eyes roll in her head and I smirk. I put the bars in my cock this morning. I know she is feeling my Jacob’s latter and that shit is going to send her over sooner.
“Wyatt,” she gasps as I bounce her on my shaft a little harder.
“That’s it, ride that cock, Baby,” I moan. “Damn, Nellie, this pussy just keeps getting better. So snug and wet.”
Nellie threads her fingers in my hair and pulls me to her lips. I nip at her bottom lip, then roll my piercing over it. She groans and I feel her tightening around me. This is not going to last much longer for either of us.
“Come with me, Wyatt,” Nellie sobs.
“Fuck yeah,” I groan. “I’m right here with you. Let me have it, Beautiful.”
“I love you, Wy,” Nellie cries out as she comes all over me. I am right with her as I pump my thick, hot seed inside her. This shit just never gets old.
“I love you too, now hurry up,” I chuckle. “Noah is a nervous wreck.”
Nellie swats my shoulder as I let her slide down my body. “Really,” she chides and gives me the evil eye.
I peck her lips. “Come on, I know you’re going to knock ‘em dead. She’ll say yes, just because of you,” I chuckle and kiss the tip of Nellie’s nose.
CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT
This is For Life
Noah
I’m so fucking nervous. I didn’t think I would be this nervous. Bean and I have been together for almost three years; it has only taken me this long to finally propose because we have had so much craziness going on in our lives.
Things have finally slowed down a bit and its time. No, it is way pass time that Bean and I make this official for life. I can’t wait to finally call her, Rebecca Black. I’m ready for a family of my own. I love my nieces and my nephew. I would love nothing more than to have my own little boy or a cute, little, knobby kneed Bean.
I’ve debated for weeks on how I would actually propose to Rebecca. I wanted to do something unique and special. It took me a while to decide that I wanted to do it this way. It also took a lot of preparation. Now, as my stomach rolls, I wish I would have chosen something else.
I’ll never live down having my whole family watch me fuck this up. I never considered Bean laughing in my face or saying no until tonight. Now, it is too late to change the plan. So many people we love and then some are here. Everyone chipped in in some way. I just hope I’m doing this right.
“Uncle Noah, is it time yet,” Lulu runs up with a big smile on her little brown face.
“No Princess, not yet, but soon. You look beautiful in your dress, did I tell you that,” I reply with a big grin.
Lulu’s whole face lights up and she wraps her little body around my leg. It is probably the millionth time today that I’ve told her how pretty she looks, but I love making her smile. She is so shy and reminds me of Bean and Nellie when they were little.
“Yes, you did,” she giggles as she looks up at me. “Thanks, Uncle Noah. You look handsome. Auntie Bean is going to be so happy.”
I have to admit. I am pumped just from Lulu’s excitement. Toby’s twins are smart and observant like their Uncle Ryan. They’re funny too.
“I hope so,” I blow out a breath and run a hand through my hair. I pull my hair up in a tie. It is probably the hundredth time I’ve changed my mind on whether to wear it out or in a bun. Like I said I’m nervous as fuck.
“Relax,” Brax grins at me from his seat on the sofa in my parents living room.
We are all spread out, while we wait. Everyone knows their place and what their job is if they have one. All that’s left now is for Heather to arrive with Bean.
I don’t know how to relax right now. “Easy for you to say,” I grumble and wipe my hands on my slacks.
I look toward the stairs, wondering where Nellie and Wyatt disappeared to. I know my brother wouldn’t fuck this up for me. I need Nellie for this to work like I planned. I called in some big favors for this one.
I look at my cousins and nod nervously. Nolan winks and gives me a nod, Chris twirls a drum stick in the air then points it at me. Yeah, I pulled out the big guns for this. I look at Nolan’s wife, Kitty, as she holds their son beside her, while reading a book with him.
I can just imagine Rebecca reading to our little boy. I press my lips and run a hand over my beard. This is going to be fine. It’s time to move to the next level. We are both ready. We’ve been talking about having a baby lately. Getting married just makes sense.
My phone chirps and I pull it out with my sweaty palm. My heart jumps as I look down to see Heather has texted me, they are up the block. I signal everyone with a loud whistle from my lips and we all start for our positions. I nearly pass out as Wyatt and Nellie rush down the stairs just in time.
I toss Wyatt a finger as I shake my head and make my way to my spot. I’m going to kick his ass when this is done. I hope mom makes good on her threats. Those two are always sneaking off. I have to chuckle when I think about it. Bean and I are the same way. We’re just better at it.
I shake my head and sigh. This is it. Here goes nothing.
~B~
Bean
I’ve had so much fun today. I was totally surprised when Heather showed up at the house this morning, demanding I spend the day with her. I’d planned to lie around the house with Noah all day, hopefully naked, but my time with Heather has been well spent.
We’ve been pampered from head to toe and I couldn’t be more relaxed. Well, scratch that. I was relaxed until Heather stopped at her place and insisted we get dressed up in the outfits she picked.
It’s not the outfits or the fact that we got dressed up that has me a little anxious. It’s Heather. Her ass is a nervous wreck and she is freaking me out. I have no idea what happened between this morning and us getting dressed at her house, but I am ready to snatch her and shake her, she has my nerves so frazzled.
I eye Heather as she sends another text, to God knows who, while we wait for the light to change. I really start to examine her more closely. I press my lips as I stare at her outfit. Heather is really dressed up, now that I think about it. Like really dressed up, as in girly, dressed up.
I don’t know why I hadn’t noticed until now. Heather has on a purple halter dress that’s making her smooth brown skin look like it is glowing. It is a great color on her. Although she still keeps the sides cut really close, she has let the top of her hair grow down to her chin over the last few months.
The sexy black gladiator boots, with high heels, she has on really should have gotten my attention before now. I’ve just been in my own world wondering what Noah will think of my new look. Heather talked me into something new and playful.
I had my dark curls straightened and layered, and because I have officially finished my first comic book, I had my bangs strips ash blonde and dyed the tips blue. I named my female superhero, Blue Sapphire, I thought Noah would think it’s cute, if not funny.
I would never have picked this long sleeve jersey knit, form fitting dress, Heather selected for me tonight. After all, we are going to Noah’s parent’s house. While the dark blue dress complements my hair, it has a plunging V-neckline and the fitted body con style lends to my lean curves a little too perfectly.
I’m not sure if Noah will love it or prefer I change out of it. The black patent lea
ther four inch heels only make the dress all that much more sexy. I’ve been so caught up in Noah’s reaction to me, that I’m just taking stock of Heather. Which leads me to another question, what is this last minute get together? Noah texted me around noon to inform me that everyone would be meeting at the house for a dinner or something.
Cass is not the spontaneous party thrower my Aunt Faith is, so I’m curious to say the least. I was surprised when Noah texted a second time with the dress code. Of course, I let Heather dress me. She loves to play human Barbies. She will dress up anyone that will allow her to.
Heather bites her glossy lip and I narrow my eyes at her. She is acting too strange. We pull into the Black driveway, just as I get ready to call her on her behavior. I’m stopped in my tracks by all the cars around the property.
There are even cars in my mom and dad’s driveway as well as Uncle Rob’s house a few houses down. I frown, but climb out of the car as Heather jumps out herself. I tug at the hem of my dress feeling really self-conscious now.
“Stop that, you look amazing,” Heather chides.
I side eye her and twist my lips. “What’s up with you? And do you know what this is all about? I didn’t know there was going to be so many people here,” I mumble as we walk to the front door.
Heather shrugs. “Nope,” she says then giggles.
I narrow my eyes at her and follow her into the house. Heather steps in first and I follow in after. I smile when the first thing my eyes meet with, are the twins, and Beans all dressed up. Yes, the dog is dressed up too. Beans has a bow tie around his neck and a suit jacket. I burst into laughter and the kids giggle with me.
Lulu steps forward dressed in a little powder blue dress. She looks adorable. “Come on TJ,” she coaches and TJ steps forward, dragging a bag along with him.
Lulu pulls the bag from her brother and hands it to me. “What’s this sweetie,” I coo down at her.
“It’s from Uncle Noah. Open it,” Lulu beams prettily.
I wink at her. “I hope it’s something good,” I tease.
