I continue my kisses up her thighs, stopping to kiss each side. I kiss again just an inch from where my tongue wants to be, causing her legs to squeeze my head. I smile because I know she is ready. I’m ready.
I grab her panties and pull them off of her. I can see Kerrigan shaved a perfect landing strip tonight. Again, my dick twitches. Finally, where I want to be, I slip a finger inside her, pull it out, and stick it into my mouth. I love the way she tastes. I can never get enough. I lower my head and part her thighs as I start to lick. Her taste makes my head buzz and my tongue gets lost in my wife. After a few moments, I hear her moan out that she’s about to cum. Well she thinks she is anyway.
I stop because I need to feel her pussy convulse around me. I want our first time cumming as husband and wife being done together.
“Maddox,” she whimpers again.
“Sorry, babe. Don’t worry. I’m about to make love to my wife. All night.”
Kerrigan
Maddox is so good at what he does. I had to close my legs because I could feel the wetness just at his words. His touch nearly sends me over the edge.
He continues kissing up my stomach, and then sits me up as he removes the nighty and bra. He sucks on each of my breasts. I admit it’s a little embarrassing because I’m certain he’s getting some breast milk as he sucks on my nipples. I don’t know why it makes me uncomfortable. It just does. I try to back out.
“Don’t, babe,” he says, pulling me back in. Thankfully, though, he doesn’t stay long and heads up to my neck. He wraps his arm around me and lays me back down. I look in his eyes as he enters me. I see the relief and the want in them. With each thrust, his dick scoots me up the bed. It’s deep and it fills every inch of me. He hikes one of my legs on his back and slowly keeps thrusting. It feels incredible. I continue looking into his eyes. They are so dark right now. Beautiful. He leans down to kiss me.
“I love you, Kerrigan,” he says and picks up his momentum. I wrap both of my legs around his back and enjoy every stroke inside me. I’m really about to cum this time.
“Maddox, don’t stop. Please.” He better not even be thinking of stopping again.
“Cum with me, babe.” He says and his speed increases. It doesn’t take me long to let go. Maddox joins me. He stills and the look in his beautiful eyes makes me feel like the luckiest girl on the planet.
This is the kind of sex I get to have for the rest of my life.
Chapter 27
Kerrigan
We’ve been back in Chicago for a few weeks now. Or, should I say, Maddox and I have been back in our bedroom in Chicago. My stomach has butterflies just thinking about the things we’ve done in the bedroom, the bathroom, and even a couple times in the kitchen. Yesterday, when I was doing laundry, I didn't realize he was home. He quietly walked up behind me and without a word, dropped my shorts, bent me over, and drilled me. Just the thought makes me want to cum. No one makes a girl feel loved and desired the way Maddox does.
Tonight, Maddox and I are taking Eli to Molly and Noah’s. We are having a date night. Is it bad that we got married before we have our actual first date?
I’m wearing the sexy red lace corset under my clothes because I know the night will end with amazing sex.
Maddox
Today was a rough day at work. I love my job, but I hate people. We got a call from DCFS asking us for an escort in the removal of a two-year-old boy from his home. I’ve been on these calls far too often, but today really struck a chord with me because he looked so much like Lane with a head full of dark black hair and eyes that see through you. The mother was so strung out she was unaware of what was going on. The father was also strung out and violent, waving a gun and threatening his son. I’ll admit, when the little boy was trying to find a place to hide, it killed me. Even at such a young age, he was able to recognize the danger he was in. He hid because he was scared. He is the same age I was when my mom left. It made me wonder how scared I might have been that night.
Fortunately, I have something to look forward to at the end of the day. Kerrigan and I are going on a date. Let’s face it; any alone time with my wife is a good day. Don’t get me wrong, I love Eli, but I can’t count the number of times Kerrigan and I have been interrupted during sex. It doesn’t help that he is a light sleeper. I’m considering moving to a larger place just so he can have his own room. Daddy needs his uninterrupted time with Mommy. Oh man, this kid’s going to have a different kind of abandonment issues.
The weight of the day is lifted when I get home and see Kerrigan nursing Eli in the rocker. My brothers and I might have had shit parents, but our children won’t. Kerrigan and Molly are great mothers.
“Hey, babe,” Kerrigan greets me and looks up.
“Hey, wife,” I say, as I walk over to kiss her. I rub Eli’s Buddha belly, and I let out a little sigh. I love this sight even more today, though I hate that there are children who don’t have this.
“What’s wrong?” Kerrigan asks.
“Bad day at work.”
“You want to talk about it?” she asks.
“Nah,” I reply, “I’m going to take a shower. Do you need help packing Eli’s overnight bag for Molly and Noah’s?”
“No, I packed it already. Maddox you need to talk to me.”
“It’s nothing. It was just shit I saw and wish I hadn’t. Trust me, you don’t want these thoughts in your head,” I say, as I head straight to the shower.
Later on, we drop Eli off at my brother’s place, and then Kerrigan and I head for the boardwalk at Lake Michigan.
“Maddox, you’ve been quiet all evening. Please, talk to me.”
I pull her into my side and just keep walking without saying a word.
“Maddox, talk to me,” she demands.
“I was an escort in a child protective service case today. The little boy was just two years old. I’m used to these types of cases but the boy reminded me of Lane. It also made me wonder if I woke up scared and alone the night my mom left me.”
Kerrigan
Hearing Maddox’s story puts me more at ease about having a hysterectomy. I am completely fine with just having Eli, but hearing this story and knowing the type of parents Maddox and I had, I know in my heart that this boy belongs to us. We haven’t talked about more kids because I thought it was pointless. I hope Maddox is on the same page.
“Maddox?” I say with a smile.
“Yeah?” He looks at me.
“Can we be his parents?” I ask.
“What?” he asked.
“I believe that you and I have the past we do, so that we can be parents to children who have been through similar things that we have. We can relate to him, help him, and give him a home we’ve always wanted.”
“Kerrigan, I don’t know. We don’t have the space. Donna just offered you a job. Eli barely lets you sleep. It’s a lot to take on.”
Okay, I admit, I have to step back and really think about this. How can we make this work? We haven’t started looking at houses, but we’ve been talking about it. Donna offered me a job as her assistant, and it’s the job I’ve always wanted. The pay is great. Maddox is right, though. Eli still wakes up all hours of the night, but I think we can do this. Parents work all the time, and other people have gotten through tougher situations. I don’t know this boy, but I want him. My heart starts beating out of my chest.
“Maddox, we will look for a bigger apartment starting tomorrow until we find our dream home. We can get daycare or a nanny, if needed. Eli won’t always be waking up in the middle of the night. He will grow out of it. Please, Maddox, I want him.”
Maddox
What in the hell is happening? I thought today was just another bad day at work. I didn’t think my wife would be pleading with me to take on a toddler.
“Kerrigan, I don’t think it’s a good idea. Sorry hon’, it’s just not good timing.” It’s not. We just got married. We want to buy a house and we are finally enjoying day-to-day life as a family.
“Maddox, listen to me. I want him. What if he goes to a home worse than the one he was removed from? We can do it, Maddox. Please, I want him.”
I look at Kerrigan and I see the look of a loving mother fighting for her child. Shit.
“Let me call Natasha. She was the DCFS worker on the case.” I am silently praying he went to a perfect loving home.
Kerrigan throws herself into my arms. “Thank you, Maddox. Thank you!” she says all giddy.
I’m totally screwed here. Kerrigan is going to get her way. I can’t say no to her.
I call Natasha and was informed that he was taken to an emergency placement home. That means he could be moved again and again. It could take years to find him a forever home. It makes my decision even easier for me. Natasha said she could do emergency placement with us and do trainings. She also said that the parents would more than likely sign over custody because they want law enforcement out of their lives. If they don’t, it could be a lengthy, two-year process. She also mentioned of the possibility that the parents will get the help they need, and the child will be returned. We set up a meeting with Natasha tomorrow morning to do an initial training. Shit. In a couple of days, I’m going to be a father of two.
On our drive home, Kerrigan is going on and on about all the things we need to buy. Yes, it looks like it’s happening. When we get home, I will need a drink. I’m nervous. I know I’m a good father to Eli, but will I be to this little boy? Will I love him the same way I love Eli? I don’t think that’s possible. I sit and think about it for a while. I think about Brayden and how he loves Cade. Brayden has accepted Cade as his own. I can do this. I will do this. It’s what Kerrigan wants. Besides, the thought of Eli having a brother like I did makes me happy. I am so deep in my thoughts that I didn’t notice Kerrigan is standing between my legs.
I look up, and holy hell Batman, I see a sexy red corset wrapped around my wife’s beautiful body. It’s like a gift, waiting to be opened.
“I just wanted to show my husband how thankful I am.” She smiles.
“If you wear nothing but this for the rest of my life, I’ll get you a million kids.” It’s true. Shit. I’d give her whatever she wanted.
Kerrigan laughs. “Alright. The girls and I are having a girl’s night out at Hansons tomorrow night. Can I wear this?” she teases, and it makes me crazy.
I growl and stand up with force and pick her up. “Only me Kerrigan. Only I get to see this. Forever.” I start kissing her neck. I decide to mark it because she just reminded me she’ll be out with the girls tomorrow night. No fuckface will come near her.
Chapter 28
Kerrigan
Maddox, Eli, and I are in the DCFS waiting room. I’m so nervous since it’s the first time I'm meeting Gavin. Over the past couple of weeks, we'd hit a couple of snags with the background checks, training, and finding a place big enough. It took longer than we'd hope, but none of that matters now that we're sitting here.
Natasha opens the door. Smiling at us, she asks, “You ready?”
Maddox gives me a comforting squeeze and I exhale. “Yes,” I affirm.
Natasha briefly walks out of the room, and when she returns with Gavin, tears of joy begin forming in my eyes. I feel my heart overflowing with love, but as I watch him run to a corner, looking confused and afraid, my heart instantly shatters for him. To make Gavin feel comfortable, I take Eli from the stroller and I rock him briefly in my arms. See, Gavin? Eli feels safe with me, and I hope you will, too.
Slowly, I walk over with Eli towards Gavin. Maddox was right; he does look like Lane. He has dark black hair, with eyes just as dark. He also seems similar to Lane with his calm nature, unlike Landon, who's usually out of control. This little guy just quietly watches us.
I kneel on the floor in front of him and reach out to sweep his hair away from his face. Gavin immediately throws his arms up and cringes back to protect himself. I have to keep the tears from flowing. I pull back my hand and gently greet him. “Hi, Gavin, I’m so happy to finally meet you.” I say it softly and make no sudden movements. He doesn’t reply and just stands there regarding us.
Maddox
Up until this moment, I haven't been sure of how I felt about all of this. A mixture of emotions, but it's more of happiness than anything else.
“Hi, Gavin. My name is Maddox,” I introduce myself.
Natasha had disclosed that he doesn't talk. He hadn’t said a word since he'd been removed from his home. She said that’s typical - it could be due to his age or that he's possibly behind on the learning scale. He didn’t exactly have the type of parents who took care of him, let alone spend enough time with him to learn much. Still, I have no doubt about it; this kid is smart. He’s instinctive.
“This is our son, Eli, and you'll be staying with us,” I inform Gavin. He looks up at me. He still doesn't speak, but the look in his eyes communicates a plea not to hurt him. I kneel on one knee, getting down to his level to assure him. “You’ll be safe with us, I promise.” Again, he doesn’t say a word, but his eyes wander over to Eli.
Natasha asks to meet with me outside. She explains that Gavin's father has been arrested and is facing ten years in prison. He's willing to sign over his parental rights, but a DNA test needs to be done to ensure he’s the father. The mother is in a drug rehab program, so it’s possible for her to get Gavin back if she successfully completes the program. Natasha asks that Kerrigan and I keep everything in perspective, knowing there’s a possibility that Gavin could be returned to his mom or turned over to a family member that agrees to take him in. Even though I've only known Gavin for thirty minutes, the thought of losing him hurts.
Kerrigan
We’ve taken the past couple of weeks to get Gavin settled and get a little routine going. For the first week, he constantly woke up during the night screaming. He was unable to communicate his dreams, but I know they were nightmares. It took Maddox or I an hour or so to get him back to sleep.
Last week wasn’t too bad. There were a few times he woke up, but went back to sleep easily. I found he really enjoys learning and he is most fond of learning through music. In the car, it’s nursery songs, which may have been a little too much for Maddox. He told me he has been tempted to bang his head against the steering wheel on several occasions. I have to laugh.
Another change we had to get used to was switching to a mini-van. Maddox refuses to drive it, so a few days later, he went out to buy a Yukon. Maybe he doesn’t realize it, but it’s not a manly vehicle either.
To complete the transition, we have to move to a bigger place. Fortunately, we were able to find the perfect house. Well, maybe it needs some major renovations, but, at least, we got it for cheap. Brady is coming to look at it and offer his advice on where money will be best spent. When the remodeling work is done, we will officially be suburbanites and living in Oak Park where Brayden is. Or was. He moved in with Missy.
I look around at my friends and think how far we’ve come in just a few short years. Just between Molly and me, there are already six children. Almost six anyway. They found out the twins are boys. So, it’s six boys. That’s six more Stone boys. In fifteen to sixteen years, Chicago isn’t going to know what hit them. At least there won’t be any more babies on either Molly’s part or mine. She told Noah they aren’t going to keep going until they have a girl. She swears she will only end up with ten boys. Of course, Noah told her, in his usual cocky way, “We will see.” I think there was an exchange of words involving a threat of castration.
Today is Evan’s birthday. We are going over to Hanson’s, of course. Ari is watching her nephews. She is so good with them. She teases us, though, that it’s the best form of birth control. She’s young though; she celebrated her twenty-second birthday a week after our wedding.
Gavin tries to be a big help. We encourage him to play, but he keeps constant watch over his younger brother. Yes, Eli. Some kids know what they will be when they grow up. Gavin, no doubt, will be a police officer or join the military. P
rotecting others is in his nature.
Maddox
We’re at Hanson’s. It feels so nice to be out without the children. I love my boys, but they are exhausting, and excellent at cockblocking. I’m getting a little grumpy; it’s been a whole week without being inside Kerrigan. A week. Who the fuck lives like that? I swear, if I have to pull the car over later on the way home just to get a few minutes inside her, that’s what I’m going to do.
The whole gang has two tables pushed together. Noah and I were talking the other night about how surprised we were at the friendships we’ve developed. Brayden is easily a best friend, a brother. The girls have unbreakable bonds, and we are all the luckiest men to be with them. I tried to talk with Evan after the wedding to ask how the dance with Lani was. Kerrigan and I sat back and watched it. We both saw something shift between them. We had hoped it was a good thing, but he won’t talk about her. Either he is fucking her, or he hates her. I’m leaning towards he’s fucking her. Or has.
“Who’s up for a game of darts?” Evan asks.
“I am, but only if Noah is on my team.” I hate getting stuck with Brayden. Let’s just say you’re on the losing team if he is on your team. I assume he never played anything that required accuracy. Now, if we were in a street fight, I’d definitely want him on my team.
“Hey, I want you to know Missy and I threw darts last week and I hit the board three times.” He laughs.
We draw straws to see who gets stuck with Brayden. My luck. Just as I was about to start bitching, I see Lani jump up. She rushes towards me, takes me by the arm, and leads me outside.
“What?” I ask. I know instantly something is wrong.
