“I’m not, I’m on subject and loving where this conversation is headed,” I mumble kissing along her neck.
“No, you’re not, we were talking about… Ahh, Ethan,” she moans, tipping her head back letting me feast on her neck.
“What were we talking about?” I ask, chuckling as she squirms and hums.
“I-I don’t remember,” she breaths, fisting my hair.
“Good, I’m doing my job right then,” I breathe laying her back on the rug, lying beside her I slip my hand under her sweater and tee, humming when my palm connects with smooth warm skin. “Mmm, you’re so warm,” I shuffle closer leaning over her watching her face heat as my hand cups her luscious tit. “Hmm, what do we have here?” I ask kneading her breast, “it’s lucky I didn’t know about this earlier,” I whisper huskily and whip her sweater and tee up to her neck. Groaning in appreciation, I frame her tits with my hands and bury my face in her ample cleavage.
“E-Ethan,” she sighs as her fingers weave through my hair pulling my head closer. I love her tits, they’re so sensitive and they’re overflowing my hands right now. I nip and suck on them enjoying her writhing beneath me, I feel her leg rub up against my cock in my sweatpants and groan. Hungrily I suck one of her mouth-watering nipples into my mouth. “Oh s-shit, E. That feels unbelievable. D-don’t stop p-please,” she breaths arching against me.
“Mmm, no chance sweetheart,” I mumble around her nipple, rolling it between my teeth making her cry out as I tug.
“I-I think I could come i-if you keep doing that,” she stutters and I watch as her eyes flutter shut, the skin on her face tightens as pleasure engulfs her.
“Mmm, I think you need just a little bit more,” I whisper and snake my hand under the waistband of her leggings and panties. I groan in pained pleasure feeling how hot and wet she is for me already. I dive in hungrily sucking on her tits as my fingers slip into her.
“Ahh, yes, right there.” She cries, her hips thrusting into my hand faster taking her pleasure, I fucking love when she’s like this, so ravenous, so needy for me to make her come.
“Come on my fingers sweetheart. Come so I can taste you on my fingers,” I whisper in her ear, I bite my lip trying to hold my own arousal in check as I watch her come apart in my hands.
“Oh fuck, E. Fuck me faster, harder. Yes, right there,” she shouts, as I thumb her clit setting her off. She grasps my hand with one of hers rolling her hips against it riding my hand and her orgasm. She chants my name as her body writhes before me and clenches around my fingers as waves of pleasure crash over her.
I watch her seeing her face and chest flush as she comes, her body taut and shaking. She’s stunning, watching her is definitely something to behold.
“Wow, that was amazing,” she breaths when she opens her eyes.
“Mmm, it certainly was,” I agree and slid my hand from her panties, keeping my eyes on her I suck my fingers into my mouth groaning. “You taste delicious,” I say as I pull my fingers from my mouth.
“Ethan,” she gasps scandalised, blushing prettily.
“You blush now? You just rode my fingers like you were at a rodeo,” I chuckle, feeling my heart fill with love for her.
“Looks like you enjoyed it as much as me,” she says, reaching out and rubbing her hand across my painfully hard cock, hissing I push my dick into her palm.
“I fucking love watching you come, I especially love feeling your pussy clench around me.” I kiss her cheek as she palms me stroking slowly but firmly driving me crazy.
“Mmm, we need to do something about this before the others get back,” she kisses my neck sucking on my earlobe, sending a shiver down my spine connecting with my dick. Sitting up she rights her clothes, “just lie back and hold on baby,” she grins down at me as she pushes me onto my back and lifts my t-shirt.
“I love your body,” she breaths ogling my defined chest and abs, thank God Luke is a hard ass when training and keeping my arms and torso strong.
“I’m glad you like what you see sweetheart,” I grin lifting up onto my elbows, so I see her better.
“Hmm, I don’t just like what I see. I love it, it turns me on just thinking about getting you naked, I can’t wait to ride you for the first time as my husband,” she shivers, pulling my pants down. My cock springs free slapping her on the cheek, she grins taking him in hand.
“Ahh,” I hiss her touch almost too much at this point.
“Aww, this looks painful,” she says rubbing her thumb over my angry red tip.
“It is, I need you.”
“Really?” She looks up at me pleased as she strokes me lightly, too lightly, I need more.
“Yes really, now suck it,” I growl, it comes out harsher than I mean it too and she cocks her eyebrow and stills her hand. “P-please sweetheart, don’t tease. Suck my cock nice and hard,” I gentle my tone and reach down and palm her cheek with my hand.
“Guild me,” she takes my hand and puts it to the back of her head as she swallows half of my shaft in one go. White hot heat flashes through my body as she sucks me off, her head bobbing up and down.
“Oh fuck, shit Amy… I can’t, shit, I’m so close.” I stutter squeezing my eyes closed and fall back boneless against the floor. She hums happily in reply, I feel the vibration all the way up my shaft and gasp. “Fuck that feels so good,” I gasp moaning as I take her head between my hands and move her faster feeling tingles start at the base on my spine. I groan feeling my orgasm taking over, my abs and legs clench.
When her hand cups my balls, I shout in ecstasy my eyes rolling back in my head as I come in her mouth. “Ahh, Amy. Fuck yess, I love you,” I groan as she swallows load after load of my come moaning and wiggling that beautiful ass in the air. When I manage to get my breath back, I lay there with Amy beside me, looking down at my wiped-out form grinning with pride. Grinning she pulls my pants back up and leans over me again.
“I love sucking you off,” she smiles and kisses me slipping her tongue into my mouth, I can taste myself on her tongue, but I push that aside and kiss her harder. I love this woman more than any other on this planet.
Pulling away I hold her close with a hand in her hair. “I love everything about you, I’m the luckiest man on earth to have you.”
“I think we’re both lucky and I think we were made for each other,” she smiles love shining in her beautiful eyes.
“We were, I can’t wait to make you my wife tomorrow,” I whisper feeling my heart burst with happiness.
“I can’t wait either, I can’t believe it’s already Christmas Eve. It’s gone by so fast,” she whispers in awe.
“It’s the eve of forever sweetheart,” I say lying back pulling her head to my chest.
“Mmm, I like that. ‘The eve of forever’ our forever,” she whispers sliding her arms around my waist holding me tightly.
“Yep, you’ll be mine and I yours forever.”
“Forever,” she agrees, squeezing gently.
Chapter Nine
“Can we open our presents now?” Eliza asks as she finishes her dinner, her cheeks are still flushed from playing out in the snow with the other kids while dinner was being prepared.
“Elizabella,” Lily chastises as she feeds Ella another spoonful of baby food, I cringe in sympathy for Ella having to eat that shit.
“You said Santa gave you a few presents early so we could open them today cause daddy is getting married tomorrow.” She reminds her mom looking and sounding way older than she is. Mace and a few others choke back a laugh at Lily’s stunned face.
“You did say that,” Jax says earning a glare from his wife. “But we do have to wait for everyone to finish eating Belly,” he adds nodding then goes back to eating quietly making Mace laugh harder.
“Shut up Mace,” Jax scowls only making Mace worse, I could swear I hear him mutter ‘fuck you asshole’ I laugh when Lily’s head whips around and she smacks her husband in the chest.
“Language Jax, I swear if her first word is anything
that comes from your filthy mouth, I will chop your gonads off.” She nods to Ella who is giggling and waving her arms at her daddy.
“You love my filthy mouth, honey,” he smirks wiggling his eyebrows at her. Lily’s eyes pop out and her mouth falls open.
Everyone at the table bursts out laughing including the kids, thank God Bailey can’t hear everything they’re saying, she looks a little confused but still smiles and shakes her head at their antics.
“He has you there, honey,” Cora pipes up, nodding approvingly. “I can’t say I blame you though,” she adds blowing out a breath, eyeing Jax. I can’t help myself anymore, I laugh so hard, Jax’s face is a picture. “Gotta say you have taste honey,” she raises her glass of wine to her granddaughter. She winks at me discreetly; I nod and smile in return.
“Okay gifts,” Craig stands rubbing his hands together. All the kids scream and jump from their seats chasing after him. Luckily Lily had Ella’s ears covered in time or her poor little ears would be ringing.
We all congregate in the living room around the tree, the kids are handed theirs first we watch as they excitedly rip them open squealing happily. They’re faces bright as they show off their gifts to everyone. Thank God for Mason and his camera skills, because I want every memory captured.
Before long the only gifts left are mine and Amy’s, we hand them out smiling as the kids waste no time tearing theirs open.
“Look mommy, I got makeup,” Eliza squeals shoving her present under her mom’s nose.
“Oh wow, that’s so cool. You’ll have to take care of it,” Lily smiles at her.
“I will mommy, thank you daddy,” she jumps into my lap squeezing my neck tightly.
“You’re welcome princess,” I kiss her head hugging her tightly.
“Oh, hell yeah,” Seb yells, holding his iPad in the air like a prize.
“Sebastian!” Lily chastises him scowling.
“Sorry,” he mutters, shrugging not looking remotely sorry, before rushing over to me and throwing himself onto my lap with his sister. “You did it daddy, you got my letter to Santa in time, thank you.” He kisses my cheek and goes to hug and kiss Amy.
Evie sits quietly holding her presents in her lap, her fingers stroking them. “Evie, baby?” I call confused by her reaction; God I hope I didn’t fuck up.
“How did Santa know?” She asks quietly, tears in her eyes.
“Do you not like it honey?” Amy asks scooping her up and into her arms.
“I love it, but I don’t know how Santa knew,” she says, awe on her face.
“I think daddy talked to Santa,” Seb says resting his head on my chest.
“Really?” She asks looking at me as if I hung the moon in the sky, my chest aches and bursts with love. I nod smiling so hard as she squishes onto my lap too and hugs me the best she can. I feel like a fucking superhero right now.
Mason and Niles shake theirs trying to guess what they got while Ava carefully opens hers trying not to rip the paper, I laugh. My weird but wonderful family.
“Go show grandma your gifts,” I say to the kids as I pull out Amy’s gift. Handing it to her, I watch as she opens it slowly, she looks up as me scowling when she sees a jewellers box. “Well, I guess I’m getting a lot of jewellery this year,” she says making the others laugh, everyone stops to watch her open it. I’m nervous as hell, I hope she likes it, I know she doesn’t wear a lot of jewellery, but I hope she likes this one.
“Oh, Ethan,” she gasps her hand to her mouth, she gazes at it for a full two minutes before looking up at me with teary eyes, shoving paper aside she launches herself at me, flinging her arms around my neck as she sobs into my chest.
“Please tell me you don’t hate it,” I whisper into her hair holding her shaking body to mine.
“I l-love it,” she sobs, pulling away she looks at it again wiping her face she pulls the locket from the box. Opening it she cries again looking at every picture her thumb caressing the gold lovingly. “It’s beautiful, thank you,” she whispers handing it to me and turning so I can put it on her.
“Oh wow, that’s beautiful,” my mom gushes looking at it closely, everyone takes a turn appreciating it.
Searching out Bailey, spotting her by the fire already reading the signed copy of her favourite book we got her. Wheeling myself over, I stop beside her and tap her shoulder, grinning as she jumps.
“You like it then?” I ask, smiling down at her.
“I love it, I can’t believe you and mom found it for me, and signed too,” she gushes holding it to her chest.
“I’m glad you like it muffin, but that isn’t your main present,” I laugh at her shocked face.
“It isn’t?”
“No, why don’t you come over to the couch with me?” I ask holding out my hand to her, taking it, she stands and following me over. Everyone is watching us, their presents forgotten.
Shifting out of my chair, I sit in the chair I was in earlier, it’s also where I hid my special surprises.
“Come here muffin,” I say opening my arms to her, when she sits on my lap she cuddles into my chest and I feel love wash over me for this beautiful little girl who has become another daughter to me, I hear a few aww’s, probably from my mom and Lily, I smile.
“I wanted this Christmas to be extra special, not only because I’m marrying your mom,” I say pulling out the papers from behind the cushion and hand them to her. Amy squats in front of her looking from me to the papers confused.
“I don’t understand,” Bailey says confused looking at the legal documents in her hands.
“I was hoping that you’d want to share in a name change for Christmas too,” I say feeling my heart racing with anxiety and excitement. She looks even more confused now, but there is understanding in Amy’s eyes as well as tears.
“Well, I was hoping you’d want to be a Barker too?” I ask quietly, wishing I’d done this in private now.
“I-I thought I was,” she stutters looking at me like I’d crushed her. Shit.
“You are, but I mean for real. I want to adopt you muffin. I want to be your dad for real,” I clarify stroking her cheek.
Amy is crying into her hands beside us, but I keep my eyes on Bailey as she processes what I said, when she smiles it’s blinding, she throws her arms around me. I feel her tears on my shoulder, I feel my heart constrict in my chest as I wind my arms tightly around my little girl.
“Is that okay?” I whisper into her ear, my heart in my mouth.
“Y-yes, I love you daddy,” she sobs into my neck breaking my heart with her tears.
“Thank God,” I sigh, kissing her head feeling my own eyes sting with tears. “I love you so much, Bailey Barker,” I say my voice hitching as I squeeze her name out. “Here is your real gift,” I hand her a small box, wiping her face she pulls the bow and opens the box. Nestled inside is a necklace with ‘Daughter’ on the front. “Turn it over,” I whisper.
When she does, she clutches it to her chest and cries into my chest again, I had it engraved on the back.
‘Bailey, Merry Christmas muffin, I love you, from Daddy. ‘
Looking up, I see everyone crying or wiping tears away and smile the biggest happiest smile. Amy sniffs and kneels beside us resting her head on Bailey’s shoulder.
“It’s beautiful, thank you daddy,” she whispers bringing tears to my eyes.
“This calls for a toast,” Craig shouts, letting go of my mom who was crying into his shoulder. I nod smiling at him, thanking him for his help. Smiling he winks and nods before leaving to get the drinks, when everyone has a glass, mom stands and holds out her glass.
“To family, to love and to all my grandbabies,” she smiles at everyone and blows Bailey a kiss. Everyone echoes her toast and drinks.
“Well, I don’t know if you just knocked my gift out of the park,” Amy says sighing heavily.
“I’ll love it,” I assure her and smile as she pulls a bag from behind the couch. Bailey goes over to her grandma hugging her tightly.<
br />
“Okay, Mason you’ll want to keep your camera up,” Amy tells him and hands me the bag standing back so everyone can see.
I eye her warily and reach into the bag, I feel another bag and pull it out I hid it behind the bag so I can look first. I look at it confused then up at Amy; I feel my heart jump in my chest as all the dots connect in my head.
“There’s more,” she nods at the bag smirking at my stunned expression.
“What is it, daddy?” Eliza shouts but I barely hear her, I have tunnel vision, all I see is Amy. Reaching in again I pull out a piece of clothing and hold it up reading what it says,
‘Baby Barker #5’
“Is that a…” I hear whispers around me, I can’t see anything other than the pregnancy test and baby-grow in my lap.
Looking up at Amy, I feel my eyes water I feel like I’m seeing her for the first time. “Are you sure?” I ask hoarsely.
“We need to see the doctor when we get back to confirm but yeah,” she nods tears shining in her eyes.
“Holy shit,” I breathe looking back at the test. “HOLY SHIT, WE’RE HAVING A BABY,” I yell and pull Amy onto my lap and kiss her breathless.
Everyone is talking around us, the kids are yelling and laughing. When I pull away, I look into Amy’s eyes, I hope she can see how much I love her. I keep one hand on her cheek holding her close and place the other over her still flat belly. My heart is so full of love right now it’s overflowing.
“Our baby is growing in there; I can’t believe it.”
“I know.” She places her hand over mine, her eyes full of love.
“The eve of forever,” I whisper against her lips.
Holy crap, I breathe deeply trying to quell my nerves. I look at myself in the mirror and straighten my collar. I run through the list of things I need to remember, patting my pocket feeling my ring box and mentally check that off the list.
“You okay?” Niles asks watching me from the doorway, he looks good in his suit. His hair is messily finger combed back.
