“Yes, please, and a glass of punch?”
“Sure thing.” He leaned down and kissed me before saying, “I’ll be right back.”
When he walked away, Landry leaned over to me and asked, “How ya making it?”
“Good. Really good.” I looked around the room, watching as everyone ate and talked amongst themselves. “I still can’t believe you guys did all this.”
“I know it’s a lot to take in, but this is just one of the many advantages of having such a great family,” Landry replied. “We’re there for each other. Celebrate the good times and support one another during the bad. It’s hard to really understand until moments like these when you can experience it for yourself.”
She was right. I hadn’t fully understood what Clay and Beckett had been trying to tell me until that very moment. Seeing how they took care of their own and treated one another like family gave me a sense of peace I hadn’t expected. I was glad that these men were going to be in our lives and that they would be there to share in the ups and downs of raising our son. I looked back over to Landry as I said, “I think I’m finally starting to get it.”
“I knew you would.” She gave me a wink as she said, “Welcome to the Fury family, sis.”
EPILOGUE
Six Months Later
I was standing in the living room, gathering up everything we’d need to take with us to the church, when Alyssa walked into the room wearing a knee-length, black dress that hugged all her curves in just the right places. She looked absolutely incredible, making it impossible to keep me focus on the task at hand. When she started back towards the bedroom, I followed behind her, quickly locking the door behind us. I went over to the dresser where she was putting on her earrings, and slipping my arms around her, pulling her close as I started to kiss along the curves of her neck.
“Beckett!” Alyssa fussed. “What are you doing?”
“I’m kissing you.”
“Ummm, I see that.” She turned around to face me as she said, “I’ve got to get ready.”
“You still have plenty of time to get ready, babe. This won’t take long.”
“You’re incorrigible.”
“What can I say? I just can’t help myself.” I put one of my hands behind her neck as I pressed my mouth against hers. Her lips parted in surprise as I backed her up against the bedroom wall. I ran my tongue across her open lips before delving deep into her mouth. The kiss was urgent, full of need and uncontrollable want, and all her little whimpers and moans spurred me on even more. She gasped into my mouth when my hands grabbed her ass, pulling her hips closer to mine. A light hiss slipped through her lips when she felt my throbbing cock pressing against her. I lowered my mouth to her shoulder, trailing kisses along the curve of her neck as I whispered, “You’re just too damn beautiful.”
“Beckett,” she breathed as she glanced over at the door.
“Don’t worry. Your mother has JT,” I assured her between kisses. “And it’ll be at least a half-hour before we have to leave.”
“But I need to get ready.” She placed her hands on my chest, pushing me back as she scolded, “And we’re about to take our son to his christening…at a church…with a preacher and bibles, holy water, and…”
“I’ve been to church, freckles. Know all about it.” Smiling, I lowered my mouth to her ear as I whispered, “There’s no sin in making love to my wife.”
A few weeks ago, Alyssa and I had taken JT up to Gatlinburg, and with Landry and Hyde by our side, we said our vows. Alyssa and JT officially took my last name, making it known to everyone around that they were mine.
I began kissing her once again, and it didn’t take long for all of her inhibitions to fall away and her desire to take over. She reached for my cotton t-shirt, pulling it over my head and tossing it to the floor.
I couldn’t help but smile as she lifted her arms and waited for me to make my next move. I slipped my hands around her back, quickly unfastening the clasp of her dress, before carefully lifting it over her head.
I let my hands roam over her bare skin, only stopping when I reached her full, round breasts. My fingers slipped inside the cups of her bra, pulling her breasts free. She licked her lips in anticipation as I took a step back, my eyes devouring every inch of her as she squirmed in the heat of my stare. A low growl rumbled in my throat as my hands ran up her back and unhooked her bra. Her fingers gripped my shoulders as my head lowered to her nipple. My lips surrounded the sensitive flesh as I began nipping and sucking with gentle pressure. Her breath quickened as I moved to her other breast, and I couldn’t take it a moment longer. I had to have her.
A rush of anticipation surged through me as I placed my palms on her outer thighs and slowly eased them up to her waist, hooking my thumbs in the band of her lace panties. Goosebumps prickled across her skin as I slowly dragged them down to her ankles. I watched eagerly as she stepped out of them and looked at me invitingly. My hands flew to her waist, and she gasped as I spun her to face the wall and pinned her wrists above her head. With my free hand, I took a hold of her hair, twirled the length around my hand, and gently tugged it as I whispered, “You got no idea what you do to me.”
She bit her lip as she looked back at me over her shoulder, leaning slightly forward, just begging my fingertips to trail up the inside of her thighs. My hand slowly slid across her silky skin toward the wet heat, and her breath caught as my fingers drifted against her center, circling her sensitive clit. “Beckett!”
“That’s it, baby.”
I dropped my free hand to the buckle of my jeans, and Alyssa groaned with need as I continued to torment her with my fingers. Even though I knew the door was locked and her mother was in the nursery with JT, there was an added bit of excitement at the thought of getting caught. I quickly lowered my jeans and freed my throbbing erection, before adjusting my grip on her wrists. I took a step towards her, sliding my hard, thick cock between her legs. She moaned passionately as she rocked her hips, gliding me against her center. I lowered myself between us, spreading her thighs, and positioned myself at her entrance before thrusting inside of her with one hard, smooth stroke.
A growl escaped my lips as her body clenched down around me, her head falling back with a gasp of pleasure. I moved with slow, deliberate motions as I relished the feeling of being buried deep inside her. I reached up, cupping her full breasts in my hands, as I started to increase my pace. I rolled my hips in a hard, steady rhythm while Alyssa grasped at the wall desperately.
I could feel her entire body start to tremble as I began driving into her with longer, deeper strokes. Her breathing became ragged as her climax approached. I lowered my hand between her legs, and a deep moan vibrated through her chest as I used the pad of my thumb to massage her clit. The rhythmic pressure overwhelmed her, sending her over the edge, as she cried, “Don’t stop!”
The waves of her orgasm had her body clamping down on my cock like a fucking vise, making it impossible to hold back. I could feel it building inside of me as I drove into her again and again. Her cries of ecstasy echoed in my ear as I lowered my mouth to her shoulder, gently biting her as I finally came deep inside of her. I lowered my mouth to her shoulder, gently biting her as finally came deep inside of her. “Damn. Gets better every fucking time.”
“That it does.” She turned to face me and slipped her arms around my neck. “Totally worth being a few minutes late.”
“Glad you agree.” I leaned down and kissed her briefly before saying, “You keep tempting me like this, then I’m gonna have to hit the gym.”
“Oh, really? And why’s that?”
“Only way I’m gonna be able to keep up.”
“Yeah, right.” She shook her head and started towards the bathroom. “If anyone needs to hit the gym, it’s me. You’re looking all hot and buff, while I’m still carrying around this extra baby weight.”
“You’re kidding me, right?” I zipped up my jeans as I walked into the bathroom. “You’re fucking hot, and I happe
n to love every fucking inch of you.”
She looked over at me with a bashful smile. “You’re too sweet, Beckett.”
“Hey. Don’t say that too loud,” I fussed. “I have a reputation to uphold.”
“Oh, yeah.” She shook her head and laughed. “I forgot about that. I’ll be sure to keep it under wraps.”
We both got cleaned up and dressed, then gathered up JT and his things and headed to the church. When we pulled up, I saw that most of my brothers had already arrived and were waiting for us inside. I was helping Alyssa get JT out of the car when Gus and Moose walked up. Gus was all smiles as he said, “Congratulations on your big day.”
“Thanks, Prez.” It was good to see that Gus was back to his old-self. He finally done with therapy, and his scars were fading more and more each day. While Moose had done a great job filling in for him, all the brothers were pleased that Gus was back where he belonged—leading Satan’s Fury the way he always had. “We appreciate y’all coming out to be with us.”
“Wouldn’t miss it.” Moose and Gus both gave Alyssa and me a hug, then Gus looked over to me and said, “Glad to things worked out for you, brother. Nobody deserves it more.”
“Thanks, brother. That means a lot coming from you.”
“Wouldn’t say it if it wasn’t true.” Gus motioned his hand towards the church. “We best not keep ’em waiting.”
“We’ll be right in.”
When Gus and Moose turned to leave, Alyssa and I gathered up the rest of JT’s thing, then headed inside to join the others. I had to admit, seeing all of my brothers sitting in that church wearing their cuts and sporting all their tattoos was a sight to behold. I could only imagine what the preacher was thinking as he stepped up to the pulpit. As we made our way down front, my brothers each greeted us, giving their congratulations and wishing us well, and as soon as we made it up to the priest, Hyde and Landry came up to join us.
Once we were all in position, the preacher wasted no time getting started with the ceremony. As I listen to him welcome our family and friends, I looked over to Alyssa and our son, and I couldn’t have been more proud. For so long, my brothers were all I had, and I’d always thought they were enough. But now, looking at my wife and son, I realized just what I’d been missing. With them and my brothers at my side, I had everything a man could want and more.
