2024-10-14 09:31:52Mack cocked his head. “You don’t just walk into your mom’s house?”
“I told you, we aren’t like your family.”What felt like ages, the woman who raised me opened the ten-foot door, a subtle smile spread on her pale skin, the green of her eyes soaking me in from head to toe. Her hair was no longer blonde, but silver, cut short and to her shoulders. “Merry Christmas, sweetheart,” she greeted in her monotoned voice. She opened her arms to me as an invitation.“Merry Christmas,” I said as we hugged awkwardly. Nancy did her best to be maternal, but displaying affection wasn’t one of her qualities. When I leaned away from her, the cut above my eye had caught her attention. She gently touched it, her eyes narrowing while her mouth formed a thin line. “Come inside,” she ordered, then continued to examine my head before I could take off my shoes.“You weren’t joking wRelated chapters

Mack“Whoa, whoa, now wait a minute,” Kelsey pleaded, standing alongside me. “I’ve seen that look before. This isn’t a business deal, Mack. My mother is not one you want to go toe to toe with.”Setting my hands on her biceps, I met her gaze, attempting to calm my features. “I’m not going to go toe to toe with her, I’m just going to let her know the truth.”Kelsey cocked her head, her eyes narrowing. “Be careful how truthful you’re going to be.”Refraining from rolling my eyes, I reassured her. “I promise I won’t bring that up.” Her mother might burst if she knew Kelsey was pregnant. I stroked her cheek. “We’re going to have a good evening with your mom, alright?”The way she was scowling proved she believed otherwise.Unfortunately, I understood the moment Nancy opened her front door why Kelsey was so apprehensive to introduce me.

KelseyI’m not sure what was said between my mother and Mack while I went to fill the water goblets at the dining room table, but the tension seemed to disperse the moment we sat down for our early Christmas dinner. My mother even patted Mack on the back when we said goodbye.“Now, that wasn’t so bad, was it?” Mack said once we were halfway down the driveway.“I must admit, that went way better than I thought it would. Then again, my dad was never mentioned, that’s typically a recipe for disaster. I think she might even like you.”Mack chuckled and reached for my hand. “If not, she’ll come around.”“What did you say to her to change the mood?”Mack scowled, indicating he didn’t know what I was talking about. “Don’t do that,” I warned, squeezing his hand. “I know you two had words, I just don’t know what was said. I tried really hard to listen wh

“Yeah, we’ll see. Are you at the lake house?” he asked.“Um, yes, we are. Don’t feel like you need to come. I’m thankful we were able to see each other last night.”Mack scowled. “Okay, if you say so.”“I just wanted to catch up with you and wish you both a Merry Christmas,” she said quickly, muffled voices sounding behind her. “Gary and Portia are saying Merry Christmas, too.”Both Mack and I said Merry Christmas at the same time, smiling at each other. Mack hung up, a scowling forming back on his face.“Everything okay?” I asked while wiggling back into my panties and leggings. The car was warm, but the moisture between my legs needed to be covered.His lips twisted before he spoke. “Just odd she’d be so okay with me not seeing her on Christmas.”“Do you want to go to the lake house and surprise them?” I asked. We had time

“Are you okay?” Kelsey asked, shifting in the passenger seat so she was facing me. She’d fallen asleep soon after I’d turned around on the country roads to head to the lake house for the second half of our Christmas Day together.“No, just focused on driving through the snow.”Her lips twisted. “You’re scowling, you know, the face you make when you’re deep in thought.”My shoulders sagged. “I’m just having second thoughts about the drive, that’s all.”She sat up straighter, her eyes passing over the dashboard to look at the oncoming snow. It wasn’t a blizzard, but it also hadn’t stopped snowing the past few days, and the backroads were proof of the winter weather.“Do you want to turn around?”I grinned at her. “No, we’re almost there. You were sleeping for a while. How’s your head?”She squirmed to get comfortab

Kelsey“What the fuck?!” Mack shouted, stumbling as he backed into me. I grabbed his bicep when he shifted his body to shield himself from whatever activity had startled him, confusion heavy on my face. Then, I realized why his mood had shifted from excitement to horror.“Oh my God!” Theresa shouted from underneath a naked Gary, shoving him away from her, causing a very naked Portia to tumble to the floor. All three of them were scrambling now, grabbing pillows, blankets, anything they could to cover themselves.I stood dumbfounded with my jaw hanging open, while Mack covered his face and clumsily bobbed and weaved searching for an escape. He darted past me, and my feet couldn’t move quick enough to catch up to him.He shoved open the back slider, and I cautiously followed him onto the snow-covered porch, thankful I’d kept my boots on.Pacing, he ran his hands through his hair, his chest heaving with each ste

MackKelsey and my perfect first Christmas had turned into any grown child’s nightmare. A million thoughts kept bogging down my mind, the vivid image of Gary sprawled on top of my mother haunted me over and over again. I’d almost pulled over twice on the ride home to puke from the terrifying sight that kept replaying in my head.How the hell did this happen? The past few months, I had wondered if my mother and Gary had a relationship that was overly friendly, but I’d never guess it were the three of them. Had they always been into those types of extracurriculars?I shuddered from the thought.When I shut the car off after pulling into my parking spot, I covered my face with my hands and let my head rest on the steering wheel. What a clusterfuck.Kelsey unbuckled her seatbelt and patiently waited. She’d kept to herself the whole ride home, not giving an input or comment during the two-hour ride on what we had witnes

I’d have to face them at some point, but how could we ever restore what we’d had? How was I going to look them all in the eye and dismiss what I’d witnessed? They wanted to talk, but I didn’t want to see them interacting romantically ever again. Were they going to tell me they were in some sort of three-way relationship? I shivered at the thought, and Kelsey noticed.“Are you cold? I can give you more blankets,” she asked, resituating.“No, it’s not that,” I sighed.She sat up from her cozy spot wedged against me. She knew why I was fidgety. “If you want to talk about it, we can, but I understand if you’re not ready.”I was the kind of guy who’d take what I saw to the grave, but there was something about Kelsey that had the opposite effect. I craved intimacy with her, and that included more than being physical. The emotional connection we shared was just as intoxicating as w

KelseyWhen I woke, I was saddened to feel cool sheets and an empty pillow beside me. Checking the clock, it wasn’t even five o’clock in the morning, and the room was pitch black. Mack must have pulled the blinds back at some point after I’d fallen asleep, hiding the never dull city lights.Sitting upright, I stretched my limbs and ran my hands through my hair, wincing when I caught the stitches near my temple. My headache was gone, but like always, the two babies twirling around in my stomach had their own morning plans. At least this time Mack wouldn’t hear my heaves.After expelling everything in my stomach, I brushed my teeth and washed my face, taking deep breaths until the woozy feelings passed. The second trimester could come any day now, because this sickness was an awful side effect.Now that I felt somewhat presentable, or at least had fresh breath and not as oily of skin, I sought out to find Mack. He’d had one hel

The telltale sound of his zipper sent a shiver down my back. He blew air through his nose, and I knew he was stroking himself. I wanted to spin around and help him, but he kept a firm hand on my hip, then skidded it to the front of my thigh, urging me to sit back on him. Both his arms stabilized me now, steadying me while I hovered over his shaft.The tip of his cock brushed against my clit and I shifted backward, engulfing his length between my folds. I found a rhythm that rubbed the sensitive bud perfectly.“That’s it baby, move how you like,” he murmured, keeping himself from driving into me, but encouraged the gyration of my hips with his palms.My hands were set on his desk, leaning as far forward as I could, giving me the leverage I needed to keep a steady pace.He groaned, palming my belly. I covered his hand, feeling a bond between the four of us. If I were out of the moment or trying to explain it to someone, they wouldn’t get it,

Seven Months LaterKelsey“Mrs. Craft, you’re glowing today!” Ms. Carmichael greeted, standing from her seat. She paced around her desk, taking me in from head to toe.I hadn’t been in the office in over a month due to the doctor’s orders. After our dash of a wedding with only a handful of people in attendance, bedrest was requested, and sitting around the apartment was causing me to go stir crazy.Ms. Carmichael crinkled her nose. “Does Mr. Craft know you’re coming to visit?”Holding up a container, I said, “No, I thought I’d bring him some lunch.” She chewed on her bottom lip, and I laughed. “Don’t worry, if he’s grumpy it’ll be geared towards me, not you.”She laughed, but the tension around her eyes proved she was timid toward calling him. I’d help with that. His eight months pregnant wife could interrupt his work.When I came in, the

MackThe day I had been planning for the past month was finally here, and although it didn’t go into motion until a month ago, I had imagined it happening since November. I’d dropped a pretty penny to make my vision become a reality, and with the help of Portia and my mother, Kelsey would be in awe and left speechless, and hopefully even more full of joy than she already was.I buttoned my light blue dress shirt while I stared at my sun kissed face in the mirror, still wondering if the past year had been a dream. It was on this day a year ago that I took the chance and closed the space between us in my office, opening a whole new world that neither of us expected to unravel. I was still just as hungry for her now as I was then, but now, I couldn’t live without her, and I was ready to take the final step to becoming fully committed.Kelsey came behind me, wrapping her arms around my waist and resting his head between my shoulder blades. &ldquo

One Month LaterKelseyI inhaled the fresh salty air, basking in the warm sun I’d desperately longed for. Winter in Ohio was rough, and when Mack surprised me with tickets to a resort in the Florida Keys, I was ecstatic.My skin was smooth and hungry for the rays while I laid on the cozy outdoor lounger next to our private pool that overlooked the beach. Mack had jumped in the pool to cool off, and I was enjoying the view of his defined shoulder blades and biceps while he swam.I’d been exhausted the past three months, and found a new bundle of energy when he’d given me the airline ticket. I was going to take advantage of our alone time, and the pulse that awakened between my legs was going to make up for all the nights I’d fallen asleep before getting lost in him.Mack never complained, if anything, he was coddling me, and I was eager to take care of him, and soon. He climbed out of the pool, his forearms flexing alon

Small sized single showers weren’t intimidating to Mack Craft when he wanted sexy time together. You’d think I’d be gun shy when it came to shower sex considering I slipped and gauged my head the last time we messed around, but I was more than ready to have his hands on me. The close proximity made our time together all the more better.We crawled into bed after our thorough shower, Mack in sweats and me in one of his t-shirts, the heavy, Aztek designed quilt covering us both. Mack pulled me to his chest and tangled our legs together.He ran his fingers through my damn hair, taking turns between stroking and massaging. A softness was laced with his gaze, his brows relaxed as his eyes took me in. “Tell me about your day with my dad,” I asked him, wondering if the time he spent with him was partly why his temperament was easy.“It was eye-opening and much needed. I didn’t realize the reservations were so poverty stricken.&

She met my grin, and did as I asked, rolling to her side as I climbed off her, then continued unpacking.Kelsey must have been tired because her breathing had changed within minutes of closing her eyes. I loved watching her sleep. Something about her relaxed state was soothing and brought me comfort knowing she felt safe and cared for to sleep soundly.***Lunch with my mother came in what felt like the snap of my fingers, and I found myself sitting in my car giving myself a pep talk before joining her at her favorite restaurant. Normally we’d sit outside, but the weather was bitter cold and snow was still on the ground.“Don’t overthink this,” I murmured to myself, my hands sliding around the steering wheel. Taking another deep breath, I shut off the car and headed into the café.She was sitting at a table when I arrived, her back to me. Her dark hair was tied back into it’s perfect bun, her j

“Has Kelsey been hunting with you?” I asked as we sat on logs near the lake. Amos had started a fire and had butchered parts of the elk. I wasn’t expecting him to pull out cooking utensils and seasons from his backpack, prepared to roast whatever animal we’d come across for dinner.He took a long drag of his cigarette before answer. “No, she hasn’t. I wish I had taught her, but it’s not my people’s way. Hunting is meant for the man, not the woman. I know that’s a stereotype the world doesn’t like to hear, but it’s our culture, and if our people don’t like it, they don’t have to do it. We don’t hold our own kind hostage.”I rested my elbows on my knees. “You don’t like that she has a career and lives in the city, do you?”Amos kept his eyes on the flames, watching the piece of meat cook. “I wish she were closer to home. I’m glad she’s foun

I found myself getting into Talon’s basketball game. He was pretty athletic, and ran the court with assertiveness. I wasn’t surprised, the kid had a strong disposition, and leadership would be in his future if he kept it up.Carsyn sat on Kelsey’s lap for most of the game, talking her ear off until she gave him her phone to play with. I didn’t mind that he was chatty, he didn’t require answers from me or Amos, so we were able to focus on the game. Amos was more interested than I would have predicted, and even cheered for his boy. Simon was on the end of the bench as one of the assistant coaches, the one who made sure they were all hydrated and encouraged.“You’ll have fun,” Kelsey said while Simon mingled with some of the other parents just outside of the gym in the parking lot, and Amos gave Talon his fatherly recap of the basketball game. “My dad is a big teddy bear.”I touched her cheek. “I&rsq

“Sorry I passed out last night,” Kelsey said when I emerged from the bathroom. I’d woken up a few hours earlier, unable to fall back asleep, so I plugged in my computer and ran through some emails while she continued to sleep. As badly as I wanted to wake her for a shower, she needed her rest.“I was tired too,” I admitted. My eyes closed nearly as fast as hers did.I’d woken up when she had her first round of morning sickness, but didn’t want her to realize I’d heard her. I knew she felt awkward when I’d try to comfort her, and I also knew if I started to move around, she wouldn’t be able to fall back asleep. She needed to rest more now that she was growing two babies.She stood from the bed and stretched, her hips showing when her arms rose into the air. She’d thrown on one of my white undershirts, and like normal, her nipples were poking against the thin fabric to say good morning. Reaching out
