MOTHER'S DAY
Liam has been traveling again, he was in Prague, Amsterdam, Italy and I’m not sure where today. I miss him when he travels.
But today when I wake up I find him here. The light shined through the window, illuminating his eyes, bright like the sky, softened with a smile.
“You’re here,” I breathed.
“Where else would I be?”
It’d been a week, but it might as well have been a year for how much I missed his voice. It washed over me, easing the muscles that had tightened with each second I thought he’d left me.
“I—” I swallowed past the lump working its way up my throat. Between the confession and seeing him, my emotions were on e

Both Liam and I enjoy sex, most of all sex with each and we have a lot of it.Though recently he has been traveling again so we’re barely together, which always leads to quickies in the time we’re together.

Carla's POV “Your mother hates me.” I say to Liam joining him in the kitchen. “She doesn’t hate you.” Liam says with a smile pulling me into his chest. “Yeah he’s right, in fact you’re her favorite daughter in law.” Liam’s brother Ethan says joining us in the kitchen. “Doesn’t seem like it, all the jabs about my parenting skills and how I’m running my household will sure make it seem that way.” I say with a sigh. “She’s just like that, she was a housewife and expects everyone to be like her.” Ethan adds. “Just don’t listen to her, you’re perfect.” Liam says kissing my cheeks. “What about the deserts?” Liam’s mom shouts from the dining room.
