"Get a room!" I heard Vinny call out.

With my lips against Ashleigh's, I flipped him off too. When we finally broke apart, people started clapping. I looked around. "Oh, fuck off."

"Hey!" Autumn scolded and nudged her head toward the pool. "Watch your language."

"Sorry," I replied, but really, I wasn't. My friends could all fuck off.

Brad walked over and extended his hand. We shook. "Welcome toThe Fallen."

The entire time we mingled and did what was expected at a baby shower (games and shit), I couldn't keep my hands off of my girl. They were either threaded in her long brown hair, resting on her bare knee, wrapped around her shoulders, or clasped with hers. It felt good to be able to touch and kiss her again.

"Did you drive yourself?" I asked as everyone ate cake.

She shook her head. "Adriane drove."

"You want to come back to my place after this?"

"Do you have stuff for breakfast in the morning?" She grinned.

I leaned in and whispered, "The only breakfast I want to eat is your pussy."

She thought for a moment. "I could work with that."

When the party was over, and people started to say their goodbyes, so did Ashleigh and I.

"I'll get you your money on Monday," I stated to Paul.

"Nah. It's all good, man. I'm just happy you got your head out of your ass." We shook, he and Ashleigh hugged, and I moved onto Gabe.

"I'll have your money for you on Monday."

He smiled and looked at Ashleigh and then back at me. "No worries. I'm good."

I nodded, shook his hand, and then moved on to Seth while Ashleigh gave Gabe a hug goodbye.

"I don't want it either," Seth replied.

"Okay," I said, shaking his hand.

"I can't wait to meet your baby girl." Ashleigh beamed. "Thank you for letting me celebrate with all of you."

"I'm glad it all worked out," Seth replied.

We moved on to Vinny. "Do you want your winnings?" I asked.

He grinned. "No. Save it."

"All right." We shook.

Ashleigh shook his hand too. "It was nice to meet you."

"Likewise," Vin replied.

We said goodbye to Brad next. "What about you?" I questioned. "You want your winnings?"

He smiled. "Consider it your membership fee."

I chuckled. "To the club you started?"
