“Unless you want the kids to find out about the birds and the bees you better stop and do it now.” His voice was rough, harsh, and aggressive even.
Did I do something wrong? Turnabout is fair play I always thought. I guess not with you. She couldn’t believe it but she found herself pouting because what she thought was innocent fun, pissed him off and had hurt her feelings.
“You misunderstand me.” He reached out and grabbed her hand rubbing her palm over his rock hard ‘ready for me now’ cock. Oh.
“Yeah. Oh! Now that we have that out of the way, shall we grab our lunch and head out onto the patio. You can meet my vicious guard dogs.” He gave her that ‘I’m only joking’ smile then disappeared into the kitchen again. The dogs did make her uncomfortable.
When she reached the kitchen, he had multiple club sandwiches made and on a tray. A pitcher of ice tea. Doritos. She watched as he balanced everything in his hand and on his arms like he had been an experienced waiter at one time or another. She found herself impressed by the odd surprise.
“I’ve never worked a day in my life Taylor. That doesn’t mean I don’t work hard. I work on a ranch that Jarrod and I own together. I run this ranch, that I bought so I could be close to you. Thanks for noticing my awesome skills though, follow me.” He grinned before she began to follow him out onto the patio. The sight before her surprised her. The kids were rolling on the ground with two very large dogs on top of them.
Her heart began beating against her chest at just the sight of it.
“Strawberry, Chance!” He called and as obedient as could be, they were at his feet. “Sit.” He ordered and they did.
“Ok guys, let’s feed Mom shall we? I think she gets a little cranky when she’s hungry.” He teased her. She would have responded but then the kid’s laughter broke her train of thought.
They all sat down while he made each of their plates. He didn’t make one for himself.
Do you not eat any food at all? He shook his head no at her. Do you drink anything?
“Later.” He silently mouthed at her.
She continued with her meal. When she didn’t think she could hold anymore she pushed her plate aside.
“Gosh Mom, eaten lately?” Taylor looked over at Zach, then around the table and all of them were staring at her.
“Sorry guys, guess I was hungry.”
“Can we go play with Strawberry and Chance now Damey?” Ashley put her tiny hands in front of her begging for a yes. Taylor had to admit just how damn cute she was when she would pull out the hard to refuse cards, she so frequently had learned to play.
“It’s fine with me. You better ask your Mom though. I think they scare her a bit.”
“Mom, can we?” Ashley pleaded.
“Come on Mom. Killers aren’t they? They will lick our faces off.” Zach sarcastically put in his two cents.
“Sarcasm will not get you a Hottie Zach. And yes you may go now.” That’s all it took. Chairs flew back and they were running calling for the dogs. The dogs remained where they were until Damien gave them their cue. They shot after the kids. Taylor watched, her heart surprised with feeling and overcome with emotion.
Staring at them, watching them closely was nerve easing for her. Although they were large, full of muscle dogs, they were very tender and gentle with them. They had both wanted a dog for so long but Taylor couldn’t see adding another being into their screwed up chaotic life.
“It’s a beautiful thing just sitting back and watching with no worries in the world isn’t it. You know you don’t have to worry about anything while you’re with me. You safe, your kids are safe. Only pleasure if you allow it.”
She turned looking at him expecting him to be looking back at her but instead he watched the twins. He stood making his way over to them. Grabbing Ashley’s hands he began to spin her in circles, until both of them fell to the ground, with her landing on top of him breaking the fall. The sound of her high pitched laugh filled the air around them.
Zach raced over with his hands out and making it very well known it was now his turn. Damien jumped up, spinning him the same as he had Ashley, with the same result. Their laughter echoed in the air. Emotion overtook her in ways she had never known before.
She wanted to cry, laugh, and join i
n at the same time. She chose to sit back and watch as Damien played. She needed to know that they would be ok with Damien in their lives. She needed to see that Damien was ok with them in his life.
How he was going to play a part, was the question of the day. How was this going to happen? A vampire living with humans. Will he age? Will he die one day? If the movies and books are incorrect what do I know about him really?
Her mind came to a halting stop as Ashley pulled at her sleeve. “Mommy, Damey said he has a swimming pool and we can go swimming. Come on Mommy lets go. We want to swim.”
Taylor hesitated. “We can’t go swimming it is too cold out Silly.” Ashley looked at Damien. He didn’t say a word just held his hand out to her smiling. Her hand looked so small, fragile in his as he guided her. Taylor stood following them from a distance. So many times had she been out and seen this very same picture and longed to see it with her kids. It was finally happening.
Into the house, through several doors, into a wide open room, surrounded by glass, they went. The largest swimming Taylor had ever laid her eyes on, centered in the room. On one end it was shallow enough she could see the bottom. On the other end the water was a deep blue, with no bottom in sight.
