“He’s fine,” Kane replied, standing over us, “just embarrassed I knocked him on his ass in front of his girl.” Grayson flipped him off and Kane walked away laughing.
“Hey, beautiful.” Grayson sat up and smiled at me in that way that made me want to melt into his arms. Not this time. Nope, nuh uh, no how.
“Don’t you ‘hey, beautiful’ me.” I smacked his sweaty chest and temporarily got sidetracked by the hot skin under my fingertips. Tearing my eyes away from the tempting sight, I realized my distraction hadn’t gone unnoticed. He was smirking at me and flexing his muscles, like a proud peacock.
Standing up quickly, I assumed the pissed off pose universally known by women everywhere that were fed up with men, fisted hands settled on my hips and a disapproving scowl. “Did you think I wouldn’t notice that you’d moved everything I owned into your living room?”
His smirk dropped as he climbed to his feet with a groan. “Honestly, I knew you were going to notice and that’s why I made sure that I left earlier than usual. I thought that we could skip the unnecessary fight about something that was inevitable all along.”
“Inevitable?” I shrieked. “Who the hell do you think you are? Thanos? You can just snap your fingers and get what you want? If that’s what you believe then I have news for you, buddy, you’re the bad guy in this scenario. Captain America would’ve asked before moving his girlfriend’s things into his house.”
“Maybe you’re right,” he shrugged, throwing me off balance as he snaked his arm around my waist, quickly pressing his sweat covered body against mine. “If being the bad guy means that you’re in my bed every night, rubbing this sexy ass against my cock then I’ll gladly accept that role.” He punctuated his words by laying one giant palm on said ass and squeezing.
His growing erection pressed into my belly and heat pooled between my thighs. I wanted what he described just as badly. I’d never felt safer, more loved than when I was lying in his bed with his arms secure around me. It felt right, like I’d always belonged there, with him.
“You didn’t ask me, Grayson. My entire life has been about what would keep me safe, keep me alive long enough to see the next day. I’ve been running for years but I feel like I’m finally getting to choose what I want, what makes me happy. Haven’t I earned that right, to make my own choices?”
Regret transformed his features and he dropped his forehead to mine. “You’re right, I’m sorry I took that away from you.” And that was it, he didn’t make excuses, he accepted my feelings and recognized what I was telling him. I loved him all the more for understanding. Grayson was it for me, I was it for him, we belonged to each other.
“You know,” I leaned back so that he could see me. “You never asked me to move in with you, which means you never got to hear my answer.” I watched as hope bloomed in his eyes as I waggled my brows playfully.
“Do you remember the first day we met?” My smile grew and I nodded my head.
I’d been borrowing Winnie’s oven to bake a cupcake order, Daisy had flown into the kitchen, introducing herself and diving right in to help. When Grayson walked in, tall and handsome, more handsome than any man had a right to be, I’d been struck speechless. I’d dropped my gaze and focused on Daisy, too embarrassed by my attraction to even look at him again.
“You were such a surprise to me, sweetheart. I walked into the kitchen that day and you knocked me on my ass. There you were, the most beautiful woman I’d ever seen in my life making room for my daughter at the counter and helping her decorate cupcakes. How could I have possibly prepared myself for that? How could I have ever been ready for you, for my other half?”
Tears filled my eyes and I bit my lip to keep from interrupting him. I should have known Grayson wouldn’t leave it at a simple question.
“Lily, I never want to wake up without you by my side. I never want to close my eyes at the end of the day until yours are closed next to me. I want to have movie nights with you and Daisy and I want to create a home for our family. I want to walk into my kitchen to find you laughing and remember that day you came into our lives. And someday,” he swallowed hard, “if you’ll let me, I want to be your husband and have more babies with you. I love you, Lily. will you move in with us?”
No more running, Lily.“I love you, too. Yes, yes to all of it.” I sobbed as Grayson lifted me off my feet and swung me around in a circle. When he stopped, his kiss had my body lighting on fire for him.
Grayson’s hands tore at my clothing, my shirt was stripped over my head, my jeans pushed off my hips. “I need you, sweetheart, fuck, I need you.”
“But what about the others?” I turned my head to the side and searched the gym but we were completely alone.
“Don’t worry, they won’t bother us. Nobody is going to see this perfect body but me. You’re mine, you chose me and nobody else gets to see my girl coming.”
In the next moment, we were both naked and on the mat, only this time my back was pressed to the ground. His lips descended my body, every spot he kissed making me burn hotter. My legs were thrown over his shoulders and he attacked my pussy like he hadn’t tasted it in years.
When he shoved those wonderfully thick fingers inside of me, my climax was so overwhelming, I didn’t have time to catch my breath before he was thrusting his cock inside of me in a rapid pace. My body coated in sweat, slid on the mat with every drive of his hips.
It was a claiming, for both of us. And when we came together, shouting loud enough that I knew the others had to hear, I couldn’t bring myself to care.
I wrapped my body around him, clinging to him tighter than ever before. Grayson James was mine and I was his. This was my dream come true, to finally belong to someone, to have a family. And God help anyone who tried to take it from me.

GRAY
Daisy’s homecoming turned into a full-on party with all of our family and friends stuffed into our living room eating the delicious cake Lily made and celebrating her new living arrangements.
It felt really good to have my daughter home and in my arms again. It felt even better that she’d accepted Lily joining our family without a second thought. I watched my beautiful girls from across the room as I half listened to my father’s story about my mother’s one and only attempt to park the camper. Lily was looking down, love and affection pouring from her as Daisy told her about every minute of her trip.
“Guess I need to pull that tux back out of the closet,” my father said, laying a heavy hand on my shoulder and bringing my attention back to him.
“Sorry, Dad,” I said with chagrin.
