"Yeah, I think she thinks you all have something going on."

"Oh eww," that is a gross notion since I see him as nothing but a brother, the same way I see Ford, "not that Reef isn't hot...," I hear a growl from behind me and turn to see a super pissed off Peirce. Before he can say anything, I cut him off, "Chill out, I'm on the phone with my sister."

I focus back on what needs to be addressed, "Let's get back to this stranger, Charlie. Do we know him?"

She whispers a name, but I must have misheard her. "Who?"

"Sebastian."

"What? You got with the hot new guy?!" Peirce makes another growling sound and starts stomping toward me. I hold my hand up to stop him, ". "I can call another man hot if I want to. It doesn't mean I want to do anything with them, damn it. You need to chill with the caveman bullshit."

I will not change the way I talk or act just because he's an overbearing caveman. Even if I do find it hot, I'm not putting up with it. He takes my hand and starts doing sexy things with it. Tracing shapes along the back of my hand and the palm with his tongue before he sucks one of my fingers in his mouth. I try to focus on Charlie. She needs me now...right?

"So was it good?"

"I don't know. I can't remember."

"Oh." Yeah, she definitely needs me. There is a story there that needs to come out. "Well, that's all right." Charlie is such a rock for our family, it's hard to imagine her shaken.

"I'm late. I promised mom I would help her today."

"Oh, you want me to call her and tell her you got lucky last night and have a dick-over this morning." Peirce pulls back and mouths the word back to me.

"A dick-over?"

I answer both of them. "It's like a hangover but not because of drinking. It's because you got a good, deep dicking that makes you want to stay in bed half the morning."

They both laugh loud and long for me and a sense of satisfaction warms my insides as I think about these two people, so important in my life, laughing at something silly I said. I can see where Peirce is going to fit into my life and it makes me beyond happy.

"Yeah, I definitely do not want you to tell her that, thank you very much. I'll figure it out. You go calm your caveman down. Love you, Willa."

"Love you too, Sis."

I end the call and put my full focus on Peirce. He grins at me. "I like your sister. She seems like a smart woman."

I cock my head in a sassy tilt before raising an eyebrow at him. He heard what she said before we hung up with one another. He pulls me into him and puts his lips on mine. "Come eat breakfast with me, angel."

He pulls me into his lap as soon as we reach the table, not wanting me to be too far away. After he's fed me all I can eat he picks me up and walks me to the bathroom. He loosens my robe and slides it down my body before leading me to the shower. I wait for him to come in with me and run my hands up his chest. It's still hard for me to believe that all of this is mine. That he wants me as much as I want him.

Thank God he was willing to fight for us. Thank God he didn't give up on my ass and I lost all of this over a simple, stupid mistake. The thought has me rubbing against him just so I can tell myself this is real, things worked themselves out somehow - despite my ability to try to fuck them up.

He holds me close to him like he might be experiencing the same things - the same thoughts - as I am. His hands run up and down my sides and finally come to rest cupping my breasts. He pulls his mouth from mine reluctantly, "We are not making love in the shower, angel."

"What?" He better have a damned good reason why.

"I won't take your safety or the safety of our baby for granted like that. Anything could happen. One of us could slip and fall." Oh my God! He's...protecting me, keeping me safe, putting my needs over his wants. Tears clog my throat at the sweetness of his actions. "Don't cry. If you're a good girl, I'll fuck you in the bathtub tonight after the wedding dinner."

"It's just...you... you’re perfect for me. I can't believe how lucky I am."

We spend the rest of shower time soaping each other up and teasing one another. After we get out, he lays me on the bed and makes slow sweet love to me. We must doze off because my phone is the thing that has me jerking awake this time. I reach for it without really moving away from Peirce.

"Hey girl, how you doing?" It's Teddy.

"I have to see you. I did something awful." I'm up before she finishes. Peirce is right beside me, sensing my distress.

"Okay sweetheart, we'll meet at mom and dad’s. Is that alright? Are you okay? Do you need me to come get you?" I am going to kill Reef if he hurt her. Teddy is the most sensitive sister out of all of my sisters and the one I'm closest to.

"No. I just need to talk to you."
