CALLUM

We can tell when Isla walks out and Odin asks her to swim she is nervous about the idea, but whatever he whispers in her ear seems to put a fire into her eyes. They both split off and go to the little changing rooms that are at the back of the pool house.

Bodie is helping Emma cook dinner, not that that is surprising. Orin and Silas are taking turns tossing the boys in the pool, while I’m helping Vivi float around on her unicorn raft, dressed in an adorable yellow polka dot version of a bikini, content with listening to her splashing and laughing. It’s crazy how much I already love these kids, and I don’t think I’m too far from it with Isla. I never thought I’d find a woman I’d want to settle down with, much less one with kids. There is just something about Isla that draws you in and makes you want to surround yourself with her. She’s so strong and beautiful, it amazes me that after everything she’s been through she’s still able to be so open. I’m snapped out of my musings when Vivi decides she’s not getting enough attention and splashes me in the face while she giggles.

“Oh you think that’s funny huh, princess?” I start tickling her on her back and neck as she giggles louder.

“Mommy you look so pretty!” Arden calls out.

Me and the rest of the guys turn so fast it’s a wonder we don’t all break our necks, and HOLY. SHIT. She is stunning in a two piece emerald green bathing suit. It’s a regular bikini top that makes her tits look amazing, the bottoms are high waisted boy shorts that enhance her hourglass figure. Man, I don’t know how we got so lucky.

Isla blushes and looks at her kids, giving them a stunning smile. “Thank you baby.” She looks around and blushes even more when she realizes we are all looking at her like starving men.

She slowly walks down the stairs of the pool and makes her way to the boys who both hug her while Orin and Silas take turns kissing her head. Then she makes her way over to me and Vivi. Her daughter immediately reaches for her. Isla picks her up and leans back, setting her daughter on top of her stomach so they can float together.

I go to stand by them, putting my hands under her lower back to help keep them buoyant. I can't help but notice how gorgeous she looks laying on her back with her hair fanned out in the water. Silas must see something in the way I'm looking at her, because he makes his way over and takes Vivi to put on one of her water toys.

After he swims away, I lean down to whisper in Isla's ear. "You look good enough to eat, Kitten. Hopefully I'll get the chance to taste you soon." I bite lightly on her ear and I can see her break out in goosebumps, shivering slightly and I know it isn't the water temperature.

She looks up at me with her big blue eyes and smirks. "I guess we will have to wait and see, now won't we Daddy?" she whispers, making sure Vivi is far enough away so she can't hear. Isla must've seen the heat in my gaze when she called me Daddy, because there is a matching intensity in hers.

I lower my arms from beneath her and pull her against me in a floating hug, trying to remember our kids are mere feet away. “Will you be a good girl for me, and come all over my tongue over and over again, until you’re so sensitive just a puff of air will take your breath away? Will you beg me to give you more till you’re shaking from pleasure?”

Her pupils are dilated and she looks two seconds from jumping me when she takes her hand and runs it up my chest, the little minx squeezing my nipple. “Yes, Daddy,” she breathes huskily before diving under the water, leaving me hard as a rock and almost panting.

I can’t wait to bend her over and have her sweet ass red from my handprints. I need to sit her down and have a conversation with her about limits and triggers.

ISLA

After teasingCallum then swimming off, we all play in the pool a while longer. I was going to put the shirt on but I’d rather find out they don’t find me attractive before I get attached. However, by the looks they were giving me I don’t feel like I have anything to worry about. All five of them looked like they were about to kidnap me, caveman style. Secretly, I will now have visions of them in loincloths waving their clubs around and grunting at any intruders.

“Okay kids, it’s time to eat! Yes, I mean the big kids as well,” my grandmother calls out. Silas, Odin, and Callum all grab a kid and Orin holds my hand as I step out. We all get dried off while Maw-Maw and Bodie set all the food on the table. We all start fixing plates and sit down at the big picnic table that's in the corner of the pool house.

“This looks great guys,” I tell Bodie and my grandmother as they sit down.

“It was mostly Bodie. It seems he is very anal about how things in the kitchen should be done. I almost had to beat him with a frying pan,” Maw-Maw says, narrowing her eyes at the man in question.

“Hey, I’m not that bad! It’s my job to be able to cook. Sorry if I got too bossy,” he tells her sheepishly.

“None of us will willingly cook with him anymore, since it almost always results in a fight,” Odin chuckles.

“One time we were trying to help cook a big Thanksgiving dinner, and we somehow ended up with a turkey being slung across the kitchen like a violent football, and mashed potatoes on the ceiling. Plus, the neighbors called the cops because of all the noise and shouting and Odin wound up having to talk to them when they showed up.” Orin grins teasingly as he pats his twin on the back.

“It seems like it would be so nice to have friends as close as y'all are. I haven’t had any close friends since college.” I tell them.

Bodie, who sat beside me, reaches over and squeezes my leg. “Well Angel, I’m sure once you get settled more you’ll have no issues making friends.”

Silas chimes in, “You know I don’t think any of us asked. What did you go to school for? Did you graduate?”

I give him a small smile. “Yeah I did, actually. I went to school for early childhood education. I never got to use my degree, but before the whole thing with the car, I applied to be a sub at the school the kids will be going to. I have to go in next week to do the background check and figure out how to schedule my praxis, so I can teach full time.”

“Oh, that’ll be awesome Darlin’. I’m glad you’re finally going to be able to use your degree,” Orin says, refilling my glass of tea.

I smile my thanks at him. “I know, I’m so happy I can finally have a job I'll love. So how is tomorrow going to work? Are all of y'all going to meet us at the school? Drop off is at seven fifty, but I promised Chris and Nathan, the principal and the counselor, that I would stop in and say hey and finish the last bit of paperwork for subbing.”

Bodie speaks up for the lot of them, “Yeah Angel, we can meet y'all there. That will make it easier for everyone to get to work after. Do you want to come to the restaurant for lunch tomorrow after you do the background check? I believe you can go to the police station for that, right Odin?”
