Ari turns my face back to her with a finger under my chin. “She could have fallen and broken her neck. You could’ve gotten caught and been killed too. Or either she would have witnessed what you did and never been able to recover. There are a lot of scenarios in this that could have gone horribly. Don’t linger on them.
“The decision you made was the best. Because of it, you got to meet your brothers and Priest. And not only that, but you also got to meet me, which should be the highlight of your life.”
Her joke causes us to laugh.
“It is,” I admit in my Milo voice. I use this voice more often when I am alone with Ari.
We had no idea we would ever find love. We didn’t even plan on it. However, the day we first laid eyes on Ari at the receptionist desk, we fell for her. I’d never met anyone as beautiful as her.
Finally, being able to be with her and spend time with her has taught me that her value goes deeper than her good looks. Ariane is funny, loving, caring, smart, brave, encouraging, and the most giving being we’ve ever come across.
We don’t deserve her.
“Approximately 70% of heterosexual unmarried relationships break up within the first year,”Phyllis’ voice says.
“If she tries to leave us, we will kill every man that touches her,”Priest growls.
“Just love her and treat her right and she will never leave,”Laura states.
Grabbing her hand, we place a kiss on her palm. “We will never let you go.”
She giggles. “Aww, you thought you had a choice. I’m pregnant with your child, Milo. I’ll kill you before I let you leave us.”
She places a kiss on my lips before turning away from me.
“Alright, guys, it’s show time. Zeke just arrived,” Lucien’s voice comes through the earpiece in my ear. “Turn the mics on from here on out. Many, I want this over quick.”
Ari and I both take the devices out of our ear and switch on the microphone before placing them back in. Now we can hear the others and they can hear us.
“You got it, brother Lucien.”
“Get to your spot,” Lucien says. “Ari, get your dogs ready.”
She chuckles. “They’re always ready.”
We stand, then help her to her feet. She places her arms around my neck and brings her lips to ours. We happily open our mouth for her. She rakes her tongue against ours deepening the kiss. Placing our hand on her ass we pull her into our erection. We feel her smile against our lips. We have not laid with Ari in the sexual intercourse since Papa Priest died. Up until now, we have not wanted to. We do now.
“Easy does it,” Ari giggles. “We don’t want to put on a show for your brothers.”
“We do not want that,” I say in my Priest voice.
“Please don’t,” Zel adds in my earpiece. “Nobody wants to see y’all’s weird ass sex.”
We pull away from Ari and jump down from the play set.
“Kraken, Hydra, go with Daddy,” Ari says directing the dogs. They will only follow her command, so we had to fit the dogs with hearing devices as well.
Both dogs rush down the slide to stand at our side. With one final glance, we leave her at the playground. We rush to the running path and to the designated tree.
“I’m here,” we say to the group.
We grab the lowest branch and swing our body up, using our legs to wrap around the next limb. We then right ourselves and use the rest of the tree limbs to climb as far up in the tree as we can get.
“Alright, Ari. Get the dogs in place,” Lucien says.
“Kraken, Hydra, playtime. Wait for my command.”
The two dogs move onto the track and start play fighting. We wait patiently.
