He held up a hand to stop me.
“You have a baby coming. Don’t turn down money you earned,” he said.
“Right,” I said. “Thank you.”
“Not a problem,” Cam said, grinning. “I am very happy for you both, by the way.”
It was my turn to grin. As he left, I turned around and looked for Ally. Usually, she was still in the kitchen, but it seemed she had already cut for the night. Derek was in the kitchen cleaning up, and I ran outside, catching Ally before she left for the night. We hugged and chatted for a moment before I asked her for her advice on finding a good doctor. She pulled up her doctor’s information on her phone and sent it to me, and when I walked back into the restaurant, I had a plan to call them in the morning.
Ally had been so happy for me and so excited that it added to the good mood that had been building since I got back on the floor, and when we got home that night, I all but tackled Derek. It was our home now, not his with me as a guest. We were a couple, officially, and I could strip him down without any guilt at all. As I ran and jumped into his arms, I knew he would catch me, like he always would.
I wrapped my legs around his waist, our lips sinking into one another as he carried me to the bedroom. Laughter bubbled up between us, relief and excitement mixing together as we both realized this would be the first time there would be no questions afterward. No worries. We were together, and there was no reason for guilt or concern.
The door stood open, as usual, and Derek carried me to the bed, sitting me down gently before removing his lips from mine. He pulled on his shirt, yanking it up over his head while I kissed his stomach and chest, my own hands yanking on his belt and flailing at his zipper. With his shirt off, he helped me unbutton his pants, and they fell to the floor, leaving him in his boxer briefs, his thick cock stretching the fabric.
I pulled down on them and wrapped my head around his throbbing staff, stroking it as I looked up into his face. I relished the expression of his pleasure as I slid my tongue underneath the head and collected the salty fluid that built up there. Then I took him deeply into my mouth, letting his head brush the sides of my cheeks as it worked its way back. He groaned and put his hands behind my head, guiding me in my motion.
Derek began rocking his hips as I played with his balls with one hand and kept a grip on his staff with the other as he plunged into my mouth over and over. When he was at his hardest, his cock slick from my mouth, I pulled away and let go. Yanking my own shirt over my head, I heard him grumble in appreciation. I unhooked my bra, letting it fall away, and scooted back on the bed, giving him room to climb on.
Hovering over me, Derek kissed me deeply and then moved his lips down my body. He paid special attention to my collarbone and breasts before finally making his way to my pants, which he slowly removed from my body. When I was naked in front of him, he kissed up my thighs, stopping at the crook between my thigh and my core and letting his tongue sweep the rest of the way.
I cried out as he reached my clit and began to swirl slowly, expertly. He licked it gently as he plunged two fingers deep inside me. I moaned and wiggled underneath him as he brushed the pads of his fingers across the upper walls of my pussy. I filled my hand with his hair and leaned back, arching up as I closed my eyes tightly shut and focused on the sensation.
The climax was coming, and I leaned into it. The wave was crashing all around me in an intense, thunderous clap of sensation, and my thighs squeezed around his head as I began to buck up. His powerful hands held me in place as his tongue pressed hard into my clit, and his fingers moved in and out of me fast and hard.
When I finally reached the end of a powerful orgasm, I lay back and spread myself wide for him as he positioned himself between my thighs. I was still sensitive to the touch and shaking when the head of his cock rested at my opening. My pussy was throbbing and soaked as he penetrated me, sliding slowly into me and letting me adjust to his thickness.
We made love slowly, achingly slowly, our lips constantly entangled in one another. As he filled me with his body, I felt more complete than I ever had. We rolled and laughed and cried out in ecstasy as he increased his speed, and I found myself tipping into another intense orgasm. He came with me, and we kissed hard while his body emptied into mine, slowly falling into each other’s arms in the bed, naked and satisfied.

DEREK
It had been a few days since everything happened all at once, and it was nice that Jack stayed for a bit, letting him and Jodi catch up a little. It took all of one day for Jodi to excitedly begin bringing her clothes and other things into what was now our bedroom. I easily cleared space for her, condensing my things to half the drawers and creating a couple of bags to go to the Goodwill.
Jack came over a bunch, hanging out with us before or after work. Normally I would have suggested we all go out, but with Jodi being pregnant, I didn’t want her to feel left out if Jack and I had drinks at a bar. Instead, we made our way back to our place, and I found out Jack was a pretty damn good mixologist in his own right. I made sure to invite him to a family dinner if he found his way into town on a Sunday, and he agreed, which made Jodi cry a bit.
As the week wound down, Jack was preparing to head back home the next morning and took up our offer to stay in the office that was most recently Jodi’s room. She had completely cleared out of it by then, but the mattress was still on the pullout couch, so it made sense for him to check out of the hotel a day early and spend the night with his sister. She stayed home from work that night, and when I got home, I found them on the couch, laughing and eating pizza, chatting.
I found myself quite liking Jack. He was a lot like his sister, which I guess I should have expected with them being twins. They shared a lot of the same quirks and speech patterns, along with interests and things. Since Jodi and I meshed so well, it was no big surprise that I would do the same with her brother.
It struck me how smart both of them were. Jodi had always seemed smarter than the average waitress for sure, but when the two of them were together, even I had trouble sometimes keeping up with the references to literature or history that sometimes bubbled up. Jack in particular was funny and quick and full of jokes.
Jodi was practically buzzing as I sat down and joined them. I knew how important it was for her that her brother was not only with her, but on her side. Having to fight that battle alone must have been incredibly terrifying, but having her brother, much less her twin, by her side had to be a breath of fresh, reassuring air.
“I’m glad I found you, sis,” Jack said, grabbing another slice.
“I’m glad too,” she said, taking another sip of the apple juice she was drinking from a goblet in order to feel fancy while we drank beer and wine.
“I know we’ve gone over it already, but seriously, I am sorry I gave you the impression I was on their side,” he said.
“No, you don’t have to apologize,” she said. “There was no reason I should have believed you would. It was so out of character for you. If there is anyone on Earth I should have known I could depend on, it is my brother.”
“Well, two people now,” he said, motioning to me. “Considering he took you in when you had no one and made sure you were safe and then fell in love with you, I think he counts.”
“Of course,” she said. “But I am sorry anyway. I can’t believe I would jump to that conclusion.”
“We were both in bad places,” he said. “Neither one of us was thinking terribly clearly, and you more so than me. It is completely understandable to me that you thought I had left. I don’t want you thinking any more about it, okay?”
