“You asked last week and it’s the same answer. We are together but without huge expectations just yet. It’s still new, just like any new relationship.” I watched Creed deal.

“But you have a history, that has to count for something.” Magnus said.

“It does, we have been very open with our thoughts, and it’s been great. We’ll just have to wait and see what happens.” I wasn’t sure what they wanted to hear.

Creed sat back with his arms crossed as he studied me. “I guess I never realized how miserable you were before she stepped back into your life.”

He was right, and I no longer got stuck back in my bad memories. “She brought along with her an entirely different childhood than I remembered. We still haven’t run out of good memories to talk about, and I really like that we are making new ones.” She was pretty damn hot between the sheets too.

The door upstairs opened, and we all heard footsteps and giggles. It was time for the girls to join us. Morgan rode Melissa’s chair lift down, and Wrenly walked behind her with the other girls. I had to have been smiling ear to ear when she approached, and I pulled her down on my lap.

“Is Morgan feeling better?” I whispered.

“Yeah, she called Melissa. She got to hear for herself that she was fine and Morgan apologized for teasing about Drakos when she heard about the incident in the storage closet with Axton. It sounds like she cares for Drakos too, but she won’t take him back until he can prove that he can act like a grown up. Melissa said he sobbed like a big baby when she told him she’s pregnant. They were not happy tears.” She whispered.

“Of course they weren’t, he’s worried about her.” I whispered back.

“I know, but I’m sure they’ll work it out.” She pecked my cheek then settled in on my lap for the game.

Finding Us

Travis

I couldn’t wait to leave Creed’s. As soon as I got Wrenly in the car, I pulled her into me and kissed her like it had been years since our lips last met. “Get us home, Travis.” She begged in a whisper.

I quickly started the truck, then realized what she said. Home.

“Which place are we calling home tonight?” I glanced at her, and she was putting on her seatbelt, but paused to laugh.

“I guess it doesn’t matter anymore. I’ve got everything I need at your house and you’ve got what you need at mine. Just pick one.”

“Mines closer.” I threw the truck in reverse and turned around to drive out the long as hell paved driveway. She reached over to hold my hand, and I glanced at her to see a beautiful smile. I knew she was worried, so was I, but we agreed to put it out of mind for now. We should know something soon, and we couldn’t change it, whatever happened. I wasn’t going to be angry or sad either way. Wrenly was my world, and I decided to take what God gave us.

I knew we couldn’t just jump right in and change everything. I’d love to ask her to move into my place, but it was too soon. Unfortunately, we weren’t staying together everysingle night. She stayed at her own place on nights I had to be in the command center. We had to let things happen and not rush things. Things sped up after that night in the closet, but if that didn’t happen I don’t know that we would be sleeping together already. She had only been back in my life for a month, and I definitely would have tried to move slower, just to give us time to get to know each other again.

I lifted her hand and kissed it as I pulled out onto the main road. I noticed her eyes on me as I drove. When I glanced at her, I suddenly felt like a piece of meat. She was the lion about to pounce on me as she took off her seat belt.

“What are you doing?”

She was scooting over toward me, and I kept glancing between her and the road. A few memories hit me, ones that used to freak me the hell out.

You’ll be my first kiss.I was seven and it sounded gross.

Someday, when we’re married…Still seven.

What’s a blow job?I was nine, the fuck if I knew.

What is fisting, and can we play it?I was thirteen and could finally run faster than her.

What’s a clit and how do I find it?…Again, I was fourteen and could finally run faster than her. In fact, she might have been the reason I learned to run so fast. Huh, she saved my ass several times in the sandbox and she didn’t even know it.

She was biting on my earlobe and rubbing my cock, but I chuckled, and she stopped.

“What could possibly be so funny?” She asked.

I glanced at her and laughed. “You were a weird kid sometimes.”

She punched my arm. “What the hell, Travis?”
