Page 69 of Returning to Everton

“Don’t tempt me, Rowen. I’ll carry you right to my bedroom and spank your ass,” Nate growls at me and I clench my pussy and moan.

I jump off of Kayden’s lap before someone starts something they can’t finish, and I turn to Hudson. “Are you really closing the bakery today?”

He looks down at his watch, “Well, considering we should have been open by now, I’m gonna say yeah. We can be closed today. I wanna spend the day with you anyway. Declan already agreed to watch Violet today. Let’s go out. Just you and me.”

I look around to see if the other guys are okay with that.

“Don’t look at us like that Rowe. Do whatever you want. Nothing changes, you can go out with any one of us any time you want. The only change is we can finally kiss you, and hopefully more,” Nate winks at me. “And most importantly, we get to call you ours.”

“Awwww, Nate.” I lean over and kiss him. It’s just a soft and sweet kiss to his lips. “Thank you, I’m sorry I need so much reassurance, but this is new and it’s going to take me a while to accept it’s okay and no one is going to get mad if I do something with someone else.”

“None of us are going to fight over you, Rowen. Trust me, we’ve talked about how this would work foryears.We understand the whole concept is new to you. We don’t mind constantly reassuring you.” Hudson tells me gently.

I look to the twins for confirmation and when they nod, I smile at my guys. I still love thinking of them as mine. “Okay then. I’d love to do something with you today Hudson. It seems my boss has given me the day off,” I tease. “What are we going to do?”

“It’s a surprise.”

“Is that code for you have no idea?” I ask him.

The other guys laugh and agree that’s probably the case.

“Oh hush, it’s not like I planned this you know. We were supposed to be at work. But I’ll gladly take you on our first date instead. Just give me a minute to decide where exactly that will be.”

I giggle. “Okay, Hudson. Take all the time you need. I’m not going anywhere. You’re stuck with me now.”

Ayden wraps his arm around my waist from behind and runs his nose up my neck. “Exactly what I want to be. Stuck with you,” he says with his lips against my neck. I wiggle in his hold and he squeezes me tighter.

“Alright, If Hud is going to take Rowe out, we might as well go to work Ayden,” Kayden tries to convince his brother to let go of me. I don’t think it’s going to work.

“I don’t want to. I’m gonna stand right here and hold my woman until one of you takes her away from me,” Ayden responds. “She feels too good in my arms.”

I squeeze his arms around me and turn to kiss him. “I’ll see you when you get home, okay Ayden? Go on to work. You’re not going to miss anything. I’ll even let you guys come over and cook me dinner tonight,” I tell him, as well as the other guys. Since they’re all invited.

“Okay, Lovely. Have fun with Hud and call me if you need me,” Kayden spins me around and places a passionate kiss on me and I melt in his arms.

“Thanks, Kayden. I will.”

Ayden is next. Like he’s in some kind of competition with his brother, he kisses me just as passionately before pulling away. Nate steps up to me and wraps his arm around me. He pulls me into his chest and devours my mouth. Nate feels like he’s making up for lost time when he kisses me. He finally pulls away and I can breathe again.

“Have fun baby. I’ll go help Declan with the kids,” Nate gives me one last kiss then walks away.

“Alright, Hud. Where are we going? Do I need to go home and change?”

“Absolutely not. You look perfect. And it’s still a surprise. Nice try.” he smirks at me. “But I’m ready to go whenever you are, Sugar.”

I huff, “Fine. Let’s go.”

We say our goodbyes to everyone and head back out to Hudson’s SUV. I have no idea where we’re going, but this should be fun.

Rowen

We head out of town, and I start to question Hudson again. Where could he be taking me? He tells me to be quiet and just enjoy the ride. I decide to take his advice and stare out the window as we drive further away from home. Hudson reaches over and places his hand on my thigh. I look up at him and smile. This is the kind of thing I have to look forward to now. Going out on spontaneous dates and sweet touches.

We make a couple of turns, but I have no idea where we are. After driving for about an hour, we come up to a sign in front of a dirt road. The sign reads ‘Moonlight Merlot Winery’.

I snap my head towards Hudson. “We’re going to a winery?!”
