I placed my hand in the crook of his elbow then we started up the driveway.
For some reason, my pace was slowing.
And Alec missed nothing.
Therefore, he asked, “What is it?”
I looked down at the pretty dusky pink full-length, long-sleeved maxi dress I had on, and asked, “Am I dressed, okay?”
He stopped, then smiled down at me, “Cupcake, first thing we’re doing when we get home, I’m pulling that dress up and fucking you against the back of the couch.”
I slapped him on his chest, “Don’t say shit like that when we’re about to walk into your parents’ home.”
Garrick chuckled as he held Sage’s little hand and Tatum’s in his other hand, “Don’t go into the powder room then.”
Tatum gasped, “Honey.”
“Two hundred and seventy-nine.” He replied.
I frowned.
Tatum winked, then she mouthed, “Later.”
Alec tagged me along beside him, and then he opened the door.
Once we walked in, I took in the country vibe to the home and whispered, “I’d love to have something like this one day.”
Alec lifted a brow, “Yeah?”
I nodded.
He smiled, “I can make that happen.”
To say I was shocked would be an understatement.
And before I could reply, I was tagged by Harlee, Lila, Everly, and Talia, as was Tatum, and we headed into the kitchen to see Misty.
She winked at me, “Glad you're better, hun.”
I smiled, “I am. Much. Thank you.”
We helped her get things ready, and then we were shooed to the living room to wait.
Laughter bounded throughout the home, and Alec wrapped his arms around me from behind.
Then Misty called out, “Dinner’s ready. Come and eat.”
Alec guided me to the table in the dining room, winked, and then pulled my chair out for me.
Frank chuckled, “Knew my boy had some manners.”
Alec leaned down and whispered, “He wouldn’t be saying that if he knew about the shower sex this morning.”
My cheeks flamed, and I slapped his leg, “Hush.”
He chuckled, then took his seat beside me.
Platters of food were passed around.
