And there would never be any mistaking that undercurrent of sex.
But it was what was bound within it that held me.
Secured me.
His love and his loyalty.
That stark ferocity that promised he would forever stand at our sides. Fight for us the same way as I would forever stand for him.
“This is it,” I whispered.
“You getting cold feet?” Theo let go of the tease. The man smirking my way as we stood at the threshold of our new home.
Our forever home.
Whether it was within the walls or not, that’s what this represented.
“I gotco-wedfeet,” Finn said in his adorable drawl, kicking out one of his snow boots.
Theo chuckled.
Low and dark and deep.
It sent a soothing rush of calm over me.
“Well, we’d better get inside before we stand out here freezing to death, yeah?” he said.
“Thank the lord. Thought I was gonna turn into a popsicle standing out here in the cold,” Nelly muttered under her breath as she shuffled around us, carrying her overnight bag.
The rest of our belongings had already been brought over by Kane and Theo.
She went right for the door and tossed it open.
“Make yourself at home,” Theo called behind her, a hint of sarcasm coloring his voice.
“Plan to, and this time you’re really not going to be able to drag me out of here,” she tossed out from over her shoulder before she disappeared inside.
Light laughter vibrated in my chest, and Theo chuckled. “We have our hands full with her, don’t we?”
“No,wifme, myFeo.” Finn bounced in Theo’s hold.
Warmth skated from Theo. “Definitely have my hands full with you. All of you.”
Then he squeezed my hand tighter before he gave it a tug. “Come on, let’s get inside.”
He led us in.
It wasn’t like it was the first time I’d been there, but it felt like it.
Like wonder and awe as I stepped through the door and took in the surroundings.
The kitchen and living room. The insane view of the lake that stole my breath.
Tingles rolled through me when I glanced at the flames lapping in the fireplace where Theo had me for the first time.
As if he heard my thoughts, he pressed his mouth to my ear. “Prepare yourself, Pipes. Gonna have you in every spot of this house.”
Need raced, and I tucked it down for later as Theo started up the stairs.
