“Dear,
let the kids be. I think it’s time we head back to our hotel for the night.
Jordan, kiss your sisters and let’s go.”

“Yes,
sir.” He kissed Carrie first, and then Carlie. He clearly wanted to stay but
didn’t ask.

“Mr.
Stevens, Jordan can hang out with us for the night. Why don’t you go show Mrs.
Stevens New York City after dark, have a romantic late dinner or something.”

“Oh,
I’d love that. Thank you, Jackson. Mr. Stevens, let’s go. I’ll have enough time
to freshen up and put on something more appropriate for nighttime sightseeing.”

Carlie’s
father gave each of his daughters a hug and ushered his wife from the house.

“Jackson,
you are my new hero. If I had to hang with them anymore this weekend, I’d shoot
myself. May I go play the game system?”

“Have
at it. Grab a pillow and blanket from the linen closet. You’ll be crashing in
there.”

“
Yes
.” Jordan jackknifed off the chair and
jetted for the media room.

“You
just made his world. He’ll get online with his friends and be up playing all
night.”

“I’m
going to get
Nev
settled back in bed. Jackson, you
sure you don’t want us to go back to the hotel?”

“Nah.
She’ll be more comfortable here. Having everyone around gives me incentive to
finish the rest of the guest rooms now.”

“We
have to clean up, Garrick, you can’t just tuck me in when the place is a mess.”
Nev
got off the couch and joined them.

“I’ll
help him clean up after I have you tucked in.”

“Rosa
will be here in the morning. Leave it. We covered the cake earlier.”

“Night,”
Shea said, standing with Carrie by the door. “Carrie and I are going to get
into something in the city. Jimmy, you and Sam coming with or
stayin
’ here?”

“Sam
wants to go to that arcade in Times Square, the one that serves liquor. She
thinks she’ll beat me at Dance Central.”

“I
don’t know, she looks like she can take you.”

“Princess,
do you want to go hang out with everyone?” Jackson envied that Jimmy was a
sponge when it came to dance and body movement. He could do some damage dancing
but not on the scale Jimmy did.

“Nah.
I’m good hanging in with just you for the night.”

Quality
time alone sounded damn good to his ears. “Okay, well then ya’ll have fun and
we’ll see you later.” The others shuffled out of the door, leaving him alone
with the love of his life. He turned to see her talking quietly on her phone.

“I
know, Mom. Really, there’s nothing to worry about. It’s sweet of you to ask
what my intentions are and I know. I wouldn’t ruin his friendship if what I
didn’t feel was a forever thing.”

Chuckling,
Jackson encircled his arms around Carlie before taking the phone from her.

“Carlie
and I have to go. We have our own plans, enjoy your night out. Okay. Love you
too, Mom.”

“You
just made her day. She’s been trying to get you to call her by her first name
forever. Now she conned you into calling her mom.”

“Nah,
it just felt right. She had that tone with you and then with me. She just wants
all her kids happy. That’s what she just said. Now she can go on a date with
your dad and quit worrying.”

“Princess,
have I ever told you how much I love your family and how having them in my life
has made me a better man?”

“You
don’t need to.” She turned and kissed him. “So what are our plans for the
evening?”

“Why
don’t you grab a blanket and sheet and meet me by the porch door.”

“Okay.
Pillows?”

“If
you want.” Jackson winked and headed to the kitchen. He grabbed a bottle of
champagne, two flutes and the gift he’d bought for her when she’d been shopping
for clothes. Making his way back, he saw her failing to peek over the stack of
bedding. “This is a funny sight.”

“Well
your blankets are fluffy and the pillows are even fluffier.”

Jackson
set the champagne and wine glasses on the floor to rescue Carlie. “Why don’t we
trade?”

“What
do you have planned, Jackson
Laurant
?” His princess
picked up the bottle and glasses.

“Follow
me and find out, Carlie Stevens.” He tucked the bedding under one arm and the
pillows under the other. He led her to his favorite spot on the property, a
clearing overlooking the ocean. The moonlight basking them lit the path. He
stopped and arranged the blanket and pillows and patted a spot next to where he
sat.

“It’s
peaceful here.”

“This
was my mom’s favorite spot. I brought her out at the end. She didn’t want
strangers around and didn’t want to die in the house. She wanted to be out
here, where the wind blew the scent of the ocean and the moon gave her peace.”

“You
are a brave and wonderful man. Not many people would do that for their loved
ones. And yet you did and at such a young age. What you gave her was beautiful and
I’m sure she both cherished and loved you even more for it. You could’ve been
running around with friends, or anything else a normal teen would do.”

“Normal
teen? Is there such a thing? If we’re lucky we survive our teen years.” He
uncorked the bottle and poured them a glass.

“What
are we toasting to?”

“New
beginnings.” He
clinked
his glass and
then drank the bittersweet alcohol. “I have something for you.” He set down the
empty flute and pulled out the Tiffany’s box and opened it for her.

“Jackson,
what a beautiful bracelet. You’ll have to put it on for me though.” She held
out her wrist.

“I
wanted to show you how well I do know you. The cowgirl charm is because I know
you have a strange fetish for country music, but hey, no judgment. The medical
symbol is for your faith in medicine. I fell in love with you the day you threw
your state championship in high school, we were all waiting for you to show and
you never did. You stayed by your teammate’s side until the ambulance came to
take her away. The twin hearts are for two sisters who are polar opposites, but
like the magnet charm, find their way back to one another. I found the monarch
butterfly on accident, but thought it fit you well. I’ve left the rest of the
spaces open because I plan on adding another charm every year until it’s full.
When that happens, I’ll buy another for your other wrist, and then one for each
ankle, because we have forever. Will you marry me?”

“That
is the most beautiful proposal I’ve ever heard in my life.”

“Yeah
well, you’re not an engagement ring girl. I know you hate rings. I also know
you’d still want one. Our problem is if you get a ring before
Nev
gets married, your brother will be gelded.”

Carlie
laughed. “I’m so touched right now I’m speechless.”

“Damn
woman. A man bleeds his heart out for you and you decide to be speechless now?”

“Of
course I’ll marry you. But you’re right, we won’t announce our engagement until
after the babies.”

“Perfect.
Now get over here. I’ve been in hell waiting to see those sexy blue lace
panties and bra.” Jackson stripped off his shirt and jeans. He reclined on the
pillows and watched his fiancé shimmy out of her jeans and pull her top off
over her head. When she stood over him straddling his waist in her sexy
undergarments, his dick lurched hard and ready. The light breeze fanned her
hair out after she took it down. She looked perfect. The silhouette of the moon
gave him perfect light, illuminating her figure.

“
Jacksy
.” She turned away from him, bent over and peeled off
her panties.

“Fuck,
babe.” He stroked his cock as she sat down on him backward, her perfect ass facing
him. Hot wetness encased him as she sank down.

“
Oh my God
.” Her moans echoed in the
wind.

Jackson
gripped her hips and drove his cock in farther. She rode him fast and hard,
eager in taking her own pleasure. Slapping one cheek and then the other, her
flesh warmed under his touch. With each hit, her pussy gushed around him.

“Damn,
princess. Keep gripping me in your hot cunt and I’m not gonna last.” Jackson
lifted her off his dick and kneeled. He pushed her to her stomach and lifted
her hips up. Spreading those perfect cheeks, he slid home in a single deep
stroke.

“Jackson.
I need—”

“I
got you, baby.” He began the slow and steady pace and curled an arm over one
hip, his fingers strumming her clit. In and out, he ignored his tightening
balls and focused on her, on the friction his dick provided, her nub hardened
against his fingers. With each pass, her walls pulsated and began to quake. A
low moan of pleasure escaped her mouth, turning him on. Satin surrounded him,
sucked him in and encased his cock in an endless abyss of pleasure. Carlie
began pumping backward, increasing the pace, setting her own tempo.

“You
need to come, babe? Take over and rub your clit for me. Make yourself come as
I’m fucking you from behind. ” As she strummed her nub with her fingers, he buried
his hands in her hair, and yanked while pounding into her. The sound of wet
flesh slapping and the tip of her finger touching his dick felt surreal. Yeah
she enjoyed being talked dirty to, fucked and having her hair tugged. He yanked
a little harder and grinned at the heady yelp she gave.

“Jackson.”
She climaxed hard.

Jackson
pressed her body down flat. He gripped her hips and plunged into her, the
position making her impossibly snugger. As her convulsing pussy walls ebbed, he
drove in beginning another slow building burn.

“I
can’t, it’s too much.”

“Trust
me, you can and will.” She turned her head to the side, giving him ample
opportunity to devour her lips with his. Locking his fingers with hers, he
shifted his full body weight on her. She pushed back to meet him, sinking her
fingernails into his ass. The pitchy sighs leaving her mouth aroused him to an
all new heights.

“I
love that you’re all mine, that I get to teach you everything about passion and
pleasure. Fuck baby, thank you for that gift.” He wanted to erase the angry crass
words he’d spoken days ago with true ones.

“It’s
always been you.” She breathed into his mouth and bucked up, meeting his
demands for more, deeper. Her hard nipples needed attention. He slid from her
moist heat, rolled her over and trailed a kiss down her jaw, traveling down the
valley of her breasts and over to her nipples, sucking them into his mouth one
by one.
 
Palming her perfect tits, he
moved above her and glided his cock between the bountiful globes. Carlie
flicked her tongue out to lick the head before sucking his tip in and letting
it back out with a pop when he withdrew. She continued her torture with each
pass.

“Fuck
that feels good but I miss the heat of your wet pussy. You ready for more,
princess?”

“
Mmhm
.”

Jackson
kissed his way down her body and sucked her clit in his mouth. “I just need a
taste before I blow in this fine-ass pussy, babe.” He buried his face in her and
went to town, savoring her sweet tang. Carlie fisted a hand in his hair,
tugging at him to come back up. With a grin, he shoved into her core and
brought her to climax. As his own rushed over him in an explosion, she slid her
arms over his back and drew lazy patterns over his skin.

“I
swear we just made a baby.”

“Nothing
would be more perfect.” Carlie kissed his shoulder.

“Except
you’re in school.” He nipped her neck and rolled them so she wasn’t carrying
his full weight, he remained inside her, keeping their intimate contact.

“I
know we’re not ready for that yet. I do have more school, but Jackson people
become parents all the time and figure things out. It’s doable even though not
realistic right now with my school schedule ahead of us and your touring and
traveling. We have forever you know.”

“Yeah,
and I’m not ready to share you yet. I never thought about babies much, at least
not really until today.”

“You
are going to be a great godfather.” She kissed his chest.

“I
think you may be a bit biased, Auntie.” Jackson chuckled and kissed the top of
her head. “I could lay here forever with you.”

“Me
too. I keep thinking I’d like to go whale watching.”

“Really?
We may have to go to Boston or Alaska for that. I can take you shark watching
here.” He grinned.

“Uh,
no thank you. Those things scare me. Even at aquariums, I wonder how people can
get into tanks with them.”

“They’re
trained in marine life. We could go on a trip and book a swimming date with
sharks, the kind that are not dangerous.”

“Jackson
you are crazy. All sharks are dangerous.” Carlie laughed. “Next you’ll tell me
you’d stick your head in an alligator’s mouth.”

“That’s
not going to happen. But I did have a pet snake once. I kept it until it grew
five feet long. One day, he got loose and my mom had a fit. We had to call out
a snake whisperer to get him to come back.”
