Color of Forgiveness (67 page)

When he opens the bedroom door, he startles
slightly when he finds her standing in front of him, smiling up at
him, her eyes a bit watery. “What's wrong?” he asks, frowning.

“The baby monitor.”

“Shit. You'd think after four kids, I'd
remember you can hear me on that damn thing.”

“You're an amazing father.”

“You're an amazing mother.” With his eyes on
hers, he reaches behind him and locks the door. He pulls her into
his arms and doesn't waste any time. “Did you keep your pussy wet
for me?” he asks against her neck.

She giggles. “Yes.”

“Good. Because my cock wants your pussy in a
really bad way right now,” he whispers.

Myra snickers. “He does, huh?”

“Yeah, he's a desperate little fucker. He
can't get enough of you, ever. He always wants you.”

“My pussy does seem to like your cock.”

“She does?”

“Yeah, she likes him a lot.”

“He's wanting her fast and hard tonight. Is
she okay with that?”

“Hmm… I don’t know. You better touch her and
see what her answer is.”

Dylan groans and moves his hand from her ass
to between her legs. He pushes her panties to the side and slides
his fingers through her wetness. His cock immediately gets
harder.

“Fuck, Myra, you’re so damn wet. I want you,
baby. I wanna fuck you up against this door.”

Myra moans and grabs him around the neck,
bringing his lips to hers in a crushing kiss. His hands can't seem
to touch enough skin. They've been together for so long yet he
still wants her the same way he did that first night they were
together so many years ago. Like time and kids and familiarity has
changed nothing between them.

“
Yes
,” she moans quietly, digging her
fingers into his hair. He plunges his finger inside of her, causing
her to cry out.

“I'm gonna make you come on my fingers then
on my cock,” he rasps against her neck gently biting on the skin
there.

Within minutes, he pushes her over the edge,
feeling her pulsating against his fingers while she whispers his
name over and over again.

“Jesus, I can't wait to get my cock in your
pussy,” he practically growls as he shoves his pajama bottoms and
boxers down. Immediately, he picks her up, pressing her against the
back of the door and shoves himself deep inside her, not even
bothering to remove her panties.

“Oh my god,” she groans.

“So fucking good,” he whispers as he begins
thrusting. “It’s always so fucking good with you, baby.”

“Always…”

Dylan trails his frantic lips all over
Myra’s warm skin… on her sweet lips, her soft neck, against her
ear. One hand grips her ass while the other cups her breast,
flicking his thumb against her nipple. Her wet heat wrapped around
his cock feels incredible. His thrusts get more erratic and faster.
Myra hangs onto his shoulders as he fucks her hard with
abandon.

“Fuck. I'm gonna cum,” he groans, thrusting
harder. “I can't hold off.”

“Let it go, baby.”

“Here it comes,” he pants, as he lets it go,
his release pulsing hot inside of her. He thrusts rapidly over and
over again while he rides out his orgasm, grunting and groaning
against her ear.

Finally, he stops his movements, dropping
his head against her neck, trying to catch his breath. He can feel
himself shaking.

“Are you okay?” Myra asks, pushing his hair
back from his sweaty forehead.

“No
. Holy fuck…
I came so damn hard,
I'm actually shaking.”

“Baby, put me down and go sit on the
bed.”

Dylan smiles at her. “No, I'm good. That was
just pretty fucking incredible,” he says before kissing her softly.
“How can it be so good after all these years?”

Myra laughs. “I don't know. I was just
thinking the same thing. Every time with you is amazing.”

“You know I can't get enough of you. I'll
never be able to get enough of you, ever.”

“I don't want you to ever get enough of
me.”

“I won't,” he says, touching her lips softly
with his and sealing that promise.

A few nights later with Matthew in his arms,
Dylan follows Myra into the bedroom and watches her change for
dinner.

“What?” she asks, looking up at him and
smiling as she slips on her shoes.

He just shakes his head, grinning.
“Nothing…”

“It’s not nothing… you’ve been sitting there
the whole time, grinning crazily at me. What’s going on?”

Matthew blows a loud raspberry, causing him
to chuckle. He stands and pulls Myra to him and kisses her lips
gently. “I’m just happy. Things are so good right now. Business is
great, you’re pregnant again and with the news about Nick and
Jackie getting to adopt again…”

“I know. We have so much to be thankful for,
don’t we? And I’m so excited for Nick and Jackie. I can’t believe
they’re getting a little girl this time; Jackie is literally about
to die. I swear my ear started getting over-heated yesterday with
how fast she was talking. Little Jaden will be getting a baby
sister soon.”

“When did you say the baby was due?”

“In six weeks.”

“Wow. That’s great.”

“I know. I’m so thrilled for them,” Myra
says with a smile. “Just make sure you act surprised tonight at
dinner because Nick is going to announce it. They just got the call
about the adoption yesterday, and she couldn't wait to tell
someone. And I wasn't supposed to tell you either.”

Dylan laughs. “Jackie couldn't keep a secret
if her life depended on it.”

“I know.”

They get the kids loaded into the SUV and
head to his parent's house for dinner. Dylan carries Matthew into
the noisy, loud house packed with people. He smiles as he watches
Megan make a mad dash to Jilly. Their friendship reminds him of Mel
and Joseph’s friendship so long ago. Madison tags happily along
after them, idolizing both of the older girls. Joseph, a teenager
now, ruffles Max’s hair. Dylan can't believe that Mel would be a
teenager now if he were still alive.

“Are you ready to go play some videogames?”
Joseph asks Max.

Max agrees excitedly and the two take off to
the basement.

Dylan bites back a groan when he sees his
mom and Nat charging towards him.

“I get him first,” Nat says, reaching for
Matthew.

“No way,” Sherri says, elbowing Nat out of
the way. “I'm your elder and
his
Maw-maw. I get first
dibs.”

“But you see him practically every day. I'm
lucky if I see him once or twice a week.”

“I don't care. Now scat.”

Dylan chuckles as he watches Natalie pout,
and he hands Matthew over to his mother. For a moment, Dylan feels
sorry for his son when he sees his mother practically smothering
him in kisses, but he smiles when Matthew throws his head back,
breaking out into giggles. There's something special about seeing
his mom loving on his child like that; it gives him a warm, funny
feeling in his chest.

His dad – followed by Nick and Chad – steps
into the room. He, Chad and his dad talk animatedly about the new
construction project while Nick quietly listens in. The women all
move to the kitchen, talking non-stop.

Half an hour later, they all gather around
the table for dinner. They had to set up another table because both
Jay and Jackson have their girlfriends with them.

“May I have everyone's attention please?”
Nick says as he stands and taps on his wineglass.

Dylan looks around the table, frowning.
Everyone is acting weird, clearing their throats and avoiding
looking at Nick.

Nick’s eyes narrow and he looks down at
Jackie sitting next to him holding 2-year-old Jaden in her arms.
“What?” she asks innocently.

Nick’s eyes dart around the table again.
“Does everyone know what I'm about to announce?” he demands.

A flood of 'oh, no's,' wash across the
room.

“
Jackie?”
Nick says his expression
fierce.

“Sorry,” she says in a mouse-like voice. “I
couldn't help it. I was so excited I just had to tell somebody. I
first told Myra. I was only planning on telling her. But then your
mom called me last night, and it kind of slipped out, and she was
over at Natalie’s house so I kind of told her, too, and I didn't
mean to, but I was just so happy and…”

Nick pulls Jackie out of her chair, and
wraps his arms around her and Jaden and plants a big kiss on her
lips.

Everyone starts cheering and clapping. “What
am I going to do with you?” Nick asks laughing as he stares down at
Jackie.

“Nick, sweetie?” Sherri calls out to him. “I
think you should still go ahead and make your announcement. We'll
all pretend we didn't know about it.”

Nick grins, looking around the table. He
takes Jaden from Jackie’s arms and kisses him on the cheek.
“Everyone… Jackie and I just found out that we're adopting again.
It’s a baby girl who will be arriving in six weeks. Jaden’s going
to have a baby sister.”

Dylan chuckles at everyone’s ‘fake’
reactions. The kids all go crazy clapping and jumping up and down
with excitement. Sherri hangs her mouth open, putting both hands on
the sides of her face Macaulay Culkin-style her eyes big and
dancing with laughter. All of the kids immediately start imitating
her. Natalie who is holding Matthew laughs loudly as Chad shouts,
“You better pick up some more hours at the hospital, dude!” Dennis
just smiles and shakes his head before taking another drink of
wine.

Dylan looks at Myra and sees tears shining
in her eyes. He wraps his arm around her and pulls her against him.
“You okay?” he whispers.

“Yeah, I'm just emotional. I love your
family so much.”

“Oh wait!” Sherri shouts, causing Dylan to
look up. “This is so exciting because we’re going to have so many
new babies around here since Myra’s pregnant again.”

Dylan’s mouth drops open and his eyes widen.
He hears Myra gasping beside him. He quickly looks down at her.
“What the... Did you tell her?”

“
No,
” she says, her eyes wide with
shock.

Dylan looks back at his mom. “How did
you…”

She smiles and shrugs. “It was just my
granny senses kicking in.”

“I can’t believe you,” Dylan growls. “How
could you—” He stops talking when Myra puts her hand on his thigh
and squeezes. Frowning, he looks down at her.

“Don’t, baby, that’s our family,” she says,
smiling.

He stares at her for a long moment before he
finally chuckles and shakes his head. “I still want to kill her,”
he says in a low voice, causing Myra to giggle. “But you’re right…
it is
our
family.”

Smiling, Myra nods. “
Our
family,” she
whispers, snuggling closer to Dylan.
