Surrendering (Surrender 1)

I move over so he can shower while I shave my legs. It seems so domestic, us being so comfortable together. I think about what it would be like to live together and how it would feel to do this every day.

When I put the razor down he pins me against the tile wall.

“You have no idea how excited I get watching you bend over like that while you shave. Your ass was almost touching my cock and all I wanted to do was slide into you.”

“I wouldn’t have stopped you. All I can think about is how awesome last night was.”

“Babe, we gotta get dressed and get you home. I promised Will we’d be there around noon and when I jumped in here, it was almost 11:00. We’ll have a lot more time next weekend when you aren’t under bodyguard watch.”

“Promises, promises.”

“We’ll need to stay at your place tonight since Will is officially back on duty. But we have no plans tomorrow. Maybe we can see your dad when he gets back in town and figure out what’s happening.”

“Sounds good to me.”

When we get back to my house, Robbie, Finn, and Will are already setting up for a day of football in the living room. I guess Robbie had talked my dad out of having a bodyguard on him since he’s staying close to me and Will. I still have no doubts that they all have their pieces hidden somewhere.

Declan joins the boys in the living room while I start my laundry and clean my room. Abbi and Ella are out running errands, so I join the guys for awhile. I get bored of football really quick and decided to pop in a yoga DVD and get some exercise.

I’m halfway through my routine when I bend backwards and find Declan standing in my doorway watching me. He has an unreadable look on his face.

We stare at each other for a minute before he breaks the silence.

“You’re fucking kidding me.” He adjusts the bulge in his pants. I’m still leaning backwards in an almost pretzel like pose. “Baby, have you always been this flexible?”

“Yeah, after a few warm-ups, I’m pretty limber.”

“You just gave me a whole lotta ideas. When your bodyguard is off duty, I’m gonna lock you in my house for days. I can’t keep my dick down around you.”

I untwist and pull him into a long kiss. We’re just about ready to get carried away when my brother yells, “Declan, you better be taking a shit because if I come in there and find my sister wrapped around you again, I’ll kick your ass. Birthday or no birthday, she’s still my sister.”

I smile against his lips, “You better get back out there.”

“Do me a favor, when you come out, please put on some more clothes. It’s hard enough seeing you in here with almost nothing on. But if you prance around the house in this, I may get my ass-kicked.”

“Okay, I’ll throw on a t-shirt. Do you have what you need here for your show tonight, or do you have to go home?”

“I have it all here. I need to leave by 7:00.” He kisses me quickly and shuts the door behind him. I try to finish the DVD, but have trouble concentrating. I keep thinking that over the last several months, my life has changed drastically. I have my own place and two of the best roommates I could ever ask for. My brother and Finn are basically recovered and doing well. I have a boyfriend that keeps clothes in my closet and hangs out with my brother for poker and football. And I’m completely in love. Who would have known so much could happen in five months?

Abbi and Ella finally return home and they’re loaded down with bags. They disappear into the back bedrooms and Declan joins them.

Kendall, Charlie, and Harper will be here soon to start getting ready. Kendall is going to do my hair and make-up so I just need to figure out what to wear. I’d really like to be dressed before Harper and Charlie try to pick out my outfit.

I take a quick shower because I know Declan has to leave shortly. I throw on my robe and head to my closet to start the grueling process of choosing a dress. When I open the bathroom door I see Declan sitting on my bed. The room is mostly dark except for the soft glow coming from my bedside lamp. There’s a gorgeous black dress on the bed with silver sparkles throughout the bodice and a pair of bright red pumps.

“Declan, what’s this?”

“This is part of your birthday present. I found this outfit last week and had the girls buy you shoes to match it. I think it’ll fit, but if not, I got another one in a different size.”

“Dec, it’s beautiful. It’s a little dressy for The Steamroom, don’t you think?”

“No, babe, this is your birthday and you’re the star of the show. I asked the salesgirl to find me a dress that’s classy chic and rocker girlfriend- this is what she picked.”

“Hun, where exactly did you go?”

“Some place called Baybay in Green Hills. I liked what I saw in the windows.”
