Playfully hitting my chest, she laughed. “Nope. Just half of it. You never know when a girl is going to need a certain outfit.”
Smiling against her soft blonde hair, I grinned. “You’re right. I’ve got a few things planned for us this week.”
Turning, Lauren looked into my eyes as she raised her eyebrows. “Oh yeah? What kind of things?”
“The kind of things that are for me to know and you to find out.”
Lifting up, Lauren turned and rested her hand and chin on my chest. “Surprises? Oh, I like surprises!”
Her eyes sparkled with excitement as she talked. Lauren had always loved surprises. Since I could remember she would beg her mom to throw her a surprise birthday party. Jessie never could get one planned because Lauren would snoop around for clues and always ended up finding out about the party. This year though, she would be surprised. Lauren’s birthday was in July but because of football practice this summer, I was going to be gone over her birthday. I was throwing her a surprise party at the end of June, and there would be no way she would catch on.
Tapping the tip of her nose with my finger, I laughed. “I know you like surprises. Come on, the faster we leave, the faster we get home.”
Lauren jumped out of bed and headed into the bathroom, but not before glancing over her shoulder and saying, “I’m taking a quick shower.”
My dick jumped as I smiled and followed her into the bathroom. This woman has bewitched me, heart and soul.
HOLDING MIREYA IN my arms, I walked around the room talking to her. Libby was deep in conversation with Alex and Maegan. They had been talking about something that had been going on with Maegan at school. I wanted to pay attention to the conversation, but my heart was lost to a four-month-old blue-eyed beauty that was currently giving me a huge smile.
“That’s right. You love your Aunt Lauren the best, don’t you, baby girl?” Mireya began doing that adorable little baby talk as my heart melted even more. Luke walked up to me with the biggest smile I’d ever seen.
“She’s addictive, isn’t she?” Luke asked as he leaned over and kissed his daughter on the head.
Giggling, I said, “Very addictive.”
Looking back down at the baby my heart did a crazy flip. I wonder what mine and Colt’s kids would look like? Wait. Whoa. Slow down on that line of thinking there, Lauren. We had only been dating a month, but it seemed liked it had been longer. So much longer.
Colt came walking up behind Luke with a drop dead gorgeous smile on his face. Yep. If we had a little girl, I wanted her to have light-brown hair . . . curly . . . light-brown hair. Blue eyes like the sky right after a rain shower moves through. She would have her daddy’s dimples and my nose. Oh, for sure she’d have my nose. Closing my eyes, I thought about my stomach growing with Colt’s baby. Snapping them back open, I got control of these crazy thoughts.
Peeking over to Colt, my stomach dropped. The way he was looking at Mireya had my insides turning all gooey. His hand came up as he pushed her hair back and chuckled. “She has so much hair, you could put those little Velcro bows in it.”
Dear God. He knew about the little Velcro bows? My heart was gonna explode. He kept talking and my insides kept melting. “Wow! Her eyelashes are so long.” Glancing at me quickly, he gave me a wink. “Isn’t she so precious?”
If I hadn’t been holding the baby, I would have dropped to the floor and told Colt to take me. The throbbing between my legs was unreal. I was ready to blow off this little party Grace had organized and take Colt back to my house and have my wicked way with him.
Licking my lips, I couldn’t pull my eyes from Colt, who was now gazing down at Mireya and talking baby talk to her.
I felt someone come up next to me. Hot breath was next to my ear as Grace whispered, “Don’t even think about it.”
Snapping my head to her, I asked, “What?”
She narrowed her eye at me as she tilted her head. “Please, I see it all over your face. This party is for you, missy! Calm the hormones and put them to rest.”
Colt’s head bolted up, “What? What’s going on?”
Grace scooped the baby from my arms and gave her a kiss on the cheek. “Nothing for you to worry about, Colt.” Snuggling her nose into the crook of Mireya’s neck, Grace went on. “Isn’t that right my sweet little niece? The big bad boys have to leave so the girls can get their party on.”
Luke chuckled and asked, “Why am I worried, Grace?”
Grace looked up at Luke, lips parted open in a state of surprise. “I have no idea what you are talking about, big brother. I simply planned a little get-together with all my girls. We need some one-on-one time. Besides, Lauren asked me for a bit of advice a few weeks back, so I’ve invited a friend of mine to help her with the subject.”
Looking at Grace with a confused expression, she moved her tongue in her mouth and pushed her cheek out.
Sucking in a breath, I knew instantly what she was talking about. Blow jobs! Grace was having a Blow Job workshop party. Oh my glitter! This just turned into something totally different.
“Shut up!” I said as I smiled at Grace.
Giving me a slight pop of her head, she said, “I told you I wouldn’t let you down.”
