I Never Knew Love 'til You (I Never 4)

“You know, this living arrangement is pretty convenient for us. It’s like a one-stop shop. Lauren can walk across the street to Kate’s, and I can hang out here.”

Finn continues talking, but I tune him out as my mind drifts to what it felt like to finally have Kate in my bed. It was more than I imagined each time my fist wrapped around my cock with thoughts of her swirling around my brain.

“Jax,” he shouts and snaps his finger in my face.

“Huh?” I whip my head to the left to find Finn staring at me with furrowed brows.

“Did you hear me at all?”

I run my palm over the back of my neck. This woman is already consuming me, and that terrifies me, yet I’m too invested to stop now.

“Sorry, I’m just tired. Long night.” I scrub my hands over my face.

“Hey, Daddy,” Andy calls out from the couch. “Can Miss Kate sleep in my room next time?”

Finn quirks an eyebrow and turns to face Andy. “Did Miss Kate spend the night, buddy?” Finn tickles him, and giggles fill the room as Finn lifts him up to sit on his lap.

“Yeah, but she slept in Daddy’s room. I heard her in there this morning, even though she thinks she was hiding. She’s not very good at playing hide-and-seek. Maybe you can teach her. You’re the best at it.”

“Huh,” Finn snorts. His eyes move to me, and he gives me a knowing smirk before diverting his attention back to his godson. “Maybe we will have to show Miss Kate how to hide better.”

“Hey, Andy. Why don’t you go get dressed and we can head out?” Anything to avoid little ears hearing the third degree I know I have in store for me at any moment.

“Be right back.” Andy hops off Finn’s lap and runs up the stairs. “Don’t leave without me,” he shouts.

“We won’t,” Finn and I reply in unison.

Just as Finn opens his mouth to interrogate me, the front door opens, and in walk the Lawson sisters. Kate looks freshly showered with her hair pulled up on top of her head in a messy bun.

Lauren goes straight to Finn’s side, and he pulls her down into his lap.

Kate stands there hesitantly. If we’re going to work whatever this is out between us, that’s not going to work for me. I close the distance between us and swoop her into my arms. She gasps, surprised at my public display of affection, and I’d be lying if I didn’t say it surprised me as well. I kiss her as if it’s been days since her lips last touched mine—not a matter of hours.

“Well, good morning to you, too.” Lauren’s sassy tone causes a laugh from her sister. I tug Kate against my chest, wrapping my arms around her shoulders. “How come you don’t say good morning like that to me?” Lauren jokes, turning to her husband.

Finn nuzzles into his wife’s neck. “That’s because I saygood morning with my tongue in your pussy instead of in your mouth most days.”

I shake my head at his abrasiveness. Thank fuck Andy is still upstairs.

“Ah la la la la,” Kate singsongs with her fingers in her ear. Hmm, that’s not a bad way to wake Kate up.

“Reynolds - 1, Lawson - 0,” Finn teases and winks at Kate as she finally pulls her fingers free and settles back against my chest. My fingers dance along her back.

“And don’t worry, babe. That’s not good morning. It seems these two had a slumber party last night.” Cupping his mouth as if he were playing a game of telephone, he whispers dramatically to his wife, “A naked one.”

I choke on air, and Kate slaps my back while Lauren’s eyes first go as wide as saucers, and then the same mischievous smile that is on her husband’s lips appears on hers. Lord only knows what’s going on in their heads right now.

The amount of rumbling coming down the stairs clearly sounds like a stampede headed our way and not just my four-year-old son running down them.

His smile widens as soon as he sees Lauren and Kate. “Miss Kate, you’re back.” A snicker from the peanut gallery behind me has me flipping Finn the middle finger behind my back.

“Auntie Lo!” Lauren slides off Finn’s lap and crouches down to the floor, holding her arms out as Andy lunges straight for her. I think if her back wasn’t partially resting against Finn’s knee, she would probably topple over with Andy in her arms. She lifts him up with ease, and he wraps his arms around her neck, clinging to her.

“I missed you, little man.”

“You just saw me,” he giggles as she peppers kisses all over his face.

Lauren pulls back, with her face still toward him but her eyes wandering over to where her sister and I stand. “A lot can happen in just a few days. Hey, Andy, what do you say you ride with me and Uncle Finn to the restaurant and we give Daddy and Miss Kate some alone time?”

Anyone who’s not a child could understand the innuendo in her voice when she says “alone time.”

Andy thrashes his arms excitedly, and Lauren has to be quick on her feet to hold him tighter. Andy stops moving and waves his little hand for Lauren to come closer. He “whispers” in a tone that, unlike Finn’s, he actually thinks is being quiet. “Can I pick the music?”

Kate shuffles in my arms, and my fingers tighten my hold on her instinctively.

“Of course, little dude. I always like your music choice better than Uncle Finn’s,” she teases back.

Finn scoffs as he rises from the couch and swoops Andy right out of his wife’s arms. “Hey, I have great taste in music. Now, what do you say we go get some grub?”

“Yes!” Andy pumps his fist in the air as Finn carries him out the front door, and Lauren follows.

Kate shifts and follows her sister, but I quickly snatch her hand to stop her. I step up behind her and press my body against her back. “You look beautiful, by the way. Although I think I prefer the Kate Lawson freshly fucked look.” She shivers in my arms, and my smile widens at my effect on her.

Kate spins in my arms and loops her arms around my neck. “Sorry, I reeked of sex.”

I’m not sure I see a problem with that. My cock stiffens at not only the feeling of her in my arms but the memory of last night… and this morning.

“Well, I can arrange for that to be your new perfume.”
