True Intention

Ch 37🌶️- Our boy's birthday...

Naomi POV

I had mixed feelings about warmer weather.

I hate summer, big shocker, but spring wasn't that bad. However, I loved the cold winter. I just wanted to keep spending the night tucked full-body against Ren. He was warm like a f*****g heater. Apparently, he had failed to mention his plans to propose to our friends, though he had gotten permission from both sets of parents. Our friends had been a little miffed that they'd been left out, but quickly got over it when we started planning something for Ren's birthday. We were taking a trip back to Covington to celebrate with Ren's family, all of us in one SUV.

Archer's vehicle had third row seating, so he won the privilege of driving.

I was finally going to meet Rylan and Sarah.

I had ordered a viking ring, arm ring, and drinking horn from HearthfireNordicWare on Etsy. Handmade of silver (other than the horn of course), they were not nearly as fancy as my engagement ring, but I knew he'd love them for their raw artistry. I had been scanning for stuff and it just seemed to scream "Ren."

This was how I usually found gifts for people, random searching till something spoke to me. I would just know it on sight, without any help. Sometimes, it would be something that wasn't what a person had even said they liked, but my instincts were never wrong. I hoped this time I was just a spot-on as usual.

We took the Friday off and started out in the morning, with a slightly harrowing snow-filled drive over Snoqualmie. In the interest of not getting stuck on the pass, we'd hit up the Burger King drive-thru. We'd kinda stocked up on sandwiches just in case. The staff probably hated us for ordering twelve whoppers without coming inside, but oh well. The ride was lively and full of laughter. Several times, I just watched our friends. Ren and I had taken the very back seat. I knew he wanted it so he could be dirty, but Enzo was checking often enough that he couldn't really get away with anything.

We may be engaged, but this was not our car.

When we arrived, Claudia ushered us all in. It wasn't snowing at Ren's parents' place like it was in Eastern Washington, but it was still pretty chilly. All the crew from Christmas was present, plus a pretty black-haired girl in a wheelchair, and a young man that was clearly Heidi's brother.

Sarah and Rylan, of course. He tried to push her chair but she glared at him and rolled herself to me as I descended into the living room. She smiled brightly at me and stuck out her hand.

"Sarah Emmet, a friend of Soren's." She announced. The red-haired man spoke up from behind her as I shook her hand.

"And I'm another friend of Ren's. Rylan Erickson." He grinned, and I nodded. Their vibe was exactly what I had expected. Kind and easy-going.

"I'm Naomi Ward." I said cheerfully. Sarah tugged on Rylan's shirt to come closer to her and he bent his ear next to her mouth.

"They weren't kidding about her being gorgeous, were they?" She said, not at all quietly. She grinned as Rylan just laughed. He looked around, as if he were checking for Ren.

"No, my love, they were not. She's definitely a looker." He agreed, winking at me, then looked back down at Sarah. "But in my eyes, babe, you're always the prettiest." She scoffed but turned a pretty shade of pink. They were so cute together, and I liked them immediately.

A bunch of snacks had been laid out on the coffee table, along with some drinks on ice. Mostly sodas and seltzers. Alcohol I'm sure, was available, as this was Ren's twenty-first. Just not laid out on the table, I guess. Everyone was staying the night. Miraculously, there was a guest room Claudia had "cleaned out" that Sarah and Rylan could use.

Hmm, cleaned out for them, but I'd had to sleep in Soren's room? Pfft.

She was not fooling anyone. Well, I guess this time I could oblige her and not feel I was being disrespectful by giving in to her tease of a son every time he pulled me into a damn corner. Our friends were bunking on the two sofas in the entertainment area in the basement, which also, to my utter shocker, turned out to be sleeper sofas.

Imagine that!

Ren had grinned widely at me when he realized what his mom had been trying to do, then kissed my neck right there in front of everyone, who just aww'd and went back to talking. It was a lively party. Ren's gifts were awesome but reasonable. More edgy and cool techwear from his grandparents, and his mom clearly knew how much he loved bamboo modal. His brothers got him what seemed to be computer stuff, though f**k if I know what any of it did. Ren seemed excited, though. Our friends coordinated on replenishing his art supplies. My gift was last.

My hands shook a little bit as I handed it to him. His eyes met mine in silent reassurance, his thumb rubbing my engagement ring as he took the gift from me. He had been overtly touching it and showing it off every chance he got. Probably happy to have a ring on my finger at all, to keep any competitors at bay.

As if anyone had the balls to get close with Ren constantly latched on to me!

But I admit, I liked it.

Ren carefully opened the package and his delight was obvious. I let out a breath I'd been holding. He held the ring out for me to slide on, practically vibrating with excitement. I was just glad I'd picked well, not to mention the right size, purely on instinct. Ren's family all left us to celebrate in the basement and retired pretty early, like ten pm. His parents had supplied all of us alcohol and weed gummies (legal in Washington though you're supposed to be 21, just like the drinking age).

They had said to only get one gummy in a four-hour period, until we knew how we'd respond. It made me so f*****g horny and relaxed. I'm not encouraging anything, just saying how I personally felt. Substances affect everyone differently. Video games, pool, drinking games, and swimming rounded out the evening. Everyone decided to retire around midnight, Rylan carrying Sarah back upstairs.

Once I was back in Ren's room, he pushed me against the wall, one of his favorite things, it seemed, his mouth lighting my body up like a bonfire. There was a desperation, an urgency that was new. His hands were all over, and my brain could barely keep up as he sensually dragged his fingertips over my face, my breasts, my abdomen, and my thighs, followed by hot, wet kisses.

"What's wrong?" I gasped, panting at the tension building inside my core. His lips landed on my neck near my ear. I shivered. He pulled back slightly, his eyes like a kaleidoscope of emotion as he looked into mine. Whoa.

"You bought me a ring babe." He rasped out, before his tongue invaded and tenderly caressed every inch of mine. Ohhh. He was feeling possessive. I knew he didn't especially like feeling possessive, but he was so careful to be reasonable about it, that I wasn't entirely bothered. Well... his punishments, if you could call them that, were usually teasing me and letting me suffer in s****l frustration. Since it heightened whatever we did later, I wasn't exactly upset about it.

Maybe just a little.

"Because, Ren, you're mine." I announced roughly, and his eyes flared wide. "Just like I am yours." I whispered huskily, and it was like I had waved a red flag in front of a bull.

Whoops.

I was naked in a blink, and tossed onto his massive bed. How he'd gotten us both naked so fast I was not entirely sure, but I was certainly not complaining. The gummies had really kicked in, and I wanted him so bad. My core felt like a leaky damn faucet. Kind of embarrassing, but I knew Ren would appreciate it. I had slid up to the pillows and he crawled up the bed after me, pushing my legs open so he could look at me in the dimmed lighting of his bedroom.

His expression was so intense, so loving, and yet... vulnerable, somehow.

"Now that you've said it, you know I'm never letting you go, right? I won't hold you back, but there will be nowhere you go that I don't." He said, his hands sliding up my thighs to touch my core. I gasped. This man lit a fire within me like nothing else. The gummies had me ready to beg him on my knees, to plead for my release, all pride aside.

"Ren please, I need you. Everywhere." I begged urgently. His hand paused, and his fingers slid from my p***y to my tight rear rosette with a grin. He'd not tried much there yet, though he had used his mouth there a few times. I'd been too embarrassed to ask for more, but the gummies effectively broke down that resistance.

"Even here?" He whispered. I nodded, trying to pull him in for a kiss. I needed his lips on mine, now.

"Everywhere. It's all yours. I'm all yours." I gasped as he grasped my hips and slammed his c**k into my core roughly, pumping hard and fast. In less than thirty seconds we were cresting our orgasms together. He pulled out, still hard, and began to use his c*m to probe my ass. It's not something that's for everyone, but I was certainly enjoying the sensations. One finger, then two, then three, and I could feel an extremely intense orgasm on the horizon. The raunchy, wet sounds as a result of his excited preparations were spurring on yet another climax, but I wanted him inside me. "Ren, please." I implored, and he kissed me deeply as he pushed his manhood inside my ass.

Damn he felt good.

"So tight, babe." He growled, kissing my neck and sucking hard. I felt like I was going out of my mind with pleasure. Once he was fully seated, I looked at him.

"Happy birthday, sexy. I hope you like my... gifts." I whispered in a sultry voice.

And then he became a wild man, thrusting with everything he had until I passed out from literally the best orgasm I'd ever had. He woke me up a few times in the night to make love again. We were pretty sticky in the morning, which had me giggling. He patted my ass as we went to shower, a silent question. I blushed and nodded, and we got sticky all over again as he pounded my ass anew in the massive shower stall of his en-suite while I faced the wall and his fingers gripped my hips.

At breakfast, Claudia winked and I turned cherry red. She leaned over my shoulder as she brought orange juice to the table.

"Don't worry, Ren's room is soundproofed. But honey, your face and his say it all. Good job making him happy, daughter-in-law. I approve." She kissed my cheek and went to sit.

"Babe, thank you for making this birthday... unforgettable." Ren whispered as he took my hand under the table.

I clenched my thighs at his tone. Damn this man was fine. And mine.
