We Are Forever

Getting Comfortable

The next day I get the twins dressed and fed early. I can’t stop thinking about Talons mouth claiming mine. How it felt right. Like I was made for him. My wolf stirs in my mind and I feel her excitement. I quickly get ready and gather up the twins and the diaper bag. Once we get settled in the car I head toward Talon and Abbis place. It doesn’t take long to get there thankfully. My stomach clenches at the thought of seeing Talon. I wonder if he will kiss me again.

Talon is standing on the porch when I pull up. I see his lips quirk up in a grin as he saunters over to me. He is dressed in dark blue jeans and a dark grey t-shirt that clings to his shoulders and chest.

He opens my door for me and pulls me out by my hand. His touch sends electricity through my body.

“Morning beautiful.” He rasps out lowly looking into my eyes.

“Hi.” I whisper back breathily. My heart is racing and palms are sweating. I have never felt like this around anyone! Why do I react this way to him?

Mate mate mate! My wolf chants happily. He smells so good. Woodsy and like fresh water.

He helps me get the twins out of the car before leading me into the house. When I step through the front door I notice something smelling absolutely wonderful. My stomach growls loudly making me blush and Talon chuckle.

“This way sweetness. I made breakfast. I was hoping you hadn’t eaten yet and according to your stomach you haven’t.” He says lightly while leading me through the house. He has Eli in the crook of his arm and a hand on the small of my back. Leading me through the house into the kitchen.

“No I hadn’t even thought to eat this morning. I fed the kids and got us all dressed and here I am.”

When I step into the kitchen I see a big spread of different items. A small pan of fresh baked French toast, small bowl of mixed berries, some bacon, and a pitcher of fresh squeezed orange juice. Everything looks amazing! My mouth waters as I take it all in.

“This looks amazing! Did you make this yourself? And where is everyone?”

“Thanks and I did. My mother taught me to cook at an early age. She said she wasn’t raising her son to be sexist. I can cook and clean and change diapers. And Abbi is in her room sleeping. No one else is home. They are either at the office or doing whatever it is they do through out the day.” He replies with a smirk on his face. He places Eli in a small bouncy seat sitting on the floor in the corner. I notice another one next to it so I strap Ellie into it as well.

“Where did the bouncy seats come from?” I ask after I stand up and look at him. God he smells so good and that shirt hugs every inch of his chest and arms. I want to rub my body against his and see how close I can get.

“Me and my sister went to Walmart since they are open twenty-four hours. I have everything here that Ellie and Eli will need. I even got you one of those electric nursing pumps. And there is cream in the bathroom that should help any soreness you have. I wanted you to be comfortable here. To have whatever you needed here so you don’t have to rush back to your aunts.” He explains while looking rather smug. To be honest usually cocky attitudes bother me. But his turns me the f**k on. My body flushes with heat as I think about him. His nostrils flare out and his eyes smolder at me.

“What are you thinking over there that is making you smell more delicious than the food I made?” He asks huskily as he slowly walks toward me.

“How your smug attitude turns me on.” I say back without thinking. I clamp my hand over my mouth and my eyes go wide. I can’t believe I just said that out loud! What is wrong with me?! Why don’t I have a filter around this man. He barks out a laugh at my expression and pulls out a chair for me to sit in.

“Well I didn’t expect that answer. Judging by your face I’m sure you didn’t mean to say it out loud. How about we eat and get to know each other for now?” He asks with amusement in his eyes.

I gingerly take my seat and scoot my chair in. I am mortified I said that out loud. What was I thinking? Well honestly I don’t think I was.

Let me lick him.

Down girl! We are not going to be licking anyone. I feel her sigh and sink back. It’s weird having her in me. But it’s also comforting. While I am sleeping she tends to be alert for the babies. It has definitely been helpful.

I fill my plate with a slice of the French toast and a couple pieces of the bacon. The steam rises off my plate as I add a couple strawberry slices and syrup. I feel like I am in a restaurant eating this. I take a bite and moan out. Talon wiggles in his chair some as he takes me in. The French toast melts on my tongue. It has a hint of cinnamon but just enough to add flavor. It’s euphoric.

“Damn girl.” I hear Talon whisper across from me. His eyes are amber and he seems very tense.

“Sorry. It is just very good. Best French toast I have ever had.” I say lowly. My n*****s have turned so tight I’m sure they could cut glass. My body is humming and moisture is between my legs. At this rate I need to start keeping extra panties in the diaper bag.

He fixes his own plate and pours us both some juice. I take a sip from my glass and sigh. I wonder if he is good at everything. Even this juice is outstanding. We talk as we eat about our lives. I tell him a bit about the Adam. He gets mad when I tell him everything that happened between us. But when I tell him about what happened in the hospital I see him look relieved. He says only a good man who has deep feelings for someone would take a bullet for them. I tear up as I recall that awe full day. He holds my hand in silent comfort. We finish our plates and I help him wash them off.

He hands me the twins and grabs their seats and I follow him upstairs to his room. Once we get in there he sets the seats down in his living room. He takes Ellie from my arms and motions me to follow him. When I do I find two separate playpens in his bedroom. I lay Eli in the blue one and he places Ellie in the soft pink one. They both stay asleep for the time being. I watch them happily as they sleep for a moment and look at Talon. He looks at them in amazement and with a tender look In his eyes. I also see a bit of longing when he looks at them. I sigh softly as I walk out of the room. He follows me into the living room and we sit next to each other on the couch.

“What are you thinking Talon? You can have any woman you want. I’m a single mom of twins. I have nothing to offer you.” I say sadly. The thought of him with another woman sends a jolt of hostility through me and I hear my wolf growls lowly.

“I just want you Marie. I know it’s fast for you but I feel like I know you already. Your kind and caring and gentle. Your soft spoken but determined. I find your incredibly attractive. I just want you.” He says with firmly.

I take a breath and think over what he says for a moment. I can’t deny the urge to be near him. I can’t deny the way he makes me feel. I want him. But I also don’t want to hurt my children. And I am terrified of getting my heart broken again.

“How about we take things slow. We can do the whole dating bit for a while. See how things go?” I ask as I look into his grey eyes. I get lost in his gaze of grey. God he sets my heart of fire.

“If you keep looking at me like that there won’t be anything slow.” He rumbles out.

“How am I looking at you?” I whisper out slowly licking my suddenly dry lips. His eyes track the movement before he groans.

“Like you want to eat me up and swallow me whole. God Marie you have no idea the way you tempt me.”

“I’m not trying to.” I say breathlessly. Is it getting hot in here? Being around this man keeps me in a state of arousal.

“I know. But if you keep looking at me this way I won’t be able to control myself much longer.” He warns.

I take a shuddering breath and try to get control of myself. I look away and try to gather myself. He wraps an arm around my shoulder and pulls me into his side. We snuggle into the couch and he kisses my head. I sigh deeply and take in his scent. I could get used to this. We spend the rest of the day just getting to know each other. It’s so easy being with him. He adores my babies and is always offering a helping hand. Even the babies as little as they are seem to be getting comfortable.
