“You’re not all still asleep, are you?” my mother calls up the stairs from the kitchen.
I sigh.
“You’ve got to be kidding me,” Ford mutters.
Ivy giggles. He gives her a fake glare.
“They’re just so happy that the two of you are living together now,” she whispers.
“Yeah, we might need to reconsider that,” Ford says quietly.
Ivy gasps. “No! We all have to live together.”
He leans in. “But it means we have moms and dads crashing our morning plans every weekend.” He nuzzles her neck. “You won’t get all the attention that you need.”
“I love your mom and dad,” she says, tipping her head so he can get at more of her neck.
“But how are we going to keep you satisfied?” I ask, moving in to nuzzle the other side of her neck and sliding my hand lower.
She gives a little moan. “Well, you have a point.”
“Donotgo up there, Daphne,” my father calls.
I pull my hand out from between Ivy’s legs. I can’t help it. It’s an instinct.
“I’m not goingallthe way up,” she says. “But they might not be able to hear me.”
Ivy covers her mouth with her hand to stifle a laugh.
“Oh, you think that’s funny?” I ask her, running my hand over her pussy. “You think it’s funny that you’re going to have to settle for cinnamon rolls and egg bake instead of another orgasm?”
“We could just leave the food on the counter and come back later,” Ford’s mom says.
Ivy grins up at me. “I really love cinnamon rolls and egg bake.”
Ford growls. “You’re going to get spanked for that later,” he tells her.
She gives a little wiggle. “Oh, no,” she says. “That sounds terrible. Cinnamon rolls, egg bake, time with your lovely parents, and a spanking. Please. No.”
I can’t hold back my laugh. “I love you, you little brat.”
Her giggles are quiet but her smile is so sweet, my heart squeezes. “I love you too, Harrison.”
I lean in and kiss her. “I know. Everybody loves me.”
But she catches my face between her hands when I try to pull back. She looks me directly in the eyes. “I know they do,” she says. “But Ilovelove you. And I’m so happy to be spending forever with you.”
Jesus. This girl. I relax my expression and let her see my real emotions. All the love and awe and happiness she and Ford and Liam inspire. “Forever isn’t long enough.”
She smiles a smile that I will never get tired of seeing.
Ford reaches over and squeezes my shoulder. “There you go. That wasn’t so hard, was it?”
I shake my head and smile at him, too. “Shut up.”
He laughs.
Then we hear, “Yep, give me a second, I’ll get them.”
