Sin
Six months later…
I sit at the table drinking coffee, watching Kieran dance around the kitchen. She said she wanted to cook us breakfast this morning. She’s making eggs, French toast and sausage, even though last night, she complained last night about how swollen her feet were and said she was gonna stay in bed all day today.
I was really hoping she would. I had plans to devour her. But when she woke up this morning, she was bouncing around with so much energy.
Poor Noah. He’s upstairs looking for her comfy shirt. That’s all she yelled when she looked in the dryer and didn’t find it.
Her exact words were, “Noah, what did you do with my comfy shirt?”
When he asked what her comfy shirt looked like, she yelled back, ”My comfy shirt, find it now!” So, he’s been up there for an hour looking for her comfy shirt. We don’t even know what the damn thing looks like. Her pregnancy hormones are killing us.
Noah stumbles down the stairs with a shirt balled in his fists. “Is this it?” he pants.
“Yessssss!” she yells as she runs up to him and jumps into his arms. “Where did you find it?”
“It was under your pillow,” he sighs.
“Ohhh yes, I put it there last night so you two wouldn’t steal it,” she laughs.
That damn laugh has my stomach doing flips, just like it did the time I heard it at the shelter.
Now it’s my turn to chime in. “Why would we steal it?”
“Because you two already tried to.”
She grabs the shirt and holds it out for me.
Taking from her, I hold it up. It’s a plain black t-shirt. We’d decided to throw it away since it doesn’t fit either Noah or myself That’s her comfy shirt? “Where did you find this? Noah was supposed to throw it away,” I ask.
“I found it in the trash. I bought this shirt so it would fit over my belly. I’m huge; I can’t fit into my shirts anymore.”
I look up and down her body. She’s in a pair of my boxers and a lacy little bra that her tits spill out of like a tasty fucking treat, just begging for my touch. She looks fucking sexy. She must notice the heated look in my eyes, because she pulls the t-shirt on with a scowl. “You’re not touching me! I’m huge; I look like a whale,” she announces, sounding annoyed.
I smirk, standing from my spot at the table. Walking over to her, I grab her chin. “You are the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen,” I admit, leaning down and claiming her lips.
The kiss quickly becomes heated. She pulls back, turning to go back to the food she’s cooking. When she starts to walk away, I slap her ass. She yelps and turns, shooting me a nasty look. Her viciousness makes me laugh. She’s come out of her shell a lot and turned into such a ferocious creature. I fucking love it.
The doorbell rings and I stand, knowing exactly what’s here. I hurry to the door before she can, opening the door. I’m greeted by a friendly looking woman in her late fifties.
“Hi ma’am, did you bring him?” I ask in my friendliest voice.
“Oh yes sweetie, though I do have to say you’re gonna make one of our volunteers very sad,” she answers. “I’ll go get him now.”
She turns and walks back to her car. Opening the back door, she reaches for something inside. When she steps back, the most adorable brown brindle and white pit bull jumps out. The shelter lady walks back up and smiles at me, handing me his leash and the dog bed he loves. That’s what she told me when we were talking on the phone.
“Sin, what are you doing? Oh hi, what are you doing here?” Kieran says, sounding confused, “Oh my god—Thor!” she yells, dropping to her knees next to the dog.
Thor walks up to her and licks her face. She wipes it with the bottom of her shirt.
The older woman gasps. “Oh my goodness! Congratulations, Kie!” she shouts.
Kieran looks up and smiled at the woman. The shirt hides her bump a little and the woman must have just realized she’s pregnant.
“Uhhh, Sin, will you help me up?” Kieran asks.
I reach over and grab her hands, pulling her to her feet. She leans down and scratches the dogs head before looking back at the older woman.
“Thank you, Martha, but what are you doing here?”
“Well, this nice young man called and wants to adopt Thor!” she exclaims. “But I see now; he’s for you!”
I look down at Kieran’s face and see it light up. This was a great decision. She looks up at me and starts tearing up.
“What’s wrong, baby?” I say, concern lacing my voice.
“I’m just so happy,” she sobs.
I reach over and pull her to me. Leaning down, I plant a kiss on her lips. “Happy birthday, baby.”
“Well, I’m gonna get out of here and leave you lovebirds alone,” Martha says sweetly. “Bye, Kie, it was lovely seeing you again.”
“Bye, Martha!”
Kieran turns to me with a twinkle in her eyes. “How did you know about Thor?”
“I was watching you in the cameras at the shelter.”
“You know what— I’m sorry I asked,” she says with a roll of her sapphire eyes. “Come on Thor, let’s leave him and go play.”
“What about breakfast?” I yell.
“Finish it yourself.”
With that, her and Thor disappear into the backyard.
“I guess breakfast is up to me,” I mutter, but when I walk into the kitchen, Noah’s already at the stove
Man, Noah’s sexy. He’s standing at the stove in a pair of my too-big gray sweats, shirtless. I walk up behind him and kiss his shoulder.
He mumbles something about, “Stop that or this will burn.”
I chuckle and step back, sitting at the table. Then, I just watch him. He’s bulked up some since we met, not quite my size but bigger than he was. We work out together, and after Kieran has the baby, she will too.
Right now, though, she just watches. On those days, it always ends in us fucking her against the wall or on the floors. Life is great; I have the family I’ve always wanted with Kieran and Noah and the baby boy who is so close to being here.
