Chapter 56
Morning to Forever
Scarlett
Waking up cocooned in Spencer’s arms made my soul come alive.
Every morning when his arms are wrapped around me, I feel like I could take on the world.
A year ago, I would have told you I was weak, broken, damned.
I'm here now, rubbing my fingers along his forearm, moving his hair back and forth, realizing who he made me. I am strong, repaired, and worthy. I have grown in knowledge, power, and love. Lying in the arms of the man who showed me I can be loved, I am powerful, filled with all the knowledge I need to be exactly who I want to be. Lying in the arms of the man I love, it’s like ecstasy, and I am so high that I never want to come down.
Sinking deeper into him, his arms wrap around me tighter. “Careful wiggling that ass of yours, you get him up, you get him down, and he likes this game.”
His groggy voice growls in my ear. I love getting him up and back down.
I push my ass into him, arching my back while bringing my hand around the back of his head, lacing my fingers in his hair.
My voice falls to a needy whisper: “I came to play.” A feral sound falls from Spencer’s throat; a dark groan mixed with a deep chuckle.
Rolling me onto my back fiercely, he grinds his hard length along my wet slit that silently begs for him.
He feels amazing. I am already dripping for him.
Wrapping my legs around his waist, my arms reaching around his neck, stealing his lips.
His lips open, allowing my tongue to meet his, greeting it with hard, good morning thrusts.
I love the way he devours me, drinking me in like a final sip of water.
My breath quickens as he unlocks my legs, pushing them apart, moving his soft fingers along my stomach, trickling down the inside of my thigh.
Goosebumps canvas my body, heat bubbles in my lower stomach, my back arches, and I move my lower half into his erection.
“You want to come for me, baby?” I whimper, Yes, I sure fucking do.
Kissing his neck, sucking and grabbing onto him, begging him to make the question a reality.
“Yes.” Breathlessly, his finger slides inside my underwear, stopping just before he touches my wetness and pulling his finger back out, sliding it down my thigh towards my knee.
“Is it throbbing for me?” He whispers into my ear, pushing himself on me once more, while kissing my neck.
“Mmhmm.” I moan into his neck. Please take what I’m begging you for.
“Good. Keep that needy hole ready for me. It is Christmas after all, games are essential.” He grinds into me once more, hitting the sweet spot with his hardness, making me moan into him. Seriously, you’re leaving me hanging.
“Spence, you’re going to leave me like this? All needy after you just got me hot and throbbing for you?” He stands, tucking away his massive erection.
“Yeah, baby girl, I am.” He smirks and turns away as we hear a knock at the door.
“Good morning, sweeties, time for a quick breakfast, and then we are decorating. Levi will be here in four hours!” Anna basically yells in excitement.
Spencer turns, looking my way, throwing me a devious smile. “Little edging never hurt anyone, baby.”
We have been putting in work this morning, making the house perfect.
Spencer and I set up the tree in the living room.
It’s a large, eight-foot-tall flocked green Christmas tree, and the decoration boxes are all set out, ready to be tackled.
Anna walked David around the house, pointing out where she wanted her wreaths and her lights hung.
The good and patient man that he is, followed her around, taking a kiss as payment with each job well done.
Spencer shakes his head, but smiles because that is love; that is the same way he loves me —openly and without end.
Spencer and I follow Anna into the kitchen, which smells delicious, and our stomachs immediately growl.
Anna has been cooking all morning, preparing casseroles, turkey, ham, sides, and desserts; it looks as if she is hosting for the entire neighborhood.
“This is so much food.” Looking at the island where food is coming out of the oven, it is being replaced by a new dish.
This woman doesn't mess around when it comes to feeding her family or showing them love, and I am truly blessed to be a part of it.
“Honey, our boy is coming home. I have three kids to feed before I spoil them rotten.” She hugs me before walking over to David, who is hanging her last item; the mistletoe.
They both look up before meeting eyes. David dips Anna and kisses her so softly, just as Spencer makes the puking face when the front door opens.
Levi!
Jumping up and down, I look at Spencer as his cheeks raise in the happiest smile. “Levi!”
Spencer and I turn around to see Levi and Maddie walking hand in hand. My legs move faster than my mind processes, finally catching up with me as I throw myself into Levi’s arms. I hug him like it’s the last time I’ll get to. “Brother!” I squeeze his body so tightly that he pats me.
‘Letty, you're stronger than me right now,” Levi grunts out. I quickly release my Hulk grasp, and Maddie laughs. Anna quickly comes in, pushing Spencer to the side.
“Sorry, honey, mama’s got to see her boy.” She throws her arms around Levi, squeezing him with an acceptable strength.
He wraps his arms around her. “Hey, Mama.” We all stop, my heart grows seven times larger, making me smile just as big as Anna. She places her hand on her heart, and without saying a word, we know those two words are the best gift she could have asked for this Christmas.
Spencer reaches in, hugging Levi. “Brother, shit man, it’s good to have you home, where you belong.” They hug each other for a long time, whispering something to each other and making one another laugh.
David steps in from behind the hallway pile-up. “Son, welcome home. We have all been patiently waiting for your arrival.”
