Chapter 9 #2
“By the way, you don’t have to worry about your house being sold.
I bought it yesterday. I was going to tell you, but I got sidetracked again.
” She asked him why he’d do that. “I knew it was something that bothered you, and I thought that we seem to have enough room in this house for now, so why not just live here until we find something that we both like. Also, I know we have to take into consideration Harri when buying a house, and so I thought that we could go house hunting with her too. What do you think?”
“I think it’s a fantastic idea.” She looked at her watch, and he did the same with his phone. “You have to go back to work now. I was hoping that we could talk more. About tonight.”
“We’ll be fine, and if it doesn’t happen, it doesn’t. We’ll both be fine.” She nodded but looked unsure. “You never said how the ring looked? Do you like it or not?”
“I love it. I was just thinking that it will go perfectly with the necklace that I have. It nearly matches the stones in it. I think your great aunt had excellent taste.” She showed it off in the bright sunlight.
“You’d better get going before I forget the plans for tonight and try to seduce you now.
I don’t know how good I’ll be at it, but it’s been a long time for me. ”
He kissed her goodbye and was out the door before he could change his mind about going to work. He loved Anna very much and wanted to show her how much she meant to him. But like he told her, it would happen or not. It wasn’t going to change his love for her at all.
Getting back to work late, he was side-eyed by Earl. He wasn’t going to be captain for very much longer, as he had to lose some weight to pass the physical. He was taking it out on all of them, and so far, it had been Aaron who was running interference for them.
Just yesterday, he’d heard that he had to lose two hundred and fifty pounds just to get to a weight they could work with.
Then they wanted him to lose at the minimum two hundred more pounds before he could be considered fit for the job.
He had weighed in at over six hundred pounds.
No wonder he only sat behind the desk anymore.
He could barely walk around the place as it was.
It was his turn to go around the town in the cruiser, and for some reason, Earl thought it would be a good idea if two people rode around in it so that they looked good.
He didn’t care; he got to ride around with his brother, Alaric, and they had a good time.
It wasn’t often that the two of them would get to work together, and they both said that they missed that.
The day seemed to drag on, and he wished that he’d called off today.
He didn’t have any reason that would sound good to the captain, but he really wanted out of the office.
Just as he was going to pick up Harri, he realized that things were going to be different from now on and that he’d be with the girls in his family all the time.
He only hoped that he didn’t have another meltdown to go with the one he’d had at lunch with Anna.
It wasn’t too terribly manly to have to put his head between his knees like a little girl when something wasn’t going his way.
He knew that he’d be fine; it was just getting out of the house with his dignity that was worrying him.
His brothers would never let him live it down if he were to do something like that again.

Dinner was a hit as usual. LouCinda said that it had all been on Mac as she was going to be taking over the Saturday night meals.
Anna thought that it was wonderful that she was handing over the job to someone who would be new to the family.
She wondered if she should help out more around their home so that she could take over some of the traditions that had been going on for decades. Anna knew that she’d like that.
She was nervous. And on top of that, she was going to miss her baby girl when she wasn’t going home with them.
Harri seemed to be having fun at the table with her uncles around.
And when she called LouCinda, Grandma, it nearly made everyone at the table weep.
They were becoming a family, and it was working out well for all of them.
Now she just needed to get through tonight, and she’d feel better about everything.
She shouldn’t have worried. As soon as they got into the house, he was pressing her against the door and taking her mouth.
They were tearing at one another’s clothing even as he made love to her mouth. It was greedy the way he was taking her, and she found that she didn’t mind at all. As soon as he pulled her pants down to her thighs, he dropped to the floor and took her pussy into his mouth.
“Yes!” It was all she could manage as she came right away.
As soon as he sucked her clit into his mouth, she came twice more before she could get his cock inside of her.
Even as they made love right there in the hallway, she knew that she was going to be his forever.
“Take me, please. I need to feel your cock inside of me.”
“I want that too, but I’m loving the taste of you.” She told him that she wanted him again, and he stood up and slammed his cock deep inside of her. Even as she came three more times, she knew on some level that it wasn’t enough. There was more, and she wanted it right away.
Even as she was making love with him, Anna worried that she wasn’t going to survive him if he continued to make love to her as he was.
His cock was filling her in ways that she’d never felt before, and she knew that there was more to come.
They made love right against the door, and she couldn’t have asked for a better place than where they were doing it right now.
It was epic the way that he was taking her, and she couldn’t believe how much she loved this man.
“I love you.” He took her mouth even as he pounded her pussy.
As soon as he stiffened, she braced herself for his climax.
It was better than she hoped it would be, and she nearly passed out when he cried out that he was coming.
She must have blacked out at some point because she found herself in her bed with Zeno beside her.
Rolling to be atop of him, she sat across his body so that his cock was right where she needed it to be.
She sat up a bit, and he helped her slide his cock inside of her.
She rode him gently, enjoying the feel of him deep inside of her.
“How are you feeling?” She told him that she’d never been better. “I was hoping you’d say that. You feel good right where you are right now.” She grinned.
“I could do this all day and never tire of you being inside of me.” She nearly lost her rhythm when he surged his hips upward, taking her to new heights. “You’re very good at keeping me on my toes. I love the feeling of you deep inside of me.”
“I love being there too.” When he took her shirt off, not even realizing that she was still partially dressed, he sat up enough that he could take her breast into his mouth. “You taste like the best sex I’ve ever had.”
They both laughed, and she knew that she was going to be happy to be with Zeno for the rest of her life.
When she leaned down and kissed him, he rolled her to her back and still made love to her slowly.
As he touched her skin, she could swear that he was touching her entire body.
Even as he made love to her, she touched him as well.
There was something so wonderful about being able to touch him where she wanted and how she wanted.
“I love you, Anna. With all that I am. I hate that we started out on the wrong footing, and that’s all my fault. I hope someday I can make it—” She put her hand over his mouth.
“It’s all finished now. We are a couple, and that’s all that matters.” He nodded and kissed her hand, still over his mouth. “Make me come again, then I’m going to sleep. I’ve had a good day and now all I can think about is having you beside me for the rest of our days together.”
“My pleasure.” He did make love to her, but slowly as before. He touched her breasts and had her nipples become painfully hard. As he pulled one up to where he could pull it into his mouth, she wrapped her legs around his hips and rode him slowly.
They made love throughout the night. Even when she came, she wanted more from him. And she knew that he was going to make love to her every night like this, and her heart soared. He was all she needed in the world, and she couldn’t believe how lucky she’d been in having him find her when he did.
Waking up once to go to the bathroom, she was scared when she found she wasn’t alone in the bed.
It took her several minutes to realize that it was Zeno and that he was all right to be there.
After coming back to bed, she was pulled into his arms again and fell to sleep.
She’d only remembered that she didn’t have to work tomorrow at the last minute and was glad that she’d not set her alarm.
Anna had a feeling that she was going to sleep late for the first time in her adult life.
When she woke, she was alone in the bed.
She could hear the shower going and wondered how long Zeno had been up.
Getting up, she was sore just enough to know that some of the muscles that she’d used last night weren’t ones that she normally used.
Getting into the shower with Zeno, she was happy that he was glad to see her.
“I’ll wash your hair for you if you scrub my back.” She nearly fell when he massaged her head for her in a way that made her so relaxed. “You can’t go to sleep right now. I have plans for us for the rest of the day. The realtor called me, and she has three houses that she wants us to look at.”
