“That’s it, give it to me, baby girl,” he whispers into my ear as he nips on my lobe. His fingers pinch my nipple and his pelvis grinds against my clit, shattering me in the best way.

“Shh, shh,” he shushes me as I come down, my body still shaking, and I find my mouth pressed against his neck, as he quakes along with me.

My lips travel up his neck, finding his as we both quiet, and I flush at the smile on them when we part, dragging in breaths. “What?”

“Just wondering if Julie had the crew soundproof the room when it was remodeled or if I simply was fast enough to keep you from waking the babies as I made you come,” he teases, making me flush further. “It’s sexy as hell that I can make you scream, take you so far out of your head that you just give into what you need, feel, baby girl. I don’t want anyone to ever hear those sweet noises you make though, they’re for my ears only.”

“I think I can handle that, as long as you don’t go flaunting your sexy body where desperate women will be, making them hungry for a taste of it,” I counter, laughing when he flips us over, settling me on top of his once again hard cock.

“Why would I begin to want another woman when I have your sweetness to gaze upon, kitten?”

I sink onto him, bit by bit, letting out a low whimper at how full I feel now. It’s incredible and I lower my lips to his, wanting them on mine as he shifts me up and down on his length until he fills me once more.

His lips press a soft kiss to my forehead as I sprawl over his chest, my eyes fluttering shut, drained of everything but the waning pleasure floating through my body. A smile crosses my lips and I sink into his warm hold, letting it surround me the entire night through.

Jude presses a kiss to my lips as we stop near the front of the house. The giant house that makes my jaw drop just seeing where Jude grew up, telling me just how little I realized the Cartwright family was really worth.

Before I can start to worry about it, the front door opens and Annie, Jake and Jaime are headed our way. Jude takes Emma from her car seat then comes around, opening my door while the others finish getting the boys from theirs, and I let him lead us into the house, looking around in wonder.

Comfort washes through me when we move into a huge room, seeing the evidence of life in it. I don’t mean the people in it, but the lived-in feel to the space. There aren’t any fancy trinkets laying around with dazzling white furniture. No, there are toys and books and blankets littering the space, but it doesn’t feel like an out-of-control mess either somehow.

“Dang, no wonder Jude finally tripped over his own tongue,” one of the guys in the space that looks very similar to Jude says, making my brow lift towards my now husband curiously.

I thought he was joking when he woke me Thursday, saying he couldn’t wait any longer. We were at the courthouse with all four babies when Annie showed up, wagging her finger at Jude, telling him he wasn’t pulling a Jesse on them. That had me confused until Jude explained that Maddie had always dreamt that she’d walk down the aisle with a pregnant belly, but Jesse couldn’t wait that long to make her legally his. So, he snuck them off to the courthouse with just Julie, Serena, and Maddie’s sister Kayla with them, not telling anyone they were already married, and I simply had to laugh.

Then admit that the thought of a huge wedding simply made me feel anxious and I’d never survive it. Annie was fine with it, as long as they were able to join us and there was no way I’d have said no to that.

“Ignore him,” Jake says as Jackie and her family come into the room as well. Ethan instantly presses a kiss to Jackie’s lips when she sets down their youngest as he screeches, wanting down to walk. Well, toddle really. He’s now one, four years younger than their twins, while their oldest is fifteen, which doesn’t surprise me at all seeing the way Ethan looks at her.

“He’s just salty that Dad forced him to come home,” Jude adds, settling down with me in an oversized chair, keeping Emma in his hold along with me, and I can’t help but smile.

“It’s bullshit,” Jeffery grumbles and I look around the space confused.

“Language in front of the babies,” Annie warns, cuddling with Sawyer and Jackie’s youngest Aiden in another chair.

“Sorry, but you know I’m right. I didn’t do anything and have proof where I was when that bit…bitter chick claims she was attacked. I shouldn’t be the one punished because I didn’t want to go out with the crazy hag,” Jeffery retorts and the lack of surprise on the others’ faces says they know things I don’t. Including Jude.

“Lover boy didn’t tell you what’s going on, did he?” Jesse says, and I fight against a flush of color attacking me.

“We had our own personal matters to handle. I didn’t think our wedding night was the right place to explain that some girl had falsely accused our brother of assault,” Jude states, quieting the space before a loud flutter of noise surrounds us.

“You got married without telling us you were?” Jackie asks, glaring at Jude before smiling at me, making me like her more despite the age difference between us. Or perhaps it’s because of it. It’s so strange to think she’s about the same age as my mom was. It makes me wonder what my mom’s life might have been like if she hadn’t had me so early in it.

“Couldn’t wait any longer to make her mine entirely once I had her back,” Jude says, kissing my temple and I sink into the hold, smiling more.

“Told you she was family,” Jillian says towards Jeffery who lets out a shrug, before giving me a chin nod.

“Well excuse me for wondering if some crazy chick had gotten her claws into him after the shitstorm of the last week,” he returns. “Mom was desperate to get him off the ‘never getting serious’ kick and would have accepted anyone that managed to do that.”

“I would not,” Annie replied angrily. “Did I think she’d be good for your brother, before knowing they’d already met, yes, but I never would have pushed her towards him if he wasn’t open to it. I knew from just meeting Eden that she was special and only someone with a heart like hers would reach my stubborn boy.”

“Stubborn boy?” I tease Jude quietly with, and I can’t contain my laughter when he tries to glare at me but can’t manage anything but narrowed eyes as he fights the smile pushing at his lips.

“Behave kitten, there are far too many little ones around for me to spank your sexy little ass right now,” he warns sweetly, putting a smile on mine that nothing can knock off. Not even Jennie’s slightly snooty attitude when she learns my mom was between her and Jackie in school.

“Ignore her,” Julie whispers as we move into the dining room to make plates. There are too many of us to easily sit around the table with the huge mounds Annie made, so we’re taking turns getting ours while the others watch the kids still. “Jennie’s always been the brat of the family. We called it middle sister syndrome growing up, because she was always whining and complaining about something.”
