"Screw that, if my boy wants it it's his I didn't wait this long for this day only to be trumped by some monster bride princess wanna be oh h.e.l.l no. This wedding is going to go off without a hitch and you're gonna help me plan it."

"Elena babe, you've finally lost it, first of all the kids haven't even become engaged as yet, maybe Kat has different ideas for her wedding day and you know d.a.m.n well Colton is going to give that girl whatever she wants regardless of your wishes. So unless you want to be sorely disappointed like your monster in law was when Daniel told her to stuff it, you'll wait until they tell you."

"You're right I know but these kids take so long to do everything and weddings take a lot of planning. Oh I know, I can get started on the guest list; this waiting is gonna drive me crazy. Do you think they'll at least let me choose the flowers?"

"Oh stop feeling sorry for yourself El, it's not going to be that bad our Kat's a sweetheart, just wait until you're asked that's all, and if the girl doesn't want peach roses don't get your feelings hurt just let her have whatever she wants."

"I know that I already said that; I'm just so jazzed you know with the whole ring thing but I'll be good I promise; oh my I wonder if Tina knows."

"I doubt it and don't go saying anything because I'm pretty sure Kat doesn't even know yet either; I'm sorry I even said anything now."

"What it's okay I'm not going to say anything I was just wondering." She rolled her eyes and went back to flipping through her magazine. Colton better propose soon or at least let me in on the secret because I'm not sure how long I can hold onto my excitement without letting the cat out of the bag.

Little Miss Kat Something's up with Colton; I'm not sure what but something. I've come to know him and his little quirks and lately he's been at it. I did my usual sneak peeks but that didn't produce anything; usually he leaves me little surprise gifts hidden all over the place mostly in my lingerie drawer. It can be anything from an overly expensive piece of jewelry to a cute little figurine in the shape of an angel. He was always doing these sweet little cutesy things so foreign to his outward persona.

"Colton what are you up to?"

"What Angel?"

"Come on tell me you know I hate surprises."

"I have no idea what you're talking about and since when you hate surprises you always squeal like a little kid whenever you find one of my little treats."

"But those aren't surprises they're more like....oh I don't know, you know what I mean. Now what are you hiding?"

"What makes you think I'm hiding anything?"

"I don't know; the secret phone calls, the quick errand runs during lunch instead of our afternoon quickies."

I looked at him until I was struck by a depressing and gut wrenching thought.

"You're not cheating on me are you?"

"Uh huh, I'm about to cheat on you in a little bit when you put on that schoolgirl's uniform and become my little coed. Don't ask me stupid a.s.s questions babe; why the f.u.c.k would I be painting your face on my hide if I was planning to cheat on you? Besides cheating's for pansy a.s.s chumps and you know I'm all man baby." He flexed his muscles like a bodybuilder which had me in st.i.tches.~ I didn't really worry that he was cheating which is strange because I'm not the most secure person there is but something about the way he is with me tells me that he just wouldn't do that to me and from what I've learned of him in the few short months we've been together he's just not that type.

He's too open and bold to be the sort to sneak around I think; besides we are hardly ever apart except for lately when he's been slipping out on his lunch breaks instead of cornering me in the office.

The newness hasn't worn off yet though my mom keeps insisting it will any day now. She still has her moments of Colton bas.h.i.+ng though I think overall she's trying; Colt pretty much just ignores her anyway unless she upsets me which drives him crazy and he tears into her and hangs up the phone. That hasn't happened in a little while so hopefully she's coming around. I haven't told him that she's been hinting at staying with us when she makes her visit because he's already made it pretty clear that h.e.l.l would freeze over before that happy occurrence. Somehow I have to get those two to like each other I think it would make life that much easier but I'll think about that later; seems Colton wants to play my favorite game.

The Lyon Yep, I'm about done; my girl plays the naughty coed and h.o.r.n.y professor just right enough to bring me to my knees. Role-playing is just one of her kinks and I aim to please her always. There is no rhyme or reason to what we do we don't schedule a performance or s.h.i.+t like that it's whenever the need strikes and in this house it strikes a lot.

"Babe I think he's still hungry." She was busy teasing my still~stiff c.o.c.k.~ "Yeah I can see that it's that d.a.m.n skirt or maybe it's the unb.u.t.toned top who the f.u.c.k knows just hop back on.......when you're done doing what you're doing." s.h.i.+t my baby did like to give head.

That was close; I didn't realize that she was clocking me so closely. I tried camouflaging my afternoon errands as business but obviously she wasn't buying it anymore. She knew enough about the business ins and outs to know what I had going on. It was fun watching her spread her wings more and more; sometimes I listened to her on the phone or in the shop talking to the guys and the new a.s.sertiveness in her voice was a testament to how far she'd come in the few short months she'd been here.

Mom was acting weird too lately and I wondered what the h.e.l.l Char had been telling her; that lady never stayed out of my business.

Both our tattoos were finally finished and hers looked d.a.m.n hot I was getting as much pleasure out of them as I was sure I would, there was just something about seeing my name, my stamp of owners.h.i.+p written on her that blew my mind. She spent hours sometimes tracing her likeness on my side, or when she was feeling extra amorous she'd lick every inch of it until she made her way to my c.o.c.k and swallowed it. f.u.c.k I love my girl.

Now her rings were being made and everything was finally falling sweetly into place; like her climbing back on my c.o.c.k and riding the f.u.c.k out of me.

"f.u.c.k baby your p.u.s.s.y feels extra good today; the f.u.c.k did you do?" She was squeezing the f.u.c.k out of my boy who was as happy as he's ever been. Kat wasn't in the mood to answer as she was busy enjoying the feel of my c.o.c.k gliding in and out of her. I pulled a fast one and flipped her over onto her back.

"My turn." With her legs wrapped around my hips I pounded into her furiously as she dug her nails and her heels into me her teeth sinking into the flesh of my neck.

We were both wild and uninhibited just how I liked us.

Chapter xiii.

"The sisters want to have a barbecue it's their way of welcoming a new member to the family; as my woman I guess you're obligated to oversee s.h.i.+t or some f.u.c.k I don't know. I've never been approached with this s.h.i.+t before."

"It's fine Colton it just means they want my input which is kind of cool; makes me feel like part of the crew."

"The f.u.c.k! You are part of the crew you're a part of me aren't you?"

I knew that would get a blush out of her my baby loves sweet talk and I love giving it to her.

"Where's your boy Cyrus?"

"I think Elena dragged him off somewhere."

It's Sat.u.r.day and the shop's closed; I close down every other Sat.u.r.day to give my guys some extra family time though it's not really a nine to five type operation because my boys sometimes get hit by inspiration at some odd hours and would just come in and do their thing, I make sure they took the usual two days a week off to take care of their personal s.h.i.+t.~ "Poor guy; oh well better him than me; so you okay with this barbecue s.h.i.+t?"

"Oh yeah I guess; when is it going to be.......where is it going to be?"

"At the shop, mom's, or here that's where we usually do this type of thing according to how many people are coming; I guess it'll be here this time but you'll have to ask the girs. It's next Sunday that cool?"

"Short notice but I can hang."

"That's good I think the reason it's such short notice is because this is an unexpected guest; remember when I left you at my parents because I had to go handle some s.h.i.+t; this is the lady and her kids that we moved to get them away from her a.s.shole ex."

"Oh c.r.a.p now I feel stupid." She hid her face in my side.

"Forget about it; hey baby you wanna do me a solid?"

"Sure what is it?"

"You mind grabbing my black Henley from the top drawer?"

She rolled off of me from where she'd been lying in bed; we were having one of our lazy mornings; no place to be in a hurry unless mom decided she wanted to have a family day or some s.h.i.+t and since she was already dragging poor Cyrus all over the place I'm thinking we're safe.

Her scream almost shattered my eardrums and I barely had enough time to brace myself for the missile that came flying towards me as she jumped on top of me.

"Oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh." She was crying and laughing and kissing me at the same time her ring clutched tightly against her chest. I pushed her beautiful hair back from her face and held it back with my hands. Looking into her tear drenched eyes I took my time finding the words I wanted to say. This is a one shot deal so I had to do it right because women remembered s.h.i.+t for d.a.m.n near ever and I can't look like a douche when she repeats this s.h.i.+t to her girls which I'm a hundred percent sure is going to be the case. My mother especially would have my a.s.s if I messed this up so I had to man the f.u.c.k up.

"When I put this on your finger it stays there always; same as the one you're going to put on my finger someday soon is gonna stay on mine. Be sure that this is what you want because there's no divorce in the Lyon family we don't believe in that s.h.i.+t; if things get tough we work them out you wake up one day and decide you want out you're f.u.c.ked and that's no joke. Be sure that this is what you want that I'm what you want because this, whatever we are whatever we're going to be starts here and now and it's forever."

I gave her time to compose herself and then I opened her hand and took the ring. Her hands were shaking as I slid the ring home. I kissed her fingers before pulling her down to me to seal the deal with my lips on hers.

"I love you Angel now and forever."

"I.......Colton......." She collapsed against my chest apparently too overcome for words. I just held her close crooning to her until she settled. When she was all cried out she picked her head up from my chest and blessed me with the most amazing smile.

"I can't wait to be Mrs. Colton Lyon." She screamed the last part while flinging her arms in the air then in a move that almost made my head spin she was jumping off of me again.

"Hey where're you going?"

"I have to tell everyone my mom, yours, Carol, Stacy, the sisters....."I pulled her back on top of me and held on "First you have to seal the deal babe then you can alert your crew."

I'm glad that s.h.i.+t was over with I went through a million f.u.c.king scenarios in my head and rejected them all. Everything seemed too contrived and not us at all; we aren't really the candlelight dinner bulls.h.i.+t type; not that I don't treat my girl to the so-called highlife once in a while but I choose to spend my money and time on her in different ways. This, the way I'd done it seemed right for us no muss no fuss; just us two. Now it's done and Kat has been walking around on a cloud for the whole day which made me feel like a f.u.c.king king. The phone hasn't stopped ringing since I'd let her crawl out of my bed; well actually I'd nailed her again in the shower so not since then. The news traveled like wildfire and pretty soon there was a cavalcade of people outside my place; seems they had to see it to believe it. Of course Char was there beaming like she'd orchestrated the whole d.a.m.n thing; mom meanwhile was grinning like a proud mama; I give her five minutes before she started in on her pitch for grandkids again.

"Dad outside."

"What?"

"You can't smoke that s.h.i.+t in here you burn a hole in Kat's couch she'll have a fit."

Kat had been going through some kind of remodeling phase; it started when she started getting her tattoo I figured it was to take the place of s.e.x, she needed an outlet for all that teenaged energy. My dad the pothead was busy lighting up on her new all-white settee, couch, whatever the f.u.c.k; she'd tried explaining it to me but I don't know I didn't much care what she did with the place as long as she was in it that's all I gave a f.u.c.k about but if he f.u.c.ked it up she'd probably cry or some s.h.i.+t.

"Dude I'm a pro I'm not going to get on my new daughter's bad side by s.c.r.e.w.i.n.g up her couch trust me. You want a hit?"

I could only shake my head at him as I made my way to the kitchen where most of the impromptu party had gathered.

"Ma can you please go control your husband?"

"Leave you poor father alone he's had a hard week, one of his kids didn't make it out of surgery, he knew the odds were against them going in but it's still always a hard pill for him to swallow. Let him enjoy his weed in peace."

I could see there was going to be no help from that quarter. Kat was busy showing off her ring to the sisters when Drake walked in phone to his ear. From his next words I guessed he was talking to his ex.

"Yes I'm looking at her right now....she's fine yes, yes she's really engaged I can see the rock on her hand from across the room." His face broke into a wide grin and he gave me a thumbs up before walking farther into the room and heading for Kat and her crew. Everyone's crazy, I mean what the f.u.c.k did she think that when her daughter called her with the news of our engagement that she was lying to get her off our backs or some s.h.i.+t, d.a.m.n? Whatever!

"Jared get over here bro."

"What's up boss congratulations by the way I'd be expecting my bonus next paycheck."

"What bonus clown?"

"For introducing you to your beautiful future wife of course, you know, the one you were so worried about hiring."

I head locked his a.s.s and gave him a noogie.

"Very funny bro, now we need to organize some food and drinks for this crowd; I had no idea we were gonna be overrun by you fools today so I'm not really prepared.

"What did you expect; you got engaged bro that's huge of course we'd want to be here for you guys. Look at Cyrus grinning from ear to ear like a proud grandpa; seriously bro thanks."

I didn't pretend not to know what he was thanking me for.

"She's the happiest I've ever seen her; never thought I'd see her like this again after....you know. She was gone bro just not the same at all and none of us knew what the f.u.c.k to do to bring her back. It's good to have my little sister back; be happy brother." We exchanged a hug and a pound.

"Count on it, now go get the guys together and make a beer run, what do you think pizza, burgers, what?"

"Your mom said something about firing up the grill."

"That's cool then, I guess we'll be doing this two weekends in a row then. Let me just go see what she has in mind."

~Turns out I had about fifty people spread out all over my place; how the f.u.c.k that happened on such short notice was beyond me and that wasn't counting children. I could still hear bikes pulling up outside which meant it was about to get even more crowded.

Mom and Char had dragged their husbands along with Drake and Cyrus off to get food to feed the ma.s.ses, though she'd been sure to warn me that this was in no way the official engagement party see would be throwing us in the near future. Which meant I'd be decked out in a monkey suit and paraded in front of her friends.

"Isn't this great, like everyone showed up."

My girl flew into my arms her excitement contagious; I was busy checking our liquor content, the parents said they'd cover everything including beer but I know my guys when it came to celebrations beer always gave way to hard liquor. I'm not really much of a drinker so whatever I had usually stayed around for a while looked like I was pretty much covered with tequila, whiskey, cognac, vodka and rum. That ought to do it; I grabbed her up reveling in her excitement. She wrapped her arms around my neck holding on tight.

"I'm so happy Colton, thank you."

f.u.c.k a houseful of people and my baby's being sweet as f.u.c.k; I guess I could hold off on plowing her for the next few hours or so.

"I'm happy too baby, very very happy. Mouth."

She found my lips with hers and we stole a kiss before we had to go be hosts again.

~It turned out to be a f.u.c.k awesome party with well over a hundred people; most of my crew came out with their women and children to show their support. Who couldn't make it called with congrats. Mom was in her element, she loved~a~good party so she manned the food or bossed dad and Drake into doing it which freed up Kat and me to socialize with everyone.

Cyrus was mingling getting to know the members he'd yet to meet; by now most people knew his story so they knew he was one of us. Kat for all her excitement made sure that he was happy. She'd only cried like three times throughout the night; by the third time I'd stopped stressing over it when I realized they were tears of joy and it was just one of those female things.

~~By the end of the night after everyone had been fed and watered we sat around with our nearest and dearest, of course the women were all about wedding plans; I didn't have the first f.u.c.king clue.

"Just tell me when and where and I'll show up."

"Oh no you don't son, those days are over, nowadays the man plays just as big a part in the planning as the bride."

I just looked at Kat to see if she agreed with mom; f.u.c.k she wanted me involved. Why the f.u.c.k couldn't anything be easy didn't it used to be the guy only had to show up in a monkey suit say the words and get the f.u.c.k on with it? All this metro s.e.xual modern man s.h.i.+t was a pain in my a.s.s but with my girl looking at me like it would be the most important thing in the world if I did this what the f.u.c.k was I supposed to do?

"Okay sign me up but can't we just get one of those people that tell you where to go and what to do and all you have to do is show the f.u.c.k up......?"

"You guys got engaged without me?" My little sister came screaming into the room and headed right for Kat who was sitting on my lap.
