Chapter 116: Bryn

It turns out that we arrived too late for the small boat that would have taken us to the house I rented was locked up for the night. We have to settle with staying in a suite for the night and travel there tomorrow. Not that it matters much because we’re all exhausted…well except for Nolan. He’s full of energy and ready to go…well for him. I don’t think I've ever seen him act outwardly excited.

He’s a stoic silent kind of guy and I love him so dang much for it. He always makes me feel grounded with his silent strength. When I met his sister she told me she had been begging him for years to meet someone and enjoy life for once. Then he told her about me and she pestered him to meet me but he had been worried about what his family would think of our arrangement. He said it wasn’t shame but concern for me that held him back. When he did tell his mom and sister they were surprised of course but they have been so amazing to me and I adore them now.

Nolan grabs the room keys and a couple of the bags leaving the rest for the others. He rests his free hand on my lower back and leans in to leave a kiss on the side of my neck before gently leading me to the elevator.

I flash him a smile. “All that sleep has you so bold. PDA? That’s so not like you.”

He gives me an unimpressed look that makes me break into a laugh.

“I’m sorry, it was sweet,” I tell him, leaning up and leaving a quick kiss on his lips.

A faint pink rises on his cheeks but I don’t comment on it. That’s another thing that has been very him…the blushing. Since we both admitted that we love each other it’s like the floodgates of his feelings were thrown open. I’m not sure why suddenly he’s shy, especially after all we’ve done, but he is and it’s adorable. I try as often as possible to make it happen. Just one more thing I love him about him.

Nolan grumbles and huffs adorably and I keep on smiling at him.

We reach our floor and trudge down the hall until we reach the first door on the floor. It’s a good distance from the elevator which seems weird until we slide our key cards into the door and step inside. Holy crap! I mean I know they said it was a suite but I wasn’t expecting it to be so…big!

There is a nice-sized common area with a small kitchenette. To the right, there are two doors and one to the left.

“That must be the main bedroom with the connected bathroom. That is the one with the two queens and the second bathroom.” Nolan explains.

“So two of you will be sleeping with me or are you planning on doubling up together?” I ask teasingly.

Jaxon shrugs. “It wouldn’t be the first time a couple of us cuddled up together.”

Nolan scowls. “Like hell, I’m sleeping with one of you. I’ll sleep with Bryn.”

“Yeah, I'd prefer not feeling anyone's morning wood tomorrow.”

I snort out a laugh and head for the bigger room. The guys can hash this out while I get Henry settled in. He’s been dozing since we landed but I want to feed him now so that he’ll sleep at least for most of the night. We’ll need it with the time difference and all. I carefully unlock the carrier he’s in and lift him out. He makes a sound of protest and does his silly stretch where he curls up in a bean shape.

It’s cute even though it looks like it would be uncomfortable. Once he’s done stretching he starts to fuss. I hold him against my shoulder and finish removing the carrier before tossing it on the king-sized bed. There are about a hundred pillows on it and the blanket on top looks fluffy and inviting. We’re going to sleep well tonight on that thing and I hope the one at the island house will be just as comfy.

Once I've removed the carrier I walk over to a chair that’s sitting randomly in the corner of the room. As soon as I’m situated Henry is grabbing my shirt in search of his milk supply. I laugh and quickly move my top out of the way so he can feed. He latches on a sucks happily and his eyes half droop shut. I can’t help but brush my hand over his head and feel his soft hair under my fingers. He has a lot of hair just like I did when I was his age. I can’t believe he’s mine and how much he looks like Sawyer.

I’ve heard a few moms say they wish their babies looked more like them but I don’t mind. Sawyer is handsome and love him like crazy so I don’t mind our son looking like him one bit. Maybe our next one will favor me more, but even if not I’d still love them to pieces.

Thinking about having more kids makes me smile. Honestly, I never considered how many kids I would have especially since I hadn’t planned on having one so young but now…I would be happy to give each of the guys one if they want it. I’m in love with Henry so much that I wouldn’t mind having more. Not that being pregnant was pleasant but he was worth every second, and the guys have been an amazing help.

They’re so great with Henry that it doesn’t worry me that one day we might have a hockey team of kiddos.

As Henry drifts off to sleep again, Jaxon and Nolan walk into the room with their bags. I smile when Jaxon gives me a big smile.

“Beat out Maddox huh?” I ask playfully.

Usually when Nolan stays the night with me so does Maddox. They’re both the calmer of the bunch so they don’t tend to bother each other. Nolan sleeps on one side of me while Maddox curls around my back, but this combination…well Nolan’s scowl is understandable. Jaxon is a little wild and very playful while Nolan…isn’t. Nolan tends to get more annoyed with Jaxon and even now I hear him grumbling as he heads for the bathroom.

“I won the coin toss,” Jaxon says.

He walks over and leans down to kiss me. I melt whenever he kisses me because it is never quick. Every time he kisses me it lingers and it makes my skin light up every time. As hyper and rambunctious as he can be when he kisses it’s slow and deep. When he finally pulls away I’m breathless and light-headed.

“Okay, there Angel?” He asks with a cocky smirk on his face.

“Yeah,” I whisper.

“Good because I have plans for you.” He leans back in and I expect him to kiss me again but he is lifting Henry out of my arms.

I watch him carry our sleeping baby out of the room. Where is he going? I stand and walk to the door and see him handing Henry off to Sawyer. Sawyer takes the baby and winks at me from his room and takes Henry inside. Jaxon turns on his heels and stalks toward me. My body heats up and I take a step back like a panicked deer. He looks like a hungry wolf right now and I have an urge to run just so he can catch me.

Wow, where did that thought come from? Me being chased down and maybe thrown against the wall while he has his way with me…sounds so hot!

Instead, I walk back until the back of my knees hit the bed and I’m forced to sit on the edge. Jaxon stops in front of me and tips my head up to look at him with a finger under my chin. His thumb brushes over my bottom lip and I instctivley run my tongue over it.

“Fuck you’re beautiful. How did I get so lucky?” He asks softly.

Playful Jaxon is gone and the softer version of him is standing in front of me now. I want to tell him I’m lucky that he would even want me, but when I start to speak the bathroom door opens. My eyes move to see Nolan walk out in nothing other than a pair of black boxers that fit him like a glove. My mouth goes dry when his eyes lock on me and his eyes turn heated. I swallow at the intensity of that look and then glance back up at Jaxon.

“W-what’s going on?” I ask a little too breathlessly.

“Nolan and I have never teamed up before. He thinks we can’t work together, but I think he’s wrong. We are going to find out who’s right while we make you lose your mind over and over. How does that sound Angel?” He gives me an amused look that normally I would want to smack off his face but right now I can’t bring myself to be annoyed.

Because what he’s offering…sounds…amazing.

“Sounds perfect,” I reply and he smiles wide.
