WMIS 03 Play With Me (24 page)

“You
know my mom and dad, and the girls,” again with more smiles and waving. “And
that’s Luke’s mom and dad, Neil and Lucy. That couple wandering through the
trees is Stacy’s parents, and Brynna’s parents are sitting with my mom. And
that big guy that looks like Nate with my dad at the grill is Nate’s dad,
Rich.”

I’m
completely overwhelmed.

“Hi
everyone,” I smile and wave at the group as a whole, and they all smile and
wave back. They are a sea of green and blue, clearly dressed to support Will
and his team.

Except
Nate, who’s just wearing a black t-shirt and faded blue jeans, his hair down,
tattooed arm wrapped around Jules’ waist, and he’s whispering in her ear, making
her laugh.

“I
think Meg could use a drink,” Caleb steps forward and hands me a beer. He has
kind blue eyes and an effing killer body.

Of
course, he’s a SEAL.

“Yes,
Meg could,” I agree and take the beer from him. “Thanks.”

“Come
sit with us,” Natalie calls, her daughter Olivia on her shoulder. She is
sitting with Brynna, Samantha and Stacy in plush outdoor couches at the far end
of the patio.

“I’ll
be over there,” I wink at Will and turn to go, but he holds onto my hand and
pulls me against him, swinging our linked hands behind my back and kisses me,
long and slow, in front of all of these people.

“Get
a fucking room!” Caleb calls out.

“Watch
your damn mouth!” Will’s mom, Gail, yells at him, making us all laugh.

“What
was that for?” I ask him.

“Because
I can.” He winks and walks over to his dad. “That’s no way to grill a steak,
old man.”

“Here,”
Brynna scoots over on the couch making room for me, and hands me the newest
Montgomery, Liam. “He’s wearing your outfit, you hold him.”

I
glance up at Stacy, who is lounging comfortably next to Natalie. “Do you mind?”

“Of
course not. Babies are passed around this family all day. Get used to it.” She
grins at her son lovingly as I take him from Brynna and cradle him in my arms.
He has a Seattle footfall beanie on his little head, matching the adorable
onesie that looks like a jersey with the number eight on the front, tucked into
the tiniest blue jeans I’d ever seen, and all wrapped up in a blue and green
blanket. “That is the most adorable baby outfit, Meg. Thank you.”

“Oh
you’re welcome. I couldn’t resist it. But the girls are absolutely precious.”
Sophie, Isaac and Stacy’s older daughter, and Olivia are in matching green and
blue tulle tu-tus and green and blue hair bows almost as big as their heads.

“Stacy
made the tu-tus,” Natalie grins and pats her daughter’s back.

“There’s
not much you can do when you’re a thousand months pregnant,” Stacy remarks with
a frown. “I was bored out of my mind.

“That
must have been a challenge with a one year old,” I pull Liam up onto my chest,
and he nestles down under my chin, sighs, and goes right back to sleep.

“It
was, but Isaac was great. He was able to work mostly from home, and I had my
mom and Brynna, and Nat and Jules, so I was never alone for long.”

Luke
joins us, kisses his daughter’s cheek and then his wife’s lips. “Want me to
take her?”

“Sure,”
Nat hands the sleepy, dark haired baby to Luke and grins as he murmurs to the
baby and walks back over with the guys.

“He’s
hot with a baby,” Brynna remarks with a sigh.

“He’s
just hot,” Stacy replies. “Sorry, Nat.”

“Puke,”
Samantha remarks and makes a gagging noise. “That’s my brother, girls. And why
does he always get to hold the baby? He hogs her.”

“Because
she comes from my loins,” Luke calls back, having heard Sam.

“Oh
God, don’t talk about your loins. I’m going to throw up.”

“Don’t
be sorry, Stace. You’re right,” Natalie laughs. “Although, I think all the guys
here are pretty hot.”

I
nod and look over at Will. He’s frowning, hanging back from the others, deep in
thought. He’s beating himself up about today. How do I get him out of this
mood? I purse my lips, rubbing Liam’s little back, and then it hits me.

With
a grin, I balance Liam on my chest and pull my phone out of my pocket, and send
him a text.

Would
the thought of me sucking your cock in the car on the way home cheer you up?

I
hit send and kiss the baby’s head, half listening to the girls chatting around
me. My eyes are on Will when he pulls his phone out of his pocket to check his
phone. His lips twitch and his eyes meet mine from across the patio, and then
his thumbs are moving across the screen.

My
phone vibrates with his response.
Are you wearing panties?

It
makes me smile. I love how it turns him on that I don’t wear underwear often.

No.

He
raises an eyebrow and pins me with a hot look, then focuses on his phone again.

“Meg,
how was New Orleans?” Jules asks as she joins us, Sophie on her hip. The baby
is playing with Jules’ phone.

“It
was so great,” I respond and feel my phone vibrate.

Can
I bury my fingers deep in your pussy while you suck me off?

“What
did you guys do while you were there?” Brynna asks as one of her daughters, I’m
not sure which one, climbs onto her lap. We are surrounded by children and I’m
sending x-rated texts to my boyfriend.

Yes
please.

“Ate
a ton of food, took in a bunch of music, wandered around the city. I wanted to
go on a ghost tour, but Will was chicken.”

“I
heard that,” he calls from across the patio.

“I
wasn’t trying to hide it,” I call back, and everyone laughs.

“I’ve
always wanted to go there,” Stacy remarks. “Isaac and I will have to go
sometime.”

“You
should,” I nod. “It’s a lot of fun. And warm, which was fantastic.”

Just
for that last remark, I’m going to spank your ass when I’m inside you tonight.

“You
got a nice tan,” Jules sets Sophie on her feet and she toddles over to me
before I can respond to Will’s text. I look up at him and nod.
Hell yes!
He just laughs and takes a pull on his beer.

“Baby!”
Sophie points a tiny finger up at her little brother.

“Is
this your baby brother, sweet girl?” I ask her, earning a big, slobbery smile,
showing off four front teeth.

“Baby.”
She holds her hands up, trusting that I’ll pick her up, so I cradle Liam in my
left arm and lift Sophie up to sit on my right leg. “Baby.” She points at him
again and then sticks her tiny finger in her mouth.

“Yes,
this is baby Liam. Isn’t he sweet?” I kiss her smooth cheek, then blow a
raspberry on her neck, making her laugh.

“Meg,
look up and smile.” I raise my head at Nat’s voice and smile for her camera.
The woman doesn’t go far without that thing. Even Sophie is so used to seeing a
lens that she poses for the camera too.

“Dinner’s
ready, everyone,” Gail calls. The guys help her set bowls of salads and fruits
on the long buffet table next to the house, while Steven piles steak and
chicken on platters.

The
food is abundant and delicious.

“This
is the last time this year we’ll grill. Until next summer, we’ll have family
gatherings catered. It’s a lot of work to feed all of us,” Natalie tells me as
she stands and takes Sophie from me, planting her on her curvy hip.

“I
can see that,” I respond and kiss Liam’s head again.

“Meg,
you look good wearing a baby,” Luke remarks as he joins his wife, Olivia asleep
against his muscular chest.

“So
do you,” I wink at him, and he laughs.

“Stop
flirting with my brother-in-law,” Will scowls as he joins me. I stand and hand
him the baby.

“I’m
not flirting. I’m just paying extra attention to someone who’s very
attractive.” I reply seriously, my eyes wide and earnest, trying to hold the
grin in. Luke smirks and kisses his wife as Will’s scowl deepens.

“He’s
not attractive. He’s family.”

I
laugh, hard, grab my stomach and practically double over. “Will,” I gasp. “Have
you seen your family? You all look like you stepped out of an Abercrombie ad.”

“Do
not,” he mutters and kisses Liam’s tiny head.

“Yeah,
you do,” Natalie nods. “It’s a nice family to be a part of.”

“See?”

“So
getting spanked later,” he whispers to me as we join the others to eat.

“Dude,
give me my kid.” Isaac holds his hands out for the baby. “And I know he’s the
size of a football, but don’t pass him off to the wrong guy. You seem to have
issues with that today.”

“Fuck
you, Isaac,” Will growls as he hands the baby gingerly to his oldest brother.

“Mouth!”
Gail snaps.

“You’re
an asshole,” Will mutters at Isaac so their mother can’t hear them.

“I
was just giving you a hard time. Too soon?”

“Too
soon.”

“What
was the issue today, man?” Matt asks, now that the subject has been brought up,
and Will sighs, runs his hands down his face and sits heavily a chair, staring
down at his full plate of food.

“It
was just an off day,” he mumbles. “I think we took too long off last week.”

I
bite my lip. We were on vacation last week.

“Stop
it,” he catches my attention, his eyes fierce. “This is not your fault. I just
should have taken advantage of the hotel gym when we were gone.”

“It’s
okay, bro. Next week,” Caleb claps him on the shoulder and sits next to him
with a full plate.

And
just like that, the subject is dropped. Conversation continues around us, the
twins run and play in the yard, babies fuss.

It’s
loving, amazing, wonderful chaos.

And
I can’t believe I’m here.

“Hey,”
Jules nudges my leg under the table and leans in to chat with me so only I can
hear. “Have you heard from Leo?”

“No,”
I whisper to her.

“Not
at all?” She whispers back.

I
shake my head and keep my eyes on my food.

“How
long?”

“Three
years,” I whisper.

“I’m
sure his number hasn’t changed.” I meet her worried blue eyes with my own.

“Neither
has mine.”

She
nods and takes a bite of potato salad. “Good point.”

I
look up in time to see Brynna and Caleb share a look, then quickly turn away
from each other. What’s going on there? They’re obviously attracted to each
other, but they don’t really interact with each other. They just watch each other.

I’ll
have to ask Will later.

“So,
let’s talk wedding,” Jules claps her hands and bounces a bit in her chair while
the guys all groan.

“Can’t
you and the girls talk about the wedding later, when we can escape to watch
football or something?” Caleb asks, earning a glare from Jules.

“No.
We’re less than a month away. Besides, I don’t have much, Alecia is handling
most of it all anyway.” She takes a drink of wine and pulls out a list, causing
the guys to all groan again and I can’t help but giggle.

“The
date, as you all know, is October twelfth.  Six in the evening. You have
invitations with the address and all that crap.” She takes another drink as we
all listen, the guys fidgeting. “Since it’s just Luke and Nat in the wedding,
this is going to be easy on all of you. Dress nice, don’t give us any gifts,
and come ready to party.”

She
tucks the note back in her pocket and resumes eating.

“That’s
it?” Matt asks.

“Yep,”
she replies with a smile.

“You
didn’t tell us anything we didn’t know.”

“I
know, I just wanted to talk about my wedding for a minute.” She’s smug as she
takes a bite of steak and smacks her mouth as she chews. “Oh! And the
bachelorette party is next Sunday night.”

“Why
on a Sunday?” Sam asks with a frown.

“Because
we have some stupid business thing on Saturday.” Jules rolls her eyes and Nate
chuckles. “So, it has to be on Sunday. Every other weekend is full of wedding
and football crap.”

“I
love you too, sis,” Will throws a roll at her, and she blows him a kiss.

“So,
everyone just take Monday off work to recover.”

I
giggle to myself. Jules is so not a selfish woman, she just thinks that things
are simple. Like, everyone in the world should have no problem taking a day off
work to recover from a hang-over.

“You’re
coming,” she pins me with a glare, daring me to say otherwise. I quickly run
through my schedule in my head, aware that Will’s eyes are on me.

“I
believe I have next Sunday night off. I’ll let them know I’m not available for
on-call that night.”
