With the help of Jameson, he did. Since his wife andlittle girl had died, Van hadn’t been around much of anyone. When I first methim, he was withdrawn but sweet. But ever since Axel was born, Van had becomemore open and welcoming with us all. He had no one but his parents and in-lawsand now he had us.
The more time he spent around Jameson, Spencer and Aidenthough, the more he resembled a Riley.
All of that aside, when it came to our safety, Van wasall business, particularly when it came to Axel now. Anywhere we went thesedays, Van was with us with his eyes fixated on me and the baby.
Charlie was up around seven and smoking pot in the backyard when the Lucifer twins tried to go out there with him. Andrea had toexplain that he was taking his medicine and they should not be around him.
Lucas threw a complete fit that resembled that child outof the movieProblem Child. The only difference being Lucas had brownhair, not red.
“I just want to go out there with Charlie!” Lucasscreamed.
This went on for a good hour, the Lucifer twins throwingfits over everything. Lane watched in amusement and when Axel finally woke upfrom his catnap, he too gazed at them.
At least that’s what I thought. The kid couldn’t see morethan a foot in front of himself though so he was probably staring at Jamesonand me wondering what in the hell went wrong when he was assigned his parentalunits.
Thoughts of finding him a therapist resurfaced. I’d needto get on that sooner rather later.
Van finally showed up and joined the drinking game theboys were playing. I couldn’t figure out exactly what they were playing but Ialso never took the time to. I spent most of my time feeding Axel and handinghim around to everyone.
I wondered if they ever got motion sickness from all thehandling. I know if someone passed me around like that I’d be hurling all overthem. But I wouldn’t mind being all swaddled and warm like he was. I wouldn’tmind being rocked to sleep either, that did look appealing to me.
After a few hours of all this madness, we decided to stayhere tonight with the roads being icy and Jameson was drunk to the point he wasnow slurring his words.
“Three...two...one...HappyNew Year!” we all yelled together as we welcomed the New Year.
Jameson turned to me, smiling, and pulled me hard againsthis chest. “Happy New Yearwife,” His voice was low and gravelling and Iwas shaking. It was hard to believe that just his voice could set my body onfire, but it did, or was it the lack of sex that had something to do with it.
“Let’s go to bed...”he suggested and began kissing down the side of my neck, pulling my sweateraway, nipping at my skin.
“We can go to bed...butyou need to keep your hands to yourself mister.” I poked his chest.
His hand came up to rub the spot I poked, still smirking.“We can dootherstuff...we’regood atotherstuff.”
He had a very good point there. If anything, the two ofus hadotherstuff down to a fine art.
“You mean like reciprocating motion?” I asked with agiggle.
He growled pushing me against the wall in the hallway. “Fuckhoney...don’t tease me.”
Once inside my old room, we were settled on the bed in avery heated over the clothes make-out session with reciprocating motion and alittle with a little porting of the heads but to be fair, the clothes weredisappearing quickly. His hands were so sure, so strong, and so completelyinescapable as he moved against me.
“Whaa...Whaa...Whaa!”
Great timing kid!
Jameson sighed. His head fell forward against mycollarbone but his hips continued to move against mine wanting more but so didAxel and let out another cry.
“Seriously?” he grunted, still moving.
“Get used to it daddy.” Pushing against his shoulders, Iflashed him a smile that resembled Bob Barker off that Price is Right show.“We’re parents now.”
Jameson just laughed and laid back against the headboard,adjusting himself.
I retrieved Axel from the bassinette and when I pickedhim up, he made his signature puppy whimpering and snuggled closer to me.Laying him on the bed, I prepped myself for breastfeeding.
“I can’t look at those,” Jameson looked away. “I’llget distracted again.”
I giggled while Axel whimpered again and started rooting hishead around, searching for his foodbags. When I got him situated, he went rightto town.
