“Oh, I have!”Penny chimes in, excitedly.“Once he was out for a run and I happened to be leaving to go to the store and passed him.Nearly drove off the fucking road.”
“If anyone needs to be dreaming about hot, shirtless guys it’s me,” Ellen joins in.“I’m the one with two kids who can pretty much sense when Will and I are horny and ruin it all.Get ready, Lu.You’re about to kiss your sex life goodbye.”
“Can’t wait till my entertainment consists of creeping on my shirtless employees,” Lauren jokes, waddling her way over to the table to sit down.“Sorry, girls, I get winded from standing too long.In a few minutes I’ll be heavy breathing like Darth Vadar.”
“Oh, I feel you,” Tessa laments.“I can’t even go up the stairs without sounding like a giant rhinoceros and then there’s the whole food thing.I could literally eat twenty-four hours a day and still want more.I’m going to be the size of a house by the time I deliver this baby.”
“Who cares,” Ellen says, walking over to sit down next to Lauren and we all follow and do the same.“It’s the one time in your life where you can do whatever the fuck you want and can pretty much tell anyone who judges you to fuck off.They should try growing a human.”
It’s hilarious to hear Ellen talk like this.I don’t know her very well, but I guess from the few times I’ve briefly met her, she’s always been all business.The longer I work here, the more I’m finding that I do enjoy spending time with everyone here.It really is like one big family.This is so different to where I previously worked and it’s still hard to believe places like this exist.
Lauren begins to open her gifts and while there aren’t very many of us here, she’s definitely been showered with presents.Bedding and bath items, clothes, car seats, baby carriers, strollers and tons and tons of diapers, which I imagine she’ll need given she’s having twins.
“Did you ever decide to find out whether the twins are boys, girls or both?”Ellen asks.“I’ve been dying to know.”
“You think I’d be able to keep it from you?”Lauren replies.“We decided we aren’t going to.There are very few surprises left in life and I want this to be one of them.”
“Same here,” Tessa adds.“Dylan is dying to know, but I keep telling him we’ll find out when the baby is here.It’s not like we’re going to trade the baby in if it’s not what he’s hoping for.”
We spend the rest of the night chatting and eating and laughing.With only Penny and me able to drink, and Ellen being Lauren’s designated driver, we polish off a couple of bottles of champagne, but I’m sure Leo is way more drunk.We all help Lauren load up Ellen’s SUV with her gifts so she can bring them home.Ellen gives her a ride and the rest of us walk over, to help her get things unpacked.Turns out I’m now a professional at unpacking since I finally got all my shit organized and put away, no thanks to Leo.
“I can’t wait to show you Lauren and Jack’s house,” Tessa says as we make our way over there and while I’ve seen the outside, I have yet to go inside and tour all of Tessa’s hard work.
We knock, but Tessa doesn’t wait for Lauren to say anything, she just opens the door and walks in.I follow her and am instantly blown away by how absolutely stunning the entryway is.If the house is this gorgeous in a space that people don’t spend much time in, I can only imagine what the rest of it looks like.
Tessa has an amazing eye for architectural details that really make every room unique and beautiful.She takes me on a quick tour, telling me all about what she did and how she designed it.I hope to one day have her design a home for me and build something this perfect.
We find Lauren, Ellen and Penny in the nursery, the cribs already put together and the room is already decorated.It’s so cute, all decked out in this blissful woodland motif with greens and grays and cream.We help her get the crib bedding put on and hang up the clothes in the closet and unpack anything that is still in boxes.It’s a pretty good night and when it’s time to go, it feels like the babies could come any day now since Lauren is ready.
As the night winds down, Ellen decides to stay the night with Lauren since the twins are spending the night with their grandparents and Will is still out with the guys.Guessing he’ll do the same when the guys finish up their night.
Tessa and Penny both head home and I do the same, biding everyone a goodnight, I make my way back to my little cottage.The night air is cool, but it feels so good.My life has really taken a turn.I thought moving out to the vineyard would be isolating and when Phoebe told me she was moving to France, I was expecting to be alone most of the time.But here I am with a hot guy living close by and having made a few new friends since taking this job.I do owe Dylan and Tessa a huge thank you for sticking their necks out to put in a good word for me.
As soon as I get home, I pull out my phone and text Leo.
Me: I’m home and horny.When are you coming to help me out?
Leo: You drunk??
Me: Not really, but I’m guessing you are.Can I have my way with you?
Leo: Leaving now.
Me: Don’t leave on my account.
Leo: I’m home and horny???That’s not supposed to make me want to leave?
Me: Hahaha.I’d come running if you said it, but you don’t need to.I have a drawer full of toys to keep me entertained.;)
The text message chain goes silent, and I wonder if he’s on his way or if the guys are giving him shit about trying to leave.My thought is answered when the front door opens and there’s Leo standing there looking so fucking hot, his dark eyes filled with lust as he looks me up and down.
“You have clothes on,” he slurs slightly, a wolfish grin on his face.“Take them off.”He stumbles a bit as he tries to kick off his shoes and it makes me laugh.
“You are drunk, huh?You want something to eat first?”I ask, realizing after the words leave my mouth that he’s going to come back with something dirty and I’m so ready for it.
“Something to eat?”he echoes back to me with a question in his words as he wets his lips.“You offering me your sweet pussy?”
I moan out loud, so turned on by him and the way he can make me wet with just a few simple words.I unbutton my jeans and shimmy out of them, I kick them to the side and pull my shirt over my head, standing there in just my bra and underwear.I hook a finger in Leo’s direction as I begin to walk back toward my bedroom, but he grabs hold of my wrist, yanking me back to him.He nips at my bottom lip, his tongue poking out to trail along where his teeth just touched.
