Blinding Trust (Mitchell Family, #7)(5)

Zeke just stared at my boy. Now, I know when he was a baby it was probably difficult to tell, but Noah looked identical to me.

I walked up to unlock the door and hesitantly turned around. “Did you want to come in?”

Zeke looked around at the girls and then back to me. “I’ll come back before I leave town. You guys are just getting back and I don’t want to just barge in.”

I shook his hand. “Next time, just call first.”

I watched him walk toward the back of the house and before the girls were on the porch, a large black limo drove down the dirt lane.

Savanna looked right at me as she walked up the porch steps. “If you knew about this, so help me God, Colt.”

“Darlin’, I can explain.”

She carried Addy over to the couch and turned on Disney for her and Christian, before walking into the kitchen, folding her arms, and waiting for my explanation.

Noah came running in the room. “Dad, who was that guy? Did you see his car? He must be rich!”

Noah didn’t understand enough about money to realize that our family had it, as well. I knew what he meant. He meant that the man was famous rich. “Yeah, he must be, buddy. Can you go into the livin’ room and keep an eye on your sister’s for a second?”

He rolled his eyes and stomped into the living room. “Why do I always have to watch them?”

“Boy, don’t you get smart.”

After I knew he wasn’t around, I turned my attention to my angry wife. “Colt, tell me you didn’t know he was coming.”

“I didn’t. I mean, I knew he was in town, but we never talked about him stopping by.”

Her eyes got big and if she could have, she would have been breathing fire. “What do you mean, you knew? How long have you known? Is he the person who called you? How could you not tell me something like that?”

I grabbed both of her arms and pulled her close to me. “I didn’t say anything because I thought he would leave town and forget all about seeing Noah.”

She pushed me away. “WHAT? Did you tell him he could?”

I held my arms up, trying to get her to calm down. “I didn’t exactly tell him yes. You’re makin’ it sound way worse than it is, darlin’.”

She turned around and started loading the dishwasher. “Don’t you even call me darlin right now!” I could hear it in her voice that she was crying.

“Savanna, Noah knows that you’re his mother. We haven’t kept Krista a secret though. I don’t see how this could change anything. Just calm down and be rational. Noah’s home is here. He’s happy. Just because his rockstar uncle wants to meet him, doesn’t mean anything is goin’ to change.” I wrapped my arms around her waist and kissed the inside of her neck. “I’d never let anything happen to our family.”

She finally turned around and let me hug her the right way. “I know. I just don’t want to lose him, Colt. I love him so much.”

“You’re never goin’ to lose him. Never!”

My wife had finally calmed down, but that was just the beginning of what was to come. Zeke was going to keep trying to see Noah and I knew that the actual visit was going to kill Savanna.

I got it. I understood that she didn’t want her little boy tainted. We’d always let Noah know that his mother loved him. Having an uncle that was still living, and a rockstar, well that was going to excite him. The tractors that he collected could soon be stashed away in a closet and replaced with band posters and guitars. It was something that even I wasn’t prepared to handle.

That night, before the girls woke and ended up sleeping between us, I cuddled up next to my wife. She was playing some game on her kindle that she played every night before bed. “The kids are all asleep in their rooms, for a change.”

“I know. I helped put them there.” She giggled.

“Are you goin’ to put down that game and give me some lovin’, or do I have to take what I want while you’re still playin’?”

She cocked her eyebrow. “The second choice sounds kind of hot.”

I grabbed the waist to her pajama pants and yanked them down past her hips. She lifted up her ass to help get them down easier. I pushed up her little top to reveal her belly button and placed tender kisses all around it. She bit down on her lip like she always did. Her panties came down next, well, after I licked them until they were wet on the outside. With each stroke of my tongue, I felt her body pushing into me. I wasn’t the only person who was horny in our bed. That made it even hotter.

Once she wasn’t wearing any bottoms, I took it upon myself to slowly take her top and push it over her breasts. I need to see them; to feel them with the palms of my hands. I knew when I’d gotten to her nipples, because they hardened with my first touch. I heard her little reading device hit the floor and knew I had her complete attention.

Savanna ran her hands through my hair, gripping it as I pinched both of her nipples and kissed the inside of her left leg. She lifted it, allowing me to kiss even further inside. Her body reacted to my touch the same way it always had. I could still tickle her with my kisses and drive her crazy with my touch.

It was more than just being with Savanna, nowadays. Since the kids were always around, we had to be more spontaneous.

Before getting myself too invested, I climbed off the bed and headed over to lock the door. We didn’t want any little visitors catching us naked together.
