Stripping Callum (Last Hangman MC Book 6)(86)

“Did you ask him to go with you?”

“No, he insisted. He came with me to confront my…I don’t even know what to call him now. Anyway, he was with me when I finished what I couldn’t finish when I was younger, and then he came with me to find you. He had to force me to leave or I would have stayed.”

“I wouldn’t have allowed you to see Elijah,” I groan, frustrated with myself.

“Why not?”

“I was too angry and wanted to hurt you as much as you hurt me.”

“Fair enough. Where did you go the next day?”

“You’re gonna laugh.” I grin at him sheepishly.

“I feel like I’m not going to laugh at all. As long as you weren’t at my cabin. Nancy forbid me from going there.”

“No, I wasn’t in your cabin. Although that’d have been a good idea.” I shrug.

“No, it wouldn’t have. It would have annoyed the hell out of me.” He chuckles.

“Why?”

“I don’t know. Maybe because I wanted to go hide there.”

“You didn’t shut everybody out?”

“No, for once I didn’t, although I wasn’t great company for the holidays.” He sighs.

“I’m sorry I ruined what was supposed to be our first Christmas together.”

“It’s alright. This house was going to be your present.” He brushes a strand of hair from my face.

“What?”

“Yeah, when I got out of the hospital, I’d want to find us a place for us to make our own and create memories.” He shrugs.

“You’re a bit awesome, you know that.”

“I know.” He smirks. “That doesn’t tell me where you we…you were at the f*cking safe house, weren’t you?” he groans, sounding frustrated with himself.

“What made you figure it out now?” I chuckle.

“Something Nancy said that just popped into my head.”

“What was it?”

“That you were in the safest place you could be. I can’t believe it didn’t click, and I didn’t go.”

“I’m glad you didn’t, I needed to come to terms with it and get over my stubbornness.”

“At least you really went to the safest place you could be in. I’m glad the girls gave you the address and security code number. Were you there since you left Denver?”

“Yeah, I didn’t know where else to go. I knew the place was stocked up with canned food and it’s secured. I have to say you guys have the place filled with enough stuff to last a zombie apocalypse and never be bored.” I chuckle.

“I know. We never know how long you ladies are going to have to stay there so we made sure everything was available.”

“I’m sorry for leaving you again,” I say softly.

“I’m sorry for being a dick, again.” He lifts my chin and kisses me passionately.

“New beginning?”

“New beginning.” He kisses me again and rolls us over so that he’s on top of me. He strips us of our clothes quickly.

The tip of his cock is pressing against my clit, and he’s ready to thrust into me when the door to our room bursts open. We just have time to move away from each other before Elijah jumps in bed with us.

“What are you doing here, buddy? You don’t like your new room?” Callum asks, sounding amused.

“I wanna sleep with you two.” He grins innocently, and I know sexy time has been cut short. Callum is unable to say no to Elijah.

“Just for tonight,” Callum tells Elijah who nods. “Okay then.” He chuckles and helps him get settled. He looks at me and mouths ‘sorry’.

“I love you both.” I chuckle and kiss them before putting my panties and shirt back on.

We might not get as much sexy time as we’d like with a kid in the house, but I’m beyond happy that we are finally back together and living in our new home.

I don’t think I’ve ever expected to be this happy. Hell, I never thought I’d ever get a second chance at life, but here it is. It all started the first time I came to New Orleans, and even though we’ve had our fair share of drama, things have been good. Hell, they’ve been more than good. Finding a boyfriend, a family, and countless friends is amazing.

In the beginning, there were only Gail, Suzie, and Danny. Slowly, people joined the circle and now we’re one big family.

Life is f*cking good.

Three months later

A few things changed in the past three months.

Nancy, Ayden, and Charline gave birth. Nancy had two baby girls, Michelle and Catherine. Ayden had another baby boy, Luke, and Charline had a baby girl, Ashley. All three were born around the same time. All the babies are healthy and so are the moms.

Elijah is happy as ever being back here and in our new home with Callum. These two are inseparable whenever they are together. If we’re watching TV, Elijah is in Callum’s lap. He cuddles up to him all the time, which gives me the opportunity to cuddle into Callum’s other side so it’s perfect.

He is now going to the school where Charline teaches and has made a lot of friends, which is reassuring because it wasn’t really the case in the other school. He hated it there in the end and after I took him out without any warning, they wouldn’t take him back, which turned into a blessing.
