Collin takes the time to clean me up and dress me. I’m too tired to do it myself, so I let him. He changes the sheets, and we climb into the pool house bed.
He turns on a movie and we lay there and cuddle. I don’t pay much attention to what’s going on.
It’s not because his hand rubbing up and down my arm turns me on. No, It’s because just being here in his arms, with my head against his chest as I listen to the beating of his heart, makes me so damn happy. I take every second we have together and enjoy it, smiling as I hold him tightly, feeling safe and loved in the warmth of his arms.
Whatever happens, I know Collin will do whatever it takes to be with me. I just hope no one I love gets hurt. Including myself.
Chapter 24
Sadie
Thanksgiving is the time of year I love the most; next to Christmas, of course. It’s a time where my mom and I spend the whole day in the kitchen, cooking our favorite meal, talking, laughing, and just enjoying each other’s company.
And even though it’s not spent in our little cottage this year but in a new massive house, it’s still just as fun because it’s not where you are or what you cook, it’s who you’re doing it with.
“Oh my god.” I snort as Mom takes the turkey out. “What is that!” She places it on the stovetop and takes a step back.
“Why is this hanging out over the side of the roasting pan?” Mom asks, brow raised as she spins an amused look over to Grayson.
“You had my man’s dick shoved in his body. Had to at least give him a bit of dignity while you cooked it. Also, not eating that. Can’t betray a fellow male like that.” Grayson shudders with mock horror.
I roll my lips together, biting down a grin as his father shakes his head with a smile.
“I’m sorry, dick?” Mom asks, her own grin finding her lips.
“Yeah.” He nods. “When you asked me to take the turkey out and baste it.” He shoots me a wink, but I just roll my eyes. Leave it to Grayson to find ways to make everything dirty. “I saw it sticking out. Shame to do a man dirty.”
“Grayson.” I can’t help the laugh that escapes. “That’s not his dick.”
“It’s not?” He frowns.
“I apologize for my son,” Mark laughs. “We usually have chefs that make our holiday meals. He’s never seen a turkey neck before.”
“Neck?” Grayson’s gaze snaps to his father's. “That is his neck?”
“Why would you think this was his dick?” I laugh, holding up the neck. “I mean, look at the thing.”
“I just thought my man was hung.” Grayson almost sounds disappointed. “I really thought he was a lady’s man, getting all the girl turkeys.”
“You don’t even know if it was a guy; that could have been a girl, you know?” I ask, looking at my adorable boyfriend.
“Then I’d say she had a massive dick.” He snorts.
“Not a dick!” I burst out laughing. Mom sighs, shaking her head with a smile.
“You two, stop saying dick. It sounds weird. You're just kids.”
“Mom, don’t start acting like you're all innocent now,” I tease. “Don’t think I didn’t see you and Carol giggling over the box that got ‘miss-delivered’ to Carol,” I emphasize the last part using air quotes.
Mom’s face pales before going pink. “I have no idea what you’re talking about.” She spins around and puts the turkey back in the oven to cook some more before going over to stir the potatoes.
“Wait, what box?” Grayson asks.
“Yeah, love, what box?” Mark joins in, both of them grinning. I can see where Grayson get’s not only his handsome looks, but his charming personality. He’s his own man, but I see a lot of his father reflecting back. It’s not a bad thing. Mark is a great guy and treats my mom like a queen.
“When we went over the other day, Carol excitedly dragged Mom into the study. When I didn’t see them for a few minutes and heard a lot of giggling, I went to check. Found her and Caroldigging through a box of sex toys. Big massive dicks the size of my arm.” I hold up my forearm.
Mark's eyes widen as Grayson bursts into laughter. “No way. Headmistress was playing with sex toys?”
