‘Not that anybody fought me on it,’I thought with a smile as I took a deep dish of bubbling lasagna out the oven and put it on the table with the garlic bread and salad. Putting two fingers in my mouth, I took a deep breath and let out a piercing whistle, then shouted, “Supper’s on the table.”
It didn’t take long for everyone to gather. Adam buckled Emy into her highchair. Johnny came to me with a smile, pulling out my chair so I could sit down, “A ghrá, that whistle is enough to wake the dead.”
“It gets you all here, doesn’t it?” I grin at him, kissing his cheek. Going to help Jackson but see Liam is already sorting him, Emy is already piling food into her mouth like she hasn’t eaten in days.
Colm catches my eye and winks at me. Adam is, as usual, quietly watching everything, but he’s smiling, so I know all is good with him.
Johnny’s hand is heavy on my thigh when he gives it a little squeeze. I tilt my head to look athim enquiringly.
“Thank you,a ghrá.”
“For what?” I ask, puzzled.
“For this,” he whispers in my ear. “We’re a family again and it’s all down to you.Stór Mo Chroí,Mrs. O’Shea.”
“Love you too, Mr. O’Shea. And just so you know, there will be another O’Shea with us later this year,” I say loud enough for the whole table to hear.
I’d told Johnny this morning, he’d been ecstatic and would have shouted it from the rooftops then and there, but I’d wanted to wait until we were all together tonight to announce it.
A resounding cheer made me laugh. Colm pulled me up from my chair, hugging me into a tight embrace, tears in his eyes.
“Thank you,iníon.”
Standing on tiptoes, I kissed his grizzled cheek, “No thanks needed, Da. This baby is going to be so blessed to have all of you. Best thing I ever did was get your son slapped,” I cackled with laughter.
Colm laughed along with me, before allowing me to sit back down and going back to his ownplace.
It was a good night filled with love and laughter just like I liked it and through it all, Johnny was there, loving and living right alongside me.
I liked to think he was my reward for all the shit that had happened to me before I met him.
He always says I saved him, but for me it was the other way around. He saved me.
CHAPTER 14
JOHNNY
My life had changed so much in the last months. We’d had a quiet Christmas just the family, but Da had turned up with another surprise for us on Boxing Day. It had been a good one, if not an unexpected one.
Pulling up to the back door of The Lounge, I was hit with déjà vu from when I’d surprised Maya in my office last year. We wouldn’t be able to make use of the desk this time around because her belly had popped in the last week and I couldn’t get enough of it. I’d never thought of a pregnant woman as sexy, but Maya carrying our baby did it for me in ways that surprised me. We didn’t get much time alone, so when we did, we made up for it. With that thought in mind, I hurried out of my vehicle and through the back door of The Lounge, making sure to lock and arm thealarm before going to find my woman.
And find her I did, sitting in my office chair, naked and waiting. Stopping in the doorway, I rested my hands on the door frame. Tilting my head, I took my time to leisurely peruse her from the top of her head to her painted pink toes.
“Mmh,milseán,what would you have done if it wasn’t me?”I growled.
Maya shrugged and grinned, “But it was you.”
“Lucky for you,” I rumble, licking my lower lip, my eyes rising from her pussy, up her bump to her plush breasts and finally to her twinkling eyes.
“Indeed,” she agreed, shifting in the chair.
“Open your legs, and show me what’s mine,” I demanded, sauntering closer, pulling my shirt off and over my head, throwing it on the couch. Dropping to my knees in front of Maya, I smile at the wetness of her curls.
“Feeling a little needy today,a ghrá?”
“So needy, Johnny,” Maya whimpered as I ran my nose along her folds, hips bucking up against my face.
Not making her wait, I ran my tongue up her slit to her clit, circling and sucking, as sherocked her hips against my face, taking what she needed from me.
