“Will you marry me, Tanya Roberts?”
21
CHANDLER
For the next month, I spend all of my time with Sophia and Tanya in Willow Creek, living with them in their little cabin. After Tanya admitted her fears to me on the rooftop of the penthouse, I made it my life’s mission to make sure she never has them again. I don’t want her to ever have to sacrifice anything again. Almost losing her the first time should have woken me up but hearing that I was so close to it happening again gave me the kick in the ass that I needed.
We’ve been spending all our free time planning for the baby, the wedding, and the rest of our lives. I didn’t want them to have to give up the place that has been their home for so long, so I made some changes to make sure that wouldn’t happen.
I gave Jillian a raise and a promotion so that she could be me while I’m in Willow Creek. Tanya and I have decided that during the school year we will all live here in Willow Creek, I will travel to the city for important meetings that I can’t schedule over Zoom, and Jillian will handle anything that needs to be done in person when I can’t be there. During the summers, we will live in the penthouse in the city so that Sophia and the baby can have exposure to both worlds.
I was able to convince Tanya that she didn’t have to work during the summers, but she wanted to keep working at the Cozy Corner Café while we are in Willow Creek. I have more than enough money for her to never have to work, but she’s determined to keep a job. At this point, I think she knows that she can get anything she wants from me. I will never be dumb enough to push her away again.
I made a promise to her on that roof a month ago that I would do everything in my power to make sure she and our children were happy, and I’m going to do that. Sophia has been ecstatic that I’m living with them permanently, and we’ve developed a routine as a family.
So far, I’ve been able to handle working less. I don’t think it would have happened without Jillian, and both Tanya and I are grateful for everything she has done. She has proven that she can handle the company well, and sometimes, I think she gives me a run for my money. Tanya likes to joke that Jillian is going to take over the company one day and run it for me. Honestly, I wouldn’t mind it. My focus is my family, like it should have been from the beginning.
I’ve been able to be there for all of Sophia’s school events and go to all of Tanya’s doctor’s appointments for the baby, and I don’t know how I ever could have let myself miss all of this.
It’s November, and the house is decorated for Thanksgiving; it’s the first time in many years that I haven’t worked the holiday season. Sophia is off for the week, and I’m currently sitting outside on the porch of the cabin, drinking a hot cup of tea while I wait for Tanya to get home from a night out with Kayla. Sophia is already in bed, and I have plans for my fiancé when she gets home.
We’ve been taking things slow again. Trying to work on our relationship for real this time before we add more intimate things into the mix, but tonight I want my girl in my arms all night. I miss feeling her naked body against mine, and I know she’s been missing it too. All week I’ve been catching her checking me out, and the heated look in her eyes tells me exactly what she’s thinking.
Her beautiful form appears at the edge of the trees that lead to the center of town, and I watch her as she walks up to the house and up the stairs. My eyes track up and down her body, lingering on the small bump that is starting to show under her shirt. She smiles at me, and when she sees the look on my face, her smile drops and her eyes heat.
“And what exactly are you doing out here?”
She walks right up to me and steps between my legs, placing her hands on my shoulders before placing her legs on either side of me and straddling my lap on the loveseat we have set up at the end of the porch.
I put my tea down on the railing next to me and grip her hips in my hands, squeezing and pulling her center tight against me. She sighs and wraps her arms around my neck, pulling herself even closer, until there is no room left between us.
“I’ve been out here thinking about how I can’t wait for my fiancé to get home so that I can take her upstairs and worship every inch of her perfect body.”
Her breathing picks up, and I lean in to run my lips up and down her neck, making her moan and squirm on my lap, creating a friction that has me hard in an instant.
“Is Soph asleep?”
I nod and bite down on the swell of her breast that is peeking out of her shirt.
“She’s been out for half an hour.”
Tanya stands and takes my hand in hers, walking backward a few steps and pulling me to stand and follow her.
“I want you.” Her voice is low with desire, and heat spreads through my body.
I lift her into my arms, her legs wrapping around my hips, and walk us into the house. Her little bump where she carries our baby boy presses into my stomach, and it makes me smile. I love seeing her pregnant with our child. I stop at the bottom of the stairs and cup the back of her head, pulling her face to mine and kissing her hard until she has to pull back to breathe. I set her down on her feet, making sure her body slides against mine the whole time, then turn her and push her gently to start walking up the stairs. I don’t want to risk tripping and falling with her in my arms.
On the way to our room, she stops to check on Sophia and make sure she’s still sound asleep while I stand in the doorway and watch as she tucks our baby girl in and softly kisses her head. Seeing my girls always makes me realize how lucky I am to have them. It makes me emotional at times to see them together.
Tanya softly closes her door and takes me by the hands again, dragging me into our room and closing the door behind us, making sure it’s locked. She pushes me back onto it and starts kissing and sucking at my neck. I groan and pull her hips flush with mine, grinding into her.
“It’s been way too long since you’ve been inside of me, Chandler Bishop. I want you.”
“Fuck, baby. I want you too.”
I spin us so that her back is to the door and kiss my way down her body until I’m kneeling in front of her. I lift her shirt up and let her take over taking it off as I place a kiss on her stomach before undoing her jeans and sliding them down her thick thighs, reaching around to squeeze her perfect ass in my hands. I can hear how breathless she is as I lean in and kiss the top of her mound through her panties.
She slides her hands into my hair that’s much longer than I usually have it and tugs gently, making me moan into her. I grip the sides of her panties and slide them down her legs, not bothering to wait for them to hit the floor before I lean in and lick her slit from bottom to top, sliding my tongue in and circling her clit.
