“Okay, you two are disgustingly happy together and it makes the rest of us sick, so can you please, for two minutes, manage to tear yourselves apart from each other,” Drew said, as he walked into the room.
Derek turned to glare at his cousin, not liking him much at that moment. Jasmine let him go, which furthered his dislike. She walked over to Drew and pulled his head down close, so she could kiss his cheek.
“You know you’re all talk. You’re going to fall head over heels in love soon and then I’ll get to pick on you. I love you to pieces Drew Titan and the lucky woman who gets to spend her life with you will be incredibly special,” she said. Drew’s face turned red, as he pulled Jasmine into a big hug.
“Okay, find your own woman and leave mine alone,” Derek told his cousin, before dragging him out of the room.
Jasmine watched them leave, her heart swollen with love. She had finally spoken to her father and it hadn’t gone well. He was a sad man and was running away from his problems. She was sad he’d rather she wasn’t in his life but she had a new family and they were the type of people you were proud to call your own.
“Something smells good in here but make sure you don’t overdo it,” Ryan said, as he came into the kitchen.
“You boys worry far too much, you know,” she said, as she gave him a hug. “The boys are all out at the pool,” she finished.
“Why don’t you take a break and join us, so we at least have a great view,” he asked her, with a wiggle of his brows.
“I think I’ll do that. My feet can use a break,” she told him and then threaded her arm through his and walked out back.
“What’s up with you lousy guys pawing all over my wife?” Derek asked, as they stepped out the door.
“When your wife is so extremely hot, it’s too difficult to keep your hands off her,” Ryan said, as he bent to kiss her cheek. She smacked him and then settled down into one of the comfortable lounge chairs.
Derek immediately headed over towards her and pulling up a chair and lifting her feet onto his lap. He immediately started rubbing them. She moaned in pleasure, as he inserted just the right amount of pressure.
“You can stop in about ten years,” she said, on a moan of pleasure. He leaned over and kissed her gently, before continuing. The family all came and surrounded them and as she looked around, she knew her life was so much better than it had ever been. The baby kicked her gently in the ribs and she smiled. “Don’t worry, I know you’re there,” she whispered and then she counted her blessings, as she knew she’d do the rest of her life.
