I don’t realize that
I’ve fallen asleep until Luke gently shakes me. I open my eyes and
turn to look at him. “Candi just had the baby. It’s a girl.”

“Oh wow. Can we see
her?”

“In a few minutes. My
parents are with them now, and then Yasmin and Scott are going in.
We’re after them.”

“Being married to the
godfather has some perks.”

He laughs. “That and
the fact that we both have to be up early tomorrow.”

We wait about ten
minutes, and then we’re told it’s our turn. We walk down the hall
and into the hospital room. Candi’s lying there looking tired but
as beautiful as ever. Owen is sitting on the bed next to her holding
the baby. We walk over and my breath catches. She’s beautiful, and
when she opens her eyes, they’re the Griffin green.

“Meet Hope Margaret.”

Luke’s eyes are
glistening a little as Owen hands him his daughter. “She’s so
perfect, Owe.”

“Why are you telling
him? I’m the one who gave birth.”

Luke leans over and
kisses her on the cheek. “I know, Candi. She’s as beautiful as
you.”

I let little Hope grab
my pinkie and play with it. “You’re going to need a shotgun,
Owen. With Candi’s beauty and your eyes, boys are going to be lined
up at your house.”

“They can line up all
they want. My girl will just send them away.”

“Sure she will. We’re
her parents and you think she won’t be a little wild?”

“I’m hoping now
that we’re settled down she won’t know any of that.”

“We’ll be more
settled soon.”

I look over to Candi.
“Does this mean you’re getting married soon?”

She looks sheepishly at
Owen. “I suck at secrets.”

“Yeah, you do. But I
love you, so it’s all good.” He looks to me and Luke then. “We’re
getting married in a month. We wanted to wait for your graduations
and then Alex’s so we didn’t interfere with anyone else’s
spotlight.”

“You know I don’t
care about that. You could get married on my graduation day, bro, and
I’d be so fucking happy. I love the two of you.”

“We love you, too,
Luke. I’m so glad we’ve become close. You’re one of my best
friends. It’s actually all because of you, Liv.”

“Me? You mean because
I put myself in a dangerous situation and had to call for help?”

“You didn’t put
yourself there. The idiots I was hanging out with put you there, and
so did I. I can only say that while I’m sorry, I can’t regret
meeting you.”

“Enough about that
night. You know Ryan and Chloe are going to be wanting to come in
soon, so let’s just look at this beautiful girl.”

We ooh and ahh over
Hope for a few more minutes, and then Luke hands her back to Owen so
we can let the others in. I hug Candi and kiss Owen on the cheek
before we go. Chloe and Ryan are right outside the door when we open
it, and we say goodbye to them before going back to the waiting room
to see everyone else. After we hug and kiss everyone, we ride the
elevator down together.

“I’ll see you at
home where I’m going to make love to you so sweetly you’ll forget
we ever fought,” Luke whispers to me after walking me to my car.

I shiver and then kiss
him hard. “I’ll be waiting.”

“Not for long.”

I drive home and barely
have time to put my rings on—Luke likes it when I wear them while
we’re making love—before he’s in the door and heading for me.
He picks me up and carries me upstairs to our bed. We undress
ourselves because it’s faster and then he’s on me. Two hours
later, we’re both so tired that we fall asleep on the floor because
that’s where we were the last time he made me come.

Chapter 17

Olivia

It’s graduation day
and I’m both excited and nervous. I did manage to pass all my
classes, and while I’m happy to be graduating, I wish I could
openly share this with Luke. I’ve felt like maybe the party tonight
wasn’t such a good idea, but it was too late to back out. I hope we
can hide our feelings and just get through it.

I’m at my apartment
because my parents wanted us to drive over to the graduation
together. I could tell Luke wanted to fight me on this, but he just
sighed and kissed me goodbye this morning. I promised to meet him
back at the house after graduation, though. I told my parents I
wanted some alone time.

The ceremony goes well,
and then we stay for Luke’s graduation. My parents don’t really
want to, but they also don’t want to offend the Griffins.
Appearance is everything, after all. Rose and I cheer loudly for
Luke. I can’t help myself and I hope he hears me. My parents frown
at me, but I just shrug like it’s no big deal.

I arrive back at our house before
Luke and go upstairs to get ready for the party. I’d found a cute
dress to wear—I’m not totally in love with it, but it’s nice.
When I walk into the bedroom, I’m met with a sea of balloons with
little stuffed animals tied to all of them. Past them I see a
gorgeous dress and shoes on the bed. I walk over and pick up the note
that’s there with them.

Ollie,

I know you aren’t in love with the dress you bought, but I hope
you love this one. I can’t wait to see you in it!

I love you,
Luke

I start to cry as I
pick up the dress. I can’t believe he did this for me. Actually, I
can. That doesn’t make it any less amazing, though. The dress has a
combination of red and beaded fabric draped across the front with
black fabric in the middle, and then wavy bands of black on the
bottom. The back has a sheer panel on top and then leads to low
draped red, black, and gray fabric with the black waves coming around
the back, similar to the front. It’s beyond sexy, and my parents
will hate it, but I can’t wait for Luke to see me in it. The shoes
are black heels with crystals in a cool pattern.

I strip off my clothes
and put on the dress and heels, then do my hair in a funky twist. I
put on smoky eye makeup and red lipstick. I decide to wait in Luke’s
office for him. That’s where my graduation presents for him are.
I’ll just be an added present. I hope he wants to unwrap me before
we leave.

“Ollie, are you up
here?” I hear Luke coming up the stairs as he calls to me.

“I’m in your
office.”

He opens the door.
“Why’re you in…holy shit!”

“Do you like it?”

“I fucking love it,”
he tells me as he takes in the large flat screen, the built in
shelves, the recliner, and all the little teacher knickknacks and
hockey memorabilia I found. I told him he couldn’t come in here the
past couple of days because I wanted him to see it all today.

“I wanted to give you
a cool man cave to escape to.” I spent all my savings and a big
chunk of my credit cards’ available balances to do this room for
him. It’s worth every penny as I see that he really does love it.

“I don’t ever want
to escape from you, but this is seriously cool.”

“I loved my presents,
too.”

He looks me over, that
killer smile of his lighting up his face. “You’re so damn hot.
Not just in that dress. I’m going to be hard all day.”

“Are you hard now?”
I sashay my hips a little as I walk to him.

“Do you even have to
ask?”

I reach out and stroke
him through his pants. “I haven’t put my panties on yet.”

His eyes widen, and
then I’m on his desk with my legs spread wide. His hands move over
my thighs until they reach where I’m wet and waiting. “We don’t
have much time.”

“Then hurry up and
get your cock out.”

He does just that, and
at one point, I think his desk might break. It somehow holds up, and
we rest there for a minute before getting ready to leave. I put on my
panties and he straightens his clothes before we get in our separate
cars and head to the party.

Luke

I arrive at the party a
few minutes after Olivia. We’re both late, but I don’t care. I
had to have my wife before we left. She looks so hot in the dress I
bought her. I’m planning on convincing her to sneak away during the
party, too.

I see her talking to
her family. Her mother’s gesturing to her dress and frowning.
Olivia seems to be holding her own. I’m glad for that. Maybe I can
convince her to tell them tonight. Before I can contemplate a plan of
action, Steph comes up and hugs me.

“Can you believe
we’re done?”

“It’s great, huh?”

“I didn’t realize
you and your tutoring friend had gotten close enough to have a party
together.”

“What’s your
problem, Steph?”

She reaches out and
runs her fingers over my tie. “You never call anymore.”

I pull her hand off me.
“I never called you before unless it was class related. So why
would I call you now?”

“You know you loved
that night as much as I did.” She tries to reach for me again, and
I step back.

“I
liked
that night. There was no love involved. I thought I was clear about
everything.”

“You said the words,
but you can’t mean them. We’re perfect for each other.”

“I
did
mean them, and we’re definitely not perfect for each other. You
were invited today because I thought we were friends. If you can’t
understand that we’ll never be more, maybe you should go.”

Instead of having the
desired effect of getting her to back off, my words seem to spur her
on. She reaches for me, and before I can react, she kisses me hard. I
push her off me immediately, wiping my mouth. “Get the fuck out.”
I’m loud and I don’t care. I warned her.

She looks shocked, and then resigned
as she storms out of the party. I look around for Olivia. She’s
looking at me and her eyes are wet. Oh, Hell no. I take out my phone
to text her.

Me: I had no clue she was still into me. You KNOW I don’t want
her.

I see her look at her phone, but she
doesn’t answer me right away. I’m about to go to her, her parents
be damned, when she finally texts back.

Ollie: I DO know. It was just hard to see her kiss you. You pushed
her off right away, so it’s all good :)

Thank God.

Me: Meet me inside in 15 min? We can go up to one of the guest
rooms. I NEED you again.

She smiles when she reads that
message.

Ollie: I NEED you too. See you in 15!

I make the rounds and
exchange some small talk with friends of the family. My family had
all congratulated me already after the ceremony, but they do it again
here. My brothers all give me shit about being the youngest, but I
laugh it off. I go inside early to pick a room for us and then I text
my wife.

At exactly the fifteen
minute mark, she walks in the door, locking it behind her. I chose
the girly room with the four poster king bed. It’s all pinks and
flowers. “Ooh, I like this room.”

“I knew you would.”

“You know me so
well.”

“I do. I know what’s
going to make you come, too.”

“Oh yeah?” She
stops at the end of the bed.

I pull her to me.
“Yeah.”

I kiss her slowly at
first, savoring her lips. She takes it deeper, curling her tongue
around mine. Her hands are working, unbuttoning my shirt and then
undoing my tie. I have my hands under her dress, pulling her thong
down her legs. She steps out of it and then pulls my shirt off. I
break the kiss for a moment to pull her dress over her head and then
we both work on my pants.

Once we’re both
naked, I scoot back on the bed with her on top of me. “You wanna
ride, honey?”

“God, yes.”

I groan as she climbs
onto my erection and slides all the way down. We sit there for a
moment, both caught up in how good it feels. Olivia reaches out and
grabs the back of my head, taking my mouth again as she moves up and
then down again. I grasp her hips even though I don’t need to help
her. She knows our rhythm and sets it right away.

I move my mouth from
her lips to kiss her jaw and then down to her neck. I bite her ear
and then nibble on her neck and collarbone. She arches for me,
knowing I want her tits. I take one in my mouth and suck on her
nipple. After giving it the attention it deserves, I switch to the
other one. She’s losing control as I suck and lick them both, back
and forth. My hands slide down and I use one to part her, while the
fingers of the other one start rubbing her clit.

She’s bucking hard
now, and I can feel myself getting close. I can only hold off for so
long, which means I need to push her over. I let her nipple pop out
of my mouth and tilt my head to whisper in her ear. “That’s it,
Ollie, come for me.”

“Close, Luke, so
close.”

“What do you need
besides my cock and fingers?” I know the answer but I want to hear
it.

“Your mouth. Put your
mouth back on me.”

I smile and then take a
nipple back into my mouth, biting down on it this time. She screams
and then comes hard on my cock. It’s more than enough to send me
over, and I yell her name as I jerk my hips and start shooting
everything I have into her. Once we both stop, she collapses onto me.
We’re both breathing hard.

“I didn’t think it
could keep getting better, but it does.”

“Yes it does.”

“We should get back
down there before they start looking for us.”

“I know. Is there any
chance we could go down there together?”

I feel her stiffen.
“I-I just can’t, Luke.”

“I had to ask.”
Damn it. There goes my hopes for tonight. I try not to let her see
how upset I am while we get dressed, but she’s my wife, and she
knows.

“Soon, Luke. I
promise. I love you.”

“I love you, too.
Soon is good, though. I really want to tell my family.”

“I know. Soon.”

I nod and then go back
to the party first. Olivia comes out a minute later, and my mom calls
everyone over to an area by the pool. I don’t know what’s going
on, but she obviously has something planned. Knowing her, it will be
pretty awesome.
