Xavier FINAL (Men of Steel #4) (30 page)

“I was looking at the--,” I cleared my throat and coughed. “Bullshit, I mean pamphlet.
I was looking over your services and didn’t see Prince Albert. Do you do them?”

Jase chuckled and Zandor whispered, “Here we go.”

“If it’s not on there then no we don’t.”

“Do you know what it is?”

“Yes we do. We just don’t have anyone that specializes in that yet.”

“Oh I see. Well you
pierce cocks right?”

“We do penis piercing yes.” She was growing sick of my shit I could tell.

“That leaves us out Bro’s.” I laughed.

“Oh I’m sorry to hear that none of you have a penis?” She snickered.

Jase was beside me in two seconds and he winked at me.

“What he’s saying Miss?” She started to answer and he laughed, “Oh never mind not
like it matters. We don’t have penis’s we have cocks. Big--.”

“Huge,” I corrected him.

“Enormous,” Zandor walked up.

“Fucking perfect,” Cyrus chuckled.

“We came to be neighborly. Shit you forgot the lasagna man. We should do something
else nice then.” Jase gave me that look.

“Hell yeah we should.”

We both unzipped at the same time and pulled out our cocks. “This is a Prince Albert.
No one who does this shit for real calls it a penis piercing.”

“Call the cops.” One of the guys came up to the counter.

“You’re offended by our dicks but you’re gonna play like you know your shit?”

“You four leave or I’m calling the cops.”

“We got the number if you need it,” I laughed as I pushed myself back in my pants.

“Great guys.” Cyrus laughed. “I got the number right here.”

“Let’s go.” Jase zipped up.

“Nice to meet you. You need anything; nah fuck it. Call someone who gives a fuck.”
Zandor laughed.

We walked out, all of us laughing.

“Fuck I missed you assholes.”

“Of course you did,” Zandor threw his arm around me. “I still wanna see if your girl’s
tits are as big as my balls.”

“Okay, you I didn’t miss.”

~

We spent four hours at the shop trying to convince Kat and Ricco that things would
still be just fine. They talked about relocating and the four of us all agreed that
we don’t run from shit. We stand tall and proud of what we have created together.

The four of us also realized how much we miss this place and after a few beers decided
we would spend at least five hours a week here. Jase was in rare form too. I hadn’t
seen him let loose in forever and he sure as hell did today.

When we got in the car he called Carly.

“Wife, prepare yourself. I’m about to reacquaint you with a screaming orgasm.” He
stopped talking and then whispered, “Multiple.” He listened again. “Yes a little oral.”
He groaned and hung his head. “Half an hour.” He sat back. “Awe for fuck sake’s Carly
just have your naked ass in bed when I get there.” He laughed. “If I hear any more
out of you I’ll gage you, see you soon baby.”

“You sure you remember how?” Zandor laughed.

“We have sex Zandor. I’m just less--.”

“Of a man?” Cyrus laughed.

“Laugh now, wait until Tara is knocked up, you’ll want to be gentle too.”

“Nah.” Cyrus had a shit eating grin on his face.

“Okay tell me that when she’s pregnant.”

He chuckled.

He looked up at me and we locked eyes. Very discreetly he shook his head no.

I smiled and looked at the ground then up and he winked.

We went to Cyrus’s place first to drop him off and I made up some bullshit about needing
to grab something because I had to know.

We walked in and he looked at me, “Don’t ask ‘cause I won’t answer you.”

“You happy?”

“Un- fucking- believably happy bro.”

“When is she--.”

“Can’t say shit. We get married next weekend that happens first. I want her to have
that moment. I want her to have everything that she lost.”

I gave him a hug, “Lips are sealed.”

I grabbed a bottle of wine out of the fridge. “Gotta make it look good.”

“We don’t need it anyways. See you Sunday?”

“See you Sunday.”

~

I punched in the code, opened the door, kicked of my shoes, and walked into the kitchen.
I grabbed two glasses out of the cupboard, grabbed the wine. Then I skipped my happy
ass up the stairs. I had to say I was sorry, explain I was being a douche, give her
a sweet kiss, some puppy dog eyes, a glass of wine, and then she was getting the D.

I had this shit all figured out.

Chapter 27

The Girls

I threw up for an hour straight before I called my Mom after Mrs. Steel had dropped
me off. Yes even at my age I wanted her when I wasn’t feeling well. She convinced
me that I should go to the doctors. It was flu season and I had forgotten to get my
shot.

I called a cab, I didn’t want to bother James and I didn’t want to upset Xavier more
than I already had.

They got me right in and did the nasal swab test. While I waited they did blood work
and a urine sample. It was a half an hour before they came back in. The nurse informed
me that I didn’t have the flu. She thought I had a cold. I was sent home and told
to sleep and drink as much water as I could.

I called Mom to let her know I was fine. She asked that I please come home during
spring break. I agreed to. It would be just a Friday and through the weekend. I told
her work was busy and important to me.

I didn’t tell her I was in love with Xavier. I didn’t want her to think I was crazy
or tell me it was too soon. I had been telling myself that enough I didn’t need outside
reinforcements.

I looked at me phone several times before I finally fell asleep.

~

I woke feeling the bed dip behind me, “Taelyn.” His lips touched my neck first. “I’m
sorry about earlier. It won’t happen again.” I pretended to be asleep. “It’s only
seven o’clock, wake up and tell me you accept my apology.”

“Tell me what I did. That’s all I asked earlier. Please just tell me what I did.”
I realized I was pleading with him and the way he looked at me hurt. I knew he looked
shaken.

“It was all me. Jealous, not wanting to share you, not wanting to share my time with
you and I fucked up. I promised if you were mine you would never spend Friday night
alone. I already fucked that up.”

“You’re here now.”

“Tomorrow is Saturday you’ll wake up in the morning with my tongue between your legs
and don’t tell me you’re bleeding.”

“I haven’t all day.”

“I told you if you were mine no one would hurt you and live to see the next day. I’ve
hurt you but I won’t again. Ever.”

I rolled over and looked at him. “Please don’t! It hurts so much more with you than
--.”

“If you love me you won’t say his name again.”

“Whose name?”

“You are so beautiful Taelyn. So damn beautiful.”

He was about to kiss me and I yawned.

“I don’t want you to cry again--.”

“You told me you’d cut off your balls if you made me cry. I kind of like your balls.”

“Crying out my name is the exception.”

“I remember.”

“You do?”

“Of course I do, no one had ever talked to me like that before.”

“Porn talk?”

“Xavier talk.”

He smiled. “I also said I’d ruin you for anyone else. Did I fulfill my promise?”

“Over and over again.” I smiled.

“Tell me how lunch was.”

“I didn’t go.”

“What?”

“I didn’t feel good. I threw up a few times.”

“Christ are you okay?”

“I think I was just upset. The doctor--.”

“You went to the doctor?” He looked pissed.

“The clinic--,” I began.

“Why didn’t you call me?”

I looked down.

“Because I hurt you.”

“It’s okay.”

“No it’s not. Not ever again.”

“Good cause --.”

“I’m sorry.”

“Okay.”

“I really do love you Taelyn and I promise I’ll get better at it. I swear I will.”

I nodded.

“What did the doctor tell you?”

“Sleep and lots of water.”

“That’s it?”

“Yep, it’s a cold.”

“I’m gonna let you sleep then. I won’t promise I will stay away in the morning.”

“Good.”

“Yeah?”

“I told you your oral skills make me crazy.” He leaned forward to kiss me. “I don’t
want you to get this. You should probably stay at your--.”

“Not a fucking chance. Roll over and back that ass up and go to sleep. I’ll try to
not fondle you in your sleep.”

I rolled over and scooted back against him. He kissed the back of my head until I
fell asleep.

~

We spent the entire day as promised on Saturday, in bed. We didn’t get out of bed
until noon on Sunday just in time to get showered and dressed and head to Jase and
Carly’s house.

It was a beautiful home outside of town. There was a lot of land and no neighbors.
Josephina was cooking when Xavier brought me into the kitchen.

“You made it?” She hugged me and kissed each of my cheeks. “You feeling better dear?”

“Yes thank you.”

“That means you’re being kind?” She kissed Xavier.

“Actually I went to the doctors. I do have a cold. No fever though so I shouldn’t
be contagious. If that makes you uncomfortable I could--.”

She laughed, “No you’re stuck with us. Xavier go introduce her to the girls.”

We walked out and I held my stomach. “You okay?”

“Nervous. She must think I’m crazy I just can’t stop talking around her. Does that
bother you? Are we going to fight about it? Should--.” He turned me to face him and
kissed me. I laughed. “You’re doing that to shut me up?”

“More because I wanted to, but yeah a little bit. You may not get it but everyone
you’re about to meet has been brainwashed just like you have been.”

“What’s that supposed to mean?”

“It’s all in the secret sauce.” I looked behind me and Zandor walked past us.

“Don’t start your shit already Z,” Xavier laughed.

Zandor stopped. “It’s family day, get your mind out of the gutter. I was talking about
Momma’s marinara.”

“It’s not the sauce it’s the Italian sausage.” Cyrus walked past.

“And so it begins,” Xavier rolled his eyes and I smiled.

“Hey Taelyn,” Jase was next. “Carly would be out if she knew you were here but she’s
a bit tired.” Jase winked. “You know how it is huh?”

I looked at Xavier and he shook his head.

“Suck it up X, we owe you.” Jase patted his shoulders and then yelled. “Hey Momma
Joe you need some help with the balls?”

“Jase where is Bella?” she yelled from the kitchen.

“Setting up her Barbie stuff. She knows how much Xavier loves to play with them.”

“Fuck you Jase.” Xavier snapped.

I was worried he was going to get angry again.

He lifted my chin and kissed me again. “You ready to meet the coolest kid on the planet?”

“I am. Are you alright?”

“Better than alright. Let’s go.”

As soon as he walked into the enormous living room Bella screeched and ran and jumped
Xavier’s arms. “I missed you Xavier Doll.”

“I missed you too Bella Doll.”

They hugged for a while before he introduced her to me. “Bella this is Taelyn, my
girlfriend.” When he said girlfriend he looked freaked out. His expression made me
laugh.

“Is your Mommy dead?” Bella smiled up at me.

I was a bit stunned, “No.”

“Oh well my Mom died, Carly’s mom died, and Tara’s parents both died. Is your Dad--.”

“Little Bell she just walked in the door and now I bet she thinks you’re as crazy
as the rest of us. You where my ace in the hole. I was sure you’d be the one who would
make her wanna stay.” He laughed and tickled her.

“Well now I’m just more intrigued Bella. So you did a good job.”

“Do you play Barbie’s?”

“Not as much as I used to but sometimes when I’m home I sneak them out of the closet
and play.”

“No need to sneak them out here. I have tons of them, come on let’s play.” She grabbed
my hand.

“How about we introduce her to Momma Carly, Tara, and Bekah first.”

“Fine,” she grumbled and pulled my hand towards the couches where they were all watching
the interaction between us.

“I’m Tara,” the petite brunette stood up and shook my hand. “It’s nice to meet you
Taelyn Cyrus said you were pretty cool, which means he likes you.”

“He seems like a nice guy. Nice to meet you.”

“This is Bekah.”

The tall curvy blonde stood up and I was immediately drawn to her necklace. “That
necklace is gorgeous.”

“Thanks, Taelyn right?” Bekah stood and smiled as she shook my hand. “A gift from
Zandor.”

“He has great taste.” She laughed like it was funny and so did I.

The other blonde stood. I stuck out my hand and she hugged me. “Taelyn Patrick. Irish
right?”

“Yes, both my grandparents are immigrants.”

“I’m a quarter Irish, on the O’Donnell side.”

“Like Abe O’Donnell?”

“My cousin. That’s how I met Jase. Well sort of. It’s along very confusing story but
it ends with a beautiful little Bell and this one.” She rubbed her belly.

“When are you due?”

“Two and a half months.”

“Do you know what you’re having?”

“We know it’s one. There’s an envelope in the kitchen drawer that will answer that
question later I think. I’m just worried that Jase will chicken out.”

“Chicken out of what?”

“Learning our child’s sex.” She leaned in and whispered. “He thinks it can feel any
action going on in there.”

I laughed and Jase looked over and rolled his eyes.

“He’s been a pain in the ass since he found out. I hope when you and Xavier do this
he’s not like Jase.”

“Baby I can hear you. You don’t whisper all that quietly.” Jase scowled at her and
she turned around and rolled her eyes.

I looked back at Jase and he was smiling adoringly at her.

“I don’t think he wants kids and I am nowhere near ready.”
