Talia’s eyes flutter open and she rubs the tiredness from her eyes, sitting up and stretching as she does so. The blonde looks down at her body and she realizes she is in Alex’s clothes.
A smirk makes its way onto her face as she lays back down, pressing the collar of the shirt to her nose so she can smell his expensive cologne.
Her mind travels to last night and a blush coats her cheeks. She’d never had sex like that, and she loved it, loved Alex. Her thoughts come to a halt as she realizes what she had just thought.
Her head turns so she can look at the handsome brunette. Did she love him? She didn’t know, she’d never loved anyone romantically. Though she’d never felt what she felt with Alex with anyone else. He made her feel all of her emotions, happy, sad, jealous, peaceful, he made her feel loved, wanted.
It had been three days. Three days of her knowing him and she already couldn’t imagine what waking up without him would feel like. She remembered he was leaving for Milan today and an ugly knot twisted in her stomach.
Her thoughts stop as his brown eyes slowly open, a smile grazes Alex’s features when he sees Talia lying beside him, her head on his shoulder and her hand clutching the fabric of his T-shirt close to her nose.
“Good morning, sweetheart,” Alex hums his voice raspy from just waking up. Talia couldn’t lie, his voice was sexy as hell like this.
“Good morning, Hollywood,” she responds, Alex grins and sits up against the headboard. He pulls her on top of him, his face falling when he watches her wince.
“What’s wrong, Lia?” He questions, his thumbs rubbing circles on her thighs.
“Nothing, just a little sore,” Talia tells him with a warm smile.
Alec frowns “I knew I shouldn’t have been so rough, I’m sorry for hurting you,” the sincerity in his voice made Talia’s heart flutter as she lays her arms around his neck.
She kisses him softly and lays her forehead against his “I’m fine,” she hums, curling his strands of hair in her fingers “I’m more mad about you leaving,” she tells him honestly.
Alex’s lips curl into a grin as he remembers he had forgotten to tell the blonde that he was staying. “Well I have some news, that you might like,” he hums.
She pulled away from him watching his face carefully, her eyes widening when she realized what he was hinting at “You’re staying?” She grins.
He nods and Talia squeals in excitement smashing her lips against his, Alex chuckles against her lips as his eyes flutter close, happy that she is happy. Curly’s obnoxious bark didn’t even stop the two. What stopped them was when the bedroom door opened and Owen walked in, shirtless and marks different shades of pink scattered across his neck and chest. “Damn dog,” he mutters under his breath.
Owen picks his head up and freezes when he sees Talia and Alex staring at him, his cheeks turn a light shade of pink. Talia smirks “Wanna tell us what you did?” She teases.
“Maybe who you did?” Alex teases with her causing Owen to shake his head.
“Nope,” Owen clears his throat before making his way to the bathroom “I’m using your concealer, Talia,” he announces quietly before shutting and locking the door.
Talia snickers as she looks back at Alex “10 bucks says it was Jasmine,” she grins.
“15 says it was Amber,” Alex remarks, Talia nods.
“Deal,” she says as Alex’s eyes travel down her neck.
“Speaking of hickeys, you have quite a few, sweetheart,” Talia’s breath catches in her throat as Alex’s thumb grazes a spot on her neck. “You look absolutely stunning with my marks on your neck, I have to say,” he hums his hand wrapping around her neck and squeezing lightly.
Talia gasps her hands wrapping around his wrist as his words and actions send a throb to her core. “You should make more,” she suggests.
Alex’s eyes flicker up to her deep blue ones as he flips her over so he now hovered above her “You know, I had the best dream about you last night,” he hums kissing down her neck.
Her fingers tangle in his hair “Tell me about it” She breaths out.
Alex smirks against her skin “That pretty little mouth of yours looked so sexy wrapped around my dick and god the way you looked at me with your gorgeous blue eyes— You were so divine on your knees for me, sweetheart,” Alex praises her his hands moving to caress the skin below her breasts causing Talia to gasp.
He pulled away completely and kissed the tip of her nose giving her thigh a playful slap “Come on, we should get up,” he winked before getting off the bed.
Talia shoots up watching him dig through his clothes with a scowl on her face “Teasing dickhead,” she grumbles as she flops back down and yanks the blanket over her head.
——
With a few words—and the promise that he wouldn’t tease her again, Alex got Talia up.
The two walked into the kitchen, fresh clothes on their bodies and Talia’s hickeys covered with the help of concealer, their hands linked together. Becky sat at the dining table feeding the bird with Sally’s breast milk who was sitting in another chair pumping her milk for the bird. Bean sat beside her watching her pump her breast milk into the machine for the bird with distaste.
Talia stood on her toes and grabbed her Frosted Flakes from the top of the fridge while Marcus lay on the couch watching Sally “Is that getting me horny?” He questions himself “Yes,” he answers himself a few seconds later.
Talia grimaces “Say that shit in your head,” she cringes. Alex chuckles at her, releasing her hand to grab two bowls and spoons while Talia grabs the milk. Marcus glances at the two, wondering if they were together, he doesn’t know if he likes the idea of his daughter with a boy in any way shape, or form.
“You promise you’ll still feed her after we leave?” Becky questions Sally as she continues feeding the bird.
“I promise,” Sally answers, looking at the girl with a sad smile, she, like Talia, had grown attached to the small child. What could she say? Becky Feder was a heart catcher with her kind heart and giant brown eyes that represented her mothers.
“Mommy, that’s my milk,” Bean argues, not able to contain his dislike for the bird drinking his milk any longer.
“Bean, we have to learn to share, even with birds,” Sally tells her son, turning to look at him.
“But he’s gonna drink you dry,” Bean argues as Talia shovels a spoonful of Frosted Flakes into her mouth.
“I’ll drink you dry later,” Alex hums against the blonde’s ear his hand slipping down to cup her jean-cladded cunt. The blonde chokes on her food and elbows his chest. A small chuckle leaves the oldest Feder son and he kisses her cheek before grabbing his bowl of cereal and walking to the dining table.
Talia watches him, shaking her head, he had broken his promise of not teasing her.
——
All the children, Gloria, and Talia sat down by the lake shore, skipping rocks. Rita was packing the Feder family’s car, Alex helped her while his mother texted her boss.
“I got it three times!” Keithie exclaims causing Talia to clap for the young boy as she stands beside the chair Gloria sat in, watching the children be children.
“Donna, you wanna try?” Keithie turns to the young lady.
“Sure, but I stink at sports,” she explains, it was obvious the two had a small crush on each other.
“That’s all right. Here,” Keithie picks a rock up and gives it to the girl as Roxanne and Alex walk down towards the lake, Roxanne stands beside Talia while Alex stands behind her wrapping his arms around her waist and letting his head rest on the top of her head “Hold it like this,” Keithie instructs.
“Like this?” Donna questions arranging the rock in her hand as Talia rests her hands over the Feder’s, a smile breaking onto her face.
“Get down low and throw it, and let the rock do the magic,” Keithie explains demonstrating what she needed to do.
Donna copies his action and throws the rock getting two skips before it sinks “Nice!” Keithie exclaims as Roxanne walks towards the water.
“Oh, I skipped it!” Donna exclaims pointing at where the ripples from the rock were.
Talia claps her hands “Great job, Donna,” the blonde smiles as everyone starts clapping and praising her.
“Good job, Donna,” Charlotte grins as she claps looking at her friend.
“Bravo,” Roxanne praises as she smiles at the small girl.
“Do you know how to skip rocks, Mrs.Feder?” Donna questions the older woman.
“Are you kidding me? I am the best at this,” the mother claims cockily, her hands settling on her hips.
“No, she isn’t,” Alex whispers in Talia’s ear causing her to shake her head and chuckle.
“Give me that,”—Keithie hands the rock in his hand to his mother—” Now, watch, now,” Roxanne chucks the rock completely missing the water, instead hitting her son, Greg, right in the gut.
Everyone gasps and Talia winces as she puts her hands on her stomach like she could feel the rock. “Gut punched by a rock, that’s gotta hurt,” she cringes.
Alex nods in agreement but can’t stop the small snicker that leaves him. Talia hits his arm “Be nice,” she mutters to him.
Greg groans and Charlotte covers a snicker as Roxanne lays her hands over her chest “Oh my god, baby, are you okay?” She questions her second oldest.
Greg stands up to his full height holding his stomach “Yeah, Mom. I’m just glad to see you having some fun,” the boy says with a pained smile.
Roxanne makes her way back to the lakehouse and the kids continue skipping rocks.
Alex got an idea that made him smirk, he licked his lips and leaned down to Talia’s ear “Hold your breath,” he told her.
“What?” Talia questions, confused.
“Hold your breath,” Alex repeats before ripping Talia off the ground and tossing her over his shoulder. The blonde screams as he starts running with her, her fists beating on his back.
“Put me down!” She yells as he runs to the dock.
“Okay,” Alex answers before tossing her off the dock into the water.
Talia’s scream is swallowed by the water as she quickly pops back up only to be pushed back down by Alex’s body when he jumps in after her.
Strong arms wrap around her middle as she resurfaces with Alex who had the biggest smile on his face. The children and Gloria laughed at the two and Talia hits Alex’s chest.
“Asshole! You threw me in— wait you’re in lake water,” Talia tells him.
Alex smiles down at her “I told you, I’d do a lot for you,” he hums.
Talia looked up at the brunette, not even angry that he had thrown her in the water. That was until she realized her concealer wasn’t waterproof and her peace was turned into fear.
