chapter 117

Alana’s point of view.

Exactly two weeks had passed since Ryan and Sean returned. Although they resumed their everyday jobs, they made a point to spend as much time as possible with us once they clocked out. Their life wasn't exactly stable, having left behind little in terms of financial security and with credit scores reflecting the years spent undercover. The only stable thing they had was their job and relationship. In a heartbeat, Alec and Killian decided to secure them a stable home, just a street away from ours, adjacent to Killian and Izabel's dream house.

The house was a generous gift, fully paid for, with plenty of rooms, offices, a spacious front and back yard, and, of course, a pool – a dream of Ryan's. Alec and Killian might have left the decoration plain and minimalist, but Izabel and I took it upon ourselves to infuse some warmth. We discovered that Ryan and Sean both loved tones of blue and forest green, along with cozy vibes, so that's exactly what we went for, adding a touch of gold here and there. We framed a photo of Killian, Alec, and Ryan from their teenage years, leaving the rest of the decoration for Ryan and Sean to decide.

Currently, Izabel and I sat on the porch, eagerly awaiting everyone else. We hadn’t disclosed to Ryan and Sean yet that their new home was ready. A real home was undoubtedly better than a hotel room, no matter how fun the latter might be.

Finally, two cars pulled up, and we saw Killian, Alec, Ryan, and Sean making their way toward us. Ryan and Sean looked visibly perplexed.

“I don’t get it, I thought you said we’re going to your new waterpark,” Sean said, looking around the house. I had sold the idea of the waterpark well; it was one of the best amusement and water parks I had ever been to. In my late teen years, the place closed down, and only now did Dad and Alec decide to buy the rights and revamp the whole thing. It was magical.

“Yeah, we will, in a moment,” Alec stated, glancing at the watch on his wrist – a gift from my father that he hadn’t taken off since.

“We just wanted to show you your surprise,” Killian patted Sean and Ryan’s backs.

“Surprise?” Sean was utterly confused, and they both surveyed the surroundings. All they saw was a vast front yard and a stunning house.

“Alec, Killian, no,” Ryan gasped and turned to the two. She was in disbelief and shook her head.

“Yes,” Alec stated firmly.

“No,” Ryan whispered and shook her head.

“Did they give you a house?” Sean realized what was going on, and his jaw dropped.

“We gave you two a house, you both deserve it,” Killian corrected him and smiled. They’ve finally warmed up to Sean. Not completely, but they were getting there.

“Killian, Alec, we can’t accept this; this is beyond our budget,” Ryan pointed out, now looking at the flowers and plants she had lying around.

“Consider it a wedding gift,” I stated and walked closer to them.

“Every bill related to the property will be taken care of. You just have to pay for electricity, water, internet, and such,” Killian said with a grin on his face.

“Please accept it; we want you two to live near us,” Izabel pleaded sweetly and smiled.

“You deserve to have a home, not just some room,” I added, moving my arm around Alec’s waist as I stood closer to him.

“The room was starting to annoy me,” Ryan admitted in a whisper.

“What do you say?” Sean asked his fiancée.

“I guess we just got our house together,” Ryan stated, and everyone cheered.

“Perfect,” Sean kissed her forehead and hugged her.

“Thank you guys, so, so much,” Ryan said, relieved, sincerity in her eyes.

“Don’t ever mention it again; it’s the least we can do,” Alec warned.

“Now, we’d love to give a house tour, but that will have to wait,” I pouted when I saw the time. “We’ve got to get going; my parents are waiting for us at the waterpark,” I sighed and tucked my phone away.

“Oh, so that wasn’t a ruse?” Sean frowned.

“Nope, my dad and Alec expanded the waterpark; this is the newest edition to the brand and should have more slides and attractions,” I said, already walking to the car.

“Wow, we should have you promote the park,” Alec laughed. He never missed a chance to tease me about it.

“I already do; I talk about it at least once a day!” I winked.

“Come on, let’s go, crazy lady.” Killian shook his head.

***

We arrived at the park thirty minutes later than anticipated, and I was pretty sure my father must have been complaining to my mother about how we were always late. He had always been a very punctual man, one of those people who arrived somewhere 15 minutes early.

Alec parked his car and turned to me, gently caressing my face before pulling me in for a deep kiss. I was shocked but immediately returned the favor, caressing his face. I let out a soft moan when he nibbled on my lower lip, and Alec took the moment to slip his tongue, tasting every inch of my mouth in the most delicious way. I moved my hand down to his biceps, squeezing him. Damn, this makes me miss him so, so much. This past week, we had both been overly consumed with work. No matter how busy it gets, we always made time for each other, but this last week had been difficult with our jobs, especially his, and also with Ryan being back.

“I missed this so fucking much,” I whispered into the kiss, only pulling away for air. “But we’ve got to get going,” I added. The others had already exited their vehicles, and thanks to the blackout window, they had no idea what was going on there.

“One last kiss,” he whispered and leaned in to kiss me one more time. Around my father, the most he has done was kiss my forehead and cheek, all out of respect, so I guess I should enjoy this right now.

“I can’t wait to get home,” I whined and gathered my phone and water bottle.

“Well, we do have rooms here, and chances are that the others will be distracted by the rides, so I’ll steal you away,” Alec winked.

“We have a room here?!” I gasped. None of the other parks had those!

“Yep, this is the biggest location we have, there are rooms and such for a better experience,” Alec explained, already getting out of the car.

My parents awaited us, and the moment we were all inside, Dad and Alec let the guides start their tours. Everyone had their own course since one couple loved the sea adventures and rides more, while Sean and Ryan wanted to head straight for the water slides and pool. Alec and I, however, managed to sneak away to the promised room.

“Wow, the room is actually quite nice,” I said, looking around. It was a sea-themed room, and my favorite addition had to be the turtle stuffed animal.

“I think everyone’s having a great time,” Alec said and wasn’t even lying. Literally, everyone was having a great time, and I’m pretty sure my parents became everyone’s favorite. Mom has met both Ryan and Killian and naturally fell in love with them all. Mom decided to start a new tradition where she’ll have a monthly dinner with all six of us invited.

“I think you should be having a great time too, right?” I threw my shirt over my head and walked over to him very slowly.

“I think so too,” Alec smirked and got up.

He picked me up in a swift movement and carried me to our bed. Alec made quick work of the rest of my clothing and sank down to his knees. He pulled my body closer and threw my legs over his shoulder.

“We have lunch scheduled in fifteen,” I reminded him, breathlessly as I felt my body's hot desire for him. I needed and wanted him badly.

“I can work with those numbers,” Alec winked and started kissing up my inner thigh. I closed my eyes and placed my hands in his soft hair. I wouldn’t even fight him on this; I needed this just as badly as he did.

His tongue licked a long strip from my entrance to clit before staying there. His tongue swirled around the sensitive bud as his fingers started to tease my entrance. I let out a soft moan and started moving my hips around, wanting more.

Alec moaned into me, sending a wave of vibration down my core, and my legs wrapped around his head tighter. Alec started suckling and flicking my clit as his fingers started thrusting into me, going deeper and curling that sweet spot of mine.

It didn’t take long for my moans to grow louder as my orgasm built up faster and faster. Alec grazed his teeth over my clit, and that was all it took for the tension to snap. I moaned out Alec's name loudly as I came uncontrollably, and he continued to pleasure me.

“You taste like heaven,” he whispered, finally pulling away and coming to kiss me.

“I love you,” I mumbled into the kiss, tasting our pleasure on my lips.
