Kellan POV
I joined Taylor and Christian for a run this morning. All this fresh air is great for my lungs; it makes me miss being in Seattle. I'm a New York boy through and through, but nothing can compare to this.
"I hope my children behaved themselves last night," Christian says as we make our way down the driveway.
"They did. I was actually surprised."
"You and me both," Taylor adds.
"So Kellan, how is life in the Secret Service going these days?"
"That's what I wanted to talk to you about. It's not what I was expecting, and wanted to get your thoughts on the FBI."
"I think you would make an excellent agent. Let me know if I can do anything," Christian says.
"Well, the thing is that I've already been accepted. I'm scheduled to start the five-month training in January. It's in Virginia."
"Thanks incredible news Kellan. Congratulations son. Let me guess, you haven't told Charlie yet?" Christian asks.
"I just found out the day we flew here. I don't know how to tell her."
"You know she will understand."
Oh you don't know how much I want to believe that.
I'm still in shock over receiving my acceptance letter. I applied on a whim, never thinking I would be accepted. I guess it helped that I work for the Secret Service.
When we reach the house, Christian asks me to walk with him around the house to cool off.
"What are you afraid of?"
"Being a part from Charlie."
"She will understand."
I wish that was true. I don't how she will be react to my news.
"How can you be so sure?"
"I know my daughter as well as anyone Kellan, as do you. Now, with that said, there will tears and maybe a little screaming, but in the end she wants you to be happy. We all can tell that you're not happy."
"Is it that obvious?"
"I suggest you tell Charlie before she finds out on her own."
He's right, but I don't want to ruin the holiday.
"I think I will do that today. Thanks for the advice."
"Anytime, I am really proud of you."
I go back to the apartment and find Charlie still sleeping. I don't want to wake her so I go into the bathroom and turn on the shower.
I'm just beginning to wash my hair when I feel soft hands wrapped around my waist.
"I thought you needed a friend," Charlie says.
This is my favorite kind of shower.
Charlie grabs the sponge and lathers it up with my favorite shower gel and starts to wash my back. Oh this feels so good. The next thing I know Charlie reaches around and grabs me and starts to slowly stroke me.
"Fuck," I say placing my hands against the shower wall.
Her hands starts to pump me faster and faster until I can't take it anymore and I come violently. I turn around and push Charlie against the wall.
"My turn," I say kissing her face and taking the sponge out of her hand. I begin to wash her body starting with her beautiful breasts.
Charlie leans her head back as I move the sponge, and take one of her breasts in my mouth. I then slip my hand down the length of her body, and she spreads her legs for me while I slip a finger inside her folds.
"Kellan," she says into my ear.
"What do you want baby?"
"I want you to fuck me."
I turn her around and take her from behind.
She feels so good.
"I want you to fuck me hard and fast," she says as I begin my sensual assault on my beautiful fiancée.
I slam into her and have to hold Charlie up or she will collapse onto the ground.
"Harder Kellan," she screams.
I'm pounding into her until I lose control and come for a second time in less than ten minutes. Now I'm spent.
Charlie turns around and kisses me under the water.
"I love you," she says finishing washing my body.
After we're both clean, I turn off the water and I help her out of the shower before smacking her tight little ass.
"What would you like to do today?"
"Honestly, I would just like to stay around the house and just hang out, if you don't mind."
"Sounds perfect."
And it really does, I just need to figure out how to tell her my news.
We've had a lazy day before Thanksgiving. Ana and Gail head to the grocery store to pick up a few things, so Charlie and I head to the family room just to relax and watch some television.
"Wanna make-out?" She asks jumping on my lap.
"You know your dad is only a few feet away in his office."
"That's what makes it more exciting," she says as she laughs and crushes her lips to mine. I could just stay here forever when I slip my hand under Charlie's t-shirt.
Then I hear a cough and I look up see Gail, Ana and Taylor walk past us on their way to the kitchen.
"Awww..young love. I remember those days," Gail says as Charlie gets off my lap and adjusts her shirt.
"Come with me," I say pulling Charlie off the couch.
"Where are we going?"
"Just for a walk."
It's now or never.
Charlie POV
We walk along the bluff, and it's really a beautiful day.
"Kellan, I know there is something on your mind. Please talk to me."
"So, before we got back together I was contemplating my future. As you know I'm not happy with my job, and back then it was even worse. I was contacted by a major organization to come work for them, so I decided to apply. I found out that I was accepted into their training program."
I hope he isn't going back into the military. I can't take it if he is deployed.
"What organization would that be?"
"The F.B.I."
"That's incredible."
Now I'm waiting for the bad news.
"How long is the training program, and do I want to know where you have to go?"
"It's only five months, and it's in Virginia. Which is only a short five-hour car ride."
I don't know how to react. I want to be supportive, but inside I'm dying just a little. It's only five months.
"When do you start?"
"January."
"I want you to go."
"Are you sure?"
"Is this something you want to do?"
"More than anything."
"Then I want you to go."
"I love you. I promise the five months will go by quickly, and then we will be back together."
"I need to know how long you've known about this."
"I found out that the day we left to come here."
"Why didn't you tell me when you found out?"
"Because you surprised me with the news that you maybe be pregnant."
After another spectacular meal with the entire family, I leave Kellan with the men to smoke cigars on the back porch while I get ready for Kellan's birthday that officially begins in a few minutes.
Charlie: Are you ready to come to bed?
Kellan: I'll be there in a few minutes.
Charlie: I'll be waiting for you.
Kellan: What are you wearing?
Charlie: You will just have to wait and see. But come alone.
I go into the bathroom to get ready for bed when I hear the door lock.
"Charlie?"
I walk out of the bathroom, and wait for Kellan to see me wearing nothing but a big red bow around my breasts and a big smile.
"Happy Birthday," I say sauntering over to him.
"It's not my birthday yet."
I reach over and look at his watch.
"It's exactly, 12:01. It is your birthday. Now, are you going to unwrap your present?"
"This is the best birthday present ever."
He slowly starts to pull apart the bow and the ribbon falls to the floor.
"Now that you have unwrapped me, what are you going to do with me?" I say looking very innocent.
Kellan grabs my ass and lifts me up while I wrap my legs around him.
He walks me over and pins me against the wall.
"It appears that you still have your pants on," I sign into his mouth.
I don't know how he does it, but as he holds me against the wall, he is able to remove his pants and boxer briefs.
The wetness pooling between my thighs is nearly overwhelming, and I'm in painful need of a release.
Kellan POV
There are no words to describe the past few hours. What a great start to my 26th birthday. By far, this is has been my best birthday ever, and the sun hasn't even come up yet.
I'm just looking down at Charlie as she has her body wrapped around me.
My God she is beautiful. I don't think I will ever get my fill of this woman.
Growing up in foster homes, I dreamed of one day having my own family. Now here I am, with a gorgeous fiancée, and her family loves and accepts me. It's amazing.
"Why are you awake," Charlie groans.
"Because I was looking at my sexy ass fiancée."
"Aren't you exhausted?"
"No, I could go again if you're up to it."
Charlie can barely pick her head up off my chest to look at me.
"You wore me out Mr. Harper."
"Hey now, you promised I got you naked in bed for 24 hours and so far it's only been eight."
"Shit, I'm late," she says jumping out of bed and into the shower.
"Hey, where are you going?"
"I always help with Thanksgiving prep. I was supposed to be in the kitchen by now getting breakfast ready."
She's in and out of the shower and dressed in less than 10 minutes. She jumps back on the bed and swiftly kisses my lips before she is out the door.
By 8:30, I'm showered and changed and make my way into the kitchen.
"Good morning birthday boy," Gail says kissing my cheek as I sit down at the breakfast bar and watch the three most incredible women prepare a feast for the masses.
"Breakfast?" Ana asks as she comes over and hugs and kisses me.
"I'm starving," I say, and Charlie turns around and winks at me.
"Well, it's self serve, so grab a plate and dish it up."
All my favorites are served, and I know that after today I'm going to have to work out really hard to shed the Thanksgiving weight. I can think of one way to burn off all the extra calories I ingest tonight.
I sit back and watch the cooking.
After I clear my plate I ask if I could do anything to help.
"Oh no, you're the birthday boy, plus we don't let any men in the kitchen. I think Taylor and Christian are in the family room watching some game on television."
I know where I not wanted, so I go in search of the testosterone.
A few hours later, I really feel like part of this family. Christian and I are talking about the game and how I played football in high school. I tell him how I even got a scholarship to play in college, but went into the Army before heading to college. I had a feeling like he already knew but he acted very interested. Ben and Ted arrive just after lunch and we watch another great football game before we are intstructed to go and change for dinner.
This will be my first-ever traditional Thanksgiving dinner and I don't know what I'm supposed to do. When I go into the apartment I find Charlie finishing her hair and make-up. She looks stunning in a black cocktail dress.
"Can you help me?" She asks handing me a string of pearls.
"You look unbelievable," I say as I careess the back of her neck and clasp the necklace.
"I'm sorry we haven't spent much time together."
"Don't apologize. I've had a great time with your dad and brothers. They really have made me feel like family."
"Well, that's because you are. Now get dressed and I will see you in a few minutes."
When I emerge I hear several voices floating down the hallway.
Charlie finds me and hands me a glass of champagne.
"You're drinking?" I ask
"Yes, sparkling cider."
"Are you ready for the craziness that is my family?"
I can't believe how many people are in this house.
When we are called to dinner, I take my place next to Charlie, and who is sitting across from me, of course is Sophie Taylor, awkward.
"First, before we start I want to toast," Christian announces from the head of the table. "We have a lot to be thankful for this year. I don't even know where to start. First, I want to give thanks for my beautiful wife Anastasia, she has given me 19 amazing years and I can't wait for many more. What would I do without you? Then there are our parents, and of course our amazing children. I couldn't be more proud of each and every one of you."
I learn that in order to eat, everyone must say one thing they are thankful for this year.
"I'm thankful to be alive to be with you all of you this Thanksgiving, but most of all, I'm thankful for the man seated to my right," Charlie says looking right at me. "I love you more than my own life. I'm thankful for you loving me just as much as I love you."
Shit it's my turn. I have no idea what to say.
"This year, I am truly thankful for being with all of you tonight. I had this amazing opportunity in Seattle nearly a year ago that I could turn down, and that led me falling in love with the most amazing and beautiful woman in the world. After we were reunited she agreed to be my wife, but even better than that is the fact that this family has accepted me as one of their own. I'm truly grateful for that."
