Brendon (Alluring Indulgence #8)(102)
Author: Nicole Edwards

Laying her down onto the bed, Brendon hovered over her, his chest flush against her back, his mouth still brushing her ear. Pumping his hips, he continued to make love to her while he spoke. “You’re everything that’s good for me, Cheyenne. This need … I’ve never known anything like this. I’ve never hungered for contact the way I crave yours. I’ve never felt this overwhelming emotion before. Not only do I want you, baby, I need you.”

Cheyenne forced him out of her body and rolled over so that they were face-to-face. Brendon didn’t waste a second, pressing back inside her, needing to be joined with her.

Her smooth fingers caressed his cheeks as he leaned into her, grinding his hips against hers as he pressed as deep as he possibly could. “I love you, Cheyenne. That’s all there is to it.”

Tears glistened in her eyes and Brendon felt his own emotions boiling over, but he held them back, desperately wanting to hear her tell him that everything he wanted, she wanted, too.

“I love you, too, Bren.” Her soft voice was soothing, like a salve to his soul. “I want to spend the rest of my life going to sleep with you by my side and waking up with you every morning. But I don’t want to hold you back, I don’t want you to be the only one compromising.”

“It’s no compromise, Cheyenne. This is what I want. I can’t imagine my life without you in it. Let me love you, baby. Let me love you forever.”

With his body practically flush with hers, his forearms resting on the bed beside her head, Brendon proceeded to show her. He drove deep, withdrawing slowly, repeating the motion over and over until their rapid breaths were the only sounds in the room. Cheyenne moaned, her hands sliding over his back, her eyes locked with his.

“I want all of that,” she told him. “And I promise, you won’t be making all the sacrifices. I’ll do my part. I’ll do anything, as long as I have you.”

His restraint shattered, emotion flooding him. Brendon buried his face in her neck and continued to fuck her slowly, sweetly, until her nails dug into his back. When her body gripped him tightly, her orgasm rocking her as his name was whispered over and over on her lips, only then did Brendon come, filling her with everything that he was. All his love, all his need.

She was his everything. Today, tomorrow. Forever.

And nothing would ever change that.

EPILOGUE

Three months later

“Lorrie, this is my grandmother, Aileen. Aileen, this is Lorrie Walker,” Cheyenne said when they made their way inside the Walker residence on Sunday evening for dinner.

With Brendon’s help, Cheyenne had managed to get Grams settled into her house nearly a week earlier. Although there were moments when she was still confused, for the most part, things had been going well. They were settling into a routine, getting to know one another’s habits. Cheyenne had interviewed several in-home nurses and narrowed the candidates down to two. She had introduced them both to Grams and had another appointment scheduled on Tuesday for each of them to come back for one more visit. At that time, Cheyenne would make a decision.

Brendon had also moved in, along with Scrap, which was another of the many reasons things were going so well. Grams had taken to Brendon nearly as much as Cheyenne had, and having him around made all the difference.

But most importantly, Cheyenne had come up with a plan for their future, at least regarding her career. Going out on tour was part of her job, but in the past few months, Cheyenne had realized what was most important: family. Brendon had taught her that. And now that she had her grandmother home with her, as well as Brendon, and she couldn’t forget the rest of the Walkers, she had decided to modify her tour schedules. Plans were being made so that Cheyenne would only be gone for short periods of time. No lengthy tours for now. Not until she and Brendon were ready to tackle that. Together.

“It’s a pleasure to meet you, Aileen. And I’m honored you could join us tonight,” Lorrie said, her hand gently resting atop Grams’s.

Cheyenne hugged Lorrie briefly and then pushed Grams’s wheelchair into the living room, where the others were. The attendance tonight far exceeded anything Cheyenne had ever seen. Of course all the brothers were there: Travis, Sawyer, Kaleb, Brendon, Braydon, Ethan, and Zane. Their significant others: Kylie, Gage, Kennedy, Zoey, Jessie, Beau, and V. As well as Lorrie’s brother, Owen; his wife, Deborah; and all five of their kids: Chase, Donovan, Stone, Chelsea, and Reilly.

Jared arrived with his dad, Gerald, who was Curtis’s brother; his mother, Sue Ellen; and Derrick. He joined them in the living room, introducing Cheyenne and Grams to his parents.

The most surprising arrivals, at least in Cheyenne’s opinion, were Jared’s brothers—thirty-two-year-old twins Kaden and Keegan.
