The Love You Give

Thanksgiving

They all spent Tuesday being bums and it was glorious. Before she knew it, Ezra was in the middle of the Fall Festival with her family surrounding her. Jansen was swamped with photo ops and talks with constituents, while his wife and kids floated around the rides and games. "This place is amazing!" Ezra smiled widely as she bounced around with her stuffed teddy bear. "I want to bob for apples!" Jace shook his head no. "Germs." He said flatly turning her away from the apples and towards the hayrides. They rode around laughing and talking about the festival and what tomorrow had in store. Celeste had a blast and wished her husband was present to make memories with them.

Jansen joined them at the end of the festival as they watched the light show. "You have a blast, Ezra?" She smiled at him and nodded. "Best fall festival I've ever been to." He smiled happily as he wrapped an arm around his wife and eldest son. They watched the lights as a family and took in the sights as one. It really was a great day and one that Ezra would cherish forever. When they got home, everyone turned in for the night. Ezra snuggled up to Jace and smiled as Jacob wrapped an arm around her waist from behind. She smiled happily as she fell into a deep sleep thinking about her men and the happy life she now lived. 

Ezra stared at the black ruched dress she wore and smiled. It was perfect for tonight's festivities. They were headed to the Dixon household to celebrate Thanksgiving. She was beyond excited to see Lucy Jane. Apparently, Marjorie Dixon adored the southern belle. Ezra was pretty sure it had more to do with the fact that Lucy Jane's father was an oil tycoon. She met everyone downstairs and smiled. They all looked great and Ezra realized black was the theme for the Scott family. Celeste made Marisol take their pictures as she didn't know when next they would match as a family. Little did she know Ezra had something planned for them in a few weeks with matching outfits and all.

Dinner at the Dixon household was similar to that of the Scott residence. The conversations flowed easily and laughs could be heard all around. Marjorie had invited another family to join them, which didn't bother Ezra. She felt the more the merrier. Grant and Candace West were a prominent family in Hartford. The guys and their parents seemed to know them, which comforted Ezra as she noticed the West's son Thomas licking his lips and eyeing her flirtatiously. She knew Jacob had noticed as he just scoffed and wrapped an arm around her waist while kissing her temple.

"Are you looking forward to Christmas, Ezra?" Maxwell asked with a smile. "I am very excited about Christmas. I have a few things planned for the family." Celeste and Jansen couldn't help but smile at that. They were a family and for the first time in a long time the Scott's were looking forward to spending the holiday together as a unit. They all talked and had a good time as food and drinks flowed. Ezra excused herself to head to the restroom. Upon exiting she was stopped by a very eager looking Thomas. "Can I help you?" Ezra asked crossing her arms and scowling at him. He could have been cute with his red hair and five o'clock shadow. He was muscular but not obnoxiously so. Yes, he could have been cute if not for that entitled smirk on his face. "You're really pretty for a Black girl, you know that." Ezra rolled her eyes. "That's not a compliment. Now can you please move." Thomas made no motion to do as he was told, but instead move forward and crowded her. Ezra couldn't help but get flashbacks from her incident with Jimmy, Hugo and Tristan and moved back until her back hit the wall.

"You really are the most beautiful thing." Thomas smiled, but Ezra just felt her skin crawl. She moved to say something, but was interrupted. "Is there a reason you're so fucking close to my girlfriend?" Jace asked angrily. Thomas sighed before taking a step back. "We were just having a conversation." Jace chuckled bitterly as he got in between them. "Yeah, about how beautiful she is, I heard. What I don't understand is why you had to corner her in front of a bathroom away from everyone to do so." Tristian held his hands up in mock surrender. "You're not slick West. You try and flirt with my girl or make her uncomfortable again and I'll end you." Jace held onto Ezra's hand and pulled her with him.

They got back to the living room where everyone else was gathered and Celeste could tell that Ezra was a bit off. She pulled her to a corner and cupped her cheek. "What's wrong, baby angel?" Ezra filled her in on her encounter with Thomas and how it had put her in a dark headspace. That was all Celeste needed. She told the men to wrap it up and that they were leaving. Jansen was confused by his wife's actions, but the dejected look in Ezra's eyes told him all he needed to know. They said quick goodbyes before loading up in the car. Jackson held Ezra not knowing what happened, but that it had affected her. Celeste filled Jansen in as they walked to their rooms causing him to shake his head. He never did like Thomas West. He was too much like his father Grant and that was not a good thing.

Jace filled his brothers in on what had occurred as Ezra showered. "Can we just keep her in a bubble?" Jacob asked with a sigh as he took a seat on Ezra's couch. "I know right," Jace said laying shirtless on her bed. "It's hard being a woman." Jackson said sketching something at her desk. Jace and Jacob hummed their agreement as Ezra walked out of the bathroom naked and smelling of shea butter.

They looked at her with an intense hunger that made her shiver. "No," she said flatly causing Jacob to pout. "But sweetheart...we need you." Ezra couldn't help but laugh at his pouting mouth. "You do, huh?" He took in the smirk on her face as her hands rested on her hips and smiled. He walked over to her before capturing her lips. Jackson was behind her in an instant as he kissed her soft spots that made her moan into Jacob's mouth.

"We need you, baby girl." Jackson said huskily that did something to her. Jacob's fingers found their way inside of her causing her to gasp as Jackson turned her head and captured her lips. Jacob strummed her like a guitar and Ezra reveled in it. Her body began convulsing as he rubbed circles on her clit. In seconds she was coming on his fingers.

She didn't even have time to catch her breath before she felt them lift her leg before both sinking into her. Ezra cried out as she threw her head back against Jackson's shoulder. "Fuck baby girl you're so tight." Jackson groaned trying not to explode right then and there. "You're so wet for me aren't you, sweetheart." Jacob smirked as he watched his member go in and out of her tight core. They both felt her clench around them minutes later before she screamed out her release forcing their own. They both let out loud groans as they filled her completely.

Jace watched the whole thing unfold from the bed and was transfixed. He had shared someone with his brother before, but it didn't feel like this. Then it wasn't emotional. It was simply a carnal desire that required them being pleased by the girl and nothing more. However, with Ezra it was spiritual, emotional and physical. Each brother wanted to ensure she was pleased and satisfied.

They wanted to know that she felt loved and whole in their relationship. Ezra leaned into Jacob after they pulled out and sighed. Jackson went in to run her a bath, while Jacob rubbed circles into her lower back and whispered sweet nothings in her ear. When it was time for her bath Jace took care of it, while his brothers went to their room. "You okay, Princess?" Ezra nodded sleepily before yawning. "Let's get you cleaned up and in bed, okay."

They were in each other's arms in no time and Ezra slept deeply while Jace held her lost in his thoughts. He had never felt so strongly about a girl before. He loved her with his whole heart and it sometimes frightened him. He didn't want to lose her and told her this very real fear.

She smiled at him and chuckled before saying 'you're never going to lose me Jace Scott, because you my love are my soulmate.' The memory brought a smile to his lips. He pulled her in closer as if that were possible and fell asleep happy and whole.
