The Alpha's Weakness

Chapter 18

—-Zayla

Jr. and Austin were asleep in their playpen.  They were 7 months old and all about their daddy when he was home.  He was their best friend and the guy who did the best airplane when they had their baby food.  I was in the kitchen making dinner when I heard the front door open and close.

"Hello beautiful."  Owen said sliding his arms around me.  He kissed my neck and up to my ear.

"Hey."  I said.  His lips met mine in a soft kiss.  I slid my arms around his neck parting my lips with his.  The kiss grew hotter and more urgent.  He pulled away hearing a knock on the front door.  He gave me one more kiss nipping at my lip.

"Be right back."  He said and he went to get the door.    I finished up dinner and looked up when Owen came back in.  His parents behind him.

"Hi honey.  How are the boys and how are you?"  His Mom asked.

"Fine and fine."

"You two should go out.  Have some time for yourselves.  We will clean up and put things away."

"After dinner.  It's ready."  I said.

Owen and I were sitting in his truck watching the sunset.  "Owen, I understand why Mom and Dad are still at the house and why they still come by when they aren't.  But that's the 5th time in a week that we had to stop what we were doing.  We can't even have sex.  We haven't had sex since before the boys were born and I want it.  I need it."  I said looking at him.

"Mom and Dad are attached to the boys.  Their first grandchildren.  They also worry about Justin and his threats."

"Owen I know."

"I agree with you though.  I hate being stopped.  No one is here to stop us now."  He said before his lips met mine in an urgent kiss.

"Do you have a condom?"  I asked climbing into his lap.

"Shit.  I forgot to grab one."  He said.

"Owen every time we do it without a condom we either get a pregnancy scare or we get pregnant."

"I can't help it if my swimmers know what they're doing."  He said making me laugh.  He placed kisses to my throat. 

"I want to be married before we have another baby."  I said accepting his kiss.

He dug through his pockets and then through the glove box.  "Yes!"  He said making me laugh again.  I gave him a kiss and climbed into the back seat.  He climbed into the backseat with me resting between my legs.  "Have we ever done it with a condom?"  He asked.

"No."  I said.

"This is going to be tough."  He said with a smile.  He pulled down my sweatpants and unbuttoned my flannel shirt.  I unbuttoned his and tugged down his jeans.  He covered me with his body.  My nails scratched down his back.

I moved over from being on him after our second round. He pulled up his jeans fixing himself. "Damn, every time is like the first." He said. "Freaking amazing." He said.

"It's even better married I'm sure." I said teasingly.

"Well, yeah, unprotected sex with you is the best." He said.

We returned home and Owen watched me with Austin and Jr. "Are you two going to the 4th of July festival?"  His Mom asked.

"We are discussing it."  I said.  "We need a sitter."

"Honey, we can babysit."  His Mom said.

"I know, but the grandparents aren't supposed to babysit all the time."  I said.

"She has a point ma."  Owen said.

"We don't mind."  His Dad said agreeing with his mom.

"We can babysit next Friday."

"Sounds like no room for arguments."  Owen said.

Friday came around, Owen and I were walking hand in hand on the fairgrounds.  He was wearing a pair of khaki shorts and a white tank top.  I was wearing a camisole and a pair of short jean shorts.  "Hungry or do you want to go on a ride?"  He asked.

"Ferris Wheel?"  I asked.

"I'll go grab some tickets."  He said.  His hand slipped from mine.  Sarah and Tyler walked over.  "Hey, where's Owen?"

"He went to get some tickets."  I said.

"I need some too.  I'll go get some."  Tyler slid his arm from around Sarah and went to wait in line with Owen.

"How are things?"  Sarah asked.

"Great.  The boys are good."

"That's good."  She said.  "Has he asked you yet?"

"No.  I'm done asking.  I think it bothers him when I ask.  Maybe he doesn't want that."

"Oh he does."

I focused in on the conversation between Zayla and Sarah.  Little did Zayla know, I was going to ask her tonight during the fireworks.  "Sarah's pregnant."  Tyler said.  I looked at him.

"Congratulations man."

"Thanks.  You going to ask her tonight?"

"That's the plan."  I looked over to Zayla and smiled at her.  She said something to Sarah and looked back at me.

I got up to the ticket booth and purchased the wristbands.  I looked toward Zayla and saw Justin.  "The fucker."  I said.  Tyler looked and saw.  I made my way through and saw Justin grab her arm.  Tyler following my lead.  I pushed my way through and saw her shove him.  He grabbed her roughly and she stomped on his foot and fell in the dirt.

I helped her up and Tyler shoved Justin toward the police.  Zayla crosses her arms holding onto her sore arm.  Justin went after her, I stopped him by standing in front of Zayla, he slammed into me, and I didn't budge or feel it.  He fell back onto the ground.  "Don't ever come near her again."  I growled.

I followed Zayla to the truck and caught her hand.  "Hey, stay with me."  I said pressing her against the side of my truck.  I brushed my nose against hers.  "Please baby.  I got us wristbands so we can go on every single ride today.  We can go home and have dinner, see the boys for a little while then come back for the fireworks.  Please?"  I said.

I closed my eyes taking a deep breath.  "Please, please, please."  He said kissing my neck and up to my cheek.  He slid his hands over my sides.  "Please."  I opened my eyes and he was closer than he was before.  He kissed me softly, parting from me briefly.  I slid my hands into his hair, returning the kiss slipping my tongue into his mouth.

"Guys, we're in public."  Tyler said sometime later.  I pulled away brushing my fingertips over my lips as if to wipe away evidence.  Owen stepped away and took my hand.

That night, I was sitting on the tailgate of the pickup with Sarah, the guys were getting us some ice cream.  I was wearing Owen's light flannel shirt over my camisole.

"Zayla, Owen's waiting for you."  Tyler said.

"Where?  He has my ice cream."  I said.

"He's over in the gazebo."  Tyler said pointing.  I jumped down and walked over.

"Hey, I want my ice cream and man candy."  I said.

"Man candy huh?"  Owen said leaning against one of the pillars.

"How about my sexy man candy?"  I said.

"I'd love to give it to you later right now, I have something important to ask you."  He said.  I looked at him and he grabbed something out of his pocket before getting down on one knee.  I felt tears in my eyes and covered my mouth with my hands as he revealed the ring.  "Zayla Parker, I love you and I always have loved you.  I always will love you.  Will you do me the tremendous honor of becoming my wife?"

"Yes."  I said crying.  He slipped the ring on my finger and stood up.  He hugged me.  I wrapped my arms around his neck pressing my face into his neck.
