Deceiving My Bully Stepbrother

(Viva)

I stared down at the carbon copy of my son..his big blue eyes wide with excitement as I bent down, blowing raspberries on his tummy.

Everett burst into giggles, making me laugh in response as he started to bounce up and down in my lap. I swear he is just as big as Caspian was too..

"You love your grandma the most, don't you? You just want to come and live here with me." I cooed, causing Everett to squeal before reaching up and gripping my face. That's when he kissed my cheek happily, making my heart melt completely. I never knew I could love something so much..don't get me wrong..I obviously love all my kids to death..but my grandbabies...that goes beyond anything I ever knew possible.

And I love them all..even the ones that aren't blood-related..they are still mine through and through..just like how I see Ben as my son now.

But Everett..he is just the cutest and happiest baby ever I swear. He also loves cuddles too.

"So, what's new?" I asked my son before handing Everett a couple of Cheerios.

"Oh, you are going to love this one...Heather reached out again." Caspian said with a big smile before opening my fridge and rifling through it.

"Oh god..I swear if a bus came out and ran her a*s.."

"Mom..." My son chastised me, glancing towards Everett who seemed to be watching me intently.

"Azz..azz.." He suddenly blurted, causing my eyes to widen.

"What?! No.....oh god." I said flustered.

That's when a mischievous smirk pulled at Caspian's face.

"What type of things are you teaching my son? Johnnie is going to be so disappointed." He sighed dramatically, making me narrow my eyes at him.Many paragraphs are missing. Read the complete book on J o-b n-l b. c (o) m. "You already taught him that one didn't you.." I could read Caspian like a book.

Caspian just stood there for a moment before turning away from me again and looking back into the fridge.

"He will forget it by dinner..but if he doesn't..I'm blaming you." He added before pulling out last night's leftovers.

"You guys made lasagna and didn't invite us?" He asked, placing the large tin on the counter. You could always tell when it was Caspian's off season with hockey..the fridge would need to be stocked up three times a week. "Yeah, Henry wanted us to have a date night at home." I said happily, making Caspian frown.

Caspian didn't mind Henry, in fact..they got a long for the most part. But I know my son is guarded after what happened with his dad. It's hard for Cas to trust people after that...especially older male figures. I think Neal is the only one he really let in..only because he was hurt by Dave just as much as the rest of us.

"Oh, so you guys are still doing that huh?" Caspian while going to the cabinets and grabbing a plate. "You want some?" He asked and I shook my head no. It was ten in the morning..lasagna wasn't exactly my first choice for a healthy breakfast. "What do you mean by "that"? If you mean dating..then yes Cas..he lives here after all." I said, shaking my head in disbelief. "I don't know..I thought the guy would've proposed or something by now." Caspian stated and I was actually taken by surprise. "Would you be okay with that?" I asked curiously, making Caspian shrug.

"I just want you to be happy mom..and he seems to make you happy. I just don't want him to string you along or something."

"Cas..we don't have to be married to be happy..and plus, we both have been burned before..so I'm sure that is part of it.." I added, feeling a little awkward to be talking about this with my son..who knew he would even be thinking that?

I mean..yeah..I have thought about it.. Henry and I have been together for three years now. But I know the death of his previous wife was something that still affects him. Even when I go to doctor appointments for random checkups he has to come because he is scared they might find something wrong with me.

I still remember the first time we were together..I had been with only one person before..obviously Dave. And Henry hadn't been with anyone since Liz passed..so it was almost like we were both born-again virgins in a sense. We weren't used to being with other people.

"Are you sure you are ready for this?" He gasped, his mouth dragging across my throat as I nodded eagerly. It was the night after confronting Dave..Henry asked me out to dinner to celebrate and we somehow ended up at a hotel afterwards. "f**k, you are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen Viva." He mumbled while stripping off my clothes. I felt nervous about letting someone else see me naked..I mean..I wasn't in my twenties anymore..even though I kept in shape, I still felt insecure about what he might think. I felt Henry's hands drag down to the length of my dress, his smooth fingers slipping beneath the hem before hiking it up past my thighs.

"I want to taste you Viva." He growled, making my eyes flutter shut as I bit my lip anxiously. Every inch of my skin tingled with excitement, his gentle movement surprising me as I had only known Dave's rough and dominating touch.

Dave only thought about himself..not just in everyday life..but in bed too..he liked it hard and fast..whenever and wherever he wanted it. So to experience something like this with Henry..I felt something entirely new..like we were connecting on a whole other level..and when his mouth latched onto my core..I swear my world changed forever.

I didn't know it could be like this..that one person could know every single inch of me..finding what makes me tick and give me the best orgasm I had ever had in my life. So yeah..it's safe to say Henry and I are more than attracted to one another..I even feel like a teenager sometimes with him..sneaking around and having s*x in his office or the back of the car. Luckily we haven't been caught yet..

If Henry did ask me to marry him...I would say yes in a heartbeat..that much I do know. But I won't pressure him. I am just fine with how we are now.

"Okay, I'm not trying to pry.." Caspian said before lifting his hands in surrender. "But just know..if you were holding back because of me..you don't have to Mom. Not to sound conceded or anything." He added, making me smile as I nodded softly.

I looked at Caspian carefully..that angsty teenager he once was no longer there as I now saw a man in his place...not just any man either..a damn good one at that..

Not only was he a great husband..but an amazing father too. Seeing how he is with Everett...it makes me feel like I must've done something right..despite all of the s**t Dave put him though.

"What? Why are you crying? What did I say?" My son began to panic, making me laugh as I wiped at my eyes. "Nothing..I just love you. And I'm proud of you Cas." I explained, making Caspian blink his eyes in confusion as he and Everett kept looking at me worriedly. Everett hugged me tight, making my heart burst with happiness.

"Um..thanks..love you too mom." He muttered and went back to the lasagna as he dished out a huge piece. "So, tell me what Heather wants..I guess I could use a good laugh." I muttered, knowing this should be good..
