Chapter Fourteen
I woke with a start, twitching away from whatever was tickling my cheek. As I moved I groaned, aware of the pain in my ass and the various aches in other places. I worked up my courage and opened my eyes.
Aaron was there. He bent, kissed me, and said, "I love you."
"Oh God," I sort of moaned as I remembered.
"Come on sleepy butt," he said taking my hand and pulling me up.
"I have to pee," I managed, taking a step toward my bathroom.
"Okay," he said, "but just that and I'll be watching."
And he DID as I peed and wiped and then started for the sink.
"No," he said grabbing my hand, "this is a come as you are party."
"Aaarrron," I kind of wailed, looking in the mirror.
"Yes," he said, "come with me."
God, I was a mess. My hair was a rat's nest, my eyes were baggy, I smelled like sweat and sex and pussy and when I looked my ass was a big bruise.
"Aaaaarrrrrroonnnnnnnnn," I said again but he was relentless. He took my hand and started pulling me.
So I gave up and followed, my head hanging, feeling like I hadn't for a few months.
When I got downstairs they were all there, waiting for me, showered and brushed, and looking like bright and chipper college students.
Mark, ever the actor, came to me and took me in his arms. "Becky," he said, just holding me, "I love you. I am proud to call you my wife."
And, of course, I was crying.
In turn, all nine of them came to me and made the same profession of love.
I was bawling by the time they were done and we were involved in a big group hug.
Davey left the room and came back in a minute with a big breakfast which he sat at my spot.
"Eat, my love," he said, "and then, if you feel like it, we'd all like to know what that was all about last night."
I smiled through my tears and sat, wincing and letting out a loud, "owwwww" when my bruised ass hit the chair which brought general laughter and kind of broke the mood.
