"I am so damn fat and hot, I'm like a beached whale," Lacey moaned as we lounged in the backyard, bikini's on as we lazed around the pool. It was super hot in Charming today and we had planned to go out for breakfast but instead we got a boatload of fruit and cheeses and had a platter around the pool.

"A beautiful beached whale" I winked and she scoffed, nudging me with her foot. Maria was in hospital for a week before she got the all clear to go home and rest up. She'd left yesterday to head back and made us all promise we'd come visit in the next couple of weeks for a dinner party. Lacey had been up the hospital everyday, normally with me, sometimes with Juice. Happy had stayed every night and I'd try pop in at the end of my shifts, obviously there were no more kisses, especially in front of Maria but touches here and there when we crossed each other's path. Or maybe not so subtle since Maria had informed me that she'd like a grandchild before she had gotten in the car.

"What're you thinking so hard about over there" Lacey mused and I refocused to find her dark eyes watching me closely and I rolled my eyes and sat up.

"Your family should be detectives, always investigating," I teased as I rubbed a hand over her little bulge of a belly before standing up. "Come on fatty, let's swim," I insisted, holding my hands out in offering. She grabbed onto them as she narrowed her eyes at me and I tugged her up.

"Maybe if you laid it all out then we wouldn't have to be, besides we are too bad ass to be detectives" She smirked as I stuck my tongue out and dove into the icey cool bath while she safely took the steps. I treaded water as I watched her slink in.

"Where's the fun in that, not a fan of puzzles" I inquired as my body temp slowly crept down, thank god for the man who invented pools.

"My brother enjoys the puzzle trying to get into your pants but I would much rather know all the dirt on my babies godmother thank you!" She commented and I froze as I glanced over at her, feeling my eyes were wider than normal as I picked up on her words.

"Godmother" I questioned and she smiled, letting it reach her eyes and making them light up.

"Can't let this kid just have Hap for a godparent, imagine the poor soul, the only games they'd play is frowning competitions, besides if anything happened to me and Juice I can't think of anyone else I'd rather have raise my kid, not Gemma that's for sure" She shrugged and a wave of emotion flushed through me and I could feel my eyes fill but not fall. Lacey's face went from teasing to concerned in an instant. "Whoa, what did I say? I thought you'd be stoked, I'm practically offering you unlimited access to the cutest baby in the world" She rushed out as she stepped closer and I laughed.

"No I am, I am, I'm just, I'm surprised, are you sure" I questioned as I stepped closer so she wouldn't have to go in the deep end and she threw her head back to laugh loudly before grabbing my arms and tugging me into a tight hug.

"Of course you idiot, just say yes," She ordered and I laughed along with her as I squeezed her back.

"Yes, yes of course I'll be the little nuggets godmother" I agreed and she squealed as she did a little dance with me in her arms.

"Why do we always walk in on these two touching and wet?" An amused voice stated and we both glanced over to see Juice, Happy and Koz standing there, eyes all on us.

"What do you mean always? You guys need to invite me over more" Kozik commented, a grin on his face before both Juice and Happy's fist shot out to connect with either of his arms in warning. We rolled our eyes and let go of each other as Lacey headed closer to the edge.

"How about you stop gaping and give me a kiss Juicy" She smiled sweetly up at the approaching Son and he crouched down to press his mouth to hers, ignoring her big ass brother letting out a growl of annoyance and Kozik's whipping noises.

"How about you El, you want a greeting kiss" He winked over at me and I laughed as I paddle backwards into the deep end.

"I doubt you could handle me Koz" I smirked and he clutched as it chest in mock pain as I blew him a kiss. My eyes glanced over to Happy who stood just behind his brother and to the side, watching me and it caused goose bumps to rise on my skin.

"See something you like Lowman" I questioned, eyebrows raised playfully and an eyebrow of his rose in surprise at the direct call out in front of everyone.

"Let you know when I get between em" He responded without a pause and everyone fell silent before bursting out laughing as he smirked at me, I definitely liked playful Happy and I definitely liked how his arms looked in the wife beater and kutte he was wearing.

"This sexual tension is too real, you got beers inside Juicy boy, think I might go get us some so these two can cool off" Koz announced, smacking Hap's shoulder before linking his arm around Juice's shoulder and guiding him inside. Lacey slipped out of the pool quicker than I'd seen her move all damn day and headed towards the house, shouting about being pregnant and having to pee. As she disappeared I let my eyes slip back to Happy who was pulling off his kutte and top, revealing the tatted and fit body underneath. I gulped, I actually fucking gulped as I treaded water and watched him tug his shoes and socks off.

"No swimmers" I questioned as he pulled his jeans down and revealed his underwear shorts.

"Nah kid, I'd take them off as well if they weren't here," He stated and I couldn't help but giggle at that as he reached the steps and began the decent. He came in fast, unlike his sister, the cold not making him flinch or hesitate. Our gazes were locked as he stalked forward and I hadn't realized I'd been moving backwards until my butt hit the edge of the seat at the deep end edge. My hands came down onto the edge just as he reached me and slid his hands into the gap between my wrists and thighs, his stomach pressing against my knees.

"Hey" I smiled, my legs slipping open to accommodate him as he nudged them with his belly. He smirked as he glanced down to my chest and back up, obviously enjoying the reasonably modest red bikini I had on.

"I like it" He commented and I raised an eyebrow before I realized what he meant from the comments earlier. One of his hands had travelled to my lower back and he nudged me forward so I was closer to the edge and his torso was settled against me.

"How was your morning" I questioned, the first thing that came to mind and he leant closer, his mouth hovering above mine.

"Better now" He gruffed before his mouth was on mine. It was like a flip switched inside me and my hands came to run up his chest and over his shoulders to link around his neck as one of his arms wrapped around my middle and the other kept him balanced on the step. His tongue pushed past my lips and the taste of tobacco and mint filled my mouth as I flicked mine against his. My shoulders hit the warm edge of the tiles around the pool and I realized we'd slipped further back onto the step, our bodies tilted with his slipping over the top of mine. A squeal broke out just in time for our mouths to disconnect to breathe followed by Koz wolf whistling.

"Definitely better" I mumbled as he held up a finger behind his head to the peeping tom's at the window. I reconnected our mouths as I tightened my legs around him, only then noticing I'd wrapped them around his hips as I bit onto his lower lip. A growl came from his throat and goddamn if it wasn't the sexiest sound I had ever heard. I was so lost in the damn taste and feel of his attack on my mouth that I'd lost my bearings as his hand slid up my stomach and pushed it under the bikini top. Lucky his body was covering mine from view of the house, just maybe not the neighbors. I grabbed his wrist as he caught my nipple between his fingers and gave it a tug, drawing a gasp out my lips.

"Juice I don't want my brothers load in my damn pool" I heard Lacey hiss and I pulled back, breathing hard as I met Happy's dark eyes.

"I think that's our cue to cool off" I breathed out and he moved back slightly, straightening us up as he pulled his hand out.

"Bad idea to start around my sister" He grumbled and I unwrapped my legs slowly as I shuffled back, breaking most skin contact except his hands resting on my hips. "Party at the club tonight, you coming" He questioned as his eyes slipped down to my chest then back up and I felt a pull in my lower abdomen. His thumb was brushing against my skin, slipping under the edge of my bikini bottoms every now and then as he watched me.

"Depends, you gonna bail on me for a croweater" I questioned as my hips involuntarily rolled towards him and he smirked.

"Trust me Kid, I'll be on you all night" He informed and I nodded, agreeing to go because if I didn't I was pretty sure I'd sexually combust and if my body had that reaction from just a kiss, well fuck.
