Chapter 118: A Chance

Ashton's POV

I was kissing Megan like I hadn't kissed her fo a long time, and I wanted to take her into our room and make love with her until morning. Still, Ava was calling our names when it was time for dinner, and we were both breathless after I released her sweet mouth; Megan looked so adorable when I found her touching her lips with her fingers, and I knew, like me, she can still feel my lips on her mouth.

"I want to skip dinner because I am dying to take you to our bed, Meg," I whispered in her ear the moment we sat at the long dining table, and I could see the blush that crept on her face, and when I caressed her thigh under the table, I could tell she was catching her breath.

"Me too, Ashton, and would you please stop torturing me, or else I can't concentrate on eating my meal." She responded, and I chuckled, but I didn't listen to my wife; I dragged her dress and found the hem, and I touched my wife's bare flesh under the table, and she was shaking her head while I could see a mischievous grin on her face.

And I was stunned; the next thing I knew, she was touching my thighs under the table, and when I felt her soft fingers caressing me up and down, I grunted. I took her hand and clasped my fingers with hers, and I loved what she was doing, but I didn't think I could finish my dinner with my wife's hand stroking me under the table.

And it was such a wise move, and I loved how my wife teased me back; I could feel my entire body was on fire, and I didn't know if I could finish eating if we would continue teasing each other.

"Dad, are you okay?" I heard our son's voice, and I turned my head to look at him, I beamed when I found him sitting on my grandpa's lap, and I knew he was old enough to be sitting on grandpa Henry's lap, but I was sure it was my grandpa's idea because I could tell how much he missed our son.

"Yes, buddy, I am," I responded as I smiled at Axel.

"Why do you look like you are in pain?" He asked, and I couldn't stop laughing.

"No, I am so happy tonight, buddy, and I couldn't even express the happiness I felt in words, and do you know why?" I asked, and he nodded his head.

"Yeah, I know, daddy, you married mom today." He responded while he was smiling from ear to ear.

"I am so happy too, Dad, because I know we will be living in the same house, and you will read me bedtime stories together with mommy." He responded, and everyone around the table laughed.

"I can read you bedtime stories if you visit and stay at my place, Axel." My grandpa said before I could have the chance to answer my son.

"Same with us, Axel; your uncles can read your bedtime stories if you have a vacation in our house," Lennon said, and my son's eyes widened, and I could see the sadness on his face.

"Can you visit at our house, grandpa, uncle Lennon?" He asked them both, and they nodded their heads in unison.

"Why do you want us to visit you, buddy?" My brother asked.

"Because you can sleep in my room, and you can read me bedtime stories; I don't want to leave my mom because I know she will cry if I leave our house." He said, and he looked so adorable.

"Oh, you are so sweet, Axel, but you will have a brother or a sister soon. Do you think you can visit us if you have a sibling?" My mother asked, and I could see the confusion on his face; then he looked at us, and I was smiling at him, and then I looked at my wife, and I found her staring at me.

"Are you going to give me a brother, mom, dad?" He asked, and I smiled as I nodded my head.

"If you promised to be a loving brother, then your mom and I will make you a brother or a sister," I responded as I winked at Megan; I could see my wife was blushing, and I felt so happy that I still have the same effect to her.

"Yes, I promised, dad, yehey! I am going to have a brother!" He exclaimed excitedly, and we all laughed, and I could no longer concentrate on eating my food as I thought of making love with my sweet wife, and I couldn't wait to be alone with her.

We ate our dinner happily, and everyone was having a good time, I was holding my wife's hand over the table, and I couldn't stop myself from giving her a quick peck on her lips.

"I love you, Meg," I whispered in her ear.

"I love you more, Ashton," Megan answered as she looked at me full of love.

"Are you ready to make another baby, my beautiful wife?" I asked in more than a whisper, and I could see the happiness on her face as she nodded her head.

Everyone was laughing except Isabelle, and I could tell my sister was having a hard time, and I needed to do something. I hadn't seen my sister this lonely, and I could tell she was affected by Dexter's presence; when I looked at Dexter, he was talking with his younger sister, and I knew he was avoiding Isabelle.

As usual, after eating dessert, the boys went to the beachfront, and we formed a circle as we sat on the sand; this time, I opted to sit beside Dexter while my brothers were busy talking with grandpa and Zachary. I asked my brother-in-law to follow me, and I brought him near the water as far away from everyone.

We heard the girls' laughter on one of the cottages, and I knew right away they were having fun playing card games; and I knew my son was enjoying with them, and when I looked at my watch, it was still early for him to sleep.

"What do you want to talk about, Ashton?" Dexter asked, and I could tell he felt uneasy as he faced me, and then he turned his head to look at the water.

"Do you still love my sister?" I asked, and I could tell he tensed up.

"Why do you ask, Ashton, and I am sorry to say this, even if you got married to Megan, you don't have any right to interfere with my personal life, and it is none of your business." He responded right away.

"Yeah, I know, and don't get me wrong, Dex, but I love my sister, and I don't want her to look that way; she is miserable because of you, Dex, and if you have something left for her, I hope you will be brave enough to confess to her how you feel." I declared, and he looked at me with anger on his face.

"And you are not blind, Dex, and I want to make it my business because Belle is very close to me, and she loves me, and I know until now my sister is still in love with you, and she is hurting because you didn't even look at her in the eyes," I added, and I could see the shocked on his face.

"That is not true," he responded in more than a whisper.

"I am not asking you to believe me, and I hope you will find it out on your own, but I already told you the truth, and I am not lying to you, Dex, and you were the reason why Isabelle canceled her engagement. She is still crazy in love with you." I replied.

"I will speak with Isabelle, and I will take her to the empty cottage on the farthest side, and I want you to come to her after I leave her and this is your chance, Dex, and please stop feeling stubborn and follow what your heart wants, and don't be afraid to face my father because you have our full support together with my brothers," I added while he remained speechless.

"We all wanted Belle to be happy, and you are her only happiness, Dex," I said, and I walked away from him even if he didn't say a single word.

"Belle, can I have a word with you?" I asked, and she looked at me with concern on her face while I gave my wife a wink; and I knew Megan knew what was going on, and I held my sister's hand, and I brought her to the empty cottage.

"Is everything okay, Ashton?" She asked, and I smiled at my sister.

"Yeah, and there is nothing you need to get worried about, Isabelle, everything is under control, and I am so happy that I finally married the woman that I love, and I think you need to have a love life, too," I responded, and she laughed.

"Ashton, you know I stopped believing in love for a long time," she replied, and I cupped her face.

"You need to believe again, Belle, and please, let go of the past, and move on. And giving your heart a chance to be happy again, and don't be afraid to find your happiness." I stated.

" I believe you need to give Dexter a chance to explain his side and to tell you that until now, he is still crazy about you, and I know you might think he was avoiding you, and you didn't realize he was watching you with love from a distance, and he only loves you, Belle," I said, and when I was about to go, I smiled when I saw Megan's brother coming in our direction.

"Don't walk away, Belle; Dexter is coming, and he wanted to speak with you," I added while I left my sister speechless in the cottage, I was so excited for them, and I made my way to the other cottage to pick up Megan since I couldn't wait to bring her to our room.

Everyone cheered when I picked up my wife from her seat, and she was giggling as I carried her inside the beautiful vacation home straight to our suite room, and I could tell it would be a long night for my sister and Dexter while it would be a steamy hot night for my wife and me.
