Shackled (The Lord Series) by Carlos
385. Rueben - Juniper I

My gaze goes to the stable. A big apple tree is next to it, branches reaching the stable's roof. And on the damn roof is Juniper, eating blooms and buds. Fucking goat! It's all over the place. How the fuck did she get on the roof?

Diva barks, startling the horses. Juniper ignores us.

Spencer doesn't know what to make of Juniper, so I say, "Forget about the goat. She will be turned into a kebab soon." Spencer puts on an 'eww' face. "How about I show you your new room?" "Yes!"

I take Spencer's hand into mine, and we slowly make it to the cabin. Diva walks behind us, protecting us from any danger. I'll need to get Spencer, his own dog. I'll personally train it to guard Spencer day and night, to never leave his side. With the enemy knowing about Spencer and with Olivia pregnant, any measure is too little. Since Olivia learned of her powers, she has became a bit too reckless. Tyson and the others have been too lenient with her. We should have punished her for putting herself in danger like that, but Tyson and Jasper are blinded by love. They let Olivia do everything she wants without thinking of the consequences. Ansel and Mose are no better, but at least they keep an eye on things. I'm the only one who truly knows what it is to lose loved ones. Jasper might be the leader now, but he and the others need to be stricter with Olivia.

I might be the only one who doesn't think with my dick. Although, when it comes to Olivia, all I can think about is her soft body and sweet scent, and her moans when I'm inside her.

I slap my hand over my mouth, because I can't have such thoughts when I'm with my son. It's Olivia's fault! Because she's so damn...perfect. Until her, I never truly experienced love or happiness. If she only knew how I have to control myself around her. I'm not the only one who struggles with self-control. The others are just as bad, if not worse. In time, when she no longer thinks of the past, we will show her how all-consuming our love is. We will possess her completely, her body ours to use for our pleasure. We mustn't rush things, as her body still bears the scars of her past traumas. But one day, when what we did to her is a distant memory, we will show her what being a Lady really means. Spencer and I reach the lake.

The sun is slowly setting, the colors reflecting in the water. I never appreciated the beauty of this place until now. We should have moved here a long time ago.

Olivia's garden is full of flowers and they are all in bloom.

We should build a small playground for Spencer next to it. Olivia can tend to her flowers while watching Spencer when we are not here. With a five-year-old and a baby on the way, we will be busier than ever. The entrance door is open. Voices come from the living room, confirming the others are there.

Spencer and I go inside. Diva remains on the porch.

We enter the house into the kitchen where Mose, Khloe, and Jon are preparing snacks. After helping Spencer wash his hands, I take him to the living room. While I want to show him the room we prepared for him, Olivia will probably cut off my balls if I steal this moment from her.

Olivia is sitting on the sofa, looking a little pale. The others are slowly unpacking the luggage and putting everything away.

"Mommy, you're awake!"

Spencer runs to Olivia, who catches him in her arms. She kisses his chubby cheeks before they snuggle together. The pure love only a mother can feel radiates from her.

It's not the first time I've experienced it. My mom used to be the same with Camila. She loved me, too, in her way, but not like she loved my sister or how Olivia loves Spencer. I'd do anything to be loved like that by Olivia.

*Anything.*

A feeling I've never experienced before floods my heart.

*Obsession.*

I am suddenly obsessed with the woman before me.

Is this how the others feel? No wonder they are always all over Olivia.

I can't wait to see her belly round, her tits heavy with milk. Her body will be my only object of adoration.

Trying to think of something else than her under me, my cock deep in that sweet pussy of hers, I say, "Juniper is on the stable." To Spencer, I say, "Juniper is the goat." Tyson and Jasper frown. "You mean in the stable?" Tyson asks.

Spencer jumps down from Olivia's lap. "On the roof." He rushes to Tyson and Jasper. "Come on, Daddies, I'll show you both," he says as he grabs them by their hands and pulls them after him. Adoration appears on Olivia's face. I don't think I've seen her so happy until now.

Tyson and Jasper leave with Spencer. The smile disappears from her face. Dark circles are under her eyes.

I sit next to Olivia. "You don't look so well."

Her head rests on my shoulder. I put my arm around her. "It must be from the flight. I felt sick the entire time."

"Do you want to rest for a bit?" I inquire.

"There's so much to do...Get ready for the meeting at the Blood Lodge. The Old Farts must still be fuming. They won't be happy to see me." Old Farts? Does she mean the Elders? "Regain custody of Spencer. Find Alma. Slap some sense into Mose." She sighs.

I kiss the top of her head. "You don't need to stress yourself. This is why you have us," I remind her.

Olivia has a moment of vulnerability. "All this feels like a dream. I'm afraid I'll wake up and..." She chokes on her words. "There are moments when I wonder if I'm high and hallucinating everything. I'm so happy. It can't be real." Her eyes glimmer with tears. "You are so good to me, like before. I hate how much I love you all." Her teeth sink into her bottom lip. "Maybe I should lie down for a bit. I don't feel like myself. I'm usually good at keeping my emotions in check." Is she being hormonal? I need to learn what to expect from pregnant women.

"Let me help you," I say.
