V for Virgin!

I couldn't hold it in anymore and I squealed with happiness, launching myself at him. I wrapped my arms around his neck, my legs around his lower back, and held on to him like I was on the Titanic and he was my life jacket. He laughed as he fell into the door, his arms coming around my back to hold me in place.

"I take it you're okay with it," Ethan said, still laughing.

Instead of saying I was okay with it, I pulled slightly away. I moved my hands to cup his face, letting him see the utter devotion I was going to have in this relationship to them both, and then I pulled him into a deep, passionate kiss that left us both breathless. When I pulled away, Ethan's eyes were fluttering open and his face was flushed.

"I'm more than okay with it. Now, let's go tell Seth."

Ethan turned with me, still holding me as he kicked his leg out to shut the passenger car door. The car beeped signaling Ethan had locked it and his shoes squeaked on the pavement as he swiveled around.

"Seth is already in bed waiting for us. He didn't have any doubt you'd say yes."

"He's so conceited," I said with an amused snort. "He's not really in bed waiting for us is he?"

Ethan nodded, "Said he'd be naked and waiting."

I bit my lip with anticipation, and the erotic image of white sheets slinking down his hips swamped me. "Mm, maybe you should walk faster," I said.

Ethan laughed again, but he knew I was serious. We were at the elevator in record time, but when the tan colored sliding doors opened to reveal a woman, we both paused.

"Mom?"

Ethan's mother's eyes widened as she noticed the way Ethan was holding me, and she screamed, startling a yelp out of me. Ethan just rolled his eyes.

"Well," she said, after her impromptu screech of joy, "it's about time! Oh just wait until I tell your father!"

"Ma!" Ethan interrupted her.

She stepped forward and patted Ethan on his check then gave me a quick corner-of-the-mouth kiss. "Darling, I brought you some groceries. That handsome boy of yours, Seth, helped me put them away," she paused to fan her face, "I must've caught him just coming out of the shower because all he had was a towel around him when I walked in."

"Ma!" Ethan's face was lobster red and all I could do was shake my head in disbelief.

She frowned. "Let's not tell your father that part."

"Oh my God!" Ethan cried out mortified.

"Oh, don't be so dramatic, Ethan. Nothing happened! He's very handsome though. I think I understand the whole... what is it called?"

I snorted and shook my head. "Cougar, I think. Where an older woman goes after a younger man?" I asked, now biting my lip to keep the wide smile off my face as Ethan shot me a glare..

"That's it!"

"Cassie, please don't encourage her," Ethan said.

His mother dropped her hands to her hips. "Okay, okay, I'll stop," she said. "I'm so happy you too are getting together. Don't rush things and ruin it though. I have very specific plans for your wedding." She stopped and tapped a finger against the face of her watch. "Now look, I've got to run, but I want you three to come over for dinner sometime this next week. Okay? Promise!"

"We will," I answered for Ethan.

He gave me another tiny scowl but kissed his mother's cheek as she left and power walked towards her car. Ethan dropped his arms from around my waist, no longer holding me up. All that kept me in place was my arms and legs, which were wrapped around him.

"Get off," he grumbled.

I dropped a laughing kiss to the tip of his nose. "Don't pout. Seth and I will put you back in the mood."

"She was checking out my--I mean our--boyfriend. You aren't a little disgusted?"

"It's cute. Besides, she's so in love with your dad I'm surprised she even notices the opposite sex."

Ethan harrumphed and I wiggled against him, encouraging him to take a step forward into the elevator. "Why does it have to be Seth when she does notice though?" he asked, faking a gag.

"Oh stop!" I smacked his shoulder and then snorted as I thought about Seth and the little adventure he had. "Poor Seth," I said and chuckled.

Ethan nodded. "He's probably curled in a corner somewhere. Might have to get him back in the mood too," Ethan paused and wrapped his arms back around me, settling his lower hand against my ass and patting it. His already flushed face turned a brick red. "This is gonna take some getting used to."

"We'll get there... sooner than you think," I whispered against his cheek.

He nodded and pushed the elevator button to make the doors open again. When he walked us in, he tipped me towards the button panel and I tapped the one for the fifth floor.

"So," Ethan started, "are you up for it? I don't want you to think you have to right now. A lot has happened today, so we would understand..."

"Don't even!"

"I'm just saying I'm not sure you're ready to get both Seth and me back in the mood. I mean what we just went through was fairly traumatizing."

"Your mother is not traumatizing."

"Well we'll ask Seth how much he appreciated her impromptu visit then."

I smirked and raised an eyebrow. "Ethan?"

"What?"

"Challenge accepted!"
