" Lights daddy, lights!", Ethan cried excitedly and went running to Henry.
Henry smiled brightly and scooped up the little boy, kissing him on the cheek. " Do you like them?"
" Uh huh", Ethan nodded furiously.
Henry kissed Ethan's forehead, " Well good, cause there's more"
" YAY!"
Henry chuckled then moved away from the group to give her a kiss on the lips, " Hey Darlin'"
" Hi Henry, the lights are amazing", Claire said in awe.
" You're welcome", Came Sebastian's disgruntled snort from behind Henry.
" I see you had help", Claire chuckled.
Henry nodded, " Yeah, I never would have gotten it done in time without the guys. By the way, Claire this is Shea, Shea this is my girlfriend Claire and her son Ethan"
The gorgeous dark haired man stepped forward and shook her hand. He smiled and Claire was sure he'd broken a thousand girls hearts with it. " Nice to meet you"
" You too", Claire replied.
" Shea is Christian's best friend", Henry said, answering her unspoken question.
Claire nodded, then went around to give his brothers hugs and kisses. " Thank you guys for doing this"
Of course they all shrugged it off like it was nothing, but Claire knew how much work it was to decorate, especially a big place like Henry's house. Henry then took her hand and pulled her into the living room. Claire gasped and slapped her hand over her mouth when she saw the huge tree and all the lights and other decorations. He did this for her and Ethan.
" Henry", Claire breathed, squeezing his hand.
" Do you like it?", He asked quietly.
Claire responded the only way she could, she grabbed his face and kissed him. Henry wrapped his free arm around her waist and pulled her closer. The kiss didn't really last long because Ethan started pushing her away.
" No mommy, no kiss daddy", Ethan said with a frown.
Low masculine chuckles filled the room behind her. Claire glanced behind her to see Henry's brothers and Shea smiling softly. Even Quinn had a touch of a smile on his handsome face. She guessed even the most stoic of men had a soft spot for Ethan. She was glad that she had so many great men in her life for Ethan.
Ethan squirmed out of Henry's arms and ran to the tree. He stopped in front of it and looked up. Henry pulled Claire into his arms and kissed her softly on the lips. Claire cupped his face, kissing him a few more times.
" Thank you Henry", She whispered, her lips brushing his.
" You're welcome baby", He smiled warmly.
Later that night, after the guys left and Ethan was in bed, Claire went up to her and Henry's room to get changed into something more comfortable. She pulled on sweatpants and a long sleeved t-shirt then went into the bathroom to wash her face. She was patting her face dry with a towel when two strong arms wrapped around her waist from behind. Claire shrieked while Henry chuckled against her neck.
" Jesus Henry, you scared the shit out of me", Claire panted, placing a hand over her racing heart.
" Sorry", he mumbled, but she could feel him smiling against her skin. He was so not sorry.
Henry squeezed her a little tighter and sighed. " I love you Claire", he murmured, propping his chin on her shoulder so he could look at her through the mirror in front of them.
Claire smiled softly, " I love you too Henry"
" Are you happy with me?", He asked.
" Of course I am, why do you ask?", Claire frowned.
Henry shrugged, " Just curious, I want to be sure I'm making you happy"
Claire turned in his embrace, she cupped his face and stared up into his gorgeous green eyes.
" There is no one in this world who could make me happier than you do", she said sincerely.
Henry stared at her for a moment before crushing her mouth with his. The kiss was frenzied and desperate. Henry scooped her up and carried her into the bedroom, without breaking their kiss. He laid her down and covered her body with his. Claire's legs instinctively wrapped around his hips. Henry's hands were all over her as his mouth plundered hers.
The next thing Claire knew, they were both naked and Henry drove into her to the hilt. Claire cried out at the intensity of the pleasure he caused. Henry buried his face in her neck and groaned long and low. He shuttered on top of her before slowly pulling back and pushing back in. Claire gasped and dug her nails into his back. He always felt so fucking good. She didn't know if it had to do with his size, or the way he moved or the fact that she loved him, but it was always so damn good.
They came together, gasping and clutching at each other while screaming each other's name. Once they came down from their highs, they got cleaned up and got in bed. Henry snuggled up behind Claire, pulling her close and tucking his face against the back of her neck. They always fell asleep this way and they always woke up with Henry laying half on top of her. Claire never thought that when she met Henry that he was the kind of guy who liked to snuggle and cuddle. But Henry was very touchy feely. He liked to give and get affection. Which Claire loved because she was the same way.
