He shook his head and furrowed his brow as if he were totally confused. "If you don't remember that, then maybe you'll remember this," I said, dropping to my knees, taking him into my mouth. I sucked on his hard cock, and swirled my tongue around the tip before letting it pop free of my mouth. I looked up in satisfaction as I saw the look of lust and need in his eyes. "Get dressed sugar bear, the guys will be home any minute," I grinned and turned, heading up the stairs with my clothes in hand. I looked over my shoulder once I reached the top of the stairs and found him standing, frozen in place, with his pierced cock hard and standing at attention. The look on his face was priceless. It was almost like he had lost his favorite toy. I laughed out loud and headed to the shower to wash off the smell of sex before the guys arrived.

"Hey guys! How was the arcade?" I asked as I walked into the kitchen to find Jinx and Levi sitting at the dining room table with glasses of iced tea. Linc was at the counter, peeling hard boiled eggs to make his famous deviled eggs. Why they were famous, I had no clue. When I asked, he said if he told me, he'd have to kill me, so I didn't push it.

"It was paintball," Jinx said.

"Yeah, it's the only place that we can kill each other and not go to jail for it," Chance said, laughing as he and a beautiful young woman entered the room. That must have been Honor, the new bass guitar player. Since the guys had been on the road, I hadn’t had the opportunity to meet her yet. She had long, blonde hair with blue highlights, the same color as Chance's Mohawk. I wondered if it was just a coincidence. She was around my height, long legs, and a slim build. She had stunning blue eyes.

"Hi, you must be Honor," I said, stepping forward, offering her my hand. "I'm Honesty, Jinx's sister," I said with a smile and she smiled and took my hand.

"She's not just Jinx's little sister, she's my woman," Linc said. "Isn't that right, babe?" He said, looking at me from over his shoulder with a sexy grin on his face. My thoughts immediately went to the dining room table. As if he knew what I was thinking, he gave me a quick nod to let me know he had, in fact, wiped down the table after I went upstairs.

"That's right, sugar bear," I teased and he groaned as the guys gave him hell about his new nick name. I smirked, loving every minute of it.

"It's nice to finally meet you," Honor said from behind me. I had gotten so distracted by my thoughts I had forgotten we weren't finished with our conversation. "I've heard so many nice things about you from your brother," she said, and I made a mental note to ask Jinx about it later.

"Well, welcome to the group. I hope the guys have treated you well. They can act like a bunch of two year olds at times," I said teasingly, glancing where the guys still sat around the table, joking with one another. It warmed my heart to see everyone together and happy.

"I've noticed that. Especially when it comes to breakfast; I finally got tired of all the arguing and bought a box of pop tarts and some fruit loops. I told them to suck it up and fill up because that was all they were getting," she said with a laugh. I couldn't hold back my own laughter.

"You are going to do just fine with these guys," I said, wrapping my arm around her shoulders in a welcoming hug. "Want to help me get dinner on the table?" I asked her and she jumped at the opportunity.

"It smells like a fart in here," Chance said, sniffing the air and crinkling his nose.

"That would be your upper lip," Honor said, earning herself a snort from Chance. Even though her back was to him, I saw the smile that spread across her lips. There was definitely something going on between those two. It was going to be fun to sit back and watch.

Once dinner was on the table and we were all seated, I decided to carry on a tradition we used to do in our household before my parents died. "I would like to go around the table and each of us say something that we are thankful for," I said, and I was surprised when no one objected.

"I'll start," I told them. "This year, I'm thankful for my brother and the fact he has finally allowed me to grow up and make my own decisions. I'm thankful for each of you guys for welcoming me into the group and becoming a part of my family. I think of each of you as brothers. I'm thankful to finally get to meet Honor and I look forward to getting to know her. I'm most thankful for the man in my life and the love he has shown me. We have formed a bond like no other and I love you, sugar bear," I said, with a grin.

Linc flipped the guys off when they snickered at my endearment. I looked to my right where Jinx sat next to me, indicating it was his turn to speak.

"This year, I'm most thankful for my sister. You've grown into a beautiful young woman and, even though I trust your decisions, I will always look out for you until the day that I die. I'm thankful that those who were dragging us down are no longer in our lives, and now we can move on to bigger and better things. I'm thankful to have Honor as a part of the band now and I look forward to having her tour with us next year. Welcome to the Dirty Affliction family," he said, lifting his tea glass, as if to salute her. Looking to his right, he nudged Levi with his elbow.

"This year, I'm thankful for you guys and the band," he said and then looked toward Honor who was sitting next to him.

"Oh, I think I'm going to cry man!" Chance teased Levi.

"Fuck you dick head," Levi replied, followed by a burst of laughter.

"This year, I'm thankful to be a part of the band. I look forward to touring with you guys. I'm also thankful for the opportunity to begin again," she said, which made me wonder what she meant by “begin again.” Definitely a conversation for another time; maybe once I had gotten to know her better.

She looked to her right where Linc sat, to the left of me. He actually stood from the table, something that no one else did. We all took the lazy way out and sat in our chairs.

"I have so much to be thankful for this year. My sobriety, my health, but most of all, I'm thankful for you, baby," he said, looking down at me. My heart began to race in my chest and my palms began to sweat. There was just something different about the look on his face. I couldn’t explain it; it was unlike anything I had seen before. "You stuck by me, even when I didn't deserve it. You believed in me when no one else did. You loved me when I couldn't love myself. You help me to be a better person. The first time I laid eyes on you, I knew you were my soul mate. We were made for each other," he said, moving his chair back and dropping to one knee. "I love you and I want to spend the rest of my life making you happy. Honesty Marie Raines, will you marry me?" He asked as he pulled a small, black velvet box from the front pocket of his jeans.

I was already crying and saying, “Yes” before he even revealed the ring. I couldn't think of anything I wanted more than to spend the rest of my life with the man I loved.

"Yes. Lincoln Abel McKay. Yes! I will marry you!" I exclaimed as I wrapped my arms around his neck and cried into his shoulder. I could hear the sounds of applause around the table as Linc whispered sweet declarations of his love in my ear. That was the best Thanksgiving ever!

The End
