Madeliene Meadows

It's a few days later and I'm getting side eye from my cousin Carly as we sit out on Donovan's small patio as Donovan and Max..Carly's husband and Donovans best friend stand at the grill drinking beers. 

"Quit looking at me like that" I turn my eyes to her, taking my eyes off Donovan, I lift my mixed drink to my lips and glare at her over the top of the glass.

"I know you Maddie...you fall fast...i mean...seriously...you moved in with him?" She whispers to me. 

I know Carly loves Donovan, that he's like a brother to her, I know she doesn't hate him , but she also knows the shit guys I've dated, and yes, maybe Donovan was a ladies man, but that was before me, and from what he's told me and what Carly's admitted, he's never cheated on a girl. Hell, he's never really truly dated a woman seriously in all the time she's known him. Donovan admitted to me that he did his fair share of sleeping around, and I had no judgement on it what so ever, because I didn't care about what he did before he was with me. Okay, that's a lie, a very small part of me want to grow a set of claws and dig them into the girls he had before me, just because. The only isssue I've had was with that one bitch at the bar that one night that was being a bitch with her friends because she clearly thought I wasnt good enough for Donovan. But he'd dealt with my crazy ex Jason multiple times now, so I wasnt about to gripe over having to deal with his fan club. Donovan is handsome as hell, so it's only to be expected I'll have to bring out the fighter in me now and then. 

"I love him Car." I say and she blinks at me. 

It's only been a few days since the very last box of mine was moved in and Donovan and I told each other I love you, and we havent stopped saying it since. He matches his affinity for telling me how pretty and perfect I am, with how often he says he loves me. I'm so fucking happy and I'm kind of annoyed that Carly is judging my happiness. 

"He's good to me Car...so good to me." I say , my emotions catching in my throat and she hears it and sees it as my eyes start to water.

"I've never met anyone like him...he's been beyond perfect to me...he told me I could fucking paint the house pink." I say with a little laugh my eyes watering and her brows move with emotion as she sees it on my face. 

"He threatened Jason...multiple times..." I say and her brows raise. 

"Oh?" she says and then I tell her briefly about the encounter the night we decided I was going to move in with him. 

"Shit." she says. Then tosses a look to the guys. I follow her gaze and my heart beats faster as Donovan laughs at something Max said and Max is moving his hands animatedly telling some kind of story. A big smile finds my face as I watch him loving his tall frame shaking with laughter, his hand on his stomach as he laughs. 

Carly sighs and then I look to her and she's already looking back at me. 

"I will kill him if he hurts you." she says.

I don't take my eyes off of Donovan. 

"He won't." I say simply. 

---------------------------

We eat , we talk, we drink and we laugh. And thankfully Carly doesnt give either me or Donovan a lecture about how fast things have moved for us, or threaten to hurt him. Though I'm sure she will just as a reminder at some point. 

I stand up to grab the plates and Donovan stands too, shaking his head at me. 

"I've got it. Sit. " he says, taking the plates. Carly looking at him and at me and he cocks a brow at me as if to dare me to fight him on it just so he can "Punish" me for it later. Aka, throw me around like a rag doll and fuck me silly. Which, he'll do anyways. 

"Okay Mister Draper" I say, releasing the plate and sitting back down and he licks his teeth at me with a heated stare and I feel it all the way to my toes. 

"Okay, this tension is gross, do you want us to go?" Carly says and Max laughs, Donovan smirks and slap Carly's arm. 

"Like I havent dealt with the tension between you and Max for years, talk about gross." I tease and Max leans over, biting Carly's shoulder and she slaps the side of his head lightly and playfully. 

"Knock it off you animal" she scolds him and he laughs, chomping his teeth at her and waggling his brows and I laugh as Donovan shakes his head and then takes the plates into the house. 

"So ...." Max says, taking a sip of his beer.  "You've done the impossible, how's that feel?" 

My brows pinch. "What have I done that's impossible?" I ask as Donovan walks back out with more beers in tow, and a seltzer drink for me. I smile at him as he pops it open and sets it down in front of me, then opens a beer for Carly, then hands Max his. I smile up at him. 

"You're making Don settle down." he says and Donovan grumbles. 

"Not this, for fucks sake" Donovan grumbles and I just give a little laugh.

"Here we go" Donovan rolls his eyes.

I smile, reaching over, grabbing his hand and he looks down at our hands and then at my face and smiles and gives me a little wink. I wink back at him. 

"I'm just saying...never thought I'd see it. I thought Don was happy being a bachelor." Max says.

"He probably was." I say. "but then...there's me...and I'm perfect..so." I shrug with a little smile at Donovan he winks again. 

"Damn straight." Donovan says and then reaches to the arm of the chair, taking his hand from mind and I give a little yelp as he drags the chair right to the side of his and places his arm over the back of the chair. 

"So go on...tell us we're both crazy...I know Car is dying to tell Madeliene what a big mistake she's making with me." Donovan says as he takes a drink of his beer. 

"It's just a bit fast." Max says casually. He's not trying to be an ass, but Donovan glares at him. 

"When you know , you know." I say and Donovan looks at me and leans over, kissing me. 

"So he's not holding you hostage or anything?" Max teases and Donovan groans with annoyance and Max laughs, Carly bites back a little laugh. 

"Only sometimes." I say suggestively. "But I always give my consent." I say. Donovan chokes on his beer and gives me a look of surprise and I laugh. Max laughing and Carly just shakes her head. 

"Well damn" Max says. 

"That's more than Donovans let on, you didnt tell me you two were into the ole bdsm" Max waggles his brows jokingly.

"We're not fucking talking about our sex life with you" Donovan says. 

"I know you share your sexcapades with him Don" Carly says and Donovan grits his teeth. 

"That was before." He growls and I pat his thigh and he looks at me. Max and Carly are just joking with us, but he's getting so defensive. I rub his thigh and give him a soft smile. 

"Before what?" Max says.

"Before Mads?" Carly says and Donovan cuts her with a stare that I would NOT want to be on the receiving end of. I swallow hard. 

"Her name is Madeliene. Not fucking Mads." he says and I'm about to jump this mans bones right here at this table. 

I rub his thigh and look to Carly who is starting at him and scoffs.

"She's my cousin I've called her Ma-"

"That's what Jason called me." I say flatly. 

"And, it's not her fucking name." he huffs and god I love him. 

"Easy tiger." I say quietly and he looks at me, I stroke his thigh and smile at him, shaking my head slightly. 

"Well, am I allowed to call her Maddie?" Carly bites out. 

"If you must." Donovan says and looks at her and rolls her eyes. 

"damn" Max says. He lets out a low whistle. 

"Just not Mads." I tell Carly. 

"Definitely not fucking Mads." he growls and god he's so grumpy right now, and it's insanely hot to me that it's over me and my name. I love that he never calls me anything other than Madeliene, and when he says my last name too? I become a fucking puddle, melting every single fucking time. 

"Got it" Carly says with a little shake of her head. "Annywaayyyyys" she sing songs for a subject change. 

Minutes later my hot fucking storm cloud boyfriend is back to laughing and talking normally, and back at ease as we all talk about random stuff. 

We call Max and Carly an uber to take them back home since they were drinking, and Donovan promises to bring their car in the morning before Carly has to be to work. 

I hug Max and Carly good bye, and so does Donovan, and then he slides a hand around my stomach and tugs me out of the doorway and shuts the door and leans down, bringing his mouth to my ear. 

"Take your fucking clothes off Madeliene" he growls.
