Trey sat back. “What about us?”
I stared at him, stunned. “There is no us, Trey, and there never was. We were two people with broken hearts who found a kinship with each other, a place to forget the hurt for a while.”
Trey took a deep breath and let it out quickly. “So, that’s all I was to you, Jessie? A means to forget about your guy here.” He jerked his head toward Scott. He leaned forward and looked into my eyes. “What about that time we shared together? You were ready to make love to me. Or have you forgotten that?”
The next thing I knew, Scott had grabbed Trey by the shirt and was about to punch him.
“Scott! Please don’t! Please let me handle this. Please,” I pleaded as I put my hand on his arm.
Scott pushed Trey back, and he slammed into the seat.
I grabbed Scott’s hand and cleared my throat. “Trey, you know that was a mistake, and I asked you to stop. Why did I tell you to stop?”
Trey looked away.
“Trey?”
He never looked at me as he said, “Because you said you still loved him.”
I slowly let out the breath I’d been holding in. I wasn’t sure why I had been holding my breath. I guessed I was worried Trey would lie. He could have easily lied and said we had made love, but then I would have really never talked or even looked his way again.
“Jessie, I’m not going to lie to you and say I don’t have feelings for you because I do. That month was probably some of the best days of my life.”
I shook my head. “No, they weren’t, Trey. We were hiding from the world. We were just two people who didn’t want to face reality, and we got lost in a make-believe world. You don’t love me, Trey. You love the idea of me. You need to go home, get back to work, and move on with your life. Someday, you’re going to meet a girl who is going to fall head over heels in love with you. You’re going to ask her to marry you, and things will work out this time.”
Trey looked me in the eyes and then turned to Scott. He shut his eyes and shook his head. “I do love you, Jessie. That much I know is true, but I also know you’ve loved Scott from the first moment I saw you. As much as I want to try to convince you that you have feelings for me…I know deep down inside that you don’t.”
I could almost feel Scott’s entire body relaxing.
I gave Trey a small smile. “I’ll always care about you as a friend. You really helped me through a rough time, and I’d like to think I helped you as well. But as far as loving you…I love Scott. I’ll always love Scott.”
Trey nodded his head slowly and let a small smile play across his face. “Well then, I guess that means I’m heading home to face the family and the million questions I’ll be answering.” He stood, reached for his wallet, and took out a twenty. He threw it down on the table, and then he extended his hand to Scott.
Scott stood and shook it.
“You’re one lucky son of a bitch. I hope you know that,” Trey said as he gestured toward me.
Scott turned and smiled down at me. “Yeah, I know. I’m not lucky though…I’m blessed.” He winked at me.
Trey looked at me and smiled. “I guess this is it then, huh? This is where I wish you the best of luck and hope that you find happiness forever…even if it’s not with me.”
I let out a small laugh and nodded. “I guess so. Have a safe trip to Dallas, Trey.”
I stuck my hand out to shake his, and he just looked at me before glancing down at my hand. Then, he slowly turned and walked away. I watched as he left the café.
I looked at Scott, and his eyes were no longer filled with hurt or doubt. They were filled with nothing but happiness and love.
He pulled me close to him and moved his lips oh-so slowly to my ear where he nipped on my earlobe. “How about we go and break in the truck?”
I pulled back just a little and gave him the sexiest smile I possibly could. “Let me go to the restroom first. I need to ditch my panties,” I whispered.
As I began walking away, I turned to see Scott standing there. His mouth was dropped open, and he was just frozen. I winked, and then I turned back around and went into the ladies’ room.
I quickly used the restroom, which seemed to be a normal thing now. I swore I had to pee every five minutes. I slipped off my panties, and as I was walking out the door, I dumped them into the trash. I giggled as I walked out. I felt so naughty, going without panties, and it was turning me on even more.
I looked around for Scott for a few seconds before realizing he had already left and gone out to the truck. As I walked out of the café, I looked over to a small car where a girl was leaning against it. There was a guy with his hands on the car…kissing the girl. The closer I got, I was able to make out the girl. I sucked in a breath of air when I noticed it was Chelsea and some guy.
I shook my head and made a beeline right toward the love of my life. As he helped me into the truck, he moved his hand up my leg, under my skirt, and over to my sensitive lips. I instinctively opened my legs to him as he brushed his fingers across me.
I threw my head back and whispered, “Oh, sweet Jesus.”
He let out a small laugh and then pulled my legs open more as he placed a finger inside me. He slowly moved it around and then pulled it out. Lifting my head, I watched him put the finger into his mouth and then slowly pull it out.
Holy shit. I’ve never in my life felt like I could have an orgasm without being touched. I couldn’t pull my eyes away from his lips.
“Fuck, you taste good,” he said.
“Oh god…I think I might have just had an orgasm,” I barely said.
He jumped up and kissed me, his tongue moving so beautifully with mine. We both let out a moan together.
He pulled back just a bit and said, “Trust me, baby, you’ll know when you’re having an orgasm because you won’t be able to stop calling out my name.”
“Scott…I need you. Right now.” I reached down and rubbed my hand on his hard dick.
He jumped down, shut the door, and headed to the driver’s side of the truck.
I hadn’t even been paying attention to where Scott was going. I just kept talking a mile a minute. The next thing I knew, we were in a field and in the backseat of his truck where he had taken me to heaven and back twice.
As we lay there, panting for air, I slowly moved my fingertips up and down his back. I smiled, knowing that I was happy again for the first time in weeks. Everything felt so right. It felt even better than before.
“So, did we break the truck in good?” he asked in a sleepy voice.
“Yes,” I said before kissing his shoulder.
“Good, ’cause my deep V-diver is exhausted.”
I let out a laugh and rolled my eyes. “Oh. My. God. Please…let’s just go back to calling it a penis, shall we?”
He laughed as he looked at me and reached over to kiss me. “I love you so much, Jessie.”
“How much do you love me?” I asked with a smile.
“I love you to the moon and back.”
I moved in and began running my tongue along his lips. I wanted him again, but I knew he was tired. I was exhausted myself, and I was so ready to get home.
“I think I’m ready to go home and just snuggle up. I can hardly keep my eyes open,” I said with a yawn.
“Well, we could always knock on the door of the owner of this place and ask to spend the night.”
Scott got up and started to get dressed as I looked around in the dark.
“Wait—where are we?” I asked.
Scott laughed. “Gunner’s place. Right behind your dad’s place.”
“Oh my god! Scott, you did not bring me to my dad’s place to have sex with me.”
He started to chuckle. “I sure as shit did. I’ve always wanted to make love to you right under your damn dad’s nose ever since I first laid eyes on you.”
“Why?” I asked, stunned.
Scott shrugged his shoulders. “I don’t know. The thrill of getting caught, maybe?”
I couldn
’t help it. I lost it and started laughing. Scott began laughing because I was laughing.
“What’s so funny?” he asked.
“What’s my dad gonna do? Ground us? I’m pregnant with your child, for Christ’s sake.”
“Hey…don’t blow this moment for me. Come on.”
He opened the back door and helped me get my dress on. Then, he helped me out and into the front seat of the truck. As he pulled the seat belt around me, he smiled at me. I smiled back, and he reached up and kissed me on the nose.
I put my hand on the side of his face and said, “Please take me home to our house.”
Scott smiled and said, “With pleasure.”
Heather was due to be home any minute, so I rushed around and lit all the candles. Mom and Dad had taken the twins for the night, giving Heather and me some much-needed time together.
I walked into the kitchen, and the smell of the lasagna caused me to stop and inhale. Damn, I love my mom’s lasagna.
I glanced up and looked out the back window. When I saw Heather walking up, I quickly lit the last two candles on the table and leaned up against the island. The door opened, and her beautiful face lit up like Christmas morning.
“Oh wow! What’s all this?” she asked with a giggle.
I ran my hand through my hair and gave her the smile I knew drove her crazy. “Well, Mom and Dad took the kids for the night, and before they left, Mom made lasagna for dinner.”
I watched as Heather looked around the room. I had put candles everywhere. The table was set with dishes, a salad I’d made with my dad, and a bottle of Heather’s favorite Shiraz wine, The Stump Jump.
She licked her lips and turned back to me as she raised her eyebrows. “The whole night? Alone with no kids?” she asked as her eyes lit up.
I felt my dick jump, and I quickly looked to see how much time the lasagna had left. I looked back at her and nodded. The next thing I knew, she slammed her body into mine and frantically began taking off my clothes. It wasn’t long before I joined in and had her down to her black lace bra and gray boy shorts with a black lace edge. I pushed her back and took in the sight of her beautiful body.
“Damn…sometimes, I still can’t believe you’re mine,” I whispered.
She smiled and took a step back as she reached behind her back and unclasped her bra before letting it fall to the floor. Then, she hooked her thumbs in her panties, slowly shimmied out of them, and kicked them off to the side.
“Heather,” I whispered.
She walked up to me and placed her hands on my bare chest. “I’ve always been yours.” She brushed her lips softly against mine.
“Oh god, baby.” I pulled her closer to me and deepened the kiss.
I moved my hand down her body and could feel her shudder in my arms. I lightly brushed my fingers over her and barely touched her clit when she let out a moan.
“Josh…I want you to make love to me all night, but right now…I really need you to just fuck me,” she whispered against my neck.
My heart slammed in my chest. Something about my sweet princess asking me to fuck her drove me out of my goddamn mind. I picked her up, and she wrapped her legs around me. Our kissing had turned so passionate that it was like we needed each other’s air to breathe.
I walked up to the kitchen table and set her down on it. I pulled my lips from hers and asked, “How much do you like these plates?”
She smiled. “I never did care for them too much.”
I quickly took the salad and wine and put them on the island.
“Oh wait! The wine glasses…those were from your parents!” Heather said as she let out a giggle.
I grabbed those and the salt and pepper shakers that Gunner and Ellie had bought for us. Then, in one movement, I knocked everything else off the table. The sound of the dishes hitting the floor and breaking did something to me. I grabbed Heather and pulled her closer to me as I slammed my dick into her as fast and hard as I could.
“Yes! Oh god, yes, Josh.”
I watched while I moved in and out of her, her breasts bouncing and turning me on even more, as she held on to the table.
“Ah…Heather,” was all I could get out as I tried to hold off.
“Faster…oh god, go harder, Josh…harder!” she called out.
The moment she snapped her head up and looked at me, I felt her tightening, and I almost lost it.
“Oh god…I’m gonna come…yes…Josh, yes!” she cried out.
Watching Heather have an orgasm and call out my name was the hottest fucking thing in the word. I couldn’t hold off any longer, and I let myself go as I called out her name. She threw her head back and repeated my name over and over again.
When I finally came to a stop, she looked into my eyes, her chest heaving up and down. I tried to steady my breathing as we both just got lost in each other’s eyes.
Then, the timer went off for the lasagna.
“Damn, I’m good,” I said.
Heather started laughing. She wrapped her legs around me tighter as I lifted her up and carried her over to the stove. I hit Off on the timer and turned the oven to warm. Then, I carried my princess upstairs and to our shower.
As the warm water ran over our bodies, I took a washcloth and slowly started to wash every surface of her body. I moved the washcloth over each breast, and when I kissed each cleaned nipple, she let out a moan.
“Josh,” she whispered.
“Put your leg up on the ledge, princess,” I said against her ear.
I moved my hand along the inside of her leg and slowly put two fingers inside her, then three, and then I began to move them in and out as I kissed one nipple and then the other.
“Jesus…” Heather said as she placed her hands on the walls of the shower.
I glanced up and saw she had her eyes closed. I quickly dropped to my knees and began kissing her clit. When I moved my tongue in and out of her, her hands were in my hair, grabbing and pushing me harder into her.
“Yes…oh god, yes!” she cried out in pleasure as she began to move her hips faster. “Josh…oh my god, that feels amazing…Josh!”
I smiled, listening to her say my name. She must have really needed these orgasms because I’d never heard her scream out so loud before. When she finally stopped moving her hips and calling out, I felt her body slowly starting to give out. I quickly stood up and grabbed on to her.
“My god.” She was panting for air. “That was…that was amazing.”
I smiled and pushed a stray piece of hair away from her face. “Did you need those, baby?”
She nodded her head. “More than you know.”
I turned the shower off and stepped outside, holding on to her hand the whole time. I dried her off first and wrapped a towel around her. Then, I quickly dried myself off before putting a towel around my waist. I picked her up and carried her over to the bed where I gently placed her down.
“What about dinner? I’m starving now,” she said with a giggle.
I smiled as I walked over to the dresser. I pulled out a pair of boxer shorts and slipped them on. “You just relax, princess. I’ll bring dinner up to you.”
She smiled, and I just about dropped to my knees.
“Really?”
I laughed and nodded my head. I turned to head back downstairs.
“Don’t forget the wine!” she called out.
After we ate and had two glasses of wine each, we lay there in silence as I held on to the love of my life.
“What happened today?” I finally asked.
She sucked in a long breath and slowly let it out. “Oh, Josh.” She sat up and pulled the sheet with her. She shook her head. “Jessie was confused because of this guy she’d met in Belize, and then Ari jumped all over her and got her even more upset.”
“Is that when y’all had to take Jessie to the hospital? You said it was just cramping and nothing was wrong, right?” I slipped my hand under the sheet and moved my fingers up and down her thigh.
“Yeah, it
was right after she got upset, but everything is fine. It breaks my heart because if she had only just stayed and not run away…”
I let out a breath and nodded my head. “I know, but I also know how much Scott loves her, and he’s not going to let anything come between them. I mean, look at how he beat the shit out of his brother. I know a lot of that was anger toward Chelsea, but damn. If Gunner and Jeff hadn’t pulled him off Bryce, I’d hate to see what would have happened.”
She gave me a weak smile. “Yeah. I just hope Jessie and Scott can work everything out with the baby coming and all. They love each other so much and…” Her eyes filled with tears.
“Baby, don’t worry. They’re gonna work it out. I know they will.”
Just then, Heather’s cell phone went off. I had brought our phones upstairs in case my mom and dad needed us for anything.
Heather grabbed her phone and looked at me. “It’s from Jessie.”
I glanced at the clock. It was almost ten. “This late?” I asked.
I watched Heather’s face light up as she read the text message. She turned to me and jumped up. Then, she leaned down and kissed the shit out of me.
“Gesh…read it again!” I said with a laugh.
“Oh, Josh! They worked everything out! Jessie said she would fill me in tomorrow, but she said everything is perfect. They are home, and Scott is snuggled up next to her, sleeping with his hand on her stomach!”
I had to laugh at how excited Heather was. I knew how much she cared about both Scott and Jessie, and she just wanted everyone to find the same kind of love and happiness we had found.
The look on her face turned, and she bit down on her lower lip. She placed her hands on my chest and gently pushed me onto my back. “Now, what’s this about making love to me all night long, Mr. Hayes?”
She leaned down and kissed me gently on the lips as she slowly sank down on me. The moment I filled her body, she let out the sexiest moan I’d ever heard. I rolled her over and slowly began to make love to her.
“Josh, I love you. I love you so much,” she whispered.
I watched a tear roll down her face. I used my thumb to wipe it away as I said, “I love you more times infinity.”
