Six Feet Under

by Paula O'Hara

  "I'll go get you an ice bag," I told him gently, looking away and turning around.

  "Look—" I heard him sigh just as I was about to leave my room as well, "Wills, I'm sorry."

  I stopped and turned to look back at him, "I don't want to come between you and Alex—"

  I just shook my head and left the room, wanting to get Hunter and ice pack for his jaw and then go to bed.

  I made my way down the stairs and into the kitchen. At the freezer, I took out two ice packs when I began feeling for slapping Alex. He could use one as well, I figured.

  With the two ice packs, I began making my way up the stairs again.

  Halfway up, I began hearing groans, curses and insults, the latter being thrown around by my brother's voice.

  I ran up the remaining steps and to the doorway of my room, only to find Alex and Hunter all over each other, throwing punches at each other at every possible turn.

  32

  I had kicked both men out of my room. Alex had locked himself in his room while Hunter had driven off. They had gotten a couple drops of blood onto my whiter carpet, because Hunter had punched Alex hard enough to draw blood.

  That night, Hunter had sent me a text apologising for his actions.

  I wasn't worth it, if it meant life-long best friends getting into a fight.

  I didn't want to come between Alex and Hunter even though I needed to make my idiotic brother understand that he couldn't control me.

  I hadn't replied to Hunter because honestly, I was too exhausted and fell right asleep, and also had been a little scared to have seen them fighting like that.

  The next day, Alex had left to school earlier than me so I hadn't seen him at all.

  I was talking to Tessa and Cameron by my locker, who were being annoyingly lovely dovey, once again. I was over Cameron, now that I had Hunter.

  My phone buzzed with a message.

  From: Hunter: Baby, where are you? Can we talk? I'm sorry for last night.

  I ignored the couple next to me and texted back, letting them flirt and tease each other all they wanted.

  To: Hunter: it's fine, thanks for standing up for me, I guess. have you talked to alex?

  From: Hunter: No, he's probably fucking candy right now. He's really fucking pissed at me, Wills.

  To: Hunter: he'll get over it, he has to.

  My eyes landed on Hunter, talking to Oliver's older brother and Carter.

  He glanced over at me and the sides of his lips tugged up into a small smirk, casually keeping up the conversation with his popular friends.

  To: Hunter: why the smirk? what are you thinking about?

  From: Hunter: you.

  From: Hunter: always.

  From: Hunter: sometimes naked.

  From: Hunter: sometimes not.

  From: Hunter: depends.

  His sudden spam of messages made my smile widen before I quickly glanced back up at him. My eyes met his through all the people walking past between us.

  His face didn't look that bad after his and Alex's fight. He just had a dark bruise on the side of his jaw and a small cut on his left brow.

  There was also a little bruising on his right upper cheek, but it would surely heal in no time.

  Not having seen Alex today, I had no idea what his face looked like.

  To: Hunter: you're cute

  From: Hunter: Why don't we skip today and go have fun at mine?

  To: Hunter: OMG, really?!

  From: Hunter: Yes (:

  To: Hunter: okay, I can bring a 64 pack of crayons! you have colouring books, right?

  I was joking of course and didn't miss the discreet chuckle that left his lips.

  From the corner of my eye, I definitely saw Carter ask him about what had been so amusing.

  My smile faded though, when I swear I was able to read 'my girlfriend' from Hunter's lips before he nodded in my direction.

  All three guys then looked at me, while Hunter just grinned.

  Carter and Oliver's older brother both gave me a small nod and smile, knowing I was Alex's little sister.

  I managed to return their smiles before looking away.

  Once I was sure they weren't looking at me anymore, I texted Hunter again.

  To: Hunter: did you just tell them that I'm your girlfriend?

  From: Hunter: Yeah, it's okay, right?x

  To: Hunter: well I guess since Alex now knows...

  From: Hunter: The more people know about us being together, the harder it'll be for us to break up;)

  To: Hunter: totally makes sense.

  I found myself smiling stupidly down at my phone. The thought of skipping today with him was a fantastic idea.

  I hated Mondays and besides, him and I still hadn't finished what we had started yesterday before Alex caught us. I seriously needed a good fuck after everything.

  To: Hunter: i'll meet you at your car in ten minutes?x

  From: Hunter: Sure babe ;)

  "How are you going to explain those bruises when we leave for Thailand?" I questioned as we stepped inside his dark house.

  Our families were leaving in less than a week for the holiday after Hunter and Alex would have their graduation ceremony on Friday.

  "Aliens?" He closed the front door behind us and turned on the lights.

  His voice held a hint of amusement, making me grin as I turned around to face him.

  "Aliens sounds logical," I agreed jokingly with a nod while he began taking slow steps towards me, his eyes incredibly intense.

  My body was heating up the closer he got, and honestly I just wanted to rip all my clothes off here and have him–

  "Oh! Hey, you two!" I was startled to say the least, when a familiar voice came from behind me.

  Hunter hadn't seemed to have been expecting this either, as we now both turned to face the kitchen where his mum was standing.

  "Hey," Hunter cleared his throat as she gave us both a wide smile. "Aren't you supposed to be at work?"

  I could tell by his voice that he was a little disappointed about how this had played out. I guess we were both a little sexually frustrated.

  "Aren't you two supposed to be at school?" She countered with raised brows and a teasing side smile, slowly taking steps towards us.

  Bree was wearing jeans and a tee shirt, definitely not how she usually dressed for work.

  "Uh-" Hunter let out an awkward chuckle.

  I could basically feel his body heat behind me, and it was killing me.

  "I take it Alex now knows," her eyes then settled on her son's face, spotting the bruises.

  "Lucky guess," Hunter muttered, obviously still annoyed - almost as much as I was - that Alex had to take such an interest in my life. But I still did sort of get it, if Alex started dating Tessa, I would be totally weirded out.

  "I'm taking a day off today," Bree then told us, her eyes finding mine as a warm smile formed onto her lips, "I need to get the packing started for Thailand today."

  I most likely wasn't packing until Thursday, so I had to give her props for being well-organised.

  "You two are going back to school, aren't you?" She then raised her brows at us, not playing around anymore.

  I heard Hunter sigh behind me, before gently taking my wrist in his grasp. "Yeah, mum. We'll see you later, bye."

  "Bye kids," she shot us a wink which I returned in the form of a smile.

  With that, I found myself being led out of their house by Hunter.

  Once the front door closed behind us and I realised we were walking back towards his car, I spoke up, "are we going back to school?"

  "No, but we can't stay here. Your house is empty, right?" He asked, letting my wrist go as he unlocked his car again.

  "Should be? I don't understand why your mum doesn't let you skip a day," my brows furrowed as he opened the passenger's seat door for me.

  "It's your last few days of high school, Bree could cut you some slack," I reasoned, shrugging.

  "It's not that sh
e won't let me skip, Wills. She doesn't want you skipping. You're like a daughter to her, or some shit," he told me with a small laugh, "it's better if we go to yours."

  "Do you think we can sleep in the same room in Thailand?" I asked, leaning my back against the closed car door while he slowly drove towards my house. I was playing with the string of my hoodie, concentrating on it.

  "We can try," he shrugged, not minding that I had my legs thrown over his, "I think Alex would be the only one with a problem with it."

  I almost let out a laugh. If he would still be mad at us in Thailand, I would beat his ass, mostly because I did love him and didn't want our relations to be completely ruined just because of my relationship with his best friend.

  "Willow..." The hesitation in his voice forced me to look up.

  My eyes landed on my house which we were nearing. My brows furrowed at the sight of my dad's car in the driveway and lights on in the living room.

  "You've got to be kidding me," I groaned, the sexual frustration growing inside me by the minute.

  "Drive past it, my dad would murder me if he found out I had skipped school."

  Even if it was the last week before the summer holiday.

  Hunter drove last my house, in which I could clearly see my dad in the living room through the window.

  "Maybe we should just go back to school? We're gonna get caught either way since Prez got fired and can't vouch for us."

  "No," I told him firmly which made him glance at me. I leaned closer to his SatNav and typed in an address. "Drive."

  ——

  "I swear, if you're going to murder me..." Hunter joked as we drove down an extremely secluded and abandoned side road by a thick forest.

  I knew for a fact that nobody ever came here since it was a dead end. I giggled, shaking my head at him.

  "Stop here," I told him.

  Hunter parked the car in the middle of the small gravel road while I unbuckled my seatbelt and pulled my legs back from his lap.

  He watched me curiously when I removed my shoes and then turned back to look at him.

  I didn't even have to tell him what to do, since understanding flashed in his eyes and a smirk formed onto his lips.

  "God, you're bad."

  I grinned, shrugging as he also unbuckled his seatbelt and pushed his seat back a little.

  Swiftly, I was able to climd across to straddle his lap.

  With my back leaning against the steering wheel, Hunter's hands landed on my hips, toying with the hem of my hoodie, ready to rid it.

  His eyes looked extremely hungry and intense, turning me on even more and almost resulting in me being a hot and quivering mess on his lap.

  "Car sex is definitely not my go-to, but–" I shut him up by quickly lifting my hoodie over my head and throwing it onto the passenger's seat.

  I smirked at his weak attempt to keep his eyes on mine when my bra covered breasts came into view.

  "Are you really going to just stare?" I asked him teasingly, which made Hunter's eyes raise back up to mine with a grin.

  "Actually, I-" I cut him off again by pressing my lips against his.

  I don't know why I was feeling like this, but I felt very dominant right now.

  "Hush, puppy," I spoke quietly, my lips still against his and my eyes closed. I brought my hands down between us to lift his shirt over his head.

  "I'm in control now."

  I pulled back to remove my leggings, unable to miss his brows rising and the sides of his lips tugging up in pleasant surprise.

  "Fuck yes," he murmured when I managed to slide out of my leggings and panties at the same time, leaving me completely naked, besides my bra of course, and still straddling him.

  "Damn, you're really not playing," he chuckled lowly, unbuckling his belt while his eyes ran along my body.

  "I'm really horny, Hunter," I told him honestly, which made him let out a laugh as his eyes met mine again.

  They shone with adoration and amusement, making me even hotter when I quickly unclasped my bra and threw it away.

  "I feel like you're always horny, babe."

  I playfully rolled my eyes at him, raising myself up a bit so that he was able to pull his jeans and boxers down enough for his member to be free for me to use.

  Once I saw him hardening, I raised my left brow at him with a smirk. "And you aren't?"

  Hunter shrugged with a grin, "any guy with a working dick would go wild with a hot girl sitting naked-"

  I silenced him yet again with my lips on his and hands cupping his cheeks, careful not to press too hard the dark bruise on his jaw.

  I felt him smiling into the kiss while my back arched for our bare fronts to meet.

  His hands slid to my lower back, holding me firmly against him while he deepened the kiss.

  I felt his member hardening between us, turning me on to a point where I couldn't think straight anymore. I was so crazy about this guy.

  I ground myself against him, which resulted in a low groan emitting and rumbling from his throat into our kiss.

  "Hurry, baby," I whispered, pulling back a bit to be able to rest my forehead against his, feeling out of breath from just that simple kiss.

  My heart was beating so fast, it scared me. My feelings scared me.

  "We don't wanna get caught, do we?"

  He gave me a small smile, shaking his head. I knew we wouldn't get caught, but thinking that there was a possibility added to the excitement.

  Gently, I took his member into my hands and lifted my hips up. He kissed my bare chest which was now right in front of his face.

  "No foreplay?" He raised his brows at me, one hand travelling down between my legs.

  I shook my head when he pushed a finger inside me and smirked, "oh, I guess you don't even need it."

  I gently nudged him, rolling my eyes with a smile.

  "Shush," I managed before I sank down onto him after his finger had left me.

  My lips parted as Hunter's eyes concentrated on my face. I gripped his shoulders, feeling so full as I took my time sinking down onto him.

  "Oh-" I squeaked, now fully seated on him. God, sex got better with him every time.

  Hunter's hands were on my hips and his body was slumped a bit; enabling me to move better and have him deeper inside me.

  "Try not to pass out this time, hm?" He teased, but I was already in too much pleasure to care.

  I let my head fall back as I began a slow and steady pace of up and down, his hands guiding me and keeping up the rhythm.

  "Fuck," I heard him murmur before his lips latched onto my nipple and I let out a moan.

  This felt way too good. Not even a minute passed when I hit my first orgasm, leaving me a complete and utter whimpering mess on top of him.

  My walls tightened around him which made him let out a pleasured groan while my face was buried in the crook of his neck.

  "You still in control, baby?" I heard his raspy chuckle by my ear, sending a tingle down my spine while his hands kept moving my hips up and down on him.

  "Yeah, no," I breathed, letting my eyes close, "I give up."

  I felt his lips on the side of my face, leaving a small kiss there with a smile on his lips.

  "Yellow?" He asked, slowing down almost to a stop. I immediately shook my head, mumbling out a faint, "green."

  I found my hips increasing speed, one part by me and the other by his hands. I listened to his deep and low groans that left his lips every now and then, my walls still tighter than usual around him.

  Gently, I bit his shoulder, whining a bit when the pleasure started building up again. God, I had missed this.

  Not even noticing it, I ran my fingers up and down his torso, leaving small scratches with my nails.

  "Wills, I'm close," Hunter breathed, managing to turn me on even more. He thrusted up a few times, making me gasp as another orgasm rolled through me.

  "Holy-" I whispered, eyes fluttering closed while I leaned back against the steering
wheel again. I felt my back arch as his hands raised up to my waist.
