“Kyle…” I moan and arch my back, thrusting my chest further towards him as his hand loses its gentle caress.
“Fuck Soph, I want you so bad it hurts.”
Then that night in Vegas slams into me like a brick wall with vivid detail and I’m disgusted.
“Kyle stop.”
But he keeps kissing me and massaging my chest. My hands come up between us and I give him a hard shove making him take a few steps away from me.
Without him next to me I’m able to think a little more clearly. What the hell am I doing? This is a huge mistake. I jump down from the dryer and head for the door but Kyle catches my forearm. I stop and look at the ground as traitorous tears form in my eyes.
“Sophie, babe… what’s the matter?”
I whirl on him and let him have it. “Everything, everything’s wrong! My son’s safety is compromised, I got you arrested earlier and I almost just made the biggest mistake right now.”
“That wasn’t a mistake.” He growls.
“Yes, it was. I keep hearing it over and over in my head. It’s not something I’ll ever be able to get past!”
“Hear what?” He looks confused so I decide to put him out of his misery.
“You, the women… when you just said you wanted me so bad it hurts…”
He stares at me trying to figure out what I’m about to say and I’m not sure I have it in me to say anything else.
“You know what, never mind. I’m gonna grab Gabe and head home. I’ll talk to you when I’ve calmed down.”
“I don’t know what I have to do to make you understand I’m here now. For Gabe and for you. I’m not going anywhere!”
“Yeah, NOW! But what happens when your fight comes up? It’s been me and Gabe for five years Kyle.”
“Are you saying you don’t want me in my son’s life?” He looks hurt and that’s the last thing I wanted to happen.
“Yes… no. No. This is just really hard for me and I’m trying to keep his best interest in mind.”
“Tell me what I said that night. We can’t get past it if we don’t communicate. If it’s bothering you enough to pop into your head when we’re kissing you need to be honest with me.”
“I told you about wanting to drag me towards the bed. You kept making little remarks and making the girls do stuff to each other to entice me. Then as a last-ditch effort I had to watch a girl suck your dick as you came in her mouth. I don’t know why I watched and didn’t just run out of the room. I think deep down I knew I had to stay there. It would give me something to feel that was stronger than the love I had in my heart for you.”
He staggers back like I’ve punched him but my hands haven’t moved an inch.
“You love me?”
“Loved. I told you already, we had our chance and I’m not going there again.”
“That’s where you’re wrong babe.” Kyle invades my space again. “We aren’t over and that kiss proved it. I’ll give you time to get used to this but I’m not the same Kyle I was all those years ago. I’ve learned in life you need to take what you want and fight for it. And Sophie… you will be mine again.” He places a chaste kiss to my lips before pulling back leaving me panting and so utterly confused I don’t know which end is up.
“We’ll start with this friend bullshit and I’ll prove myself to you. Are you with me?”
I nod my head.
“Good. There’s a lot more we need to talk about but that can happen another time.”
I nod again.
“You aren’t going to like this but you and Gabe are going to have to stay here until the security detail gets into town which should be first thing tomorrow morning.”
“No way! Gabe doesn’t have anything here, I don’t have anything here!”
“Shit, you’re right. Okay, I’ll pack a bag and stay at your place. You’re far enough off the road that the paparazzi shouldn’t be able to see anything if we have all the blinds closed.”
“Do I have any other option?” I whine.
“Not when it comes to your safety, yours and Gabe’s.”
“Fine, I can do anything for him.”
“Geez, don’t act like me staying over’s like getting a root canal.” He laughs.
“Root canals aren’t that bad.” I shrug my shoulders causing Kyle to laugh, a deep one from his gut.
“I missed that.” I whisper.
“What?”
“Your laugh. Believe it or not, I’ve missed you so much over the years Kyle. I’m glad you’re back in my life.”
“And you’ll never get rid of me again.” He pulls me towards him and places a kiss on my forehead. “It’s you and me against the world.”
“See, you’re still the same old sappy Kyle Cage I know.”
“Only for you.”
CHAPTER 12
Kyle
Later that night I’m tossing and turning on Sophie’s little couch. I’m a tall guy standing erect at 6’2” and this love seat just isn’t hacking it. Without thinking, I get up and march my tired ass to Sophie’s bedroom determined to get a little shut eye tonight.
When I pull the covers back and join her she startles awake and I whisper to calm her down and let her know it’s me.
“What the hell are you doing in here?”
“I can’t sleep on the couch. Don’t worry. We used to sleep in the same bed all the time.”
“That was when we didn’t share a son and you didn’t…”
“I didn’t what?”
Her breathing picks up and now I really want to know what she’s thinking about. I begin to rub her back, which I can feel is completely naked.
Fuck! I just jumped into bed with a nude Sophie. Willpower, don’t fail me now.
“Tell me what you’re thinking Sophie.” I growl.
“About that kiss earlier… in the laundry room.”
I wish that she could have said a million other things. The weather, Gabe, the fucking annexation of Puerto Rico. No, she has to bring up a memory that’s had my dick hard for hours. My hands start to rub her lower back, then her sides. It’s like I can’t stop my hands from moving. Then they’re massaging her ass and she shoots up and straddles me in a second flat. Her mouth crashes down to mine and I can’t get enough. Can’t get her close enough.
“Fuck baby…” She’s grinding her pussy on my barely hidden erection and I nearly shoot my load in my boxer briefs.
“Kyle, I need this. I need it so fucking bad.” She moans and my hands start to explore her body. They work down to her tits where I start to pinch her hardening nipples. I love this. Sophie’s always been so responsive to me in bed.
Her hands start pushing my underwear down my body as she plants open mouthed kisses all over my chest. When she pulls one of my nipples in her mouth my cock jumps.
“I need you…” She moans again and is lining my cock up with her slick lips. A few swipes through, my dicks drenched and ready to dive head first into her pussy that’s begging for me.
She slides the head in and is about to slide her pussy all the way down when I realize we didn’t use protection. I quickly move her off of me, run to the living room where my bag is and grab a condom. I knew it’d be a long shot but I’m glad I made the right call.
I throw that bad boy on as I’m marching down the hall like a fucking warrior. When I enter the room, she’s lying in bed with the sheet pulled up to her chest and I rip it from her body like a man possessed and crawl up the bed. Her body is every man’s fantasy, it’s a body I’ve dreamt about for years and it’s even better than I remember. My mouth latches onto one of her perfect tits when I slide my cock into her tight pussy.
“Damn, you’re so fucking tight… so perfect.” I get a couple thrusts in when she starts to pant.
“I thought you changed your mind.” I can hear the insecurity in her voice.
“Fuck no! I forgot a condom and didn’t want to make the same mistake twice.”
Sophie goes still and I realize my mistake too late. H
ow the fuck could I be so stupid to say that to her.
“Get the fuck off me!” She shouts and shoves me so hard I fall to the side.
“No, Sophie. I didn’t mean it!”
“Then why the hell did you say it!” She finally realizes she’s yelling and lowers her voice. “Get out of my room.” The tone is deathly and I can’t believe the hatred that’s laced in her words.
“Not until we talk about it.”
“Fine.” She throws on a robe and leaves the room.
Well, I didn’t think that through now did I? I sigh and rub my hands down my face and will my erection that didn’t get the memo that tonight’s a bust to go the hell away. How could I be so careless with my words? I don’t think Gabe’s a mistake. He’s a huge ray of sunshine I never knew I needed in my dark world and now Sophie thinks I regret him.
I get out of bed and go in search for my girl. That’s right, she’s mine now. I was just balls deep inside her and no matter what she thinks there’s no going back.
After looking in the living room, I open Gabe’s door and see her lying in bed with him. Her arm protectively draped across him. Protecting him from me. For a few minutes I watch them sleep. I don’t know what I’d do without them, I need to make this right.
Making the decision, I jump in bed on the other side of Gabe and throw my arm on top of Soph’s. I close my eyes and after a minute I hear a little sniffle. When I open my eyes, I see a tear slide down Sophie’s cheek.
She’s pretending to sleep.
“Soph.” I whisper and lift my hand to caress the side of her face. Her eyes open upon contact and the look in her eyes guts me.
“Baby… I didn’t mean it. Gabe is everything I could ever want in a son, I’d never think he was a mistake.”
“I know…” She whispers back. “It’s just. I’m waiting for the other shoe to fall. Why would you want to be with us when you could be living it up in Vegas? Why do you want to be weighed down? You’re 24 and single.”
“I’m not fucking single.” I growl causing Gabe to stir. Taking a deep breath, I control my emotions so I can get my point across without sounding angry. “You’re my girl whether it takes you a month or a year to admit. I don’t want anyone else, it’s always been you.”
Her eyes close and a small smile comes to her lips. “I need time. It’s too easy to fall back into the same routine. You need to earn my trust back and it’s just been too fast.”
“I understand but Soph… you need to realize I’m not going anywhere.”
“Okay… just give me time.”
She falls asleep as I gently rub my hand up and down her arm. I will get her trust back if it’s the last thing I do. Nothing will rip my boy and Sophie from me and it’s time I let that be known.
CHAPTER 13
Kyle
“Whoa, whoa, whoa. Who the hell said anything about an interview?”
“It’s what the people want Ky, plus they’re ready to pay a mint for it.”
I check the clock and see the time is later than I’d thought. “We’ll finish this conversation later. I told Sophie I’d pick Gabe up from camp today.”
“This is important!” Preston yells in outrage.
I don’t give him an answer. He’s pissed me off more lately than he has the entire time I’ve known him. I’ve never realized how selfish he is when it comes to money and something interfering with my career. I’m going to have to think things over and where I’m taking my career from here. It’s making me wonder how big of an asshole I’ve been lately to not see it.
When I pull up to the school I sigh in relief that no one’s gotten out of their cars yet. I can’t be late with my first pick-up by myself. It’s been three weeks since the jail fiasco and this is the first time she’s asked me to do it by myself. I’ve jumped in with her here and there on a few days so I know what I’m doing.
As I usually do, I exit the car and scope out the area. Our saving grace was having the school in a secluded area up on a hill. Only one way in making it easy to monitor and keep the photographers out. It also helps that it’s a small summer camp and not actually school in session.
While Gabe’s at camp I have a police officer on my payroll checking who’s coming up the school driveway. I’ve received some mean mugs from the other parents at the inconvenience but I’m not stopping it. Gabe’s safety is my top priority.
We’ve been able to stay out of the tabloids so far. It’s been no small feat. It’s also hard to keep a low profile when you have hulking bodyguards always a few steps behind you. I turn around and nod at Duncan in acknowledgement but he doesn’t notice because he’s scanning the parking lot like I am.
The lady that runs the camp brings the kids to the door and starts letting them go to their parents. As usual when its Gabe’s turn, she eye fucks me before letting my boy leave the building.
“Daddy!” He runs into my arms as I pick him up and head back for the SUV.
“What’s up bud! Do anything fun at camp?”
“Yeah! But Bo-wiener showed up and read us Pete the Cat. He’s lame.”
“I bet he’s great, you just have to give him a chance.”
Gabe levels me with a glare causing me to laugh. He is his mother through and through.
“No Dad, you just don’t understand. Pete’s a stupid cat. Who wants to read stupid books when we can play outside?”
“I can’t argue there. Wanna go surprise Mom at the Inn?”
“YES!”
I strap him in his seat and plant my ass next to him. There’s certain perks that come with having bodyguards and one is not having to drive. Once we get to the old Victorian house, I once again look around before exiting the car. This place isn’t as easy to hide from the public eye but the paps haven’t seemed to link it to us yet.
“Mommy! Uncle Harley!” Gabe yells once we walk through the door and I come to a halt when I see Sophie in the arms of another man. What the fuck?
“Hey baby, how was school?” She bends down to hug him then plants a kiss on top of his head then on his casted arm.
Gabe sighs then runs into the other room after giving this sketchy character a high five.
“That good huh?” She laughs while looking over at me. “Oh shit, sorry. Kyle this is Harley, Harley this is Kyle.”
“Nice to meet you man, I’ve seen all your fights while Sophie screams at the TV.” He chuckles making me once again say, what the fuck?
I make sure to make my hand shake extra firm and I need to school my expression so I don’t laugh in this guy’s face. “Nice to meet you too.” I’m about to ask him who the hell he is to her when he says he’s late and needs to leave. But wait, not before giving Sophie a peck on the lips and promising to see her later that night.
“You’re seeing that clown tonight?”
She rolls her eyes and ignores my comment. “I was wondering if you wouldn’t mind watching Gabe for a bit tonight? I’m going out with Harley. I know it’s short notice but if you can’t I’ll ask my Mom. He’s only in town tonight.”
“You have a booty call?” I growl.
She gets a twinkle in her eye. “What if I do?”
“One second…” I walk away. “Don’t fucking move.” I point at her then head in the direction Gabe went and find him with Sophie’s Mom. “Hey Anne, are you good with him for a second? Sophie’s going to give me a tour of this place.”
Once she nods her head with a knowing smile on her lips, I turn with determination and nothing left to deter me from my mission. I walk back into the room with a little swagger in my step and a little shriek leaves Sophie’s mouth when I pick her up and throw her over my shoulder.
“Kyle, put me down!”
My hand grips her ass as my fingers dig into the flesh. I quickly look around not sure of where to take her but run up the stairs with her screaming and go into the last door on the right. Having only been here a couple times I’m still not familiar with the layout.
“Thank fuck.” It’s luckily o
ne of the few rooms that isn’t in complete shambles. There’s only a ladder standing in the middle of the room and the door has a lock which I engage immediately.
I walk to the other side of the room and slowly let her on her feet but leave little room between her body and the wall.
“Time’s up baby.” I slam my mouth to hers as I thread my fingers through her hair. When I slightly tug a moan escapes her mouth.
“You want this as bad as I do, don’t you?”
I move my mouth to her neck. Licking, biting, sucking her sweet skin and can’t help myself from marking her. She claws at my back but shows no signs of running away when I pull her delicate skin between my teeth.
“Kyle, we have to stop.” She breathes out and I pull back to look at her.
“Is that what you really want?” I stare at her for a second before she jumps into my arms and devours my mouth. Her back hits the wall once again when I slam her against it.
Her legs lock around my waist when I move my arms from holding her thighs to peeling her shirt off her body. Seeing her bare breasts is too much temptation and I suckle one of her pert nipples into my mouth and revel in the moan she can’t hold back.
“Christ, I’m ready to come from that alone.”
“You don’t come unless it’s on my cock.” She looks down at me with lazy eyes as I finish stripping her from her clothes. When she’s completely naked I take a step back to appreciate her curves. Curves that are now more developed since she had Gabe. Breasts just more than a handful and hips that I’ll be able to grab hold of when I’m fucking her.
She walks towards me and quickly throws my shirt over my head. Then I want to weep when she drops to her knees making quick work of my belt and jeans before sliding them down my legs. I’m all too ready to haul her to her feet and fuck her right here, right now. I really was, until she gripped my dick and pulled it into her mouth. Into the sweet cavern of her mouth and when she adds her tongue along the underside, I nearly collapse to the ground.
