Reckless Love

by Kelly Elliott

  “You threw up?”

  His hand went to my forehead, followed by his cheek.

  “It’s just something I ate, I think.”

  “A king-size Snickers bar on top of a pint of chocolate ice cream.”

  “Lynn!” I cried out, giving her a dirty look.

  “Trevor, she might need to lay low today. She said she was dizzy.”

  My mouth dropped open as I stared at the woman who used to be my one and only best friend during high school and college. I was going to give Chloe Parker that new title.

  “Come on, let’s get you some water. There are some hammocks around the trees, away from everyone. We can go rest there.”

  “Trevor, I don’t need to rest.”

  He led us over to a row of coolers. He opened the first one and reached in, grabbing two bottles of water. Then he started walking off, away from the party.

  When we rounded the corner, I saw about four hammocks spread out in the trees.

  “How did you know these were here?” I asked as we made our way to the one farthest away.

  “James had a lot of parties in high school. I would come back here and lay in these when I wanted to get away, which was often.”

  “Really? I sort of pictured you as a party guy.”

  Trevor laughed. “Don’t get me wrong, I liked to party, but sometimes I wasn’t in the mood.”

  “Speaking of high school, what in the world are you wearing?”

  Trevor stopped walking and looked down.

  “What? This was my party outfit in high school. Black T-shirt and ripped jeans.”

  I let my eyes roam over his perfect body. “Trevor, it looks like you have patches on your jeans. And not just plain patches, striped ones. And you’re in sneakers. I don’t think I’ve ever seen you in sneakers.”

  He laughed. “I was in the mood for a change. Plus, that asshole James said to dress like high school. Dick.”

  “I’d say.”

  As we started walking, I felt that familiar feeling in my mouth. The one where saliva builds right before you get sick.

  “Um, Trevor? I think I may throw up again.”

  Before Trevor could react, I turned and threw up. I was surprised I still had anything left in my stomach and the force with which I threw up scared me.

  Trevor held my hair back and rubbed my back while I leaned over. It instantly made the nausea ease up.

  “Oh God, can you come do that every morning cause you’re making it go away.”

  “I’d be more than happy to.”

  After a few minutes, it passed, and I stood up.

  “Shit, you got it all over…hold on.”

  Trevor pulled off his T-shirt and opened the bottle of water, pouring some of it onto the shirt. He then wiped around my mouth and chin.

  I closed my eyes and groaned. “Did I have throw up on my face?”

  “Yep!” he said with a slight chuckle.

  “How embarrassing,” I stated, taking a drink of water and rinsing out my mouth.

  “Nonsense. The woman carrying my baby couldn’t possibly do anything that would embarrass her. Come on, babe, let’s lie down.”

  I wasn’t going to argue. For one, I still sort of felt like crap. I was suddenly hit with a heavy feeling of tiredness, and Trevor was shirtless and wanting me to lie next to him in a hammock. Not to mention he had just called me babe. I loved when he called me baby or babe.

  Loved. It.

  Trevor laid down on the hammock then pulled me onto it. I kicked off my flip flops and snuggled up against him.

  “Wow, this hammock is big,” I said, throwing my leg over his and letting him pull me up against him. His arm was wrapped around me in such a protective way. His other hand held onto my arm, almost as if he was afraid I’d get up and leave. I breathed in his scent.

  “You smell so good.”

  His unshaven face scraped against mine, relaxing me even more.

  The feel of his bare skin on mine was amazing. This whole thing felt amazing.

  It felt right.

  I could feel myself slowly drifting off.

  I decided to start pulling the wall down.

  “Trevor?” I whispered.

  “Yes?”

  “I haven’t been purposely avoiding you. Well, maybe I have because my emotions have been all over the place.”

  He held me tighter and whispered, “It’s okay, baby.”

  My heartbeat picked up a bit more. Here we go, time to knock the wall down.

  “I want more.”

  His body flexed under me.

  “More?”

  Nodding, I said, “Mmm-hmm. I need you in my life, and I need you to be more than the baby’s father.”

  He kissed my forehead. “Nothing would make me happier. I love you, Scarlett.”

  With a smile, I replied, “I love you, too.”

  “New beginnings, right?” he spoke against my lips.

  “Yes, new beginnings. Will you promise me something, though?”

  “Anything.”

  “Don’t wear those jeans ever again, okay?”

  My body shook as he laughed. Kissing me once more, he answered. “It’s a deal.”

  Scarlett fell asleep lying next to me in the hammock. I didn’t make a sound, but inside I was doing a fucking Irish Jig. She had no clue how happy she had just made me. When she finally started to stir, I woke her all the way up.

  “Hey, you feel better?”

  Those beautiful eyes locked on mine. “I do, but I know something that will make me feel even better?”

  I raised a brow. “Another Snickers?”

  She laughed, but then started to run her fingers over my bare chest. My entire body felt like it was on fire from her touch.

  Her smile faded to a sexier-than-hell smirk. “I was thinking more along the lines of you and me back at my house.”

  My heart dropped to the bottom of my stomach.

  “Are you sure?”

  Closing her eyes, she took in a deep breath then blew it out just as slow. Her warm breath on my bare skin nearly had me taking her right there.

  “I’m so very sure, Trevor. I want you, desperately, and I’m tired of denying myself.”

  That was all I needed to hear. I got up and quickly walked around the hammock. Grabbing her flip flops, I picked her up in my arms, causing her to let out a small yelp.

  “Trevor! What are you doing! I can walk.”

  “I can walk to my truck faster.”

  Her arms wrapped tighter around my neck.

  “Scarlett, are you sure about this? I don’t want to rush you.”

  She gave me the sweetest grin. “Trevor, I love you and you’ve been so patient. I know I’ve been acting stupid and…”

  “No, you haven’t.”

  With a nod, she replied, “I have. The last few weeks you have been amazing and so patient, but I can’t take it any longer. I need you inside of me, and I really, really need to come. This pregnancy is making me want it all the time. Between that and the morning sickness, it’s been torture.”

  “Jesus Christ,” I mumbled, nearly tripping and dropping her.

  By the time we got back to my truck, my cock was hard and begging for me to let him out of these fucking jeans.

  “My place is closer,” I said, starting my truck.

  She gave me a shy smile and nodded.

  It took everything I had to drive the speed limit. We hadn’t even told anyone we were leaving, but we’d been away from the party in that hammock for about an hour while Scarlett napped, so I doubted anyone would have even have missed us.

  Pulling into the driveway, I pushed the button for the automatic gate. Scarlett’s knee bounced up and down while we watched the gate slowly swing open. Once it was open, I floored it and took off down the driveway. I headed down the gravel road that went around the main house. I lived in the foreman’s house, but I had since claimed it as mine and had started to remodel it slowly.

  When I finally got to the turn
that led to my place, I hit the gas a little more. The road was fairly flat, so I knew it wouldn’t be too rough for Scarlett.

  “Trevor,” she whispered when she saw the house.

  “I know, baby. I feel the same way.”

  Throwing my truck into park, I ripped the keys out. Scarlett wasn’t about to wait for me, she jumped out of the truck and raced up the steps. The door to my place wasn’t locked, and we burst through it. I kicked it shut with my foot, my mouth on hers. The kiss was hot and passionate. This wasn’t the time for sweet and romantic, even though I had envisioned something like that for our first time back together.

  Scarlett’s hands were frantically trying to undo my jeans as I kicked off my sneakers.

  “I’m so horny. God, I’ve been so horny,” she whispered against my lips.

  I growled into her mouth. “From now on, when you want to come it’s only me who makes you come. It doesn’t matter the time or day, you tell me.”

  She nodded as she dropped to her knees, pulling my jeans with her. When my cock sprang free, she looked up at me and grinned.

  “I really like it when you don’t wear underwear.”

  “I’ll remember that.”

  Her hand wrapped around my cock, and I knew she was about to put it into her mouth. I couldn’t let her do that.

  “No. If you put me in your mouth I’m going to come faster than you can even get me down your throat. Plus, this isn’t about me, baby. It’s about you.”

  She sucked in a breath as I pulled her up and quickly got her undressed. Soon she was standing before me naked.

  “Sit down on the table, Scarlett.”

  “The table?”

  “Yes.”

  “But I’m not wearing any clothes.”

  I pointed to the table. “Sit. Now.”

  She quickly did what I said. Dropping to the floor, I pulled her legs up and over my shoulders.

  “Jesus, Trevor.” Her cheeks were a beautiful pink. Her chest rose quickly with anticipation.

  “Fucking hell. I can smell how turned on you are, baby.”

  Her hands went to my hair and she tugged. Her silent way of begging me to fuck her pussy with my mouth.

  I slowly licked through her soft folds, groaning while I did it.

  Scarlett moaned and pulled me closer to her.

  “Please. Oh, Trevor.”

  My girl wasn’t going to have to beg me. I buried my face into her and licked and sucked until she started screaming my name.

  “Yes! Trevor! Trevor! Oh God, I’m coming.”

  When her body finally settled, I kissed her stomach then slowly made my way to her mouth. She didn’t stop me when I went to kiss her. She wrapped her arms around me and moaned when she tasted herself on my tongue.

  “I need to be inside of you, baby. Now.”

  She nodded. I pulled her up from the table and picked her up into my arms. My house was a one-story, with my bedroom to the right of the living room.

  Gently lying her on the bed, I pulled open the side table and grabbed a condom. Scarlett sat up and reached for my arm. When I looked at her, she was smiling.

  “Trevor, that horse has already left the barn. I’m pregnant already, I think you can save the condom.”

  Glancing at the square package in my hand, I laughed and threw it back into the drawer. Crawling onto the bed, I settled my body over Scarlett’s, careful not to put too much weight on her.

  “Fuck. I’m apologizing to you right now, before we even get started, because I’m going to come embarrassingly fast.”

  Her index finger traced along my jaw line.

  “I’m sorry for making you wait so long.”

  I rubbed my nose against hers then kissed her forehead and replied, “I’d wait forever for you.”

  A tear slipped from her eye and trailed down her cheek. Leaning in, I kissed it.

  “Happy?”

  Closing her eyes, she nodded. “So very happy.”

  When I pushed slowly into her, we both moaned.

  “Damn it, Scarlett. You feel like heaven.”

  Her arms and legs wrapped around my body as I kissed her softly. Our tongues intertwined in a dance while I moved slowly in and out of her body.

  I’d never felt anything so good in my life. I could tell she had another orgasm building, and I knew the moment she came around my bare cock, I would come too.

  Breaking our kiss, I looked into her eyes and slowed to a stop. I was buried deep inside of her, our breaths coming fast and hard, even though I was making love to her as slowly as I could.

  “You’re mine and I’m yours. Do you understand that?”

  “Yes,” she whispered.

  “I mean it, Scarlett. There is no other woman I want, but you. I love you and someday I’m going to marry you when you’re ready to have me as your husband.”

  Sobs slipped from her mouth as she covered it with one hand, keeping her other hand wrapped around my neck.

  “I. Love. You,” I said as I pulled out and slowly pushed back in.

  “You’re mine, Trevor…and I need you to move faster because I’m almost there.”

  My pace picked up, and Scarlett matched me move for move.

  “Yes, Trevor, God, yes.”

  Her feet hooked around my ass, pulling me in deeper as she cried out my name. Leaning my forehead to hers, I felt my own orgasm hit me. It was like nothing I’d ever felt before in my life.

  “Scarlett, I’m coming.”

  She grabbed my face, pulling my lips to hers. I kissed her as I came inside of her, feeling her body shake right along with mine.

  When I stopped moving, Scarlett dropped her legs from around me. Slipping off to the side of her, I laid on my back, breathing in much-needed air because I’d almost blacked out from the force of my orgasm.

  I’d never in my life, not even the night we made love and I forgot the condom, felt anything like that.

  Reaching for her hand, I laced our fingers together.

  “That was…I don’t even have words to describe how that was.”

  Squeezing my hand, Scarlett rolled to her side and rested her head on my chest.

  “I’m starving now.”

  “You’re hungry? I’m absolutely exhausted.”

  “I’m that, too. And I’m also feeling so…blissfully amazing. I don’t want to move.”

  Wrapping my arm around her, I pulled her closer to me. “Then we won’t move, baby. We can lie here the rest of the day and night if you want.”

  “Mmm, sounds like heaven. But I’m going to need food.”

  “That’s my pregnant princess talking. I wonder if Lilly’s will deliver way out here?”

  When my eyes opened, I felt the delicious ache between my legs.

  Trevor.

  Peeking up, I stared at the man who had taken me to heaven with some mind-blowing orgasms not too long ago. He slept so peacefully.

  Lifting my head, I rested my chin on the back of my hand. A dull pulse started between my legs. I wanted more. I needed more of him. Hell, we had lost time to make up for, and I wasn’t about to let it slip by. I had a naked Trevor, and I was going to take full advantage of that.

  Carefully moving the sheet off of us, I crawled on top of him. When I rubbed myself over his cock, I smiled at his hardness.

  His hands went to my hips, and he let out a low growl before he whispered my name.

  “Scarlett.”

  A wider smile broke out over my face when he opened his beautiful blue eyes and looked at me.

  Slowly lifting, I used my hand to guide him inside of me. Working him in, I dropped my head back and moaned. Once I had myself fully seated, I rocked back and forth. His body rubbing against my clit was heaven.

  “Fuck, yes,” Trevor hissed, making me look down at him.

  “Baby,” he grunted as he lifted his hips. “You horny?”

  I nodded. “I told you…it seems to happen a lot now because of the pregnancy.”

  He winked. “I know exactly how
to take care of that then.”

  Lifting up before I pushed back down, I made both of us moan.

  “So do I,” I purred as I dropped my hands to his chest and started to ride him. It didn’t take long for me to come. Trevor carefully moved me and got on top where he made love to me again, kissing me softly on my mouth, chin, neck, and down my chest. When he moved his lips back up to my ear and whispered that he loved me, I came. I knew he was coming right along with me when his breath turned quick and hard.

  Trevor stayed inside of me long after he’d finished. Both of us staring into each other’s eyes. We didn’t need to say anything, I saw it all in his eyes and he in mine.

  “Move in with me, Scarlett.”

  My eyes widened in shock. “What?”

  “I can’t stand being away from you. I want to wake up with you in my arms each morning and I want to fall asleep with you in my arms after I make love to you.”

  Swallowing hard, I searched for my voice.

  “Trevor, I don’t know. I have to get up early to be at the courthouse and…”

  “Quit.”

  With my hands on his chest, I pushed him back so I could get a better look at him.

  Letting out a gruff laugh, I said, “Trevor, I need my insurance! I need a job.”

  “Work here, for me on the ranch. I can cover the cost of the baby.”

  I rolled my eyes. “Okay, yeah, you can cover the cost of the baby’s birth? Trevor it will be thousands of dollars. Why do you think I’ve been working so much overtime?”

  He smiled. No, actually, he smirked.

  “I love how completely innocent you are, Scarlett. It’s one of the things I love about you.”

  Frowning, I pushed him harder, making him finally pull out of me. I scooted off the bed and grabbed the blanket to cover up.

  “Innocent? I beg your pardon, but I have the estimate of how much this baby is going to cost, and it’s not going to be cheap. Trevor, I need my insurance. I need a job to pay for things like diapers and formula. I’m not going to be dependent on you for those things.”

  Trevor climbed out of bed, not even caring that he was still completely naked. He walked to my side and took my hand. My eyes roamed his perfectly toned body. The way his muscles moved felt like a sin. God, he was sexy.

  Trevor reached for the blanket and pulled it off of me.
