He didn’t have to do anything more because Zoey positioned herself, using one hand to guide his cock before lowering her hips and seating him fully inside of her.
He groaned.
She groaned.
And then there was friction as he began lifting her hips, grinding his cock in her wet heat as they once again melded their mouths together. He didn’t let her go, holding her head so she wouldn’t get away because having her this close had become an obsession with him.
He might get pleasure from the threesomes, and he knew Zoey did too, but they paled in comparison to this. Two bodies, two souls, two hearts, coming together as one. And that’s how Kaleb felt when he was with Zoey.
For him, there was no better place to be.
♀♂
Zoey was holding onto Kaleb for dear life.
Swiping her tongue over his, she got lost in the taste of him, the warmth of his body pressed against hers and the incredible feeling of him filling her. This was different from before. They were coming together as one, in more ways than just their bodies. It wasn’t much different from in the truck, yet more intimate in so many ways.
Part of her was scared to give in to him, but the other part knew she already had. Zoey had fallen for this man. Her best friend. Her lover. She’d gone and given her heart to Kaleb Walker, and he didn’t even know it.
And she couldn’t tell him because she didn’t want their feelings to influence the outcome of what they both had to do. She still had to make a decision on the land, and she needed to know that whatever she chose to do, Kaleb would support her.
But right now, here in the darkness, Kaleb making love to her was what she needed, and she wanted to hold on to that for a little while. Hold on to him.
“You feel so good.” Kaleb whispered softly in her ear.
Zoey couldn’t remember ever having felt the way Kaleb made her feel. Never once in the five years of her marriage had Jason ever made her feel like she was the only one that mattered. Yet Kaleb did.
“Kaleb, please.” She wasn’t sure what she was pleading for, but she needed more. More of him, more of this. Anything to secure this feeling in her memory so she could always hold on to it.
“Anything, Zoey.” He responded, holding her hips and thrusting into her. “Anything at all.”
The water dispersed around them with every forceful movement, but Zoey didn’t care. “I need you, Kaleb.”
“I’m right here, baby. Always here.”
Zoey felt her release building, the sharp sudden tingling in her womb, her muscles fighting for control, needing to hold on so she didn’t shatter into a million pieces.
“Come for me, Zoey.” Kaleb told her, and Zoey laced her fingers in his hair, crushed her mouth to his and clamped her internal muscles on his steel hard erection buried deep inside of her.
And then she let herself go.
Chapter Twenty
♀♂
“Morning.” Zoey greeted Vanessa two days later. It was bright and early, and they had to meet up at the Wilson’s once again, so Zoey was surprised to see V at her house.
“I’m so happy you didn’t preface that with a good.” V replied, barely smiling.
Zoey knew something was wrong with V, she’d known for a while, ever since that afternoon at Anderson’s cleanup. After what happened between Jake and Zane, V hadn’t been the same. Whether it was the nasty comments Jake made, or whether it was Zane’s reaction, Zoey wasn’t so sure. She had a feeling it was a little of both.
V wasn’t used to someone standing up for her. That’s not what her childhood had been about, and although they had a large group of friends, including the Walker brothers, V had never actually allowed anyone to get close. With the exception of Zoey. In recent days, V had been pulling away, keeping herself at a distance from everyone.
“Still pissy, I see.” Zoey retorted as she poured a mug of coffee for V.
“Maybe.”
There was no maybe about it. Zoey knew V, and she knew something was going on. She just hadn’t been able to get her friend to open up to her, until now.
“Here.” Zoey thrust the mug toward her friend as she grabbed her truck keys off the counter. “Let’s go get this over with.”
On the drive over to the Wilson’s, V didn’t say a word and the silence was beginning to wear on Zoey’s last nerve. She had her own issues to deal with. Namely deciding what to do with the land and she really wanted her friend’s input.
“Tell me what’s going on.” Zoey insisted, glancing over at V then back at the road. “Is this about Zane?”
Regardless what V said, Zoey knew it was. The two of them must have gotten pretty hot and heavy, pretty damn quickly which never did work out in anyone’s favor.
“Hell no.” V said. “Ok, yes. Why the hell did he have to go and defend me like that? I’m sure as soon as I left, everyone was talking about poor, little Vanessa, her mother’s such a whore.”
“Actually, that’s not what anyone was saying.” Zoey said, feeling a little defensive. “Nor was it what they were thinking.” Pulling into the Wilson’s driveway, Zoey didn’t move to get out; instead, she turned toward her friend. “Zane obviously cares about you. Wait, let me finish.” Zoey held out a hand, stopping V’s rebuttal. “Regardless of what’s going on between the two of you, Zane is still your friend. We all are. And we care about you, V.”
Vanessa didn’t look at her.
“You can find whatever faults you want to in Zane, but he wasn’t wrong in this.” Zoey lowered her voice.
“I heard about what happened at Moonshiner’s.” V changed the subject, and effectively had Zoey exiting the truck. She didn’t want to relive that night.
“I can’t believe Jason got Tiffany pregnant and the twins ran them out of town.”
Zoey turned to look at V. Could her friend actually not have known? The same as Kaleb? She found it hard to believe neither of her best friends knew what Jason had done. “Are you telling me you didn’t know about this?”
“None, whatsoever.” V said, sounding a little angry. “Do you actually believe if I had known that I wouldn’t have told you? God, Zoey!” V grabbed her bucket from the back of the truck. “Way to show how much you trust me.”
Zoey grabbed her bucket and took off after V. It was harder to keep up because V had much longer legs and walked fast. Especially when she was mad.
“Wait. V. Stop.” Zoey called out to her, feeling like a total ass yet again. “I do trust you. I just find it hard to believe that the whole town didn’t know.”
“Well, we didn’t. Apparently Braydon and Brendon care about you more than you think. From what I heard, they were all over Jason, forcing him to take his lying, cheating ass out of town as fast as his scrawny legs could carry him.”
Zoey laughed. Jason was a little scrawny, now that she thought about it. But, that was probably because she was comparing him to Kaleb. Something she found herself doing to every man she knew. No one compared to him.
“I’m sorry, V. I didn’t mean it like that.” Zoey knew deep in her heart that V and Kaleb would’ve been the first to tell her had they known.
V looked back at Zoey, a wicked grin on her face. “I forgive you, but that means you have to clean all of the toilets.”
Two hours later, Zoey and V were finally returning to the truck, both of them exhausted.
“I swear I’m never having kids.” V exhaled on a sigh as she climbed into the truck. “If there is any chance my house will look like that every week, you can forget about it.”
Zoey laughed. She agreed whole heartedly; however, she wasn’t so sure about the not having kids part. Admittedly, she’d considered the possibility with Kaleb. In recent days, she’d considered a million possibilities with Kaleb, none of which she thought would actually come true, but she could still dream.
“Hey, V,” Zoey began as they were backing out of the driveway, “what do you think about the resort the Walker’s want to build?”
�
�I don’t know much about it, except what Zane told me, but I think it sounds kinda cool.”
“Do you realize it’s not a normal resort?” That was probably the one thing Zoey was having a hard time wrapping her mind around. It was a sex club, plain and simple, yet no one had come out and said so.
“Normal? Define normal?”
“Don’t get me wrong.” Zoey stated. “I’ve seen the plans, and the place is going to be amazing. They’ll have shopping, restaurants, and even a spa. Hell, you could practically live there and never need to go anywhere else.”
“A spa?” Leave it to V to pick up on that one thing.
“And two clubs.”
“Two? As in dance clubs?”
“Not exactly.” Not that Zoey knew the specifics. From what she had seen on the design, there would certainly be dancing, but the dancers would be on poles. And naked.
“Ok, spill it, woman. What kind of clubs are we talking about here?” V asked, turning in her seat to face Zoey. “Oh!”
“Oh is right.” It never did take V long to catch on.
“Sex clubs? Like BDSM and shit?” V sounded even more curious now.
“Well, I don’t know about all that. I don’t think any of the Walker boys are into BDSM, but maybe.
“Travis told me that it’ll be by invitation only, and they’re looking to keep their guest list secure to protect their privacy. They’ve hired some security firm out of Dallas, and there are a couple of investors who have already agreed to back them.”
“Holy shit.”
Zoey glanced over and noticed the seductive smile tipping V’s full lips. “What? What are you thinking?”
“I’m wondering if I can be an exclusive member, of course.”
“Seriously?” Zoey had never thought of it that way.
“Hell yeah. If I had the money, I’d invest.”
Hmmm... That got Zoey to thinking. Invest? Really? Now that could be a logical answer to her problems. Maybe she didn’t have to sell the land to the Walker’s. Maybe she could just lease it to them. It was definitely a thought.
“Two clubs?Exclusive members? Sex? I like it, Zoey.”
V’s last comment swirled through Zoey’s mind. Maybe she had been going about this the wrong way.
Chapter Twenty One
♂♀
Kaleb couldn’t stop pacing the office floor, and he knew he was getting on Travis’ last nerve, but he didn’t give a shit. Today was the day. Zoey had asked them to meet her at her house at four o’clock, and it was only two. He didn’t know if he was going to survive the wait much longer.
It wasn’t that he was anxiously awaiting her final decision, although he was, but more importantly, he knew that as soon as this was over – no matter the outcome – he’d have the opportunity to talk to Zoey alone.
Since Gage was leaving town first thing in the morning, Zoey and Kaleb agreed the night before to meet up with him later tonight. It had been Zoey’s idea and quite frankly, Kaleb was beginning to wonder about his sweet, innocent little lover. She was out of control. Way out of control.
He loved it.
But that was because he loved her.
Yes, he’d finally come to terms about how he felt about her, and now the only thing left to do was to tell her. Show her. Granted, he’d have to wait until later, especially if Gage was going to be at the house, but it was only a matter of time now.
“Would you sit your ass down?” Travis barked, shaking Kaleb from his thoughts.
Kaleb didn’t apologize, but he did make his way to his desk, pulling up his email. As he sorted through the junk mail, he tried to get his mind off of Zoey and back on work. Where it should’ve been.
“The McCoy’s want to meet with us.” Travis said, finally giving Kaleb something else to think about.
“When?” Kaleb hadn’t met Luke and Logan McCoy, although he had had several conversations with Alex McDermott, the owner of CISS – Corporate Investigative Security Services – as well as his partner Dylan Thomas and one of their employees, Cole Ackerley.
Since Travis had sought out CISS for their security, wanting the best for the resort, they’d all become acquainted over the last few months. And he’d heard about Luke and Logan, mainly from Travis, but he had yet to meet them.
“Tomorrow night.” Travis confirmed. “I told them we’d have an answer for them today, and we’d meet for dinner to discuss the next steps.”
Kaleb knew that regardless of Zoey’s decision, there would be next steps. Travis, Sawyer, and Kaleb were all invested in this resort, and if they had to change the layout because of the land, then so be it.
“Dinner?”
“Yeah. We’ll meet at the steakhouse in Austin. Their treat, they said. And they’re bringing their significant others.”
Kaleb glanced at Travis, wondering why he didn’t say wives.
“It’s an interesting situation, let’s put it that way.” Travis smirked.
“Interesting how?”
“Logan is married, but Luke is in a three way relationship.”
“Three way? Like as in two women?” Kaleb tried to picture it in his mind.
“No. He’s in a relationship with a man and a woman. Cole Ackerley is Luke’s lover.”
“Ahhh. Well, that makes sense.” It didn’t actually, but to each his own and all that. Kaleb didn’t care whom they were with, just as long as they could help to get this resort off the ground. Knowing the plans Travis had come up with, the type of clientele they would be after would likely make a three way relationship look tame.
“So, dinner tomorrow night. Bring Zoey if you want.” Travis said, and Kaleb made a mental note to talk to her about it.
Two hours later, Kaleb was pulling up to Zoey’s house, both Sawyer and Travis following behind him in their own vehicles. Since Kaleb wasn’t planning to run out as soon as the meeting was over, they’d all decided to drive separately.
He had to admit he was a little nervous about this meeting. Since he had left her house that morning, Kaleb hadn’t spoken to Zoey, except for a couple of texts during the day. She said she’d been busy getting ready and Kaleb couldn’t imagine what the woman was up to. With Zoey, he wouldn’t put anything past her.
The thought made him smile.
When he approached the door, he rapped his knuckles on the wooden screen before opening it and walking in. There before him was the sexiest thing he’d seen in his life.
Zoey was wearing a tight blue jean skirt, short enough to make his eyes wander and his dick to rise to the occasion. She had on an oversized cream colored sweater – nearly see thru, mind you – and a brown tank top beneath. She was also sporting her damn cowgirl boots, and he was half tempted to take her straight to her bedroom just to show her what he thought about the outfit.
“Damn, baby.” He whistled as he approached. “I thought you wanted to have a meeting.”
Grinning from ear to ear, Zoey met him in the living room, reached up and kissed him lightly on the lips before turning back to the kitchen. “Are Sawyer and Travis with you?”
“They’re behind me. We took separate vehicles.”
A knowing smile tipped her lips and made her blue eyes shine. God he loved that smile.
“Well, as soon as they get here, we’ll get started. I’ve set everything up in the kitchen.”
Set everything up? Kaleb glanced in the kitchen and noticed there were some papers on the table. What was she up to?
♀♂
Zoey was nervous as hell, and she’d had more than one pep talk with herself since that morning. Thankfully, she’d busied herself by running down to Austin so she could get a couple of things for the meeting. And now, the time had come for her presentation.
Never in her life had she given a presentation before, but after her conversation with Vanessa, she finally figured out a way to make this work for everyone. She only hoped the Walker’s were receptive to her proposal.
“Hey, Zoe.” Travis greeted when he walked through t
he door, followed closely by Sawyer.
“Hey. Thanks for coming.” Ok, so now her nerves were making her a jumbled mess. This plan had seemed so easy in her mind, but with her tiny house filled with three of the Walker brothers, she was beginning to doubt herself.
“Let’s go in the kitchen.” Kaleb told his brother’s, obviously picking up on her sudden dry mouth. She smiled at him in thanks.
She noticed the look Travis shot at Sawyer, but they didn’t say anything as they made their way through the living room.
Once the three men were seated at the table, she swallowed hard, trying to scrounge up the courage to go through with this proposal. She’d run it by her father earlier that morning and had been pleasantly surprised by his support.
“Have you made a decision?” Travis asked, always the one to get right down to business.
“That depends.” Zoey grinned. “I’ve actually come up with a proposal for you. One I think will benefit us all in the long run.”
“A proposal?” Travis sounded skeptical, and the look he threw at Kaleb said so. When Kaleb just shrugged his shoulders and turned his attention back to her, Zoey continued.
“After giving this some serious thought, I’d be interested in letting you use my land.”
“Use it? As in letting us purchase it?” Sawyer asked.
“Not exactly.”
“What the fuck?” Travis exclaimed pushing up from his chair and startling Zoey with his outrage.
“Sit the fuck down and listen to her.” Kaleb demanded.
Zoey jumped, jolted by Kaleb’s adamant tone. She’d never seen Kaleb react like that. He was always the level headed one, never showing his anger in public.
Apparently Travis hadn’t seen that side of his brother either because he lowered himself back to his chair, looking none too happy about her initial comment.
For the next half hour, Zoey went through her spiel, showing them – on paper – exactly what her proposal looked like. She informed them that she liked the idea of the resort, was more interested once she found out that it wouldn’t be open to the general public which would help to keep their quaint little town off the map.
