My baby looked fuckin hot. I licked my lower lip at the thought of peeling her out of this dress and leaving the sexy heels just where they were. I could feel myself getting aroused and knew I needed to slow down.
I was in a church of all places, thinking about nailing my girl.
Natalie smiled like she could read my dirty thoughts and I couldn’t resist kissing her once more. I could see the tiny baby bump at her waist line and I smiled as I ran my fingertip over her stomach. I paused and traced little circles in the center before rested my palm over her completely.
When our eyes connected, hers were shiny with unshed tears. I bent down and kissed her softly, gently and with all the emotion I was feeling. In such a short time she had become my world and in less than six months, we would be a family.
“I love you,” I whispered against her lips and a single tear fell down her cheek. I traced it away with my thumb and kissed her forehead. My throat burned and my chest tightened. Natalie was the one thing I needed to make everything clear again.
“I’ll see you in a little bit, okay?”
I could tell she was fighting the tears. She only took the time to nod her head without speaking a word.
I started to walk back downstairs, when I suddenly remembered something.
“Oh, babe, tell Lex that Kole needs her.”
***
I found a seat and impatiently waited for the wedding to begin. There were so many people, but I could honestly say only a few looked familiar. Several coworkers were scattered around throughout the crowd.
“So who are you a friend of, the bride or groom?”
I turned around to find an attractive blonde woman with entirely too much cleavage on display had sat down on the other side of me. She smiled and waited for my response. “Um, actually I work with Radley, and my girlfriend is in the wedding.” Once I mentioned the word girlfriend the girl’s face shifted from her earlier eagerness. I could tell she was slightly disappointed.
“Girlfriend, huh? Well, that’s too bad. Weddings are a great event to meet others who are just looking for a good time.” She winked and licked her lip seductively. I fought the extreme urge to laugh at her. Was this girl serious?
The music started and I turned around, toward the entry doors. I didn’t even take the time to reply to the overly flirtatious girl.
I watched as the wedding party began entering. Once I spotted Natalie, the desire inside me went on full alert. I was like a walking erection when it came to her. Our eyes connected and she smiled sweetly.
I offered her a wink and caught sight of the guy her arm was linked to. By the look on his face I think he actually believed he had a chance with her or something. I watched her the entire way until she reached the front and took her place off to the side.
Lexi and Kole entered next. Following shortly after were the flower girls, and finally, Megan. She looked beautiful and the admiration in Radley’s eyes was like a flashing beacon. There was no way in hell anyone could not see how much he loved her.
During the ceremony I observed Natalie closely. She sniffled and shed a few tears during the vows but when they kissed the floodgates opened. I wanted to hold her close and kiss her softly at that moment. My little romance-addicted girl was sobbing like a baby, and I knew part of it was related to the hormones from her pregnancy too.
She was the most beautiful woman in the room. My heart ached at how much she meant to me. I told myself I wouldn’t go there, I couldn’t go back to that place. But I didn’t have a choice when it came to her. She was so amazing and she had such a beautiful soul. I couldn’t wait to share her with my family. I knew they were going love her just as much as I did.
The moment they began to dismiss the guests, I made my way to the door. The wedding party had already been led outside and was being ushered to the awaiting limousine. I watched as it pulled away from the curb and my stomach tensed. I was hoping I would catch her before they left.
“Looks like your girl left without you, huh?”
I didn’t turn around to face the woman who spoke at my side. The flirty blonde was back and I cringed at the sound of her voice.
“We could keep each other company,” she cooed. “I don’t bite.”
I turned, looking down at my arm as she ran her fingertips across my bicep. I could feel my jaw tensing. If this would have been four months ago it wouldn’t have been an issue. Hell, I would’ve found myself a quiet place and had this girl bent over in a second.
But things were different now and I wasn’t about to fuck it up.
“Listen, I told you I was here with my girlfriend. Obviously that doesn’t mean much to you, but it means everything to me. She means everything to me and so does my baby she’s carrying.” The blonde’s eyes just got a little bigger. “So maybe you should start searching for your next victim because I’m not interested.”
I walked off toward my car digging in my pocket as my phone vibrated against my leg.
Natalie: Meet me at the reception. We should be there soon. Miss you. Love you.
I needed that from Nat. I needed some reassurance. I knew I was insecure, but I was trying. When Natalie told me she loved me the first time, I got chills from head to toe. I felt like all the weight on my shoulders had suddenly been lifted and I could breathe again.
Natalie was the medicine that seemed to be healing my shattered heart. I knew I wanted her, needed her, and I knew there was no way I would let her go.
I’d traveled a pretty fucked up path over the last few years, I knew that. But it was that path that led me to the most beautiful treasure, so it made it all worth it in the end.
Adam: On my way, baby, I love you, too.
I entered the reception and slowly made my way through the crowd of guests. I could see Natalie across the room and the need to have her close outweighed anything else.
As I eliminated the distance between us, I tried to control my anger. That asshole that led her down the aisle had his hand on her lower back and was standing entirely too close. She was looking up at him laughing at something he said which irritated me more.
I stopped within a few feet of them and watched as they continued to talk. The shaggy haired guy looked up and noticed me, which only made Natalie look in the same direction. I mentally counted to ten before taking those last few steps toward her.
I never gave her a chance to speak as I grabbed a hold of her face and pulled her lips to mine. The moment her body met mine I felt her shudder and smiled against her lips. I loved the effect I had on her.
I kissed her softly at first, licking at her lower lip. The moment I felt the tip of her tongue touch mine, I went for it. Our kiss quickly became lustful and aggressive. I pulled back slowly, resting my forehead against hers trying to catch my breath.
Natalie appeared as winded as I was.
I heard someone clear their throat which gained both of our attentions.
The shaggy haired guy still stood next to us.
I just gave him a look that I was sure let him know he needed to move on when I felt Nat’s hand squeeze mine tighter.
“This is Megan’s cousin, Jayce.” I saw the fucker smile at my girl and I bit the inside of my cheek to keep from saying things I shouldn’t.
I really needed to work on that, I knew.
Instead I reached out and shook his hand. “Nice to meet you. I guess you got the chance to spend a little time with my girl here.” I nodded my head toward Natalie as I gripped her waist. I pulled her close to my body and placed my hand possessively over her lower stomach. “You’ll have to excuse her because I’m here now and I’m gonna take my girl and my baby, and dance.”
I pulled Natalie away without letting either of them speak another word.
The moment we got on the dance floor, I held her close and let my anger go. Now that I had her close to me, away from him, and I could relax.
“You are such a Neanderthal,” she said with a laugh.
I looked down at Natalie and couldn�
�t hold back my own grin. “What?”
“What? Really?” She laughed lightly and shook her head. “You know exactly what I’m talking about. You had to stake your claim on me in front of Jayce, didn’t you?”
I lowered my head and brought my lips to hover over hers. “You are mine, Nat. He was entirely too close, and yes, I had to let him know you’re mine.” I lowered my lips to hers and spent the next few minutes devouring her sweet mouth. Oh, and making it a point that every other guy in this room knew this girl was mine, too.
She was right. I was a Neanderthal.
Chapter Seventeen
Natalie
I loved the feeling of Adam’s arms possessively wrapped around me. I knew he had his reasons for being insecure. After what that bitch of ex-girlfriend did to him he was quick to get jealous.
What Adam had yet to realize was that I wanted this to work as much as he did. I wanted that one person that no matter what happened I could count on. I wanted our little soon-to-be family so bad it terrified me to think of it not working out.
My safe place was Adam’s arms and I planned to do whatever it took to remain there.
I tilted my head up and tucked myself into the shelter of his neck, placing soft kisses just below his ear, before trailing them down to his upper chest. I could see his tattoo peeking out just below the neckline of his shirt. That tattoo of his did crazy things to my hormones. I let my mind wander and envisioned him without his shirt. He was like a work of art that I could spend every day looking at.
On the left side of his chest he proudly wore a USMC tattoo from his days in the military.
“Nat, you better stop kissing my neck like that. I don’t think it’s really appropriate for me to walk around with a stiffy all night,” Adam whispered against my ear and chills instantly spread across my skin.
The moment he sucked on my earlobe my knees became weak.
“I think we can fix that,” I said in return as dirty thoughts raced through my mind.
I felt him twitch against my stomach and become even more aroused. “How do you suggest we do that?” he asked.
I was feeling daring and completely turned on. Hearing his husky whisper in my ear made me feel like attacking him right there in the middle of the dance floor. The moment Adam ran his tongue down the side of my neck in a taunting manner, it was on.
I grabbed his hand tightly and led him from the dance floor. I had some time before I would be needed or missed. Adam said nothing as I continued toward the front entrance. I could hear him chuckle behind me.
Once we exited the reception I looked over my shoulder. “Where’s your truck?”
I almost laughed as his eyebrows shot up when he figured out my plan. He just pointed straight ahead and I followed his hand with my gaze.
“Perfect,” I said with excitement.
I pulled on his hand and led him out into the darkened parking lot. I was glad he parked so far out, it made my plan that much better. Once we reached his truck I let go of his hand to reach up my dress. Adam watched me closely as I pulled my panties down my legs and wadded them up. I tucked them into his pants pocket and smiled.
“Unlock the truck big boy…I’ve got something I think you might enjoy,” I said as I placed my hand on my hip and waited.
His cocky smile had me vibrating with need. Adam unlocked his truck and I crawled inside. Once he closed the door behind us I reached for his buckle and began unbuttoning his dress pants. I lowered his zipper and reached under the waistband of his boxers, taking him into my hand. I fisted his cock and began stroking as I lowered my mouth onto him. I teased him with my tongue and I heard him groan at the contact.
“Fuck, baby,” he moaned.
I smiled proudly with the knowledge that I was causing him such pleasure. When I took him fully into my mouth and felt his hand grip the back of my neck, he began slowly thrusting his hips forward, meeting my mouth as I took him in and out. I could taste his pre-cum on my tongue and I wanted more. I began moving faster over him and he moaned louder. His hand tugged at his pants lowering them down his thighs and out of my way.
“Natalie,” he whispered my name. “Baby I wanna be inside you. Come here.” I rose up and gazed into his hungry eyes. He took his cock into his hand and slowly stroked up and down. I couldn’t stop myself from watching him pleasure himself. “You like that?” he asked me and I nodded as my eyes met his.
Adam ran his other hand up my inner thigh until he reached my wetness. I felt his fingers run through my folds before slipping a finger inside me. I let my head fall back and a loud moan rumbled through me.
“Ride me.” It wasn’t a question from him, more of a demand.
I gathered my dress around my waist and crawled across Adam’s lap, straddling him. I scooted closer until I felt the tip of his cock brush against me. I used his shoulders for balance as I held myself above his lap.
The moment I began lowering myself I felt my body tremble as he filled me. I watched his head fall back against the seat and felt his hips rise up to meet mine. Adam’s hands squeezed my hips as I continued to take him in fully. The moment he reached the deepest point he thrust his hips forward just a little further to gain that extra depth.
And for a moment we remained in that very position, just accepting the feelings that I’m sure he too had racing through his mind.
After a few seconds of regaining my control, I began to move my hips. My eyes squeezed tightly as I took in the feeling of him inside me.
“Look at me,” his husky voice demanded.
I opened my eyes to see Adam watching me. “Don’t close your eyes, Nat. Stay right here with me.”
He was so intense sometimes.
Our hips rotated together in perfect sync and my legs began to vibrate as the tension built. With each thrust I grinded myself just right against him. He sensed my impending orgasm and his eyes became hungrier.
“So good, you feel so fuckin’ amazing. There you go,” he grew almost desperate to make me come. “Yeah baby, let go.” I let my head fall back as we continued to rock together. I exploded and my vision ignited into a wild array of colors while screaming out his name.
“Fuck,” he groaned, “So tight baby.”
Adam drove into me harder and harder as he began to shudder beneath me. I could feel the wetness pool between us.
After we came down from our high I couldn’t keep from giggling.
Adam looked up at me, “What are you laughing at?”
I pointed down between us. “How are you going clean up?”
We had to go back inside without any signs that we just did the nasty in his truck. He chuckled and brushed my curls behind my ear. “Can you reach the glove box? I think I have some Kleenex or something in there.”
I leaned back and Adam brushed his thumb across my clit. I spun around to face him with the tissues in my hand. “Knock it off, horn dog.”
He grabbed the tissues and laughed as I lifted myself off of him. We spent the next few minutes cleaning ourselves up. Lowering my dress back into place, I reached for my panties that had fallen on the floor.
When I held them out in front of me, my stomach tightened, suddenly feeling sick. I turned to face Adam as he pulled his pants back up and zipped them up. When his eyes met mine he looked worried. “Natalie, what’s wrong?”
I leaned down grabbing the correct panties from the floor and tossed the red lacy panties at him, “You could have at least hid the evidence asshole.” I slid toward the passenger door and climbed from the truck. I started walking across the parking lot toward the front entrance still holding my panties in my hand.
I could hear his footsteps behind me.
“Natalie, wait…please.” I was only a few feet from the door when his arms circled my waist from behind. “Those had to have been in my truck from long ago. I haven’t been with anyone else but you since I’ve been here.”
I pulled away from him and he let his hands fall from my waist. I found my way to the restroom just a
s Megan and Lexi were about to exit. Once they saw my face they walked backward into the restroom.
I went straight for the bench on the other side of the room. Collapsing on to the cushioned seat in defeat, I let my head hang.
Lexi was the first one to speak. “Natalie? Why are you holding your panties in your hand?”
I looked down at my left hand and my body sagged back against the wall. “I never had a chance to put them back on.”
Megan laughed. “Well, sweet pea, why did you take them off in the first place?”
I let out an exaggerated sigh. “Adam and I just had truck sex.” They both smiled as they looked back and forth at each other before settling back on me. “When I went to put my underwear back on, I realized they weren’t my underwear.” Megan’s hand went to her mouth and Lexi stood up from the floor, with a look to kill. “He said they were there from a long time ago; I want to believe him but…” I was confused. “I mean I’ve ridden in his truck a million times and I’ve never seen them in there. Maybe it’s because I’m hormonal. I don’t know, am I overreacting?”
I looked up at my two best friends waiting for guidance. I heard a light knock on the door and all three of us looked as it came open. Adam’s head poked inside and he looked so worried.
“Nat, can we talk about this please?” he sounded so lost.
Lexi was the first to move as she charged in his direction. She pushed him backward out the door and I could hear him protesting.
Megan took a seat next to me on the bench. “I know what you mean about hormonal. I threw a brush at Radley yesterday because he stared at me a fragment too long when I asked him if I looked fat. Then I cried for two hours because I thought he didn’t find me attractive anymore.”
I looked up at Megan and laughed. I knew she was trying to make me smile and she had succeeded.
