Fight

by JL Davis

  “I love you,” he whispers, before lifting my shirt over my head.

  “I love you, too.”

  He unsnaps my bra, slowly pulling it off, leaving goosebumps behind. My nipples are hard peaks. Nathan takes one into his mouth, sucking lightly and then the other. He kisses down my neck and nibbles on my shoulder before dragging my shorts down my legs.

  He spreads my legs wide, looking at my now wet pussy. He licks his lips and seeing that tongue and knowing where it’s about to be makes my clit throb with the need to be touched, licked and sucked. He takes his shirt off and then his shorts.

  Nathan kneels between my legs. I feel his warm breath on my swollen lips. He’s teasing me and I can’t take it anymore. I run my fingers through his hair and pull him into me.

  “Patience, baby,” he chuckles.

  “Stop teasing me. It’s mean. I didn’t tease you the other night. If I can remember, I think I even gave you the control. Didn’t I? Remember my mouth on you, you fucking my mouth?”

  Nathan moans. “Yes. I do. It was amazing seeing my dick in your beautiful mouth.”

  “Then return the favor, Nath-.” Before I can finish saying his name his mouth is on me, covering my clit. He sucks hard and vigorously flicks his tongue at the same time. I let a moan escape and bite my lip, making sure not to wake Kayson. My grip in his hair tightens, pulling him in further. I don’t want to get mine like this. I want him inside me.

  I pull him up and he frowns. “What’s wrong? Are you okay?”

  “Yes,” I pant. “I want you inside me now.”

  Nathan reaches for the drawer and I pull him to me. “I’m completely clean and am on birth control. Please, let me feel you, all of you.”

  Nathan looks in my eyes. His smolder with need, and maybe a bit uncertainty. “Are you sure? Completely sure? I’m clean, too. I promise.”

  “Yes. I trust you completely.”

  Nathan leans in, our lips touch and the urgency of our emotions takes over. Our tongues tangle together. Nathan positions himself between my lips and runs the head through my wetness, back up to my clit.

  “So wet, Brittany. You’re soaked. I can’t wait to feel you around my dick.”

  I moan, “Me, too. Please. Make love to me.”

  Nathan enters me. Feeling all of him with no barrier between us, words can’t describe how good this feels. I’ve always used protection. I squeeze him tight and he moans.

  “Brittany. No. I won’t last. This is too good,” he pants. “Touch yourself. I want to see you play with yourself.”

  I do as he asks. I reach between us and rub my clit. Nathan watches me and he begins going faster inside me. “Fuck. Brittany. I need to stop.”

  “No.” I moan. “Don’t, I’m so close. Please. Together.”

  I squeeze him again tightly and he groans and thrusts faster and harder.

  With each thrust he grunts and it sounds so sexy. He’s coming undone.

  “Brittany, you there?”

  “Yes. Go. Don’t stop.” I rub faster and feel it building deep inside me. My orgasm hits me so hard, every nerve ending in my clit explodes. I cry out loudly. Nathan covers my mouth and that does something to me. He’s always so sweet, but I love him like this when he’s inside me. It reminds me of the heroines in some books I’ve read.

  I feel Nathan’s orgasm, the heat deep inside me. I can feel him throbbing and trembling above me. He lowers himself onto his elbows and kisses me. Both of us glistening with sweat and panting, trying to catch our breath.

  “Brittany, that was amazing. I love you.”

  “I agree. It was so good. I love you, too.”

  “I don’t know if I can go back.”

  I laugh. “I don’t see why we have to.”

  “Good. I like feeling that close to you, being inside you. Even with Tonya I wore condoms. We have Kaden because one broke.”

  “I hadn’t either. No one was ever worth it. They didn’t have my heart.”

  “Sometimes you can be so sweet,” he says, dramatically grabbing his chest.

  “Asshole. See if I’m sweet again.”

  Nathan chuckles. “Let’s get cleaned up. It’s getting late and we know Kayson will be awake early. I need snuggle time.”

  The next morning Kayson’s awake and jumping on our bed at the crack of dawn. Our bed. It feels weird saying that.

  “Brit-ey! Wake!” He jumps on me and it takes my breath away. But with his giggling and adorable smile looking down on me I can’t be cranky.

  “I’m up. Now time for tickles.” I sit up and tickle his little belly. He screams and giggles and it’s a wonderful sound to wake up to. Who knew?

  Nathan sits up. “What is Brittany doing to you, buddy?” He chuckles. “My turn.” He joins in.

  This is like nothing I thought it would be. The thought of a man with a kid turned me off immediately. I didn’t think I wanted a relationship like that. I assumed it was too much drama, dealing with exes, the crying kid. It just seemed like too much of a hassle to even try. I was so wrong. I love this. It almost feels like we’re a family in a way. I’m jumping the gun for sure, but this all feels so right.

  “Nathan, stop. Let him breathe. He’s going to pee on himself.”

  Kayson jumps in my arms. I hold him close, enjoying this moment with him. I’m so glad he likes me. This could have been difficult if he didn’t, for all of us.

  I didn’t realize I’d closed my eyes while holding him. When I open them, Nathan is watching us and smiling with tears in his eyes. He looks away and wipes his face.

  “I love you.”

  “I love you, too. I think someone else does too.” He says, nodding to Kayson.

  “Love Brit-ey.”

  “I love you, too, Kayson.” I wipe a tear away from my face. Nathan smiles and then kisses me.

  “Eat, Daddy! Hungey,” Kayson says, jumping again.

  Nathan’s phone rings. “It’s the detective.”

  “Answer it. I’ll make Kayson something for breakfast.”

  I carry Kayson into the kitchen on my hip. What to make a two-year old. Eggs?

  “Ya want some eggs?” He smiles and nods like a baby bobble-head.

  “Okay. You go play and I’ll make your eggs.” I set him on his feet and like lightning he gone. He’s such a good boy.

  Nathan comes in and kisses my cheek. “They called to let me know the case is closed. The fire was caused by the old wiring. I guess Jeff should’ve updated that.” He smiles.

  “Nathan, stop it. Derek was very lucky he didn’t get caught. Did they say anything about Jeff?”

  “Yes. A few girls have come forward and made statements against him for assault, also. With all the statements and evidence against him, you will not have to testify. He’s looking at fifteen to twenty for everything.”

  “So it’s done? We don’t have to deal with anything else?”

  “Yes. We can move on and focus on us. Have you decided what you’re doing with your house?”

  “No. Not yet.” I don’t want to sell my house. What if something happened between Nathan and I? I hope nothing does but I’m not gonna be stupid.

  A few weeks later...

  Things between Nathan and I have been going great. Kayson has become my buddy. At times, more than Nathan’s. It’s quite comical. He loves going to daycare and has made many friends. I’m glad he’s getting to interact with other children. He needed that.

  We’ve been keeping up with the whole Jeff fiasco, he’s still in jail and I’m glad. I worry at times he will get out and come after us. He’s crazy and never needs to be let out.

  Last week, I learned he has a wife and two children. Nathan was shocked when he found out. Jeff had never mentioned his family once the entire time he’d known him. I couldn’t imagine what his wife thought about all this when she found out. Knowing your husband is a cheat in so many ways must be hard for her. The children must miss him. I’m sure they had no clue what a piece of shit he was. I wonder if he even intera
cted with them, played with them, or even loved them at all. Jeff needs to be held accountable for his actions and it’s sad so many people had to suffer because of him.

  Jeff’s wife finally spoke out on the news one night. She made a statement and said she’d stand behind her husband, believed he was telling the truth, that basically everyone was lying about him. It was painful to watch. She’s obviously in denial or he’s just brainwashed her into believing every lie he’s told. The evidence speaks for itself. She needs to realize it and do what’s best for herself and her children.

  Jessa and Alex’s wedding is coming up soon. Two weeks from today, to be exact. She is so excited and I’ve been helping her with some of the last-minute details. It’s been fun helping her choose the flatware and music and where everyone will sit. Jessa originally wanted a very small wedding for just family and a few friends, but it’s now turned into about seventy-five people. It will be elegant and amazing. I can’t wait to see it all.

  Nathan’s been kicking ass with bringing in new jobs. He’s been so focused, so different, but in a good way now that he’s not fighting for Jeff. It’s been keeping everyone busy at Rogan.

  He has the custody hearing next week and he feels confident about it. Now that Jeff is out of the picture and can’t try to fuck it up for him, Nathan’s not been too nervous. I keep reassuring him that things are going to be fine and not to worry. Everything has been going smoothly at home. I see no reason why Nathan won’t get custody of his son. Kayson loves his daddy and the courts will see that, since he will be there with us. My only concern is them saying something about me being there. It shouldn’t matter. We love each other and I don’t have a background or record, not to mention my dad is one of the state’s best attorneys. They should approve that Kayson has a sort-of motherly influence. That’s funny thinking of myself as a mother, but maybe one day I will become his stepmom. In a way, I’ll be the only mother he’s ever known, considering he’s so young and most-likely won’t remember his real mother.

  Tonight, we have dinner plans with Jessa and Alex. We talked the guys into hibachi at one of our favorite restaurants. This will be our first couples-date and I’m excited and a bit concerned. Jessa’s gonna fuck with us. I know it. I wouldn’t blame her, either. I would have done it to her, but since she’s with my uncle that’s no fun, and just gross. I don’t want to know anything about their extracurricular activities and it’s not like she hasn’t tried because she has. I just cut her off before she gets to anything juicy that will make me gag.

  One of the girls that works at Kayson’s daycare has become our babysitter when we need some time to ourselves. Callie is wonderful with him and Kayson seems to like her a lot. So, that’s a win-win. She reminds me of someone. I just can’t put my finger on it.

  Of course, work drags ass today because I’m excited about tonight. The day’s almost over. I’m ready to get out of here.

  “Jessa, please refrain from embarrassing me tonight.” “Why would you think I’d do that?” she asks innocently, batting her eyes.

  “Because I’d do it to you,” I laugh. “Seriously, please. I am your maid of honor remember? I get to plan your bachelorette party. Don’t fuck with me. I’ll get you some old guy stripper and have his saggy balls all up in your face.”

  “I wouldn’t consider three people a bachelorette party, but okay, fine. You’re no fun anymore, you know that?”

  “Who is gonna be at Alex’s party?”

  “I think our guys, obviously, and maybe George. We sure are awesome people, aren’t we? We have hardly anyone to invite to our parties.”

  “I think that’s better, actually. We can have more fun.” I smile.

  Thinking of that, when I ever have one, mine won’t be any better. I don’t talk to most of my friends from school anymore. They’ve all moved off for college and are doing their own things now. Some came in for my birthday last year. It was fun, but also weird. We’ve all changed so much, grown up.

  I look at the clock. “Get up! It’s time to get out of here!”

  “Let me go grab Alex. We’ll see you there at seven. Right?”

  “We won’t be late.”

  “Ha! I’ll believe it when I see it.”

  I flip her off on my way out the door. Nathan’s gonna meet me back at home after he picks up Kayson from daycare.

  I’m just getting out of the shower when I hear them come in. Kayson’s chattering about something and Nathan’s laughing. He comes in the bathroom. He pulls me in for a kiss. “I’m just in time. I missed you today.”

  “I missed you, too. Now get ready so we can go. I’m ready to have you to myself.”

  “We’re not going to be alone,” he sighs.

  “I know that. It will be fun. They’re our friends and we haven’t gotten to spend any time with them in a while.”

  “That’s true. It’s been since the engagement party when you were drunk. Remember?” he chuckles.

  “Yes. I remember, well some of it. Are you ever gonna fill me in on what I don’t remember?”

  “I might, eventually.” He winks.

  I sigh and roll my eyes. “I probably don’t ever need to know. I say the darnedest things when I’m drunk.”

  “That you do.”

  I smack his ass. “Hurry up.”

  “Ow. Okay. Damn. I’ll get you back.”

  “I’m counting on it,” I say as he’s closing the shower door, the water cascading down his body. Fuck, I need to go finish getting ready. I can gawk later when I have more time.

  It’s now six and Callie’s just arrived. She’s in Kayson’s room playing trucks with him

  “Callie, you have my cell number if you need me for anything at all. We should be back around nine-thirty. There is pizza on the counter. Thanks so much for watching him for us.” Nathan says.

  “No problem, Mr. Beckam. We will be just fine. Have a great time,” Callie says, smiling.

  If I didn’t know any better, I’d say little miss Callie has a crush on Nathan. I don’t blame her, though. He’s a god. Too bad he was starting junior high school when she was born.

  “Are you ready, babe?”

  “Yes. Let me grab my purse. Bye, Callie.” She waves at me. Yep, she’s jealous. Adorable.

  Nathan opens the door for me and when I step inside, my stomach growls. I’m so hungry. I missed lunch today. I spot Alex and Jessa. Of course they beat us, but we’re not late. I look at my watch. Nope, two minutes to spare.

  Jessa smiles as we walk up. “Look, you’re on time.”

  “I told you we wouldn’t be late. You didn’t believe me? My feelings are hurt.” I pout.

  “Yeah, yeah. Hi, Nathan,” she says. I so just saw her check him out. She must have had a couple already. I just shake my head.

  “Hi, Alex. How do you put up with her?”

  “I’m not sure, but I’ll have her forever,” he says, looking at his soon-to-be-wife.

  “I guess I’ll take that as a compliment,” she says, rolling her eyes.

  “I’m starving.” We didn’t do the grill experience tonight. We wanted it to be more private. Sometimes you get grouped with other people. We wanted to be able to speak freely. Now that I see Jessa’s drinking, I’m glad we did. She’s almost as bad as me.

  “So fill me in on the wedding. What do you have left to do?”

  “All I have left to do is order the flowers.” She dances in her chair.

  “That’s awesome.” I smile. “What did you choose?”

  “Hydrangeas, of course.”

  “I should’ve known. Sometimes I wonder if that’s why you’re with Alex, because of his bushes.” I laugh.

  “I’d have to disagree. I’m a fantastic lover.” Alex laughs.

  “Can we not talk about that please. I’m about to eat. I don’t want to hear about my family’s sex life. Thank you.”

  “I guess it runs in the family.” Nathan teases. Alex’s face falls and Jessa and I die laughing.

  I protest no talk abo
ut work and everyone agrees. During dinner, we chat about the bachelor and bachelorette parties and where Jessa and Alex are going on their honeymoon. I’m jealous. Alex is taking Jessa to Paris. Paris has always been on my bucket list.

  It’s now pushing nine and we need to get back to Kayson.

  “This was fun. We need to do this again soon,” Jessa says.

  “We will, just separately,” I laugh. “Your bachelorette party is gonna be awesome. I hope you’re ready.” I shake her shoulders as we head for the door.

  “Okay, now. I don’t want a divorce right after a wedding.” Alex smiles.

  “It will be fine.” I wink.

  Back at home we find Callie on the couch with Kayson asleep in her arms. I touch her shoulder and she startles. “Sorry. I didn’t mean to scare you.” I reach for Kayson and he snuggles into my shoulder. “Thanks so much for watching him. Did he give you any trouble?”

  Callie yawns. “He was great. He ate well, too.” “Great. Did you get your money?”

  “I did. Thank you. Do you want me to watch him when

  y’all go out next weekend, too? I don’t mind at all. I have no plans.” “I’ll talk with Nathan. I’m sure we will, though. Thanks again.” I say, walking her to the door. I’m not sure where Nathan is hiding. I think he gets uncomfortable around her. I’ve maybe joked a bit too much about her crush on him.

  One Week Later…

  Nathan has court today and he’s glad it’s finally here, but also worried. There’s no reason he shouldn’t be granted custody. I’m going with them for support and a possible person to speak at the hearing, if I’m needed.

  Nathan presented the court with all the documents needed to move forward. The judge asked several questions regarding care Kayson. With what the social worker said in Nathan’s defense and all the documents the judge saw no reason why Nathan couldn’t have custody of his son and granted full custody.

  Today went great, better than we could have imagined. It’s another reason to celebrate. Tonight, we each go out for the bachelor and bachelorette parties. I’m so excited.
