I grabbed her wrist, stopping her. “Stop!” I said. My voice was raw and low.
“I hate him…I hate him!” She fought against me.
I yanked her into my chest and pinned her arms between our bodies.
“I can’t even cry anymore.” She said. Her body was shaking like a leaf. “I hate him.”
“Pack some clothes, you’re gonna come back to school with me.” I told her. There was no way I was going to leave her here.
There was a knock on the door, I released Tabitha and walked over to the door. There stood a guy, about my height but not nearly as built as me. “Yes?” I said with a growl.
“Is…uh Tabitha here?” He asked with his brows furrowed.
“Now’s not a good time.” I told him and started to shut the door.
He put his hand against the door and pushed it open, the room was a wreck. “The fuck is going on here?” He snarled and glared at me.
Tabitha was sitting on her bed with her knees pulled up to her chest, staring at the blank wall by her roommate’s bed. The guy grabbed me by my shirt and shoved me against the wall, “What the fuck did you do to her?” He yelled.
I shoved him away from me, “Get the fuck out!”
Tabitha jumped up from the bed and pushed herself between us, “STOP! Vance this is Triton—my friend. Triton, this is my step brother.”
“Looks like he’s been fuckin’ destroying this place.”
She shook her head, “No…he’s here because I need him. I made this mess.”
Tabitha turned and walked back over to her bed, “And this is the aftermath of finding out your dead ex boyfriend cheated on you and has a kid.” She said and shook her head.
I glared at Triton, “I’d never harm a hair on her fuckin’ body.”
He held his hands up in defense, “Looked real bad when I walked in. I’ll uh…leave you two alone.” He ran his hand through his hair and walked out the door.
I started cleaning up the mess that Tabitha had made, Jerin walked in the door and her eyes got big. “What the hell?”
Tabitha shook her head, “You’re not going to believe this.” She told Jerin what Naomi had revealed to us. “So this mess,” she waved her hand around the small dorm room, “Was me losing my shit.”
Jerin sat there, in shock, “Wow…so now what?” She asked and started helping me pick up the mess.
“I…I don’t know.” Tabitha answered.
“She’s going to leave with me for a few days.” I replied.
Jerin nodded her head, “I’ll still be here when you get back. I’m so sorry.”
Tabitha swept up the glass and angrily dumped it into a trashcan.
“I’ll tell the dean you had to leave for a family emergency.” Jerin said as she sat down beside Tabitha.
Twenty minutes later I was carrying a duffle bag of Tabitha’s clothes out to my pickup. As we were about to get in my truck, a tall beautiful dark skinned girl yelled for Tabitha. “Oh my god! I just found out what happened! Are you leaving?” She asked.
“I have to, I need some time to think.” Tabitha told the girl.
“Your spot will still be here when you get back. I’m in absolute shock over this. You are beautiful, you are strong, and you’ll get past this. I’m here for you anytime.” She pulled Tabitha into a hug. “I’m Courtney, the captain.” She said to me after her and Tabitha released each other.
“Vance.” I nodded and shook her hand.
“You take good care of her.” She replied with a smile.
“Absolutely.” I answered back.
On the drive back to college Tabitha was quiet, my phone vibrated in my pocket so I pulled it out. “Good lord.” I grumbled. I had thirty missed calls from Vi and just as many text messages.
“Your girlfriend?” Tabitha asked flatly.
I furrowed my eyebrows, “No, my pain in the ass sister.” I handed Tabitha my phone so she could see for herself. “I don’t have a girlfriend.”
She remained silent for a while, “Vance, should we tell Morgan’s parents…about the baby?”
I inhaled and blew out a breath, “I don’t know yet, I need to talk to dad and see what he says.”
Tabitha nodded her head, “When we get to your dorm can we wait to call Vidalia?”
I nodded my head, “Yeah, but she’s going to keep blowing up my phone until one of us calls her.”
She agreed but said that I could call her. Then she grabbed my hand and curled up against my shoulder and fell asleep.
Vidalia’s reaction to the news was just what I expected, a lot of screaming and cussing and tears. I didn’t want to wake Tabitha up so I told her that we would see her the following day. She understood that Tabitha wanted to get some rest and swore she’d be at my dorm at eight o’clock sharp the following day.
The rest of the drive I listened to Tabitha breathe and even caught a few stray tears falling down her cheek. It felt like I was being gutted, I wanted to help her but I had no clue how. I wanted to kiss away the tears and the heartache and make her see that I could help her get past all of this. My thoughts drifted to Morgan, I was pissed off at him and if he was still alive I would have beat the hell out of him for causing her so much pain. I had to stop for fuel and get something to eat, Tabitha woke up and went into the restroom. When I came out from the gas station she was in the pickup looking down at her phone, tears streaming down her face. “I want to hate him, I do hate him, I miss him, I want to know what it was about her.” She said and wiped her tears away. “Why wasn’t I good enough?”
“Hey,” I tipped her chin up and looked her in the eyes, “You are good enough, don’t ever say that shit again.” I wiped a tear away with my thumb and Tabitha closed her eyes. Her thick black eyelashes were wet from the tears, when she opened her eyes my heart rate sped up.
“Please kiss me.” She whispered.
With no hesitation I leaned into her and kissed her, she tangled her fingers in my hair and sighed. Then she pulled away, “Only you can make me feel like this.” She put her forehead against mine. “Why does it have to be wrong for us?”
I didn’t know what to say, I put the pickup in Drive, we still had a couple hours left to go and being in this confined area with her was testing my will power not to touch her and make love to her.
“So, tell me about that Triton dude.” I said, breaking the silence.
“He, asked me out on a date. But we never had the chance to go on one. How many girls are going to be wanting to claw my eyes out when they see us together?”
I laughed, “None, I…I’ve had one hookup since I got there. It was right after we got there, a quickie in the bathroom of a frat house.”
Tabitha gasped, “You…fucked a girl in the bathroom?”
I shrugged a shoulder, “I’m a guy, she was rubbing all up on my junk.”
Tabitha shook her head, “I never would have pictured you to be that way.”
“That way?”
She laughed, “Yeah, unable to control yourself.”
I raised one eyebrow at her, “Really? I happen to remember a time that I fucked this one hot chick in her bedroom. She took my virginity.”
“I’m going to sleep.” Tabitha said with a smile and laid her head on my lap.
“Do you really need to be that close to my dick?” I asked.
She looked up at me, “We’ll see how good your self control is.”
I snorted, “Oh…it’s non existent when your mouth is that close to it.”
Tabitha rolled her eyes, “Night.”
I brushed her hair behind her ear, “Night.”
Chapter 23
“Wake up, you’re drooling all over my leg.” Vance said.
I wiped at my mouth, “Oh my god, I am NOT!” I said and sat up in the seat.
“I need a shower and sleep, come on.” He said with a chuckle.
“THIS…is your dorm?” I asked. It was huge compared to mine. “Where’s your roommate?”
“Don’t have one
.” He shrugged a shoulder and walked past me.
His dorm room was painted in light blue and greys, windows lined one side and the divider for the bedroom was a frosted glass squares with a barn style sliding door. “This isn’t fair.” I told him.
He yawned, “You can bitch about it later, I’m going to shower. You can join me if you want.” His shirt was already off, his jeans unbuttoned and his hat thrown onto the kitchen table.
I bit my bottom lip as I took in his body, he was much more mature than the first time I had seen his body. He started walking toward me and I backed up away with each step he took. My back hit the wall and he caged me in. We stared into each other’s eyes, didn’t say a word. He moved his head and kissed me, the kiss was gentle and made my stomach clench. His tongue invaded my mouth and I couldn’t stop myself from touching his chest. The way his muscles flexed under my fingers and the feel of tiny goose bumps covering his skin made me moan. In one swift movement he yanked my shirt over my head and lifted me up so I wrapped my legs around his waist. Vance unsnapped my jeans, my clit was throbbing and begging to be touched. When he broke from the kiss and started kissing down my neck he slipped his finger inside my panties and found my clit.
“Fuck…” He breathed out then lowered his head and circled a nipple with his slick hot tongue, before sucking it into his mouth and flicking it through the thin fabric of my bra. I threw my head back and twisted my fingers in his hair. “I can’t stop.” He said. His voice was raspy and vibrated against my chest.
“Then don’t.” I replied.
He looked up at me and pushed a finger inside my pussy, my eyes rolled back and I moaned. “Open your eyes.” He demanded. I opened them and stared into his eyes, “You’re going to keep them open, you’re going to keep your eyes on me…I’m going to put all the broken pieces back together. Only I can do that for you and I want you to always see me, not him not anybody else.”
I slammed my mouth against his, our teeth clanked together and I bit his bottom lip. Warm water hitting my skin made my eyes snap open, I was so caught up in the kiss I didn’t even realize he had walked into the bathroom and started the shower. We were both still in our jeans that were now soaking wet. My bra was quickly shed and dropped to the shower floor then Vance slid my pants down my legs. “Not gonna fuck you in the shower.” He told me.
“Aren’t you tired?” I panted out. He was sliding his fingers up and down my slit, dipping them inside of me then pulling the slickness up to my clit.
He chuckled, “Nope, sleep can wait.” He told me.
I finished unbuttoning his jeans and slid them down his legs, his massive cock sprung free. I wrapped my hand around it and stroked him. He grabbed my hand and stopped me. In record time we both washed our bodies, he shut the shower off after the last bubble was washed off. He didn’t bother to dry off and neither did I.
Vance picked me up and carried me to his bedroom, his cock nudging at my entrance the entire time. Without releasing his grip he laid me down on the bed and attacked my mouth. Our breathing was heavy, our kisses were frantic, our hands were gripping and groping at each other like we couldn’t get close enough. I wrapped my legs around his thighs and lifted my hips. “Condom…” He groaned and started to reach for one.
I stopped him, “No…I need to feel you…all of you. I’m on the pill.”
“Thank, fucking, god!” He pushed the tip inside of me. My pussy walls tightened at his size. “Relax.” He whispered against my lips. Slowly he eased himself inside of me, the fullness took my breath away, “Open your eyes, Tabitha.” He said. He was so deep inside of me, that the pain was bringing more pleasure. Each time he pulled back and eased back inside I felt myself getting wetter. I could feel every bulging vein of his cock, his eyes stayed locked with mine. His blonde hair fell over his eyes, I ran my fingers through it and pulled him down for a kiss. He pulled out all the way and slid his slick hard cock between my pussy lips and rubbed it up and down against my clit a few times until I was yanking on his hair trying to get him back inside of me.
“Please, Vance.” I whispered.
“Please what?” He said breathlessly.
“I…I need to come.” I said through clenched teeth.
He grinned at me and shoved back inside of me, “Open your fuckin’ eyes.” He demanded. With one forearm holding most of his weight off of me he tightly gripped my hip with his other hand. Grinding harder against me, “That’s it, fuck, I can feel you getting ready to come.”
When his lips touched mine and his tongue dove into my mouth, I fell over the edge. My orgasm ripped through me, the same time I felt him releasing inside of me. His cock jerking and pumping over and over until he stopped moving. We laid there breathing heavy, our skin dewy with water still. Slowly he pulled out of me, I immediately felt empty yet tender. Vance went into the bathroom and wet a washcloth down, then knelt between my legs and started to clean me up. He tossed the rag into a clothes hamper and laid down, I pulled the covers up and laid my head against his chest and one leg spread across his. “Should we feel guilty about that?” I asked.
He rubbed his fingers lightly up and down my spine, “I’ll never feel guilty for showing you how you should be treated.” He answered.
I laid there tracing his abs and felt his breathing level out, his soft snores told me he was finally asleep. I closed my eyes and let the sound of his beating heart lull me to sleep.
The following morning I woke up to the sound of Vidalia, “I want to see her…MOVE!” Before the bedroom door slid open. I pulled the blankets in around me as she crossed the short distance. “Tabitha!” She threw herself onto the bed, landing on me. “I’ve missed you…oh.my.god—are you NAKED?”
“Get the hell out!” Vance yelled and pulled her off the bed by her feet. She caught herself before she hit the floor. “Let her get out of bed you spaz!” He said as he pushed her out of his room.
I stretched, my entire body hurt, every muscle from head to toe was stiff. I got out of bed and grabbed my bag that was sitting at the foot of the bed. After going to the bathroom and brushing my teeth, I put on a pair of sweatpants and a t-shirt.
Vidalia and Vance were sitting on the couch talking while Drake rummaged through the refrigerator. When Vidalia heard me shut the door to the bedroom she jumped up from the couch and run over to hug me. “I was beginning to think you were going to sleep all day.” She said with a laugh.
I looked at the clock and it was almost noon, “Holy crap! I’m kinda hungry.”
Drake was making a sandwich and offered to make me one.
I sat down beside Vance and he wrapped his arm around my waist, pulling me to sit across his lap. Vidalia raised a questioning eyebrow but didn’t say anything. “So, start from the beginning, if you don’t mind.” Twenty minutes later I finished telling her about Naomi and Morgan’s relationship. “I…can’t believe it. Just—wow!”
“I don’t know what to do either. I mean, I’m hurt, pissed, I’ve spent months getting through the depression.”
Vidalia wiped away tears, “Don’t go back there, into that dark hole Tabitha. You were a shell of a human. I think his parents have every right to know where the little girl is though. Naomi owes them that much.”
“How do I just move on though? I thought he died loving me…he died loving another woman.”
Vance’s hand squeezed my hip, “Stop.” He said gruffly.
“You have a man right there that would walk through hell and back just to see you happy.” Vidalia whispered.
I looked at her in shock, “We can’t be together though!” I stood up from Vance’s lap. “We can’t be together!”
“Yes we fuckin’ can! Stop fuckin’ worryin’ about what people will say, for fuck sake! I’m a stepbrother! I’m not blood!” He was yelling at me. “I’ve fuckin’ loved you way before Morgan did. The very first time we kissed—I knew, I fuckin’ knew that we were meant for each other!”
Drake put his hand on Vance’s shoulder, “Calm down man
, we all know you love Tabitha.” He looked at me, “And we know you love Vance. I have no doubt in my mind that Morgan would just want you two to be happy.”
With those final words, I crumbled onto the couch, Vidalia pulled me into a hug, “Please, just talk to Vance about it. He’s right, you two are meant to be together. I know you’re hurting, let him help you…please?”
Vance knelt down in front of me and cupped my face in his hands, I looked up at him and my heart melted, “I mean it Tabitha, I love you. Let me help you get through this.”
I nodded my head and the walls I had built up over the last year, crumbled. I needed Vance in my life, no matter who said it was wrong. “I love you too.” I whispered.
He leaned in and kissed me until Vidalia made a gagging noise, “Gross, save that for later. We need to figure out what to tell Morgan’s parents. They’re going to be devastated.”
We all agreed that going home and talking to mom and Kevin was what needed to be done. “I want to wait until tomorrow though, I need a day to relax.” I told them. And they all agreed. Drake and Vidalia stayed and visited for another hour.
After they left the room filled with silence as Vance moved around the kitchen. I walked up behind him and wrapped my arms around his waist; my hands rest on his bare chest. He placed his hands on mine and took a few steady breaths before turning around and cupping my face in his hands. Our kiss started off slow, then turned deep. We were fighting against each other, trying to pour every ounce of emotion into it. I broke away from the kiss, dizzy and needing to feel more of him. And he knew it; he knew what I needed…because he needed it too.
Chapter 24
“Vance, please…please!” Tabitha whispered and pulled on my hair as I walked with her wrapped around me, to the bedroom.
I wanted her just as bad as she wanted me; I needed to feel every inch of her pressed against me. I needed to feel her shiver with pleasure; but what I needed most was to hear her tell me she loves me. “I think you might like pulling on my hair a bit much.” I said as I laid her down on the bed.
