Saving Our Hearts

by Velvet Reed

  Placing my palm in the valley between her breasts, I slowly glide it down her stomach. “Lay back for me, Sweet Cheeks.” She does so willingly. When her back’s on the hood and my hand has made it to her jeans, I unsnap them and lower them down while she lifts her hips to help me.

  After I’ve removed her shoes, her jeans and panties, I stand back and take my fill. There isn’t a day goes by when I don’t acknowledge that Gracie is the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen. But by God, as she lays here completely naked, her auburn hair flared out against the yellow hood, her creamy skin glowing, her eyes hooded under thick lashes and a sexy smile on her lips, I know the image displayed before me is one of utter perfection. The sight of her laid out for only me to see, enjoy and in a few minutes devour, is one that will be burned into my brain for all eternity.

  “Take your pants off, Cole” she demands, but I have other plans for her first.

  “I’ll get to that in a minute, baby. You just lay there and let me have some fun.”

  I place my hands on her knees and slowly slide them up her thighs, all the while maintaining eye contact with her. A shiver runs through her body as I go higher, her body responding to my every touch. When I get to the apex, I don’t hesitate to run my finger along her slick folds, her excitement more than evident by the glistening wetness that’s gathering there. She’s so ready for me.

  I lean in and follow the path my hands took, kissing and licking up one thigh, down the other and back again until I return to her sweet pussy. Her scent is intoxicating, and it draws me in with the knowledge I’m the one she desires. Her legs move restlessly so I push them up until her knees are bent, her feet are flat on the hood, and she’s spread wide open for me. “Now, that is the sexiest fucking sight I’ve ever seen in my life,” I praise.

  The moment my tongue slides between her folds, Gracie bucks wildly. “Oh, God! Yes!” she pants. I tease her tight little nub with the tip of my tongue, flicking it repeatedly and eliciting more moaning from my girl. Her hands delve into my hair, and she tugs at it with each lick I make. When I suck her clit into my mouth, she yells my name and pulls my hair harder. I know she isn’t far away so I tease her entrance with my finger before pushing inside.

  Gracie’s words are unintelligible as I continue giving her pleasure. “Al...most there,” she manages to get out, and I can feel her legs tremble and her core tightens around my finger. Nipping, sucking and soothing with a lick, I add another finger, pumping it in and out of her, and then she’s falling over the edge, screaming as her climax races through her body.

  The good thing about scrubs is that they slip off with ease. I’ve shucked my pants and freed my hard cock before Gracie has even come back down from her orgasm. Wrapping my hands around her thighs, I pull her closer to the edge. The dreamy sated gleam in her eyes only makes my hunger for her heighten. She’s been back on the pill for over two weeks now, so this will be the first time since before Cooper was born without a condom.

  “I want you inside me, Cole.” she whispers and moves her legs so they’re wrapped loosely around my waist. I grab hold of my cock and rub the head against her pussy.

  “Is this what you want, baby?” I smirk, but I don’t expect her to reach between her legs, grab hold of my cock and guide it to her waiting entrance.

  The second I slide in that small bit, I’m done for. I thrust forward and fill her completely, groaning in ecstasy at the feel of her hot, wet core gripping my throbbing length like a vise. I’ve missed this. I’ve missed feeling her without any barrier between us.

  Moving slowly at first to savor the contact, I glide my hands up her stomach and cup her breasts. Her beaded nipples are begging to be touched so I rub my thumbs across them as I continue the gentle rocking of my hips into hers. “Cole, please,” she begs.

  “Please what, baby? Tell me what you need.”

  I give a harder thrust, and she gasps, “Please, oh, please, I need it harder. I need you to move faster.” Her words somehow make me impossibly harder than I already was and break my resolve of taking my time. Letting go of her breasts, I grab hold of her legs for support and pick up my pace.

  “Damn, this feels like heaven. My cock belongs right here, right here in this sweet pussy, Gracie,” I rasp through labored breaths.

  “Harder,” she demands. Her head moving restlessly from side to side and her hands are clutching for something to grip onto. When she doesn’t find purchase on the hood, they fly up to her beautiful breasts that are bouncing with each forward thrust I deliver, and she plays with those babies herself. Holy shit! As she pinches her nipples and pulls on them causing them to elongate I’m overwhelmed by the eroticism the image creates.

  Grabbing her ass and tilting her pelvis higher I pound into her at a punishing rate. “Fuck yeah. Damn, that feels amazing,” I grit out through clenched teeth as each stroke bringing me closer to the precipice.

  “Yes! Right there. Yes!” Gracie shouts as her second climax is ripped from her body. Her pussy clenching down on my cock as the waves of her orgasm rush through her breaks me and I’m shouting her name, my release consuming me.

  Still seated firmly inside her, I stand there and try to catch my breath. Gracie’s eyes are closed as her hands fall from her breasts to rest on the hood beside her. A smile starts to creep across her face before she takes a deep breath that arches her back and pushes her breasts in the air. “Now that was one hell of an engagement present,” she says and sighs contently.

  I can’t help but chuckle at her words, and when she opens her eyes and meets mine, the love and lust that still linger in them has my cock twitching involuntarily. She raises an eyebrow. “You ready for round two already?”

  That goddamn sexy little grin of hers would have any man panting for round two, but I know if we don’t head back soon, our families will worry and send out a search party. I reach out my hands which she takes and pull her up to sit. “As much as I would love to take you again, baby, we do have to go celebrate with the others. Mom’s probably already freaking out that we’re not back yet.”

  Gracie wraps her hands around my neck and kisses me quickly. “I guess you’re right.” She looks thoughtful for a second before continuing, “I should feel really bad,” she confesses.

  I’m confused by that comment. “Don’t feel bad, Gracie. They’re all big enough to look after themselves.”

  She shakes her head. “No, I don’t mean about them. I mean I should feel bad about letting them look after Cooper while we’re here having sexcapades, in your parents’ garage, and on our car no less.” She pauses. “But I don’t feel the slightest bit guilty after those two unbelievable orgasms.”

  The caveman in me puffs his chest proudly. “That was incredibly hot, Sweet Cheeks. We definitely have nothing to feel guilty about.” I wink. “Come on. We’ll have to go inside to clean up before we head back.” I give her one last kiss and pull out of her. Quickly gathering our clothes in one arm, I help her off the hood with the other, and she wraps her arm around my waist as we make our way inside my parents’ house.

  “I really love sex without condoms, but damn it’s messy,” she giggles. I follow her gaze and notice the wetness on her thighs. My cum marks her as mine and my male ego soars.

  “Yeah, it’s messy, but I can’t help feeling really happy that I’ve marked you with my seed,” I say.

  Gracie stops walking and rolls her eyes at me. “Really, babe? I would have thought the fact that I birthed your child proved I’ve already been marked with your seed. But hey, I’m totally up for a replay of what just happened any time you like,” she giggles.

  The tinkling sound of her giggles and the easy smiles on her face as we clean-up are the perfect indication that we’re moving forward and putting the last few months behind us. I’ve never been happier than I am today.

  Chapter 27

  Sam...

  The moment the Camaro pulls up and Cole steps out, I know exactly what has held them up. I start laughing to myself. Everyone
else who was involved in Cole’s proposal has been here for almost an hour already and waiting to celebrate.

  “What’s so funny?” Ashley asks, coming up behind me placing a hand on my back, causing warmth to flood my veins.

  “Check out his hair and I’ll give you one guess as to what’s taken them so long to get here,” I smirk.

  Ashley moves in front of me and looks out at them. “Oh, my God! They blew us all off to have sex!”

  I laugh again at her choice of words. “Judging by the smile in Cole’s face, I'm pretty sure he blew something.”

  Ashley turns around and playfully slaps my chest. “Ewww, don’t be disgusting”

  “Who’s being disgusting?” Charlie asks as he joins us at the front door.

  “Ash thinks it’s gross that Cole and Gracie are late because he blew his load in your sister,” I chuckle, earning another slap from Ash and a scowl from Charlie.

  “Jesus, Sam! Does the word sister not mean anything to you? I don’t need to be hearing shit like that.” He looks out the door as the newly engaged couple make their way up the path. “You’d think they’d fix themselves up so it wasn’t so damn obvious,” he mutters, shaking his head. Cole’s hair has that freshly fucked look, and their clothes look a little worse for wear.

  I watch as Cole whispers in Gracie’s ear, and she looks up at him adoringly, her smile exuberantly bright. The love between these two is unmistakable, and I couldn’t be more ecstatic that they’re going to spend the rest of their lives making each other happy. I can’t, however, let the opportunity to mock their activities go astray. “Glad you two finally decided to grace us with your presence,” I say in greeting.

  They both look up at the three of us standing at the door. “We had a bit of car trouble,” Cole smirks. I’ll just bet they had car trouble.

  “Oh, really? You should have called me or Dad to come fix it,” Charlie adds and Gracie’s eyes widen ever so slightly.

  Cole clears his throat and rubs his hand across his face. “It was nothing I couldn’t handle on my own,” he replies. Gracie’s cheeks tinge pink.

  “It took a while,” Ashley says next, and I’m holding back more laughter as we tease them. “Must have been hard work too, since you looked all mussed up and your hairs all out of place,” Ashley continues.

  Cole knows they’ve been caught, and he tries to hide his own smile. “Yeah, well, when a job needs to be done, I always give it one hundred and ten percent effort.”

  Gracie shakes her head as Charlie adds, “What kind of problem did you have exactly?”

  “What’s with the inquisition for God’s sake?” Gracie snaps and moves to come inside.

  “I’ll just go pop the hood and make sure everything’s all right,” Charlie tells her smiling as if he got her.

  However, none of us are expecting it when Gracie turns around and replies with a bright mischievous smile on her face, “The hood's perfect, Charlie. There's definitely nothing wrong with the hood. From personal experience, I’d have to say that I’m a thousand percent satisfied with everything that goes on under and on top of the hood.”

  Charlie, Ashley and my mouths drop to the floor with the implication of Gracie’s words. They fucked on the hood of the Camaro? Gracie smiles sweetly at Charlie than winks at Cole before walking away. Cole bursts out laughing and slaps me hard on the back. “You were all asking for that one,” he says and follows Gracie.

  “Where the hell would they have gone to have sex on the hood of the car?” Ashley asks, looking at me. “That’s seriously hot.”

  The heated look in her eyes has my dick stirring to life. While we’ve been seeing each other a hell of a lot more since Gracie came home from the hospital, we haven’t really gotten physical yet. We’ve made out a lot; I mean like high school kids, and I’ve been fine with it, but right now with the way she’s looking at me and with thoughts of sex on cars at the forefront of my mind, I’m praying we take the next step soon... real soon.

  In an attempt to control myself and stop my heated blood traveling south, I change the subject. “Let’s go celebrate their engagement, shall we?” I grab Ashley’s hand and lead her back toward everyone else with Charlie mumbling to himself about never being able to look at that car the same way again.

  When we walk into the living room, everyone’s hugging and congratulating them once more, no one really noticing the state they arrived in until Olivia comes barreling in from the kitchen. “Where on earth have you two been? I was about to send the boys out looking for you.”

  Cole and Gracie share a look, and Ashley giggles beside me.

  Olivia continues to fuss over them both waiting for an answer when April comes into the room holding Cooper. “About time,” she says and then she looks her brother over, rolls her eyes and shakes her head. “Seriously? You two couldn’t keep your hands off each until everyone went home later?”

  Olivia looks at her slightly confused. Bryan chokes out a cough and leaves the room and everyone else starts laughing. Olivia takes in Gracie’s bright-red cheeks and the smug look on Cole’s face as an admission of guilt. “Please tell me, you didn’t run off for a quickie in your car somewhere. For goodness sake, Cole, Gracie’s your fiancée now. She deserves better than that,” she admonishes.

  “It wasn’t inside the car that’s for damn sure,” Charlie grumbles as he and a few others head for the back deck snickering.

  “Oh, my,” Olivia mutters and fans herself dramatically. “Well, I’d hope you at least ensured there were no spectators. Your father and I certainly learned that lesson the hard way.”

  “Oh, my God!” April splutters at the same time John reprimands “Olivia!”

  “What?” she asks innocently as a few of us, with the exception of her husband and children, laugh at her admission. “If I have to hear about their sex life, then they can hear about mine. Don’t be embarrassed, darling. We can still keep up with this lot.” She winks at John.

  “I’m not related to these people. I’m taking Cooper and protecting his innocent little ears. Poor baby will end up in therapy like I’m about to if he hears anymore,” April states and follows John, who has a huge grin on his face, out of the room. Guess the old man still has it in him.

  Cole looks slightly mortified, but then I see the devilish glint in his eyes he used to get when we were younger and up to no good. “It’s all good, Mom. Trust me when I say the only spectators were the hood of the Camaro and everything else inside the garage at your house.”

  Olivia’s left speechless as Cole grabs Gracie’s hand, kisses Olivia on the cheek, and heads out to join everyone on the deck. Olivia looks at Ashley and I since we’re the only ones left in the living room with her, and realization dawns that they had sex at her house. “I swear to God, if he touched anything that’s already set up for the party, I’m going to hurt the horny little bastard,” she huffs, then hurries after Cole leaving us laughing in her wake.

  “I love this, you know,” Ashley says absently.

  “What do you love?” I ask and guide her around so she’s in my arms.

  “This. Everyone together. Family.” She shrugs before continuing, “I’ve always had Gracie’s family, but now I feel like I’m part of an even bigger family, you know?” She huffs a small laugh. “The teasing and playful banter, the honesty and the love. I only had my grandma, so I never experienced all this growing up. It’s incredible, and I love it. I love how crazy everyone is and how they can all laugh at each other and themselves.”

  The Tierney’s have always been carefree and relaxed. Even with all their money and social standing, they’ve never given off that sense of entitlement most wealthy people exude. I’ve been extremely lucky to consider them my adopted family, but as crazy as it seems, somehow the combination of them with the Rivers’ family has just made the dynamic even more perfect.

  “I love it, too. And I know what you mean because I feel the same. I’d like to consider Gracie, Bryan, Charlie and Ruby my family now also," I confess.<
br />
  Ashley's eyes meet mine with apprehension clouding them. “What about me? Do you class me as family?”

  This thing between us is still new, but surely she must see the difference. As we continue to look at each, I guess I need to make myself clear. “I see Gracie as my sister, Ash. I see Bryan and Charlie in an uncle and a cousin type way. I definitely don’t see you like that.”

  She lowers her eyes, so we’re no longer making eye contact and her shoulders sag. She needs to know. Placing a crocked finger under her chin, I raise her head back up and keep her there until she meets my gaze. When she does, her eyes are glazed, and my heart clenches at her misunderstanding. “I don’t see you like that because the things I want to do to you, the things I feel for you are pretty much illegal when it comes to your sister.”

  Her eyes widen infinitesimally and her gorgeously plump, kissable lips form a small ‘O’ in realization. “What I feel for you and how I see you, Ashley, is so much more. Everything about you means more.”

  I only just get the last word out before she throws her arms around my neck and pulls my head down to claim my mouth in a searing kiss. Her touch, her taste, it’s consuming, and so I lose myself in her. Here in this moment, with unspoken promises of all that’s to come between me and the beautiful woman in my arms... I surrender.

  Chapter 28

  Grace...

  Being engaged to Cole has somehow put a spring in my step and made me happier than I ever dreamed possible. It’s been a few days since his extraordinary proposal and the little celebration at our house, where there was lots of discussion about wedding plans. Olivia, April and Ashley were all pulling for some big extravaganza, but honestly, I never imagined my special day like that.

  Something small and intimate in a beautiful setting is what I’ve always dreamed about.

  When everyone left that night, we put Cooper to bed and ended up in the bath together. The topic of the wedding came up again, and when I shared my thoughts with him, Cole seemed to like my idea about something smaller as much as I did. We agreed that we didn’t want to wait too long either and a summer wedding sounded like the perfect idea, so with it already being April, we'd have to start planning as soon as possible.
