“Riley, what are you doing? You have your clothes on. ” She looks up at me, tears welling in her eyes.
“Don’t be mad at me, Hunter. ” She looks so small and vulnerable.
I quickly shut off the water and step out. I reach for a towel and wrap it around my waist. She’s still in the shower when I lean in and reach for the hem of her shirt, so I can lift it over her head. I tug on the waistband of her sweatpants and pull them down to her ankles. She’s standing there in a lacy blue bra, her breasts spilling over the top and a fucking thong to match! Wrapping a towel around her, I pick her up as her pants fall to the floor. I walk into the bedroom with her body tucked into my chest. She’s shivering.
Sitting her on the edge of the bed I grab the shirt and sweats she wore earlier today. “Riley, take your bra and panties off and put these on. ” She sits there, staring into space.
I kneel on the floor right between her legs. God help me. Cupping her face with my hands I try to make her look at me. “Baby, I’m not mad at you; I could never be mad at you. Please take off your wet clothes. ” I plant little kisses all over her face until her hands get tangled in my hair. She pulls my mouth down to hers, biting my bottom lip. My dick instantly comes to life, making my towel slide off my waist to a heap on the floor. She reaches forward to take me in her hands as she starts pumping me up and down, her thumb gently stroking across the head.
“Baby, I won’t be able to stop if you keep doing that.” A groan escapes the back of my throat.
“Please don’t make me stop. I need you. ” She let’s go of me long enough to unhook her bra as it falls to the floor. Her breasts wiggle free. She’s amazing.
Picking her up I lay her down in the middle of my bed. I grasp the waistband of her panties and tug them over her rounded hips, tossing them to the floor. She’s so damn beautiful she takes my breath away.
“Are you sure this is what you want?” Lying down next to her I gather her in my arms.
“I want you to love me. ” She looks up at me with so much sadness, it breaks my heart as her tears slither down her cheeks.
“I do love you, Riley, but we don’t have to make love for me to love you. You’ve had a long day; you need to rest. ” Reaching over I dry her cheeks with the palm of my hands.
Standing up I pull on my sweat pants, then reach over to gather her clothes. When I turn around she’s kneeling on the edge of the bed. She lifts up her arms so I can slide her shirt over her head, her breasts inches from my mouth. I’m gritting my teeth to stop myself from tasting each one. Then she lies down so I can slip on her pants. When I’m done tugging them over her hips, she slips under the sheets.
After sliding under the covers I pull her close to me, and she breathes a sigh of relief. I don’t think I’ll be sleeping much tonight; my body’s begging for release, and with her ass pushing up against me I just might have to take a cold shower when she falls asleep. It’s at this time I realize I haven’t gotten laid since the first day she moved here. No wonder I feel like I’m about to burst.
Chapter Twenty
Riley
I had every intention of getting down and dirty with Hunter last night, but when I wrapped my hands around him, he was huge. My hands could barely touch my fingertips, and his length was longer than my two hands put together, with inches to spare. Can it happen that a man and a woman can’t have sex together because he’s too big for her? Oh dear God, I hope not!
His erection was pressed against me until I fell asleep, and it was all my fault. When I saw the towel fall to the floor, the need took over making me reach out for him.
His bronzed skin in contrast to his sun-bleached hair is stunning. His body is hard and lean, not an ounce of fat on him with a rocking six pack that any woman would want to glide her hands over. His eyes remind me of the sky on a clear day, but they get darker when he’s aroused. I found that out last night.
I’m all alone in his queen-sized bed and it smells just like him, making me want to stay in here forever. I’m wondering what time he woke up this morning; I never heard him get out of bed.
Last night I had the best sleep ever, void of nightmares. Maybe it’s because I had Hunter’s warm body pressed up against mine. If I keep acting strange like I did yesterday he’s going to send me packing tonight instead of Monday morning.
I need to go apologize for what happened last night, but I need to brush my teeth and shower first. Sticking my head out of the bedroom I look around and he’s nowhere to be found. He told me he had the day off from work, but he probably changed his mind after yesterday’s disaster.
The bathroom’s still steamy from my shower as I open the door. When I step out I see Hunter sitting at the island, a coffee in his hand. He looks up at me with a big smile on his face, showing me his pearly whites. My heart flutters in my chest; he’s not mad at me.
“Hey beautiful, did you sleep well last night?” He taps the chair on the side of him.
He wants me to sit next to him, and he doesn’t have to ask me twice. “I slept well. I’m sorry if I snored too much or hogged the whole bed. ”
I hear him chuckle. “No you don’t snore. I could fit five of you in my bed, so I had plenty of room. Besides, I wanted you close to me last night; you felt wonderful snuggled in my arms. ”
“Hunter, I want to apologize for…. ” He holds up his hand to quiet me.
“Baby, I’ve told you a thousand times, you don’t need to apologize to me for anything. I’m the one who told you I’d be happy with holding you all night long. I don’t expect anything else from you until you’re ready. ”
“I thought maybe you changed your mind and went to work. ” I didn’t mention anything more about last night.
“I realized when I went to make coffee, I didn’t have any. So I snuck downstairs to get some from Rosie. She even gave me some of her homemade blueberry muffins. I left them on the counter if you want one. ” He winks at me while taking another sip of coffee. “I called the gang to tell them that the bonfire is still on if they’d like to come. ”
When I walk up to him, he turns sideways so I’m standing between his legs. “Thank you, I don’t want you to change anything for me. This is something that you guys have been doing forever. ” I kiss him on the corner of his mouth. He hooks his thumbs in my belt loops and pulls me in, his lips crashing over mine. Then his cell phone starts playing, “See You Again” by Carrie Underwood. I didn’t know he listened to country music. Who would’ve thought?
Hunter
“Aren’t you going to answer your phone?” Riley asks while her lips are still pressed to mine.
“No, it will go to voicemail. I’ll call them back later.” I pull away from her long enough to catch my breath. “Eat your breakfast so I can take you driving again. I want you to have your license so I won’t have to cart your ass around all the time. ” I see the smirk forming on those luscious lips. I throw my head back laughing. She’s priceless!
I was glad when my cell phone rang—I needed the distraction. The way my body reacts to her is unlike anything I’ve ever experienced before. It’s like she’s an outlet and I’m the plug: when the two of us connect, the electricity that flows through my body is erotic. I can only imagine what it will feel like when I finally get the chance to… plug in…
I checked my phone when we got back from her driving lesson. It was Alex. He can’t make it tonight because he made a date earlier in the week. I told him no worries, I’ll see him at work on Monday. Riley went back to her house to grab her cell; she wanted to talk to Ashley. I told her to meet me by the pool when she was ready. I needed to do my laps since I hadn’t worked for two days.
I was just finishing when she strolled up, sat on the edge, and dangled her feet in the water. It took every bit of self-control I had not to grab her, slide her down the length of me and ravish that pretty little mouth with my tongue. If I keep thinking with the wrong head I’m going to have to take another cold shower like I did last night.
She
looks down at me. “I could never get tired of watching you swim; you’re like poetry in motion. ” I try not to chuckle at her choice of words.
I get out so I can sit close to her. I take her hand in mine and turn it over so I can place a tender kiss on her wrist. I hear her gasp, as her cheeks flush a crimson red.
“Did you get a chance to talk to Ashley?” I ask, cutting the sexual tension.
“Yeah, I did. It was nice to get a chance to talk to her. It makes me sad a little, though. ” Her cheeks puff out as she lets out a pent up breath.
“Why would that make you sad, baby?” I stroke her hand with my thumb, trying to encourage her to continue.
“Our lives are so different now; it feels like we’re worlds apart. ” She looks depressed since she spoke to her. I don’t like that.
“Why don’t you ask your dad if she can come for a visit? Maybe she can come for a week or so before school starts. ” She jumps up so fast I nearly fall back into the pool. “That’s a great idea; I’m going to ask Dad now. I’ll be right back. ”
I decide now is a perfect time to get things ready for tonight. I’m just about set up when Connor comes strolling down the beach. “You’re a little early, what’s up?” I meet him halfway.
“I had something I wanted to talk to you about before everyone else gets here. ” I can’t read his expression, so I have no idea what it is.
“I wanted you to be the first to know… I’m not going to be a dad. ” He looks sad, then it hits me.
“Oh man, I’m sorry. Did she have a miscarriage?” I would have thought he’d be glad to be off the hook.
“No, apparently she was never pregnant to start with, but she was trying. She wanted me to have sex with her all the time without a condom. I don’t know who else she’s been screwing so I told her no. Yesterday I found some tampons hidden in my closet, so I confronted her about it. I threw all her shit out on the front lawn. She’s on her way home. ” He shrugs his shoulders. He looks beaten.
“It’s a good thing you were smart, because she came back hoping to get pregnant. Now that’s fucked up. Look, you should be proud of yourself—you were going to do the right thing. That’s more than a lot of men would do, including me. ” I hate to admit it but the last thing I want is to have a kid. Although when I see Riley walking towards me, I think maybe it wouldn’t be so bad if they looked like their mother.
We had a great night sitting around shooting the shit. Everyone was happy for Connor, now the girls were back to their matchmaking skills, even trying to get him to join one of those online dating sites. I’ve heard some horror stories from people who have done it—he’d be better on his own.
Riley
I needed to call Ashley about my inexperience in the bedroom, and to ask her if one size does fit all. She laughed so hard she peed her pants. She couldn’t catch her breath for like five minutes.
She tried to explain to me that it’s like wearing a pair of skinny jeans. To put them on you lie on the bed, wiggle them up over your hips, suck in your tummy while you zip them up and button them. They might feel tight when you first put them on, but the longer you wear them the better it feels.
When I was on the verge of tears, she finally gave me some good advice. She told me as long as he could slide it in, all I needed to do was relax and I would be fine. She also informed me that 95% of the female population would kill to take my place and she’d be in that percentile.
Hunter and I have been home for about forty minutes now. He’s relaxing on the couch with his feet on the table. His hands are clasped behind his head, eyes closed. I don’t know if I should go to bed or sit on the couch beside him. So I decide to sit down on the edge of the couch before I ask, “You coming to bed?” My voice cracks. Shit, way to sound sexy.
He peeks at me with one eye open. “Go to bed baby, I’ll be there in a few minutes. ”
Walking into the bedroom I fight to hold back the tears that are about to escape. Changing into my boy shorts with a tank top I slip under the nice cool sheets. They smell like him—a mixture of his soap with that spicy scent that’s all his. I can’t hold back the tears anymore; my heart feels like its breaking.
He tries to open the door as quietly as possible, but it squeaks. Walking over to the bed he pulls back the sheets and slides in next to me. His arms circle around me just like last night and I feel a lump catch in my throat as a sob escapes me. He gently rolls me over, brushing his fingertips lightly over my cheeks. “Baby, why are you crying? What’s wrong? Please talk to me. ”
“It’s Friday; tonight was supposed to be our first time.” Once I admit this to him, I start to cry even harder.
He leans his head against mine as he sucks in a deep breath. “I want you more than you will ever know. ”
Suddenly I feel very brave. “Don’t tell me, just show me. ” If he rejects me again, I will die.
A growl rumbles from deep inside his chest as he crushes his mouth to mine. His tongue slips through my parted lips. He’s demanding, rough, and there’s nothing gentle about this kiss. The warmth’s spreading through my belly and I can feel the dampness between my legs.
Kneeling on the bed he picks me up so I’m in front of him. Brushing the hair off my damp cheeks he asks, “Is this what you want? Because once I’ve tasted you I will have to have you every day for the rest of my life. ”
Resting my hands on his broad shoulders I look up into his lust-filled eyes as I nod my head. He grabs the hem of my tank top and pulls it off, throwing it to the floor. His hands cup my breasts, while his thumbs circle against my nipples. He lowers his head, capturing one in his warm mouth. I can’t help but cry out as I feel an awakening deep within me.
He lays me down gently on the bed, and hooking his thumbs he slides my shorts down to my ankles. I have no idea where they went; I’m too busy watching his eyes travel slowly up and down my body. He hovers over me for an instant before putting all of his weight on his elbows, his erection pressed against my thigh.
His mouth sears along my throat while his tongue flicks against my pulse, making me arch into him, wanting more. His tongue glides down my cleavage, stopping to taste my very erect nipples along the way. His mouth leaves a trail of heat along my ribs, then runs down the curve of my stomach. His hands gently spread my legs apart as his lips work their magic up my inner thighs. My head tips back as my eyes close. I feel the slickness pooling at my center, ready to give him all that is me.
Hunter
The ecstasy is evident on her face. “Riley, open your eyes, I want to watch you come. ”
She gazes up at me as I lie face down at her center, reaching for her hands that are fisted in the sheets. She can’t move, she’s all mine. I run my tongue up the length of her. She’s so wet, so sweet and she tastes so fucking good. Flicking my tongue over her hardened bud I hear a sharp intake of breath. She’s closed her eyes again.
“Open your eyes, baby, I want to watch you. ” Her eyes lock on mine.
Grabbing both of her small hands in one of mine I prop them on her stomach as I sink one finger inside her wet folds while circling my tongue on her clit. Her legs tighten around my shoulders, pinning me in place. When I sink one more finger inside of her it almost sends her over the edge. As I pull her into my mouth her body spasms against my fingers that I’m still thrusting inside of her. “Hunter, yes just like that. ” She screams out as her body convulses around me.
Licking my way up her body I feel my erection wanting to spring free. She opens her eyes, and cups my face in her hands as she crushes her mouth to mine. I’m wondering if she likes the taste of herself as much as I do.
“Your tongue has some amazing skills,” she whispers shyly.
“Only for you, baby. ” I whisper back.
She nuzzles my neck. “I love you Hunter. ”
“I love you more. ” Giving her one more kiss I get up from the bed.
She sits up. “ Where you going?”
“To get a condom. ” She jumps out of b
ed and grabs my hand.
“You don’t need one—I’m on the pill. ” Sitting on the edge of the bed she slides her hands in the waistband of my shorts, sliding them slowly down my hips. My erection springs free, as she skims her hands up the length of me.
“I want to feel you inside me, now. ” She grabs my hips while licking her way up my chest, stopping long enough to flick her tongue over my very erect nipples, until her mouth takes possession of mine. I let her assault my mouth with her tongue, while she nips at my lips playfully with the edge of her teeth. I’m letting her take control so she can set the pace. I’ll follow wherever she leads me.
She lies down on the bed and pulls me down on top of her, the warmth between her legs rubbing up against me. Kissing the swells of her breasts I run my tongue up her throat to her jaw, then back down. Her hands are clutching me as her nails dig into my arms. I think she might have drawn blood, but I don’t care.
“I’ve never had sex without a condom on, ever. Are you sure it’s okay?” I know she would never trap me, but I want her to know I’m clean.
She nods her head. “Well, today’s your lucky day.” She wraps her legs around my hips while sliding her hand slowly down my stomach until she finds what she wants. I can’t help but groan when her hand tightens around me as she places me at her slick entrance.
Placing all my weight on my elbows I cradle her face in my hands so I can watch her as I slip inside. She never takes her eyes off of mine as I slowly enter her. It takes every last ounce of willpower I have not to bury myself deep inside of her in one thrust. I hear a whimper escape her throat as her eyes close briefly, before locking with mine. She’s so fucking tight I’m afraid I’m going to hurt her.
