Easy to Love You

by Megan Smith

  Jackson picked up a shot and downed it, “You couldn’t have just answered the question?” He slammed down the glass on the coffee table.

  “Hell no! No one wants to hear how many times that’s happened.” Chloe said with a straight face. I was about to wipe my tears away, but stopped midway to my face and gawked at her. Then I saw the red creeping up her neck and she burst out laughing, while Jackson just sat there stunned. After a few minutes he turned his glare on Hailey and she gave it right back. Hailey had known what she was starting and she wasn’t going to be intimidated by Jackson.

  “Alright Hunter,” Chloe smirked. Most of the time this girl was prim and proper, but sometimes she let her hair down, and tonight was one of those nights. “Most daring place you’ve had sex.”

  Hunter swore under his breath and shifted his body towards me; I reached over and started for his zipper again. His eyes snapped to mine and held my gaze. I knew he was thinking about that night, that night was heaven for me.

  He kissed the tip of my nose and looked over at Chloe; I noticed he wasn’t making eye contact with my brothers because they were going to hate this answer. “On the bike in Bentley’s garage.” That night came rushing back to me; he made me feel things I’d never felt before. You would’ve thought it would’ve been awkward with trying to keep the bike steady, but it wasn’t at all.

  My brothers all cursed at the same time while giving Hunter a death glare, I’m so glad I’m wrapped in his arms right now.

  “Alright, Coop,” Cooper nodded his head, “Have you and Mase ever tag teamed?”

  It felt like someone sucked all the air out of the room. Everyone was waiting for the pin to drop. Cooper looked at Mason and they both smirked, just slightly, and only for a second, but I caught it. I was a wiz at reading them both. The bigger question was, with whom? I observed Hailey and Jaylinn who were sitting next to each other on the floor. Both of their faces were unreadable, which was shocking, because Hailey was the easiest to read. At the same time, both girls picked up a lemon, dipped it in sugar, picked up a shot glass and raised it above their heads to Mason and Cooper. Hmm, they either already knew or they didn’t want to find out.

  Mason and Cooper didn’t reach for the glasses though, only the lemons. They put them skin side into their mouths then reached for the shot glass and pulled the girls back to their laps. At the same time they poured the shots in the girl’s mouths and then bent down and gave them the lemons. I groaned, wanting Hunter to do that to me. He must have been thinking the same thing because he cupped my chin and tilted my head up to kiss. Gently at first, then his tongue was seeking more, when it collided with mine I moaned and it only made him deepen the kiss. This was our first kiss like this in front of my brothers; most of the time Hunter was respectful of them, and they appreciated that.

  “You’re going to get pregnant like that, oh wait, you already did.” Jackson deadpanned.

  Hunter and I tore our lips apart, he rested his forehead against mine, leaving us both breathless.

  “Well?” Chloe asked Mason and Cooper.

  Both shrugged and eyeballed Hunter. Wait a minute! I sat up straight and eyed both of my brothers and then Hunter. Hunter was like stone, no emotion. I looked at the girls, trying to put the pieces together but nothing was connecting.

  Cooper playfully punched Mason in the shoulder; both of them were lounging on the sofa, “First girl you slept with.”

  “Dude, you know the answer already, Lily.” Cooper glanced at me, very quickly. Mason started coughing.

  That was it, my missing piece. I narrowed my eyes at Hailey and she looked away. Then I did the same to Jaylinn and she narrowed her eyes right back at me. Then I studied Hunter, he was still stone, no emotion. He never flinched when I was scrutinizing him.

  A laugh bubbled up from deep inside me, “Are you fucking kidding me?” My head fell back and I laughed my ass off. Everyone lost their virginity to Lily, and then it sunk in. They’d all slept with her on the same night, at the same damn time. What the fuck?

  After the laughter subsided and realization had dawned on me, Hunter reached behind my neck and brought me towards him. He talked low into my ear, “I didn’t sleep with her that night, but they don’t know that.”

  I breathed a sigh of relief; I turned my head slightly and kissed his cheek.

  The rest of the night continued the same way, everyone was pretty tanked by the end of it. Jaylinn had curled herself up on Cooper’s lap and was passed out. Jackson and Chloe were talking quietly to themselves from the recliner they were perched in. Chloe was a lot of fun tonight, most of the time she was quiet and stayed to herself, but I loved it when she really let go with us. Hailey was snuggled up in the corner of a recliner on the opposite side of the room. Mason lay on the side of it, knees bent, arms crossed over his face.

  “Psst.” Mason dropped his arms and looked in my direction. I nodded my head towards Hailey. “Go get her. The extra bedroom is yours for the night.”

  He didn’t move right away and put his arms back over his face. I shrugged my shoulders at Hunter. A few minutes later he groaned, I looked up into Hunter’s eyes and he winked at me. Mason climbed off the floor and went to Hailey. He didn’t say anything to her, I’m not sure she would have heard him anyway, she was pretty toasted. He collected her up in his arms and went down the hallway to the stairs.

  I sighed and Hunter did the same. We sat there a little while longer before my eyes grew heavy. Hunter followed Mason’s lead and took me upstairs, where he undressed me and settled us in bed. He kissed me on the lips, then my neck, shoulder, the valley between my breasts, and continued all the way down my stomach. He stopped and looked up at me; tears were pooled in my eyes.

  “I love you, everything about you, CC. Never doubt that.” Hunter said in a husky voice.

  He kissed me where my bandage was from my C-section and the tears spilled over. He left me breathless.

  It was a perfect ending to a perfect night.

  I was awakened to the same kisses I went to bed with. When I stirred, Hunter groaned and placed a kiss on my neck, then dragged his tongue up my neck to that sweet spot behind my ear and sucked lightly on it.

  “Marry me?” He tested his luck again.

  If he kept this up there’d be no way I could keep telling him no. Hell, I was half tempted to tell him to drag me to City Hall tomorrow, but I knew I would be upset with myself; I wanted the perfect wedding for my perfect husband to be. I knew he really wouldn’t care one way or the other, but I didn’t want any more memories of the day I could have lost both him and Ryder.

  “Soon, I promise.” I moaned as he flicked his tongue on the same spot he was kissing. “Let’s pick a date at least, ok? It’ll give us something to look forward to.”

  He placed one last kiss and then rolled onto his back, “Ok, if that’s all you’ll give me for now I’ll deal with that.”

  I turned over, stretched my casted arm over his chest and twined my good leg with his and then placed a kiss in the nook of his neck. “So what’re you thinking? It can’t be this month or next, I know how you think.”

  When he chuckled his chest vibrated against my ear, “Three weeks, two days.” I mumbled, not really meaning for him to hear.

  He chuckled again, “You’re counting too?”

  I lifted my head and gazed into his eyes, “I miss you babe.”

  He flipped me so I was on my back and he was hovering over me. He was paying extra care to not put any of his weight on my stomach. “Be careful,” I laughed. “You might get breast milk all over you. God only knows when this shit stops, I’m not even breast feeding.”

  “I don’t care,” he pressed himself into me showing me just how much he didn’t care. “This is the longest waiting game of my life. I know we only have a few more to go, but it’s going to kill me.”

  I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him closer to me, I wanted so badly to wrap my legs around his hips and get him closer but I just couldn’t. It wa
s my ankle that still caused most of my pain.

  “Really?” Hunter and I both jumped at the same time but didn’t pull away. “Even with her all banged up you are still trying to get some.” Hailey said. I didn’t have to see her face to know she was smiling.

  “If you don’t get the fuck out of my room you’re going to get another show, smart ass.” Hunter said, smiling down at me.

  “No Hunter, don’t stop.” I said playing along.

  Hailey made a gagging noise, “That was more than I needed to hear, Kenz. Get your asses up, Mason is making breakfast.”

  I was shocked, I mouthed to Hunter, “Mason making breakfast?”

  He shrugged his left shoulder, still being mindful of his body weight. “The things you do when you’re in love.” He responded loud enough for Hailey to hear.

  She was tapping her foot, waiting for us. “Hails you really are going to get a show if you don’t leave.” I clarified to her.

  “Who cares? It’s not like I haven’t seen you two naked enough. Plus, Hunter has a nice ass.” She said, snickering. My eyes widened as Hunter smiled, he really did have a nice ass and he knows it, but I really didn’t expect to hear that from Hailey. “But really though, you have a lot of balls Hunter, with her brothers under the same roof.”

  “My roof, and they wouldn’t be just walking in without,” Hunter raised his voice, “knocking!”

  He had a point, my brothers, or even Chloe or Jaylinn, for that matter wouldn’t have walked in without knocking first. Only Hailey would feel comfortable enough to do that.

  “I did knock, asshole.” She walked further into the room and her footsteps stopped by the end of the bed. “I need my girl for the day, so once breakfast is over I’m taking her out.”

  I held my breath for a minute, realization setting in again. I couldn’t just jump out of bed and run off with Hailey the way I used to. I had a baby to think about first, plus how would I get around while I was still all banged up?

  Hunter leaned his weight on his elbows and brushed his thumbs over my cheeks, “You’re fine, I’ll be here with Ryder.” Hunter said just loud enough for me to hear. I nudged him with my arm and foot reminding him that I still had them to deal with. “You can do it, Hailey will help you.”

  “I can hear you over there whispering, I haven’t left yet.” Hailey reached over and tickled my foot; I yanked it up away from her.

  “Have I ever told you that you’re annoying?” I groaned and slid the covers down so I could see her, but careful not to push them too much or Hailey would have another great view of Hunter’s ass.

  “I have perfect timing. I broke this shit up before your brothers heard you moaning Hunter’s name and ruined our plans for the day.” She stated as a matter of fact. She walked a little closer to us and Hunter shifted his body to cover mine from Hailey. “Now,” she slapped Hunter on his ass, “get your hot little asses out of this bed and downstairs. Chop. Chop.” Then she turned on her heel and left.

  Hunter dropped his head onto my shoulder, “Remind me to always lock that door when she’s around.”

  I giggled; he pulled himself off me and quickly went to the door to lock it. He came and sat on the edge of the bed, “I’m going to take a cold shower, and then we can go eat ok?”

  “Hell no, I need one too.” I smirked at him.

  “And who am I to deny you?” He came around to the other side of the bed, pulled behind my knees and settled between my legs before he hoisted me up. Off to the bathroom we went.

  I carried CC to the bathroom and placed her on the sink, just like I had the other night. I got both of her casts covered so they wouldn’t get wet. After I was done I stood between her legs, cupped her face and kissed her. Her lips were a favorite of mine, right alongside her ass and her eyes. She gasped at the feel of me; she reached with her good arm behind me and pulled me forward. I was right there; just a little push and I would have been inside her. I reached behind her, pressed against her ass to move forward enough so I could grab a hold of her.

  I stepped into the shower without adjusting the water first. I figured it would be freezing, which was good because we both needed it, but it was refreshing.

  “You’re so beautiful, CC.” She leaned in and kissed my lips, then pulled away when I didn’t kiss her back. When she noticed what I was looking at she smirked. On the side of her right breast, there was a mark that I’d left last night. She didn’t need any more marks; damn, I’d gotten a little too carried away.

  “Don’t look at it like that, Hunter. I see it as a love bite; there isn’t anything wrong with that.” I swear she’s in my head more than anyone should be allowed, which could be dangerous too.

  “I’m sorry; I didn’t mean to be so rough last night. Things got a little carried away.” I pressed her back up against the shower wall and she shivered. “When I get near you,” I shook my head, “I just can’t help it.”

  I reached down for her body wash that smelled of coconuts, I was torturing myself. I wanted her so badly. I was so hard; it hurt to have her pressed against me. I gently set her down on her feet, put the body wash on that puffy thing of hers and started with her shoulders. I washed down her arms all the way to her fingertips on her good arm and stopped right at the cast on the other arm, she was watching me with such awe in her eyes. I paid special attention to her breasts, loving the fullness of them. I caressed her stomach and all the way down her legs. Big mistake, I was going to lose it any minute and she wasn’t even doing anything to me. I turned her carefully in my arms to keep her balanced and let the water cascade down her body to wash all the soap away.

  When it was all gone she turned to me, “Your turn big guy.”

  She winked and then reached to the side of her to grab my body wash; this was going to be painful. Once she had some on my body she started the same way I had, but only one side at a time while I steadied her. She rubbed the soap into my shoulders and then down my arms to my fingers. She pulled my left hand under the water, rinsed away the foam, and then kissed each of my fingertips. When she got to my ring finger she pulled it into her mouth, and I moaned at the feeling of her tongue against my skin. I squeezed my eyes shut. When she swirled that fucking tongue around my finger, I was shaking, I watched her and tried my hardest to smile but I was too fucking hard. Didn’t she realize what she was doing to me?

  “Baby you have to stop, I can’t take much more of this shit.” I said breathlessly.

  She hummed around my finger before she pulled it out with a pop. “I’m sorry baby but I’m just getting started.”

  CC reached down and added more soap to my chest. She rubbed her palm down my pecs. Then she continued the torture by using her fingers and tracing my abs. I was holding her steady by her hips and I’m sure at this point she’d have bruises from my fingertips.

  When she got to her favorite spot, my V, she looked up at me with so much affection in her eyes I just wanted to take her right here, right now. “I love you.”

  “I love you more baby.”

  She continued down to my dick and grasped the head of it. I sucked in a breath and held it. Think of ice, ice cream, ice cubes, anything cold. Nothing was working.

  She stroked all the way down to the base, my whole body was strung so tight. “CC, please stop. I can’t take much more.”

  My legs were shaking and still she continued, “Then don’t, Hunter. No one’s telling you to hold back.”

  Pulling her body to me, I softly bit down on her shoulder and rested my hands on her ass as she jerked me off. It only took a few strokes and I cursed under my breath as my climax hit.

  After a few moments I turned her towards the water and rinsed her off. I grabbed the shampoo and we took turns washing each other’s hair. Once we were both clean again, I shut off the shower and reached for the towels. I wrapped one around her and then one around myself while she steadied herself on the shower wall. I carried her back to the bedroom and set her on the bed.

  Going over to her dresser I p
ulled out her thong, bra and yoga pants. I set everything down on the bed and was helping her by placing her feet in her thong when someone pounded on the door.

  “What the fuck are you two doing in there?” Mason roared from the other side of the locked door.

  “Getting dressed! Relax, freak show.” CC yelled back then lay back on the bed.

  “Fuck!” Mason yelled then stomped away.

  CC was laid out in front of me, so fucking hot, black lacy thong around her ankles. Fuck! Think of rubber ducks, late night feedings, crying baby. Again nothing worked.

  CC propped up on her elbows, “Everything ok?”

  Looking down at the tent I was sporting in the towel, I shook my head. She sat up; I stood up and pulled her to her feet. She pulled her towel off and then did the same to mine. She looked down and smiled. What was so fucking funny here? She took her towel and hung it on my dick, “Thanks babe, I needed somewhere to hang it.” She reached down and pulled up her thong.

  I glared at her, “Such a wise ass, eh?”

  She reached for her bra and flashed me another saucy smile. “January 22nd.”

  Huh? She shook her head, “Jeez, pump some of that blood back to the other head. Our wedding date, January 22nd.”

  “Ok.” I wasn’t going to argue with her. If she said tomorrow I’d make it happen, if she said next year, I might have to give a little fight.

  “Ok.”

  I was one step closer to making my best friend, my soul mate, mine.

  After Hunter and I were dressed, I called my mom to check on Ryder. I was really starting to miss him and wanted to check in on him.

  “Hey Mom, how’s Ryder?” I asked as soon as she answered.

  “Hey baby girl, he’s doing just fine. That little boy has your dad wrapped around his finger. We love having both our grandsons here.” She told me.
