Stone
I wake up the next morning when the sun starts to creep through the barn window. Sometime last night we must have fallen asleep up here, and still curled up next to me is Seven. She looks absolutely amazing in my arms asleep, quiet and peaceful. I was already head over heels in love with this girl and I couldn’t deny it any longer. There are things in life worth fighting for; making yourself better, striving to accomplish more and she is one of them. I need her in my life; she filled a hole that has been open for years, and the thought of her being mine made the shit in the world seem a little easier to deal with.
Placing a kiss to the side of her face Seven let out a yawn. “Morning little one” I say as she opens her eyes. “Ugh, what time is it” she moans. “Early” I laugh. “Why don’t you get into the house and go crawl in my bed, I’ve got some stuff I have to help dad with this morning before we leave” as I pull myself off the floor. Seven stretches her body and slowly joins me. Standing up on her tip toes she places a soft kiss to my lips. “I could get used to this” I mumble not wanting to break our contact. Seven pulls herself back and smiles while walking over to the ladder. “Well good Mr. Hastings, that’s exactly what I wanted to hear” she says as she disappears down the ladder.
A stupid goofy grin comes across my face as I adjust my little me in my pants, this girl affects my body in more ways than one. I watch as Seven scurries across the lawn and notice my dad walking out the back door. “Morning Seven” he says with a smile as I watch her duck her head and wave. Bet she wasn’t expecting that this morning I chuckle to myself. “Told ya” dad calls over to me. “Yeah yeah” I mutter and walk over to load the tools into the gator.
“We’ve got the fence on the back five we need to fix then you guys can get out of here” he winks at me.
“What time did Tammy get home?”
“Not a clue but she is passed out on the couch now, you know better than to leave her out there” my dad scoffs. “Well she has made it very clear I’m no longer to babysit her, and she’s home right? Apparently the little princess will survive” I throw at my dad. He shakes his head and climbs in the seat; I can’t watch my sister forever.
Chapter 7
Seven
The entire ride back to school Tammy doesn’t say a word to either of us. I can tell she is mad at me but I figure simple conversation would be easy. She basically ignores all the questions and comments Stone and I have mention, if silence could kill we would have been dead in the first ten minutes of the trip.
As we pull into the parking lot of our dorm an uneasy feeling comes over me. How do we doit now, I mean we are back to our own world here and not on the farm where it was just us. I became anxious as I fiddle with a hole in the top of my jeans, picking at the fraying edges. Stone must have sensed my mood because he reaches over and places his hand on mine. “I’ll text ya later” he says with a smile. “Oh okay” I mumble as I scoot over to get out the door.
Tammy has already gotten her bag and is walking up to the building before I can even reach mine. “Hey Seven” Stone calls from the cab. Popping my head around the door I raise my eyebrows, desperate not to let him see the worry on my face. “Stop worrying. I said I wasn’t going anywhere, trust me” he smiles. I give him a weak smile back as I turn with my bag. Trusting him was going to be hard; this man made me feels things I thought were long gone. Keeping secrets was the easy part; not falling in love was where the problem lay.
The air in our dorm room was tense, Tammy still wasn’t talking to me and I knew why. “I’m going to go shower” Tammy says while grabbing her shower kit. “Tam wait” I blurt out. She glances in my direction and sets her stuff back down on her bed. “What” she glares at me. “I’m sorry. I never meant for that to happen, you’ve got to believe me” I bite my lip to stop its trembling. Tammy sighs and sits down on her bed. “I know it’s just I know what my brother is capable of, and being a decent boyfriend let alone a human being isn’t in his future. I don’t want to see you hurt cause he is an asshole!”
Walking across the small room I sit down next to her “Tammy, your brother is a good guy. Have faith in him. Besides you can’t break someone who is already broken” I manage a small smile. Wrapping her arms me, Tammy pulls me into a big hug. “Promise me when he does something stupid and insane you won’t hate me?” Laughing I pull away and grab her shoulders. “I promise nothing can make me hate you, well maybe if you don’t shower. You really kind of stink, when was the last time you bathed?” Tammy smacks my arm and giggles. “I love you Seven” she says while walking out the door. “Back at ya girl” I say. I’m not ready to actually love anyone else but her again, this was simple and I am capable of that.
I was driving myself crazy waiting for Stone’s text. I had already given up on doing homework as I basically was just doodling on paper and I’m sure my math professor didn’t want to see hearts and arrows all over it. “Seriously sit your ass down! You’re going to wear a hole in the carpet if you keep pacing like that” Tammy says while reading her magazine. I didn’t realize I was pacing till she points it out. Shit maybe I am crazy; I need to calm down and whatever happens happens. Ugh easier said than done, cause right now I feel like all my emotions are in a blender and someone keeps pressing the damn pulse button.
“That’s it! Go do something or I’m going to kill you” Tammy throws down her magazine. “Fine maybe I’ll go take a shower or something” I mumble grabbing my shower caddy. “Good, get the hell out of here” she smiles. Sticking my tongue out at her I close the door and head for the showers. Maybe a little warm water and steam will relax my ever swirling mind. Setting my stuff down on the bench I walk into the stall and turn on the water. Letting it warm up for a couple minutes, I finally climb in and let the water wash over me.
The heat of it relaxes my muscles as I soap up my loofa and let it glide over my body. I stop over the scar on my stomach; the incision line has faded over the year leaving just a light pink pull on my skin. This was my reminder of what I did; something so small yet the consequences of that night were huge. I let the water fall over my face trying to cleanse my mind of that night. Beep beep goes my cell on the bench outside and before I even realize what I am doing I’m standing out there buck ass naked checking the device.
“Oh shit” I mutter grabbing my towel to wrap around my body, quickly trying to unlock my phone to read the text. Stones name appeared on the screen and I instantly broke out into a happy dance. *Stone* You sick of me yet?
I quickly punch in a no and hit send. Realizing I still had soap in my hair I place my phone back down on the bench and quickly returned to the shower to rinse it out. While drying my body the chime on my phone goes off again.
*Stone* Dinner? I’ll be there in 10 minutes
*Seven* I’m just getting out of the shower, give me like 15
*Stone* So u r saying u r naked?*
An instant blush creeps over my body as I try to throw on the clothes I brought with me.
*Seven* Nope not anymore! Dirty mind
Smiling I grab my stuff and hurry back to my room.
*Stone* Thinking of u naked does naughty things to my mind little one. Hurry up I’m hungry and not for food
I throw open the closet in search of something to wear. “What’s got you in an up and go mood” Tammy raises her eyebrows in question. “Dinner” I smile and grab a pair of shorts and t-shirt. Throwing my hair up in a ponytail I grab some flip flops and race for the door. “Bring me home some food; it’s the least you can do if you’re doing the nasty with my brother” Tammy chuckles as I close the door. Checking my phone as I clomp down the stairs I realize I’ve only been ten minutes. Hopefully he is already here I think as I open the glass doors, and my face breaks out into a smile. There standing next to his truck is a drop dead gorgeous guy holding flowers for me, a girl could get totally used to this.
I have to resist the urge to run into his arms, in my head a cheesy love ballad should be playing as I walk briskly over t
o the parking lot. I can’t help look like a giddy school girl with him standing there waiting for me, I mean this man is an undeniable god. “For you” he says while handing me the flowers. Feeling bold I reach up for a kiss, igniting a fire in my body when our lips meet. “Thanks, but that really was all I needed” I coyly smile.
This man makes me feel alive again, like I totally deserve another chance at being happy. “Well if we keep standing here one of us is going to end up naked, and I’m pretty sure it won’t be me” he opens the door to the truck. “Maybe I don’t mind getting naked for you.”
“Seriously we got to go; otherwise I’m going to take you right here on my truck.” He growls. Stone smacks my ass while climbing into the truck, glancing at this man who has a spark in his eyes now makes me go all mushy inside. “That my dear is a preview for tonight.”
“You’re sure of yourself Mr. Hastings, what makes you think there is going to be tonight?” “Cause you can’t stay away from me Seven, simple as that” he starts the engine and throws it in reverse. The thought of us together makes my muscles contract and not the visible ones for that matter. He is right I would do just about anything for him right now; my insecurities are gone when I am with him, however my secrets still remain and hopefully I can keep it that way.
Walking in to the pizza place I can’t help but grin as he holds my hand. “What do you say we get this to go and eat in the truck” He asks while walking up to the counter. “Sure” I shrug. Standing next to him at the counter while he orders I start to get a little possessive as the chick serving gets a little flirty. I’ve never really been the type that needed to stake claim, but something wasn’t sitting right with me.
Wrapping my arm around his waist I snuggle in close, shooting death ray beams at the tramp taking our order. Stone doesn’t even stop rambling off the order he just slides his arm around me and pulls me tighter. Take that bitch, I silently gloat to myself. Guiding me over to a table to wait Stone lets out a small laugh. “Don’t think I don’t know what you were doing.”
“What” I say innocently while batting my eyes. Grabbing my chin Stone placed a light kiss to my lips. “I’ve only got eyes for you little one, the sooner you realize it the better it’s going to be” he pulls away. Crossing my arms in front of me I can’t help but pout. I feel the need to be possessive of this man, hell I want to take a bat to all the women who look at him. I might just be a little crazy, hell I’ve never really thought of myself to be stable anyway.
Sitting on the tail gate eating pizza and staring at the lake has to be up there on my little list of most epic nights of my life. Totally helps that I had a man who looks like a freaking god spending the evening with me and greasy goodness to fill my belly! “Alright since you dodged my question on our coffee date you are completely obligated to tell me about yourself now” Stone says while picking up another slice of pizza. I almost choke on the piece I am chewing, fucking flying pancakes how in the hell am I going to get out of this.
“Stone, I can’t just yet. There are things about me that are just ugly and bad. I’m not ready to face those demons out loud yet.” In all reality I wasn’t ready to face those things in my head, the longer I keep them secret the better it is going to be. “You can’t run from me Seven; I don’t care about the past. We all have our own battles we fight, but I want to fight them with you. You don’t have to be alone; I promise I’ll be with you every step of the way.” Wiping the tears from my eyes I can’t help but smile, this man wants to know me. The real me who I’d lost basically a year ago; the girl I ran away from and he wants me to bring her back again.
Dropping my head I whisper “I can’t.”
“One day you’re going to let me in Seven and I promise you I won’t run.” Yeah if it were only that simple. Jumping off the tailgate I start to walk over to the water. There is something amazing about it, the way it looks like glass on the surface yet underneath it is moving with life. Placing my hands on my hips I close my eyes to try and remember the person I was striving to be. This girl was strong, compassionate, caring, and vivacious. I can’t keep crying, that was the old me and dammit I needed to knock that shit off.
Suddenly my world begins to spin as Stone lifts me off the ground and around in circles. “Put me down you crazy fool” I scream. “Not until you smile” he says while continuing to shake up my world. “I’m smiling I swear!” Suddenly I am back on the ground and my lips are on his. Feverishly working overtime his tongue explores my mouth, letting the passion take us deeper. “Stone I need you” I manage to whisper between taking breaths. Something primal ignites in him and I am off my feet and quickly being carried back to the truck.
My ass slams on the tailgate, my legs instantly parting for him to make room in-between. “Tell me to stop Seven, tell me you don’t want this” he mumbles while his hands wrap themselves in my hair. “Stone I want you” I stammer while pulling at the hem of his shirt. In one quick move Stone reaches behind his head and pulls his t-shirt off, exposing his tight body and tattoos. Running my hands down his chest and abs to his shorts, I start to fumble with the button. Breaking away from my lips Stone shakes his head “Just wait baby, we have the whole evening to do that”. Biting my bottom lip I can’t see anything else in this world but him, I want him to be in me now and I don’t think I can wait any longer. Wiggling my hips to try and get closer to his cock I feel his hard length building in his shorts. “Oh please Stone it’s been forever, I don’t want to wait anymore” grabbing the bottom of my shirt and tossing it off. “Calm down little one, this isn’t going to be a drive by kind of thing, I’m going to make you only want me from now on.” he says while running his hands on the edges of my lacy black bra.
I can feel the heat of his hands on my breast, desperate to shed the little remaining clothing we both are wearing. Locking my legs around his waist I pull him as close as I can get, letting him feel my hard nipples on his chest. Grabbing my ponytail Stone pulls my head back; kissing down my neck to my breasts, slowly sucking on them through the lace. Groaning I lay myself back on the tailgate as he climbs on top of me. Slowly he pulls the straps off my shoulder “You’re so fucking beautiful Seven” he whispers between kisses. “Stone I need you, please” I beg. “How bad do you want me baby” he asks in a low voice while his fingers dance along my shorts line.
“Fuck Stone, I want you” I whine as the feeling of my body exploding rages on. “Tell me; tell me to fuck you Seven. I want to hear you say it” his eyes locking on mine, lips inches away from my mouth. “Fuck me Stone, I want you to fuck me” leaning up to connect our lips. I can’t remember the last time I wanted a man more than this moment with Stone. With a quick pop of the button Stone has my shorts around my ankles, his fingers playing with my panties. “Are you wet for me little one” he teases my opening. Arching my back I buck myself into him; I want this man in me now, forget the teasing part. I want to feel his cock stretch me; the full feeling of being pushed to my breaking point is what my body craved.
“If you don’t screw me now I’m going to kick you so hard in the balls I swear to god Stone” as I glare into his face. Stone chuckles and drops his pants “Ah I love the demanding side of you Seven, guess you deserve what you begged for tonight” he pulls my panties down and slides his enormous member into me. I swear my mind went into another dimension, the sensation of him sliding in and out of me sent me into oblivion. The feeling came quick, he just felt too good to hang on any longer. Sweet bliss racked through my body as he continued to give me just what I begged for. “It’s never going to be the same now little one” he whispers in my ear, if this is how it felt every time I really no longer cared about hiding my secrets.
Stone
I can’t describe the feeling when I entered Seven tonight, it’s something I’ve never experienced with anyone before. Almost like I’ve not really been having sex before, it was that mind blowing. I watch as her breathing starts to normalize, slowly coming down from the high we both rode. Kissing her lips softy
I can’t help but smile, she really is it for me.
“What are you thinking there Mr. Hastings” she smiles coyly. Well not to scare you but I believe you’re the women I’m meant to be with, marry and have a gazillion babies with. Shit I couldn’t say that as I shake my head. “Well as much as I like you naked underneath me the thought of someone seeing you that way makes me want to punch something” I rise off her and grab the clothes we have thrown about.
Seven giggles “pretty sure it’s a little too late for that now” she slides her shorts back on. Picking up her undies I twirl them on my finger “missing these?”
“Nope” as she slips on her bra and shirt. Shaking my head I stuff them into my pocket, almost like a souvenir but really it’s the thought of someone else finding them out here that has me wanting to knock some heads. Pulling on the last article of clothing I need, I reach for Sevens hand to help her down from Ol’ Red; grabbing her arms I pull her back into my body, I can’t get enough of this woman. “Um I kind of promised Tammy I would bring her home some food” she says while batting her eyes at me. “My sister can starve I’m not taking you home tonight” I nibble on her ear. “Stone that’s mean, she’s my only friend.”
“Who needs friends when you have me baby?”
Pulling out of my arms and walking over to the truck door “I do Stone, you can’t be my everything.” Bullshit, who says I can’t own you; this girl belonged to me now.
After swinging by taco hell we drove back to the dorms playing twenty questions. I try toget her to spill some secrets, but she will only play if I keep the questions light. Stashing some useful knowledge away like favorite color, flower, book and movie, I put the truck into park in front of her dorm. “Call you tomorrow” I ask with a smile. “I do believe you’re starting to have stalker tendencies Mr. Hastings” Seven giggles as she climbs out of the truck. “Well communication is crucial to a good relationship, especially oral communication.” Seven turns about ten different shades of green when I mention relationship. “Seven what’s wrong?”
