I kick my shoes off and sit on the edge of the bed while Killian is in the bathroom. He steps out and smolders at me looking like a predator ready to hunt.
He advances on me, and I remember something he said at the Dragway. “You called me your girlfriend earlier.”
He blinks. “Did I?”
“Mhmm and it was super sexy.” I crook my finger at him. He steps forward and a stomach cramp hits me. Crap. I thought I was done with my period because I started taking my pills. I was only spotting earlier.
I grimace.
“What’s wrong?”
“Um…nothing. I forgot my bag and we don’t have a change of clothes. I should probably tell Hayley to let her mom know we had a change in plans tonight.”
“Already taken care of. I had a text from Liam that they are staying here too, and he is going to drop your bag to you in about three minutes.”
“Oh. Good. Where were we?”
“I was about to lay you down on that bed and take my time reminding you that we’re good together.”
“Ahem. If I recall you were the one who said you wanted to hang out but not date.”
“Are you going to make me say it?”
“It’d be nice to hear it.”
Liam knocks on the door. Well I am assuming it’s him.
“Saved by the bell,” he teases and goes to the door.
“Here you go, man. We’ll meet you guys down in the lobby to go to breakfast about eight.”
While they are making plans for the morning, I slip into the bathroom to see if I am still spotting. I’m not.
I hear the door close and dig through my bag. I always carry spare panties when I am on my period. I change into the black lace bottoms and take off my shirt. I stare at my reflection in the mirror. I fluff up my hair and apply some lip gloss after I brush my teeth with the complimentary toothpaste and brush from the hotel.
I feel impulsive and sexy.
Chapter 31
Killian
The bathroom door opens, and my jaw hits the floor. Liri steps out in nothing but black lace undergarments. Her hair is tousled, and she looks turned on—like pure seduction. She struts toward me, swinging her hips full of confidence. My cock strains against my jeans. My pulse races as desire spreads through my veins.
I’m in so much trouble here.
I lean back on my elbows and she crawls onto the bed and slithers toward me. I swallow hard.
“Hi,” she whispers in a sultry purr. Her minty breath washes over me, and her legs go to either side of my hips as she straddles me. I go to grab her hips and she makes a tsk sound that rolls off her tongue.
“You trying to kill me?”
“Not yet,” she coos and her tight body presses against my torso.
“You’re so sexy, baby.”
“I think you have on too many clothes.” Her fingers move to the hem of my shirt and lift. I comply with her wishes and tug it up over my head. Her palms flatten on my chest and she licks my lips. I’m already growing hard from the brief contact. I’ve had enough of her teasing me and lean up to claim her sweet lips. Her tongue pushes against mine, fighting me for control, but this is a battle she will lose. There are many ways I can bring her pleasure.
Sliding the straps of her bra down her arms I reach around her back to undo the clasp. Her arms cross her chest, and I grab her wrists. “No hiding from me, you’re beautiful.”
Reluctantly with her cheeks blooming a pinkish hue, Liri drops her arms to her sides, and I stare at her beauty, loving that I’m the first to get this with her. I want to be the one to give her all of her firsts. The thought that I want to be her only hits me hard. Emotion is thick in my throat as I try to find the words to tell her what she means to me. Three words I never thought I would say to anyone hang on the tip of my tongue and die there when she kisses me again.
Her fingers tug on the button and zipper of my jeans eagerly. “Slow down, Liri. There’s no rush. We have the night. Just you and me.”
“I need you, Killian.”
I respond by kissing her throat. She has me feeling like the one who is inexperienced. I’ve never been with a virgin before. I don’t have any plans of taking her virginity tonight though. I’ve not earned it yet. I pepper kisses down to her breasts and suck a nipple into my mouth. Liri moans and rolls her hips forward. My fingers dig in her hips, and I know I have to be careful not to take things too far. I want her so damn badly I can hardly function. I can’t think straight. My pulse is hammering in my ears. Her skin is soft, and she tastes sweeter than any fruit. Being with Liri isn’t anything like the other girls I have been with. They all pale in comparison because there is none. I didn’t care about a one of them. But her. She’s everything to me.
“Take off your pants, Killian. I want to feel you.”
My eyes dilate.
She has no idea the things her bossy demands are doing to me. My blood is on fire. My cock is throbbing, needing to be inside her, but we aren’t ready for that. I shove her away playfully. I strip down to my boxer briefs and she licks her lips. Thoughts of her taking me into her mouth dance in my head. I hover over her and hook my fingers along the waist of her bottoms.
“I think these need to come off.”
“I’ll take mine off when you do,” she sasses me.
“Liri.” I close my eyes.
“I want to be with you.” Her words ring in my head. “I’m on the pill.”
“I know,” my voice comes out hoarse.
I lower my head and kiss her stomach intent on teasing her with my mouth, hoping to take her focus off intercourse. I know if I sleep with her tonight, I will be a complete goner, and she will own me wholly. The thought terrifies me. It scares me to think this tiny thing who wears hideous leggings could hold such power over me, but she can.
She does.
Her fingers move to my hair as I go lower and lower with my kisses, breathing in the honied smell of her arousal. I drag my nose along the crotch of her black lace. She’s fucking soaked for me. Pushing her panties aside I move my finger through her slick heat. I gaze up at her parted lips loving the noises she is making. Flattening my tongue, I spread her and lick. Her taste coats my tongue, and she bucks her hips. Liri pulls on my hair, and I hum over her clit.
“Killian,” she moans my name out in a breathy whisper. I add a finger to the rotation, pushing it into her velvety center. Her body grinds down demanding more. My girl trembles beneath me when I add a second finger, scissoring my digits, making a come here motion.
Her hands slide down my back. She scratches at me hard enough to draw blood as she finds her release. Placing a kiss to her stomach I grin up at her lazily although I’m so hard, my balls are aching.
“That felt too good,” she tells me.
“It was meant to,” I joke. I lay my head on her naked chest as she strums her fingers through my hair coming down from her orgasmic high.
“What about you?”
“This was about you, baby.”
“I want to do for you what you did for me.” Desire shines in her pale blue eyes. “Lay on your back, Killian.” I comply, unable to deny her request. Her slender fingers shove my boxer briefs down exposing me and wrap around me. Pre-come is beaded on the tip and she licks it off. A shiver travels up and down my spine at the sensation. There is something so erotic about knowing that my dick is the only one her mouth has ever touched and tasted. Her fingers squeeze me roughly.
“Easy,” I tell her, encouraging her to loosen her death grip. “Now, move your hand lower and open your mouth,” I instruct. Liri is the perfect student. “Open your mouth as wide as it will stretch. Flatten your tongue and slowly descend your mouth on my cock.” She does as she is told like a good girl. “Now move your hand up and down and suck me between your lips.”
Her tongue slides up and down my shaft along with her hand. She repeats the motion a few times.
My eyes roll back in my head. I’m so close but then she stops.
“M
y mouth hurts.” She frowns.
“It’s okay, Liri. It’ll get easier over time. The more you do it the more natural it will become. “C’mere.” I pull her up so that she is laying on my chest, but she moves to straddle me.
Her hips rotate and the wet crotch of her panties rubs against me creating a friction that has me wishing I could slide her panties to the side or rip them off and thrust inside her.
“God, Liri. You’re killing me, baby. I can practically feel you,” I let out on a groan.
My greedy girl surprises the hell out of me and shoves her panties to the side and rubs the lips of her pussy over the head of my dick. Her slick heat coats the tip of my cock, and she starts grinding. My cock kisses her pussy lips as her soft body writhes against mine.
“I’m going to come,” I warn, and she circles her hips, rubbing against me faster and faster. Her hot breath fans over my lips and she kisses me deeply. I move my palm between us and come on my hand instead of on her.
I know she says she went on the pill, but we still need to be careful.
“I wish I could have felt you do that inside me,” she confesses, and I fall back on the bed so delirious I could cry.
She has no idea how badly I wish I could.
Chapter 32
Liri
I wake up with a smile on my face. I almost had sex with Killian last night. We did everything but full penetration. I can’t even begin to describe how good it felt when I was on his lap and the tip of him was rubbing me. I wanted so badly to go all the way with him. I could tell something was holding him back, but I think we will do it soon. I know he wants me too.
He’s still sleeping. I slip out of bed and into the bathroom to take a shower. I take my time even though we should be hurrying to meet Liam and Hayley for breakfast. I doubt the two of them are up yet if their night was anything like mine. The way Killian made me feel…cherished. He made me feel protected. Like he would never hurt me but deep down I know he will. He’s got issues I know he needs to work on, but he is making progress. He called me his girlfriend when he was getting all heated with Hunter.
I’m toweling off when he knocks at the bathroom door. “It’s open.”
He enters the room appearing so freaking sexy I want to jump him. Barefoot in his boxer briefs with tousled hair, he’s beautiful to look at. A lazy grin crosses his face. “Good morning,” he greets, dipping his head down to brush his lips to my forehead.
“Shower is all yours.” I grab my stuff and close the door behind me.
We are about an hour late to meet our friends but if they have been waiting long, they don’t complain. Hayley still looks sad, and I am worried that they didn’t solve their differences like Killian and I were able to. Killian and Liam go in his car, and I take Hayley with me in mine to drive to the diner.
“So, how did it go?” I question once we are in the privacy of my car.
She lifts her shoulder with a weary expression plastered on her face. “We talked. We fought. He’s hurt and he slept on the floor of our hotel room. This morning he would barely look at me. I think he has spoken a total of five words to me all morning and we have been up for two hours.”
“That’s terrible. I’m sorry.”
“Not your fault.”
“If I can accept Killian and his past Liam should be able to put this behind him.”
“Maybe. So Killian…you guys are okay?”
“He called me his girlfriend,” I gloat.
“Good. I’m happy for you.” Her smile doesn’t reach her eyes, but I know it is hard for her to be happy for me when her relationship is in the toilet. If Liam can’t forgive her there’s no way Killian and I stand a chance.
I pull in next to Killian’s car and park. They’ve already gone inside. I look back at Hayley before getting out of the car. Her hair is pulled up on her head and she’s dressed in an oversized hoodie and jeans. The girl rarely goes without makeup. She’s depressed and on the verge of tears. “If you don’t want to go with me today, I understand.” I am sure going with me to meet my dad for the first time is the last thing she wants to do today. I know I wouldn’t want to do anything but curl up in a ball and cry if I were her.
“It’s fine. Liam has to work today, and I doubt he will want to see me when he gets off either. He told me he needs space.”
I wish I could fix this for her.
The thing is, Liam has every right to be hurt that she lied. I only hope he doesn’t punish her for it too long and lose her in the process. He lied too. They both did wrong. We exit the car and enter the diner.
Killian stands to allow me to slide into the booth first. Liam only scoots over for Hayley and he doesn’t even look at her.
“What’s good here?” I ask, hoping to cut some of the tension, and breaking the awkward silence.
“I like their omelets,” Liam answers.
Hayley scowls but says, “Pancakes.”
I look at Killian and he points to the breakfast platter on the menu.
The server comes over and takes our order and silence falls over us again. They are about as fun as a rusty bucket of nails.
“What are you boys getting into after we leave here?”
Killian speaks up first. “I thought I would tag along with you if that’s okay?”
“Really?” I can’t contain my enthusiasm.
“Of course. I want to be there for you.” He pats my leg and gives me a squeeze under the table.
“I need a ride back to my truck,” Liam announces. “I work at eleven.”
“Hayley can take you in my car,” I offer before Killian can tell him to take his car.
“Sure,” Hayley agrees with a bleak look in her eyes as she unwraps her silverware. Killian bumps my shoulder and kisses my cheek.
Liam is giving me a death glare. If his eyes were lasers, I’d be cut in two right about now. I choose to ignore his dirty looks and keep the conversation moving.
“What time was your mom wanting to leave?” I look to Hayley.
“Noon.”
“Are you coming back here after you drop Liam off or going back to the dorm?”
“I guess it depends on what your plans are after you go to the home for your visit.”
“What are our plans?” I question my boyfriend and it feels really good to refer to him as mine.
“Whatever you want.”
“We should go bowling or something. Is there anything like that around campus?”
“There’s a mini-golf place,” Hayley tells me, and our food arrives.
Everyone digs into their food and that awkward silence returns. I am determined to help Hayley and Liam get over their crap one way or the other.
“Liam, you’ll come too?”
“Hmm?” He looks up from his plate.
“Mini-golf. We’re going to double.” I smile sweetly at him and flutter my lashes.
He laughs. “Is that what you do to get Killian wrapped around your finger? Flirt.”
“I’m not wrapped,” my man states. “And flirt. Are you flirting with him?” He accuses with an amused smirk.
“Eww no.” I make a disgusted face.
“Hey. I’m not that repulsive.” He smiles and I wink at Hayley. “What time are we doing this?”
“Will you be off by seven?”
“Yeah.” He nods in agreement, and I see some life return to Hayley.
**
“I’m nervous. What if seeing me upsets him?” I feel like I may throw up any second now. Killian is following behind my Aunt Sandy to the assisted living facility where my dad is cared for. We met up with her after breakfast and she gave me a list of his favorite snacks. I was so flustered in the store Killian had to take over and make my purchases for me.
“You’ll be fine. I’ll be with you every step of the way,” he promises.
I fidget with my locket that Hayley gave me hoping this goes well.
Killian parks next to Sandy, and I hesitate to get out of the car.
“Just
breathe, baby. I’m here.” Killian has the passenger side door open and is squatting on the pavement. “Look at me.” I meet his stare. “You’re a wonderful person. You don’t owe him anything and you don’t have to go in there and meet him if you don’t want to. No one will force you. Or if we get in there and you decide you aren’t ready all you gotta do is say the word and we’ll leave.” He squeezes my hand to reassure me.
“Okay.” I wipe at my eyes where I started to cry.
“You ready?”
I shake my head but get out of the car.
Killian wraps his arms around me and that feeling of being cherished and safe soothes me.
Sandy has been staying back to give me space, and I love her for it. She’s not being pushy like Mom swore she would be about this. My boyfriend grabs the stuff we bought from the trunk and we follow Sandy inside the facility.
We enter a second set of doors where we are met by a security guard. Sandy gives him a code and once he checks over our bags we are allowed inside. The three of us have to go to a reception desk where we all have to sign in and provide valid identification.
A nurse leads us down a hall to where my father is going to be brought for the visit. I’m shaking and my knee keeps bouncing. Killian smiles at me and places his hand on my leg to still me. The nurse who showed us to the room returns and she is pushing my father in his wheelchair.
He’s skinny and is wearing a baseball cap. His smile is crooked. Sandy said he suffered a stroke a few months ago and he lost feeling in part of his face. He has use of his hands, but he isn’t very coordinated.
“Sandy.” He smiles at his sister. His gaze moves to Killian and then me. “Who this?” He seems happy at least.
Sandy leans forward and takes his hands in hers. “I brought someone special to see you today. Remember our talks about the little girl in your pictures?”
