Chapter Five
Griffin’s Beach Gavin
T he fact Colt hasn’t killed Gavin yet is a miracle. He still doesn’t know why he let her talk him into fucking in the backseat of the car parked in the driveway, but when the woman he loves says she has to have him, he’s not saying no.
“Hey, hey!” Ty shouts as he and his girlfriend, Tara Parker, walk into the clubhouse. The light-haired man looks over the moon, and Gavin doesn’t remember ever seeing the pre-teen looking boy walking in with them before.
“What’s going on?” Shep asks with Heidi trailing behind him with tired eyes. “Heidi didn’t make it home until after three, and we didn’t get to sleep until after six. What’s so important we have to be here so damned early?”
Looking around, Gavin realized most of the club is here, including the women. And it’s noon. On Friday. He has to be here to do the cleaning regardless of what today may be, but everyone else got a message.
“What’s this about?” Colt asks with Lex on his lap.
Afternoon delight. No wonder Colt’s unbothered to be here at what’s considered early for the rest of us. He’s going to get it on later.
Now, Gavin thinks about Hailey. They’ve been together for a while now, and he realized last night when they were talking on the phone that he’s in love with her.
He knows she’s not quite there yet, and with her terrible upbringing and lack of support from parental figures before Colt and Lex, it’ll take her a little longer.
She’s been bringing up college a lot lately, and Riverview isn’t that far away. He’s trying to prove to her that it won’t be a big issue, and he’s willing to do whatever it takes to make it work. This won’t break them up if he has any say in it.
“We got married!” Ty shouts. “And we officially adopted Mattie!”
The new family beams, and Gavin is genuinely happy for them.
Mattie’s father was a serial killer who abused him and Tara before getting locked up the first time.
He’s now long dead, thanks to Jennings calling in a favor in prison, and Tara became Mattie’s legal guardian, taking him away from an abusive aunt.
There seems to be a weird theme with outsiders and this club.
“Congrats!” Lex says, jumping up and hugging them. “Welcome to the family, Mattie. Officially. You’ve always been one of us.”
“Good to see you made good on your promise to him, brother,” Shep says and hugs him.
“He promised Mattie that they’d be a real family when Tara was kidnapped by Billy,” his father mutters into his ear. “Glad that son of a bitch is dead.”
Everyone cheers and toasts, the beer and liquor flowing freely, and Gavin chuckles. If he waits long enough, he can join in without anyone noticing or caring. After all, he turns nineteen tomorrow.
“Hey,” Hailey says, sneaking up beside him.
“Hey, beautiful.”
She ducks her dark head, but he catches the smile. “Any chance we can sneak away somewhere private?”
“How private?”
Her glance up through her lashes tells him exactly what she wants, and she confirms it by saying, “Private.”
It takes all his strength not to jump up and tug her by the arm out to her car. Or the roof. Or… He’ll figure out somewhere. He wants what she wants after days without touching her.
“Um…. There’s a couple of empty rooms upstairs. I’m not sure we’ll make it up there without Colt or Lex noticing, though.”
Shaking her head, she locks eyes with him. “I wouldn’t worry about that.”
Guiding her away from the crowd, they walk upstairs and hurry into one of the apartments he knows for a fact are unoccupied. The clubhouse has an apartment for every member, whether they choose to live here or not, and Gavin’s never been more grateful for it.
He quickly helps strip her out of her T-shirt and jeans and tossing her onto the bed before stripping down to his boxers.
“I’ve missed you,” he murmurs, reaching for her panties and pulling them down her legs and off her feet in one swift motion.
Leaning up onto her elbows, Hailey unclasps her bra, sliding it down her arms and dropping it to the floor. She lays bare in front of him wearing nothing but a sexy little smirk. “I can see that.”
“It’s been a long few days since we were together.” Kissing her ankle, he continues up until he finds her need.
Slick and hot, he licks her from opening to clit, savoring her taste. Her moans and the shifting of her hips propels him to continue as he is rather than stripping naked and filling her like his cock throbs to do.
“Gavin,” Hailey moans. “More. I need more.”
Moaning at her neediness, he circles his tongue around her clit, flicks it, and then sucks it into his mouth.
Her sharp intake of breath tells him it’s exactly what she needs, and he slips two fingers into her.
She’s so damn tight, and his cock continues to throb as he aches to bury himself inside her.
Sex has been amazing for him, and he loves that she never hesitates to tell him what she likes and doesn’t like. Now, he can give her what she craves with little to no direction from her other than begging for more. Faster. Harder.
Fuck, I’m gonna come in my boxers at this rate.
“Oh, yes!”
Her muscles clench around his fingers, and her desire coats them. Everything about her seems so damn perfect, and he stands, stripping off his boxers to join her in shared nakedness.
He reaches for his jeans to grab the condom from his wallet, but when he turns back around, Hailey waits for him on her knees.
Her mouth wraps around him, and he stands there, stunned, with the condom in his hand. Staring down at her, he can’t decide what’s better: The feeling of her hot little mouth or watching her please him.
“Oh, fuck,” Gavin grunts. “Hailey, fuck!”
Blowjobs aren’t new for him. Hell, until his girlfriend was ready to let him take her virginity, she offered up an almost endless supply of blowjobs.
She was good, as were the couple others after her, but Hailey’s fantastic.
She’s the one he first experienced deep throating with, and he loses his mind every time she gets on her knees.
He’s never been quick to come from oral, but the first time Hailey went down on him, he shot his load in a matter of minutes. Hitting the back of her throat sets him ablaze, and she alternates between taking him deep and sucking just the tip as she strokes his shaft.
Her main trick is backing off when she gets him right on the edge of exploding. As the orgasm retreats, she shoves him to the back of her throat again and swallows. It creates a tingling sensation he can’t replicate any other way, and he’s pretty sure this is what heaven feels like.
“Hailey, stop. Stop, baby. I don’t want to finish in your mouth,” he pants as he fights to hold onto his release.
She leans back on her heels and smiles up at him. The position is so damn sensual that he trembles. “I suppose I can be persuaded to let you inside.”
The condom slides on with ease, even as his fingers shake, and he tosses her onto the bed. Spreading her legs wide, he eases into her, hissing as he feels her tight pussy gripping in with every inch.
“You okay?” Hailey asks with a giggle as he stills to regain his composure.
“You feel too damn good, woman,” he mutters and leans down to kiss her neck. “Fuck.”
His hips move, and she lifts her legs up. Knowing exactly what she wants, he shifts back up and helps guide her feet onto his shoulders. “Yes, Gavin. Harder.”
He thrusts deep for a few minutes before leaning forward, bending her nearly in half.
If she minds when he does this, she never says or lets it show.
Continuing at an almost brutal pace, he thinks about cars and bowling and fishing to finish her off first. He’s pretty confident he’s never thought about anything so intently in his entire life.
Her gasps and clawing of the bedspread pull him from his thoughts about the fishing tournament he had on last night when he couldn’t sleep. Who can think about fishing when the love of their life is moaning in pleasure beneath him?
“Oh fuck,” she whispers as her body quivers and shudders against him.
Her pussy clenches his cock, milking him, and with one final thrust, he comes hard. “Baby!”
“Wow,” Hailey pants as he slides out of her, letting her legs fall to the bed. “I needed that.”
Throwing the latex into the trash, he climbs beside her and kisses her neck. Now feels like the right time to tell her how he feels. “I have something to tell you.”
“I have something to tell you, too,” she says, making his heart soar.
Maybe she’s ready to let me in all the way. That she’s not as resistant as I thought she was.
Rather than cuddle with him, which would be a nice change since they rarely find a bed these days, she climbs off the bed and begins to dress. “What are you doing?”
“I have to go.”
“Okay. Can I see you tonight?”
She pulls her shirt over her head after clasping her bra, covering the gorgeous tits he didn’t pay enough attention to. “No.”
“Are you watching the kids? Because I can come and hang out with you.”
“I’m going to college, Gavin.”
Gavin frowns and tries to figure out what she means. “We’ve talked about it. I’m fine doing the long-distance thing, but we were going to wait to make any final decisions until you left.”
“I was accepted early.”
“What does that mean?”
Smiling, it doesn’t reach her eyes. “I’m leaving to move into my dorm. Today. My car is packed and ready to go. I wanted to give you a proper goodbye before I left.”
Jumping off the bed, he slips into his boxers and places his hands on her shoulders to stop her as he puts together the puzzle. “Wait, what?”
“When I leave the clubhouse, I’m heading to campus.”
“I can go with you. Help you move your stuff—”
“No.”
His hands fall to his sides. “No?”
“This is going to be easier if we just make a clean break. End things on a fantastic note.”
She gave me a goodbye fuck. “We can make it work, Hailey.”
“It’s easier if we just walk away now. When I come back on breaks, if we’re both still single, we can see how we feel and maybe hang out. You’re special to me, but we’re not going to have time to spend together. Without time, we’ll fall apart. I want to leave on good terms with the great memories.”
“So, that’s it? You’re going to fuck me and leave? Goodbye, Gavin. Have a nice life and thanks for the orgasm? Is that what this is?”
Tying her shoes, she stands and closes her eyes, letting out a long sigh. “Pretty much, I guess.”
“You just made the decision without me. A relationship is two people, and I want to make this work, Hailey. You’re the greatest person I’ve ever met, and I want to be with you. Even if it’s only on breaks until you’re done with college. I’ll figure out how to make time for us.”
“You don’t get it,” she whispers as she opens her eyes and locks her gaze on him. “You’re a Prospect, and you’re setting yourself up to stay in Griffin’s Beach. I want out of this town. We can’t work.”
This is news to him. They’d never talked this far into the future before, but she’d never said she wanted to leave Griffin’s Beach and never come back. “You’re planning to one day not come back at all?”
Hailey shrugs and drops her gaze to the floor. “That’s always been my plan. This isn’t home for me like it is for you. Colt and Lex took me in, and I’m grateful to them, but they’re not my family. They adopted Lucas, not me—”
“Because you didn’t want them to!” he cries. “They wanted to, and you pushed them away.”
“I’m eighteen. No one adopts an eighteen-year-old. They’re Lucas’s family, and he’s my family. But no matter what, they’re not my parents. I have no parents.”
“You’re just going to use them and let them pay for your school before waving and never coming back.”
Leaning back, she looks hurt. “You think I’m using them?”
“Aren’t you? You just used me. The least you could have done was tell me you were leaving before getting naked with me.”
“Would you have climbed into bed with me if you’d known I was leaving?”
She manipulated him. She knows him, and she wanted this before she left. “No.”
“I wanted one last great memory together, Gavin. I can’t let you make a decision for my future. My life hasn’t been my own for so long, and I know that if we keep going, there are only two endings.”
“What are those?”
“We explode because we can’t make it work with both of our schedules. Or we make it work, and I’m forced to live here even though I want out because of what we have. Then I’ll grow to resent you, and we explode.”
Shaking his head, Gavin can’t look into her eyes. “You used me. You’re using Lex and Colt. I guess that’s kind of what you do, huh? Fine. Go.”
“I hoped you wouldn’t be mad, but I can’t really blame you. I’m sorry you feel like I tricked you.”
Hailey’s gone and out the door before he can stop her, and he sits on the bed. His chest aches in a way he’s never experienced before, and he can’t believe this. He was about to tell her he loves her, and she always planned to tell him goodbye.
Changing, he walks downstairs, and Lex walks up to him. “How are you holding up?”
“You’re not going with her to move in?”
Shaking her head, she sighs. “She didn’t want us to come with her. Breaks my heart, but I know she’s got demons I can’t even imagine. You didn’t know, either?”
He looks at the ground and holds back the cry of pain he wants to unleash. “Nope.”
“I’m sorry, Gavin. Are you going to do the long-distance thing?”
Walking to the bar, he grabs a bottle of whiskey from the shelf. “Nope. She dumped my ass.”
“What the fuck do you think you’re doing?” Ky calls out. “I’m not drunk enough to forget you’re only nineteen tomorrow, boy.”
He looks up to see Lex and Colt waving his father away. They know what’s going on, and they’re giving permission.
Happy birthday to me.
