Chapter 13

Cooper
Coming out of the back room at Ruby’s, I grab a dishrag from under the bar counter and toss it over my shoulder. The room has been filing up steadily since we opened an hour ago. Axel is out back finishing up paperwork and then he’ll be with me behind the bar tonight. It was kind of a long week, the days following that shitty call, but I have it behind me and I’m looking forward.
Haley is the only reason I was able to do that.
When I walked into the station for my first shift after that day, I gathered everyone into the common area and made sure I apologized profusely for my behavior after. While I know that it was okay to need a few days to myself, I’ve never let the guys down on Choir Practice, especially when we’re all taking the aftermath of a bad call badly, but I just didn’t have the right headspace to get wasted and forget. I needed to feel that pain, and do it with my girl.
I’m so fucking in love with her, it’s ridiculous. And that sweet boy.
My God, nothing in my life besides my family ever meant anything until they showed up in it. I’m going to marry her one day, and I want to be an official dad to Roman. And then I want to have more babies and just fill our house with more love that I ever thought possible.
My inner thoughts sound like they just walked out of a romance novel, but meh. It’s all true, so why bother denying the way I truly feel. As I dry off some glasses sitting on the rack, I watch as Brax, Hawk, and Hawk’s girlfriend, Skye, come walking into the bar, with Hayes pulling up the rear. They all settle in at their usual high top, and I grab a round of beers and a Cosmo for Skye before taking them all their drinks.
“First round is on the house,” I announced, and Skye just thanks me softly.
“Top notch service, my man,” Hayes tells me, and I just slap his back.
“Not that I mind a free beer, but what’s the occasion?” Hawk asks, and I just shrug, stuffing my hands in my back pockets.
“I hate that I sort of went AWOL on y’all last week, and while I know a beer isn’t always the answer, it’s just my way of saying thank you. So, thank you,” I tell him, and he lifts his beer in thanks.
“Gray told me about that call. I’m glad you’re doing better,” Skye tells me, and I smile when Hawk kisses the side of her head. Those two are so damn perfect together.
“Thanks. It was all because of my girl. She made sure that I was taken care of, and I have zero doubts that I’d still be a complete mess if I didn’t have her.”
Skye’s smile grows, and she sets her drink on the table. “When are you finally going introduce her to us? We all want to meet the girl who stole your heart, Cooper.”
“Soon,” I say with a wink, and then I make my way back over to the bar to help my brother with the growing crowd of customers. It looks like we’re in for a busy night, and while I know that it’s good for my bank account, it’s not good for my heart, that wants to be home with my family.
I’m barely four hours into my shift here, and I’m dead on my feet. With the bar settling down for a few minutes, I tell Axel I’m grabbing a break and make my way out back to the offices. Settling down at my desk, I pull my phone from my pocket and dial Haley, holding it to my ear as I let it ring and ring. When it goes to voicemail, I leave her a short message before repocketing my phone.
While it’s not like her to not answer, a glance at my clock tells me that it’s eight fifteen, so she could be in the middle of getting our boy to bed.
Our boy .
That’s what I’ve come to think of sweet Roman, and I hope one day I can make it official.
After guzzling down a bottle of water, I decide to get back out there. Sooner I finish this shift, the faster I can go home. Stepping behind the bar, I glance up when the main door opens and in walks the most stunning girl I’ve ever seen.
Haley is wearing a navy-blue dress with tiny straps, and it stops mid-thigh. Her long red hair is down, and she did something to make it super shiny and straight, not it’s normal wavy appearance. She has on no makeup but for a red lip, and she’s wearing heels that make her legs go on for days.
Holy fuck.
Scooting out from behind the bar, I make a beeline for her and when she notices me coming, her lips tip up in a sultry grin. Stopping in front of her, I bend over to kiss her cheek, before gently placing another to her lips.
“Hey, stud,” she greets, and I’m about thrown on my ass with the heat in her eyes. My dick immediately takes notices, and boy, does he like what he sees.
“Hi, sweetness. You look fucking gorgeous.”
“Thank you.”
“Who has Roman?” I ask, ushering her to the side so I can hear her better, not missing the knowing looks coming off the table that now has almost my entire crew standing around.
“Beth. I wanted to surprise you,” she says, and I reach down to curl my hand around her hip.
“Oh, trust me, Hales. I’m surprised alright. I’m glad you’re here though. Most of the guys are here, and Hawk’s girlfriend, Skye, was asking when they’d finally get to meet you.”
“Well, I can’t wait to get to know them. But first, do you have an office here?” she asks, and I just nod before raising my eyebrow.
“Yeah. I actually just came from back there, tried calling you. But you walked in seconds later, so I assume you didn’t see that.”
She shakes her head, and with her hand clasped in mine, I lead her out back to where my office is. We step inside and when I turn around, she’s slamming the door shut behind us. I’m barely able to take a breath when she’s on me, arms winding tight around my neck as she smashes her lips onto mine in a searing kiss.
Bending down, I grab her under the ass and lift her, before I sit in my desk chair and she straddles my lap. Groaning into her mouth, I tangle my fingers in her hair, before trailing them down her back and coming to a stop as I fill my hands with her generous ass.
“Coop,” she breathes out, tossing her head back as I thrust up against her.
“My girl is awful worked up tonight, huh?” I rasp, leaning up to capture her mouth again.
“I want you. I’ve wanted you so badly for weeks,” she admits, and my heart clenches when I realize that while I had been protecting her, and trying to prove that she could trust me fully, we both also have needs that aren’t being met.
“I know. I just wanted to make sure we were really ready before we took that step.”
“I’m ready, trust me.” She threads her fingers through my hair, and holds on as I latch my hands on her waist, and move us together, our hips rocking in sync before I break the kiss.
“Tonight,” I tell her, and she bites down on her bottom lip, nodding while her thighs tighten around my hips. Groaning, I have to physically move her off of me before my dick decides to take over for my brain. “Fuck, baby. You can’t do that.”
“Fine,” she pretends to pout, before laughing at my situation.
“Now, I need a minute before I can go back out there.”
She giggles at my pain, this evil woman, before she strides over to the door. “You’ll be okay, Coop.”
“Sure, you just have damp underwear, meanwhile everyone can see what you did to me.”
“Damn right,” she says proudly, before marching out of the room. I give myself a couple seconds to get control of myself before I find her waiting for me in the hallway. She’s waiting with a napkin in her hand, and with gentle hands she wipes my mouth, and I’m grateful she did that. God, the shit I would have been in for if I’d gone out there with her lipstick all over me.
Not that I’d really have cared. It’s a badge of honor having the most beautiful woman in the world at my side. Now, I just need to find a way to get out of here early so I can show her.
Tonight was a blast. After introducing Haley to the crew, she made fast friends with Skye and I was able to get back behind the bar to finish my shift. She stuck to water all night, and while I normally nurse a couple beers while I’m working, I decided to skip them so I could have a full level head for tonight. As the minutes have counted down to closing, I’ve gotten more amped up and turned on at the thought of how tonight will go.
She told me earlier that Beth dropped her off here, and that Roman is staying overnight, so we’ll have the house to ourselves for the first time ever. We’re getting ready for last call when Axel comes over to me with an armful of dirty glasses.
“Why don’t you guys take off,” he offers, setting them into the sink behind us.
“You sure?” I ask, and he roars with knowing laughter.
“Dude, you’ve both been eye fucking each other for the last five hours. Take your girl home. I’m sick of being in danger of vomiting all over the customers.”
Punching him in the arm, I toss my dish towel down and hurry to lock up my office before running out onto the floor. Haley is standing with Skye, the two deep in conversation as the guys talk about something that happened at the station earlier.
“Well, it was great to see everyone tonight, but I need to steal my girl away.” Grabbing her up into my arms, I don’t give her a chance to argue as I carry her out of the bar to loud cat calls and whistles from my guys. I keep Haley in my arms until we reach my SUV, and I set her down on her feet before pressing her up against the side of my vehicle.
“My guy is awful worked up tonight, huh?” she teases, a play on my earlier words lighting my skin in sensations.
“Damn fucking right,” I growl, and right there in the parking lot I devour her mouth, not caring who sees us. All too soon, I break the kiss and help her get inside the vehicle, but not before landing a hard smack on that luscious ass, and she just lets out a little growl of her own. The drive home feels like it takes an hour, but in actuality is only about ten minutes.
Pulling in the driveway, we rush inside and the second the front door is secure behind us, it’s on. I lift her in my arms and hustle us to my bedroom, before setting her down on her feet. I watch as she kicks off her heels and walks over to me.
Deft fingers undo my belt as our mouth duel in the hottest kiss I’ve ever had, her teeth biting and sucking at my bottom lip. Yanking the belt out of the loops, she gets my pants opened and then her small hand is inside and running over my hard cock.
“Fuck,” I grunt, grabbing hold of her hair to better control the kiss.
“You’re so hot and hard,” she murmurs against my lips, and I bite down on her neck.
“I want you so fucking bad, sweetness.”
“What do you want, Cooper?” she breathes, and I nibble on her earlobe.
“Whatever you want, Hales.”
Nodding, she reaches down and grabs the hem of my tee, before pulling it over my head. Tossing it somewhere behind us, she smooths her hands over my chest, before licking one of my nipples, causing my entire body to shudder in pleasure. She smiles against my skin before kissing her way down my chest to just under my belly button.
“Jesus Christ,” I utter, tossing my head back as she hooks her fingers in the sides of my jeans and underwear, pulling both down my hips until my hard cock springs forward, the tip already leaking pre-cum. I fist her hair gently as she teases her tongue over the flushed head, and I reach out with my other hand to rest on the wall, steadying myself so my knees don’t buckle on me. She’s barely touched me and I already want to blow.
“You taste good,” she whispers, before taking more than half of me deep into her throat.
“Holy, fuck! Haley, baby, holy shit.”
Between her hand and whatever she’s doing with her tongue, she has me fighting the urge to fuck in and out of her hot little mouth and pump my cum down her throat. I tighten my fingers in her hair, and the other makes a fist and slams against the wall as I begin rocking my hips in tune with her movements.
“Damn it, you’ve got to stop, I’m so close,” I grit out, trying to pull her away from my dick, but she pulls from my hold and looks up at me, her hand still stroking me slow and hard.
“You said whatever I want, right?” she asks, and I nod, trying to slow my breathing down.
“Yeah.”
“Well, what I want is for you to fuck my mouth and come down my throat. I want to take care of my boyfriend, and then I want him to lick me clean.”
Motherfucker. This girl.
“Fuck, you have a filthy mouth,” I tell her, and she just winks. My eyes fall shut when she runs her tongue through the slit, the head so sensitive that it’s not going take much more for me to explode. “Suck me deep, Hales. Please.”
Well, when I woke up this morning, I certainly didn’t think tonight would end with me begging Haley to finish sucking my dick, but here we are.
She does as I ask, and the second her other hand comes into play and begins rolling my sac in her fingers, I let out a hoarse shout and begin pumping my hips gently, trying not to force her to take more than she can handle. But then she pushes her head down as far as possible, and she chokes, the constriction around my cock too much for me to handle, and my release hits me out of nowhere, streams of cum shooting down her throat.
“Oh, shit. Shit, Haley, It’s so good. Don’t stop, please, baby.”
I shiver as her nails score down my bare thighs, and once she’s swallowed every drop of my release, I take all of three seconds to breathe before I pull her up from the ground and lift her in my arms.
Carrying her to the bed, I drop down to my back and pull her up to straddle my chest. “Dirty girl. Where the fuck did you learn to do that?” I ask breathlessly, unzipping the back of her dress as she kisses me hard, the taste of my release still on her tongue, and damn, does that turn me the fuck on.
“My latest romance novel,” she laughs, and I just strip her dress over her head, and then she’s sitting on me in nothing more than a plain white bra and no underwear.
“Fuck,” I bite out, smacking her ass hard as I take in her soaking wet pussy right in front of me. “You were in my bar all night with no fucking panties on, dripping wet for me?”
“Mmhmm. Please, Cooper,” she begs, and I waste no time pulling her up my body. She squeals when I lower her to my face, and she tries to pull away. “I’m too heavy,” she argues.
With my eyes locked on her, I lean forward to lick a wet stripe from her ass to her clit, and let out a moan. “The fuck you are,” I rasp, and I give her ass another hard spank. “Now sit on my fucking face, Haley. I want to eat my girl.”
Her legs tremble with my words, and I guide her hands to grab the mattress next to my head. “Hang tight, baby. I’m starving.”
She cries out loudly the second I latch onto her clit. Wrapping my left arm tightly around her waist, I use the other hand to rub circles around her entrance, and with her plump little clit between my lips, I slide two fingers inside her, groaning loudly against her pussy as her body sucks my digits in and tightens around them.
“Coop, I’m so close, oh my God.”
“Yeah, you are. You gonna come all over my face, sweet girl?”
“Yes, oh please, please .”
“That’s it,” I praise, my cock already hard and begging to be inside of her. But I need to see her shatter all over me first. “That’s my good girl,” I tell her, before sinking a third finger inside and wiggling them up against her most sensitive spot.
On a loud wail, her back arches and she grinds down on me as she gets impossibly tighter, and rocks her hips frantically against my mouth as she comes so fucking hard, and so fucking beautifully.
Christ, she’s a vision, and as I coax her through the last waves of her release, I reach up to unsnap her bra, and I groan loudly as I get my first view of her perfect bare breasts, rosy nipples hard and ready for me to suck on them.
“Damn, that was so beautiful,” I rasp out, and then I scoot us back on the bed so I can open my end table. “Just let me grab a condom and I’ll show you how much I liked that.”
“No condom,” she says, and I’m barely aware of what she’s said when my eyes cross, her wet pussy rubbing up and down my bare shaft, the sight of my thick cock between her wet lips and the taste of her release on my tongue pushing me over the edge.
“Baby…”
“I have an IUD, and I was tested after Ethan dumped me. Have you been tested?”
“Every year,” I confirm, gripping tight to her ass as she begins to sink on my dick. “I’m negative, and I haven’t been with anyone in four years.”
“Then fuck me, March, and make me yours.”
“You were mine before I even knew your name,” I tell her, and the tears in her eyes have me sitting up straight, so we’re nose to nose, and then she fully takes me inside, her ass settling on my thighs.
“You are everything to me, Haley girl. Fucking everything,” I confess, and on a choked moan she lifts her hips and begins riding me in a tantalizing rhythm, her hips doing some swivel move that has me seeing stars and rocking my hips from below. Leaning forward, I suck a beaded nipple into my mouth and she moans loudly, scratching her nails down my back.
“Mark me,” I demand, and I let out a deep moan when her nails dig in. “That’s it. Show me who I belong to.”
“Coop,” she whines, and I take mercy on her, running my fingers down her flat stomach before bringing them down to where we’re connected, finding her clit and pinching the hard bud between two fingers. “Yes!”
“That’s my girl,” I coax, thrusting up so hard she’s fucking bouncing on my cock. “Fuck me, Hales. You’re squeezing me so tight. You make me so hard, this perfect fucking girl I was given. You’re so motherfucking perfect.”
“I’m so full,” she whimpers, and I huff out a breath, my ego taking such a ride I’m not prepared for, not that it bothers me in the slightest. If anything, my dick hardens even further at how good it’s making her feel.
“Tightest pussy,” I grunt, rubbing her clit harder, wanting her to lose it completely. “My good girl, aren’t you, sweetness. God damn it, riding my cock so good.”
Haley starts rocking her hips harder, and I’m no longer capable of speaking or dirty talk. Together, we move as fast as we can, both of us desperate to reach the end together. The sounds of skin slapping and moans and cries fills the room in the perfect symphony of passion. Her arms tighten around my neck and I bury my face in her shoulder, my balls tight and ready to explode.
“There you go, Hales. Come for me, baby, fucking come for me.”
A few more strokes of her clit and she throws her head back as her release hits her, and as she pulses around my dick, I chase my own release and continue pumping my hips up, the telltale tingling at the base of my spine telling me it’s about to hit me. She shudders with the aftershocks, and when she tightens even further, I’m done for.
Wrapping my arms around her back, I hold her as tight as possible as I spill inside of her, my thighs trembling as my release runs through me, and my hands shake when my body finally relaxes. Falling to my back, she comes with me and lays across my chest, both of us panting and trying to catch our breath.
“Holy hell, that was…” she breaks off with a giggle, and I just laugh, tightening my arms around her. Carefully slipping out of her body, I roll us to our sides and kiss her deep, our panting breaths washing over each other’s faces.
“Perfect,” I finish for her, and in this moment I just know.
I’ll never be the same again.
