Chapter 13 Skid
SKID
Idelved deeper into her mouth, and she inched even closer, making my cock throb. A light moan vibrated through her chest as I slipped my hand down between her legs and eased her lace panties to the side.
Baylor had gotten a good report from the surgeon, so Laken surprised her, and me, with a sleepover with Luna.
We finally had a night alone, and I was going to take advantage of every second of it.
I grazed her center with the tips of my fingers, and my already-hard cock pulsed against my jeans when I found she was soaked.
“You have no idea how hard it’s been to have you in my bed and not be able to have you.” Her eyes were locked on mine as I reached for her panties and slid them down her long legs. “But don’t worry. I’m about to make up for it.”
Desire flashed through her eyes as I lifted her up, then guided her to lay back on the table. I slipped my hands under her ass and pulled her to the edge. Damn. She looked so damn beautiful sprawled out on my kitchen table, bare and waiting for me with that wanton look in her eyes.
It had been so long since I’d felt anything close to what I was feeling at that moment. This woman had me so tangled up I might never get free, and I was beginning to think that wasn’t a bad thing.
A feeling of satisfaction washed over me when I skimmed my tongue across her clit, and she arched her back towards me, urging me on. I spread her trembling legs wider, and a needful moan echoed through the room as I began nipping and sucking her sensitive flesh. “So damn beautiful.”
Laken’s breath became uneven and hitched as I slipped my finger deep inside her. Focused and unrelenting, I teased her g-spot with a slow and steady rhythm, and it wasn’t long before her hips inched forward and her body began to tense.
Loving how her beautiful body responded to my touch, I continued grazing and teasing her clit with my tongue, tormenting her as she writhed beneath me.
Overcome by her impending release, Laken’s hips lifted up from the table, begging me to give her more, so I placed the pad of my thumb against her clit, teasing her until she got exactly what she needed.
Her head thrashed back as she gasped, “Yes!”
“That’s right.” I slid my tongue over her as I continued moving my fingers inside her, tormenting that spot that was driving her to the edge. Adding more pressure, I demanded, “Come for me.”
That’s all it took. While muttering my name incoherently, she submitted to her release and clamped down around my fingers. Damn. Nothing turned me on more than watching her come undone. I couldn’t wait a moment longer. I had to be inside her.
She was still in the throes of her release when I finished undressing.
My cock was hard as steel as I stood there in front of her, letting her greedy eyes soak in everything before I went to her.
Laken lowered her gaze and watched as I stepped closer.
Her expression changed from wonder to hunger as I slipped my hands beneath her and lifted her from the table.
I carried her into the bedroom, then slowly lowered her feet to the floor. I reached into the bedside table for a condom, and as I began to rip it open, she took it from my hand. “Wait.“
A mischievous look crossed her face as she bit her lip and slowly eased down on the edge of the bed, positioning herself at my hips. Her greedy eyes fixed on my throbbing cock as her fingers wrapped around me. The moment her tongue swirled around the head, I was lost.
“Ah, damn baby. You’re killing me,” I groaned.
Her lips curled into a smile as she started slowly moving her hand up and down my hard shaft, gradually tightening her fingers around me. My hands dropped to her head, tangling in her long hair, as she opened her mouth wider, taking me deep. Her mouth felt so fucking good around my cock.
Too good.
After just a few flicks of her tongue, I was close to the edge and growing closer by the second. I was already struggling when she quickened her pace, and I nearly lost it. Her warm, wet mouth was driving me wild, but I wanted more.
I slipped my hands under her arms as I pulled her back and said, “Love having your mouth on me, babe, but I need to be inside you. Now.”
Laken didn’t protest. In fact, she looked downright eager as she turned around and crawled up onto all fours, positioning her perfect ass in the air.
She glanced over her shoulder, watching intently as I rolled a condom over my throbbing cock.
A look of greedy anticipation flashed through her eyes as she watched me inch toward her.
I raked my cock against her clit. She was warm and wet, and I ached to be inside her. Clearly feeling the same, she arched her back towards me and moaned as she waited for me to take her.
“So fucking eager.”
Without any further hesitation, I took her long hair in my hand, giving it a gentle tug, and she cried out in pleasure when I plunged inside her.
I froze. She felt too fucking good. Fuck.
I couldn’t imagine a better feeling. I slowly drew back and slammed into her again and again, giving her everything I had.
Our bodies met in a punishing rhythm that quickly had us both gasping for air. Laken cried out my name as she tightened around me. With one hand on her hip and the other teasing her clit, I took her from behind with slow, deliberate strokes, savoring each delicious thrust.
She arched her back and turned her head, and a slight moan vibrated through her chest as I started to pick up my pace. She was so damn hot, so tight, like her body was made just for me.
“You’re mine, Laken. All mine.”
Laken’s breath caught, but she managed to mutter, “God, yes.”
A slight hiss slipped through her teeth as I drove into her again and again—each time a bit faster and unforgiving. Her fingers clutched the pillows as she pleaded, “Oh, fuck! I’m going to come!”
I thrust forward, driving inside her once again. Damn. I couldn’t imagine a better feeling. I drew back and slammed into her again, taking her harder and deeper.
“Fuckkk!” I shouted out as my throbbing cock demanded its release.
My fingers dug into her hips as I quickened my pace to a feverish rhythm, and Laken cried out my name, spurring me on. I didn’t expect to feel like this for her. I didn’t think it was possible to burn for a woman like I burned for her.
There was no doubt about it.
I’d fallen in love her.
As much as it terrified me, I couldn’t imagine a life without her.
Taking everything I had to give, she gyrated against me, grinding her warm, wet pussy over my cock. Fuck. This woman was going to be the death of me.
I could feel her clenching all around me as her second orgasm started to take hold.
My body grew rigid as my release inched its way through me.
I couldn’t hold back a second longer. I came, and I came hard.
I kept myself seated deep inside her, relishing in the feeling of her pulsing around my cock.
After several seconds, I dropped to the bed next to her. Her hands fell above her head with a dramatic sigh. “Holy shit.”
“Holy shit is right.” I quickly tossed the condom, then slipped my arm under her and pulled her close. “Damn. You’re fucking incredible.”
“You’re the incredible one.” She rested her head on my chest as she whispered, “I love you, Thatch.”
My breath caught. I’d hoped she felt the same way I did, and now I had my answer. She cared for me just as much as I cared for her. “God, I love you, too. More than you’ll ever know.”
We’d been lying there, tangled in each other’s arms for almost an hour when Laken slipped out of my arms and sat up in bed.
She got up and went over to my dresser, stealing one of my T-shirts and pulling it over her head like she owned it.
She pulled it over her bare bottom as she announced, “I’m going to grab some water. You want anything?”
“Yeah,” I answered, stretching back against the pillows. “Grab me a beer.”
“Sure thing.”
Smiling, she darted out of the bedroom. I listened to her soft footsteps as she made her way down the hall. The fridge door opening and closing. The sink turning on and off. Domestic sounds. Familiar sounds. One I didn’t realize I’d been missing until she and Bay had moved in.
Seconds later, she returned with our drinks and the handful of mail I’d collected from her place on the way home from work.
She handed me my beer, then climbed onto the bed beside me as she started flipping through the envelopes.
And then, her whole body went still, and the blood drained from her face.
Concerned, I asked, “What is it?”
“The bill from the hospital. I wasn’t expecting it so soon.”
“What’s the damage?”
I watched her hold her breath as she tore it open. She stared at the paper for a second, then her head fell back and she groaned with frustration. “Three thousand dollars! How in the world am I going to pay this?”
Seeing her upset fucked with my head. I sat up and placed my hand on her thigh as I said, “It’s okay. We’ll figure it out.”
“There’s no we to it, Thatch,” Laken argued. “This is on me. Baylor is my daughter.”
“Yeah, she is, but you’re my girl. And I take care of what’s mine.”
Her eyes softened, and I could see that wall she liked to hide behind starting to crack.
I didn’t say it to make a point. I said it because I meant it.
Laken wasn’t ready to hear it, so she kept at it.
“I don’t want you having to take on my mess.
It isn’t fair. I won’t do it. I just need some time to think. ”
“What’s there to think about?”
“Everything, Baylor. Work. Bills. My apartment,” she said, voice tight. “Things were going so well, and now, this. It’s like I’m not meant to have a good life.”
“That’s not true. You deserve it more than anyone I know.”
“Clearly not.”
I took her hand in mine as I said, “We’ve got something good here, don’t we?”
“We do,” she admitted. “But we have to be realistic about things. We’ve only known each other for a little while. Who’s to say you’ll even like me a month from now?”
“I will.”
“But how can you be sure?”
“Because I do. You’re it for me, Laken. Knew that the night I found you standing on the side of that road.”
“Is that right?” she giggled.
“No doubt about it.” I gave her a look. “You saying you don’t feel the same?”
“No,” she sighed. “I’m not saying that at all.”
“That’s what I thought.”
“It doesn’t change anything. I’m still in a mess.”
“Don’t have to be.” Her brows furrowed. “I have an answer to all your woes.”
“Oh, and what’s that?”
“It’s pretty simple.” I slipped my arm around her waist and pulled her close. “Stay here.”
“Oh, I thought you were being serious.”
“I am,” I said softly, my thumb tracing her jaw. “It’s been good having you here. I want you and Baylor to stay.”
“I appreciate the offer. I really do, but this is too soon. I can’t.”
“Why not?”
“It’s too soon.” She raked her teeth across her bottom lip and sighed before continuing, “I like what we have. I like it a lot. I’ve never felt about anyone the way I feel about you, and I don’t want to mess it up.”
The last thing I wanted to do was to rush into something we weren’t ready for, but there was no doubt in my mind. I wanted her with me. Not because she was in a bind or I didn’t think they were safe in that apartment. Because having them in my home never felt temporary. It felt right.
I loved her.
I wanted to be with her, and because of that, I suggested, “How about a compromise?”
“What kind of compromise?”
“You and Baylor stay here until you get caught up on your bills, and if there comes a time when things get out of sorts, we will do something different.”
“I’m not sure that’s a compromise.”
“Sure, it is,” I pushed. “You get a chance to get caught up on your bills, and I get to have you and Baylor here with me. It’s a win-win.”
“You make it sound so simple.”
“Because it is.”
“I have a lot of stuff. It’s a dozen or more trips back and forth, and we both have work and a little girl in a cast.”
“I’ll take care of it. You won’t have to lift a finger.” I could tell that I was getting to her, so there was no holding back my smile as I asked, “So, what do you say?”
