Chapter 26 – Emmett
Chapter Twenty-Six
EMMETT
“W hat the hell is that noise?” I grumble as I hear the soft sound of bells fill the room.
“My alarm,” she mumbles from behind me. I’m on my stomach in the middle of my bed, and she’s draped over me. Her front is plastered to my side; her legs tangled with mine as her hand drapes over my back. “Can you get it?”
I let go of the pillow I wrapped my arms around not too long ago and grab her phone off the bedside table. “Jesus, what fucking time is it?” I hiss when I see that not even the sun is up.
“It’s just after five,” she whispers as I turn off her phone, putting it back on the side table before turning into her.
“Emmett,” she moans out my name as I bury my face in her neck and pull her even closer to me.
“Take this off,” I hiss as I pull up my T-shirt she put on last night after I went to dispose of another condom I used. At this rate, I’m going to have to get another fucking box.
She lifts her hands over her head so I can get rid her of the T-shirt as I toss it to the other side of the bed, bending down and taking a nipple into my mouth. “Emmett,” she moans out my name.
“Yeah, baby.” I turn to her other nipple, taking it into my mouth and sucking it, then nibbling on it, and her back arches. Every fucking time I feel like it’s the first time. Every fucking time I say it is the last time, I go back for more. My goal is to fuck her out of my system, except the more I fuck her, the more I want her. She’s better than any drug I’ve ever taken in my life, and let me tell you, I’ve tried them all. All to fight the poison away, but with just one touch she pushes it back. Lets it go back into the black box I’ve let it fester in inside my body.
“Lucy?” she questions and I shake my head.
“She gets up at six thirty,” I remind her. “We’ve got time.”
“But,” she says as I turn her on her back, reaching over and grabbing a condom, “it’s too risky.”
“The door is locked,” I remind her of my bedroom door I locked last night when I dragged her into my bed after we watched television with Lucy. After she came in from doing homework for the second day in a row. This time before it got dark, and the three of us sat and had dinner like we’ve been doing it since Lucy was born.
“But what if she gets up?” Her voice trails when I turn back to her and run my hand through her pussy, sliding a finger inside her.
“We have to be fast.”
I smile as I slide another finger into her and her legs open wider, but then her hand comes out and she grips my cock in her hand. Her hand matches mine as we push each other to the edge. “Need your pussy not your hand.”
“I want to be on top,” she states, grabbing the condom from me as I turn on my back and watch her cover me. She throws a leg over me, and with one hand holding my dick and the other on my stomach, she sinks down.
“Fuck,” I hiss out, getting up and wrapping my arms around her as she rides my cock, “not going to last long.”
“You say that every time,” she says breathlessly.
“Every time it’s like I’m fucking you for the first time.” I suck her neck and then trail my tongue to her ear, flicking it. “Every time you suck the cum out of me.”
She arches her back, and I feel her pussy convulse around me. “Emmett,” she murmurs, and I wait until she’s done before I grip her by her hips, pulling her off me.
Placing her on her stomach, I lift her hips. “Hold on, baby,” I warn, slamming into her, my hands gripping her hips so tight I’m going to leave marks. She holds on to the sheets in her hands, I see her fists turn white as I fuck her harder than I’ve ever fucked anyone in my life. I make sure she feels me all fucking day long. Making sure when I see her ass later today, I’ll know it was in my hands. “I’m there,” I say, but she’s already coming on my cock. “Fuck, baby,” I hiss, planting myself all the way inside her and closing my eyes as I shoot in another fucking condom. She collapses as soon as I let her hips go and slip out of her. I slap her ass, and instead of her cursing me out, she lifts her hips again to give me what I want. “My baby likes that.” I slap the other cheek.
“I like whatever you give me, Emmett.” She says words that fill the coldness yet at the same time I feel it. “Don’t you know that by now?”
I get off the bed, feeling the poison starting to creep out. “Tonight it’s going to be very different.” I wink at her before walking into my bathroom and pulling the condom off.
I clean up, and when I get back in my bedroom, the bedroom door is open and the smell of coffee fills the room. When I put my boxers on, I make my way to the kitchen and find it empty. Listening, I hear the water running from the bathroom she shares with Lucy. It’s fifteen minutes before she comes back in, and she’s dressed for the day.
“Why didn’t you shower in my room?” I almost say our room, but I catch myself.
“You were in there. I didn’t know if you were going to get in the shower or not.” She smiles as she grabs a mug and fills it with coffee. “And we’ve come to the conclusion that the both of us can’t shower at the same time, together.”
“When did we do that?” I ask, trying not to laugh.
“Yesterday morning,” she deadpans, “last night.” She pours milk in her coffee. “Just to name a few. I’m headed out.”
“You get up every day at this time?” I ask, somewhat surprised by this new revelation.
“Monday to Friday,” she confirms. “Even though my boss is always on my ass about me not working, I actually do work.”
“I’m not your boss.” I point at her. “I’m your?—”
“You’re a pain in my ass,” she finishes. “Tell Lucy to have a nice day and I’ll see her tonight.”
“See you later,” I say without moving toward her, and she does what I want her to do before she leaves. She walks over to me and kisses my lips, and I taste toothpaste and coffee mixed.
“See you later,” she mumbles and walks out of the house, closing the door behind her.
Lucy gets up and asks where Lilah is, and I tell her she’s at work. We rush out of the house, and I take her to school. By the time I get to the barn, I spot her on one of the horses. She’s riding him with one hand on the reins, the other hand holding the horn as she laughs at something Sammy is telling her. Fuck, she’s beautiful. I slam the truck door and walk into the barn, spotting Sammy coming back inside. “Morning,” I greet him. “How long has she been on that horse?” I ask, my question tight.
“About thirty minutes,” he replies, walking away before I say something else, avoiding even looking at me.
“Morning,” Charlie says, coming in with his mug of coffee in his hand. “How are you?”
“Fine,” I respond tightly as I look over and see Bobby on the side, whispering with someone.
“What is going on?” I ask, looking around and seeing someone else look away from me.
“Word is getting around that Lilah is living with you,” he states. “There is talk about you two.”
“What the fuck?” My hands shake. “Who the fuck told them anything?”
“No idea.” He shrugs. “But it’s a small town, and you know how these things go.”
The last fucking thing I wanted was to become the gossip of the fucking bar. The last thing I wanted was for them to look at her differently.
“Sammy!” I shout his name and he comes running over. “She’s been on the horse for thirty minutes.” I motion with my head. “Tell her she’s overdoing it.”
“Um,” Sammy hesitates, his eyes going big.
“I’ll go tell her,” Charlie says. “You go and do your thing, Sammy.”
“I’ll tell her,” I huff and storm out of the barn.
“Idiot,” Charlie mumbles as I walk out toward the fenced arena. As soon as I get there, I see she’s off the horse and walking to the barn with it.
“Morning,” she says with a smile, “I was just putting her to work.”
“Yeah”—I put my hands on my hips—“write it down on the chart.” I motion with my head. “And just an FYI, people are gossiping about you living with me.”
“I know,” she says and she looks away. “Walked in on Sammy and Bobby discussing it.” She avoids looking at me. “It’s fine, it’ll be something else by this afternoon.”
“It’ll die down,” I mumble. “Besides, I’m doing it to keep you safe.”
She nods. “I have to get to my desk.”
“Give me the horse, I’ll take her in,” I snap, and she hands me the reins. “See you later.” I turn and walk toward the barn, seeing Charlie watching the whole thing.
“You good?” he asks, and I shake my head.
“No, I’m not fucking good,” I hiss, “and you better make sure no one says anything to my face about her. Or to her.”
“On it,” he replies as he turns and walks over to the guys. “How about you work in the field today, just to be safe?”
“Fuck that,” I snarl at him, “I’m not going to pretend I’m doing anything wrong. I’m taking care of her.”
“So I’ve heard.” Charlie smirks, turning and leaving me alone with the horse. My head screams that I’m going to take care of her because she’s mine at the same time the poison slowly seeps out of the box and into me, laughing like the devil.
