Chapter Five
“Your parents are so cool,” Hawk said.
Katie laughed and he glanced toward her.
His sister had dropped him off in town, because his truck had finally decided to cause him a few troubles.
He and his dad were going to check it out when he got back into town.
Until then, he needed to buy a freaking car.
Of course, nowhere in Hope was open on a Sunday.
Asking his sister for a ride had been low for him.
Growing up, he’d been the one to take her places, not the other way around.
Sarah loved it. She was more than happy to do the little sister routine, where he’d done the big brother routine.
“They like you,” Katie said.
“That’s good. Your mom is one hell of a cook,” Hawk said, holding up his foil-wrapped package.
Ana refused to let him leave without leftovers.
There were meat and vegetables wrapped up together.
In a separate little baggie he had a nice, large slice of chocolate cake with fudgy frosting.
It had been a good dinner, one he thoroughly enjoyed.
At first, he had been a little terrified about what was to come. Katie hadn’t exactly looked all that welcoming, but he didn’t have to worry. There had been a smile on her lips as they sat through dinner. Even now, walking side by side.
The sun was still up, and it was just a little after five. He wanted to walk her home. Katie offered to drive him home, but he had refused. He had a sneaking suspicion Sarah was waiting with bated breath for him to call. He was not going to spoil that for his sister.
They arrived at Katie’s and walked up to the door.
“Do you want to come in for some coffee?” she asked.
“I’d love to.”
He was more than happy to phone his sister, but if he didn’t have to, he wouldn’t. Besides, he had a feeling his sister would like the fact that he was getting along so well with Katie.
Katie opened the door and they stepped inside. Hawk felt instant warmth as he walked into her house and remembered this was not the place she had shared with Adam.
There were a lot of pictures around, but he also noticed there were not many of Adam.
He saw a single wedding photo, the same one at her parents’ place.
It showed her and Adam, and someone must have said something funny as they were both laughing.
They were snuggled up together and looking so damn happy with one another.
There were pictures of her parents and the shop. A lot of artwork as well.
“Here, I’ll put those in the fridge for you,” she said, taking his wrapped packages.
“Do you want me to take my shoes off?” he asked.
“That is up to you. Just be comfortable and make yourself at home.”
He kept his shoes on, but followed her into the kitchen. It wasn’t overly large, but it was open, neat, and clean. The cupboards were a light brown, with marble counters. She had a large fridge, which she opened and placed his food inside.
He watched as she grabbed her kettle, filled it, and placed it on the stove. “How do you take it?” she asked.
She wore a dress that came down to her knees, but as she lifted up to grab a cup off the top shelf, it made the dress rise just a little, giving a better view of her legs.
He felt that temptation. She looked stunning. Beautiful even.
He couldn’t keep his gaze away from her.
“Uh, cream, one sugar.” He ran a hand down his face.
It had been a long time since he had last been with a woman, and if he was being honest with himself, he had not even come close to feeling like this about anyone else. This was new. His cock began to fill, and he felt that arousal spiraling.
She grabbed the cup and placed it on the counter.
She reached for another one, and his gaze was drawn to her legs.
Katie had always been curvy. Time hadn’t changed that.
Some guys through high school had called her fat, and a few other names.
Hawk hadn’t liked any of them, so he took matters into his own hands and took care of them.
No one knew, of course, that the reason they had broken arms was because of him.
It worked because none of them spoke to or hurt her in any way from that day forward.
He watched as she made a cup of coffee, and he saw her tuck some of her hair behind her ear.
Once the kettle made the whistling sound, he watched as she grabbed a pot holder and wrapped it around the handle so she wouldn’t burn herself. Within minutes, she had made them a cup of coffee, and they were walking into the sitting room.
Her home felt so warm, so open, and it also smelled like her. The scent of vanilla was heavy in the air, but it wasn’t too sweet or too intoxicating. It was perfect.
“I’m glad you came,” Katie said. “My parents adore you, and I think my father is already likening you to the son he never had.”
He laughed. “Good, I like that.” He took another long sip of his coffee, and it tasted so good. “You had no idea I’d been invited, did you?”
“No, my parents didn’t say anything. I found out as I opened the door to see you there.”
“I am sorry.”
She put her hand on his knees. “Don’t be sorry. You don’t need to be sorry.” She leaned forward and placed her coffee on the mat. “I had fun, and it was good to see my parents laughing.”
Hawk put his coffee down, as it was just too hot to drink, and sat back. He couldn’t help but look down at her full, plump lips. They looked so inviting. It would be wrong of him to kiss her.
Wouldn’t it?
“I know you care for my daughter. All I ask is that you don’t break her heart. Katie’s a keeper. Don’t play with her. You treat her good and with respect, and you and I will never have a problem.”
Her father had given him his blessing.
Hawk knew this was too soon, but he couldn’t resist. It had felt longer than a lifetime, and he couldn’t stop replaying the kiss they had shared on Friday night. Closing the distance between them, he cupped her cheek and leaned in closer. He waited, just a second, giving her time to tell him no.
Katie didn’t say anything, and then he left caution behind as he took possession of her lips and finally kissed her. The moment her lips touched his felt incredible. Like his whole world had finally come into alignment, and he didn’t want it to stop.
She moaned and he swallowed down the moan and cupped her hip, pulling her in closer, not wanting to let her go.
Hawk didn’t know how it happened, but just as suddenly as they were kissing, she had moved onto his lap.
He grabbed the full curve of her ass, squeezing the cheeks as he pulled her down right onto his length.
They both let out a moan, and his cock was not going down.
It was full and thick and he wanted to be inside her.
Suddenly Katie broke the kiss, and then she wriggled out of his lap. Hawk didn’t know what to expect, or if she was going to kick him right out of her front door.
She held her hand out to him, and he didn’t question it. He put his hand in hers, and she gave him a tug, pulling him up off the sofa.
They did not go to the front door, but instead made their way upstairs.
****
The following morning, Katie stood in her kitchen, her hair a hot mess, as she looked out across the garden.
The only person in her life that she had sex with was Adam.
That was it. They had lost their virginities together at prom.
It had been so corny, but they had both wanted to.
Their first time hadn’t been perfect, and it was painful.
Adam spent a lot of time apologizing, and they laughed and made it through, having sex a couple more times.
Adam hadn’t been able to have sex for long, as it was their first time. Over the years, they got better at it.
She hadn’t been with anyone else since him.
Until last night.
And it had been incredible.
She didn’t even know why she had changed her mind. Her mother had told her to stop living in the past, to start moving forward. It was what Adam had wanted.
Katie intended to invite Hawk in, have some coffee, and then tell him goodbye. Only, he’d looked down at her lips, and she didn’t know for sure, but she had a feeling he wanted her.
Rather than spend all her time thinking about what she was going to do, and how she was going to do it, she just did it. She got up and took Hawk to her bedroom.
She expected it to be awkward, to be exactly like when she was eighteen years old. Only, it had been so much more than that. Hawk had blown her mind, and even now as she sat downstairs in her kitchen, drinking her first cup of coffee, she could still feel his lips on her body.
After they had gotten naked, Hawk had promised to kiss every inch of her body, and he had not disappointed. She had never felt like that, and when his tongue had danced between her thighs, licking at her clit, gliding down toward her entrance, she had been shocked.
Hawk was large. At first, she didn’t think he was going to fit, but that would just be silly. Of course he was going to fit, and he had, and he’d blown her world.
And this morning, she had left him upstairs, so she could come downstairs and have coffee.
There was no one she could talk to. There was no way she was calling her mother and telling her about the amazing sex she had last night. She had friends, or more like acquaintances, but no one she could share her thoughts and feelings with. Right now, she was on her own.
The only real friend she had was upstairs sleeping in her bed, making it look so inviting. The blanket had covered his back, leaving his ass exposed, and she had a flash in her mind of gripping his ass as she pulled him inside her. There was no way she was going to be able to forget about this.
“Morning,” Hawk said, coming into the kitchen, pulling her out of her thoughts.
“Hawk,” she said.
He rubbed at the back of his head. “Hey.”
He looked really good naked. He was all muscle with several tattoos covering his body.
Hawk walked right up to her, put his hand on her hip, and it was like his touch was fire, as it lit her up from within, and she didn’t want it to stop. She looked up to him, and he took possession of her lips, and had her forgetting her own name for a second. How did he do that?
“You made coffee?”
She looked down at her cup that was trapped between them. “Yes, let me get you a cup.”
“You don’t have to do that.”
She needed a little distance between them, so she could focus. Having sex last night was like the last of her brain cells had vacated the premises of her mind.
“Yes, I do. You want a drink, and I am going to get you one.”
She reached for the cup and Hawk was not going to help her, as he put his hands on her hips.
“Do you have any idea how crazy you drive me, when you lift up like that and show off that delectable ass?” he asked, pressing his lips against her neck.
She closed her eyes. Pleasure rushed through her body, and it was like she couldn’t think. She had neglected her needs for so long and as his hands stayed at her sides, they were a beacon to her.
Hawk knew exactly what she wanted or what she needed, as slowly he lifted his hands up and cupped her breasts, teasing her nipples. She let out a gasp and took the cup out of the cupboard, but placed it on the counter.
Spinning around, she wrapped her arms around his neck, pressing her body flush against his, and it was in that moment she realized he was still very much naked. Other than wearing an overly large shirt, she didn’t have any clothes on either.
She broke the kiss and looked at him. Need flooded her body. Her pussy was already soaking wet as Hawk lifted her up and placed her on the counter.
She wrapped her legs around his waist, cupped his cheek, and kissed him hard. He growled, and within one yank the shirt she’d been wearing was torn to shreds and fell on the ground.
This was no longer foreplay, this was something else, more primal, hungrier, and neither of them could deny the need rushing through their bodies.
He reached down between them and started to tease her clit, and she cried out, not wanting him to stop. It felt so good. He pressed a single finger inside her, and then she felt his thumb slide across her clit.
At the same time, he kissed her, but not for long, as he broke the kiss and started to trail his lips down her neck, sucking on her pulse, and startling her with the force of his touch.
She was so close, and as he stroked her a few more times, she came apart, screaming his name. It was unlike anything she had ever felt before.
Even before she had chance to come down from the amazing high, she felt the hard ridge of his cock as inch by inch, he slowly sunk inside her. He pulled her off the counter and slid her right onto his cock. She cried out as he went deep.
“Wrap your legs around me.”
Katie did as he asked, and then he carried her through to the sitting room, taking a seat on the sofa so she was now straddling him.
He ran his hands across her hips, then down toward her ass, gripping the flesh. Squeezing her cheeks, he started to lift her up, and she cried out. This was not pain but absolute pleasure, and she didn’t want it to stop, it felt so good. Better than good.
“You drive me crazy,” he said, drawing her back down onto his length.
She put her hands on his shoulders and began to rock on his dick, taking all of him inside her.
His hands were everywhere, at her ass, up to her tits, then back down her body. His touch setting her on fire, but she wanted him to come. She wanted to feel his orgasm.
Taking possession of his lips, she didn’t stop thrusting up and down his length, seeking that peak, and the moment they went over the edge, she cried out, feeling the pulse of his cock as it flooded her core.
