Chapter Twenty-Five
Nash
“She’ll be fine, Ren. She can’t not drive for the rest of her life.” Stepping back, I turn towards him. “We’ll go slow and we aren’t goin’ that far. If she can’t handle it, we’ll turn back around.”
“Alright, man. Are we still good for Saturday night?” Ren lifts a brow and grins.
“Yep, Cole is going to take her for a walk down to the creek while we set up.” I smile back at him as excitement rolls through my body.
“I’ll go grab her, and you two can get out of here.” Turning on his heels, Ren yells over his shoulder, “Don’t do anything I wouldn’t do!”
Letting out a laugh, I turn and double-check I have everything.
I’ve been planning this night since Lucy came home, but I was worried about her injuries.
She seems to be doing better, and with Ember back home and a cloud-free forecast, tonight is the perfect night for my plan.
I cover the items in the truck bed with a blanket, trying to keep them a secret before we get there.
The front door shuts, causing nervousness to spread throughout my body.
I let out a breath and meet Lucy at the porch.
“What’s going on, Nash?” Lucy asks, looking around. “Ren said you wanted to see me.”
“I do.” I give her my best smile and reach for her hand.
“Okay?” Lucy tentatively puts her hand in mine and gives me a curious glance.
“Will you go somewhere with me?” I try to hide the nervous anxiety coursing through my body.
“Nash Blackwell, are you nervous?” Her eyes open wider, and she giggles.
I let out a small chuckle. “A little bit. I’m worried you’ll say no.”
Lucy throws her head back and laughs. It’s music to my ears, and I can’t help but laugh with her.
Lucy looks back at me and asks, “Where are we going?”
“Well, you’re goin’ to need shoes on those feet first.”
“I’ll be right back.” Lucy lets go of my hand and runs inside to grab shoes. She takes less than fifteen seconds before she’s back, grinning from ear to ear. “Alright, Mr. Blackwell, where are we off to?” She hooks her arm through mine, and I walk her towards the truck.
Lucy’s steps falter when we get within a few feet of the old Chevy. I feel her grip tighten on my arm, and I can hear her shaky breaths. I step in front of her and place my hands on her arms, looking her directly in the eyes.
“We aren’t goin’ far, Darlin’. I promise you will be safe.
We can go back inside right now if you want.
” Lucy looks to the ground and drags the toe of her shoe from side to side between us, biting her cheek.
I gently lift her chin with my fingers, and her gaze comes back to mine.
I can see the worry and anxiety swimming in her eyes. “Do you trust me?”
Her features soften as she lets out a sigh. “Yes.”
I step back to her side, and she grabs my hand for the last few steps to the truck.
Opening the door, I motion for her to get in.
She pulls herself up and sits on the seat.
I close her door and make my way around the front of the truck.
Hopping into my seat, I notice Lucy’s leg bouncing.
I pat the spot right next to me, silently asking Lucy to sit in the middle of the bench seat beside me.
She slides over, and I smile at her, trying to help calm her nerves.
Heading through the field, I place my arm on the back of the seat around Lucy’s shoulders.
She leans into me and rests her head on my chest. I can tell her breathing is evening out as I place a kiss on the top of her head.
We drive for a few minutes before I stop and shut off the truck.
“Stay here for a minute,” I say, opening the door.
Lucy gapes at me before giving me a soft smile and nodding.
I wink before closing the door, causing Lucy to let out a giggle.
Rounding the back, I let down the tailgate and climb in.
Laying out the blankets and pillows, I grab the cooler and set it to the side.
I jump down and open the door for Lucy. Leading her to the back of the truck, my heart is pounding.
“Close your eyes, Darlin’.”
Lucy lets out an excited squeal and grabs my hand as I help her from her seat.
Please let her like this.
“Open.” My heart pounds loudly in my chest as Lucy opens her eyes.
When she sees the blankets and snacks I laid out for her, she gasps, covering her mouth. Her eyes meet mine with a shine.
“You did this for me?” Her voice is quiet.
“Of course, Darlin’. If you want to climb in and get settled, I’ll start puttin’ the screen up.”
“A screen?” Lucy looks at me and cocks an eyebrow.
“Can’t have snacks, drinks, and a movie without a screen, can you?
” I chuckle, and Lucy’s smile is the biggest I’ve ever seen on her.
I want to see her like this forever. Helping her into the makeshift bed, I get in and start setting the movie up.
Once I’m finished, I open the cooler and grab our drinks.
Lucy takes the beer bottle from my hand as I sit down next to her.
She looks over at the sun setting behind the mountains.
“So, what are we watching?” Lucy asks, taking a sip.
“You have two choices. Cheesy romcom or action.”
“Cheesy romcom, please.” Lucy giggles into her drink.
“Whatever you want, Darlin’.” I grab my phone and connect it to the projector and then start the movie.
Lucy moves to sit between my legs, her back to my chest, and I wrap my arms around her as she leans into me.
I spend the movie feeling Lucy laugh against my chest and inhaling her scent.
I’m elated she agreed to come out here with me, and I spend most of the movie smiling because of her.
When the movie ends, she tilts her head to face mine.
“Thank you, Nash. This was perfect.”
I place a quick peck on her forehead, and we let the credits roll in silence. Getting up to take the screen down after, I glance at Lucy, who is staring at the stars in awe. I take a seat next to her when I’m finished, and she turns to me.
“I forgot how beautiful the stars are. You couldn’t see them like this in the city.” She looks back up to the sky.
“I bet. All those big city lights ruinin’ the real view.
” Lucy laughs and nods her head. I look at her in the light of the moon.
Her bright eyes match the stars in this moment, so I sneak my phone out and snap a quick picture.
Lucy must feel my eyes on her a few moments later because she turns her gaze to me.
“What is it, Nash?” She’s still smiling.
“Just looking at the prettiest view I’ve ever seen.” I hold her eyes in mine as a blush creeps across her cheeks and she brushes her hair behind her ear. A boom of thunder sounds in the distance, causing the connection to break as we look to the mountains.
“You’d think Mother Nature was done being pissed off.” Lucy scoffs. Her eyes grow wide. “Nana’s house! Is it—”
I cut her off. “It’s fine. The roof is repaired, and the walls are replaced. It will be fine with a little rain. We, however, better get moving faster than those clouds.”
Laughing together, we pack up the cooler and fold the blankets.
Helping her down from the bed of the truck, she falls into my chest. She looks up at me from under her lashes, and it feels as though she’s peering into my soul.
I flick my eyes to her lips for a moment as she bites the lower one.
She stands on her tiptoes, and I meet her the rest of the way, capturing her kiss.
I run my tongue along the seam of her lips, and she eagerly opens them.
Our tongues collide in a fury of desire.
She wraps her arms around my neck while I lift her up, her legs immediately wrapping around my waist. I grip her ass with one hand as the other snakes its way through her hair.
Giving a small tug, Lucy moans into my mouth.
I pull a little harder, breaking the connection between our mouths as I pepper kisses across her jaw, down to her neck.
There’s a clap of thunder and rain starts pouring down on us.
Lucy squeals before I let her go, and we run to climb inside the truck.
We’re still laughing as I start the truck and turn up the heat.
I rub my hands together for warmth and look at Lucy.
Her hard nipples are peeking through her top, and it makes my mouth water.
I glance up to her face, and she’s staring at me.
Her breath hitches, and her icy blue eyes swim with hunger.
Lucy pats the middle of the seat, and I shift over.
She lifts a leg over mine, straddling both sides of my hips as her hands slide to the back of my neck.
“Thank you, Nash. I really mean it.”
Lucy glances at my lips before leaning in to connect hers to mine.
I grab her ass with both hands and squeeze.
Lucy’s groan is subtle until I bring one hand to her breast and softly pinch her nipple through her shirt.
She reaches for the hem of it and pulls it over her head, discarding it on the floor.
I kiss her neck, making a trail down to the swell of her breasts before flicking a nipple with my tongue.
Lucy takes a sharp breath and throws her head back.
I do it again, and she moans. I alternate between sucking one nipple and pinching the other until Lucy is writhing against me.
The sounds she lets out are making my cock strain painfully in my jeans, so I twist our bodies and gently lay her back down on the seat.
Hovering over her, I continue to kiss and suck my way down from her breasts to the top of her shorts.
Pausing, I glance up at her, and she says, “Please, Nash.”
I kiss her stomach as I work the buttons on her shorts, tracing my lips down her legs as I pull them off.
I take in her body as she scoots herself up a few inches, her head resting against the door.
She’s beautiful. Her eyes are filled with lust as I take off my own shirt and add it to the growing pile on the floor.
I squish myself against the driver door and lean down, swiping my tongue between her legs.
Her moan ignites the hunger in my bones, and I wrap my arms around her legs, holding her steady while I feast on her dripping pussy.
Every time I nip or suck Lucy’s clit, she releases a new sound, and all I want to do is see how many different moans she has.
“Nash, I need more.” The breathlessness in her voice as she says my name almost makes me come right then and there.
I drag my tongue from her entrance to her clit once more, and Lucy’s back arches. The thunder drowns out her cry as the rain continues to beat down outside the truck.
“Come here, Darlin’.”
I sit up, situating myself in the seat before she sits on her knees and reaches over to release me from my jeans. Lifting my hips to assist her pulling them down, she places a soft kiss on the tip of my cock before wrapping her lips around it.
“Fuck, Darlin’.” I lift her head up, and she releases me with a popping noise. “If you do that, I’m going to come much quicker than I want to, and I really want to feel you come around my cock.”
Moving her onto my lap, she lines her entrance up with the head of my cock before she slowly slides down, inch by inch. We both groan as she takes her time adjusting to my size, stopping before I’m fully in her.
“I’m not sure I can take much more.” She throws her head back and swirls her hips, causing a growl in my throat. “I feel so full.”
Cocking my head to the side, I lift my hips and bury myself in her. She gasps and locks her eyes with mine.
“I knew you could do it. Such a good girl, Lucy.”
She moans as I grip her ass, lifting her up and easing her back down.
She whimpers but starts using her knees to control her movements.
I suck one of her nipples into my mouth and flick the tip as she gains momentum, riding me the way she wants.
She closes her eyes, and I can tell by the way her walls flutter around me she’s close.
“Eyes on me, Darlin’. I want to watch you fall apart when you’re riding me.”
Her eyes shoot open as she stares into mine.
She rests her forehead against mine, our breaths mingling.
I bring a hand between us and pinch her clit, just enough that the pain is covered with pleasure.
Lucy’s mouth drops open, and I do it again.
Her eyes are full of lust as she pulls her head back, screaming my name as her pussy clenches around my cock.
I pull her mouth to mine as I thrust in and out of her a few times before my release finds me.
Thunder cracks outside the truck again as we ride out the aftershocks of what’s happened.
She slips off me before reaching down and grabbing our wet clothes. I stare at her for a moment before she glances my way with a smile gracing her face. We get dressed, and as I reach for the shifter, she speaks up.
“What does this mean?” Her voice is barely audible over the rain as she flicks her gaze to the floor.
“What do you mean, Darlin’?”
“What is this? I’ve slept with you and Ren. Ren comes into my room some mornings. You sleep with Ren, too. Who also sleeps with Cole,” she pauses, taking a deep breath. “What does this mean?” She looks up at me nervously, biting her lower lip. The wheels in her beautiful head are turning.
“I think that’s up to you. You know we all care for you. We want you here with us. We don’t mind sharin’ if that’s what you’re worried about.” She looks back down at her feet. “What do you want this to mean, Darlin’?” I can see the war inside her head, and I’m sure this is a new feeling for her.
“I’m not sure, Nash. I’ve never been in this situation before,” she says, shaking her head.
“Well, you don’t have to have the answer right now, but I can’t guarantee Ren won’t be tryin’ to sway your decision. That man has got it bad for you.” We both chuckle as I start the drive to the house, thunder filling the silence the entire way back.
The rain is still coming down hard when I park the truck in the driveway.
I throw my driver's side door open and pull her across the bench seat.
We run to the porch, hands locked together.
Before I can open the front door, Lucy yanks me back.
She wraps her arms around me tight, squeezing my chest and whispering another quiet thank you right below my ear.
I drop a kiss onto her forehead, and we stand there for a few minutes before making our way inside.
