Chapter Ten
She frowned when he stood and walked to the door.
She started to panic when he opened the door and whistled.
He wouldn’t dare—and in walked Drew a moment later.
The men said a few words to each other so low she couldn’t hear.
Her eyes widened in alarm as she sank down until her chin touched the bubbles, covering as much as she could.
“Excuse me!” Hailey shouted at them both.
Drew stared down at her for a long, silent moment.
“That’s one of the prettiest things I’ve ever seen,” Drew murmured softly as his eyes stayed fixed on her. “That face surrounded by a fluffy white cloud of bubbles.”
Hailey’s words stuttered to a stop. She delved into his expression and only found wonder, gentleness, love, and happiness.
Hailey cleared her throat. “You can’t sweet-talk me, Drew,” she uttered smartly.
Drew smiled, took the few steps, and crouched next to the tub close to her head.
“I wasn’t sweet-talking. You are one of the most beautiful women I’ve ever seen.”
Hailey sat in disbelief. She was actually having a conversation with a man who was supposed to be her brother while naked in the bathtub.
Drew’s hand scooped up a handful of bubbles and studied them before sliding his gaze to her.
“Listen, baby, I don’t know what was said, but I can see you look confused, but it’s simple.
Yes, my brother saw you first and was the one who married you first, but I’ve always felt like I was a part of it.
I loved our conversations. You were so sweet and open.
You were a breath of fresh air in the very dark, drab places I’d been.
Talking to you two is what kept my spirits up, and the thought of coming home to you two kept me going.
I fought to come back home. For him,” Drew said, and pointed behind him with his thumb.
“And for you. The thought that you might come to care for me, be affectionate with me, Jesus. I can’t explain how much it would mean to me. ”
Hailey’s heart stuttered in her chest. To see, to think this humungous, scary-looking man kneeling beside her and talking like this was surreal, almost. Her expression softened. “I enjoyed talking to you, too,” she mumbled.
He slid his hand under the water until it came in contact with her thigh. She gasped and jerked in surprise, but he looked pleased when she didn’t pull away. “Do you think you could come to care for me?”
Hailey’s heart broke at the concern and anxiety that he tried to hide behind a gruff, muscular, scarred, tattooed exterior. “I ... I already do, Drew.”
His hand moved up and down her leg, coming close but not touching her pussy, making her silently suck in more air.
“I’m not talking about caring about me as a brother. I’m talking as a friend, lover, and eventually my wife.”
Hailey sat in stunned disbelief. There were too many emotions beating at her that she couldn’t grasp just one.
His hand moved closer until he cupped her pussy. “Do you feel brotherly towards me right now, Hailey?” His voice was dark and gritty with desire.
Hailey sucked in a startled breath, and one of her hands immediately went to his, but didn’t push him away. The large hand he had over her pussy was hard and scalding.
She shook her head. “Um, no. Not like a brother.”
His finger circled her clit. His other hand cupped her chin, and he slid his thumb over her cheek. “Maybe ... as a lover?”
“I ... I don’t... I’m not...” she sputtered as she fought her need to cry out.
He smiled gently at her. “I know, baby. You’ve only found out about what we want, and I’ve only been here a few days. I’ll give you the time you need to make a decision.”
Hailey fought to keep her eyes from closing when Drew urged half of his finger into her pussy and held it steady there. She battled to keep from moaning.
“I ... yes. Time,” she agreed.
He smiled and pulled out his finger, then circled her swollen, needy clit before standing.
“We’ll give you time and answer all your questions. All right?”
“Um ... yes, thank you.” Her eyes stayed glued to his.
He opened the door, paused, and pinned her with his eyes. “Don’t take too long, Hailey.”
She nodded hesitantly.
“And just because we give you time, doesn’t mean I’m not going to do everything in my power so you’ll make the choice we want.”
She swallowed nervously and then narrowed her eyes. “That’s playing dirty, don’t you think?”
Drew shrugged. “All’s fair,” he said, laughed, and closed the door on his way out.
She sat for a stunned second before her eyes swung to Adam’s.
“Why the blush, love?” Adam murmured, and then chuckled.
She studied his expression to see if it revealed any jealousy or anger but found none. “You really don’t care that he had a finger inside of me?”
Adam looked down and grinned. “Does this look like I had a problem?”
Hailey dropped her gaze, and her eyes widened. Adam was fully erect and pulsing against his jeans. Her eyes shot back up to his as she sat speechless for a moment.
“Come on. Let’s get you out of the tub,” he said gruffly while he flipped the drain open. He held out a hand to help steady her as she stood, and then he reached for a towel.
He dried her gently, not missing a spot.
He murmured love words to her and kissed random places as he toweled her off.
Telling her how much he loved her and the different body parts he’d become obsessed with over the years.
He picked her up and carried her into the bedroom, laying her on the bed.
He undressed quickly, and his eyes never left her.
He was visibly impatient to be inside his wife.
He came over her and rolled, pulling her on top of him.
He grinned at the surprise and then the smile that spread across her face.
He didn’t let her take the lead with sex very often, and he probably wouldn’t last this time, but it seemed he wanted to give her pleasure on her own terms right then.
He lifted her astride him and then pulled her down for a kiss.
They were both out of breath when he raised her head.
His eyes scanned her face and up to her hair.
He slipped the clip out and then groaned when her hair feathered down to gently stroke his thighs and cock.
He smoothed it away from her face before he ran his hands down over her shoulders and came to a stop at her breasts, where he cupped both in his hands.
He tormented her nipples until she was wiggling on top of him.
“Do you want me inside you, love?”
With her eyes closed, Hailey nodded and hummed.
“Then take me.”
Hailey’s eyes jerked open, and she stared at him in surprise.
With her gaze stalled on him, she rose up on her knees, positioned him, and sank down a few inches before it got stuck.
Her smile grew as his eyes grew darker from need when she lifted and dropped down a little farther, only to stall again.
“Hailey, stop teasing me.”
She laughed and shook her head. “You always tease me.”
Adam growled and gripped her hips. She balked and tightened her grip with her thighs when he tried to pull her down. He looked at her in surprise. With a look of determination, he pulled her down again and, at the same time, thrust his hips up, impaling her on his thick cock.
Hailey threw her head back and cried out. She’d never get enough of feeling him inside of her. He filled her up, and the sweet stretch always drove her wild.
After she caught her breath, she glanced down at him in startled disbelief.
“I thought I got to make the moves?” she huffed out and frowned. “That didn’t last very long.”
He tried to chuckle, but his body’s demands were shoving his ability to hold himself back.
“I need you so much, and your teasing about threw me over. Now, if you want to play, love, I’d suggest you do it quickly because I don’t know how much longer I’m going to last.”
Hailey snorted and rolled her eyes in playful disgust, then pulled herself half off of him before dropping down. She did this over and over, driving them both wild. The feeling in this position made his cock seem a little more ribbed, and it went a little bit deeper.
“You get one more minute, love,” he gritted out between his teeth.
Hailey leaned forward and gripped his shoulders. She sped up her moves, taking him deep every time. She felt the rise of an orgasm start when he flipped them over.
She screamed at the abrupt move and then cried out again when he pistoned into her, hurling her over the peak within seconds. She could feel her breath billow in and out of her, and the rhythmic tightening of her pussy was sucking him in.
He was watching her as an orgasm overtook her senses.
Then he braced himself over her and thrust his hips almost ferociously, driving himself over the peak, gaining his own pleasure, right after her.
She felt jet after jet of his cum fill her cervix and slowly leak out of her when his thrusts slowed.
Adam slumped against her as he gasped for breath, taking most of his weight with his elbows.
He moaned, and she whimpered when he was finally able to gather enough strength to slide out. He gathered her in his arms and held her tightly against his body. “I don’t ever want to hear you talk about leaving me, Hailey. Promise me.”
Hailey lifted her head to see his face. “I wasn’t going to leave you. I just thought...”
“Don’t even say it, or it will piss me off again.” He tilted her head up. “Without you, we aren’t a family.”
Hailey sighed and relaxed back against him. Her fingers sifted through the small patch of hair in the middle of his chest.
“What happens now?”
Adam drew in a silent breath. “Now we get up, dress, and go make dinner. How does chicken on the grill sound?”
Her teeth snapped together. He knew what she was asking, but apparently, he hadn’t been ready to talk, so he evaded the question. Fine by her. She knew from experience that if he wasn’t ready to speak, he wouldn’t.
“It sounds delicious,” she said, and watched as he rolled to his feet and pulled on his jeans.
Adam picked out some clothes from her dresser and put them on the bed beside her. “Come on, love. I’m suddenly starving,” he said with a big grin.
Hailey rolled her eyes and stood, putting her jeans and t-shirt on quickly.
She slipped into some slippers and left her hair down.
She followed Adam down the hallway and tried to decide what she’d do the first time she saw Drew after having his finger deep inside her pussy.
She patted her cheeks where she could feel the heat of a blush.
Oh, Lord, give her strength, she asked under her breath and to the ceiling.
