Inferno Anthology (71 page)

He started to undress, stripping off his wet clothes like I had. I would never tire of seeing his perfect body. Each part was chiseled just right. His chest was smooth, his pecs firm, his biceps were hard as rocks, and he had an eight-pack that I wanted to lick every time I saw him shirtless. The eight-pack led to the perfect V that connected to his
magic stick
that worked wonders.

He slipped into the shower against my back and began running his hands along my sides. “We have thirty minutes.”

“Then we better hurry,” I said.

He pushed my hair to one side and began kissing the side of my neck as his hand slipped between my legs and began massaging my clit. I moaned at the contact. It had been five days since I’d felt his touch, and my body instantly recognized it. My fingers didn’t do his justice.

“I’ve missed you,” he whispered in my ear.

“I’ve missed you, too,” I said, spreading my legs a little farther apart.

His left hand cupped my breast, lightly kneading it in his hand then lightly pinching my nipple. My head fell forward on my arm that was bracing my body to stay upright against the wall. He slipped a finger in while still massaging my clit, my pussy stretching a little to allow his finger to go as deep as it could.

“I’ve missed your pussy, too.”

“It’s missed you, too,” I said, trying to laugh, but a moan escaped as he pressed harder on my clit at my words.

He smiled against my neck and then ran his tongue along the slope, moving to the back of my neck and down my spine then back up. My pulse quickened, my heart beating fast and an orgasm on the brink of exploding inside me.

He withdrew his finger from inside me and added it with the one rubbing my clit. Each finger added an extra bonus—like long strokes that one alone couldn’t do. His tongue went back down my spine all the way to the tip of my crack.

His fingers worked in fluid motion, gliding against the water of the shower and the slickness of my juices. His tongue ran down my right butt cheek and my stomach clenched as an orgasm hit me.

I knew I wouldn’t last. Just seeing him naked was all I needed for my undoing, but the added bonus of his fingers made me cum hard.

I turned in his arms, the water beating down on my back. Easton leaned down, taking my mouth, our tongues tasting each other. He grabbed my face like he normally did when his kisses are intense and kissed me hard as he stepped closer to me, our bodies flush.

I could feel his hard cock on my belly, wanting attention. My right hand began pumping him, using the water as lubricant, and he groaned against my lips.

“I could get used to this,” he said, not taking his lips off mine.

“Me too,” I agreed.

His hands released my face, and he placed them on my hips and then grabbed each cheek in his palms and tugged me closer—as if there was any space between us. He grabbed my right leg, hooking it around his hip and stepped back just enough to tease my folds with the tip of his cock.

My nipples were hard, rubbing against his chest as my arms circled around his neck for support. He slid his cock slowly into me, my pussy gripping his cock like a glove. When I was with him, all thoughts of my problems disappeared and I only saw him. I didn’t have a tumor. I was Brooke Bradly and in love with Easton Crawford.

His mouth covered mine when he was fully in, thrusting his hips and rocking my core. He held my leg, balancing me as he pumped. He kissed me like he loved me: slow, passionate, hot. My hands went to their place—where they felt comfortable—in his hair at his nape.

He groaned, breaking our kiss and bent his head down to taste my neck again—a place where I’d come to learned he liked to taste. He rolled his hips, bracing himself against the wall and thrust harder into me, my foot coming off the bottom of the shower.

“See what happens when I have to wait a week?”

I couldn’t speak. Each time we had made love, it was gentle. This was gentle—but more. I couldn’t stand, my toes lightly trying to press into the tiles below my feet, but with each thrust, I slid up the wall.

I slid up and down, the water gliding my body, Easton’s cock buried deep inside me. His kisses turned hungry as he continued to rock his hips; he was close. He squeezed my breast with his free hand, pinching my nipple just a little. I moaned loud, it was so intense—so fast—so needed. We didn’t have much time or we would burn the bacon and then be interrupted by the fire department.

It was like we were made for each other. My core trembled, clenching around him as he glided in and out. My insides tightened again, I was close. I knew he could feel it, too. He pulled back, are lips pulling apart and he looked me in the eye as I came around him, squeezing him as my body convulsed. After a few more hard strokes, he came, too.

*~*~*

When we stepped out of the bathroom door, I smelled bacon. I loved bacon and apparently so did Easton. The oven timer was going off, as Easton hurried to make sure the bacon wasn’t burnt. Thankfully, it was perfect.

I offered to help him cook, but was told to sit at the breakfast bar and relax, he was making his specialty—chicken carbonara. He boiled spaghetti noodles, pan seared chicken, made a special cream, I didn’t see all the ingredients that he used, and added a bunch of bacon and cheese before handing me a plate.

Everything was delicious. I knew why it was his specialty, and I liked that he used bacon instead of pancetta. He poured me a glass of white wine and we talked. Even though I was on narcotics, I still had the occasional glass of wine—it helped the pain as well. I wanted to tell him how scared I was about my tumor, but I wasn’t ready, yet. I didn’t want him to worry about me. The less I showed anyone how scared I was, the better. Once I started to freak out, so would everyone else.

I told him about the biopsy results and he was just as confused as I was. How could a doctor not get enough sample? Especially one that specialized in biopsies? He tried to lighten the mood by telling me that it was probably some sort of mass that was actually a superpower.
Wouldn’t that be nice?

After we ate, we crawled into bed with our bellies full. I knew I shouldn’t go to bed until the pasta digested, but I was beat. It was past one in the morning and Easton had Cheyenne’s softball game at ten, plus we had to be at his parents for breakfast—a weekend ritual when Easton normally worked.

He wrapped me in his arms and I tried falling asleep, but all I thought about was meeting his parents and his daughter in just a few hours. I thought about what I was going to wear and if I’d packed anything worth meeting his parents in. I thought about my sailor’s mouth and gave myself a pep talk to not cuss as much when I saw them—if at all. I thought about Cheyenne hating me and as Easton started to snore slightly, I thought about spending the rest of my life with the man curled behind me.

Easton

W
hen my alarm went off, I was curled around Brooke’s back—the same way I fell asleep. I didn’t want to get out of bed. She was warm, soft, and my dick was so hard, I wanted to pin her down and make her moan over and over in my ear—but we didn’t have time.

I tried thinking about the game—anything to get my dick to calm the fuck down. It wasn’t working. I watched as Brooke changed, putting on jean shorts and some sort of blouse with different colors on it. She was gorgeous, and her legs—her fucking legs—even though they were short, they still made my cock hard when I thought about them wrapped around my waist.

Jesus Christ, I was pussy whipped. I always joked with Avery about being controlled by the pussy, and lo and behold, I was. I would do anything Brooke wanted.

Brooke fidgeted with the skin around her fingernails and stared out the window as we drove to my parents’ house. She really had nothing to worry about, but I suspected meeting the parents
and
daughter was a big deal.

“Baby, they’re going to love you,” I said, taking her hand in mine.

“Uh huh.”

“Why do you think they won’t?”

“I don’t know,” she said, looking over to me. “What if I cuss in front of them? What if they think I’m not good enough for you? What if Cheyenne thinks I’m trying to be her mom?”

“First off.” I laughed. “Cuss all you want in front of my parents. They are just as bad. We don’t have filters except in front of Cheyenne. Second, I don’t really care if they think you’ll be good enough for me. I think my mother already loves you…”

“What? How?”

“When I talked to her about you, she got all excited.”

“But she doesn’t even know me.”

“I know you. We didn’t hold anything back on the cruise and plus, it’s kinda a big deal that I’m bringing a girl over. They never thought I would really date again.”

“You didn’t, either.”

“I know and that’s why this is huge. If I love you, they’ll love you, too. I promise.”

“What about Cheyenne?”

“She’s never really said anything to me about replacing Dana, but I see how she is around her friend Courtney’s mom—I know she wants a mother or at least someone to talk with about all the woman shit you women go through. And seriously, I need you. I thought I was having a heart attack when she told me she had kissed a boy.”

“You’re probably right. She’s probably not at that stage where she hates her parents so there shouldn’t be a reason to hate me.”

“Exactly.”

The more I thought about Cheyenne meeting Brooke, the more I thought that everything was going to be okay. I thought that if I had introduced Cheyenne to someone right after Dana died then she would probably be a different kid and hate me. No woman has been right until now—until Brooke.

“Ready?” I asked.

She sighed. “As ready as I will ever be.”

I took her hand as soon as I rounded the car. The closer we approached my parent’s front door, the more nervous I became. I wasn’t expecting to be nervous, but shit, my Peanut is meeting my
girlfriend
. I squeezed her hand a little when I placed my hand on the doorknob and she looked up at me. I saw terror in her eyes, the same look she had when we walked into the hospital for her biopsy.

“Baby, they’re going to love you,” I said once again because it was true. I leaned down and kissed her cheek, then opened the door.

“Jimmy, they’re here,” I heard my mom scream to my dad from the kitchen.

Brooke tensed a little and then relaxed. Maybe it was because of her broken home and she never had parents growing up? I wasn’t sure, but I would bet money on it.
Shit, maybe I should have fucked her before we left the house so she would be relaxed!

“Baby, this is my mom Jane.” I gestured to my mom who was wiping her hands on a dishtowel and coming from the kitchen.

“Brooke, it’s so nice to finally meet you,” my mom said, engulfing her in a hug.

Brooke looked a little taken back, but then I saw her relax and embrace my mom. “It’s nice to meet you too, Mrs. Crawford.”

“Please, call me Jane,” my mom waved Brooke’s formalities off. “Jimmy!”

“I’m coming! Jesus Christ, can’t a man take a shit in his own hou…?” My dad stopped in his tracks when he saw us. “Shit, I’m sorry, you must be Brooke?” he asked, sticking his hand out to shake hers.

“Yes, it’s nice to meet you as well—Jimmy.”

“Cheyenne is up in her room. Breakfast is almost ready,” my mom said, turning to the kitchen. “Brooke, I have orange juice or coffee if you want some.”

“What? You cooked breakfast for once?” I teased.

“You know I can cook, I just prefer you doing it,” she said, patting my cheek. “Plus, we need to leave soon for Chey’s game.”

“Let me go check on Peanut,” I said and kissed the top of Brooke’s head. She seemed to have relaxed, watching the interaction of my parents and how easygoing they were.

“Brooke, I’ll show you where the glasses are. Make yourself at home,” my mom said gesturing for Brooke to follow her.

“So, Brooke. East tells me that you live in Boston. Are you a Red Sox’s fan?” my dad asked, walking with Brooke to the kitchen.

I stopped midstride on the stairs, listening for her response, but I couldn’t hear. I knew she watched baseball, but I wasn’t sure if she was a diehard fan. I almost feared for her life with my dad, but then figured he would let it slide for now until he could convince her to switch to our Angels.

I went upstairs to Cheyenne’s bedroom. Since she spent most Friday and Saturday nights at my parents, they gave her her own room. She loved it—it meant that she could have two of everything. Sometimes it backfired when she wanted to wear a certain outfit and it was at my parents or wanted to wear some sort of lucky bracelet and she didn’t have it at home.

“Peanut,” I said, knocking on her door that had a sign that read
No Boys Allowed
. I stared at it, waiting for her to open the door or tell me to come in. She had just told me that she had kissed a boy a few days prior, and I prayed that the sign held true. I needed to talk to my dad—we needed to go to the shooting range and practice.

“I’m almost ready,” she said from inside the door.

“Okay, Brooke is here and we’re having breakfast. Hurry up.”

“I know, Dad!”

I was in for a ride when she became a teenager. I just knew it.

My mom made banana chocolate chip pancakes (Chey’s favorite), bacon and a side of strawberries. Of course, bacon was involved; Crawfords barely go a meal without bacon. We sat around the formal oak dining room table that we’d normally only used for Thanksgiving and Christmas. My parents had a breakfast table in their kitchen, but it only had four seats. Usually, it was just the four of us and if Avery came over, he or I would sit at the breakfast bar.

Mid bite of bacon, Cheyenne came down the stairs and plopped into the empty chair across from me.

“Well, hello to you, too,” I said. “Cheyenne, this is Brooke.” I reached my arm across Brooke’s shoulders and tugged her lightly towards me.

“Hi,” Cheyenne said, barely looking at Brooke as she grabbed a pancake.

“It’s nice to meet you Cheyenne. You’re dad has told me a lot about you.”
