Never Been Loved (43 page)

She starts grinding against me, getting excited if her gasps and sounds are anything to go by. I’m holding her hips hard enough to hurt. She’s not so shy anymore, my girl, but exploring me with her lips and tongue, even sucking on one of my pierced nipples that has me growling.

“Mmmm,” she moans, moving lower, scraping her teeth along my muscles, and bone. Fuck, why did I ever start this? I’m not going to last.

Need. Pussy. Now.

“Sera. I need to be inside you.”

I’m about to come out of my skin. I catch my fingers biting into her hips and stop that shit right away. Christ, I need to be inside her. I want her so fucking bad. So. Fucking. Bad.

“Go slow, okay?”

“I promise. I promise.” I coax her to get my shirt off, and fuck yes, we’re skin to skin all the fuck over.

“Hunter
mou
...” she groans.

I’m crazed. I nip her skin, lick everywhere, suck her nipples until she’s crying out. My fingers dip inside her, I let out a sound cats make. I push inside her, her heat, her slick, amazing pussy that’s about to take me.

Slow, go slow.

“Please, Hunter.”

I’m too out of control, and Sera’s not helping.

“I shouldn’t’ve let you touch me. Shit.”

Fuck, she’s rubbing herself on me, and I have to take her or I’m going to fucking explode. I spread her thighs with my knees, watching her face to see if this is okay.

I get the condom on with a hiss, watching her arch her back and stroke her own skin. Fuck, she’s dynamite.

“Please, please,
please...
”

“I’m gonna go slow.”

Need. Pussy. Now.

Sera bites her lip and waits for me to enter her. When I start stretching her, she hisses. I check the urge to move, and hold myself very still.

Fuck, is she watching me sink into her? Yeah, my girl’s watching where we’re joined, and biting her lip. She’s got either hand on my ribs, and suddenly, I’m all in.

“Are...” I pant, nearly lose my shit when her knees come up to my ribs. Fuck, I feel every movement in my dick, every little, tiny movement. “You...okay?” I groan, licking up the side of her neck.

She squeezes me, so I bite down on her neck. Who’d’ve known that make her hotter?

“I want more. Please, I need more.”

I get my forearms on either side of her head, and pull out, nice and slow, watching her face react to every single sensation. Fuck, this is good.

“Baby, you’re so fucking good...” I groan into her ear, hearing her whimper.

Need to come
.

“Baby, please, you need to come for me.”

My dick’s being squeezed at every angle, from every side. The heat’s incredible, the glide, even better. It’s Sera, all Sera.

She lifts her hips higher, getting me deeper, harder.

“Hunter, Hunter, Hunter,” she moans, until she locks down on me, and before she comes down I’m a goner too, coming so hard I black out for a few seconds. I get her mouth, kiss her hard and deep as I pump in three more times, letting her wring me out with aftershocks.

I gentle my mouth on her, ’cause maybe I was too rough the first time. Maybe she needed me to be a whole lot sweeter.

Shouldn’t have let her touch you, you dick.

I take my time with her mouth, the way she feels, the way I’m inside her, finally, and it’s fucking awesome. We kiss slow, no rush this time, until she’s pulls me closer to her and gives me everything.

I do my best to return the favour.

The day Sera saved my ass was the day that changed my life. With my girl in my arms, with me inside her, I’m not just a diabetic. I’m her man, too.

“Still think I’m amazing, baby? Even if ten years, twenty, thirty years down the road they could cut off my leg from not controlling my sugars and the nerves have died?”

Sera’s on top of me, so it’s a bit easier to tell her about our future with me in the mix.

“Well, we could get you a badass prosthetic leg, those cool aluminum ones and we can pretend you’re like Robocop or something. No, no, you’d be like the Terminator! And that’s fraking hot.”

I laugh, hard. “How can you make me laugh when I don’t even feel like it?”

“I’m awesome like that. They should even write a comic book about me, I’m so awesome.” She leans down and kisses my back. “I think it’s beautiful, but it hurts to look at. And I don’t care if they cut off your leg, or whatever. I… I love you, Hunter, not your body parts.”

I can’t move. “Do you mean it?”

You can rest now. Sera’s got your back, man. And you got hers. You won’t have to go it alone anymore.

“Frak yeah, I mean it. I love you, Hunter MacLaine.” When she licks my ear and orders, “Now get up and give me what I want.” I move and do exactly what my girl wants me to do.

The next morning, Sera still won’t walk around naked in my place, so I let her keep my shirt. I’m trying to decide which one’s sexier and having a hard time of it. I feed her and before we make our way to my mom’s so we can pick up my boy.

“Baby, you have to stop looking at me like that.”

“You gonna do something about it?” she challenges, making my dick throb even if I had her three times last night.

“No. You’re probably sore. I don’t want to be a fucking Neanderthal.”

She kisses my cheek. “I took some Tylenol. I’m good.”

“No, you’re sore and that’s my fault. I couldn’t control myself and I behaved like a fucking fifteen-year-old kid. I’m sorry, baby.” I kiss her palm and watch her cheeks get red.

“Uh… I asked for it. I mean, I guess you could’ve stopped if you wanted to, or gone and taken a shower or something...”

“Sera, you have no idea about your appeal and that does things to me. The fact is, I should’ve known better. I’m the one who knows how this shit goes. When we come back, I’m going to make you sit in the tub for a hot soak. Like I could’ve stopped once I had you in my bed, naked for me, and I got the chance at watching you come. Especially with your hot little tongue licking me.”

“Shut up, just shut up.” She covers my mouth with her hands.

When she lets go, I say, “I get that you’re embarrassed. But there’s nothing here that you need to be afraid of, yeah? It’s just me.”

“Yeah, it’s
you.
Hunter SexGod. Look, when you say things like that, I feel like I want a black hole to open up in your kitchen and allow myself to get sucked into it.

I smile. “I’m not gonna stop saying I like watching you come, or the sounds you make. Everything you do is sexy to me. Everything.”

“Even this face? This face is sexy?” I don’t know what she’s trying to do, but all she does is look crazy surprised.

I lean in close, smiling even fucking wider. “I love you. That includes the funny faces. I love every part of you. Whatever you don’t think you like about yourself – I love them because it’s you. And you make my life better.”

“Those are the sweetest words anyone has ever said to me. Ever. In my whole life. In this whole side of time and space. In the galaxy-”

Fuck, I love this. I love all of it. I kiss her quiet. When I’ve gotten my fill, and we’re both breathing hard, I tell her to get ready so we can pick up the kid.

She fidgets in her seat, leaning on the table. “I want you to be nicer to your son. Can you do that for me?”

“I’m going to do my best.” I’m going to better than that.

“That’s all anybody can ask for.”

I motion her closer with a finger and kiss her sweet. “I love you, Sera Delos.”

“Right back at ya. Now, we’re gonna pick up the little guy or what?”

Thirty minutes later, we’re in front of my old house. I barely get the car in park when Sera’s bolted out the car, and Matty’s flying down the stairs to collide with her legs.

“Sera! Sera, Sera! I missed you!” The kid hugs her hard. I don’t think he ever wants to let go. "Why did you go away? Did I do something wrong?”

I’ve rounded the car and watch Sera crouch down to get Matty eye-to-eye.
“Of course not! Did somebody tell you that?

Your dad and I had a fight. It had nothing to do with you, little buddy. I still love you, and I always will.”

I lean down so I’m in the huddle, too.

“Matty-kid, how was your visit?”

“Good, Daddy. Eddie says hi.”

I look up the stone steps and see Eddie waving like he’s trying to down a plane.

Aly walks through the door and comes down the stairs towards us.
Fuck that.
But Sera’s already growling, standing up and holding onto Matty. I follow her lead and walk up into the house.

I watch Sera call out my mom, and ignore Aly since Sera looks like she’s going to take care all of this for me. Whoever said nerds were weak has never met my girl.

When Mom actually says something along the lines of Sera being unwelcome in this damn house, and something about being a maid, or what the fuck ever, I try to get a word in until my girl effectively tells me to shut up.

I shut up.

Watching Sera go badass on me is fucking hot.

“I’m going to pretend that you didn’t say that,” she says while I lean in and kiss her at the temple.

“I’m only going to say this once, and you’re going to listen. Hunter and I, we’re together. Deal with it. You try and foist Red on him again, you and I will have more than words. You understand? You’ve made a giant mistake cutting Hunter out of your will. For what? Wanting a life of love for him and his kid? What is wrong with you? Can’t you see? You surround yourself with beautiful, expensive things but are you happy?

“And trying to buy off Aly’s affection for your grandson by an arranged marriage? What fraking century are you living in? Hunter is mine now, and nothing you do or say is going to change that. Matty’s mine, too. And if you ever want to see your grandson again, you better change your attitude, or you’re going to be one lonely bitch for the rest of your miserable life.”

Need. Pussy. Now.

“Bad word! Sera, said a bad word!” Matty’s dancing at our feet.

Mom looks at me, for once, like I exist. “Are you going to let
her
talk to your mother that way?”

“Fuck that. I know Matty, just gimme a second.” I tell the kid when his mouth pops open so I can give him a quarter. “You cut me out of your will. I’m alone, just like I’ve been since I was diagnosed. And that’s fine, Mom. You made your choice, and now I’m making mine. You’ll never see us again.”

I get an arm around Sera’s shoulders and move her so we can leave. That is, until Aly’s got her nails in my arm, and Sera doesn’t like that. That’s hot, too.

“Let go of him.
Now
.”

“Bitch, what makes you think a man like that would want you when he can have
me?
” Aly’s eyes go to slits, and I know she doesn’t hold a chance in hell of taking down my girl.

Sera lets her fist fly and socks Aly in the nose. I watch dumb to the blood dripping out of her nose.

“Come near my family again, and I’ll make sure a broken nose is the least of your worries. You get me?”

“
You fucking whore! I’m going to fucking kill you!”
Aly screams, but Sera’s got my boy’s hand in hers and we’re walking to my car. She gets the kid in the car and closes the door behind him.

I get Sera’s ass in my hips and lean in to her ear, wrapping around her so her back is pressed to my front.

“That was fucking awesome. A little more practice and you’ll have a meaner right hook than Rocky Balboa.”

“I’m more badass than Rocky Balboa any day of the week.”

“Yeah, baby. You are.”

Chapter 32

I don’t know if she can tell I’m nervous. Maybe it’s the way I’ve asked her to see the ring four times, then pick four more that catch my eye.

I should be doing this with Katie, I guess, since she knows Sera better than I do. But I’ll do that for my final decision.

I want to give Sera a solid diamond. One she can be proud of. I also have limited funds. I mean, I’ve been saving, but it seems like it’s never enough.

Now though, since Sera’s moved in, we have a joint account and I don’t feel like my finances are strangling me anymore. She saved me from that, too.

I don’t know exactly what I’m looking for.

I want something original, but all these rings look exactly the same, just bigger and bigger diamonds. For some reason, I don’t think Sera’s gonna dig that all that much.

I move down the panels of glass and peer into them. Maybe I won’t get a diamond? A sapphire? Ruby? Emerald? Why is this shit so hard?

Then I think about her and me, how she’s always saving my ass, and giving me her, even when she was terrified to. Then I think about those white, sparkly diamonds that doesn’t seem to fit my girl at all.

What kind of jewelry does she like to wear? I don’t remember much, but I saw a Batman ring a while ago, and I can’t afford to have a diamond cut into that shape. Shit.
