Chapter 33

Savanna

Walking into Colt’s parent’s house was surreal. The house was huge on the outside and even bigger on the inside. Some old lady gave Ty a hug and me a quick smile as she led us into the kitchen. “They are all still at the hospital. Conner headed out about an hour ago to go back. It’s such a shame about your uncle. I hope he pulls through. He’s a good man. He’s always taken such good care of my family.”

Ty thanked the lady he called Lucy. When we got back into the car, he explained that she had worked for them for many years. Her husband had died in some war and she was left alone to raise her daughter. Ty said they had lived here on the ranch ever since he was a kid himself.

Ty navigated down an old dirt road. There were a few parts where I wondered if he was taking me back into the woods to take advantage of me. After driving for at least ten minutes, we came to a clearing. There was a large lake on one side and a pasture on the other. The road ended in front of a house. Colt said he lived in a cabin, but this was much more. I wouldn’t have ever called the two-story home a cabin. There was a wraparound porch on the lower level and a deck with two chairs on the second level. It was made from logs, but this was no cabin. To the side was a two-car garage. One of the doors were open and I could see a new Mustang parked inside. We were in the right place.

“Van? You alright? You look like you saw a ghost,” Ty was saying as he waved his hand in front of my face.

“It’s not little.”

“Colt’s dad insisted on it. Come on, let’s go inside. I have to piss,” he replied.

I was instantly nervous. I had driven all the way here and never even considered what I would say to Colt. It had been an impulsive decision completely. I watched Ty hop out of the car and head toward the house. At the last minute, he turned and walked toward the woods.

“Where are you going?” I should have never asked. He just started peeing against some bushes. I gave him a dirty look as he turned and winked at me. “Stupid!”

I took a few deep breaths and started walking toward the steps. After the first two, my heart was starting to beat out of my chest. I got to the porch and noticed the porch swing on one of the ends. It looked out at the pasture and lake. It was beautiful. I could see myself sitting there with Colt, having morning coffee while laying my head against his shoulder.

My fists started knocking immediately following my vision. After three knocks, I heard the door creaking open. I heard Ty whistling as he made his way to the porch. I turned to smile and then focused on the door opening. All I wanted to do was jump into Colt’s arms. Everything would fall into place once I had my arms around him.

Except, Colt wasn’t who opened the door.

A blonde who appeared to be at least eight months pregnant opened the door. Her hair was wet and she had a towel around her neck. I gasped, unable to say a single word.

“Can I help you?” she asked.

I felt Ty wrapping his hands onto my waist. “Where is Colt?” he asked over my shoulder.

“Probably still in the shower,” she said with a smile.

I could feel my body shaking. I actually felt like I was going to pass out. “Who…who are you?”

“Why? Who are you?” she asked defensively.

“I’m Ty,” he announced, trying to hop in between us. I knew he was trying to protect me from whatever I was about to do or say.

I watched her eyes get big, as if she knew who he was, and that something bad was about to happen.“Oh his cousin? This must be Van. I have heard so much about you,” she claimed.

“Who are you?” I said again, before I even realized the words came out of my mouth.

She started rubbing her stomach. Then she said what I feared. “My name is Miranda. I am Colt’s...”

Colt, who was coming down the stairs in only a towel, interrupted her. Beads of water covered his wet body. “Savanna? What are you doin’ here?” he said as he walked toward the front door.

I only knew of two exes’. I couldn’t remember if he mentioned their names, but obviously she was back for one reason. She was pregnant with his baby and he never told me about it.

Miranda backed away as he headed in my direction. Tears filled my eyes and I turned myself into Ty’s welcoming arms. “Please get me out of here,” I said against his chest.

“Wait! What the hell is going on?” Colt said as he came walking out of the house. I don’t know how Ty got off the porch so fast, but he got me almost to the car before Colt got to me.

His hand grabbed my arm. “You drove all the way here for me?” he asked.

“I guess I should have warned you first. Maybe you could have got your company to stay somewhere else while you played the seduction card on me some more. You think because you grew up with money you can go around fucking girls in different places, telling them they are the only one for you? You are nothing but a liar!” I said as I tried my best to open my car door.

Colt’s still wet leg caught the door.  I couldn’t help but notice Ty laughing and shot him a dirty look. This was obviously his dream outcome. Me discovering Colt as a cheater…I was such a fool.

“Savanna, dammit, will you calm down?” He tried to grab my arm, but I was crying so bad that I pulled away from him and started walking away from my car. I had no place to run. I just couldn’t handle the pain I was feeling. “Tell me what’s goin’ on? Is it because I didn’t tell you about the money? It isn’t important to me. I don’t care about any of it. You’re all that matters to me.”

“How can you say that with that pregnant woman standing at your door? Oh my God, what kind of person are you? How can you not care about her? Look at her!”

He shook his head again and scrunched his eyebrows as if he had no clue what I was talking about. “Of course I care about her, but she has nothin’ to do with us. Savanna, please stop walkin’ away. I am in a damn towel here.”

He caught my waist and pulled me around. “Leave me alone. There is nothing left to say. I am going home. Forget you ever knew me. I will not be some home wrecker or be with a cheater. You should know that already.”

He wouldn’t let me go. “What has gotten into you? I am neither of those things and you should know that!”

His green eyes stared holes in me. “I just caught you. Please just stop with the lies. I can’t take anymore.” I tried to calm down but finally broke down and began to sob. “Please get off of me.”

“No! Not until you stop fightin’ me. You obviously drove all this way for me. What the fuck, Savanna?”

Finally, I heard Ty walking behind us. “I think I can clear this up, cuz.”

We both turned to face him. Colt never let go of my arms.

“She thinks Miranda is a girlfriend. She thinks that’s your kid,” Ty said smiling. He could hardly contain the smirk on his face. I felt so betrayed, like he had set me up.

Colt relaxed his hold on me and shook his head. Then he even started laughing. “She’s my cousin, Savanna. My mother’s sister Karen’s daughter. She was here watchin’ the place while I was gone. She lives in a house on the ranch too.”

I put my hands over my face. “But I thought…”

His arms wrapped tightly around me. “Darlin’, I would never do that to you.” With his hands, he grabbed both sides of my face. “You are the only woman that I want.” He brought his lips to my forehead.

My hands reached around his still wet waist. “I am so sorry. I just saw her and then I saw you. You were both wet from a shower. I just assumed you were together and everything about us was a lie.”

“Nothing about us is a lie. I swear it.” He looked directly at me when he said it.

“Get a room!” we heard Ty saying behind us.

Colt grabbed my hand. He looked over to Ty and he pulled us past him. “You could have told her, you asshole!”

“It was more fun watching her get all pissed at you. I just wanted her to feel the same way about you for a few seconds. Miranda went along with it too,” Ty said, while laughing behind us.

I shot him a dirty look as we hit the porch steps.

Miranda greeted us at the door. “Sorry for the confusion. I was tryin’ to explain before everything got all crazy.”

“Nice to meet you. Sorry I overreacted,” I replied.

“I can see how this would look. I assure you that the father of this child is a piece of shit! He’s nothing like my cousin Colt.”

I didn’t know if she meant it to be a joke, so I just smiled and followed behind Colt. Ty and Miranda headed into the kitchen, while Colt pulled me up the stairs. “Aren’t you going to show me around the house?” I asked.

We got into a large bedroom and he shut the door behind us. My body immediately pressed against the door as Colt’s lips met mine. Our tongues mingled and my hands found his chest. Only moments ago, I thought it had all been a lie, but now I was back in his arms where I wanted to be. His clean skin smelled so good, maybe better than I remembered.

“I can’t believe you are here,” he said as his lips parted from mine. He stared into my eyes. “I tried to call you and then I got the news about my father. I couldn’t stop thinkin’ about you.”

“I didn’t know if you would come back for me. I said things I didn’t mean. I was wrong, Colt. I had to come. I needed you to know I would do anything to be with you,” I admitted.

My hands reached inside the towel and I let it drop to his feet. I leaned against the door and bit down on my lip. I heard a groan coming from somewhere deep inside of Colt’s chest. His hands grabbed the bottom of my shirt and ripped it off my head, while I started unbuttoning my shorts.

“God, when you started walkin’ away I didn’t know what to think. I can’t imagine not being able to touch you,” Colt said as his tongue slid across my ear.

“I should have trusted you. I let what Ty did get to me. I know you aren’t him.”

His lips found mine again. I felt his tongue brushing against my bottom lip. His erection pressed against my stomach. He was doing it on purpose, so I could feel how much he wanted me. He picked me up and I wrapped my legs around his waist. The heat between my legs set me in a frenzy. Colt got to the bed and tossed me down on my back. I didn’t have time to sit up. His body came down over top of mine.

He leaned up, balancing himself on one arm to look at my body. With one snap, my front-clasp bra opened up. His large hands slid down between my breasts. I licked my lips as I watched him looking at me. When his eyes reached my panties, he licked his own lips, which in turn made me even hotter. His hands slid down and reached for the fabric of my panties. He ran his hand underneath just at the base from hip to hip. I arched my body because I wanted to take them off, but he kept teasing me. Instead of taking them off, he licked his lips and pulled his hand out from under them. His palm cupped me and I knew my panties were wet with the anticipation of being with him. I couldn’t resist his touch. He was the sexiest thing ever.

“I want you so bad,” I whispered.

“I am in my house with the woman I love. I am planning on takin’ my time,” he admitted.

He leaned down and kissed the inside of my thigh. It sent chills all over my body. I saw him smiling as he kissed my belly button and ran his tongue in a circle around it. He left a trail of wet skin as he leaned down and kissed my other thigh. His teeth grabbed the elastic of my panties and he pulled them back, dragging his nose against the base of my tender spot.

“Oh my God, Colt!” I moaned loudly.

“Mmm, you like that don’t you?” he teased. He slowly pulled down my panties, licking his lips the entire time.

His finger slid inside of me as he leaned up and took one of my nipples into his mouth. I watched his lips pull away and his tongue came out to dance around my nipple. He took it back into his mouth and sucked hard. “Don’t’ stop!” I begged.

He removed his lips from my breast and blew cold air on it, making it even harder than it was. His finger moved faster inside of me while his thumb played with my swollen sex. He teased my lips with just his tongue, while his thumb pressed harder. I felt waves of pleasure come crashing through my body. As Colt watched me starting to orgasm, he finally let me kiss him, never letting my tongue get away from his.  When I finally collapsed under his strong hands, he climbed on top of me.

“Do you want me, Savanna?” he asked.

I bit my lip. “Yes.”

“Tell me. Say it,” he ordered.

I tried to grab his shaft, but he wouldn’t let me. His teasing was making me want him more than I ever had, which I didn’t even think was possible. “I want you. Please make love to me, Colt. I want you inside of me. Please…”

With one single thrust, I felt him fill me with his hard shaft. As wet and ready as I was, it was still a tight fit. Colt moaned and got into an immediate groove. I grabbed his ass cheeks and dug my nails into them, pulling him into me harder. He grabbed my breasts with both hands and kissed them together. I loved watching him lick my nipples. I could feel friction building up for another wave of pleasure, so I flipped myself on top of him. Colt grabbed my waist as I started rocking back and forth. I ran my hands all around my breasts without touching my own nipples. I knew he wanted to see it. His moans became frequent, and I continued to tease him like he had me. I took two fingers into my mouth and got them wet then slowly ran them over one nipple, while watching his reaction.
