Working On Love (The Griffin Brothers Book 6) (6 page)

“Pot meet kettle,
Luke You were just as bad when we met,” she tells him.

“You weren’t
thirteen.”

“Neither am I, Uncle
Scott. Did you not hear him say he left me because I was too young
then? I thought I’d never have him, either, and that’s why I
settled for a jerk like Nick. I’m a woman now, and I want my man.”

“You’ve got me. If
I have to fight each of the guys in this room, I’ll do it. I’ll
do anything to prove that I’m serious about us.”

“Guys? Who says
you’re not going to have to fight us, too?”

“I don’t hit women,
Candi. So if you attack me, I’m just going to have to stand there
and take it.”

“Good answer. I like
you, Miles.”

“Enough with the love
fest. I have something to say.”

“Uncle Ryan,” I
warn.

“Simmer down, baby
girl. I wanted to tell Miles that I think it’s beyond awesome that
he kicked Nick’s ass. You fucked him up pretty bad, man. I wish I’d
gotten my hands on him now that I know what he did. If he’s smart,
he’ll be in hiding.”

“Oh. Yeah. I forgot
you knew about that now.”

I’m mortified and put
my face down. Miles reaches down and lifts my head back up. He looks
me in the eye with a serious expression on his face.

“You have nothing to
be ashamed of. Nothing. That bastard made you do a couple of things
that were outside your comfort zone. I’m sure there’s not one
person in this room who hasn’t done something we’d like to hide.
Sex is nothing to be ashamed of.”

“He’s right, Alex.
We all know Yasmin got tied up with game controllers by Scott, and
you don’t want to know what Candi and I do.” Candi smacks Owen
upside the head, hard, as we all laugh. “I’m just trying to make
her feel better.”

“Yeah, well, stop
using me and my wife as your example. It’s been years, man. You
need new material. As for you and that asswipe, Miles is right.
There’s nothing for you to be ashamed of.”

“I think we all agree
on that.” Everyone nods at my Uncle Ryan. “Now I hate to break
this all up, but we have a plane to catch.”

Oh yeah. I was so happy
to be with Miles that I forgot about my birthday weekend. I want to
spend it with him, too. Is it too soon to ask him? Oh, who the hell
cares?

“Do you want to go to
Disneyland with us for my birthday, Miles?”

“Really?”

“No. Not really.
There’s no room,” Ryan says.

“There are more than
twelve seats on our jet.”

“We don’t have an
extra room for him at the hotel.”

“We don’t need an
extra room. He can stay with me.”

“Yeah, no.”

I start to open my
mouth to respond, but Miles beats me to it. “I’d love to spend
the weekend with you, Xandy. Especially at Disneyland. I’ve never
been there, but I’m guessing they have “It’s a Small World”
just like at Disney World. Who else will go on it with you ten times,
if I don’t come? Plus, I have birthday presents for you.” He
turns to everyone else. “I have my own jet, and I can pay for my
own ticket and hotel room. So if you’d feel more comfortable, I can
just meet you all at the parks each day.”

“No. I’m nineteen
years old, and I want to be with my boyfriend. If that upsets any of
you, then tough. You all seem to forget who helped every single one
of you with your relationships. Me. Obviously, I’m at least as
mature as you.”

“You’re right. I’m
sorry, Miles. It’s hard for me not to think of her as a little
girl. I can tell you love her, and you’re welcome with us on the
jet
and
her room.
Just please limit the PDA a little. It’s going to freak us all out,
but we’ll deal. Can you meet us at McCarran in like an hour?”

“I can just drive
with you from here, if you have the space.”

“Don’t you need
clothes?”

“I have a bag in my
car with a couple pairs of jeans and t-shirts.”

“Oh yeah. Of course.”
It’s out of my mouth before I even realize that I said it.

“Not for that. I
never once stayed the night with a woman. I just sometimes have to
leave on a trip with no notice. I also have a garment bag with suits
in my trunk.”

I lean over and whisper
in his ear. “You’re okay with staying with me? I should’ve
asked.”

“There’s no place
I’d rather be. I promise you that.”

Miles

The flight to John
Wayne airport in Orange County was short. Too short. I’m super
nervous about sharing a room with Alex. I want to be respectful of
her, but at the same time, I want to make her scream my name. All
night. I don’t know what to do. I guess I’ll just follow her
lead.

We pull up to the Grand
California hotel at Disneyland, and it’s really cool. I’m just a
little confused, and Alex can see it. “It’s different, right? The
first time I came here and we drove right up to the park, I was
freaked out, too.”

“Yeah. It’s weird,
but I guess pretty cool if you live here.”

Everyone gets checked
in and then we head to the elevators. We’ll have to take two since
there’s so many of us. While we wait, Zane and Quinn’s son,
Landon, comes up to Alex and I.

“Is she your
girlfriend now, Uncle Miles?”

“Yep. I’m a lucky
guy, huh?”

“I guess.” His face
falls and I immediately drop down in front of him.

“What’s wrong,
buddy?”

“You probably won’t
have time for my Little League team anymore. And you won’t want to
go on any rides with me this weekend.”

“Of course I’ll
have time for your team. I promised you that I’d be the coach, and
I try to keep my promises. Is it okay if Alex comes to the games,
though?”

“You want to come,
Alex?”

“I’d love to,
Landon. And as for this weekend, I’m afraid of heights, so I won’t
go on Splash Mountain or the big rollercoaster at California
Adventure. Miles is all yours for those. You can go on the other
rides with us, too.”

“As long as it’s
not that Small World place.”

“That’s my girl’s
favorite. I’ll be on there for hours with her.”

“Doesn’t it make
you crazy? All those weird dolls singing is creepy!”

“Nah. I get to hold
her hand in the dark and maybe even steal a kiss. Plus, she goes on
Space Mountain with me. She’s okay with that one since its dark and
she can’t see.”

“Come on Land,”
Quinn calls as their elevator arrives.

“He’s a good kid.”

“That he is.”

“You’re going to
coach his team? I almost forgot that my boyfriend was a big baseball
star in high school.”

“College too, baby.
Don’t forget college. And yes, I’m going to coach. I’m glad
you’ll be at the games. I want to be with you as much as possible.”

“Umm, hello. Do you
really think I’m going to let you go there alone in your jeans and
a baseball shirt? Those women would be all over you.”

“You’re the only
one I want all over me.”

“That can be
arranged.”

“We don’t have to.
I mean, you have a suite. I can sleep on the pull-out couch.”

Our elevator arrives
before she can respond. It’s a quiet ride up to the room since her
uncles are all surrounding us. They sent their wives up in the other
elevator. I guess this is their last shot at intimidation. It’s not
working. I’m so hard I’m afraid my cock’s going to break if it
doesn’t get some relief soon.

We get off the elevator
on our floor, and Alex opens our door with the key card. I put my bag
on the couch and take hers into the bedroom. She follows me in. When
I turn to leave the room, I see she’s crying.

“What’s wrong?”

“You don’t want
me.”

“What? Are you
insane?” I pull her to me so she can feel how hard I am. “Do you
feel that? That’s all you.”

“Why do you want to
sleep on the couch, then?”

“I don’t
want
to sleep on the couch. But I also don’t want to pressure you.”

“Pressure me? I’m
the one who invited you on this trip and said I wanted you in my room
with me.”

“I wasn’t sure if
that was for me, or to piss off your uncles some more.”

She surprises me by
pulling back a little and grabbing my hand. She slides it under her
dress until my fingers meet the lace of her panties. Her very wet
panties. Fuck.

“Does that give you
your answer?”

“Yes,” I tell her
as I twist my fingers, earning me a beautiful moan.

She pulls me to her,
kissing me hard. I let her have the lead again. I’ll take control
once I think she’s ready for it. She pushes my jacket off my
shoulders and onto the floor. I already took my tie off, so she
starts pulling my shirt out of my pants. Her mouth moves from mine to
lick my neck. Okay, so my control may not last as long as she needs.
I’m really trying, though.

I start pulling the
pins out her hair as she gets her hands under my shirt and rubs my
abs. “Oh my God. They feel as good as they look.”

“When did you look at
my abs, Xandy?”

“You played
basketball in the gym a week ago. Your team was ‘skins,’
remember?”

“You were watching
me?”

“Yeah.”

“Only me? Or was
there some other hot young guy you wanted?”

“You. Just you. Now
shut up and kiss me.”

I do as she asks,
moving my hands to her zipper now that I have her hair free. I unzip
her as she tears the buttons from my shirt. Hot damn. I almost came
in my pants from that.

“Feeling a little out
of control?” I ask her with a chuckle.

“I’m a lot out of
control. I-I’ve never felt this way. I
need
you, Miles. Please.”

“You’ve got me. I’m
all yours. Tell me what you want.”

“Anything.
Everything.”

“No. We both know
that’s not true.”

“It is. I honestly
don’t care how we do it. You can tie me up, spank me, anything. I
just want it.”

That’s so not going
to happen. She may think she wants those things, but one of us has to
keep our head in the game. I can’t have her regretting anything
about what we’re going to do. I finish unzipping her dress as I
kiss her neck. I push down the straps and let it fall to the ground.

“Beautiful. You’re
so fucking beautiful,” I tell her as I step back to look at her.

She’s in a simple
black strapless bra and those lace panties I was touching a few
minutes ago. Her skin is so creamy, and pale, with a few freckles
here and there. I bend over to lick one on her ribs. She told me to
do what I want, so I’m going to. I undo the clasp on her bra, and
then rip her panties off. They were hiding what I want.

I lift her up and place
her on the edge of the bed, spreading her thighs wide. I kneel down
and start kissing from her knee to her thigh and then repeat the
action on her other leg. I’m leaning over to place one leg over my
shoulder when she stops me.

“My shoes.”

“Are staying on.”

That’s the last thing
I say before my mouth is on her. She bows up off the bed as I lick
her clit. I slide my hands up her stomach to play with her tits. They
fit perfectly in my hands, and I realize I like that. A lot. They
were made for me and my hands. She’s moaning and calling out my
name, but she’s not quite there yet.

I know what she needs
so I grab her left hand and place it under mine, making her pinch her
nipple. Once I’m sure she’ll keep it up, I put my right hand
between her legs and plunge two fingers into her. That’s it.
Exactly what I knew she needed.

“Miles. Oh my God.
Miles,” she screams as she thrashes above me, digging her nails
into my shoulders and contracting against my fingers and mouth. She
falls back onto the bed, panting hard. I undress myself as I start to
climb back on the bed, but remember to grab a condom first. How did I
almost forget that?

I throw the condom next
to her on the bed as I kiss my way up her ribs. Both tits get some
attention from my mouth and tongue, before I continue my travels to
her shoulders and neck. When I reach her mouth, I hover over her as
she opens her eyes.

“Happy Birthday,
Xandy.” I’d looked at the clock and its 12:01.

“Best birthday ever.”

“It’s not over yet.
Unless you want it to be.” I’ll stop if that’s what she wants.
It’ll be hard, but I’ll do it.

“I only had one
orgasm. I need my other eighteen.”

“Eighteen?”

“Well, you have until
midnight, but if you don’t think you can…”

“Oh, I can. I
definitely can. You’re getting one to grow on, too.”

Alex

The damn alarm is going
off and I know we need to get up. But we just fell asleep two hours
ago. Well, more like passed out two hours ago. Miles has me
two-thirds of the way to my birthday goal. I’ve been kissed,
licked, fingered, bitten, and fucked to within an inch of my life,
and I’ve loved every minute of it.

“We have to get up,
don’t we?”

“Yes. We do. My
uncles will come looking for us if we don’t make it to breakfast in
time.”

“Do we have time to
shower together?”

“If we just shower.”
God, I don’t want to just shower. I’m sore, but I want him so
bad.

“You should go first,
then.”

“Can’t just shower
with me, huh Corrigan?”

“Nope. Not even gonna
lie. If I get in that shower with you, I’m going to do more than
wash you up.”

“Ooh. Did you want to
wash me down?”

“You have five
seconds to get in that shower or down is exactly where I’m going to
be.”

I jump out of bed. I
don’t need my uncles walking in on us. I shower as quickly as
possible and throw on jean shorts and a turquoise t-shirt. I’m
pulling my hair into a pony tail when I realize something. My bra and
panties are, well, boring. I didn’t expect to have Miles here with
me. So I brought plain cotton bras and panties. Great. I’ve got the
king of all sex gods in my bed, and I’m in plain cotton.
