I giggled while he nipped at each cheek, then my laughed came to a halt, my breath leaving me when his hand slipped between my legs, his fingers pressing eagerly to open me.
“Lean forward,” he commanded. “Put your hands on the glass.”I gulped, then obeyed, the coolness of the glass door drastic from the heat of the steamy water.His fingers ran from rubbing the sensitive nub, along the rim of my entrance and further back. My toes curled from his slow movements, my hips tilting backward in anticipation. “You want it, don’t you,” he breathed, trailing his finger over my anus. I shivered from the slight touch, then gasped when he squeezed each cheek, spreading me open. I was completely exposed to him, and in a normal state of mind, I’d be mortified from the position, but my heart was racing with anticipation, a need rushing through me like a crazed animal.Warmth graced my skin, and a smooth, invitingHer eyes widened, then a slow smile crept along her cheeks. “Right.”Happiness radiated from her the moment she thought of the babies. I finally understood what phrase ‘glowing’ meant.“You have to take care of yourself, even more so now.”She nodded, and I leaned in and kissed her sweetly. “You get dressed, and I’ll see what I have in my fridge. Are you okay with scrambled eggs and toast? I don’t think I have anything else. I had planned on eating at my mom’s over the holiday. I suppose we can order Chinese takeout later tonight.”Kelsey frowned and grabbed my wrist to stop me from leaving. “We can go to your moms, it’s Christmas after all.”I pulled her to my chest, doing my best to not stare at the blood spot bleeding through the hand towel. “My mother understands this Christmas might be different. She sent me a message last night after let telling me she&rsquo
“It’s not even seven, you dipshit.”I smirked at my best friend’s response. “Merry Christmas to you, too.”I heard rustling in the background. Most likely Cody was still in bed, and to my surprise, I heard a familiar voice in the background. “If that’s another woman…”“Of course not, babe. I’m not that big of a manwhore. It’s Mack.”Mindy, Kelsey’s best friend, had a terrible habit of sleeping with my best friend, who was not going to settle down anytime soon. I kept predicting his extracurriculars with her would blow up in his face.“What?! Is Kelsey with him?! Give me the phone!” Mindy said in the background.“He called me, not you,” Cody grumbled.“I don’t fucking care, ask him! Kelsey didn’t call me back!” She bickered.I rolled my eyes and sat on the bed. Here we go…“She probab
Mack met me in the hallway, holding a glass of water and two pills. “Take this first.” I did as he asked, then we both went into his room to change.“I’ll have to go through my clothes and make space for your things,” Mack said easily, stripping from his sweats and throwing on a dark pair of jeans.I’d almost forgotten Mack had asked me to move in with him. I was more than willing at the time, but the thought made me uneasy. Would living together work out for us? Our relationship had been so hush-hush and fast paced, that the small quirks we both might have could cause for living together to become unsuccessful.“I won’t make you put your things in the spare bedroom,” he teased, pulling me out of my thoughts.“We’ll figure it out,” I smiled, snatching my jeans from the floor and wiggling into them. I didn’t have any underwear, so going commando would have to do. “How fancy a
I flushed, recalling the evening. Mack had brought me to his fantasy night, and I was terrified of what I would be walking into. You can imagine my surprise when I the condo was filled with dudes drinking beer and holding magazines with players’ names and pads of paper. I’d never heard of fantasy baseball until that night. I’d seen a completely different side to Mack Craft. He was sweet and gentle, not the typical crass and harsh Mack Craft I’d dealt with at the office every day.“I’d like to come with you,” he murmured. “To Kansas, if you’ll have me.”I gulped before responding to him. “You’d be missing Portia and Gary’s party.”He side-eyed me. “You know I don’t care about parties. Especially if you’re not going to be there.”“What about car rides? It’s a twelve-hour drive.”He crinkled his eyebrows. “Or a three-hour flight.&r
Mack sat on the stool next me, anxiously watching Sharon go to work. “What was that you put in her head?”“Just a little numbing. It’ll be out of her system quickly.”Mack nodded, then set his hand on my lower back while Sharon pulled out her stitching equipment. He seemed more nervous than I was.Sharon caught Mack’s attentiveness out of the corner of her eye. “Still not a fan of needles, are you Mack?”“No, not at all.”Cody rounded the kitchen island and peeked over his mom’s shoulder. “You should ask Mack how he got that scar on his hip.”“That’s not necessary,” Mack grumbled.Sharon grinned while she slid the needle through my skin. “It was an easy patch job.”Cody leaned over the counter, his typical wicked grin in place. “He tried to catch a fly ball during a family softball game, and completely biffed it, landed on a
MackIt was almost 10am by the time we got back to my condo.Our condo.I’d have to get used to referring to us as one, and Kelsey would have to figure out the next steps to get her things here and how to break the lease on her apartment. I’d be happy to help her financially if that were an issue. I was ready to give her a credit card and pay the bill so she could buy whatever she wanted.Kelsey Craft… It had a great ring to it.Convincing her to go visit her dad and bring me along was going to be my next priority. I could tell by her expression she missed her father and that he was important to her. Meeting her family didn’t scare me, if anything, I was eager to shake their hands and tell them how crazy I was for their daughter.I still didn’t understand why Kelsey was so uncertain about introducing me.“You should call your mom,” I said softly once we were in the elevator and he
She pulled her hand back from my thigh and put it in her lap, tension brewing in her forehead. “I told you, my mom isn’t like yours.”I shrugged. “So, tell me what she’s like?” Her brows knitted, and I reached for her arms, pulling her so she was snug against my side. “Nothing she could do would change my intentions toward you.”Kelsey’s slipped her arms around my waist and nuzzled her head against my chest, hiking her leg over my thighs to get comfortable.“Nancy Neely is…bitter.”“About…?”Letting out a long breath, she finally spilled. “Ever since my dad left, she’s been resentful.”“He left you both?”“Sort of, I was young, I close to six, and at that age, I didn’t know what to believe. He wasn’t around for a good few years, only calling on holidays and birthdays. My mom would gripe and complain that
“We should take it easy the rest of the day,” I said softly, gently touching my thumb to her cheek where the bruise was forming.She frowned. “Mack Craft, are you turning down sex?”I smirked. “Only because you’re using sex to get out of something you don’t want to do.”Her frown flipped into a grin. “I guess you do need more than an hour to get the job done,” she goaded.I chuckled and ran my tongue along the top of my teeth. Shrugging, she kissed me on the cheek and began to walk away, but I grabbed her wrist and stopped her. “You want a quick fuck?”Her eyes widened and she licked her lips, then nodded. “Yes.”The answer was breathy when it left her mouth, her chest beginning to rise at a rapid rate while my eyes roamed up and down her body. I gave her wicked grin, the yanked her back to me, flipping her around so her front was against the window. She moaned whe
The telltale sound of his zipper sent a shiver down my back. He blew air through his nose, and I knew he was stroking himself. I wanted to spin around and help him, but he kept a firm hand on my hip, then skidded it to the front of my thigh, urging me to sit back on him. Both his arms stabilized me now, steadying me while I hovered over his shaft.The tip of his cock brushed against my clit and I shifted backward, engulfing his length between my folds. I found a rhythm that rubbed the sensitive bud perfectly.“That’s it baby, move how you like,” he murmured, keeping himself from driving into me, but encouraged the gyration of my hips with his palms.My hands were set on his desk, leaning as far forward as I could, giving me the leverage I needed to keep a steady pace.He groaned, palming my belly. I covered his hand, feeling a bond between the four of us. If I were out of the moment or trying to explain it to someone, they wouldn’t get it,
Seven Months LaterKelsey“Mrs. Craft, you’re glowing today!” Ms. Carmichael greeted, standing from her seat. She paced around her desk, taking me in from head to toe.I hadn’t been in the office in over a month due to the doctor’s orders. After our dash of a wedding with only a handful of people in attendance, bedrest was requested, and sitting around the apartment was causing me to go stir crazy.Ms. Carmichael crinkled her nose. “Does Mr. Craft know you’re coming to visit?”Holding up a container, I said, “No, I thought I’d bring him some lunch.” She chewed on her bottom lip, and I laughed. “Don’t worry, if he’s grumpy it’ll be geared towards me, not you.”She laughed, but the tension around her eyes proved she was timid toward calling him. I’d help with that. His eight months pregnant wife could interrupt his work.When I came in, the
MackThe day I had been planning for the past month was finally here, and although it didn’t go into motion until a month ago, I had imagined it happening since November. I’d dropped a pretty penny to make my vision become a reality, and with the help of Portia and my mother, Kelsey would be in awe and left speechless, and hopefully even more full of joy than she already was.I buttoned my light blue dress shirt while I stared at my sun kissed face in the mirror, still wondering if the past year had been a dream. It was on this day a year ago that I took the chance and closed the space between us in my office, opening a whole new world that neither of us expected to unravel. I was still just as hungry for her now as I was then, but now, I couldn’t live without her, and I was ready to take the final step to becoming fully committed.Kelsey came behind me, wrapping her arms around my waist and resting his head between my shoulder blades. &ldquo
One Month LaterKelseyI inhaled the fresh salty air, basking in the warm sun I’d desperately longed for. Winter in Ohio was rough, and when Mack surprised me with tickets to a resort in the Florida Keys, I was ecstatic.My skin was smooth and hungry for the rays while I laid on the cozy outdoor lounger next to our private pool that overlooked the beach. Mack had jumped in the pool to cool off, and I was enjoying the view of his defined shoulder blades and biceps while he swam.I’d been exhausted the past three months, and found a new bundle of energy when he’d given me the airline ticket. I was going to take advantage of our alone time, and the pulse that awakened between my legs was going to make up for all the nights I’d fallen asleep before getting lost in him.Mack never complained, if anything, he was coddling me, and I was eager to take care of him, and soon. He climbed out of the pool, his forearms flexing alon
Small sized single showers weren’t intimidating to Mack Craft when he wanted sexy time together. You’d think I’d be gun shy when it came to shower sex considering I slipped and gauged my head the last time we messed around, but I was more than ready to have his hands on me. The close proximity made our time together all the more better.We crawled into bed after our thorough shower, Mack in sweats and me in one of his t-shirts, the heavy, Aztek designed quilt covering us both. Mack pulled me to his chest and tangled our legs together.He ran his fingers through my damn hair, taking turns between stroking and massaging. A softness was laced with his gaze, his brows relaxed as his eyes took me in. “Tell me about your day with my dad,” I asked him, wondering if the time he spent with him was partly why his temperament was easy.“It was eye-opening and much needed. I didn’t realize the reservations were so poverty stricken.&
She met my grin, and did as I asked, rolling to her side as I climbed off her, then continued unpacking.Kelsey must have been tired because her breathing had changed within minutes of closing her eyes. I loved watching her sleep. Something about her relaxed state was soothing and brought me comfort knowing she felt safe and cared for to sleep soundly.***Lunch with my mother came in what felt like the snap of my fingers, and I found myself sitting in my car giving myself a pep talk before joining her at her favorite restaurant. Normally we’d sit outside, but the weather was bitter cold and snow was still on the ground.“Don’t overthink this,” I murmured to myself, my hands sliding around the steering wheel. Taking another deep breath, I shut off the car and headed into the café.She was sitting at a table when I arrived, her back to me. Her dark hair was tied back into it’s perfect bun, her j
“Has Kelsey been hunting with you?” I asked as we sat on logs near the lake. Amos had started a fire and had butchered parts of the elk. I wasn’t expecting him to pull out cooking utensils and seasons from his backpack, prepared to roast whatever animal we’d come across for dinner.He took a long drag of his cigarette before answer. “No, she hasn’t. I wish I had taught her, but it’s not my people’s way. Hunting is meant for the man, not the woman. I know that’s a stereotype the world doesn’t like to hear, but it’s our culture, and if our people don’t like it, they don’t have to do it. We don’t hold our own kind hostage.”I rested my elbows on my knees. “You don’t like that she has a career and lives in the city, do you?”Amos kept his eyes on the flames, watching the piece of meat cook. “I wish she were closer to home. I’m glad she’s foun
I found myself getting into Talon’s basketball game. He was pretty athletic, and ran the court with assertiveness. I wasn’t surprised, the kid had a strong disposition, and leadership would be in his future if he kept it up.Carsyn sat on Kelsey’s lap for most of the game, talking her ear off until she gave him her phone to play with. I didn’t mind that he was chatty, he didn’t require answers from me or Amos, so we were able to focus on the game. Amos was more interested than I would have predicted, and even cheered for his boy. Simon was on the end of the bench as one of the assistant coaches, the one who made sure they were all hydrated and encouraged.“You’ll have fun,” Kelsey said while Simon mingled with some of the other parents just outside of the gym in the parking lot, and Amos gave Talon his fatherly recap of the basketball game. “My dad is a big teddy bear.”I touched her cheek. “I&rsq
“Sorry I passed out last night,” Kelsey said when I emerged from the bathroom. I’d woken up a few hours earlier, unable to fall back asleep, so I plugged in my computer and ran through some emails while she continued to sleep. As badly as I wanted to wake her for a shower, she needed her rest.“I was tired too,” I admitted. My eyes closed nearly as fast as hers did.I’d woken up when she had her first round of morning sickness, but didn’t want her to realize I’d heard her. I knew she felt awkward when I’d try to comfort her, and I also knew if I started to move around, she wouldn’t be able to fall back asleep. She needed to rest more now that she was growing two babies.She stood from the bed and stretched, her hips showing when her arms rose into the air. She’d thrown on one of my white undershirts, and like normal, her nipples were poking against the thin fabric to say good morning. Reaching out
