WildI'm almost positive the alarm on my bedside table hasn't gone off yet, but something has me awake and up. A loud moan is ripped from my throat as I feel a hand on my morning wood. "Addie." I thrust my fingers into her hair."Way to go, moaning my name first thing in the morning," she laughs softly as she attacks my neck.Her hand at my cock is moving at the best pace. Not too fast, not too slow - just fuckin' right to get me off. Doesn't matter that what we did last night had me completely decimated. This morning I'm hard and ready to go. "Never slept all night with another woman," I admit as I tilt my head back against the pillow, thrusting up into her hand. "You're the first, and before you say it. When I was sick doesn't count.""Are you kidding?" she questions, her hand not losing its rhythm."Nope, you don't know where I come from. Nobody wanted to get with me," I force those words out, doing my best to not come all over her hand, but fuck it feels good."All thos
AddieAprilTo say I'm nervous is one of the biggest understatements of the year. I've worked hard the past few weeks trying to figure out who I am and where I want to be. Most of that work has been done internally, even though I have spent time talking to Wild about it off and on. Usually after I've spent the night with him and he's holding me in his arms. He's a good listener, one of the best, if I'm being completely honest."Why haven't you talked to your mom about what's going on with you? I know I've only been a part of the Heaven Hill family for a short time, but I don't see what the issue would be if you talked to her about it." He trails his fingers up and down my bare arm.I'm quiet for longer than I would like to be, but I know the answer, I know exactly why I haven't asked her, why I'm scared to. It's hard to admit to someone else, another person who sees you as openly as Wild does me. In the past few weeks I've found there's not much I can hide from him. This man ca
WildI came to work late today after helping Jagger on a repo, and when I did, I heard Tyler had lit out of here like his bike was on fire. I'd wanted to ask around, see if something happened to Addie, but at the same time I don't want to give us away to anyone who could put two and two together.My fingers itch to text her, but I know if she needs me, she'll let me know. It's not easy, sitting and waiting to hear if something has happened to the woman you've grown to care about."Tyler's on his way back," Jagger tells me as we keep trying to pull the engine out we're working on. "So whatever it was, it must not have been too bad."I hope not. But then again, no one knows about the conversation I had with Addie. As far as I know I'm the only one privy to the way she's been feeling, and I hope it hasn't all come to a head. When I hear his bike pulling into the lot, it takes everything I have not to run to him and ask what the fuck has happened, if she's okay, if she needs me.
AddieWe're sitting in the chair, me on his lap, and he's holding his arms loosely around me. It's what I need though, this silence, this peace after I've been so caught up in my own head lately. "Do you want to talk about it, Shortcake?" he asks as he mindlessly rubs my finger with his.A couple of days ago, I would have told him no, would have avoided this conversation at all costs. Today? Today I think I'm ready, I'm ready to talk about the things that bother me, and ready to let him in. Most people would say I'm wishy-washy, but the truth is once I make a decision, I go balls to the wall with it. I'm an all-in, or an all-out kind of girl, and with Wild – I've decided to be completely all-in."I finally told my mom and dad how I was feeling, ya know like they got stuck with me and then their dreams came true with Caelin. I flat out asked them if they regretted adopting me, because I've felt so out of place lately.""What did they say?""Basically that I'm stupid." I lau
AddieMaySince the day I talked to Wild about how much I miss Tate, it's been eating at me. Yeah maybe she hasn't made the effort to talk to me, but I haven't made the effort either. Sick of wondering what's going on with her, I save the file I'm working on at CRISIS and grab my phone. A quick text message will tell me all I need to know.A: Hey, I know we haven't talked in a while, but I'd really like to catch up if you have time. Maybe we could go for some pie at Harper's?Putting my phone to the side, I don't expect her to answer quickly. The fact of the matter is, we aren't the most important people in each other's lives anymore, and that's okay. We've grown up, and with the growing up comes other priorities. I'm finally beginning not only to realize it, but be okay with it.T: I'd love that! I'm only working half a day because your brother is picking up an extra shift. Meet for lunch?Thank God Caelin's back to work with Cash; if he stayed here any longer, I might hav
WildMother's Day"Dad." Addie rolls her eyes as she grins over at me. "You told me you had this when I asked, and I asked you more than once. You swore you knew how to do this. Do you want to make blueberry pancakes, or do you want to make pancakes with blueberry topping? There is a difference and I need to know what your plan is."This has got to be one of the funniest conversations I've ever heard. The great Tyler Blackfoot asking his daughter how to make pancakes on Mother's Day. Real talk though, this is the first Mother's Day I've celebrated in a very long time. I wasn't sure what do when I was given the invitation to spend it with the Blackfoot family, but I can honestly say, it's going to be nice to be a part of something like this."Do you want me to come over? I'm at Wild's. I can be there in a few minutes. This needs to be good for Mom, you know she does shit for us all year, and puts up with Caelin. She deserves to have a great breakfast."I groan loudly. Did she
Addie"Thanks for making sure the Mother's Day stuff got taken care of," Caelin tells me as we have a seat on the couch in the living room. Wild and Dad are taking care of putting the dishes in the dishwasher and Mom has disappeared upstairs. "No problem. It's my job as the older, more mature one of us," we laugh as we look at each other. "So," he plays with his phone as he's slides a glance over at me. "You and Wild are moving in together?""Yeah, that okay with you, little brother?"I've never asked his permission for anything in my life, but we've always been close, even if we haven't had time to hang out lately. I do appreciate his seal of approval and his opinion on most matters. "He seems like a really cool guy, I haven't hung out with him much, but he looks at you like dad looks at mom, so I can't complain."Most people would say Caelin doesn't pay attention to anything, that he's too wrapped up in himself and his own world to even understand what's going on out
AddieJune"What do you mean it fell on him?" I hear Mom saying as she walks down the stairs of CRISIS, her cell phone to her ear. Her voice is tempered with a measure of fear and anxiousness. "Is he okay?"I want badly to ask what the hell is going on. If it's someone I know who has been hurt. All the pertinent information. Immediately I'm worried for my dad, Wilder, and Caelin. For some reason my heart is in my throat as I wait for her to get finished. When she does, she sets the phone down on the desk and takes a deep breath."I gotta go, there's been an accident at Walker's Wheels and someone needs to go sit with Jessica." She's already grabbing all her stuff up, putting it in a bag as she puts her purse over her arm.I'm almost ashamed that the fear leaves my body as I hear it's not someone I'm close to. Then I feel guilty because even though I'm not close to them, they're hurt, and I know immediately it must be her husband."What happened to Layne?"She shakes her h
