All Chapters of Accidental Bibliophiles: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Everett"You want to hang out tonight?" Harper asks, curling up into my side and plants kisses all across my chest. I smile and watch as she scoots closer, rubbing herself against me until she nearly pushes me out of the bed. "What are you doing?" I ask, chuckling slightly. "Trying to get closer to you." she says as if it's obvious. "I think you're as close as you can get." I muse, running my fingers through her hair. "I want to be inside your skin." she whispers, staring up at me. I watch her suspiciously until she cracks a grin, her warm giggles ringing through the room. "You're so weird." I murmur, kissing her forehead and holding her close. "You didn't answer my question." she says, laying her head on my chest and running her hand up and down my stomach. "I can't tonight, sweets. I have plans with Jack." I say, slightly disappointed but I made a commitment and I don't want to back out. "What are you guys doing?" she asks, her fingers gliding gently over my skin until goose

JackI carry Bri down the hallway towards her room, laying her gently in her bed. I see her hands start to shake and I lay down next to her, pulling her into my chest. "You alright, sweetheart? We don't have to do anything you don't want to." I say gently, looking in her eyes. She gives me a sweet smile and kisses me softly before pulling away to look at me. "I want to, Jack. I'm just a little nervous." she says and I chuckle a little. "Me too, angel." I admit and watch as her expression softens while she looks at me. "Kiss me." she pleads quietly. I lean down to capture her lips with mine, moving against her and lifting my hand to run it gently through her hair. I take my time kissing her, doing my best to pour as much love and affection into it as I can. Slowly, I start to feel her body relax under me, her hands wandering my body as little moans slip from her throat. I'm painfully hard, but I still go slow as I let my hand wander down her body and up her shirt, gliding my finge

Jack"Follow me around here." "What the fuck, dude. Slow down." Ev snaps. "Come on they're closing in on us." I shoot back. "Cover my ass." "Fuck, he got me. Res me, bro." I scoff at him. "How am I supposed to do that when I'm fighting for my life. Fuck!" I scream just as blood is splattered across the TV screen. "One shotted! How the fuck did he one shot through a fucking wall!?" I exclaim while Ev tosses his controller to the side and stands up to let Basil in through the back door. "You're a terrible squad leader." he says, grabbing something to drink out of the fridge. He tosses me a can of pop before he sits back down. Basil jumps up on the couch and lays down in the spot between us, resting his head on my knee. I scratch behind his ear as I click through the game to reenter the que. "Thanks for letting us come over and hang out." I say, taking a drink before setting it down on the coffee table. "Coaster, asshole!" Ev snaps, lifting my can and placing it on a coaster for m

JackI hear a new siren barreling down the street, high pitched and loud. There's something heart wrenching about knowing it's coming for someone you love. "Jack?" Bri asks weakly. "Yeah, sweetheart. I'm right here." I say, stroking my thumbs across her temples as I watch Harper's mom put pressure on where the knife is protruding from her stomach. Bri gasps and lets out a shriek of pain that makes me wish, not for the first time, that I was the one stabbed. "It hurts." she says, looking up at me with tears in her eyes. My vision blurs as my own eyes begin to fill, but I sniff them away and focus on her. I lean down and kiss her forehead, then both of her cheeks."I know, baby. We'll get you all fixed up soon." I murmur in her ear just as two paramedics come barreling into the house. "Back here!" Harper's mom calls. The two men hurry down the hallway and kneel on the ground by Bri's side and get to work. "Took you long enough. What, you on lunch?" Harper's mom snaps at them. They g

EverettOne Week Later..."Stop fidgeting." Harper whispers from next to me as we walk into the foreboding building. "I can't help it. This tie is so uncomfortable." I say back, adjusting the itchy fabric around my neck. Harper sighs from next to me, clearly at her wits end with my complaining. She pushes up on her tiptoes and leans in close to whisper in my ear. "If you're good and leave it alone, I'll let you tie me up with it later." I gasp and turn to look at her. "This is a funeral, Harper. Be respectful." I say sternly. "But like, for real?" I ask trying to gauge how serious she is. She snorts, trying to hold back a laugh, but I'm still staring at her waiting for an answer. "There's Bri and Jack." she says, walking ahead of me. "Hey, you didn't answer the question." I whisper yell as I follow her, trying not to watch her ass sway in the black dress she's wearing. Part of me thinks Pearl would be proud of me if I did though. "This shit is depressing as fuck." Jack says, ru
