Needing You (30 page)

I inform her about how our father took a plea deal and is now serving time in jail for what he’s done to us.  I let her know that he is paying for it, that she finally gets her justice that she should have received years ago. I can’t help the tears that start flowing from my eyes.  I cry and tell her how much I miss her every day, that not a single day goes by that I don’t think about her and how life would be if she were here today. I fill her in on everything that’s happened, since she’s been gone.

I’m not sure how long I sit at my sister’s grave, but when Tuck come’s up to me, I realize it’s now dark outside.  He pulls me into a tight hug and just holds me to him.  He’s my safe place.  He doesn’t say anything, he just stands here holding me and eventually, I let him know we can go.

Natalie and Parker took an earlier flight home, so it’s just me and Tuck in our own quiet little world.  We board the plane heading for home. Oregon is now my home along with Tucker Price, my safe haven.  My mom doesn’t try to contact me before we leave and though I’m not surprised, I’m still hurt.  She’s my mom and even knowing everything’s that happened, she’s still my mom. I hate the fact she knew and did nothing, but every girl needs her mom.  I can’t say I forgive her because I don’t, but it would be something I could possibly work through.  That’s a discussion I need to have with my therapist when I get home.

Sensing something’s wrong, “hey babe you alright?” Tuck asks sweetly.

“Yeah, just thinking about my mom,” I say quietly back.

“I’m sorry about your mom; hopefully, she comes to her senses and reaches out to you.  If not, you’re better without her baby. You deserve to be happy,” he says looking sweetly into my tear filled eyes.

“I don’t know what I would do without you, thank you for everything,” I say as I feel the first tear slide down my cheek.

“Baby come here, don’t cry,” he says as he wipes my tears away. “Harp, there is nowhere I would rather be than right here with you,” he says and then leans down and kisses me chastely on the lips.

I forget any and every bad thing during his kiss. Heck, I’d probably forget my own name too.

The rest of the flight is quiet. I snuggle next to Tuck, he holds me close and I fall asleep this way. I’m only interrupted when Tuck wakes me up to let me know we’ve landed. We get our bags and finally head back to my dorm. Thankfully I don’t have classes for two weeks, so I can enjoy the break and more time with Tuck.

The next few days are quiet. I don’t leave the comfort of my dorm. Tuck comes by with his bag, because he’s staying with me during my two week break.  I couldn’t be more excited.  I get two full weeks of living with Tucker Price. How exciting! We will have our time apart, because we both have jobs, but other than that we will be here.

“Hey babe, did you want to go anywhere today?” he says as he puts the last of his things away in the spare drawers I left for him.

“No, I think staying in sounds good to me,” I say with a teasing smile.

“Are you sure, you haven’t left the apartment in a few days.  Why don’t we go out for a while?” he suggests.

Before giving him time to do anything, I walk up to him and pull his face down to mine and kiss him passionately. “I have a better idea,” I say with confidence, as I take my tee shirt off and start walking towards the bed.

“Oh Harp, you’re going to be the death of me,” he says with a deep laugh as he tackles me onto the bed and starts kissing me.

All of a sudden, Tuck stops and stars down at me. “You are absolutely amazing,” he says his eyes a little darker.

“Well, I think you’re amazing too. I can’t thank you again for everything you’ve done for me,” I say looking into his sexy dark brown eyes.

The look in his eyes is unlike anything I’ve ever seen before. “Harp,” he says, as he now has his hands on both sides of my face, so I have no choice but to look up at him into those gorgeous eyes of his. “I am so in love with you, I would do anything for you baby.” And then he leans down and brushes his lips against mine.

I feel tears start to leak out of my eyes. Before I can say anything, Tuck beats me to it. “What’s wrong baby, why are you crying?” he asks with a concerned look.

Through my sniffling, happy tears, you never cease to amaze me. I love you too, so much.” I say, as more tears rush down my cheeks. He leans back down and kisses away my tears.

“I want to make love to you baby.” he says softly as he unhooks my bra and tosses it beside the bed. Just hearing him say that makes my panties wet.

“Please make love to me,” I beg as I pull his shirt over his head and then he brings his lips down to mine and kisses me softly. He slowly moves along my body planting kisses along my cheeks, to my jaw, down my throat, and across my collarbone, slowly working his way down. “Please Tuck, I want you now,” I pant.

“Baby you have me, you have all of me,” he says between kisses. Tuck pulls my pants and panties off, tosses them to the side, and instantly I feel his fingers slip through my wet folds and a whimper comes out of me. “Damn baby, you’re so wet,” he says smugly.

“More Tuck, I need more of you,” I beg.

I then feel Tucker’s finger slip inside of me, followed by another finger.  He starts moving in a motion that has me moving my hips off the bed. He takes my nipple into his mouth and starts sucking hard, while tweaking my other nipple with his fingers.  God, the things this man can do to my body.

“Damn baby, you’re so beautiful,” he says between sucking my nipples.

“I want you inside of me, please,” I continue to beg.

“I will be soon baby; I want you to come for me first. I want to watch you come apart from my touch,” he says in such a sexy tone. I don’t know how, but I’m more wet than physically possible.

All I can do is moan from the feelings this man evokes from me. I can feel myself getting closer and closer. “Damn baby, I need to taste you,” Tuck says as he sinks down to my core and lavishes me with his tongue. Oh holy hell, it feels so amazing. Next think I know, I’m crying out in ecstasy.  Tuck continues to devour me until I stop convulsing and starts kissing his way back up my body.

“That was amazing,” I pant out through short breaths.

“I can’t get enough of you,” he says as he leans down and kisses me on the lips. I can taste myself and I can’t wait for him to be inside me.

“Please Tuck, I need you inside of me now,” I beg. He reaches over to the nightstand to grab a condom, “No condom, I need to feel you skin to skin,” I say with lust filled eyes.

The look on Tuck’s face is priceless. “Baby I don’t….I mean…I..I’ve never had sex without one before,” he says nervously.

“I’m on the pill, have been for years, please, I want to feel all of you inside me,” I beg.

“I’m clean, I swear I am. I get tested and I haven’t been with anyone since we started hanging out,” he starts stammering.

“I know you wouldn’t put me in harm’s way, which is why I’m asking you to do this with me. Please.”

Tuck leans down and starts kissing me frantically like his life depended on it.  Then I feel him, so slowly start entering me, allowing me time to adjust to his size.

“Shit baby, you feel incredible, I’m not sure how long I can last going like this,” he says in a quivering voice.

“We have all day and night,” I say devilishly.

Tuck starts thrusting inside me and then slowly, oh so slowly pulling out, making me whimper at the loss, but before I can say anything, he thrusts inside of me again.

“Oh God Tuck, please don’t stop,” I continue to cry out and Tuck doesn’t let up, he continues his thrusts until we are both screaming each other’s name into oblivion.

“Damn baby that was amazing,” he says as he lies beside me and pulls me close to his body.  I let out a breathless moan, clearly feeling the same way.  Then I fall peacefully asleep in the arms of the man I love.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Before I know it, things are back to normal.  Summer classes start and my hours at PowerTrips are going great.  I pick up more shifts, because I’m only taking two summer courses, so I have more time on my hands.

When I’m not working or attending class, I am either spending time with my super sexy boyfriend or Natalie.  We are becoming closer.  I can see she is smitten with Parker and I couldn’t be happier.  Park is great and deserves someone equally as great and Nat fills that role.

I take a look around and realize how much I have to look forward to in my life. I have a man who loves me, I have more friends thanks to Tuck and Natalie, I have school which is going great, and I have a job I love. I have no idea what I would do without my sexy brown-eyed man, but luckily for me, I don’t have to find out!  I may not have my mom anymore, but I’ve learned that bad things happen to everyone at some point or another in their lives and we all need to pick up the pieces and move on. There are positive things to be grateful for and Tucker Price is one of those positive things.  I am thankful for him each and every single day! I now have people around me who love me for me and I have my sister watching down on me. Life is good.

Since I’m hanging out with Natalie more, that means Parker tends to come around more often too.  Tuck and Parker are talking more and I find myself watching their interaction with one another.  It’s easy to tell they miss their friendship, but I won’t push it.  Things have a way of working themselves out.

I know Nat’s sad because Park’s leaving soon for his upcoming tour, which will have him traveling all around the country.  I’m sad for her, but so excited for him, because this has been his dream.  From what I gather from Tuck, this has always been Parker’s dream, so for it to come true is surreal.  Parker is smitten with Natalie; there’s no other way to say it.  The way he looks at her, even when she doesn’t notice, is adorable.  I hope they can survive his touring schedule.

We try not to talk about Park’s upcoming departure, because it dampens the mood. But the time has come, Park leaves today.  So here we are hanging out with him until the tour bus is filled and ready to go.  Natalie hasn’t left Park’s side and well, he hasn’t left hers either.

“Park, don’t worry, I’ll watch out for our girl,” I say with a smile.  The look I get from Parker and Natalie shows me I’m missing something here, but I won’t dig for more.  I hope in time Natalie will fill me in on what’s going on with her.  For now, I can only wait.

“Thanks Harp,” Parker says with a small smile.

We all say our good-byes and give Parker and the rest of the guys’ hugs, sending them with lots of luck and best wishes.  I know King Dread will kick ass, because they’re awesome to watch and amazing to look at.  Yeah, they will make it just fine.

Look for more Harper, Tuck, Parker, and Natalie, in Natalie’s story next…..2014!
