Surviving Regret (47 page)

He was right at my entrance, but before he entered, he asked, “You’re not too sore, are you?”

“No.” I answered and then sunk down on him.

He buried himself deep inside me and whispered, “God, you are so tight.” He groaned. “This is going to be hard and fast.”

I buried my face in his neck, kissed him and lightly bit him. He thrust so hard and so fast, bringing me closer to my orgasm. Everything started to tingle and the back of my head hit the shower wall.

Hunter threw his head back and moaned, “Let go, CC.”

We both fell over the edge at the same time.

As we started to come down from our high, Hunter rested his forehead on mine and said, “I’ll never get enough of this.” He kissed me a few more times before he lowered my legs.

We cleaned up again, and he walked out of the bathroom in just a towel. When he walked back in, he had put on a pair of boxer briefs. In his hand was a blow dryer. He plugged it in, pulled me in front of him and started drying my hair.

No one had ever done this for me, no one except my mom when I was little. I hated when someone dried my hair all wrong, but when Hunter did it, I didn’t care if he did it right or not. When my hair was all dried, I turned around to thank him.

Hunter carried me over to the bed and gently laid me down. “Now, stay here while I go make us breakfast.” He walked out of the door, and a second later, he stuck his head back in the doorway. “And don’t put any clothes on. Actually, don’t put clothes on at all this weekend.” Then he walked away again.

I laughed, threw myself back on the pillows and reached over to grab my phone. There was a text message from Hailey.

Hailey 9:37am: How’s the v-card

Me 11:02am: What v-card? Xoxo

Then I scrolled to my mom’s text.

Mom 10:48am: Hope you’re enjoying your time with Hunter.

Me: 11:05am: I am love u

A few minutes later I got a text back from Hailey. Or, at least, that’s who it said it was from.

Hailey 11:11am: WHAT! Hope you’re fucking kidding?

A few seconds later, I heard Hunter’s phone ringing downstairs.
Fuck!
I guess Mason saw the text. I didn’t hear Hunter answer, so I guess he let it go to voicemail. He walked up a few minutes later with pancakes, eggs, orange juice, and a stargazer, my favorite flower. Leave it to Hunter to remember this stuff, when I never thought through the years that he had cared or even paid attention.

“So…” I didn’t want to ruin the mood. I had to make sure he knew what had happened so if he answered his phone, he would be prepared. “I think Mason knows about us.”

Looking confused, he said, “What do you mean he knows about us? He’s seen us kissing and shit.”

“No, I mean he knows we slept together.” I looked down to my hands and back up at him. “Hailey and I were texting. I think he saw.”

He didn’t say anything for a while. I didn’t want to ruin our time alone together but he had needed to know.

He shrugged. “We’ll deal with it when we get back.”

We ate our breakfast in bed, while we watched TV, not really talking at all.

When we finished, Hunter asked if I wanted to learn how to play pool. Little did he know, I already knew. But I didn’t tell him that little secret. I threw on a pair of yoga pants and a tank top. We went downstairs and Hunter set up the balls and then explained to me how to break. The first time I missed, and he showed me again. The second time, I nailed it, exactly as I always did.

Hunter eyed me but didn’t say anything. I sunk two solids so it was still my turn. All the shots for me to take were hard and I wasn’t ready for Hunter to catch on to the fact that I knew how to play. I looked over at him and asked, “You going to stand there or help me?”

Smirking, he walked over and stood flush with my body, then pointed to the one he wanted me to hit. He slightly bent me over and positioned me to hit the ball. As he pulled back, I wiggled my ass and he completely missed.

He thrust his hips into me as I started laughing. “You think this is funny, do you?”

“No, not at all.”

He turned me around to face him then picked me up and placed me on the table. He drew my tank up and off me.

“I love these.” He whispered as he took the back of one of his fingers and trailed it from my cheek, down my neck, and then circled my nipple. He placed a kiss over it and then did the same to the other one. He replaced his lips with his tongue and circled my hard nipple.

He was driving me crazy doing this, taking his time with my body.

“Hunter.” I whimpered his name and arched my back when he lightly bit my nipples.

Thankfully, he didn’t tease me for too long before he started placing open mouth kisses between the valley between my breasts. He traveled down my stomach, twirling his tongue in my belly button and then placed a kiss on each of my hips before he looked up at me.

“You ok if I do this?” Hunter asked. Thank God, Hailey and I went and had our waxes done this week.

I couldn’t form words, so I smiled and nodded my head. He placed each of my feet on the table, slid my ass forward and spread my legs, giving him access.

As he bent down and placed his hand on my knees, he said, “CC, you’re shaking baby.” He kissed the inside of my knee before resting it on his shoulder. “Don’t be nervous.” He kissed the inside of my other knee before he placed it on his other shoulder.

He looked at me with such intensity in his eyes. “So pretty,” he whispered, before he placed a kiss on my sex. As soon as his lips touched me, I bucked my hips off the table. Hunter chuckled and then did it again and again.

Hunter reached around my right leg and separated my folds with his fingers, then placed an open mouth kiss there. He replaced his kisses with his tongue, and my hips again bucked right off the table.

This was too much and too intense.

“I got you, CC.” Hunter groaned. “Let me taste you, all of you.”

I wanted to tell him to stop but I couldn’t speak as his tongue started torturing me. Sucking and twirling his tongue was almost my undoing. I was panting and whimpering so hard it was almost embarrassing.

Hunter pulled his mouth from me, looked up, smirked and put a finger inside me. Then he started lapping his tongue all over me again. I was so close; my legs started squeezing his head; my fingers locked in his hair, trying to ease the intensity.

Pulling back he whispered, “Let go, CC.”

Oh God, did I. I came so hard, and so fast I was seeing stars.

After I came back down from my high, Hunter was right there waiting for me. He looked at me with this expression on his face that I couldn’t explain. He picked me up and carried me back upstairs to the bedroom where we both snuggled up and fell asleep.

CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE

When I woke up a few hours later, Hunter just laid there, watching me sleep.

“Do you ever sleep?”

“Yeah, but not this weekend; I want to spend every minute with you.” He kissed me. “I had plans to take you to hiking, but I don’t want to share you with the trees and mountains.”

I smiled. “Good, cause I don’t want to share you with anyone either.”

We laid around the house for the rest of the night. We went downstairs and curled up on the couch together to watch a movie. We relaxed in front of the fireplace in the living room, talking about all the crazy stuff we did growing up together. We wrapped up in blankets, ordered a pizza for dinner, and ate in front of the fire.

After Hunter finished off the last of the pizza, we went outside to get into the hot tub. I slipped off the robe and climbed into the hot water.

He stepped into the hot tub, but I stopped him before he moved. I sat up on my knees, and feeling completely brave, I ran my hands from his ankles all the way up to his legs to his hips. I looked up at him watching me with hooded eyes. Still working off my bravery, I grabbed the base of his cock and his head fell back. I stuck my tongue out and licked his cock from the base to the tip, memorizing every inch of him. Then I took him in my mouth.

Adjusting to the size of him, I started bobbing my head up and down, twirling my tongue around his head. I started to pick up speed, and he wrapped his hands in my hair. That was all the approval I needed from him. I took my right hand that was holding onto his leg and grabbed the base of him. I started working his base with my hand and sucked as much as I could of him in my mouth, working on a good rhythm. It only took a couple of minutes before he started to tense and I knew he was close.

“Damn, CC, you have to stop, or I’m going to come in your mouth.” He said breathing heavy.

I moaned when he said that. It sent that tingling feeling straight to my middle, and the vibrations of my moan nearly pushed him over the edge.

“Fuck, don’t do that,” he said panting.

I picked up my speed, stroking and sucking, harder and faster. Hunter stopped moving my head, his legs locked and he cried out his release. I did it for Dominic before, but with Hunter, it was something completely different. I never liked the taste of Dominic but I would never get enough of Hunter.

Reaching his hand down, he slowly pulled me up his body. When I was finally within reach, he placed open mouth kisses on my shoulders up to my neck and then to my lips.

He rested his forehead on mine and said, “Now it’s my turn to return the favor.”

“Next time, I’ll take an IOU for now.” I winked at him.

Hunter and I relaxed in the hot tub until we started turning all wrinkly. We ran back inside and up to our room. Hunter started the fireplace while I went to dry my hair.

I climbed into bed and cuddled up next to Hunter. We laid there in contented silence and watched fireworks go off out through the bedroom window. When midnight fell, Hunter kissed me with those amazing lips of his until we were both breathless. We stayed up until the fire died out and then both of us fell asleep peacefully, wrapped in each other’s arms.

A nightmare woke me in the middle of the night; it took me a few minutes to realize whom I was with, and where I was. I didn’t want my time here with Hunter to end when morning came.

The sting of tears hit my eyes as I watched Hunter sleeping. I tried to hold the sob back, but I couldn’t. I knew deep in my heart when we went back home things were going to change.

Hunter stirred and opened his eyes. He wiped the tears away. “CC, don’t cry, baby.”

Each kiss and touch from Hunter was filled with so much passion. He climbed on top of me and stared into my eyes. He pushed himself in and stilled. I tried to move under him but he shook his head.

“Please, Hunter, I need this. I need you.” I said, begging.

“CC,” he said with a hushed voice, “I love you so much, baby.”

I sucked in a breath; those words were not words I was expecting him to say. “I love you too, Hunter.”

I now understood why he never told me those words before. He was waiting until I was ready for them, until I needed them the most.

We made love, so slow, with so much adoration for what seemed like hours. We were worshipping each other’s bodies, begging the other to understand without the words.

After we were done, we fell back asleep, wrapped in each other’s arms.

When we woke up the next morning, I had an uneasy feeling as to what would come when we made it home in the next ten hours. Hunter and I took a shower together, made love one last time, and told each other how much we loved each other again and again. The rest of the morning was very quiet between the both of us. We got everything packed up and started our dreadful ride home.

***

It was around dinnertime when we arrived home on Sunday.

Hunter turned off the truck but didn’t make a move to get out. He took my hand.

“No matter what happens when we step foot out of this truck, know I love you. Nothing will ever change that, nothing.”

A few tears fell from my eyes. With those words he must of anticipated problems.

I wiped my eyes with the back of my hands and smiled. “I love you too.” I took one deep breath. “Ok, let’s go face the music.”

We walked into the house hand in hand I didn’t look anyone in the eye. We went directly to the kitchen. I was thankful he had not dropped my hand yet. If he did, a little piece of my heart would break.

My brother’s conversation stopped. All three scowled.

“We need to talk.” Jackson spoke up first.

Hunter and I nodded. Mason’s stare edged from me to Hunter. Then, he walked out. Great!

The four of us walked outside to the garage. No one said anything for a few minutes.

I decided I needed to speak up first and at least address Cooper, who had no valid argument.

“Look, I know you guys don’t like the idea of me and Hunter. But Coop, you can’t get upset since Hunter knows you’re with Jaylinn.” I’m all worked up over this conversation. “From the day he found out about you and her, he hasn’t treated you any differently. And now, you’re going to start shit because we are together?”

Cooper sighed. “I know. And I know he’ll treat you right. But he broke your heart once before.” His eyes narrowed on Hunter. “You’re like a brother to me. Don’t break my sister’s heart and we won’t have a problem.”
