Untamed (A Moretti Novel) (18 page)

“Mia!”  Lily yelled from the bedroom.

“What?  I know you.  You want a rock.”  Mia laughed.

“She can have whatever she wants.”  Steve smiled. 

“Do you have a brother?  I need a Wainwright of my very own.”

“There’s a Reynolds.  I believe you’ve met him?”

Mia’s face turned bright red.  She hadn’t let the relationship develop into anything other than some steamy kisses.  Damien was gone for a good portion of the year and she hoped she’d see him again.  She stood up and headed toward her bedroom.  “I’m not sure who you’re talking about.”

Steve’s laugh echoed behind her.  Mia was going to love having him in the family. 
“Night night, red.  See you in the morning.”

Lily collapsed onto the sofa.  “I’m exhausted but I’m all packed.”

“You sure you want to leave tomorrow?  There’s no hurry.”  Steve kissed her gently. 

“Caleb and Jena are getting married next weekend.  It’s time to go home.”

He wrapped his arms around her.  “I like the sound of that.”

“I’ve been afraid to ask.  But what changed your mind?”

Steve shivered.  “I promise I will tell you eventually.  What’s most important is that I finally realized how much I need you.”

Chapter 22

Steve shifted in his seat.  Lily was killing him.  Her tanned legs went on for miles in her frayed denim shorts. 
Could they be any shorter?
  The plane felt too small with the reaction his body was having to being so close to her.  He needed to touch her.  He needed to taste her.  The cross country flight would be close to five hours.  He wouldn’t make it.

He glanced at her again.  She had white knuckled her arm rest for takeoff and now she was
sound asleep.  Convinced he would just look out the window, he shifted in his seat again. One innocent touch.  That’s what he needed.  He ran his fingers from her knee to the hem of her shorts.  She moaned in her sleep. 

“Shit.” He groaned.  He ran his finger under the edge of her shorts and she stirred.  “I’m horny as fuck.”

Lily smiled but kept her eyes closed.  “You’re insatiable.”

Steve’s fingers shifted higher and Lily stiffened.  They were on a full flight.  His broad shoulders blocked the view of the passengers to the side but there was no mistaking what was happening if
someone was walking by.  She glanced at his shorts.  His erection strained against his zipper. 

“I need to taste you.”  Steve pushed her panties aside and ran his fingers through her
heat.  She was wet and ready.  He slipped one finger into her core and twisted it, massaging her G spot.  Her eyes rolled back in her head and he smiled.  “You want to come, baby?”

Her eyes darted around the cabin.  “I need to come.”

“So do I.”  He whispered as he added another finger.  Her excitement pooled around his fingers, hot and wet.  “My girl likes that.  I can feel you clenching.  Close your eyes.  Imagine it’s my cock filling you.  Rubbing over that spot that drives you crazy.  You’re close, baby.  You just need one more little rub, right there.”

Lily’s leg
s shook.  Her walls tightened around his fingers and she exploded with pleasure.  Her body flushed with heat.  She bit his shoulder to keep from screaming.  Every orgasm he gave her was more intense than the last.  He was a talker and there was nothing sexier than his deep voice whispering what he wanted. 

When the last spasm subsided, Lily looked into his eyes.  She watched as he lifted his fingers to his mouth and sucked.  He moaned as her juices hit his tongue.  “You’re so sweet.”

“That was so hot.”  She whispered.  “I need to go clean up.  I’ll be right back.”

Steve stood up to let her out.  Once she was halfway down the aisle, he followed.  Consequences
be damned.  It had been five hours since he had made love to her.  They had too much lost time to make up for. He scanned the passengers.  Everyone was asleep, watching movies or working on laptops.  The flight crew was passing out drinks, leaving the back lavatory area unattended.

As Lily was closing the folded door, Steve put his foot in to block it.  Her eyes met his and she smiled. 

He pushed his way into the bathroom, locking the door behind him. “Drop the shorts and face the mirror.”

She didn’t hesitate.  As he stepped behind her in the cramped room, she felt his arousal through his shorts.
  “Same rules apply to you.  Drop ‘em and let’s do this.”   She wiggled her ass against him.

He fumbled in his back pocket looking for a condom.  She was impatient and he was taking too long.  She turned and unbuttoned his top button. 
Once the zipper was down, she shoved his shorts and boxers down to his ankles.

“Stop stalling. You’re clean and I’m on the pill.  I want to feel you.  No barriers.”  Lily turned back around and spread her legs.  Bracing her hands on the counter, she met his eyes in the mirror.
  “I dare you to make me come again.”

Steve shoved into her, both of them moaning at the connection.  His eyes stayed locked with hers as he circled his hips.  “You like this?”  He picked up his pace. 
“Or this?”

“Hard.”  Lily panted. 
“I like when we make love but right now I need you to fuck me.”

Steve pulled back and slammed his way back in.  His pace was frantic as they raced toward
orgasm.  His body slapped against hers, her excitement apparent with each stroke.  The sound was music to his ears.

“I’m so close.”  Lily’s eyes were hooded as she continued to watch him in the mirror. 

His fingers came around and stroked her clit.  Tiny spasms begin in the hardened nub and he knew she wouldn’t last much longer.  “You’re soaked.  You hear that, baby?  That’s sexy as fuck.” 

She nodded her head. 
“Only for you.  It’s never been like this.”

“Grab your nipples.”  Steve pulled her hand up the front of her shirt.  When she did, his cocked jumped. 
“I’ve never been this hard.  I need to come, baby.  I can’t do it without you.”

Steve ran his fingers through their connection, making them wet.  Her ass was perfect and he needed to own it.  He gently pushed against her rim and she moaned.  She pushed back against his finger, urging him forward.  “Yes.”

That was all he needed to hear.  He eased his finger into her.  Her tight muscles relaxed, allowing his to push in further.  Her body began to quiver.  “Your ass is so sexy.”  He slowed his strokes to match the pace of his finger.  She squirmed and whimpered. 

“That feels so good.”  She cried. 
“Oh my God.”

Her walls tightened around his cock, tremors vibrating
between them.  Her legs buckled as the force of her orgasm caused her to cry out his name.  Her climax so powerful, it flowed down her legs.  The spasms pulled at Steve, drawing his orgasm out at full force.  Dark spots formed behind his eyes as the most powerful climax of his life surged from his body.

“Holy fuck.”
  He growled against her neck.  His breath was coming in short spurts as he attempted to regain his footing.  “Your body was made for me.”

She smiled, still looking at him in the mirror.  “I’m not convinced.  I think we need to try that a few more times before I’m certain.”

“I’ve got all the time in the world.  I’m not going anywhere.”  As Steve pulled out, he instantly missed her warmth.  He would never be able to get enough of her. 

“Thank you for coming back for me.”  Lily kissed him.  “I’ve never been this happy.”

“Thank you for having me even though I was a fucking idiot and didn’t see what I had right in front of me.”

“
Are you ready to tell me what changed your mind?”  Lily stroked his cheek.

Steve closed his eyes
. The  Memories of the accident were too raw to ignore.  When he met her eyes again, his were full of tears.  “I’m not ready to talk about it.  Soon, baby.”

“I’ll be here when you are.”  Lily kissed him once more
before pushing her way out of the bathroom and back to row 18.

Chapter 23

“That’s blatant cheating, Moretti.  Give me the cards.”  Caleb laughed as Mark tried to bluff his way out of a terrible hand.  “Sophie, I can’t believe you chose such a pain in the ass for a husband.”

Mark laughed as he threw his cards down on the table.  “You’re one lucky son of a bitch at cards.” 

Kevin snorted.  “We’re out here at the pool with our half naked women parading around and you two idiots are playing cards. Please kill me if I ever turn into either one of you.”  He pulled his sunglasses off his head and slid them onto his face. 
“Idiots.”

The early afternoon sun reflected off the crystal water in
the pool.  Kevin had hit the jackpot when he found the lot.  The infinity pool overlooked the city and the wooded area surrounding the sides of the house gave them as much privacy as they needed.  And they needed it.  He and Andi spent almost every evening in the pool or on the back porch.  The house had been exactly what he dreamed about.  A large second story balcony overlooked the most amazing view in the hills and large windows covered the entire back of the house. They had turned the house into a home and he couldn’t wait to start a family.

Kevin smiled as he watched his wife.  She was more gorgeous now than the day he had met her.  She absently rubbed her belly, unaware that she was
even doing it.  They would need to announce their secret eventually.  The mornings were getting easier as Andi’s second trimester approached but it wouldn’t be long before the little bump was more prominent. 

Steve walked into the backyard and sat down next to Kevin with a huff.  He put his h
ead into his hands.  Kevin looked at him with wide eyes.  “No fucking way.  She didn’t come back with you?”

Steve tried to hide his smile under his hands.  He shook his head no.

“Did you tell her you loved her?”  Kevin put his hand on Steve’s shoulder.  “Man, I’m so sorry.  That’s bullshit.  I know she loves you.  I’m calling her.”

Lily held his phone out to him.  “You need this?”

Kevin jumped out of his seat and punched Steve in the arm.  “You son of a bitch.  I felt sorry for you.”  He looked at Lily and smiled.  “Welcome home, doll.”

She jumped into his arms.  “Thank you,
Kev.  I’m happy to be back.  Why are Moretti and Allen playing cards while Jena and Sophie are in bikinis?”

Kevin belly laughed. 
“Exactly.” 

Steve chuckled as he got up.  “I’m grab
bing a beer.  You want one, Lil?”

Lily shook her head as Steve left.  “I’m so happy.  You were right.  You said all along that he’d realize he loved me. 
Thank you for being my rock.”  She sat down across from him, noticing his arm for the first time.  “Holy shit.  What happened to your arm?  How many stitches are in there?”

Kevin looked at his arm, memories of the accident rushed back.  Andi could have been hurt, could have lost the baby.  He had lost so much blood and had been in such shock that he didn’t realize how bad it had gotten.  He felt the sadness fill his eyes.  It had taken fifty stitches and ten staples to close the wound.  He remembered the nurses running around his room, pumping him full of fluids before his blood transfusion.  The smell of the antiseptic had filled his nose and the memories of waking up after the heart attack had sent pure fear through his body. 

Mark had dropped his bike and he knew he’d need to do the same.  He’d watched the edge of the cliff coming up faster than he could stop his body, his bike, or Andi.  He’d thrown his arm out in an attempt to push her away.  He’d felt the pain of the jagged slice that opened up his arm.  Nothing mattered but stopping the momentum of Andi’s body and getting her away from the edge.

After his fourth night of waking up in a cold sweat, Andi had diagnosed him with post traumatic stress disorder.  He was having a harder time bouncing back from the accident than he had when he had almost died earlier in the year.  Seeing Steve helpless, hanging on by a simple rock, had caused pure panic and undeniable fear.  Even when he
knew Steve was safe, Kevin had been full of anxiety.  The doctors had kept him an extra night to make sure he was alright.  The accident had stirred a sense of loss that he had been unable to shake. 

“I was terrified.”  Kevin whispered.  His voice was full of emotion.  “Seeing Mark drop his bike and knowing I’d have to do the same.  Just knowing Andi was on the back.  Flying toward the edge thinking I was going over.  Then seeing Steve and knowing we were going to lose him.  I’m haunted by it.”

Lily’s eyes filled with tears.  Panic was written all over Kevin’s face and it was emotion she had never seen from him.  “What are you talking about?”  Her voice was barely a whisper. 

Kevin looked at Steve
in panic.  Their eyes met and Steve mouthed ‘
it’s ok’
.  Looking back at Lily, his heart broke.  “The day he flew to Georgia, there was an accident.  Maybe he needs to be the one to tell you.”

“No.”  Lily looked for Steve but noticed he was already making his way back to her.  He sat next to her on the chaise and held her hand.
  “Tell me what happened.”
