Chapter Thirty-Six

"Gun?
”
I whisper into the dark. My face is on his chest and I breathe in his scent.

"Yeah, baby?"

I want to know, but I am not sure I can handle what went down. "Your mom is wonderful." I smile and rub the side of my face against his chest.

I can feel his chest move when he laughs. "Yeah, beauty. She
’
s amazing. I just hope that, one day, she can put my old man behind her and move on. The sad thing is, she still cares about him. I don't understand it, but it's not my decision." I can tell it hurts him to talk about his mother and father, but she told me a lot of valuable information that helped me decide that no matter what, I would stand by my man.

"Gun, she loves you, and I think she loves him for giving her you." His hand is caressing my skin and I can feel him tense up with each word.

"Case, no matter what either of you say, I will hate him until the day I die. He threatened your life and my mom's. I don't take that lightly. He is exactly where he fucking belongs."

I can feel the tears drop from my eyes and onto his skin. "Thank you,
”
I say quietly.

He takes a deep breath and sighs, pulling me up so we are face-to-face. "I would do anything for you. You make me want to be a better man, but knowing you have faith in me is what makes all that shit that went down worth it. I won't tell you what I did, but I want you to know I would do it again and again if I needed to."

I take a breath and kiss his lips. "I love you, Gunner."

I can feel his smile as he replies, "Alec."

I pull back, confused. "Alec?" I question.

"My real name is Alec. Alec Michael Foster." I laugh. I never realized Gunner wasn't his real name. Tickling my sides, he asks, "What
’
s wrong with my name, beauty?"

I laugh out loud and snort. Slapping my hand over my mouth, I say, "I just always thought your real name was Gunner. I never imagined it wasn
’
t.
”

I snort again and he just kisses me. "What is your full name, beauty?"

Shaking my head, he says he'll tickle me until I tell him. After a few seconds of torture, I give in. "Fine. Stop!
”
I shriek. "It's Casey Ann Stewart."

He laughs and kisses my forehead. "That's adorable." I punch him and try to roll over. "Come back here,
”
he says, pulling me back to him. "So what happened while I was gone?"

"Well, Dom and I went to see my parents." I haven't told him much about my home life before I moved to Seattle, so he has no idea if this is a good thing or not. He urges me to continue. "She thought Dom and I were together, but when we told her we weren't, it was almost like she was proud of me again. But that only lasted a few seconds because I told her I was dating someone like Dom. She totally freaked. She wants me to be with a doctor or a lawyer from a good family. It's like she wants to marry me off to better their reputation..."

He kisses my cheek. I give him a small smile and he looks me in the eyes. "What happened after that?" It's almost like he knows already. I just shake my head. I don't really want to tell him how I disappoint my family at every turn and that she probably doesn't want anything to do with me, which is fine. I have Anslie, her family, and Gunner. What more do I need?

Looking down, I whisper, "She slapped me. She kicked us out and told me that all I try and do is ruin their family image. Dom pretty much told her off and we left."

I try and hide my face in his neck, but he forces me to look at him. "Casey, you are the most beautiful and most giving person I know. Your parents are fucking morons if they don't see how perfect you are. Hell, I'm sure my mom is already planning on us getting married one day." I gasp and he smiles. "I can't keep holding you at arm's length. I want all of you. Forever. You
‘
re the good in my soul and I won't let you walk away again. If you run, I'll chase you. You understand me?
”

The sad tears are now completely gone and the happy ones are running down my face. "Yeah, I understand.
”

For the first time in my life, I feel like I am where I belong. Pulling Gunner closer to me, I yawn and rest my face in the crook of his neck. After the week we've had, I can feel my body finally hit the point of exhaustion. He kisses my shoulder as I close my eyes.

Chapter Thirty-Seven

The buzzing of a phone wakes me up. I feel Gunner move, but he doesn't wake up. Groaning, I pull the pillow over my face. When it finally stops, I cuddle back up to Gunner and close my eyes. I can feel his erection against my thigh and I can't help but run my fingers along the tip. His dick jumps and I want nothing more than to put my lips around it. Going to bed naked is definitely helpful in getting what I want in the morning.

It feels like so long since we
’
ve had sex and I want him right now. I slide down the bed and pull the covers over my head. I stroke his cock a few times before lowering my mouth to its velvety head. I swirl my tongue around the tip, then run it down the length until I come to his sack. Licking my way back up, I feel him getting harder. When I get back to the tip, I wrap my lips around its bulbous head. His fingers wrap themselves into my hair and I hear him moan my name.

Wrapping one hand around the base of his cock, I slowly start to stroke him in time with my mouth. I add a bit of pressure to his balls and I hear his breathing getting deeper. "Fuck, beauty,
”
he groans out. I moan around his cock as he begins to lift his hips to shove his cock deeper into my mouth. I moan around him and he curses again. His fist grips my hair harder and he pulls me off of his cock. "I'm not coming in your mouth. I need to feel your warm pussy.
”
I grin and crawl my way up his body, licking and sucking as I go.

His moans turn me on more than I already am. Straddling his waist, I line his cock up and slowly sink down onto it. "Oh fuck, Gun,
”
I moan. I slowly lift up and slam back down again. His hands go to my hips and he slowly moves me up and down his dick, thrusting his hips up. I can feel my orgasm coming fast, but he slows his movements even more and pulls out. I whimper and he just laughs. I pout and give him my best sad face. "Gunner
…
,
”
I whine.

Flipping me around, he urges me onto my hands and knees. I love when he fucks me from behind. He smacks my ass and thrusts into my aching pussy. We both groan and he continues to thrust into me. His hands slide up my sides and head straight for my tits. He pinches my nipple and I cry out in pleasure.

“
Fuck, beauty,
”
he groans and kneads my breast. His other hand grips my throat, applying slight pressure.

“
Oh, god,
”
I moan. He continues thrusting into my pussy with such force that the bed slams against the wall. His lips trail down my neck and when he bites down, it sends me over the edge.

Screaming out his name, I come hard. My walls clench his dick and he moans out my name. Thrusting roughly into my swollen sex, he comes with a roar. Holy crap!

After we catch our breath, Gunner says,
“
Beauty, I know I won
’
t always be the easiest to get along with, but you
’
re all I want. I want you in my bed every night, and I want you on the back of my bike every day. Now and always.
”
He kisses my neck, then down my back.

“
Mmm,
”
I moan.
“
Gunner, you
’
ve never had a girl on the back of your bike.
”

Pulling out of me, he flips me over, then flashes me a sexy smile. I can
’
t help but fall for him even more.
“
Beauty, you will be the only girl to ever ride on the back of my bike. You
’
re my girl and I love you.
”

I gasp and stare at him in shock.
“
Alec
…
,
”
I whisper. I never thought I would hear those words come out of his mouth.

“
Baby, it
’
s true. I love you, Casey.
”

I wrap my legs around him and I pull him to me.
“
Alec Foster, I love you so much. I need you more than my next breath.
”

We spend the rest of the day tangled up in the sheets, worshipping each other
’
s bodies.

Epilogue

The last few months with beauty by my side has been the best time of my life. We are driving back to Vegas today to see my mom and the rest of the family. Casey is ecstatic to see everyone, and I want her to be able to put the past behind her. I can tell that whatever happened the last time she saw her mom is still eating away at her, so I plan on getting her to talk to her mother one more time. I just hope her parents can finally accept her.

This girl has become my whole world and I only want her to be happy. The ride back to Vegas is long, but I make sure to stop often and we definitely have plenty of fun along the way. Who knew my girl was such an exhibitionist. We have sex anywhere and everywhere.

When we arrive at our first destination, I can see the frown form on her beautiful face. Her eyebrows scrunch up and she shakes her head.
“
No, Gunner. I can
’
t be here. Let
’
s just go see your mom. Please.
”
She looks at me with her pale blue eyes and I almost give in.

“
No, beauty. We need to see them. I want you to be happy and I think the only way to achieve that is by dealing with this. I am right here for you and I will never leave your side. It
’
s me and you against the world.
”

Her lips show the slightest hint of a smile at my last statement. I know I got her when she grabs my hand and pulls me with her. Kissing her head, I lead her to the front door.

She rings the doorbell and waits. When a beautiful, older version of Casey opens the door, I can see the shock and disgust on her face before she disguises it with surprise.

“
Casey! What are you doing here? Who is this?
”
Her lip curls up in disgust as she looks me over. Luckily, I couldn
’
t care less what this bitch thinks of me. There are only two opinions I care about
…
Casey
’
s and my mom
’
s.

I extend my hand and speak first. She refuses to shake my hand, which is fine by me.
“
Hi, ma
’
am. I
’
m Gunner. I
’
m Casey
’
s old man. I just wanted to come by and introduce myself.
”
I watch her face pale and Casey grips my hand even harder.

“
Mom, Gunner is my boyfriend,
”
she says softly. I watch my girl
’
s face. I can see she knows her mom will never accept us, but part of her expression makes me think she
’
s okay with that.

I get ready to say something, but Casey starts to speak again.
“
I know you don
’
t agree with who I
’
ve chosen, but that choice has nothing to do with you. I love Gunner and I know he loves me. Your opinion of us doesn
’
t matter to me anymore. I
’
ve never been the child you wanted, and I was always letting you down. But you know what? I
’
m okay with that. For the first time in my life, I
’
m completely happy. Gunner makes me happier than anyone I
’
ve ever met and if you don
’
t approve, I don
’
t give a fuck.
”
Her mom
’
s mouth drops open and she stares in the direction in which her daughter has just stormed off.

Her mother turns to me and sneers,
“
You turned my daughter into trash. No one will ever look at her the same way now that she
’
s mixed up with the likes of you.
”

I
’
ve never wanted to hit a woman as much as I do now.
“
Lucky for you, bitch, I couldn
’
t care less about you and your snobby fucking friends. If anything, you should fucking care that you
’
re hurting your daughter. All she wants from you is to be accepted for who she is, but you can
’
t even do that. You don
’
t even deserve to call her your daughter. That girl has ten times more class than you will ever have.
”

I turn and walk down the steps to where Casey is standing at my bike. Grabbing her face, I kiss her roughly and tangle my fingers into her hair.
“
Fuck them, beauty. I love you and that
’
s all that matters.
”

Her face breaks into a huge smile and she says,
“
Love you, too, baby! Let
’
s go see our family, then go home.
”
