Breaking Kate: The Acceptance Series (32 page)

“No pouting allowed, sweetheart, lay down.” Kate scoots up on the bed and I take off her boots. Damn, her ass looks good in these jeans. I flip her on her stomach and grip onto her ass cheeks as I slide them off of her. I groan loudly—she’s wearing a sexy black lace pair of boy shorts that match her bra perfectly. I slap her ass once and she releases a light moan. I rub soft circles where I just slapped her and then slap her again in a different spot. She lets out a louder cry and my dick gets so hard it hurts. A little more rubbing and one more slap, this one a little harder.

“Oh god, Daniel, fuck yeah.”

I slide up her backside, massaging her back as I go. Pushing her hair to the side, I trail kisses from her neck to her ear.

“Baby, do you like that?”

“Mmmhhhhmmm.”

Pushing her panties to the side, I slide my fingers into her—she’s so fucking wet. I start a steady rhythm as I nibble on her ear. “I’ve got big plans for you; we’re going to explore some more spanking,
maybe get a flogger.” I can feel her getting wetter the more I whisper to her. “Can I tie you up, Kate? Will you let me blindfold you? Do you trust me?” I slide her wetness up to her clit and rub small circles around it as I tease her with kisses along her spine. You’re awfully quiet, baby, say something.”

“I trust you. I want all of that—tying me up, spanking me, and exploring our sexual fantasies together would be so hot.”
Fuck yeah
. I remove her panties, pull her up on her knees, and take her from behind. This is going to be quick. I need it hard and fast, and I can tell she does, too. Wrapping my hand around the front of her, I rub her clit in slow circles as I slam into her from behind.

“I’m going to come already...fuck… come with me, I need you now.”

“I’m right here, baby, just let go.” She comes instantaneously, hard and fast, screaming my name over and over again. I love knowing I can make her lose control like that.  I collapse on top of her and roll us both on our sides, facing each other.

“Hi.”

I answer her with a slow, sweet kiss. “Hi yourself, have I told you today how much I love you?” A blush slowly creeps up her face.

“
Ummm, maybe, but I always love to hear it. I love you, too, even if you’re going to make us late to Maryanne’s. Actually, we aren’t too far away, maybe twenty minutes or so. I didn’t realize how close you lived to us. Just think, growing up, going to neighboring schools and we never met or had any mutual friends in common. How strange.”

“Maybe not so strange; you guys were pretty sheltered, right? Going to private schools and such you probably didn’t do much with public school kids or their parties.”

“Yeah, you’re right. Unfortunately, I really wasn’t into the party scene; that was Jess. She would drag me along for company, but always ended up ditching me when she found some random guy to flirt with. I also had a lot of charity events and dinner parties to attend with my dad. I learned early on how to do great phony party etiquette. It’s easy to get along with anyone once you slip into the mindset of just not giving a fuck and biding your time until it’s over. Sometimes, I would get so lost in thought I would barely even remember talking to anyone and would find myself surprised when the night was over. Jess really hated those nights; she always thought she was losing me to some deep psychological illness. She says it isn’t normal for people to be able to suck themselves deep down into their inner psyche like I can.”

I can’t help but laugh. “Jess is a little over the top about things sometimes; I’m beginning to see that more and more. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with disassociating yourself for a while so you don’t have to deal with a boring situation. I wish we could disassociate from the world this weekend and just stay here. As much as it kills me, we have to get up and head out if we’re going to make it to Connor’s for dinner tonight. Be forewarned, I think I heard about an after dinner karaoke battle. It’s always boys against girls; with you and Jess there I know we’re going to lose.”

She looks up at me with an intrigued look on her face. “Do you guys ever actually
win
? I mean, I’ve heard Connor sing and he’s a little… off key?” I chuckle and help her up so we can get cleaned up and ready to go.

“We often use the swoon factor to our advantage. Mike and Jake are the best out of the guys. April, God love her, is worse than Connor; hopefully, her kids will get their singing abilities from Jake. Our moms are tone deaf so there’s no luck there. I think tonight we’re going to be a little unevenly balanced since you and Jess sing like angels.”

Before she replies, my cell phone rings at the exact same time her does. It has to be Connor and Jess. I grab my phone. “What’s up and why are you calling both phones?”

“I’m not calling both phones. I called you and Jess is calling Kate.”

“Well, tell Jess that Kate is indisposed and isn’t going to pick up right now.” Kate’s stifling a laugh, her eyes glimmering bright green.

“Yeah, we figured you were
both
indisposed which is why we called at the same time. Look, we just wanted to give you a head’s up not to come to Maryanne’s. Her boyfriend just surprised her with a trip to Maui for her birthday and they’re already gone. She said to tell Kate to hold on to the gift and they’ll do a girls’ weekend when she gets back. We’ll just see you out at my parents’ house when you get there.”

“Okay, man, sounds good. We’ll see you there.”

I repeat the conversation to Kate who screams and stomps her feet excitedly. “I bet he’s going to propose to her while they’re gone. Oh my god! She can
finally
get married and have the family she has always wanted and I can be an auntie!”

“You want to be an auntie, huh?”

She looks at me shyly. “Yeah, I really do. I’m definitely not ready for my own kids, but being an auntie would be great—I can babysit, spoil them rotten, and then give them back. Someday, kids will
definitely
be a part of our lives; I want at least three of them.”

I love the way she says
our
lives. Three kids sounds pretty good to me, but if she wanted to just have one or twelve I probably wouldn’t disagree with her; I just want to see her happy.

“Three is a good number. Since we have some time, why don’t we shower and practice so that when we’re ready to try we’ll have the technique down pat. Maybe I can give you triplets on the first try and you’ll only have to go through one labor.” Kate looks horrified and I wink at her.

“That sounds good, but if you ever curse me with even a
tease
of a triplet pregnancy you won’t be able to walk for a week. I will personally castrate you, capiche?” 

“I guess I’ll just have to try for twins.” I laugh all the way to the shower as she throws pillows at me.

After we’re showered and dressed again, I show Kate around. “Sorry, it’s kind of a disaster. It usually looks more together, and there were actually pictures on the wall, but I needed to repaint and this seemed as good of time as any to do it before an extended stay with Connor.” I watch her take in the layout of the house, walking through the kitchen and back into the living area. It’s not a big house—just two bedrooms and two bathrooms—but you can’t beat the location.

“Can we go outside? I would love to see your view and the deck.”

I nod my head, grab her hand, and pop my iPod into the dock. I have a really nice speaker system that runs inside and out. It’s my favorite part of the house besides the location. Once we step out onto the deck, Kate takes a deep breath, inhaling the ocean air.
Kiss Me
by Ed Sheeran is on—it’s perfect; there’s no other song that reminds me as much of Kate as this one does.

“Dance with me, gumdrop.”

“Anytime.”

I pull her close to me and wrap my arms around her. When I’m with her, my whole world comes into focus. I’m a much better man with her than I could ever be without her. These past few weeks have been the best of my life and I wouldn’t trade them for anything in the world. I’m all in; Kate owns my heart and soul. I’m so in love with her and would be lost if she ever left me.

“I love you, Daniel. I love being here with you in your home and I love the things Ed Sheeran’s voice can do to my body. I’ve got a playlist with all his music; he’s amazing.” 

“As long as it’s just his voice affecting your body, I’ll let it slide. I
do
have to agree that the man has pipes. I’m glad you like it here. Maybe when you’re done with school you might want to stay the summer with me?”

I feel very shy all of a sudden. That wasn’t exactly a planned question, but I would love for her to stay with me.

“Hmmm, a summer in a gorgeous beach house with my sexy, extra fuckable boyfriend. How could I resist? Besides, I don’t think I like you living on the beach where all the hot girls can just walk up to your deck and flirt with you while you’re barbecuing and hanging out with the guys.”

My heart just dove to the pit of my stomach. I know she’s joking, but that really happens—a lot, actually. She needs to know that would never affect us.

“Kate I. LOVE. YOU. If you haven’t noticed yet, I only have eyes for you. I’m not the kind of guy that ogles other girls when I have one of my own. Yes, I’ll notice if someone is attractive or not; I’m only human. We’re not the kind of guys who cheat. Meeting a girl that has a complete disregard for your relationship status is the biggest turn off there is. A real woman backs off immediately. Those are the kind of women I would date if I wasn’t already with the girl of my dreams. Remember, Kate, you own me—my heart is yours, my ring is on your finger, and your watch is on my wrist, always. My ring on your finger is the sexiest damn thing I have ever seen, a wedding band on your finger is going to set me on fire. What you should really be worried about are the guys I’ll be setting straight when they walk by and see you out on my deck. I have no problem letting them know you’re mine. If you feel the need to tell a few girls to back off I’m cool with that, too. It’s kind of hot thinking about how you might want to protect what’s yours.” She busts up laughing, her eyes shining with unshed tears, and I can’t help but laugh with her.

“Are you ready to go now?”

“Yeah, let’s get going. I can’t wait to meet everyone.”

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

Stubborn-ass woman.
I understand her reasons, but I hate taking two cars; it’s less time I get to spend with her. I made her agree to talk to me the whole way there. She points out that it’s only a forty-five minute drive, but I insist.  I’m being an ass and I know it, so I try and calm down.

“Daniel, don’t be mad. You know this isn’t about you, it’s about respect.”

“I know. I just want to be a part of this with you. You’ve carried it by yourself for a long time and it would truly be an honor to be able to pay my respects to your daughter; it’s important to me.”

That’s the reason we’re taking two cars—she wants to see Lila Hope on her way home on Sunday and she threw in some stuff about maybe me needing to be around for family stuff. I know the main reason is because she feels it would be unfair for me to meet her daughter before her ex even knows about her. I agree that it’s wrong for me to go first, but it doesn’t make me happy to know that he will grieve with her and I won’t be there. What if they reconcile over their mutual loss? “So, are we okay?” She sounds so sad and just ten minutes ago we were happy as can be.
I’m such an ass.

“Of course, sweetheart.
I don’t want to ever make you do something uncomfortable, but I hope he gets his sorry head out of his ass soon so we can move past all of this.”

“Me, too, but you know this is just the beginning, right? I’m going to talk to him, and if I have my way we will be friends again. It’s more than that now; he’s going to be my step brother. He’s always going to be in my life. You and I both have to come to terms with that and agree not to ever let it come between us. I love us and I’m not giving that up for Michael or anyone.”

“I agree, we’ll deal with it when the time comes. I don’t plan on letting anyone ever come between me and my gumdrop.” With those words the fight is over.

“Okay, things you should know about Connor’s family. Their house is ginormous. This isn’t the house Connor grew up in; his parents moved after high school. Linda and Bryan are two of the nicest people you’ll ever meet. They’re high school sweethearts and love their kids immensely. The house is fancy because of Bryan’s business, but they aren’t one bit pretentious. They’re excited to meet you and Jess, so expect a lot of attention and a
lot
of pictures. They take pictures of everything. The four of us will be staying in the guest house tonight; Mike will join us there tomorrow. There’s more than enough space, it’s bigger than my house. April, Jake, and her family are staying in the main house with the parents for the weekend. Tomorrow, the guys will all get ready in the main house and the girls in the guest house. Linda loves the element of surprise when men see their women for the first time. Trust me, there will be cameras flashing like you just got hit by a flash mob of paparazzi. Any questions?”

“No, I think I’ve got it. Tomorrow we’re going to the spa with April, so I won’t see you until the party.”

“Nope. After breakfast and up until the party you’re with the girls. Once the party starts you won’t be leaving my side. I want everyone to know that the second prettiest girl is there with me.” I hear her giggle.
