Holding You (10 page)

As the two cars pulled off and headed to the Marriott Hotel, Lauren and I waved and watched until both cars turned and were gone.

Lauren grabbed my hand and dragged me back inside the house. The second the door closed, she jumped into my arms and pushed her lips against mine. Moaning as she pulled and sucked on my lower lip. “I never . . . thought they would . . . leave.” She panted between kisses.

Walking over to the sofa, I dropped her onto it and crawled on top of her. Pushing my hard dick between her legs, we both moaned. Arching her back and giving me a sexy grin, Lauren pulled my shirt over my head.

Once my shirt was off, I reached down and pulled her shorts off of her body. Our kisses were frantic, as if we would never kiss each other again. I needed more of her; I needed to taste her. Feel her sweetness drip around my fingers. Nothing else mattered at this moment but being with Lauren.

“Colt, oh God. I’m so turned on. I don’t want sweet and romantic. I want more.”

Holy shit. My dick was so hard it hurt. “Lauren, baby, I don’t want to hurt you.”

Lauren pushed her hands up and played with her breasts. “Colt, please don’t make me beg. I want to feel that you’ve been inside of me. Please!”

Jesus, just seeing her touch herself almost had me losing it in my pants. “Lauren, I need to go get a condom. They’re up in my room.”

Lauren’s eyes turned dark and the electricity that flowed between us had me holding my breath. “Take me in the shower, Colt. Hard.”

My eyes rolled to the back of my head as I whispered, “I’ve died and gone to heaven.”

Standing up, I reached down and picked up Lauren. She was light as a feather. Turning, I had never run up stairs so fast in my life. Lauren laughed and held on tight as she yelled, “Don’t drop me, Colt!”

Pushing open the door to my room, I walked in and dropped Lauren onto the bed. Crawling on top of her, our hands were everywhere. The sense of urgency to touch each other was overwhelming. Making love earlier had been amazing. But this . . . this was beyond anything I’d ever experienced. The absolute need to have her near me was out of control. The rest of our clothes were stripped off until there was nothing but the feel of skin on skin. Our teeth crashed together as we kissed each other senseless. Whimpers and moans filled the air as I slipped my fingers inside her. She was soaking wet and her sweetness coated my fingers, pulling out a deep growl from the back of my throat.

“Lauren, you’re so wet, baby.”

Her chest heaved up and down as the look in her eyes intensified. “I want you, Colt. Please don’t make me wait any longer.”

Lifting off of her, I reached into the drawer of the side table and grabbed a condom. Ripping it open, I slipped it over my dick. It was pulsing with need as I looked back at Lauren’s glistening wet pussy. I’d never wanted anything so much in my life.

“Lauren, promise me if I hurt you, you’ll tell me.” Nodding her head, she wet her lips in anticipation. “Baby, I just want to fuck you.”

Closing her eyes, she said, “Yes! Colt, yes!”

Moving over her, I teased her entrance with my tip as Lauren placed her hands on my shoulders. “Now, Colt. I’m so ready.”

In one swift move, I pushed into Lauren. She called out my name and I tried like hell to control the animal in me. Each thrust went deeper as she dug her nails in my back.

Fighting to keep my orgasm at bay, I continued to push in deeper . . . trying to find her sweet spot. The sight of her body reacting to the coming orgasm was fueling me on.

Just as the orgasm hit her, she gripped my dick and I about poured myself into the condom. Lifting her limp, sedated body, I carried her into the shower. Wrapping her arms around me, she buried her face against my neck.

“Are you okay, baby; do you want to keep going?” I asked as I stepped into my bathroom.

“Yes . . . please don’t stop, Colt.”

The smell of our sweat and sex filled the air. It was a scent I wanted to smell every single day for the rest of my life. Never letting her out of my arms, I reached into the shower and turned it over to hot. Giving it a few seconds to heat up, I stepped into the shower and slowly let Lauren slide down my body. “Mmm . . . feels so good. Watching her head drop back, the hot water soaked her hair as it fell past her shoulders. Running my fingers through her hair, I grabbed a handful.

“I’m not done with you, Lauren.”

Her eyes snapped open, and I was overcome by the seductive look she gave me. “Good,” she whispered.

Lifting her up, I pushed her against the shower wall and pushed my dick back into her.

The feel of my dick slipping in and out of her combined with the hot water falling on us was heavenly. “Don’t stop, Colt. So . . . close.”

It wasn’t long before Lauren began screaming out my name as I came hard right along with her. Still holding her in my arms, Lauren and I sank to the floor of the shower as we fought to pull air into our lungs.

“That. Was. So. Hot,” Lauren said between breaths.

I nodded and whispered, “Very hot. So fucking hot.” My heart dropped when I looked into Lauren’s eyes. They were beckoning for me to be lost in them.

“Lauren, never in my wildest dreams did I think my heart could be so in love with one person. I’m captivated by everything about you. Your soft lips, I long to kiss. Your blue eyes, I find myself getting lost in every time I look into them. Your touch sends an instant bolt of electricity to my heart. But I think what I love the most is your heart. It is so pure and full of life.” Closing my eyes, I whispered, “I pray to God it belongs to me.”

Lifting her hand and placing it on the side of my face, I leaned into it as I opened my eyes. “My heart is filled with love for you, Colt. Only you.”

Slowly standing, I lifted Lauren up as we stood under the steaming hot water. Moving my lips to hers, I gently kissed her as I held her face within my hands. Pouring my love into her, I kissed her with every raw emotion I had. Life stopped in that moment as Lauren and I were lost in that kiss.

Brushing my lips gently across Lauren’s, I smiled as I was overcome by the love I had for her. Smiling in return, Lauren giggled. “Think of all the showers we missed out on.”

Chuckling, I pulled her to me. “Sweetheart, I’m never going to be able to take a shower alone again. You know this, right?”

Lauren’s face softened as she gazed lazily into my eyes. “I love that you call me, sweetheart. It makes me feel . . . special to you.”

My heart dropped into my stomach as Lauren’s words filled my mind. Reaching over, I shut off the water. Walking Lauren out of the shower I took in her perfect body. Grabbing a towel, I slowly dried her body off. Starting from her feet up to her hair. Lauren looked completely relaxed as she dropped her head back and let out a contented sigh. Quickly drying myself off, I wrapped the towel around my waist and picked Lauren up. Carrying her back into the room, I pulled the covers back and gently placed her down. Lauren in my bed did crazy things to my heart. She stretched and my stomach did that thing where it flutters at the sight of her.

Covering her up, I kissed her forehead and spoke in a hushed tone. “Sleep, my beautiful princess.”

“Hmm, Colt.”

Lauren quickly drifted off to sleep. Knowing my name was the last thing to be whispered from her lips was amazing. The last twenty-four hours had been amazing.

Taking a few steps back, I sat in the chair that was in my room. Watching Lauren sleep so peacefully in my bed, I knew things in my life would never be the same. Nothing else on Earth mattered except for her.

She was my life. My dreams. My entire world.

REACHING UP WITH
my hand, I rubbed my nose.

Tickles.

Something kept tickling me. Not wanting to move, I swept my hand under my nose again.

Stretching, I let out a soft moan as I felt every single muscle in my body. Smiling at the knowledge of why I was so sore, I slowly opened my eyes. Expecting to see Colt, I was met by something far less pleasurable.

Grace and Alex.

Closing my eyes tightly, in hopes to erase them and make Colt appear, I slowly opened one eye and then the other.

Nope. Still Grace and Alex.
“What are you two freaks doing in my room?”

Alex attempted to hide her smile as Grace lost it laughing.

“Bitch, please. You are nowhere near your room. Your ass is laying naked in Colt’s bed.”

Sitting up quickly, I pulled the covers with me and looked around. The memory of yesterday flooded my mind as I smiled. Turning back to Alex and Grace, I couldn’t help but bite down on my lip and smile bigger.

Grace gaped her mouth open. “Oh. My. God. The cherry has been popped, and by the look of things, I’d say Mr. Mathews did a good job of it.”

Alex smacked Grace. “Eww. Really? I didn’t need the visual thank you very much.”

Covering my mouth, I attempted to hide my laughter. Alex and Grace both looked at me with beseeching eyes. Finally, Alex said, “So. Tell us everything that happened. I’m dying to hear about how y’all went from hating each other to Colt walking downstairs with the biggest smile on his face I’d ever seen.”

Grace interrupted Alex with, “And you laying up in Colt’s bed naked! Looking rather well-fucked, I might add.”

“Grace!” Alex and I said at once.

Grace looked at Alex and then me with a smug look on her face. “What? Tell me she doesn’t look . . . satisfied!”

Feeling my cheeks burn, I reached over and pushed Grace. “Shut up, you bitch!”

Alex laughed and handed me her robe. “Get up, I’m dying to talk girl talk. We’ll be downstairs.”

Both Alex and Grace gave me a warm smile that said they both knew how I was feeling. I was so blessed to have my friends in my life. Before they walked out the door, I called out. “Wait. Where is Colt?”

Alex looked over her shoulder. “He went for a run with Will. I overheard him telling Will he needed to get out of the house because all he wanted to do was wake you up, but he knew you were . . . tired.”

Grace made some weird growl sound and wiggled her eyebrows. Rolling my eyes, I looked away. Once they shut the door, I climbed out of Colt’s bed. Each movement reminded me of yesterday. I was sore, but deliciously sore. Walking into Colt’s bathroom, his smell surrounded me. Seeing one of his shirts, I reached for it and brought it up to my nose and inhaled deeply.

Mmm, how I loved the smell of Colt. Who was I kidding? I loved everything about Colt. He had cut his dark wavy brown hair short, and I loved running my hands over it. It felt so soft. His sky-blue eyes that sparkled when he looked at me. His body . . . oh my, his body. Smiling, I closed my eyes and pictured Colt naked.

Dear God. I craved his body like nothing I’d ever experienced before. He was like the stick to my corn dog. Sliding my hand down between my legs, I gasped at how sore I really was.

Shaking my head to clear it, I set Colt’s shirt back down. Realizing I didn’t have anything to brush my teeth with, I headed out of Colt’s room and into mine. After brushing my teeth and washing my face, I changed into some yoga pants. Wanting more of Colt, I skipped back into his room and began going through his drawers, looking for a T-shirt to wear. My eye caught something tucked under his shirts. Reaching for it, I sucked in a breath of air as I stared at the picture. I couldn’t believe what I was looking at. My heart hammered in my chest as tears formed in my eyes. My hands shook gently as I attempted to wipe the tears from my eyes. Colt had a picture of me in his drawer. It was taken probably about three years ago when we were all playing football. I was standing with the football in my hand with it lifted above my head. Closing my eyes, I let the memory from that day engulf me.

TURNING AROUND, I
waited for the signal from Colt. He gave it to me and I quickly cut back across the makeshift field. Colt threw the ball and I jumped. Catching it, I screamed with delight, only to see Luke and Alex running toward me. Spinning around, I took off for the goal line. Crossing over it, I began jumping as I held the ball up.

“We won! Holy sheets! I scored the winning touchdown!” Grace, Maegan and Taylor came running over as they tackled me to the ground. After they each congratulated me, I looked up. The sun was somewhat blinding, but I knew the person standing over me was Colt. Reaching down, he helped me up. His smile caused my stomach to flop around like a fish out of water. Reaching up with his hand, he brushed something off of my face. “I’ll never forget that smile, Lauren. You sure were happy when you made that touchdown.”
