Moth to a Flame (18 page)

She suddenly became very sullen and her eyes glistened. “I bet you miss her so much.”

Oh, my sweet, sweet Lia.
“Yeah, I do. She was my best friend, my only real friend.”

She reached over and touched my face, intently watching my expression. When she licked her lips, my eyes darted to them, making it impossible to look away. I leaned forward and pulled her bottom lip between my teeth, causing her to gasp. Sucking on her lip, I threaded my fingers through her chocolate brown locks.

Quickly, she wrenched away from me. “I went to that college until the incident that changed my life.” Her voice was sober with her proclamation.

When she began to tear up, I placed a thumb over her lips. “Shh. Everything’s okay, Lia. I’m proud of you for opening up to me about something, even as small as where you went to school.” Honestly, I felt like it was a huge step forward in our relationship.

I leaned forward and met her lips in another moment of passion, showing her with my tongue just how proud of her I was. Gently, I pulled her top off over her head. She smiled as she reached over and started unbuttoning my shirt. Once finished with that task, she slid the shirt over my shoulders, jerking it off all of the way.

I slowly eased her to the blanket. Her body shivered in the chilly October air. I covered her with my own body and began placing kisses all over her torso, focusing on her breasts. Lazily, I pushed a bra strap off her shoulder and kissed her there. My dick thickened when she moaned at the intimate touch. Seeing that she liked it, I did the same to the other side, garnering a similar reaction for the both of us. Slipping my hand up underneath her, I single-handedly unhooked her bra and slid it off her.

Leaning over her, I began tonguing her breasts with slow, purposeful movements. She writhed beneath me, enjoying the touch. I blew a hot breath of air on her chilled skin before sucking a nipple into my mouth and bit just hard enough for her to yelp in surprise but definitely not pain. I kissed her lower and lower each time until I made it to her belly button. I pushed my tongue inside and teased the flesh until she started to giggle uncontrollably, obviously very ticklish there. Laughing, I sat up and began to unbutton her jeans. I unhooked them quickly and eased them down her legs so that she was in nothing but a scrap of pink panties. God, her body was so fucking beautiful.

Slowly, I removed her last shred of clothing and stuffed them in the pocket of my jeans. She laughed at me until I removed my own jeans. Her smile dissolved into a smoldering look of desire as she eyed my naked body. I pulled the blanket over us for warmth even though we were both hot for each other. Hovering over her, I kissed her deeply, causing her to tilt her pelvis up to me. Her body was begging for me—so needy for me to take her.

Not one to disappoint, I positioned myself at her entrance and slowly slid myself in, making sure she was ready for me. When I easily made it all of the way and she moaned in pleasure, I began the rhythmic pounding we were so good at. With each thrust, her whimpers became louder and louder. The way her tight pussy gripped my cock had me struggling not to burst my climax into her. But as our kisses became harder and more urgent, I knew I wouldn’t have to wait long for her. My girl was getting close to her orgasm. As she neared the edge, her eyes fluttered shut.

“Oh, God, Cale!” she screamed, convulsing around me. Her fingernails clawed at my back as she deliciously tightened around my cock.

At the sound of her screaming my name, I also came, spilling into her hot and furiously. I continued pumping into her until I had emptied all I had to give and her aftershocks had stopped.

“Fuck, woman!” I growled, pulling out of her and pecking her on the lips.

The smile on her face was the most beautiful one yet. Here, under the stars in the chilly October air, I fell one hundred percent for this girl.

THE SMELL OF bacon woke me up. I sat up in a panic, not recognizing my surroundings, but quickly calmed once I remembered that we were at Cale’s dad’s house.

How the hell did we get back here?

I dragged myself out of bed to look for Cale and tried to ignore the jackhammer pounding in my head. Looking over at the nightstand for a clock, I saw that he had left a bottle of water and some ibuprofen. Smiling, I took the pills and made my way to the bathroom. Once I’d cleaned up a bit, I went on a hunt for my clothes. I found everything but my panties.

My cheeks burned at the hazy memory of last night.
Ahh, Cale put them in his pocket.
I pulled my jeans over my bare bottom and set off to find him. When I walked into the kitchen, I found Cale and his dad at the small table in the kitchen. Charlotte was making some pancakes at the stove.

“Good morning, beautiful,” Cale beamed.

“Uh, I’m sorry I slept in,” I apologized to everyone.

Charlotte grinned at me knowingly. “Don’t worry, hun. You haven’t missed breakfast. Have a seat and I’ll bring you a plate.”

I sat between Cale and Steve, filling my glass with orange juice.

“Any big plans on your day off?” Steve asked me.

Crap!
I forgot to text Pops to tell him that I wouldn’t be in today.

Cale noticed my panicked look and smiled. “No worries. I called Ben this morning and told him you were under the weather.”

I breathed a sigh of relief. “I’m sure Cale and I will figure something out,” I finally answered Steve.

Charlotte breezed over and set a plate down in front of me.

“Thank you, Charlotte. You guys have been very hospitable.”

“Steve and I have really enjoyed your visit. I hope we can do this again soon,” she babbled happily.

After breakfast, Cale and I cleaned up the kitchen so Steve and Charlotte could finish getting ready for work. At a quarter to eight, they came back into the kitchen to say their goodbyes. I hugged Charlotte and Steve, promising that we’d visit again soon. Cale and his dad shook hands but eventually pulled in for a hug. The joy on Cale’s face was evident. His dad pushed a photo album into his hands and whispered something to him.

Not long after they left, we locked up and headed toward home. The drive home was quiet and content. I was curled up in the seat against Cale with my head on his shoulder. While he was singing along to “Demons” by Imagine Dragons, I was lost in thoughts about us.

Cale made me so happy. My life seemed almost perfect and normal with him in it. He was funny, hot, and protective. The man made love like a god. At this point, I couldn’t image life without him. Before him, I’d floated through a drab life that was dull, incomplete, and, at times, terrifying. From the moment I maced him, it’d been nothing but colorful and full. He was all I would ever need.

I must have fallen asleep on the way home because I awoke to him carrying me into his house. “Thank you for taking me to see your dad. It was really nice. I was also glad you took me to where you and Madison shared good times. This trip really made me feel more connected to you.”

He smiled as he sat me down. “Thank you for being a rock for me. The idea of seeing my dad again was really unnerving. But with you by my side, I felt it didn’t matter how it turned out as long as you were there with me.”

Wanting to take a shower, I walked toward the bathroom, stripping off my shirt and bra along the way. He followed behind me with a groan and had his shirt yanked off by the time we made it inside.

“Your body is so fucking addictive,” he growled as he turned on the water and then turned back to face me.

I smiled as he looked over my upper naked body appreciatively. He unfastened his jeans and let them drop around his ankles. His more than adequate length bobbed heavily. I winked saucily and turned my back to him, slowly unbuttoning my jeans and pushing them down my legs. Just to punish him, I made sure to bend over right in front of him to give him a nice view of my bare ass since he stole my panties.

I expected him to laugh, but instead, he groaned and stepped behind me, roughly putting his hands on my hips. He began sliding his hands up and down my sides, causing me to shiver. Seemingly reluctantly, he wrenched away from me and stepped into the hot shower, I playfully slapped his bottom as I followed. Inside, we lazily bathed one another, enjoying the touching.

When the water began to turn cool, he shut it off and we got out, wrapping towels around us. Then he guided me into his bedroom. “Lia, God, you are so damn beautiful.” He was staring into my eyes like he always did. I loved the way he always seemed to stare into me rather than just at me.

“You’re pretty easy on the eyes as well, hot stuff,” I teased.

He smiled, clutching my ass and teasingly yanking me to him. “I’m going to make love to you in a bed finally,” he declared, causing my lower region to throb in anticipation.

I grinned, thinking that, for as many times as we’d had sex, we still hadn’t done it in a real bed. He pulled my towel away and his intense gaze teased over my body. Wanting to give him a show, I grabbed my breast and started to caress it, moaning for effect.

He groaned and wrapped his arm around me to pull me in for a deep kiss. The kiss became more frantic as we made our way to the bed. I gasped when he fell to the bed with me in his arms which only served to break up our kissing for a moment. As soon as we were comfortably on the bed, our tongues resumed their ravaging assaults on one another. Every time he would suck my bottom lip into his mouth between his teeth, my pussy would get wetter and wetter. When his hand finally traveled south, he easily slid two fingers into my eager and ready body. I began panting raggedly as he worked me into a frenzied state. When I finally wailed in ecstasy, he pulled them out and sucked my juices from them. God he was the hottest man I’d ever laid eyes on.

I was still breathing heavily from the aftershocks of my orgasm when he slowly dragged the tip of his hardness along my slippery slit. Gasping at the sensation, I begged him, “Please, Cale. I need you inside me right now.”

Without further begging needed, he rammed his cock deep inside, eliciting a scream of delight from me. He pumped into me hard and fast until I felt another orgasm building. Stars crossed my vision as my climax sent me over the edge and I felt his hot explosion inside me.
Someone, please give this man a cookie.

After we were both spent from our quick lovemaking, he slipped out and positioned himself next to me. He pecked me on the forehead and hugged me close to him. Within minutes, we were both asleep.
