Wicked Bad Boys (37 page)

They walked out of the bathroom and through the bedroom to have a seat on the couch.

“Let me see if there’s an ice pack,” Tara said as she got up to check the fridge. She dug around in the freezer and there it was, in the back behind three trays of ice. She took it to Kevin and gently placed it on his nose.

Just looking at him icing his nose brought the altercation with Jake flooding back. She shook her head in disbelief.

“I can’t believe this happened. I feel like it’s all my fault.”

He dropped the ice pack in his hand and stared at her. “None of this is your fault. Unless being irresistible to the Crawford brothers makes it your fault.”

She blushed. “So, the argument wasn’t about me?”

“Don’t worry about it,” he answered. “I handled it. Sure, I wasn’t expecting a bloody nose, but I wouldn’t change anything that happened.”

“Are you sure?” she asked.

He nodded. “I mean every word.” He ran his finger under her chin and she smiled. “There’s that smile I have been missing. Everything will work out. You’ll see.”

He put the ice pack on his nose and smiled at her. Kevin seemed so positive about everything and she wanted to be just as strong. She leaned against him and let him wrap his free arm around her. Her head fell on his shoulder and she closed her eyes. She wasn’t planning on dozing off, but sleep came quickly.

…honey…are you awake?” Kevin tried to pull his arm out from underneath her but she looked so peaceful. Now, almost an hour later, his arm was asleep and she showed no signs of moving.

“Tara…” he called to her again. He dropped the ice pack and used his other hand to gently rub her shoulder.

“Are you awake?” he asked gently.

Slowly, she woke up. She moaned, stretching herself out and then opening up one eye. She looked at him.

“Good morning.”

He laughed. “Guess again. It’s not time to get up yet.”

“Oh…” she said, still half asleep.

As she rolled toward him, he used the opportunity to pull out his sleepy arm and stretch.

Tara looked at his face. “How’s the nose?”

“Still there.” He laughed.

It was a little tender but all in all it was better than he had anticipated.

“I’ll survive. How does it look?”

“There really isn’t any swelling, but I hate to tell you this…I think you just might have a black eye.” She ran her hand over his left eye. “Does that hurt?”

“Nope,” he said.

“How long have we been sleeping?” She asked so innocently he wanted to kiss her again.

“You’ve been sleeping for about an hour. I, on the other hand, have just been watching you.”

Her face turned a shade of red and he smiled. He could have watched her all night. “Was I drooling?” she asked, mortified.

He shook his head and laughed. “No, you weren’t drooling.”

A look of relief fell over her. “We should probably go to bed and try to get some sleep. It has been a long day.”

He nodded. “We could do that, but…” He glanced around the room and his eyes fell to the bedroom door. “We could also take advantage of this place. After all, do we really want to miss out on the advantages of a honeymoon suite?”

Her wide eyes twinkled. “Do you mean it?”

He nodded. “With all my heart.”

She stood up from the couch and immediately began undressing. He laughed as he got up and began removing his clothes too.

“The hot tub or the bed?” she asked.

“Your choice,” he said as she grabbed his hand and pulled him toward one of the rooms. He was enthusiastic. She chose the hot tub.

“Wow, they filled it up for us?” Tara asked.

“Probably. Not sure how they’d keep it hot,” he said. “Maybe a heater.”

They walked to the hot tub steps and slowly stepped into the hot water. He groaned as it made contact with his feet. When he got down on the lowest level he sat down and reached for her hand to help her in. He couldn’t wait to pull her into his arms, and sat her on his lap. Their lips met in a sizzling, wet dance of desire.

She felt his erection beneath her as his teeth delicately nibbled on her lower lip.

“God I need you inside me so bad,” she whispered.

He wasted no time, helping her as she straddled him, and positioning himself to enter her. She grabbed onto his shoulders, shifting her body to be ready. His hands gripped her waist and held on tight as he slid into her opening. On instinct, Tara’s hips moved in sync as his thrusts possessed her. Her body hugged his as she slid up and down, moving along with the waves of the hot tub. Their lips met and kisses intensified while she thrust faster and harder with him. She shivered with anticipation as she felt the primal urge welling up inside.

“Ugh…” she cried as she felt her orgasmic burst, tossing her head back and tearing herself away from his lips.

He pounded inside of her, bucking his hips with hers.

“Yes baby…yes…” he moaned, sucking on her neck, while her body shook around him.

“Oh God…” she whimpered. Her orgasm clashed with his as she sent out another scream in the room.

“Ugh…ugh…fuck yes,” she groaned, her body seizing on top of his.

His lips remained on her neck, tenderly sucking her tender flesh. He wanted to regain the connection they had. He bit down softly. He could hear her breathing and it spawned another round of pleasure within him.

“Oh God yes…” she sighed.

His body slowly rocked against her. He pulled away from her neck and sought out her lips. Their bodies clashed together in time with his thrusts, sending water splashing out the sides of the hot tub. His one hand remained on her hip while the other wrapped tightly around her back and up to her shoulders. His thumb moved in a circular motion, exploring her soft skin. His tongue dipped in and out of her mouth, moving around gracefully, but with hunger. Every thrust and every caress was wrapped in feral messages he couldn’t share with words. It was all he could do to show her how deeply he loved her.

T
ara stroked
the back of Kevin’s hair as he slowly released himself from her.

“Let’s go check out the bed,” she said, raising herself up slowly to get out of the hot tub.

Kevin looked as eager as she was and followed close behind. When they reached the bedroom she felt his arms wrapping around her stomach. His lips went back to her neck and remained there, teasing and tormenting her need. She reached up and back, and wrapped her hand around his neck, inviting him to caress her nipples with his hands as he kissed further down her shoulder.

“Ahhh…” she sighed. Her body relaxed against his, accepting all that he was offering. Tara groaned as his tongue roamed down past her shoulders and along the lines of her body. She felt him turning her around and their lips connected with a strong, needy force. Every touch made her clit throb and ache for him to rejoin her. He gently lowered her to the bed and laid her head on the pillow, never breaking from the desperate kiss.

Kevin hovered his body over her, propping himself up with one arm as the other roamed down between her legs.

“God, Kevin, you turn me on so much,” she mustered between the kiss, letting her hands roamed up and down the sides of his body.

She wrapped her legs around his hips to bring him closer. He took her message and lowered himself on her, spreading the tender folds of her opening so he could rock her world. She bucked her hips back and forth, wanting to take as much of him deep inside as possible. But he was teasing. He pulled out and slid the tip around her opening.

She breathed heavily, craving what he was about to do.

“Please,” she whimpered.

“Not yet,” he whispered, sliding down the bed to his perch between her legs.

His mouth lightly touched the outer lips of her pussy. She groaned louder, bracing herself for his next move. His tongue slithered in her opening and ran up and down her clit.

“Yes…” she moaned, closing her eyes and arching her back up with his sensual touch. He went in deeper, slowly moving his tongue up and down inside her.

“Oh God…” she cried, grabbing his hair and pushing him down. He moved in and out with a vigorous tenacity. She moved her hips harder against him, begging for speed to match his tongue’s intensity.

“Yes…yes…yes…” she cried, rubbing her fingers through his hair.

She came with a force she didn’t expect.

“Ugh…” She crashed back to the bed, panting from the exertion of her hips. She moaned with comfort, still taking in every move he made with his tongue.

She gasped out every breath as his mouth left her pussy and trailed up to tantalize her breasts. His tongue lovingly caressed them, moving first to her left nipple and then her right. She was wet, breathless, and anxious for more. The way he made her body rebound with mounting carnal hunger was mind-blowing. She opened her eyes when she felt his lips freeing themselves from her breasts. He was now hovering above her and staring into her eyes.

“Everything I could ever want is right here,” he said, caressing her neck and slowly lifting her up to meet his lips.

She wrapped her arms around his body and he fell down on top of her. The words continued to play in her mind. Everything she could ever want was right here too. As the words echoed inside of her mind, she felt his rock hard manhood pressed up against her opening. He entered her, moving up and down. She felt his urgency as he fluidly plunged in and out of her. She sighed as noise of the squeaking bed spread through the room. It was only getting better.

J
ake walked back
to where he had left Tara and Kevin. It was two hours later and he was sure they would be gone. He smiled as he found the car still there. It had been so easy to syphon out his gas while they were making out on the blanket. If only they had cared enough, they would have noticed. He was relieved to see they didn’t attempt to get gas and go back to the car. He tried to open the car doors but noticed his brother was smart enough to have locked them.

Jake turned around and got back in his car. He knew Kevin well enough to know he would go to the nearest hotel and stop to rest. Jake hoped he would. He made his way to the hotel and found the nearest parking spot.
Kevin has to pay
, the voiced egged him on, reminding him he was there to claim his woman. Jake got out of the car and went into the hotel.
There’s no way Tara can refuse you if you fight for her
, they said, strengthening Jake’s resolve for what he was about to do. He walked up to the desk where he saw a petite brunette behind the desk. Revealing his most charming smile, he hoped it would work on her.

“Hello, welcome to Paradise Inn. How may I help you?” Her smile was bright and cheery. It was the first thing he noticed.

“Hello,” he answered. “My friend is staying here tonight. He phoned and asked me to stop by. It’s Kevin Crawford. He didn’t give me his room number and when I tried to call him back…it goes straight to voicemail. Will you please let me know what room he’s in?”

She smiled but then looked apologetic. “I’m sorry, but we have a strict policy. We’re not allowed to give customers’ room information out to anybody. I’m so sorry.”

He grew irritated but tried to put in his best effort. “You’re telling me you can’t bend the rules, not even just this once?”

She shook her head. “Nope, sorry. It’s company policy.”

This wasn’t going as planned. Jake was not leaving that hotel without the information he wanted. He didn’t care what he had to do to get it.

K
evin jerked
out of sleep as he heard the sound of sirens. For a moment, he thought he was only dreaming, but then he saw the flashing of the lights shining through the window. He sat up quickly, but gingerly slid out of bed. Tara looked like she was sleeping soundly and he didn’t want to wake her, or give her anything more to worry about. He walked over to the window and held back the curtains. There was an EMS and a few police cars tearing into the parking lot of the hotel.

“What’s going on?” Tara asked as she slowly woke up.

He turned around and stared at her.

“There’s an EMS and some cop cars here. You might want to get dressed.”

He ran into the living room to scoop up their clothes, and returned to hand hers to her. He put on his jeans and looked back up at her.

“I’m going to go out and see what’s going on. Don’t leave the room.”

She nodded, getting dressed as he left the bedroom. He glanced at the clock before he left the hotel room. It was two o’clock. There was activity up and down the hallway. When he saw an officer getting ready to hurry past him, he stopped him.

“Get back inside your room,” the officer ordered.

“What’s going on?” Kevin asked.

“Get back in your room now!” he shouted with urgency.

Kevin slowly retreated back to the room. He closed the door and saw Tara walking out of the bedroom. She was already completely dressed.

“What’s going on?” she asked, looking scared.

He walked over to her and shrugged.

“I don’t know. The officer told me to get back inside.”

He looked back at the door and the sound of running feet kept going up and down the hallway.

“It’s probably not over yet, whatever they’re dealing with. It’s best if we just listen.”

“I’m scared,” she admitted.

He wrapped his arms around her. This was just another thing they had to overcome that evening. He didn’t want to admit he was scared, too.

“We’re fine as long as we stay here. Don’t worry, okay?”

“I’ll try, she admitted.

They walked over to the couch and she stopped to hand him his shirt. All the evidence of his bloody nose was on that shirt. He laughed as he took it from her it. He didn’t need the reminder of his fight with Jake, but it was the only shirt he had to wear. He threw it aside and pulled her down on the couch with him.

“You can try to get some more rest,” he said, but it wasn’t going to be easy for either of them.

“I just want you to hold me,” she replied. Kevin pulled her against him. It was the easiest request Tara could have made. The room was so quiet he could almost hear her heartbeat. Trying to put her at ease, he hummed. He wasn’t sure what tune it was, but it broke up the monotony in the room. He tenderly kissed the top of her head and searched for her hand to hold. Squeezing it tightly, he continuing to hum the tune.
