Love Survives (38 page)

Kat took the lead and then let me finish the book. It was cool how B started to doze off after the first few pages. She did get a kick out of how I read with excitement.

After our daughter was asleep, we met my parents downstairs. They were sipping on wine and offered us some right away.

“We’ve been talking while you were putting B down. Listen, I know you’ll both have a hard time with it, but we want to have your brother and Melissa over before you leave. We’re a family, all of us. So much time has passed and we never know when something could happen.” My mom wasn’t going to drop it. She was adamant about having my brother come for a visit.

“Okay,” Kat replied.

I turned my attention to her, shocked. “Wait, did you just say okay?”

“Yeah. We can handle Branch and even my ex best-friend Melissa. Some more of this wine might be necessary though.”

Everyone in the room began to crack up.

We stayed up for a while after that, talking and catching up. When my parents would ask questions that made Kat uncomfortable, I’d take over, giving them enough information to keep them satisfied. I was sure there were gaps they were trying to fill in their minds, but they seemed content with whatever I fed them.

Kat went up to bed first, leaving me to say good night to my parents. I wanted them to know how much I appreciated everything they were doing. Surprisingly I hadn’t even thought about Bobby or the fact that we still had all of that mess to deal with.

When I entered my bedroom I didn’t see Kat anywhere. It was obvious she’d gone through my bag. Clothes were strewn all around it. I pulled off my shorts and climbed into my bed, figuring Kat would come to bed when she was ready. I never expected her to come jumping out of the closet, wearing nothing but my camo jacket and boots.

When I realized what she was doing I put my hands behind my head and prepared for a show. The jacket was unbuttoned, leaving little to the imagination. I licked my lips as I watched her sauntering in my direction.

At first it was sexy. I was preparing for it to get even hotter when her knees hit the mattress. Unfortunately, that’s not what happened.

Kat lost her balance, tumbling down to the floor. By the time I leaned over to see what had happened, she was holding her knee. It was obvious she’d had a little too many glasses of wine with my parents. While signs of blood were obvious on her knees, she sat there laughing at herself.

“Are you alright?”

“I feel like an idiot. This was supposed to be sexy.”

I gave her a once-over “Trust me, Kat, you’re extremely sexy. Maybe next time you can go without the boots.” I pulled them off one at a time and helped her back up. Next I removed the large jacket, leaving her naked in front of me.

“You really think I’m sexy?” She asked.

I leaned forward and kissed her sultry lips slowly. “I can’t wait to get you in the pool tomorrow.”

She smirked. “How about we go swimming right now?”

I was thinking about it, that’s for sure. “Don’t tempt me with your nakedness, woman. I’m weak when it comes to you.”

“You make me happy.” She latched onto my arms to hold herself up.

I took her by the hand and led her to my bed. “We can swim tomorrow.”

She sat straight up. “Can we make love now?”

I couldn’t help from laughing at her. She was so cute this way. “You want to make love with my parents downstairs and our daughter across the hall?”

“Is this a trick question?”

I walked my fingers from her belly button to one of her breasts. Then flicked the tip, causing her to jump. “Can you be quiet?”

She snickered. “Probably not.”

I was chuckling, but stopped to whisper in her ear. “If you can be really quiet, I’ll make love with you. Can you be quiet, beautiful?”

She nodded.

I knew right where to kiss to send her into a frenzy. “Close your eyes.”

I took my time, kissing her tenderly down there. I took my chin and rubbed my stubble over her whole pussy. She was already reacting the way I expected her to. I used one hand to spread her open and lowered my mouth to begin licking her. I sucked her clit into my mouth at the same time as two fingers slid inside of her. I loved making her feel this way. She was bucking against my face, suddenly screaming out when I brought her satisfaction.

Kat sat straight up, covering her mouth. I knew how embarrassed she was, hoping that when she slept it off she’d forget it happened, but I never would. As wrong as it was, I felt empowered.

I wiped off my face before kissing her. “You suck at keeping quiet.”

“I couldn’t help it. I’m never going downstairs.”

I rubbed her between the legs, implying what was still to come. “You’re going to have to put a sock in your mouth because I’m not even halfway finished.”

She kicked off the covers and snickered as I came in for another kiss. “I’ll be quiet this time.”

“I don’t care how loud you get. Do you have any idea how long I’ve wanted to do this is my bedroom with you?”

She slapped me lightly on the back. “You’re funny.”

“You’re mine, Kat. You’re finally all mine.”

Chapter 44

I hadn’t had
my mother’s breakfast in years, and damn did it smell good downstairs. Unlike me, Kat was freaking out about facing my parents after making sure the whole neighborhood heard her getting off before going to bed.

“I told you, I’ll tell you again. I’m not going down there. I’m never showing my face again,” Kat whispered.

“I hate to break it to you, but our daughter’s been kidnapped by her grandmother. There’s no telling what they’re getting into. In fact, I think I remember her saying something about sugar and running around naked to be free.”

Kat hopped off the bed and started looking around for her clothes. “You’re an ass. I happen to know your mom would never do that.”

“Then why are you so worried?” I asked.

She growled and went into the bathroom to brush her teeth. I met her in there, remembering having to wait for my turn when we were kids. While she was staring into the mirror I hip checked her, shoving her over so I could use it. She smacked my ass and pushed me out of her way. “I was in first.”

I got on my tippy toes and looked over her. In the mirror I could see her checking out my naked chest. “You better cut it out. If my mom sees you giving me that eye it’s going to remind her of those noises you made last night. I’m pretty sure she’s going to have to pray for you at church. It’s possible she might assume we were into some kinky shit.”

While I enjoyed getting to her, Kat took a wet washcloth and smacked me on the side. “Shut up, Brooks.”

I took her hand. “Come on. You don’t need to get dolled up for our family. They’ve already seen you at your worst.”

I knew she was reluctant, but Kat followed me down the stairs. I couldn’t help notice she was wearing another one of my army shirts. In all honesty it made me terribly horny. At least I knew I’d be able to remove it later.

I made Kat a cup of coffee first, handing it over to her. “Just how you like it.”

She seemed amused that I knew how she liked it.

“Did you two sleep well?” My mother asked.

I kept filling my plate with food while I responded to her question. “Go ahead and ask the burning question. I’m sure you all heard Kat. Apparently we need to watch giving her wine because she takes all of her clothes off and hides in my closet.”

They started to laugh.

“Oh, it gets better. She put on my boots and jacket and thought that she was going to be sexy. After two steps she fell down face first. After that, we slept pretty good, right Kat?” I looked over and noticed how embarrassed she was. She was going to pay me back, and I couldn’t wait for it to happen.

Kat tried to remain composed. “I’m okay if anyone is concerned.”

My mom’s next comment was obviously something Kat wasn’t thrilled about.

“So I sent Branch an email this morning asking them to come to dinner Friday night. I’m waiting to hear back, but they both get off early during the week, since they live on the other side of the bridge, but work over here. The traffic gets so bad on the weekends that sometimes they get stuck in it for hours. I let them know that there is plenty of room for them to stay the night and go home on Saturday.”

While my mom kept talking I teased my little girl by sticking my tongue through a large pancake. She giggled, so I kept doing it.

“Brooks Michael, don’t teach her that!” My mom meant business when she went after my middle name.

“I’ve decided that since I’m a parent now I can make my own rules. If B wants to play with her food she can as long as she still eats it.”

Kat didn’t correct me.

“So, we were talking last night, and Mom and I want to know if the two of you have any plans yet? Are you going to finally get married?”

I could tell Kat wasn’t in any shape to answer that. “We’re not in a hurry to do it.” I began. “I mean, I’ve been gone a long time. We’ve just found each other again. We’re happy the way things are, and when the time is right, I suppose we’ll get that piece of paper. For now I’ve got everything I want already.”

I don’t know if they could sense it wasn’t a topic in which Kat and I had discussed yet, but they dropped it after my explanation.

When breakfast was over my parents took B to introduce her to some friends. That meant Kat, and I had the whole house to ourselves. “Get your suit on and meet me out back.” It wasn’t a request. I expected her to want to join me.

“It’s ten in the morning. You want to go swimming now?”

“We’re home alone and there’s a pool outside. If you don’t feel like changing then take off your clothes and come as you are. The choice is yours.”

She gave me one of her looks as if she was too good to be naked outdoors. “We have neighbors.”

“Actually, my beautiful lady, there’s nobody living in your old house. Dad told me last night. Since the pool is on that side, you’re out of excuses.” I pulled her close, traipsing my lips over hers. All the while I watched as her eyes became heavy. I was seducing her, and she knew it.

In the middle of the kitchen, for anyone to walk in and see, I felt my shorts being tugged down. The next thing I knew Kat was on her knees, taking my full dick in her hand. She was on a mission of her own, and I wasn’t about to stop her.

Her lips licked the tip of my cock before taking the whole thing deep in her mouth. My head immediately fell back. I was losing myself with every single rock of her head. The sounds of her sloshing saliva around for lubrication only made the gliding of her thrusts feel more intense. I couldn’t help from groaning because it felt too damn good not to.

Kat was going all out, forcing herself to take me as far as she could. She used her other hand to jerk me off, causing a chain reaction to happen deep inside of me. I was about to lose it, my mind a puddle of mush. That’s why I had to stop her. I couldn’t waste it when we had this much time to kill.

“Hold up, Kat. Let’s go upstairs.”

She flipped “I have a better idea.” She pulled me along until we were standing beneath the tree house. I smacked her butt, climbing each step with only one purpose in mind.

Once we were under the cover of our childhood clubhouse, I pulled her into my arms. My lips were on her while I wasted no time undressing her. Kat didn’t have to work hard to remove my shorts and then boxers. We were on the same page, with one common reward to thrive for.

Our making out became so intense that we both sank to the floor, her body straddling on top of mine. I kept my hands on her hands, teasing her with how turned on I already was. In retrospect she had just given me a blowjob in my parents kitchen, which was obviously sexy as hell.

The small area served as a giant sauna. Beads of sweat ran down our skin, tasting like salt as we licked each other’s throats. I was so ready to fill her, to make love where it all started.

I shoved Kat’s body back to suck a nipple into my mouth. There was nothing romantic about this encounter once we got started. I craved to be inside of her; to give her everything I had to offer in this world, and then even more. “Please, Brooks,” she begged.

“Please, what? Tell me, Kat. I want to hear you say it.” She could have shouted it from the rooftops, and I would have obliged.

“I want you so bad,” she cried out.

I teased her with my fingers first, feeling her tight walls accepting my strides in and out of her. “I can’t get enough of this pussy. Tell me it’s mine. Say it, Kat.”

I could tell I was getting her off. She bit down on her lips and threw her head back, succumbing to her own desire. “This pussy is yours, Brooks. I’m yours.”

I rubbed her clit, hard enough where I knew she wouldn’t be able to stop what was happening to her. It gave me such pleasure to bring her this type of pleasure. “Oh yeah, that’s it.”

The next time our lips met I was sliding inside of her. She didn’t need to recover from the finger play. That had been the appetizer, and this was the main course. I entered her easily, using her own juices to guide the way. When I realized it was feeling too good, it was apparent I’d have to slow down. “Stand up and turn around.”
