This Beautiful Thing (Young Love Series) (14 page)

“Well I think you will fit in nicely around here then son. This lot likes to help out those who really truly need it.”

“Thank you sir. And Jaden has told me plenty about the great work that Mrs. Harper and your children do. I’m truly honored to be staying here for Thanksgiving vacation.”

Conversation went all over the place after that. Everyone talking to each other and over each other. It was a lot to take in. At one point I had four different people ask me four different questions. I was happy when dinner was over and we moved the party into the living room. Apparently it was tradition to play games after dinner.

I stood outside the room in the door way as Jessica and Marie pulled out a game system from the entertainment center. Here I am thinking that they are going to play video games. No that’s not what these lovely people had in mind. One word…karaoke.

The rules were that everyone had to go. Either you sang by yourself or you got to pick a partner. Since Grace, Marcus, and I were new to this we got to go first. Marcus and I threw Grace into the wolves and decided to do All My Life by Boyz 2 Men. We got cat calls and woots from the crowd even though neither one of us can carry a tune.

Jessica took pity on Grace and got up to sing Girls Just Want to Have Fun by Cindy Lopper doing silly little 80s dances. Next up were Cody and Max who sang Back in Black by AC/DC while playing air guitar. Forest and Caden got up next and belated out a lovely rendition of I Kissed a Girl by Katy Perry which got lots of laughs. I knew Jaden could sing so I wasn’t surprised he got up there by himself and sang Call Me by Shinedown that had his mother in tears. Mr. and Mrs. Harper went next singing Jackson by June Carter and Johnny Cash. I thought it was odd that Teagan went last but oh it didn’t take long to figure it out.

She got up on the makeshift stage and picked out her song. She started singing and I liked to have died. She had been keeping a big secret from me. This tiny little thing could sing like a five hundred pound woman. She kept eye contact with me the entire song and I had to cross my legs and hope no one noticed my hard on. Seems I always have one of those when she’s around. That or I’m too easily turned on.

I finally learned where she got the tattoo from. The song is called Speechless and it’s by Lady Gaga. She did the beautiful singer justice. She never missed a note and the song had a Smokey café kind of feel that Teagan pulled off with her smoky throaty voice. The song itself was beautiful. Lines like “And I'll never love again, I'll never write a song, won’t even sing along, I’ll never love again.” There is even a part where the girl in the song gets her brother to beat up her boyfriend. They even wire his jaw shut. That hits a little close to home.

I can’t help but think I’ll never own my own heart again. Teagan stole it with her beautiful voice and sexy body and with her outgoing personality and big caring heart. With those emerald eyes that see into my soul. I don’t think I will ever love again. I lay in Marie’s old bed and I know deep in my soul that she is it for me.

Chapter 16

Teagan

I feel like I haven’t gotten to see Declan at all since we got here. I miss him a lot. The way his chocolate eyes twinkle when he sees me. How his body feels pressed up against mine. Or the way he knows exactly what to say to make me feel better. I can’t believe that I’m lucky enough to have his attention. He is such a wonderful guy and he doesn’t judge me for anything I do. He is always there if I need someone to talk to or a shoulder to cry on. I love the way he is with his brother. He would do anything for him; hell from what I’ve heard he practically raised him. I can’t imagine what he had to go through. I guess that goes to show you it doesn’t take great parents to make a great person.

The word love keeps popping into my head every time I even think of Declan. I’ve never been in love but I wonder if this is what I’m feeling. I think about him all the time. He makes me want to be a better person. The way he looks at me like I’m the most beautiful girl in the world. I don’t even have to do my hair or put on makeup for that look. What we have is special something I have never encountered before. I do realize that I haven’t ever been in another relationship but what daddy said earlier has my mind spinning. I do feel when he walks into the room and my eyes immediately look for him. I don’t even have to touch him for sparks to fly between us. If that’s not love then I don’t know what is.

That’s how I find myself sneaking down the hall to the room he’s staying in. That’s also when I noticed the door for the room Grace is in opening. I hurry into the hall bathroom when I realize that it isn’t Grace leaving her room but Caden. What the hell?

Shaking my head I wait for him to make it back to his own room before tiptoeing on to Declan. After opening the door as quietly as possible I sneak in. The only light is from the moon coming in through the window. I wait for a minute for my eyes to adjust to the darkness. When I can make out his form I start to get short of breath.

He’s on his stomach wearing only a pair of black boxer briefs. I wonder if he got too hot since he has kicked the covers off. He’s got one of the pillows hugged to his head with his arms wrapped around it. I almost feel bad since I’m going to wake him up because he just looks so peaceful. I love to watch him sleep, his face gets so expressive. I’ve seen him smile or scrunch up his face. He even grunts and groans. I laugh softly to myself. What an expressive dreamer.

As I start to creep to the bed he flips over to his back and I almost faint. My breathing is even more ragged. The moonlight makes his muscled torso look even sexier. He looks like he needs to be ravished. And lucky me he has turned on his back because that makes it easier for what I want to do to wake sleeping handsome up.

I finally make it to the bed without waking him. I place one leg gently on the bed when that results in nothing I place the other next to the first. I gently run my index finger down his groin. He’s soft of course but I plan on changing that. I continue to run my finger up and down his length and slowly feel it harden. He softly moans in his sleep while his hips twitch. I slowly take his hardness out of his undies and bend over to lick it up and down. Now I haven’t done this before because he won’t let my mouth anywhere near his dick. Something about taking advantage of me. Well two could play at that game I won’t let his mouth anywhere near my privates. That just seemed to piss him off.

I lick his sex a few more times before I feel bold enough to stick my mouth to it. I close my mouth around the head and slowly suck it into my mouth. I feel my face stretch around his girth. Yeah I’m not going to be able to fit the whole thing in my mouth so I place one of my hands around the base as I start to move up and down his length faster. My hand takes care of the places I can’t reach and it bumps into my mouth as I bob up and down. I get the shock of my life when I feel Declan’s hands dig into my wild hair. He’s moaning and groaning softly. I’m glad to see that he didn’t stop me when he woke up.

He uses his hold in my hair to move me up and down his length faster and I love every second of it. Before I realize what’s going on he reaches down and pulls me up the bed. I’m now underneath him and he has this crazy wild look in his eyes. Maybe I shouldn’t have woken the lion. He unties my silky pink robe to discover I have nothing on underneath. He doesn’t say anything as he leans in to give me a harsh kiss. Ours tongue are in a dangerous dance and I find myself arching into him. He moves his kisses down my body. Over my neck, down the valley between my breasts, over my flat stomach and onto my sex.

He stops there lifting his head as he trails a finger down my wet folds. “Your wet for me baby. Did sucking my dick turn you on?” he asks me with a cocky grin on his face.

I’ll I can do is nod as he sticks his tongue out and swipes it across my sex. My back bows off the bed. Damn that feels so good. He proceeds to torture me by sucking on my nub of nerves. I think I moan his name and I hear him chuckle.

It feels like it goes on for hours but it can’t be for more than a minute. With him sucking and thrusting his tongue into me I don’t last long before I have a pillow shoved into my face to muffle my scream of pleasure.

When I come back down to earth I notice that he has taken the pillow from my face and he’s looking into my eyes and I know what he is going to say before he says it. “I’m ready.”

That’s the only warning I get before I feel his rock hard length pushing into me. He’s bigger than I expected and I really don’t think he’s going to fit. He watchs my face intently and I know that he will stop if I show any sign of pain. He’s going slowly so my body can adjust to his invasion. When he is all the way in I let a sigh of relief. That wasn’t near as bad as I thought it was going to be.

“You okay baby?” he questions me.

To answer I throw my arms around his neck and thrust my hips up to meet his. He groans into my ear and then he starts to thrust too. Slow at first but his tempo gets stronger and stronger. All I can hear is the slapping off our sweaty skin and the grunts and moans coming from each of us.

He brings his head back down to my ear where he whispers “Come for me baby, I’m not going to last long.” Shivers rock my body and I find myself rubbing that special spot on my body that makes everything more intense. It’s not long before I feel that tingle that means I’m about to blow.

“MMM I’m almost there…” I trail off as I thrash my head from side to side. Its builds to an intense heat and I finally feel it explode and all I see is bright light. That was so much better then when we are just fooling around. I feel my sex clench around him dragging him in even further. I feel him tense above me and his movements get jerkier and then he’s kissing my lips as I shallow his yell of pleasure.

He falls down beside me and curls me around him like he is afraid to let me go. “Yeah I don’t know if that was the stupidest or smartest idea we have ever had.”

Declan

“Why stupidest?” she asks rubbing her hand up and down my stomach.

“Because my dumbass didn’t put a condom on. You get me so wrapped up in you I forget the most important thing.” I rub my hand down my face in frustration. I can’t believe I didn’t even think to put a condom on.

“It’ll be okay. We’ll use one from now on and I’ll get on the pill. I don’t know why I didn’t do that in the first place since I knew I would talk you into it sooner or later.” She looks up at me and I kiss her sweaty forehead.

“Yeah but we are in a world of hurt if you end up pregnant. I’ll be dead the second you tell Jaden. Jesus why am I so dumb?” I stare at the white ceiling as she continues to rub her hand up and down my stomach in a comforting touch.

“I won’t end up pregnant. Fate can’t be that evil. I’m not some sixteen year old girl who said it was okay for her boyfriend to not wear a condom because he doesn’t like them.” She laughs but I don’t think she even believes that.

We quickly fall asleep naked and wrapped around each other. Just before dawn Teagan gets up kissing me good bye to return to her own room before anybody else wakes up. I suddenly miss her and wish we were at my house were we don’t have to hide the fact that we are together. Marcus doesn’t give a shit what we do.

A couple of hours later after a shower I head downstairs to get some breakfast. It’s pretty late morning since I don’t like to get up early. The smell of coffee and pancakes reaches my nose before I even enter the spacious kitchen. Teagan is already sitting down next to Grace their heads bent together talking in angry whispers. Mrs. Harper is at the stove flipping the pancakes humming a pleasing tune. I head over to the girls and their heads pop up at my approach. “What are you two talking about so intensely?”

“Nothing to worry your pretty little head about.” Grace smiles sweetly at me and I wonder if they were talking about me.

Teagan reads my mind and shakes her head no as Jaden and Caden elbow their way past each other to enter the kitchen. Jaden comes over to kiss Grace who accepts with a bright smile. That’s when I hear a glass break on the other side of the room. “Caden Gabriel Harper that’s belonged to your grandmother god rest her soul!” Mrs. Harper exclaims.

“Sorry mom it slipped out of my hand.” He explains with a blush to his cheeks.

“Well you better learn how to hold things the right way boy.” She throws him a dirty look and points her spatula at him

“Poor Caden a grown man and still getting spanked by his momma.” Jaden taunts him.

“Jaden Vincent Harper you better watch your mouth because I can still wash it out with soap young man. Acting that way doesn’t make either of you grown. You best remember that.” I would hate to be on her bad side.

Teagan and Grace exchange a look. I really want to know what’s going on there. Caden walks by and Grace gets a hurt look on her face when he doesn’t make eye contact. Yeah I definitely want to know what’s going on.

After breakfast I go up to corner Teagan. When I walk in after checking to make sure no one sees she is sitting on her bed with her kindle reading away. I don’t think she even noticed that I walked in. “What are you reading Beautiful?” I ask startling her.

“Oh hey I’m reading a romance novel. I’m just at the good part. What’s up?” she is avoiding my eyes so I know she doesn’t want to talk about what was going on in the kitchen.

“I want to know what’s going on with Grace, Jaden, and Caden.” I cross my arms over my chest so she will get the point that I’m serious. Jaden is my best friend and if Grace is playing him he deserves to know.
