Page 20 of Waiting for You (Balsam Cliffs #3)

I can’t wait to get her naked in my bed. To ravage her body.

I place Eve down on the floor at the foot of my bed. Stripping her out of her pants takes no time at all. Thankful that she didn’t have time to put her shirt back on before I scooped it up.

“Shit. How’d I get so lucky to be here again?” I toss her on the bed and she bounces backwards to the pillows.

Lunging forward I straddle her hips and grab the camera. I snap photo after photo of her sprawled out on my bed.

“This isn’t fair. You’re still clothed.” She pouts.

Leaning back on my heels I hold my arms out. “Do the honors, Peach.”

Licking her bottom lip and sucking it between her teeth she peruses my body trying to figure out where to start.

Scooting away from me, she reaches out pushing my jacket off my shoulders then pulling the tee up over my head. A shove to my chest forces me to lay down and I flip her with me.

How was I so stupid to give this woman up?

Reaching into the waistband of my unzipped pants she pulls all of it down. “That’s more like it.” She crawls back up my body and I instinctually snap another photo.

My dick is already screaming for a taste of her.

Before I can do anything she sinks down on top of me. So slowly I get to relish every inch of me she swallows with her tight pussy. I could come again just from the sight of her.

“Oh God, you feel so damn good, Hunt.” She moans out.

She throws her head back pushing her breasts out in whatever that scrappy thing is she calls a bra. Reaching around I unhook it and let them fall free.

I pull her down to me and kiss her. Letting our tongues tangle while she moves up and down my dick. Her hips move to a beat only she hears.

The only thing I can hear is the pulsing of my heartbeat in my ears. I have tunnel vision for the beauty riding me. The reality of Evelyn Thomas riding my cock is so much better than the fantasies.

After all these years, she’s finally all mine. Every inch of her body belongs to me.

“I can’t believe I have you back, Peach. Do you know how long I’ve waited for you?”

She stiffens under my grip but I flip her over and take control. I’m not letting her seconds guess this moment.

“We never…”—she pulls her lip in between her teeth—“made it this far.”

“Thats what makes right now so fucking sweet. You’re finally mine in every sense. If you want to be mine, I’m yours, Eve. Forever.”

I hover over her, reaching between us to find her clit while I take her mouth with mine. I don’t want to hear her answer. Not yet.

Her hips move frantically under me. And I know she’s close by the quickness of her panting.

“Are you ready to come for me, Peach?”

She nods her head , grasping at my back and locking her legs around my waist. “I’m going to go fast and rough. If it’s too much just stop me,” I run a finger over her lips before crashing mine to hers.

I quicken the pace, slamming into her hard and fast just like I said. Her breasts bounce below me and her peaked nipples rub on my chest.

“Come for me. Right now.” I can’t hold off any longer.

I pinch her clit and her back flies off the bed, taking me deeper than she was before as my orgasm takes hold. We hold each other tight as our orgasms finish and collapse onto the bed.

“Stay with me tonight?” I whisper in her ear.

“I’d love to.”

Letting her go, I walk into the bathroom to get a towel. Coming back to her I clean us both up from the mess we made especially with the caramel.

I climb back into bed next to her and for the first time in my life I get to fall asleep next to Evelyn Thomas and not worry about sneaking out on time, or if someone is going to find us.

I wake in the morning with long dark hair tickling my nose and a leg thrown over mine. Evelyn is still here. After all these years I get to have her as mine and enjoy a leisurely morning with her.

“What time is it?” She groans from beside me.

“Just about sunrise. Go back to sleep.” I pull her close to me. Wrapping my arms around her.

“Can’t. I’m awake now.” She dramatically sighs and throws her hair over her shoulder so I can see her gorgeous face.

“Well. In that case, how about I run you a warm bath and you can watch the sunrise from your spot?”

“This is my first time here, how do I have a spot?” She raises a brow.

“Because it was built just for you. It’s never been used, just sitting, waiting for you.” Dropping a kiss to her forehead I leave her and start the water for her bath.

Emma bought some bath bombs to keep here. She said the women would like them. But she didn’t know that there was only one woman who’d ever set foot in this house.

“Are you ready?” I scoop her up out of bed.

“I was looking for my phone. It’s buzzing somewhere.” She pouts.

Placing her in the warm water, I hand her the bath bomb I took out. Sage and Eucalyptus. It’s calming according to the packaging. “I’ll find it. You relax and enjoy.”

“Hunt.” I’m almost to the door when she calls me. I turn to see her looking over her shoulder. “This is really nice. Thank you.”

She turns away from me and I head off on my mission. Her phone. And coffee. Maybe a granola bar if I still have those. Or eggs.

Looking under the bed first I find her pile of clothes and the vibrating phone.

Neil.

What the fuck does he want? The urge to answer is strong but I’m not going to be that guy. Not yet anyway. I ignore his call and set it on the bed while I get everything else.

Making hot coffee while naked probably isn’t my smartest choice. But I wasn’t about to put sticky sandy pants back on or dig out a clean pair just to get in the tub in a few minutes.

I have the two mugs of coffee ready to go when I hear a noise on my porch.

Before I can stop the event from happening Cooper is at the glass door. Getting a full frontal view.

“What the fuck, man?” He yells through the glass door.

I pull it open. Not hiding anything. “This is my house, you know.”

“Could you hide that thing or something, Jesus.” He covers his eyes with the bag in his hand.

“You’re such a baby. It’s not my fault yours is so small you don’t know what a real dick looks like.”

“You know what, I don’t have to take this abuse from you. Here’s whatever from Violet. She thought you might need breakfast for your guest.”

He tosses the bag and runs toward the door.

“Love you, baby brother!” I shout.

I only get his middle finger in response.

But thank God for Vi. Opening the bag I find bagels and cream cheese with fresh baked muffins and danishes.

Plating everything on a tray with the mugs of coffee I head back to the bathroom. I place everything on the table across the tub and grab her phone.

“It was Neil. Not sure if you still want it or not.” I hold out her phone.

“Ugh.” Her face scrunches. “Absolutely not. Just shut it off, please.”

“With pleasure.”

Dropping it on the counter, I nudge her forward and slide in behind her. Wrapping my legs on either side of her body.

She leans back on my chest and I pull the tray towards us. “Cooper just dropped off some goodies from Violet. She had high hopes for our date last night.”

“This looks perfect. Guess I owe her, huh?”

“I think I know the perfect way. You could come with me tonight to the cookout at the inn. Maybe as my girlfriend?”

“Hunter. I…I don’t know. That’s really fast and last night was great and this is great, but…”

“No. I get it. It’s okay. But you should still come. Everyone will be there. Willow’s whole family is coming in too.”

I rip off a piece of the danish and hold it to her lips, feeding her.

“Yeah, of course, I’ll still come. I’m so sorry. I just ruined this whole thing.”

“Absolutely not. I’m groveling. And with that I know I need to put in the work before anything changes. It’s okay. I’ll do whatever it takes. This is just part of it.” I kiss her cheek.

My hurt is my own fault. I shouldn’t have expected her to be ready for all that yet. Two orgasms don’t equal forgiveness.

“I’ll tell you what. When you earn all your letters back, I’ll be your girlfriend.” She pops another piece of danish in her mouth.

“I’m sorry, what?”

Chuckling, she explains that every time I’ve pissed her off she’s deleted a letter from my name in her phone. But apparently I’m earning them back now.

“What am I at now?” Curious as to how much work I have to do.

“After last night and my bath, I think it’s safe to say you’re up to H-U.” Reaching back she gives me a bite of the bagel. “So only four more letters to go.”

Scowling, I ask, “I was down to just an H?”

“You were at Hun after I first moved back. Which honestly pissed me off more because it looked like a term of endearment.”

A deep laugh rumbles from me. I can totally see that pissing her off. “I’m surprised I had any letters left. I thought for sure I’d be deleted.”

“I couldn’t bring myself to cut the cord completely,” she whispers quietly.

Leaning forward I place soft kisses up her neck and onto her cheek. “I'm glad you didn’t. And it’s okay to still feel what we shared. It’s something special even if you’re mad at me.”

“It’s really hard to stay mad at you, Hunter Keaton.”

Thank God.

Evelyn insisted on going home this morning. I wanted to spend the day with her but I wasn’t going to argue or push her. I need to earn my letters back.

Wyatt: I’ll bring Eve tonight. I just ran into her.

Me: Why you? I told her I’d come pick her up.

Wyatt: That doesn’t make sense, she lives next door and we’re both going to the inn.

Me: Fine.

Wyatt: Don’t worry, brother. Once I drop her off she’s all yours.

Me: I’m not worried.

Wyatt: laughing emoji Right.

Fuck him. I’m going to get my girl back. And I’m not worried about him. Or any of those fuckers. I have the girls on my side. I think. Maybe I should be a little worried.

Peach: Wyatt said he’d drive me over tonight.

Me: I heard.

Peach: I’m sorry. I didn’t want to say no. It just made sense.

Me: I’ll still be the one to take you home.

Peach: I hope so. I’m enjoying my groveling orgasms.

Me: I bet I could get you one before the night ends.
