Hale: Chapter 22
I lean against the doorframe, watching my brother brush his teeth. My mind isn’t here, as my thoughts keep returning to my little chat with Piper. Fuck me if you can, Hunter, or go to bed. As if there’s anything I want to do more than finally bury my cock deep inside her pussy. Of course I want to fuck her, but sometimes our wishes have nothing to do with reality. Hayden’s presence in my house is my reality, and I can’t risk him finding out about Piper and me. He won’t understand.
“I’ve been meaning to ask you,” my brother mutters, spitting toothpaste into the sink and rinsing his mouth with tap water. “Is it true you told Piper she should know her place?”
“What?”
“Yesterday she mentioned you told her to know her place when she wanted to talk to you about Story. She also said you apologized but…did you really tell her that?”
Is that how she tried to divert his attention last night? How she made sure he believed nothing was going on between us? I somehow understand her logic, but at the same time, couldn’t she have warned me? It was obvious he’d try to make things right and lecture me. Exactly what I fucking need when I’m horny and irritated…not.
“I’m a direct person, Hayden. So yes, I told her that, and yes, I apologized.”
“She’s my best friend.”
“So what? She’s my employee.”
“It’s different, Hunter,” he grits, crossing his arms over his chest. “Piper doesn’t deserve to be treated or talked to like that. Story loves her, and Pip loves your daughter too. You should be grateful, not spiteful.”
“I am grateful.” I frown. I’ve said a lot of wrong things to her, and many of them would never have left my mouth if I didn’t feel attracted to her. My annoyance with myself got mixed in with my frustration and my growing desire to have her, and it definitely wasn’t the healthiest situation to be in. I know how horribly I was behaving toward her, and I’d do anything for her to forget about it and forgive me. I’m not the fucking douche my brother is trying to portray me as. “Things are better now.”
“Because you said you’re sorry?”
“Because I admitted my faults.” I nod, narrowing my eyes on Hayden. “It’s between Piper and me, and if I said I was sorry, I meant it.”
“Not sure she sees it that way.” Trust me, brother, she does. There’s no lingering misunderstanding between us. We’ve talked about everything that’s happened since the moment she moved in. “You should be more careful with the things you say—”
“Do you like her?” I ask, and his jaw hangs open. Hayden gawks at me with eyes as round as saucers.
“What do you mean?”
“Do you like Piper?”
“She’s a friend, Hunter,” my brother hisses, dropping his hands to his sides and balling his fists. “Pip is like a sister to me. Always has been, and always will be.”
“Then you should think about loosening her leash. You’re suffocating her.”
Hayden looks stunned for a second, and then he shakes his head. “You’re still the same. A fucking jerk who turns things around when he feels threatened.”
“If you think you’re any different, you’re deluding yourself.” I smirk and head to the stairs. “You’re being defensive because you know you’re in the wrong. And you don’t like to hear the truth. Night, Hayden.”
“Night,” my brother mutters angrily.
I don’t look back, but I hear his footsteps and then the door closing. He needs a reality check. The way he tries to control her is ridiculous, and I don’t just think that because I got involved with her. She has a good head on her shoulders, and she’s much smarter and more resourceful than he gives her credit for. He should know better.
I open the door to my room, step inside, and just stand there, not moving. All that talk about always keeping my promises, and now I’m all alone in my bedroom. Agitated and sexually deprived because of my little brother.
When I saw Piper and Hayden for the first time in all those years, I had this thought about how other guys would need to keep their distance from her because of their closeness and his overprotectiveness. And now that other guy is me. My brother’s possessiveness when it comes to his best friend is as admirable as it is frustrating. I would’ve understood if there were a reason for his behavior, but I don’t see any. She’s not a damsel in distress. If anything, the girl is very aware of how to stand up for herself.
Shaking my head, I stomp to my bed and take off my tee, tossing it onto my covers. My breathing quickens when I notice her panties on my nightstand. What a sneaky girl. My lips curl into a smile as I take her panties, fisting them. Is this her way of telling me what she wants? If so, she definitely succeeded.
Screw it.
I shove her panties into the pocket of my sweatpants, grab my tee from the bed, and put it on. I take a few steps toward the door, halt in my tracks, and go back to my bedside table. When I open the first drawer, a new box of condoms is the first thing my eyes fall on. I take a few and saunter to the hallway, quietly closing the door. Story is asleep, and I’m sure Hayden is still up, but I know he won’t come downstairs. My words played in my favor, and he’ll stay away. My brother’s ego is huge, but the last thing he’ll want is to butt heads with me. He won’t win.
Putting my hand on the doorknob, I slowly push the door open, and amble inside. Piper’s bed is empty, but light comes from under her bathroom door. I quickly lock the door and sneak to the bathroom, cracking the door open. Piper is in the shower. I see the outline of her body through clouded glass.
I pull off my tee, and it falls to the ground. Then I add my sweatpants and my boxer briefs to the pile. Stepping closer, I stop by the glass door before I open it. My eyes land on her back, and I let my gaze devour her. Her wet hair spills over her shoulders. Water drips down her shoulder blades to her narrow waist and her amazing ass. Piper is fucking perfection.
“I found your gift,” I murmur, and she looks over her shoulder.
“It wasn’t a gift.” Piper shrugs, locking her gaze with mine. “It was motivation.”
I step inside the shower and cup her face with my palms. She puts her hands on my hips and then slowly circles one of her hands around my dick. “It was a gift. I’m not giving it back.”
“Whatever you want, Mr. Hale.” Fuck. Her “Mr. Hale” sounds sexier than any other woman who has ever tried to flirt with me. I pull her closer and tip my head down, kissing her.
She strokes my dick as our tongues dance in a frenzied motion. My head is spinning, and my whole body is in flames from her closeness. Her soft lips are so fucking kissable, I don’t want to stop for even a moment. I suck her bottom lip into my mouth and bite hard, hearing her whimper. Her grip on my dick becomes tighter in an instant, and I groan from how good it feels. A hand job was my only source of relief for a while, but it never felt as amazing as it does with her. She makes everything better.
I put my hand on her breast, massaging gently and then tugging on her nipple. Piper leans into me, pressing herself even closer to my chest, as she continues to work her magic on my dick. If I don’t stop her, she’ll have me coming in no time. And I don’t want that. I want to come with her walls squeezing tightly around my shaft. I want to be inside her so bad that it reminds me of an addiction. It’s my first time with her, and I’m afraid to even imagine what will happen when I do fuck her. Will I be able to stop?
“Touch me, please.” Her whisper rips me from my thoughts, and I glide my lips over her neck and down to her shoulders. I suck, leaving a hickey on her collarbone. “Hunter, please, touch me.”
She spreads her legs and I lower my hand to her pussy, my fingers sneaking to her clit. She’s so fucking wet, and it has nothing to do with the water. Piper is dripping, and this realization sends me over the edge. I want her now.
I take a step back, and Piper’s eyes snap open. Her chest is rising and falling from her erratic breathing. Grabbing her throat, I inch my lips to hers, running my tongue over her bottom lip. “Turn around, bend over, and show me your beautiful cunt.”
She holds my gaze, keeping silent, and then she slowly nods. I seize her lips with another long, passionate kiss, and only when I feel her tremble do I step away.
“Do it.”
Piper slowly turns around as I open the glass door and reach for my pants. Grabbing a condom, I quickly tear open the wrapper and sheath my cock. I stalk back into the shower stall and close the door, my eyes instantly falling on her fine ass and pussy. Her tits are pressed against the glass as she holds her butt cheeks, spreading herself open for me. Not a single question was asked, and she’s waiting for me exactly as I wanted her. She’s so in tune with me, I might be a goner.
“I’m going to fuck you senseless, Piper.” I run my dick up and down her folds, drawing a long, loud moan out of her. She’s not the quietest girl, and even though I’m tempted to make her scream, I won’t do that now. My daughter and my brother are still here, and I don’t want them to know. For different reasons, but nonetheless. They don’t need to know about what I do with my daughter’s nanny. Not now, not ever.
“Fuck me, please,” she whispers, and I angle my cock, slowly pushing it all the way inside her pussy. I grip her hips, and a hiss escapes my lips. She’s tighter than I expected. “Oh God, I’m so fucking full.”
“You’re not,” I tell her, picking up my pace and fucking her steadily. “I’m going to stretch this pussy until you take me whole. Until I’m fucking balls deep inside you.”
“It feels so good,” she moans, and I dig my fingernails into her ass. The sounds she makes are the hottest sounds I’ve ever heard. My mind becomes cloudy as I pound deeper into her. I place my palms on her ass, finding two little spots for my fingers.
Ramming into her deeper and harder, I groan, feeling my balls tighten. I’m so close to my release, but I’m not fucking ready for it to be over. I step back, turn her around, and kiss her lips. I wrap my arms around her waist and lift her off her feet. Her legs instinctively wrap around me as I drive my length inside her all at once. A low growl leaves my lips, because it feels like fucking heaven on Earth.
“Fuck.”
Piper winds her hands around my shoulders, her fingers sneaking into my hair. “I’m so close already…please, don’t stop…”
“I’m going to make you come so hard, Piper…you won’t be able to fucking walk.” I hide my face in her neck, her scent swimming around me and filling every bone in my body. I’m on the verge of my release, and I stop holding myself back. “Such a good girl…such a good fucking girl…”
With one strong thrust, I come. I bite down on her neck and continue to move my hips over and over, until she comes too. Her lips seek mine, and our sounds drown in our collided mouths. Her walls squeeze hard around my dick, and I come even more…even if I didn’t think that was possible.
Her arms are wrapped around my shoulders, and our lips have minds of their own, refusing to be apart for even a minute. We kiss, pant, and caress each other’s skin, prolonging the feeling and enjoying it to the fullest.
I step back, but my hand stays firmly circled around her waist. My gaze is glued to her beautiful face. Her cheeks are flushed, her eyes are glimmering with heat, and those puffy lips look incredible. She’s even more beautiful now, probably because I finally saw her. I finally saw all of her, and I don’t want to go back to the way it was before. I want to fade into her.
“I honestly thought you were going to make me pass out,” she says, dragging her finger down my chest.
“Not tonight,” I respond, grabbing her chin between my fingers and tilting her head toward me for a kiss. “I want to make you scream my name…and that’s not possible with other people in the house.”
“Are you thinking about sending Story to your parents’ more often?”
“I definitely am.” I kiss the corner of her mouth, and she sighs, closing her eyes. “A little sleepover here and there won’t hurt.”
“I love the sound of that.”
“I know.” I take a deep breath and kiss her forehead, then step back immediately. “I need to head back to my room. I have a pretty busy morning.”
“Sure. Night, Hunter.”
“Night, Piper.” I hesitate for a millisecond, and then I mentally slap myself. Rules, Hunter. They are there for a fucking reason.
I climb out of the shower, quickly dry my body with a towel, then take off the condom and throw it into the trash can. Putting on my clothes, I glance over my shoulder and see her wash her body under the pouring water. Piper feels my gaze and gives me a little smile. I nod and go to my room. Of course, not all nights will be like this, but I’ll be sure to make the most of the ones that are. It’s just a silly idea, but I think I finally met someone as insatiable as me.
