I'll Reach For You, page 25
"Can't you sleep?"
"No." She sighs. Then she turns to me and kisses me on the forehead.
"Did I wake you?" Hunt wonders. She puts her hand on my cheek and moves it lightly over my skin. It makes me close my eyes.
"You should wake me when you can't sleep, Hunt," I tell her, holding her tight and bury my cheek in her chest. Her hand moves to the back of my neck and starts stroking.
"No, I want you to sleep." She answers and kisses me on the forehead again. I love when she does that.
"Kiss me one more time," I beg. She snorts, and I feel her lips on my forehead again, but this time it’s slower.
"Like that?" She mumbles on my skin.
"Yes." I chuckle as she does it more and she rolls over me. Her lips move to my cheek and further down to my neck. I move my hands into her hair and mess it up a little as I moan from her nibbling on my skin. Then I feel warm hands on my stomach and it sends shivers through my body.
"Hunt, we can't..." I gasp when her thigh hits me between the legs, triggering the spark caused by her soft lips on my tender skin.
"Fine." She moves, but I grab her, and she chuckles.
"Oh, no," I told her harshly.
"You said..." I put my lips on hers, move my hands to her rough back, and drag the shirt over her head. She puts her lips on mine again. Then I move my hands down her shoulders and slowly down her back, feeling every scar on her warm skin under my fingertips. She removes my shirt and I help her dragging it off. Then I feel her body trembling above me.
"Honey." She says for the first time. It makes my heart elate but the worry in her voice scares me a little.
"What is it?" I ask and cup her cheeks.
"I-I... can't" She confesses with a shaky voice. I kiss her on the forehead. Her trembling gets worse, so I move her back down to the side of the bed. Then I lean my head on her naked shoulder and kiss her on the jawline. I put my hand on her exposed stomach and make circles.
"I'm sorry." She says hurt. I move my hand to her shoulder and push my body onto hers.
"Don't be," I say and kiss her on the collar.
"It's not your fault." I kiss her more and she gasps for air making me smile. Then I move my hands and cup her breasts. She puts her weak hands into my hair as she moans, messing it up. I move my lips all over her chest and taste her soft warm skin. Hunt moves her trembling hands down my back and onto my ass, dragging down my pants. I shift taking everything off and help Hunt take off hers.
"I’m not much help, am I?" She chuckles as I throw the clothes away. I’m glad she’s in a good mood again.
"Stop worrying, I want to do everything," I tell her and put my lips on her exposed stomach. Her abdomen moves up and down with her deep breathing. I rest my hands on her hips and push myself up to plant a light kiss on her lips.
"I love you." She whispers lightly.
"I love you too." I kiss her softly and move my thigh between her hot, wet legs.
"Sky." She moans and wraps her arms around my neck. Our naked bodies touching each other as I move up and down her. Hunt's soft moans are like music to my ears and it makes me plant kisses on her neck.
Her soft skin is so warm underneath mine and her wonderful scent makes me bite her on the neck and her arms around me tighten. Then I move faster between her warm, lustful legs and she starts breathing heavier. Her arms around me start to shake and then she lets them fall to her side. I kiss her softly on the lips as she moans a little too loud and she starts to nibble on my lower lip.
All the exciting sounds of her breathing and groaning cause the fire between my legs to grow. Our hot skin touching makes the blood in my veins boil. I want to hear her say my name more than anything when she comes.
"Faster." She moans. I do as she says, and she wraps her arms around my neck again. I move faster and faster; Hunt's arms start to tighten around me and her breathing tells me we’re almost there.
"Honey." She moans. My heart and stomach tingle again.
"I know," I whisper and kiss her on the forehead. She holds me even harder and her hips shoot up towards my thigh as her lungs search for air as she comes.
"Sky." She breathes out and I collapse on top of her body. Her arms fall off me and her stomach moves up and down fast underneath me. I kiss her on the chest and then lay my ear over her beating heart.
After a while, Hunt's breathing has calmed down, way too calm. I raise up and see she’s fallen asleep and I can't help but smile. I hope she sleeps for hours so I don’t have to see her struggle through the whole day trying to keep her eyes open. I love her way too much to see her even in the smallest amount of pain.
When dad told me about Hunt's accident, I thought I was going to die from agony. Seeing her in the bed gone from this world and half of her face blue and red, was the worst thing I have ever felt. Seeing the girl, I love more than my own life like that, broke my heart more than when she left. I kiss her over the heart and lay down next to her in the bed. Then I drag the duvet over us as I lay my head on her shoulder and my arm over her naked stomach.
"I love you."
Chapter 71
I didn’t have To
Iopen my eyes and find Hunt sleeping on top of me. She must have woken up and moved, I don't know, but she’s asleep, and the best thing is she’s naked. Just the thought of it makes my stomach tingle, but her warm, small body on mine, makes me want her but I know she can't because of her weak muscles and poor condition. She fell asleep right away last night. I was so happy she did.
The sun is shining outside and the clock on the wall says it’s eleven. I might have slept for eight hours, but I want Hunt to sleep longer if possible. I really need to go to the bathroom before I pee myself and Hunt's weight isn’t really helping. I try to slip out from under her, but she turns and moves her arms under neith mine, then down under the pillow, locking me in with her body. Goddammit, Hunter. I sigh and kiss her on the top of her head. I might be a little upset, but her cuteness just makes my heart melt. Now I’m not sure what I’m going to do, I really need to go to the bathroom. Dammit.
"Hunti?" I say and brush the hair on her cheek behind her ear.
"Hmm?" She mumbles.
"I have to go to the bathroom," I tell her, and she turns her head to the other side of my chest.
"I don't have to." I burst out into laughter, so hard that I close my eyes and feel the tears flowing.
"Lay still." She says annoyed and stretches out on me. She puts her chin on my chest and looks up at me with half closed eyes. I cup her cheeks.
"No, honey. I have to go to the bathroom." I chuckle.
"You’re kidding, right?" She asks as her eyes drift close.
"No, you know I wouldn't wake you if I didn’t really have to," I say a little miserable. She sighs and buries her face in my chest.
"Do you want me to carry you as well?" She mumbles. I laugh, thinking about all the times I’ve helped her.
"You can't even pick up Caleb." I tease and then I feel her finger in my side.
"Dammit, Hunter!" I say irritated. Since I don’t have any clothes on I’m even more exposed. I grab her arm and turn us around. Then I put my lips on her neck as I pin her hands down on the bed.
"Sky!" She yells as I bite her neck a little too hard. She tries to fight out of my hands but is a little too weak. Then I bite her earlobe and she tilts her head.
"Stop." She chuckles. I turn to look at her with a grin. Her eyes widen.
"What?" Hunt asks, annoyed, wondering why I look so suspicious. I kiss her on the jawline and lick all the way up to her temple.
"Skylar! I’m going to kick your ass!" She sounds so angry. I chuckle and lick her on the other side.
"Goddammit, Sky!" I grin with satisfaction.
"Sky, I know you love me, but there’s no need to lick my whole face!" She says and dries herself on her shoulders.
"Ewww." Hunt groans. I lean down.
"NO!" She warns. I kiss her on the forehead because right now I must go to the bathroom. I move off her, but before I get my feet off the bed, Hunt grabs me and pulls me down on the bed.
"Oh no." She moves and sits on my stomach.
"Hunt, that’s not a good idea, I really have to pee." She bites her inner cheeks and looks at me with no sympathy at all. She shakes her head and leans down. Then I feel her wet tongue on my jaw moving slowly up my face. I close my eyes in disgust, but I just laugh at the feeling.
"Hunti, I have to pee." I plead as she starts to lick the other side. I try to move to the side, but it’s not helping. Her lips turn down to mine.
"I love you." She says as I dry my cheeks on my shoulders.
"I noticed," I tell her, but grin as she kisses me on the forehead. She does it again and I feel the shivers down my back. I hear her laugh.
"I do really know how to change your mood." She smiles and kisses me one more time.
"I love you too, but I have to go," I tell her impatiently, it’s so hard to hold in now.
"Fine." She sighs but kisses me lightly on the lips before moving off me. I rush out of bed, putting on my clothes while listening to Hunt's laughter. I run out the door and down the hall.
"You’re in a hurry." Aunt Jenny chuckles.
"Move along!"
Chapter 72
That explains the angry Yelling
"Don't make me do it." I plead with Hunter.
"It's your turn." She chuckles and takes Caleb's and my hand in hers.
"I don't want to," I whine. Both laugh.
"I showed you yesterday, you can't possibly have forgotten." We stop in the bathroom. I look at Hunt and pout. She grins and kisses my cheek. I shake my head, but Hunt gives me the goddamn crooked smile and her eyes stare right through me.
"Fine." I sigh and pick up my cousin. He smiles and plays with my blond hair while Hunt lays the towel on the floor and grabs the things we need. I take my hair out of Caleb's hand and lay him down on the towel.
"Where did you learn all of this?" I ask while doing what Hunt did the day before.
"Umm, foster homes." She answers while handing over the new diaper.
"It's a good thing to learn," I tell her as I finish putting on his pants again.
"Yes, it is." She smiles as Caleb jumps into her lap after I picked him up. I throw away the diaper and wash my hands. My eyes drift down to Hunt and Caleb, he’s lying in her lap giggling from her tickling. He rolls and ends up on the floor and we all laugh. Caleb stands up again with a huge grin on his face, runs towards me and I pick him up. Hunt moves to her feet and kisses my cheek again.
"It wasn't that bad was it?" She asks with a cute smile.
"No, it wasn't," I say while shaking my head. It was more fun, but I’m not telling her that. If I do she’ll tease me like forever. Hunt and I walk into the living room with Caleb still in my arms. He must like my hair since he seems to play with it a lot. Kristen is the first thing I see, she’s the only one in the living room and has a sly smile on her face. I stop walking.
"What?" I ask, confused and a little annoyed.
"You two..."
"I don't want to hear it." I cut her off.
"You asked." She grins. I roll my eyes and sit on the couch with Caleb, so does Hunt.
"So, Hunter, it's almost your birthday," Kristen says. Hunt looks at her with a shy smile and nods.
"Yes, it is." She answers it's been a while since I saw her shy. Hunt’s not like that around dad and mom, especially not with me.
"You’re turning nineteen, right? A year older than Skylar if I remember correctly?" She sounds a little unsure.
"Yeah." Hunt nods. Kristen chuckles.
"You’re so shy." Hunt's cheeks turn red and she’s biting her inner cheeks. I take the pillow and throw it at my aunt, Caleb laughs.
"You make her uncomfortable," I tell Kristen annoyed and hear Hunt snort. Caleb crawls off me and into Hunt's lap.
"Hi." She says and gives him a big hug.
"Can I ask you two something?" My aunt asks seriously, and I nod.
"What in the name of God did you two do this morning?" She asks chuckling. Hunt burst out in laughter. I feel my cheeks on fire.
"Hunter was grumpy." I joke and feel a hit on my arm.
"Yeah, well, it wasn’t funny." She looks at me with her angry blue eyes. Do they always have to be so goddamn pretty? Her eyes shift to my aunt.
"Apparently, Skylar thinks it’s completely fine to lick my whole face in the morning." Hunt gives me the death stare. My eyes turn to my aunt who’s trying to suppress a laugh. She closes her eyes and bursts out. I shake my head and roll my eyes.
"That explains the angry yelling." Kristen chuckles. I turn to Hunt.
"You didn't have to tell her that," I grumble.
"Yes, I did." She grins.
"Well, then who was the one licking my face afterwa...this is getting too weird." I stop myself and both laugh. I give up. You can't fight Hunt without getting burned. Every time we argue she wins, she really knows how to tease. It’s one of her strong areas and the most annoying one. Still, I can't help but love her.
chapter 73
That is exactly my Point
It's Hunt's birthday today. Unfortunately, it was a school day and I had to go, or dad would’ve killed me after all the skipping I did last year. I swear my knee was shaking like hell from nerves and my heart was beating out of my chest. The day went so slow, I’m not sure if it was a good thing or not. I’m so goddamn nervous to give Hunt her present.
I park the car in the driveway and I sit here watching the door while tapping my fingers on the steering wheel. Since I picked up Hunt's gift, I’ve been so full of excitement. I know Hunt has no interest in things like jewelry or even likes to get dressy, so I decide to buy something simple. Two black rings since it’s her favourite color and I got it engraved. I hope she likes it because I love them. Since it’s not that fancy she’ll not yell at me for spending too much money.
Hunt doesn’t like when I spend too much money or give her anything at all. I remember I bought her a new phone because the one she had was so slow I almost threw it on the ground and jumped on it. She was happy with the new one, but not happy I spent the money on her.
I step out into the cold snow and go inside. The first thing that hits me is Hunt's arms around me.
"Don't ever leave me alone with your aunt, ever again." She says holding me so tightly I can barely breathe. I nod in shock. What in the name of God did Kristen do now? She comes out of the kitchen with a grin.
"What did you do?" I ask and notice flour on her cheek.
"We’re baking." She says blissfully. My eyes widen, and I shake my head.
"Y-you are making a cake?" I ask shocked.
"Yeah, don't look so surprised." She snorts and walks back in. I wrap my arms around Hunt and feel all the worry and tension fade away. It’s been a long day and a hug from Hunt is just what I needed. I breathe her in and she smells good as always, but this time with a hint of vanilla. Hunt moves back, but I’m not letting her go.
"What?" She chuckles. I kiss her on the neck and breathe her in again.
"You smell too good for it to be legal," I mumble on her neck.
"Your aunt gave it to me as a birthday present and sprayed it all over me before I could even react." She sighs, and I chuckle as I kiss her neck again.
"At least she got a taste," I say as I bite her earlobe. Hunt quivers and jumps out my arms.
"Don't do that." She grins and shakes her head. I move my arms around her waist and kiss her cheek.
"Happy birthday," I mumble on her skin.
"Thank you," she says, and I keep kissing her cheek.
"Stop." She cups my face.
"No," I say disappointed and pout. She bites her lower lip and then grins.
"You smell too good for me to even be this far from you," I tell her, and she rolls her eyes.
"You’re just inches away." She laughs.
"That is exactly my point," I say frustrated and take her hands from my cheeks.
"I need help in here!"
"GODDAMMIT, KRISTEN!" I shout so loud Hunt jumps. She bites her inner cheeks and has fury in her eyes. Then she points at her ears.
"I need these two!" She yells.
"Sorry." I apologize.
"I’m not going back in there," Hunt says while shaking her head. Then she gives me the pleading face. Her eyes so soft and when she bites her inner cheeks it makes her look small. She always bites her inner cheeks no matter if she’s angry, sad or like now, begging. I put my hand over my face. I can't watch her looking at me with those innocent eyes.
"No one’s stepping into the kitchen while she’s there," I say and take her hand in mine and lead her up to the bedroom.
chapter 74
That would be too Easy
To my surprise, Kristen's cake was actually pretty good. Probably because of Hunt, I know Kristen isn’t good at baking. After eating, mom and dad gave her their gift, which was a sweater with her favourite band. They asked me if I knew what it was since she listens to music a lot. She has so much I get a little lost in what she likes the most, but I picked the band with her favourite song. Hunt really liked it, and she put it on right away. It was a little too big, but it made her look so cute. I still haven’t given her my gift, I decided to wait when we went to bed.
I sit on the bed playing with my necklace and wait for Hunt to come up. Her footsteps are starting to close in and then she comes in the door with a smile, but tired eyes. Kristen's energy must have taken a lot out of Hunt. She looks at me a little confused now. It's just I struggle to take my eyes off her. Especially since she looks so adorable drowning in her new sweater, the arms are too long, and it makes me bite my lower lip. Then Hunt rolls her eyes and steps over to the bed. She lands face down.
"I’m so tired." She mumbles against the bed. I laugh, but then I feel the bed shaking and hands on my shirt dragging me down. I land in Hunt's arms and she holds me tight. I bury my face in her neck and kiss her. She smells and tastes so goddamn good, I can't make myself stop. My lips make her chuckle and she rolls away as I start to lick her neck.
