Breathless Awakening (The Breathless Series) (27 page)

As I looked around, I saw a sign hanging over the workbench. I could have done a much better job making it, but I noticed Zane’s hand in it which read, “Measure twice, cut once.” That brought back so many memories from my childhood, the few good ones I had with our neighbor Bob. That saying was the mantra that he instilled in me. So many things more than just working with wood could pertain when talking about measuring twice. He used to say, “Always think about what you are doing, figure out the best way to do it, and then check yourself before you actually do it. You can’t take anything back once it’s done.”

He may have been a man of few words, but there was always so much depth in his words. Terry saw the smile stretch across my face. “I hope you don’t mind, but Zane wanted to break a few of the tools in. He said, ‘I need to get the cherry on a few of these beauties.’ I figured he deserved it after all the hard work. From the look on your face it was worth letting him.”

“My brother would always try to get the cherry on the new tools. I guess he deserved it this time. I can’t thank you enough for everything. This is all beyond anything I thought I would ever have. How did you know what to get? I mean that with everything inside, you had years to listen to what Cailyn wanted. You both know her so well. Out here though, it’s perfect. How?”

“Honestly, I know how to use a few of these things, but since I didn’t know what was what, I went into the store and put it all on them. I asked them not to completely empty my bank account, but I told them what I was doing and let them put it all together. The space may be a little cramped for now, but I thought maybe you could use this shop to build a bigger one.”

“A bigger one? This one is fine. Where would I put a bigger one?”

“Oh, did I forget to mention that you have two acres of land? Oops.”

“What? I knew the lots were a little bigger than your average neighborhood, but two acres?”

“A good deal of it is off to the side, but you have a little extra behind you as well. There wasn’t enough room to build another street, so all the houses on this side of the street have a deep lot. I wanted to make sure you had enough room though, so I bought that end lot before they could put a house or something else on it. Evidently, they have been trying to get someone to build on it for years, but every time someone bought it they just let it sit. Thought it might give you all a little more privacy.”

We walked back into the house, even though it was hard not to sit down and start building something. I had dreamt about a shop like this for so many years.

Chapter Thirty‐Three

Cailyn

Four Weeks Later

The first few weeks of living together were heavenly torture. Being with Luke every day was heavenly. Dealing with Luke every day was tortuous. The honeymoon was great, spending the time on the beach, doing things together, and doing things to each other. Now that we were back home, dealing with real life, it was an adjustment.

I had never lived with anyone other than my parents. Mom and I always took care of the house, but I had never realized how much more work it would be when it was just me. I guess it made it easier when you had someone to talk to, help you, or to do the things you just really didn’t want to do.

Luke had gone back to work after the honeymoon. He wasn’t really too happy with the job he had, but it paid the bills. He had talked with Daddy about it one night, and Luke was thinking about going to the Police Academy. With his military background, he wanted to continue to serve in some way. Daddy said he would talk to a couple of his colleagues and see what he could do.

Until Luke found something to make him happier, I tried to stay away from him for at least an hour when he got home each evening. Not every evening was bad, but most of the time he was pretty grumpy. I found out rather quickly that trying to make him feel better only made things worse, but given a little space for a while gave him the time to process it. I was worried though that he was just bottling it up inside.

He spent a lot of those evenings in the garage working. Daddy would come over on the weekends to help out, but really all he was doing was keeping Luke company. Seeing the two men in my life bond was one of the greatest experiences in my life. I thought it was funny that Luke was the one teaching Daddy things though. The bar was starting to take shape, but it looked pretty bland to me. Luke kept telling me that it was just the footwork of what it would eventually be. I had faith in him, but all I saw was a big block of wood sitting in the basement.

Luke would be getting home soon. I really wanted tonight to be special so I was hoping he had a good day. At first, we were having sex every night, and most mornings. Here lately though it was starting to not be as often. I was scared that we were starting to drift apart. We never really fought, but the arguments were more frequent. We weren’t even having makeup sex after them anymore. I usually made dinner while he was working in the shop, but tonight I was willing to take the chance.

It wasn’t a big fancy dinner, no candles, or anything like that. I didn’t want him to think I was trying to do anything special. When I heard him walk through the front door, I was ecstatic to hear him say, “Something smells good, and I’m famished.”

As he walked to me in the kitchen, wrapping his arms around me and kissing my cheek, I turned to smile. “It looks like you had a good day today.”

“Well the boss was off so that always makes things better. He left me some projects to do, but I didn’t have him looking over my shoulder the whole time. I was able to just sink into the work and do what needed to be done. I had some time to think also, and I know I’ve been a bit of a jerk lately. I’m sorry, Cailyn.”

“Don’t you worry about that at all. I know there is a lot of stress with that job. You’ll be starting at the Academy soon. Things will get better when you are doing something you enjoy.”

“You mean hopefully I will be starting with the Academy. God, that would make my life so much easier. I’m tired of shuffling papers all day long for these idiots.”

“No, I mean you will be starting soon. Daddy got a call today to let him know they were going to get you into the next class.”

I yelped as Luke picked me up and spun me around. “That’s wonderful news! Why didn’t you call and tell me?”

“Maybe I wanted to be the woman that you picked up and spun around when you found out.”

Luke put me down, but he didn’t let go of me. Pulling me into him, our lips met as his hand slid down to my ass. That one kiss had more passion than any I had felt in the last week. When he finally broke the kiss, leaving my knees weak, I winked at him. “Slow down there, big boy. We’ve gotta have dinner before you get dessert.”

“Well then, what are we waiting for? Let’s eat.”

Luke

Dinner was amazing. The food was good, but I felt like Cailyn had lifted the world off my shoulders with that news. Our life was going to get so much better. As we sat there and ate, I couldn’t help but undress her with my eyes. A week had gone by since we had been intimate at all, but more like two weeks since there was any passion involved. The stress I was bringing home from work was slowly killing me, and I was afraid that it was starting to kill our marriage as well.

I had finished my food and sat there with my chin propped up on my hands. As Cailyn finished up, she stood and grabbed both of our plates. “Would you like some dessert now?”

My hand slid up to her ass, squeezing gently before she could walk away. “That depends, what’s on the menu? We still have a few rooms to break in you know?”

“I broke in the guest room today without you.”

“Oh really? I don’t think so. We’re gonna have to go break that in the right way.”

Cailyn took off running down the hall giggling like a schoolgirl. Chasing after her, I headed to the guest room until I found a trail of her clothes heading up the stairs. I followed the trail, not sure what to expect other than her completely naked since I had seen everything on the floor. Well, except her thong, but that was hanging on our doorknob.

Cracking the door open, I peeked around the corner to see her lying on the bed, her legs spread, and one hand already rubbing her clit. I dropped her clothes on the floor and started to add to the pile with my own. “I think you dropped something out there in your haste.”

As I crawled into bed next to her, I noticed something a little different about her. “Babe, did you do something to your tits? They look different.”

She gave me a look like I was completely crazy. Shrugging my shoulders, I leaned down to take one of her nipples into my mouth. She flinched at the sensation of my tongue flicking across it. “Careful Luke, they’re a little on the sensitive side. Maybe you shouldn’t have left them alone for so long.”

No matter what I tried, licking, sucking, or even blowing across them, Cailyn would let me have nothing to do with those beautiful nipples. My eyes were drawn to them like the forbidden fruit. I wanted so badly to kiss my way down her stomach to that beautiful smooth pussy of hers. It looked like she had taken a little time to get ready for tonight. As much as I hated to admit it, I was going to have to do something about myself. The hair was growing back from the honeymoon, and the itching was starting to drive me crazy.

My lips brushed across her clit eliciting a moan from her. That was more of the reaction I was hoping to get with her nipples. I couldn’t get them out of my mind. Why were they so sensitive? Were her tits getting bigger? Focus, man.

My tongue snaked out between my lips and flicked across her clit. I felt a hand slide through my hair, pulling me into her, and a scream escaped. How long it had been since I had done this? Just a few weeks ago, we were having sex at every opportunity.

Evidently, I wasn’t the only one suffering from withdrawals. Within a couple minutes, Cailyn was bucking her hips, back arching off the bed, legs wrapped around my neck, and a body shivering orgasm raced through her. “Fuck me, Luke! I want to feel you inside of me. Now!”

I wasn’t one to argue so I slid up her body. I couldn’t resist running my tongue across her pert nipple as I passed it. There was a fire in her eye when she grabbed my face and pulled me to her lips preventing me from doing anything else to her breasts. My hand slid down to help position my cock before sliding it deep inside of her.

“Mmm, Cailyn you are so wet. You feel so good wrapped around my cock.”

“Shut up and fuck me, dammit.”

She pulled me back into her for a kiss, but with that angle, I couldn’t give her the rough fucking that she wanted. She realized this after a minute and broke off the kiss. I lifted her legs up, putting one on each of my shoulders, and slammed my cock into her. With each thrust, I saw her mouth open, a soundless gasp slipping out, and her hands balled up in the sheets. I could feel her tightening around me as she reached down from the sheets to dig her nails into my thighs.

I continued to push myself deeper into her as her orgasm flooded through her. The first orgasm slowed allowing her to catch her breath. I pushed her legs off my shoulders, raising her ass off the bed slightly, and slowed my strokes. The angle I was at had her moaning with each thrust.

“Oh my God, Luke, I’m going to come again. Yes! Fuck me!”

Sliding deeper into her, another wave of pleasure flowed through her body milking my cock for every drop I had. I let go of her ankles, her legs sliding around me and resting on my ass. One final thrust from me and I collapsed onto her, kissing her with an exhausted passion. My chest rubbed against her nipples and she pushed me up off her.

“Babe, I think you might want to get those checked out. I’m not going to be able to leave them alone forever.” I laughed to let her know I was joking, but I really felt like I was neglecting a part of her.

I rolled over next to Cailyn to catch my breath. She rolled onto me, her finger tracing shapes on my chest as she listened to my heartbeat. I was lying there trying to think of what we could do for the rest of the evening to celebrate when I realized that Cailyn had fallen asleep.

Chapter Thirty‐Four

Celeste

Over the last month, I had not seen Ryan nearly as much as I wanted to. That boy’s dick left me wanting more every time I had it. I had never felt so full when being fucked. He might as well stick his fist inside of me he was so damn big.

He came down to visit almost every weekend, but through the week, I still had Amber. The two of us were in the middle of playing one night when Ryan called. We ended up pulling up the computer and gave him a show. That has to become pretty common at least once or twice a week.

I don’t know who got turned on by it more. Ryan watching us or the two of us knowing that he was watching. Amber got much more vocal when he was involved no matter if it was on the computer or in person. I loved it.

Ryan should be here any minute. Amber decided to leave for the evening. She wanted him so bad right now, but she was out of commission so there was no need to torture herself watching the two of us. Ryan didn’t know yet though. This was going to be the first time that he had been with just one of us. I had to admit that I was a little excited about the fact that it was me and not her.

Things had started out with him attracted to me, but he quickly found out that we were a package deal. He wasn’t about to complain. We all had to do some adjusting, but we figured out how to control the jealousy of sharing him. When it came down to the end of the day, we both knew that we were taking him to bed.

Ryan walked in, strolling over to me and dropping his bag on the couch next to me. He leaned down and gave me a kiss. “Sorry it took so long. Zane decided to ride down with me to surprise Rhylie. I had to drop him off on the way. Where’s Amber?”

“It’s just me and you tonight, big boy.”

“You think you can handle me on your own?”

Ryan had started getting a little cocky over the past few weeks. Having two women waiting for him anytime he wanted to make the visit would do that to a guy. I still knew how to put him in his place though. Standing up next to him, I pushed him down onto the couch. I slid my shorts down to show him that I had no panties on. As my hand came back up, I rubbed my fingers across my wet pussy, and then slid them across his lips as I straddled him.
