Learning To Love (The Griffin Brothers Book 4) (15 page)

He doesn’t answer but
leans back a little, and when I look down, I see his cock in his
hand. He moves it over my clit and I bow up off the bed. He chuckles
and then turns serious as he places it lower, right at my entrance.
He looks me in the eye as he slowly slides into me.

It hurts. Oh. My. God.
It hurts. I grip his arms and bite my lip so I don’t scream. He
slides all the way in and stops. I see in his eyes that this is
hurting him emotionally as much as it’s hurting me physically. I
try to smile at him and also relax at the same time.

“Do you want me to
pull out? I will. It’s okay.”

I shake my head because
as I’m allowing myself to relax, the pain is subsiding slightly,
and I’m actually feeling a little good with him filling me up. I
slowly move my hips and his eyes widen. “You can move, Luke. It’s
starting to feel good.”

He looks relieved as he
slowly starts to move while he leans back down to kiss me. It really
does feel good, and after a few minutes, I feel myself starting to
build toward a climax. I wrap my legs around him, catching his ass
cheek with one of my heels by accident. He breaks our kiss and hisses
out a breath.

“I’m sorry, Luke.”

“Don’t be. I left
those on for a reason. Dig you heels into me when you come, please.”

That’s hot. Like
really hot. I grab his head and pull him to me, kissing him hard and
thoroughly. I also start bucking up under him as I feel myself get
closer. It spurs him on like I want, making him move faster. It’s
not long before our mouths are muffling my scream. I do as he asks
and dig my heels into him, which makes him stiffen, and then he’s
the one bucking into
me.
When we both stop shaking, he pulls out and collapses next to me. He
pulls me into his side and rains little kisses all over my face. “Are
you okay?”

“Yeah. I mean, it
hurts a little down there, but I expected some pain. I didn’t
expect to feel so good, though. I had hoped it would, but it was
pretty amazing.”

“Thank you, Ollie.”

“I’m the one who
just came twice. I think you’re the one who deserves the thanks.”

“I told you
before—I’m not counting and I never will. But you just gave me
the best, most beautiful gift you had. It means everything that you
chose me to give it to.”

“I’m glad it was
you, too, but stop being so sappy and sweet or I’m going to cry.”

“God, I’m turning
into a fucking girl, aren’t I?”

“You’re definitely
not a girl. You’ve just been very considerate of my feelings and
not wanting to hurt me. I appreciate it, but I’m not going to break
if you’re not acting super romantic. I promise. Just be yourself,
Luke.”

“You seem to bring
out this other side of me I never knew was there. But now that we’ve
done this and I know you’re fine, I think I may not be able to hold
back and be so gentle sometimes. Be prepared for dominant Luke to
come out and fuck you hard all night long. I’m not over being sweet
for tonight yet. I need to take care of you a little longer, so stay
right here for a few minutes.”

“I don’t think I
can move on my own anyway.”

“You’re that hurt?”

“No. I’m in a semi
coma from all those orgasms. Stop worrying and go do whatever you
need to. Oh, and I can’t wait for you to fuck me hard all night.”

“I’ll be back, sexy
woman.”

He goes into the
bathroom and I hear him turn on the water. It sounds like he’s
filling the bathtub. That would actually feel good right now. My
legs, and well, other parts of me, are sore. But it’s worth it.
Yeah, it hurt, but then it was pretty awesome.

The water turns off and
Luke comes back into the bedroom. He scoops me up into his arms and
carries me into the bathroom. I was right—it was the bathtub. There
are bubbles and it smells fruity. He sets me into the tub and then
stands up.

“You’re not coming
in?”

“Not this time. You
need to relax and soak. I’ll be back.”

“Don’t you want me
again?”

“Please, Ollie. I
told you before that I’m only human. Of course I want you again,
but you’re sore.”

“Just a little.”

“If we do it again, I
think it’ll be worse. I promise to make love to you again tomorrow
night and then the night after. If you’re honestly not sore by the
day after that, I would love to spend my last day off in bed with you
all day and night.”

I sigh and stop
pouting. “Thank you for being so considerate. You’re probably
right.” He raises an eyebrow at me. “Okay, you’re definitely
right. And as for the day and night thing, I’m definitely in as
long as you agree to take me all over whoever’s apartment we’re
in, and not just the bed.”

“You’re welcome,
and I think I can manage that. It’ll be a hardship, but I’m
nothing if not considerate.”

“Hardship? Really?”
I splash some water on him as he laughs and backs towards the door.

“Nope. Not at all. It
will be my
pleasure
to pleasure you in every room. I’ll be back in a little bit. Enjoy
your bath.”

I smile and sink into
the bubbles. I really do love that man.

Luke

I strip the bed and put
my pants back on before taking the sheets down to the laundry room. I
know I’ll find extras there to make the bed back up. There wasn’t
much blood, but I want us to sleep on nice, clean sheets tonight.

I get the sheets into
the washer and head back through the kitchen with the new ones.
“Hello, Luke.”

I stop short and take a
deep breath. “Shit, Candi. You scared the hell out of me.”

“You’re changing
the sheets.”

“Yeah.”

“Is she alright?”

I turn to look her in
the eye. “Yes, she is. She’s taking a bath right now.”

“How about you?”

“Me?”

“Yes, you. You just
had to cause the woman you love physical pain. I can’t imagine that
was easy.’

“It wasn’t, but
she’s okay, so I’m good now. Thanks for thinking of me.”

“I always think of
you, Luke. Don’t you know that? You’re not only going to be my
child’s uncle, you’re one of my best friends.”

“I
do
know that. You’re one of my best friends, too.”

“Her family’s not
going to take this thing with the two of you well, you know.”

“I really don’t
give a fuck.”

“She’s never really
stood up to them before. I hope she’s strong enough now to do it
for you.”

“I hope so, too.”

“Go back up there and
take care of her. Your love makes her stronger.”

“I will. Her love
makes me stronger, too.” I lean over and kiss her on the cheek
before heading back upstairs.

I stop in my room to
take a shower and throw on some clean briefs. Then I go back to
Olivia’s room and make her bed. When I walk into the bathroom,
she’s asleep in the tub. I gently pick her up and she stirs. “I
have to dry you off before I put you to bed. Can you stand for a few
minutes?”

“Mm-hmm. Thanks,
Luke.”

“You’re welcome.”

I put her down and then
dry her off. When I’m done, I carry her to bed and put her under
the comforter. She’s fully awake when I stand back up. “You took
a shower.”

“Yep.”

“And changed the
sheets.”

“I did.”

“You’re going to
stay with me, though. Right?”

“I’m not leaving
unless you want me to, Ollie.”

“I don’t. I want
your arms around me while I sleep.”

“Hopefully I don’t
snore or toss and turn when I sleep,” I tell her as I take off my
briefs and get into bed with her.

“You don’t know?”

“Nope.” At her
confused look, I tell her, “I’ve never slept with anyone before.”

“Oh. Wow. I’m your
first.”

“That you are.”

“Thank you for
letting me be your first, too.”

“You’re welcome. I
love you, Ollie.”

“Love you too, Luke.”
I cuddle her into me, and we’re both asleep in minutes.

I’m having one of the
best fantasies ever. Olivia has me in her mouth and I’m about to
come. I wake up just in time to realize it’s not a dream as I’m
coming in her mouth. “Ollie. Holy fuck.”

She licks her lips when
I’m done and smiles up at me. “Good morning, Luke.”

“Hell, yeah, it is.
It’s your turn now. Come here, wicked girl.” I reach for her, but
she dodges me.

“Nope. That
was
my turn. I wanted my cock, and you said I could only have it inside
me once a day, so I took matters into my own hands. Literally.”
She’s smirking, and I’m getting hard again already.

“Your cock?”

“Is it not my cock?”

“Oh, it most
definitely
is.
I’m
just not used to anyone other than me claiming it as their own. I
kind of love hearing it from you, though.”

“Good. Because I love
owning it.”

“Now that the
important business of my cock ownership has been settled, can I
please kiss you?”

“If you insist.”

We kiss and make out a
little, but don’t go too far. Olivia really wants to see some
tourist places since she’s never been to L.A. before, so we have to
head out soon. We’re both excited for the game tonight. She’s
never seen an NHL game live, and I can’t wait to see Gabe Maguire
in action again.

We visit all the places
my girl wants to see and then meet everyone for dinner at The Grove
before the game. Yasmin’s friend, Lita, coordinated the events at
the Barnes & Noble there, and she joins us at La Piazza for some
lasagna. Candi and Olivia go off and whisper for a few minutes, but
I’m guessing it’s about work, so I don’t bother asking. After
dinner, we all split up again.

The energy at the
Staples Center is crazy. Olivia’s in her jersey and I’m in a
Vortex t-shirt. Since we’re not the home team, we get more than a
few glares. I’m too excited to care, though.

The game goes into
double overtime and the Vortex end up taking it 3-2. Maguire scored
the second goal and assisted on the last one. I’m totally pumped
when the final shot is scored. I grab Olivia and kiss her hard. She
kisses me back just as eagerly. She was yelling and cheering almost
as loud as me throughout the game.

As we’re walking
towards the doors, Olivia grabs my hand and pulls me down a corridor.
“Umm, honey, I don’t think we should be down here. This looks
like the way to the locker rooms.”

Sure enough, a guard
comes around the corner just then. He stops us, but Olivia pulls out
some type of badges and he lets us go. “To answer your question, it
is
the way to the
locker rooms. We have all access badges.”

“What? Where did you
get those?”

“Candi shot an ad for
a friend of the Vortex owner last year. I asked her to call and see
if she could get you in to meet Gabe Maguire. He’ll be out to see
us after his post-game interviews.”

“Seriously? You are
the best girlfriend ever. I mean it. This is just…awesome. Thank
you so much.”

“You’re welcome.
And I’ll happily accept that title.”

“It’s all yours,
Ollie.”

I sweep her into my
arms for another kiss. I can’t believe she did this. But, then
again, I can. She’s just that amazing.

We wait outside the
locker room and Gabe comes out. He signs my t-shirt and Olivia’s
jersey. He also takes pictures with us. He’s really cool and even
gives me a few tips because he heard that I play in the hockey
league. When we get back to the house, I make love to Olivia again.
This is without a doubt the best 24 hours of my life.

Olivia

We got home two days
ago, and true to his word, Luke made love to me only once that night.
When I told him I wasn’t sore at all the next morning, all bets
were off. We spent yesterday in bed. And against the wall. And on the
couch. And in the shower. So pretty much everywhere. We both passed
out in the middle of the night. I’m mildly sore this morning, but
it’s a glorious kind of soreness.

“Good morning,
Ollie,” Luke whispers in my ear. “I wish I didn’t have to go to
work today.”

“Me too.”

“You can stay here as
long as you want. I’ll give you a spare key. You can keep it if
you’d like to. That way you can come over whenever you feel like
it.”

“A spare key? That’s
serious.”

“I’m
very
serious about you. Did I not make that clear?”

I smile at him. “You
did. I’d like to give you a key as well. We can take turns at each
other’s places maybe.”

“Sounds like a plan.
So, here or your place tonight?”

“How about my place?”

“Perfect. I’ll stop
here and grab some clothes after school lets out and then see you
around 5.”

I lie in bed for a
little longer after he leaves and then head over to Candi’s studio.
She’s about to stop working, but she said she has things for me to
do while she’s getting ready for the baby and after. I’m so
excited for the baby. Yasmin and Luke are going to be the godparents,
although Candi’s told us we’re all responsible for making sure
Owen doesn’t rub off too much on the baby. Especially if it’s a
boy. She’s joking of course—she loves Owen like crazy. We’re
having a shower for her next week while the guys are playing poker.
It’s going to be at Chloe and Ryan’s house. This will be the
first thing Chloe has hosted since the house they designed together
was finished, and I’m sure it will be insanely cool.

I walk into the studio
where Owen and Candi are talking. “Hi guys.”

“Hi, Liv.” Owen
comes over and gives me a kiss on the cheek before heading to his own
studio. “I’ll leave you two to your girl talk.”

“We have work talk,
Owen,” I tell him.

“Uh-huh. Sure.”

I look back at Candi
with one eyebrow quirked. “Why does he think we’re not going to
talk about work?” I go over and sit next to her on the couch.
