Unavoidable (28 page)
Authors: Yara Greathouse
“Aww, you brought me a make out present!?”
“Brianna, I am sure it’s supposed to be a making-up present, because I was such a
douche to you yesterday.”
“Yeah, but when you give your girlfriend a make-up present, isn’t it because you want
to end up making out?”
She got me. I decide to lean against the wall and watch her reaction.
“Oh emm gee! This is so cute I can hardly stand it!” She takes out the travel mug,
looks at it and sets it on the dresser. Then she takes out the pocket knife, opens
it and closes it a few times. When she looks up at me she is smiling, then she taps
her nose with the tip of her new knife and all of the sudden she squints her eyes,
her nose wrinkles and she is coming at me with the fucking knife!
I hear a ‘whoomp’ sound and I feel her entire body on me and her hand between my legs.
I open my eyes and ease her away from me softly and slowly only using my index fingers.
I am afraid of what I am going to see.
Once there are a few inches between our bodies, I take a chance and look down. Right
there, between my spread legs, I see the pink camo handle of the knife I had just
gifted her with the hopes of a make-up/make out session. She sunk that knife into
the wall right below my nuts. When I look at her to try to figure out what is going
on, I feel her hand rubbing my cock, and I’ll be damned, even though inside my head
I’m screaming like a little girl, she has managed to awaken
the Beast
. Slowly, I look into her eyes and they are filled with lust and love. She leans
forward towards me so that we are cheek to cheek, I can feel her breath next to my
ear. I can smell her salty skin and her coconut scented hair. I close my eyes and
take it all in. She licks me from the base of my neck, all the way around the edge
of my earlobe. Her tongue continues to trace my jawline and then moves to my lips.
With that simple act, everything that just happened is forgotten and I am ready to
move into other things, but Brianna pushes me back into the wall.
“Colton?”
“Hmmm?”
“If you leave me again for no good reason, I will not miss on purpose. You will be
sporting pierced nuts for sure. Are we clear?”
“You got my attention, Brianna, and it seems there is another part of me that is standing
at attention, waiting for your love and affection.”
“Yeah?”
“Yes.” I grab the zipper of her cat suit and pull it all the way down. I stop for
a second to admire the view.
“White lace. I approve.” We work together to remove the tight clothing covering her.
I carry her to the bed and gently lay her down, covering her body with my own. We
lace the fingers on one of our joined hands, and with my other free hand, I hold her
close to me, cupping her jaw and she pulls gently on my hair.
“Brianna, I am getting ready to prove to you that my love will always and forever
be more than enough. You’ve had me since day one. We are made for each other. You
are my proof that love is real and that it exists. I am a man who did not know what
he wanted in a partner until I met you. You are what I want. You are what I need.
I need your strength to carry me through the day. I need your beauty to remind me
how glorious life can be. I need you to love me unconditionally, because I have never
loved anyone with all that I am and all that I have. Your love teaches me that there
is hope and happiness. I don’t have to be empty inside ever again because I have you
to fill me. You are the ever growing stream that replenishes me daily. You are
all
that I will ever want. Our being together forever is unavoidable.”
She looks at me with happy tears leaking from her eyes.
“Show me, Colton.”
And I do.
Epilogue
Brianna
Three days.
Three days for us to finally hear an update being reported on the news.
It was thought to be a drug deal gone wrong. It helped a lot that Jesse had a bunch
of cocaine and other drug paraphernalia hidden inside his truck. It also helped that
all the casualties were armed and had a lengthy record with various police and federal
agencies.
They played Jesse’s story as a mobster and tried to get interviews with anyone they
could find who had a prior encounter with the Trevino family.
For us it was over. My past had been avenged at last.
“This calls for a celebration! Ciara, please text everyone to come to our place, bring
tons of booze and I’m going to order pizza!”
Ciara nods and walks away to get her phone, I look at Colton and smile.
“It looks like you are happy.” I rub my nose to his imitating an Eskimo kiss.
“I have a reason to be.”
“Yeah? What is that?”
“Well, now that you no longer require so much training at the gym, we can start preparing
for the bedroomlympics.”
“Bedroomlympics? What does that entail?” He gives me a serious look, his eyes gleaming
with mischievousness, and clears his throat.
“It’s the measure of all things
sex
related. Like ‘How long does the strongest orgasm last?’ ‘How far can she spread
her legs?’ We can measure how flexible we really are, and of course, it will take
numerous attempts to get it right. Accuracy is a must.” He smiles and winks at me.
“I think I like this idea. Yeah… I approve. Let’s get started right after I order
the pizza. That will give us at least thirty minutes for the first session.”
“Baby, thirty minutes don’t count. That’s just a quickie. But I’m not picky, a real
man takes whatever he can get as long as you promise a real session after this impromptu
party.”
“I love dealing with a real man!” I throw myself at him and when he gets up from the
couch, I wrap my legs around his waist and my arms around his neck. He carries me
to the bedroom to practice, leaving all thoughts of pizza and celebration forgotten
for now. After all, practice does make perfect.

Thank you for being a true friend.

“Early Readers” –
Sherian Ferguson, Vickie McNabb,
Phillip White, Andi Stubbs, Iraida Rodriguez Oliva -
Thank you for
agreeing to take a look at “Unavoidable” just to let me know if the characters were
likable and if the plot was working. Your opinions were so important at that early
stage and they meant so much to me!
My family –
My husband
Scott
and my son
Sean
, who patiently eat hot dogs more times than they care to, and get super excited on
those nights I am able to pull away from writing in order to cook a decent meal. Thank
you for cleaning the house and doing the laundry. Thank you for waiting on me to be
ready so we can watch “Castle” together, even though sometimes may be two weeks after
it aired. Thank you for not giving up on me and supporting me on this crazy dream.
I love you guys so much! My oldest son,
Ricky
you may live far, but you are not forgotten. I hope you find your path soon. I love
you. My niece
Ciara
, Thank you for allowing me to use your first name and likeness for one of my favorite
characters, and although you two have different personalities, all her good attributes
come from you. <3
Cindy & Mike,
I could not have asked for a better extended family. Thanks for treating my kids like
they were your own.
I also have to thank some very important Indie Authors who have inspired me along
the way:
Abbi Glines
– Your stories and characters inspire me in a way that others don’t. I simply identify
with them and feel like they are my friends. They are likable, they make me laugh,
and sometimes I have cried for them, too. Your work moved me to create characters
that touched people the same way yours did for me. I want to help others forget about
their real world for a few hours at a time. Thank you for being kind, funny and sweet.
Meeting you in person was a dream come true. You have a fan for life.
Michelle Pace
– Thank you for agreeing to be my mentor on all things “Indie” and for always sharing
your honest opinion. Good bad or indifferent, I would not want it any other way.
I love your wit and sarcasm. I admire your work and the different facets you show
- sometimes the result is steamy, other times it’s poetic, but regardless of which
way you go, it is always a great book.
Kathryn Perez
– I admire your strength and conviction. I admire that you will not let the bad guys
back out. Your work has been different from the norm, but it is teaching others about
things that are happening in our society. It is raising awareness and this is important
in my eyes. Thank you for taking a stand. I am honored to be one of your “snowflakes.”
