He smirked and shoved my hand away. “I just need you to get better.” He took off his t-shirt and jeans and got into bed next to me. “So I can fuck your brains out without worrying they’ll leak out through your ears.”
“And the moment is ruined,” I grumbled.
“Ssh,” he pulled me against his side. Hudson Kelley was a big cuddler. He’d never admit it.
“Stop shushing me.” I pinched his side, making him flinch. “And let me suck your dick.”
“I don’t think I’ve ever been asked quite so nicely,” he laughed.
“I wasn’t asking,” I smarted back at him.
“Really?” he leaned up on one elbow and looked down at me. “You want to suck me off, Wave?”
God, the way he asked that question had my core clenching.
“You think you can let me fuck your mouth and you won’t want something in return?”
“I don’t give to receive.”
“Tell me, Waverley,” he pressed his face to mine, ran his nose up and down the side of mine, then kissed the edge of my mouth, his tongue flicking out to lick my lips. I chased after his lips, but he pulled away. “How wet are you for me right now?”
I flopped on to my back when he gave me a triumphant smile. “I can’t believe I’m begging to suck you off,” I grumbled.
“I can,” he said with a dark laugh. “It was only a matter of time.”
“You aren’t the winner here.” I sat up, looking down at him with his hands behind his head. “Let’s not forget it was you who broke first.”
“Is that so?”
“Er, yeah. I seem to recall you attacking my mouth down on the construction site.”
“Was that what it was…your mouth?”
I blushed and he could see it because the lamp was still on. But he was right. I was so hot for him, I wasn’t sure I wouldn’t push him for more. But I was determined to prove he was wrong. So I slid down the bed and pulled away the covers.
“Wave,” he warned.
“Ssh,” I gave him a smirk, then pulled his boxers away from his waist, his dick springing up and slapping his hard stomach.
“Never said I didn’t want you,” he remarked when he saw how I was looking at him like I was the one in the right, holding all the control. “Just that it isn’t a good idea, because if you touch me, I will need to touch you back.”
“Maybe I’ll suck you so good you won’t be able to,” I said, grabbing him and lowering my mouth to lick his tip. I reveled in the hiss that escaped him and the jolt of his hips.
“Sounds like a challenge,” he groaned as I sucked him into my mouth.
“Just sit back and shut the fuck up.”
And he did. And I made him come so hard he lay on the bed panting and hardly able to move. I curled up next to him. I admit, I was desperate for a release. I would give anything to roll under him right now, but I would not risk my health. I could deal with this. It wasn’t like we had gone from zero to a million in less than a week. I kept telling myself that as I drifted off next to him.
Chapter 24
When I woke up, Hudson was gone, but he had left me another of his t-shirts, this one I remembered from when we were kids. He’d been obsessed with Guns N Roses back then and it had the classic crucifix logo with the skull versions of the band members. It was more grey than black from all the washes it had undergone. The colors faded on the Appetite for Destruction logo, but it was soft, and it smelled like him when I pulled it on over a pair of shorts to head downstairs.
I tucked my phone into my pocket. I’d deleted Declan’s messages, but I’d had to call my boss a couple of days ago and I’d made the tough decision to tell him I didn’t know when I would be back. I told him I’d be available if he needed me when I returned, but he was pissed off about being left in the lurch and was noncommittal to my suggestion.
The more time I was here, the more time I was spending with Hudson, Connor, and my brother, the more I was feeling at home. Hudson had come as a complete surprise. He hadn’t been quiet about hating the fact I was home or trying to do everything he could to make my time here miserable, the minute we admitted there was more that we hadn’t known after that night, he’d changed into a completely different person.
Well, around me. He was still a scary asshole to the rest of his brothers, and I knew he was still the enforcer in training. They all still went off to their meetings and the secrecy around club business was maintained, but with me, it was like he had reverted to the guy I’d been in love with all those years ago.
