Brothers Black: Wyatt the Heartbreaker (16 page)

Chapter Twenty Five

Nellie

“You two are so adorable,” my mother smiles at Wyatt and me as we sit around the fire pit.

Steve added the glassed-in covered outdoor space right when we first moved out here. It boasts a fire pit, glass fireplace, grill, hot tub, and bar. It has always been where the three of us would lounge around when Mom was up to it.

I have been curled up in Wyatt’s lap since we finished dinner. He won’t let me out of his arms. I have done my best to put a smile on my face, but I won’t lie. Having Wyatt’s arms around me has done a lot to keep me sane.

I have no clue why I was so nervous for Wyatt to meet mom. He has charmed her just like he does everyone else. She was never this warm to Barry, which makes me wonder if Steve was the only one that didn’t like him.

I haven’t heard or seen my mother smile this much in so long. That too has brought a smile to my face. My heart hurts for Steve. I have always known that he loves Mom, but the look in his eyes tells just how much this is tearing him apart.

“We hope to make a beautiful married couple like you and Steve someday soon,” Wyatt says with a megawatt smile.

I can’t believe how bright Mom’s face gets with his words. It is like she takes on new life and she is glowing. My heart can’t help but swell a little more with love for this man.

“So is that your way of asking for her hand,” Mom teases with her big bright smile.

“Yes, Ma’am I guess it is,” Wyatt responds.

My head snaps up off his chest and I look at him with wide eyes. I know he has mentioned marriage and I know he moves at his own pace, but I am still a little taken back. Wyatt locks eyes with me and cups my face.

“She is the air I breathe. I want to make her my wife,” Wyatt says to my mom, but he never takes his eyes off me.

“Well, it is only your first night here. I will reserve my blessing for a bit, for now,” Mom says with a little smirk.

“Fair enough,” Wyatt nods and returns my mother’s smile.

“Steve, Baby, I think I have pushed as far as I can tonight. You kids enjoy the rest of the evening while us old folks tuck in,” Mom says.

It kills me when I have to watch as Steve lifts Mom’s frail body from her seat. I noticed after dinner that she wasn’t moving around too easily. Earlier, before leaving the apartment, Steve had pleaded with me not to make a fuss. He said Mom really didn’t want us to treat her any differently.

It is so hard not to while seeing her look this way, but I grit my teeth and bare it. I am lost in thought when Wyatt kisses the top of my head and stands, placing me in the chair he had been occupying. I wordlessly watch him as he puts out the fire in the pit and turns to lift me into his arms once again.

Without a word, he carries me down the stairs of the back patio, and across the yard to the garage. He remains silent as he takes us into the apartment and moves to the bedroom. Once in the room, he doesn’t turn on the light but uses the light from the moonlight and flood light outside to undress me.

Once I am undressed, he lifts me again placing me under the covers and sheets. Next he removes his clothes and climbs in the bed next to me, pulling me into his chest. His strong arms fasten around me and I bury my face in his chest.

Wyatt places his chin on the top of my head and he releases a deep breath. “It’s just you and me now. Let it all out. I’ve got you,” he murmurs into the dark. “I may not know how much it hurts, but I know it hurts a hell of a lot. So you take what you need, Baby, and let go.”

And I do exactly that. I cry so hard we both shake with my tears. I cry because I know I am losing my mom. I cry because there is nothing I can do. No one I can fight to save her, no remedy I can offer, no words that will make it go away. All I can do is watch it happen. I cry because I have finally found happiness, but I won’t be able to share all of the wonderful things in my life with the one person that is so important to me.

Wyatt

Nellie has finally exhausted herself and is now sleeping on my chest as little snores escapes her lips. My soul bleeds for her. If I could beat the shit out of her ex all over again, I would. I know that had she never run from him we wouldn’t be together, but she would have had precious time with her mother, time that she will never get back.

I saw the look on Steve’s face when Nellie spoke of staying and not knowing how long she would need to be here. What my baby doesn’t get is that this week is a gift and any time beyond that will be a blessing. She was right on the plane. We made this trip at the right time and for a reason.

I have known Steve for a long time and I have never seen him like this. Not even after he divorced his first wife. He is a great guy and although I hadn’t made it back for his wedding to Nellie’s mom, I had been happy to hear he had found someone and was happy.

I couldn’t imagine having to sit back and watch the woman in my arms waste away, knowing there is nothing I can do. I would fight the devil himself to save Nellie. The day she takes her last breath I know in my soul, mine will be soon to follow. Each tear she has shed tonight called to one of my own.

Nellie’s biological father hasn’t been in contact with her since her parents divorced. Though I see that Steve sees her as if she were his own daughter, her mother is all she has left. I think of the way my family has pulled her into the fold and how she has clung to them as well since being in L.A. and I know she is going to need the support of her new family through this, she and Steve both.

I sigh knowing there is nothing I can do tonight other than hold her. Tomorrow, however, I have some calls to make and things to get in order. “I’ve got you,” I murmur against her temple before drifting off to sleep.

Chapter Twenty Six

Nellie

“I like him,” Mom says as she sits curled up on the couch. She looks so small and fragile.

Wyatt and Steve took off to give Mom and me some alone time. We have been here for three weeks already and time seems like it is moving so fast. Mom doesn’t look like she is getting any better or any worse, but she looks happy. Tired, maybe, but happy.

“I love him,” I giggle.

“I know you do. I can see it in your eyes. I wasn’t sure about you dating him when you first told me. I’d heard so much about him and his brothers, but to see with my own two eyes the way he is with you. I know you two were made for each other,” Mom smiles.

“Yeah, he is Nothing like what I expected either,” I admit sheepishly.

“You have always been reckless with that heart of yours. So shy, but so eager to love,” Mom muses. Her face brightens and she leans forward. “We should go dress shopping.”

“Dress shopping,” I wrinkle my brows at her. “For what?”

“For your wedding gown silly,” Mom rolls her eyes.

“Isn’t that bad luck or something? He hasn’t even asked,” I frown.

“Oh please, I’m surprised he let you out of his sight today. The man is so in tuned with your every move. I watch the two of you breathe in sync. In his mind, you are already his wife. Trust me, we can go shopping,” Mom says with a knowing smile.

“When do you want to go? Can I think about it,” I ask biting my lip and wrinkling my nose.

“I feel great today. I think we should go,” she replies tossing off the throw she had wrapped around her shoulders. “I know the perfect place. I have always dreamed of this day.”

Hearing those last words and seeing the sparkle in her eyes, I know that this is what I want too. In the back of my mind, I know this is most likely my only chance at having this opportunity so I help her into my car and we are off to the bridal shop.

Wyatt

Steve and I weren’t expecting both Nora and Nellie to still be awake when we returned. We had stayed out late intentionally to give them time to themselves. However, when we arrive at the house the lights are still on and we can hear laughter as we enter the foyer.

It’s a beautiful sound since things have been a little tense since we arrived. There has been an elephant in the room since Steve revealed what has really been going on. I’ve held Nellie every night as she has cried out her feelings over what is lurking closer with every day.

“Hey, there you guys are,” Nora says with a bright smile as we enter the living room.

Nellie is lying with her head in her mother’s lap as her mother combs her fingers through Nellie’s soft curls. I look over to Steve, who leans against the doorjamb with a smile softening his face. Once again I feel for him as much as I feel for Nellie. This must be so hard.

“You ladies seem to be having a good time,” Steve replies first.

“Maybe we should have stayed out a little longer,” I tease.

“Oh no, if you two would have stayed out any longer I think Mom would have sent out a search party,” Nellie laughs. She stands and walks over to wrap her arms around my waist.

“Hello gorgeous,” I say as I stare down through her cute glasses into her beautiful brown eyes that are framed by her long sexy lashes.

“Hello handsome,” she purrs and lifts up on her toes to peck my lips.

“What did you ladies get up to today,” I ask as I rock her in my arms.

“Just a little shopping,” Nellie replies with a sly smile on her face.

“Oh really,” I lift a brow. I lean into her ear to whisper. “Did you get anything for me to enjoy?”

“Maybe, maybe not,” she purrs and winks at me.

I peck her lips and nuzzle her neck. She feels so good in my arms and this is the most relaxed she has been in days. I give her a gentle squeeze that says all the things I can’t say out loud right now, including how proud I am of her.

“Steve, I think that is our queue. We’ll have to let our son in law to be, get some time with his girl,” Nora teases.

I lift my head to look at Nora and lift a brow. “Does that mean that we have your blessing,” I ask with a huge smile taking over my face.

She winks at me. “You’re getting there.”

Steve chuckles and slaps me on the back. I shake my head as Steve wraps his arm around Nora’s waist so that he can lead her up to their room for the night. Nora stops as they get to the foot of the stairs and turns to look back at us.

“Nellie,” she calls, causing Nellie to turn from me and look at her. “No matter what, you always make sure your man goes to bed happy.”

Nora lets her words hang in the air as she gives Nellie a pointed look. Nellie blushes and laughs, shaking her head at her mother. “Okay Mom, your point is well taken,” Nellie replies.

When she turns back to me, I lift a questioning brow, wondering what Steve and I may have walked in on. Nellie just smiles up at me and slides her hands up my back. I narrow my eyes at her as my cock starts to stiffen with her touch.

We haven’t had sex since we left L.A. Not that I am complaining. Nellie needs me in other ways right now. However, looking into her eyes right now, I see the same heat that sets my blood on fire for her in between the sheets.

“Let’s get out of here,” she whispers.

“You don’t have to tell me twice,” I chuckle, reaching for her hand and leading her out of the house and to the apartment we have been sharing since we have been here.

Nellie turns to me once we are inside the apartment and gives me a sweet little smile with hot lust behind it. I bite my lip as I move to close in on her. Nellie lifts a hand to hold me off, placing it against my chest.

I stop looking down at her curiously. Without a word she moves her hands to my belt buckle and releases it. Her delicate hands go to tug my shirt over my head next. I assist her with getting it up and off of my body tossing it to the floor.

“Shoes,” she pants as she releases the button on my jeans and pulls down the zipper.

I oblige her right away, toeing off both shoes. I kick my jeans to the side as they fall to my ankles. Nellie kneels before me to help me push off my socks. I am rock hard, about to push through my boxer briefs. Nellie looks up at me through her lashes and licks her lips.

My cock jerks at the sight. I cup her left cheek and run my fingers across her silky soft skin. She nuzzles her face into my palm and I smirk at how adorable she looks right now. She palms my cock and all thoughts of adorable float out of the window.

She gives me a knowing smile and lifts to her feet. Wordlessly, she grabs my hand and leads me into the bedroom. I don’t take my eyes off the sway of her hips as she leads me forward. Right now she could lead me off a cliff and I would go willingly, not knowing the damn difference.

She leads me to the bed and pushes me down onto the foot of the mattress. I let out a husky chuckle, reaching for her waist, but she wags a finger at me and steps back.

“Lie back, I’ll be right back,” she orders and I do as she commands.

Nellie moves over to the dresser where we unpacked our things for our stay. She reaches in for something, but I don’t get a look at it. Blowing a kiss my way over her shoulder she sways her hips as she walks into the bathroom. I fall back against the bed looking up at the ceiling.

I have a million things on my mind. Steve and I had a few reasons for wanting to give Nellie and her mom time together. For one, I wanted Steve to be straight with me about how much time Nora really has. I close my eyes as I think of Steve’s strained words.

“I love that woman with my entire being. I would trade places with her if I could,” He choked out. “I’ll be honest with you. Nellie has come just in time to say her goodbyes. Nora is putting on the best show she can, but she is hurting, Son, physically and emotionally.”

I close my eyes and pray that I have time. I just need a little more time. I let the stress roll away the moment I feel her in the room once again. I will be strong for my angel.

I lift up on my elbows and have to gulp down some air. Nellie is standing before me in a tiny black lace teddy. Her nipples are pressing against the delicate fabric that is barely covering her tits. Her legs are bare and look like chocolate silk.

I am ravenous for her with just one look. She walks to the bottom of the bed where I am and stands between my legs. My love for this woman has no end. I bite my lip and look into her eyes, wishing she didn’t take her glasses off. She is no less breathtaking without them, but I do enjoy taking her to ecstasy with those innocent looking glasses on her face.

“Do you know how beautiful you are,” I ask as I sit up and wrap my arms around her waist. Placing a kiss to the bare skin on her belly that is peeking out from the lace, I let my hands explore the skin of her bare back.

I flick my tongue into her belly button and feel her shiver in my arms. On instinct, her fingers lock in my hair.

“Wyatt,” Nellie moans and it is music to my ears.

I have just started my assault on her soft sexy body. I reach between her legs from behind and she spreads her legs a little wider for me, as far as my legs caging her in will allow. I slip my fingers beneath the soaked fabric of the thonged teddy, running them over her wet folds.

Nellie whimpers, causing a smile to curl my lips. “Please,” she gasps out.

“Please what? Do you want me to touch you, do you want my fingers inside you,” I rasp.

“Yes, please,” she moans as I find her clit and pinch it.

She moans and I groan as she rocks her hips slightly. I plunge two fingers into her heat, moving my mouth to her lace covered nipple and drawing it into my mouth. Her fingers claw through my scalp and down the back of my neck.

I growl against her breast. Her fingers anchor in my shoulders, causing my blood to overheat in my veins. I don’t think I can draw this out as long as I would like. I can smell her sweet pussy and it is making my mouth water.

I pump my fingers into her harder and faster, making circular motions with my thumb around her clit. I move to the other breast and pull her nipple into my mouth through the lace and bite down on it. Nellie convulses in my arms and her core gushes all over my fingers.

I tighten the arm I have around her so she doesn’t slump to the floor. I pull my drenched fingers from her folds and pop them into my mouth. I look into her face and see it is compressed with lust as she bites her lip and moans at the sight of me enjoying her nectar.

I love the sexy dazed look on her face. In one swift move, I flip her onto the mattress. I cover her body with mine and devour her mouth. She moans at her taste on my lips and tongue. I nearly growl when she sticks her small hands into the back of my briefs pushing them off of my ass.

She hooks her toes into them to push them the rest of the way down my thighs. My beast is foaming at the mouth to get inside her. I smile when my heavy erection bounces against her belly. Nellie releases a sexy ass moan before reaching to wrap her fingers around my shaft.

Her hands are soft as silk as they slide up and down my steel pipe. I am always so hard for her, just like she is always so fucking hot and wet for me. I lose focus for a beat as she strokes me.

“I want to suck it,” she moans and I am thrown.

Nellie is not usually vocal during sex when it comes to her desires. I usually have to read her or coax her to tell me what she wants, that or she gets vocal when I am giving it to her really good and she is close to the edge. I love that her inhibitions are melting more and more.

My cock jerks hard in her hand as if he is answering her, begging for her to make good on her request. I roll to my back, placing my hands behind my head. Nellie lifts to get on all fours and crawls to my side. She reaches for my cock wrapping her palm around it.

I hiss out a breath as she thumbs the precum, spreading it around the head. I almost lose it when she looks back up at me and sticks her thumb in her mouth, sucking on it and moaning.
So fucking hot. She has to know she is driving me crazy.

“Shit baby, you keep that up I won’t last at all,” I groan.

She just gives me a coy smile before palming my cock again and lowering her head to wrap her lips around it this time. My back bows off the bed as she does this fluttering thing with her tongue while bobbing up and down on my shaft.

“Fuck, oh shit,” I growl out when I feel my cock hit the back of her throat. “Baby, shit, damn it, Nel.”

She giggles around a mouth full of my cock and I can’t take it any longer. I lock my fingers in a hand full of her curls and tug. I slip from her mouth with a pop.

Sitting up, not releasing the hold I have on her hair, I reach for her thigh and pull her to straddle my lap. Reaching between her legs I rip the crotch out of the teddy she has on. I waste no time plunging into her wet, warm, tight pussy.

She throws her head back and cries out. “Oh, oh Wyatt, you feel so good,” she says breathlessly.

“I want you so much,” I groan placing my hands on her waist and guiding her hips.
