Wanting Her (Loving Her Series) (21 page)

             
"I can't, Lacy's downstairs." She steps back out of my splash range.

             
"She’s been here before when we made out." I waggle my eyebrows.

             
"She was drunk. Come on, get out" She giggles when I try to grab at her.

             
I grab a towel and dry off before grabbing a pair of sweats and t-shirt. I walk downstairs, and Preston and Lacy are already eating. I kiss Brooklyn's neck before taking my plate and sitting down. "Lacy wants to talk to you."

             
"Oh yeah?" I say between bites.

             
"My sister Hannah, you know, she lost her husband last year. She's looking to start working again. She has a bachelor's degree in paralegal studies. I was wondering if your Dad's firm is hiring?"

             
"I can ask. She has a kid, right? It's sometimes long hours." I drink the entire glass of orange juice that Brooklyn sat down for me.

             
"She knows. She has a nanny that she hired during the week. Just let me know, and she can go up there and apply and maybe talk to your Dad."

             
I nod. "Sure I'll check into it."

             
"Thanks." She resumes eating.

             
I notice that Preston's been quiet this morning. "What's up, man?"

             
"I heard your parents took the news better than expected." He gets up to rinse his plate.

             
"Yeah, I was a little surprised. What are you up to today?" I get up to follow him to the sink.

             
"Got a date tonight with Tara, you remember her from my party?"

             
I nod. "Yeah. That going good?"

             
"I think so." We continue to chat while the girls wander off into the other room, talking about Hannah and Samuel, which I assume is Hannah’s son.

Chapter 21- Brooklyn

              Landon talked to his Dad about hiring Hannah and luck had it they were in need of a Paralegal. The one they had quit a month ago, so if she wanted it then it was hers. Since she had a degree, she just had to fill out the necessary paperwork, and she was able to start Monday.

             
Preston was out with his new girlfriend Tara, who I met briefly before they left.  I was standing in the kitchen looking over the Chinese menu when Landon came down from our room. Yes 'our' room now. Since we are now public in the relationship, there is no reason to hide. Preston is still a little squeamish about it, but he's getting there, I think.

             
I felt his hands first, then his lips on the side of my neck. "Whatcha doing, babe?"

             
"I'm going to order Chinese. What do you feel like having?" His hands slide around to my belly and started rubbing it.

             
"Just whatever you want is fine." He walks off toward the living room.

             
I place our order and follow him to wait for the food. About twenty minutes later, it arrives. I set up plates on the coffee table so we can watch television while we eat. I dish both our plates full of fried rice, lo mien noodles, and sweet/sour chicken. We eat in silence for a bit, watching some cop show that Landon has started watching. I pick up my plate, taking it to the kitchen to rinse. I leave Landon to his show and walk out to the pool. I lay on the lounger a bit with my eyes closed. My belly is expanding every day, and I seem more tired each day too. I must have drifted off to sleep because the next thing I know, I hear Landon hollering for me. He seems to be in a panic. We nearly collide when we meet at the door.

             
"Babe, where have you been? I thought you went upstairs to bed. You scared me." He's panting like he's run a marathon.

             
"I was tired so I went out next to the pool and must have dozed off. Sorry I worried you." I slip my arms around his middle. "What time is it?"

             
"Time for you to come in and get ready for bed." He grabs me from under my ass and lifts me up. I circle my legs around him as he turns to walk back inside. I kiss under his ear first before moving my kisses along his neck, to the other side. I suck on his left lobe, and he moans. We only make it into the kitchen, and he sets me up on the counter. He pulls my bathing suit cover over my head, tossing it aside. I sit there, allowing him to look at me in my bikini with my small baby bump protruding. I quietly whimper, breaking him out of his trance. "Fuck, babe, I will never not love this body."

             
"Show me." I practically moan. I reach behind me and loosen my string along my back before the string at my neck. Once it's loosened enough, he pulls it off. He bends slowly, devouring my breast with his eyes as he is about to with his mouth. He sucks one nipple in as he massages the other tenderly with his finger and thumb. I lock my legs around his waist, bringing him in tighter. He pops off one nipple to try out the other, while reaching down with his now free hand to test my center. I feel his finger pull my bottoms to the side just at the right spot. He doesn't touch me immediately, making me wait. When I whimper again, he chuckles. I grab his face, pulling him away from my breast to my mouth. We devour each other just as his finger glides between my silken folds. "Oh, Landon," I moan out.

             
"That feel good to my baby's pussy?" I nod as we continue to make love with our tongues. I feel both hands grip my bottoms at the waist. I lift best I can while he slides them down my legs. "I need to kiss this." I nod my head as he slowly, so very slowly, begins kissing my thighs. I squirm a little, silently begging for a release. I almost explode the moment I feel his hot tongue drag up from between my cleft, up to suck my clit into his mouth. He pushes two fingers into my soaked core as he sucks so hard it would be painful if I wasn't on the edge of a cliffhanger. I dangle until I feel his other hand squeeze my left sensitive nipple, and I fall. I scream out his name over and over. He stands up smiling. "God, you sound amazing. The neighbors can probably hear you. I love it."

             
"Landon, shut up and fuck me. NOW." I start pulling at his shorts. He chuckles as he pushes them down his legs. I open my legs, waiting for the most amazing penis ever. I feel it push in slowly. "Harder." I pant as he starts to thrust. "Faster, Landon" We're both panting as his thrusts get more needy.

             
"Oh, Brooklyn. Come on, I'm almost ready." He pants as he circles my clit in fast circles. I explode again, moaning his name as he does mine. Just as we release into our own heaven, we hear the front door open and hear voices. "FUCK." Landon groans, and we're too late. Preston and Tara round the corner before we can disconnect.

             
"MOM!  LANDON! FUCK STOP!" Preston yells. Tara yelps, covering her face.

             
"Sorry." Landon pulls out and grabs his shorts that are wrapped around his ankles, pulling them up first. I cover myself best I can. Preston tosses my cover to me from where Landon threw it before. I slip it on. Preston walks Tara into the living room while we fix ourselves. "Shit, that's embarrassing." Landon chuckles. I hit his chest.

             
"He's home early again," I say as I slide my bottoms back on. I walk into the living room, and Preston and Tara are quietly talking. "Sorry, guys. I'm heading to bed. Goodnight." Landon comes up behind me, circling his arms around my middle. "Yeah, sorry, guys." He chuckles again. I elbow him. "Goodnight." We both turn to leave. I hear Tara ask Preston 'your mom and your best friend?' I giggle when I hear Preston reply 'yeah, that's a long story.'

              The next week, I gather everything from my desk to meet Landon out at the truck for my doctor appointment. When I reach the door, I see through the glass. Dan is talking to Landon next to the truck. Landon has his fist clenched. I see Landon start yelling and Dan backing up in surrender movements. I push open the door and stomp out to them. The moment Dan sees me, he glances at my belly like he's been doing since word got out and quickly moves back toward the building. Landon is pacing and fuming. "What's the matter, baby?"

             
I walk up to him, and he stops in front of me. He points in the general direction of where Dan walked away. "When was the last time you slept with him or anyone else?"

             
"What? Forever ago. You should know that." I grab his hand.

             
"Forever like a few months or a year?" He stands looking away and without touching me, except the hand I'm holding.

             
"Over a year. I swear. What did he say?" Landon looks down at me.

             
"He said this baby could be his or Devin's. That he knew you've slept with him also. Is it true?" His other fist is balled up again.

             
"No. I swear to you. I can even prove it once she's here if you need that piece of mind. It's been a long, long time since I've been with anyone other than you. I love you." He seems to relax and hugs me as I squeeze his middle.

             
"I believe you. I love you too. I think he was trying to get a rise out of me. Let's go." He helped me climb into the truck and turns to walk around to get in himself but stops when he sees Dan smirking outside the door of the building. I see him shake his head before climbing in and starting his truck on a roar.

              The doctor appointment went great, and everything is right on track. Stephanie, Landon's mom, called later that evening to check on the baby. My parents were coming down to visit, and this was my chance to tell them our news. They will obviously see my growing belly. Landon and Preston are both here for dinner to help if any support is needed.

             
I hear the doorbell. "Preston, grab that, it's Gram and Gramps." I hear them chatting to one another. I hear Gram giggle when Landon makes a flirty comment to her. I am standing next to the kitchen island when they come around the corner into the kitchen. They both stop in their tracks when they see me. Instantly their eyes focus on my belly.

             
"Dear, want to explain why your belly is growing?" My mother asks as my Dad just stands there waiting.

             
"Surprise? You're going to be grandparents again." I started to cringe until I hear my mother squeal with delight, running toward me. She hugs me before holding my stomach.

             
"When are you due, and what is it going to be?" She is beside herself with excitement.

             
"December 16
th
, and it's a girl." Mom squeals again. I should have known she would be excited. I'm an only child and only gave them one grandchild so another one will be great to them. My dad is smiling and seems pleased.  Mom was always disappointed when I never gave Preston a sibling after I had gotten a little older and more stable.

             
"I'm so happy for you, sweetheart." She giggles. "Who's the father and are you getting married? I didn't realize you were dating anyone."

             
I stand there shocked. "Um…" I couldn't form any words. I feel someone come up from behind me and put his arms around me. I knew it was Landon just from the warmth of his arms but confirmed when he kisses my temple. My parents look past me in shock. My mom then looks over at Preston. He just shrugs.

             
"Landon is the father?" My mom seems a little confused.

             
I nod. "Yeah, we've been together for over a year. No one knew."

             
"Not even Preston?" my father asks, looking over to Preston eating a grape tomato from the salad.

             
"Not even Preston. Imagine my surprise to find my best friend in bed with my Mom, that was a huge shock." Preston tries his best to chuckle.

             
"Brooklyn? What were you thinking? Landon is Preston's age." She has a worried look on her face.

             
"I know our ages, Mom. It just happened, and we're happy."

             
Mom walks over to Landon and grabs his face. "Well welcome officially to our family, son." She kisses both his cheeks.

             
He chuckles. "Thank you, Ms. Baker."

             
"I don't know what to call me. Gram or Mom or just call me Hillary. Yeah that's good, Hillary." She pats his cheek.
