Page 68 of Awakening the Beast
I glance over at Lil with Jasper, noticing how she is wrapped around him, giggling while they float in the waves.
“It seems so.” I murmur.
“Babies soon then.” He says casually and I look at him quickly, raising an eyebrow.
“Do you every stop thinking about reproductive activities?”
A small grin tugs at the corner of his lips, his dark gaze moving down to my cleavage as his hand takes a handful of my bikini bottoms.
“You know me better than that.” He growls, giving them a swift yank until they’re wedged up my ass crack.
A squeak escapes me, accidently waking Lumi and he chuckles as I adjust my briefs. He raises his arm, removing it from around my back and he lifts her, perching her to sit upright on his chest. Her brown eyes sleepily open as she focuses on us both and my insides melt. I collect her summer hat, placing it on her head, shielding her tired eyes and we both stare at her for some time, taking in our little creation as she makes noises and smiles.
“Lil mentions she wants me to go to this meal to meet Jaspers mom next weekend.” I say without taking my eyes off Lumi.
Arlo lifts her and positions her in my arm as I’m turned on my side, knowing it’s feeding time. He turns on his side, resting on his elbow as well, facing us, I peer down, freeing my breast and she feeds instantly. With her fist clenched tight around my necklace, I lift my eyes to Arlo.
“Will you come? You don’t have to, of course.”
He shrugs a shoulder, “You have to understand, Wren. Would you want to meet the woman who hurt your Mom?” he asks.
I stay silent, thinking about it and I completely understand what he’s saying, how can’t I? But this isn’t about that, or the past, this is about Lil, and me supporting her as a sister.
“I understand,” I say gently.
“But I will if I don’t have work. You know what it’s like on weekends.” He retorts, still trying which I appreciate.
I reach out, placing my hand on his cheek. “Of course.” I smile and he leans in, giving me a couple of kisses on my lips before placing one of Lumi’s head.
“Time to see how your brother is doing with his fort.”
I smile as I watch him get up and stroll toward Cree who is still working hard. When Lumi is fed and had a diaper change, I lift her and take her over to all the sandcastles, and I sit her between my legs as we attempt to make some as well.
Early in the morning, I am in the shower, wrapped around Arlo’s waist as he fucks me against the soaked shower wall. My back slides up and down the slippery surface, my tits bouncing against his wet chest as he rails his entire length into me. Our panting lips lightly graze as we stare into one another’s eyes and my moans grow louder with each stroke.
His eyes suddenly flash with something unsettling. He growls in frustration as he shifts me, slamming my back against the steamy, glass panel, knocking the air out of me. He latches onto the top for more leeway with his hands and starts to attack my mouth hungrily. His thrusts become stronger, more demanding, striking the deepest depths of my pussy. I can feel the tension in his movements, in his muscles, he’s stressed, and he is taking it out on me.
He reaches down with one hand, his fingers bite into my ass, pinching and causing me immense pain, but I take it. When we both finally shatter, he presses his forehead into the crook of my neck, groaning while his cock titches and swells inside me, releasing his cum. As my pussy beats around him, my bodyjerking, I throw my head back on the glass, closing my eyes, trying to control my breathing.
As soon as he finishes, he lowers me to my feet. I watch as he gives himself a wash, then gets out. I stand under the water, finishing off, but observe him carefully as he stares at himself in the mirror, rubbing his brown hair with a towel. Once I’m finished, I tiptoe, turn the shower off and step out. Moving toward him from behind, our eyes meet in the mirror until I stop beside him. I wrap a towel around myself, tucking it in, then reach for my toothbrush.
“Stressed, baby?” I ask while not looking at him.
He remains silent as he continues to rub his hair and when he’s ready to answer, he tosses the towel onto the counter in front of us.
“Not any more than usual.” He says, then reaches out for his toothbrush. “I feel like we’re getting fucking nowhere but that’s about it.”
I pause, turning my head and I study him. “These things take time, Arlo. You said that to me once.”
He lets out a big exhale as he places a strip of toothpaste on his brush before passing it to me, his eyes staying fixed ahead as I gently take it.
“I feel like I've killed so many people since my return and I’m getting no results. I’m getting no fucking answers. Yeah, we’ve eliminated a lot of potential snakes, but where’s the main culprit? When the fuck does it end? Who ordered that fucking hit on you and how the fuck does nobody know?”
I sigh and raise my eyebrows, staring ahead as well. “Maybe they worked alone and only that person, and the shooter were in on it. Who knows? Not everyone brags or opens their mouths.”
I turn to face him as he starts brushing his teeth and I lean my elbow on the counter.
“I’m meeting my parents for lunch today. After dropping Lumi off to Sara and Cree at school, I have an important meeting this morning, but then I’m heading to the city.” He stills before his eyes flash down to mine and I give a gentle smile. “Maybe it’s time I speak to my mom.” I suggest warily.
