Trying Not to Love You

"Damn CC, you have to stop or I'm going to come in your mouth." He said breathing heavy.

I moaned when he said that. It sent that tingling feeling straight to my middle, and the vibrations of my moan nearly pushed him over the edge.

"Fuck, don't do that," he said panting.

I picked up my speed, stroking and sucking, harder and faster. Hunter stopped moving my head, his legs locked and he cried out his release. Now I've done this to Dominic before, but this with Hunter was something completely different. I never liked the taste of Dominic but I would never get enough of Hunter.

Reaching his hand down, he slowly pulled me up his body. When I was finally within reach, he placed opened mouth kisses on my shoulders up to my neck and then to my lips.

He rested his forehead on mine and said, "Now it's my turn to return the favor."

Smiling I said, "Next time, I'll take an IOU for now." I winked at him.

Hunter and I relaxed in the hot tub until we started turning all wrinkly. We ran back inside and up to our room. Hunter started the fireplace while I went to dry my hair.

After my hair was dry, I climbed into bed and cuddled up next to Hunter. We laid there, not talking to each other, just being content to be in the same room together. We watched the fireworks go off out through the bedroom window, nestled with each other and when midnight fell upon us, Hunter kissed me with those amazing lips of his until we were both breathless. We stayed up until the fire died out and then both of us fell asleep peacefully, wrapped in each other's arms.

A nightmare woke me in the middle of the night; it took me a few minutes to realize whom I was with, and where I was. The nightmare had me shaken a bit; I didn't want my time here with Hunter to end when morning came.

I felt the sting of tears hit my eyes when I looked at Hunter sleeping. I tried to hold the sob back, but I just couldn't. I knew deep in my heart that when we went back home, things were going to change.

Hunter stirred and opened his eyes. He raised his hand to wipe the tears away. "CC don't cry baby."

Each kiss and touch from Hunter was filled with so much passion. He climbed on top of me and stared into my eyes. He pushed himself in and stilled. I tried to move under him but he just shook his head.

"Please Hunter, I need this. I need you." I said, begging.

"CC," he said with a hushed voice, "I love you so much baby."

I sucked in a breath; those words were not words I was expecting him to say. "I love you too Hunter."

I now understood why he never told me those words before. He was waiting until I was ready for them, until I needed them the most.

We made love, so slow, with so much adoration for what seemed like hours. We were worshipping each other's bodies, begging the other to understand without the words.

After we were done, we fell back asleep, wrapped in each other's arms.

When we woke up the next morning, there was apprehension in the air as to what would come when we made it home in the next ten hours. Hunter and I took a shower together, made love one last time and told each other how much we loved each other again and again. The rest of the morning was very quiet between the both of us. We got everything packed up and started our dreadful ride home.

It was around dinnertime when we arrived home on Sunday. When we were home from school, everyone hung out at our house. This would work in our favor, because with our whole family around, I would not have to worry about anything getting out of control.

Hunter turned off the truck but didn't make a move to get out; he reached over and grabbed my hand. "No matter what happens when we step foot out of this truck, just know I love you and nothing will ever change that, nothing."

A few tears fell from my eyes; I knew with those words that there were going to be problems. I wiped my eyes with the back of my hands and smiled over at him while saying. "I love you too." I took one deep breath and let it out slowly. "Ok let's go face the music."

We walked into the house hand in hand; everyone had gathered at the table, just about ready to eat. I did not look anyone in the eye when we walked in. I went directly into the kitchen, still holding Hunter's hand. I was thankful he had not dropped it yet. I knew he would and when he did, a little piece of my heart would stop.

Mason, Cooper and Jackson were standing by the stove quietly talking. When they noticed we had walked in, they stopped and all three scowled at us. I expected the least amount of problems with Cooper because he and Jaylinn were together.

"We need to talk." Jackson spoke up first.

Hunter and I nodded in agreement. Mason looked from Hunter to me and then back to Hunter before he shook his head and walked out. Great!

The four of us walked outside to the garage. No one said anything for a few minutes, no one wanting to address the elephant in the room.

I decided I needed to speak up first and at least address Cooper, who had no valid argument. "Look I know you guys don't like the idea of me and Hunter. You have your own reasons and I don't completely understand but whatever. Coop, you can't even put up a fight since Hunter knows you're with Jaylinn. He knows you will take care of her even with your track record." This conversation had me worked up. "From the day he found out about you and her in the kitchen, he hasn't said shit to you about it. And now, you're going to start shit because he and I are together?"

Cooper looked over at Jackson and then back at me. "I know and I don't really have a problem with it. I know he'll treat you right, but I know he broke your heart once before too and that's what I don't like." He looked at Hunter and continued. "You're like a brother to me; you are a brother to me. Don't break my sister's heart, and we won't have a problem."

Hunter nodded and said, "Same goes to you; just because I'm not giving you shit for going after my sister doesn't mean I don't give a shit if she gets hurt. You know she has shitty taste in guys. I'm pretty sure you beat the shit out of a few of them."

I looked at Jackson, waiting for his reasoning. He looked in Hunter's direction and said, "Look, I don't have a problem with this. Yeah, it bothers me a little because she's my sister, but you're already family. I don't have to worry about someone looking after her and protecting her." He looked at me and said, "We aren't your problem, Mason is. He hates this. We tried to talk to him, but he's not hearing us. Maybe if you talked to him one on one he might listen."

"Yeah alright, I'll try." I walked over to Cooper and Jackson, and gave them both a huge hug and a kiss on the cheek.

I grabbed Hunter's hand and whispered, "Two down, one to go."
