Chapter 74
Kevin dozed off and on for the rest of the night but he never let go of Chelsea. He knew how much she needed to feel safe and quite honestly, he wanted to have her in his arms. Maybe, just maybe, she’d decide to come back to him but he had to let her make that choice. He couldn’t pressure her.
He felt her stir and then a mumble. “What time is it?”
Kevin looked at his watch. “Nine.”
“Ummm…okay.” She didn’t pull away. Instead, she ran her hand across his chest and asked, “How long can you hang around?”
“My appointment isn’t until three at Quantico.”
It hit Chelsea what Kevin’s business was and she looked up at him. “You’re going to talk to my Dad, aren’t you?”
“Yes, and I’m yours until then.”
“I have to be at my professor’s office by one to take my exam.”
“Gives us a few hours. Chelsea, I know Alex is going to be disappointed that you aren’t pregnant but I don’t believe he would leave you because of it. It’s nothing compared to what happened with your father and when I get finished with your father, I think he’s going to be extremely proud of you. You need to give Alex a chance and tell him.”
“Over the phone?”
“That’s your choice.”
“Would you want Dianne to tell you over the phone?”
“If she couldn’t catch up with me on tour, yes. I wouldn’t want her keeping it from me because she’s afraid I’m going to be disappointed.”
Chelsea thought for a minute, and then said, “I’ll call him and get him to come here after tomorrow’s show.”
“Good girl.”
There was a long pause before Chelsea asked, “What are you going to tell Dianne about what we did? About us?”
“What do you want for us?”
“I can’t be the other woman and I won’t cheat on Alex again.”
“Are you going to tell him?”
Chelsea looked at him like he’d grown a third eye. “Kevin, I lied to him about the pregnancy because I’m scared of disappointing him. Do you REALLY think I am going to tell him that I told you instead and then slept with you?”
“I guess not. No, I’m not going to tell Dianne.” Kevin was quiet for a long minute, his fingers playing with her hair. “I can’t go on like this, Chels. I love you and I want you to be happy, but if you’re going to stay with Alex, I’m going to leave the group after this tour.”
“Why?”
“It hurts too much to see you with Alex and know he’s the one who makes you happy, that he’s the one making your wishes come true. I’ve tried and it’s just….hell, Howie can see it.”
“So can Alex,” whispered Chelsea. “I can go back to LA instead of staying on the road with Alex.”
“No, stay with him. If you two stay together, then there’s a wedding to plan.”
“What about afterwards? We still have Annie to consider.”
“I won’t see you every day.”
Chelsea rolled so that she was on top of him and ran her fingers through his hair. “You will always hold a special place in my heart, Kevin, and I don’t regret anything we’ve done. The most precious part of us is Annie.”
Brushing her hair out of her eyes, Kevin smiled, “She’s such a beautiful gift. Thank you for taking such good care of her and allowing me to be a part of her life.”
“I’m sorry for not telling you sooner.”
“It’s okay.” Kevin touched her cheek with his fingertips. “Every time I see a shooting star, I think of you and I always will.”
As realization hit her, a tear rolled down her cheek and Kevin wiped it away. “We’re breaking up.”
“In a way, yeah, I guess we are. It’s a little late.”
“It’s so much easier. I don’t think I could have handled it seven years ago.”
“If you’d told me about Annie, we wouldn’t have broken up. We’d be married now.”
Chelsea closed her eyes and placed her head on his chest. She listened to the steady beat of his heart.
Kevin watched her as she lay on him. He ran his fingers lightly across her back. They had needed this time.
“Chels.”
“Uh huh.”
“What do you want to do?”
“Stay right here in your arms.”
“Don’t you need to study?”
“Probably.” She lifted her head and looked into his green eyes. “I’m not ready to say good-bye just yet. Is that wrong?”
Kevin gave a soft smile. “No, it isn’t.”
Chelsea put her head back on his chest. “Do you want breakfast?” she asked.
“Not just yet,” he answered as he rolled her onto her back. He ran his hand down to her breast and with his finger and thumb, pinched the coral nub until it became a hard point. Then he dipped down to grasp it in his lips using his tongue to tickle it. At the same time, his fingers were playing with her other nipple.
Chelsea ran her fingers through his hair relishing the feeling of his touch. Kevin was a skillful lover and extremely attentive to her every need. As he lavished both breasts with attention, she felt the heat in her body building.
Kevin trailed his tongue down from her breasts to her belly button. There he licked and kissed her tight abdomen before making his way down to her nether region. His hands kneaded her thighs as his tongue danced lightly over the pink folds.
“Oh….gowd…” she whimpered, her fingers tightening their hold in his hair.
Kevin cast his eyes up and with a smirk, said, “You taste as sweet as I remember.”
Chelsea looked into his smoldering eyes and felt swept away.
Kevin resumed his loving by inserting two fingers into her wet core as he grasped her clit to suckle hungrily. Her response was immediate; her walls contracted on his fingers as her juices flowed. She bucked to him for more. God, she was so hot and so ready for him. Expertly, he made love to her with his mouth and fingers, thrusting in and out, varying the speed, until he had her screaming his name and her body was covered in sweat.
Withdrawing his fingers, he licked them clean and moved over her, his hard cock poised on the edge of her wetness. He looked into her eyes to see the want in her soul. Easing into her, Kevin stopped when he was completely in and she wrapped her legs around his waist.
“You are so hot and so perfect,” he praised as he kissed her. He slid his arms under her body and up to her shoulders. He held her as he began to move in and out of her. His lips next to her ear, he breathed, “You’re so damned wet! I could make love to you all day long, baby. I love the way your pussy tastes and the way it feels wrapped around my cock. Come on, Chels…cum for me. I want to feel your juices dripping down my cock.”
Chelsea’s fingers dug into his back as she met his thrusts hungrily. Kev….in! Yessss!” she panted. “Faster! I need you….fuck me harder! Fill me up with your cum!”
He uttered a grunt as he thrust one last time and shot his load into her. Sweaty and spent, Kevin collapsed on top of her. “Dayum! You’ve grown up!”
“What’s wrong, ‘Boo’?” she purred as she placed kissed along his neck and ran her fingers along his back.
“You’re grown up and you’re damned good….not that you weren’t good before…it’s just….different.”
“Thank you.”
Kevin rolled onto his side continuing to hold her. “How about we grab a shower and then I’ll take you to breakfast?”
“Shower? Together?”
“Would be nice if you want.”
“What do you want?”
“To never let you go.”
Kevin’s cell phone interrupted the lovers…a ringtone they both knew. Kevin looked in the direction of where he’d left it but didn’t move to get it.
“You shouldn’t ignore her.”
“You’re probably right but I’m not letting anything take me away from you for now.”
Chelsea smiled and pulled away from him. As the phone stopped and started again, she got up, crooked her finger for him to follow, and started backing to the bathroom.
Kevin laughed and got up to follow her to the bathroom where she was getting the water just right. He wrapped his arms around her waist and began placing kisses down her back. She leaned her head back against his shoulder and put her hands on his.
“We shouldn’t be doing this,” she whispered.
“I know,” he whispered as he kissed her neck. “What happens here, stays here.”
“Definitely.”
The couple stepped into the shower together where they spend their time exploring and making love. By the time they stepped out, they had used up all the hot water.
Dressed, Kevin took Chelsea to breakfast where they held hands and talked. To everyone watching, they were a happy couple in love.
