Throughout the day, Liam’s constantly touching me. Holding my hand, his arm over my shoulder, hands on my hips when he’s standing behind me, hand on the small of my back, leading me through doorways. I’m on sensory overload.
When we arrive at his apartment, he calls Aiden to help carry in the loot. I, of course, am not allowed to help. I am, however, allowed to hold the door open and supervise. Ugh. He needs to realize I’ve been taking care of myself and Gran for a long time. When I tell him so he says that ‘it’s his privilege to take care of me now.’ I have no response to that.
“What the hell did you guys buy?” Aiden asks us as he and Liam set the last of the bags on the kitchen counter.
“Just some food and new blankets and pillows for the futon, and I had Allie pick up the shampoo and body wash she likes for when she stays here. This way she doesn’t have to pack it each time or rush home.” He winks in my direction.
“I see,” is all Aiden says in reply. It’s obvious he’s having a hard time adjusting to my relationship with Liam, unlike Hailey, she’s thrilled. “By the way, what’s with the futon purchase?” he asks, motioning to the living room where the recently delivered futon is set up in the corner.
Liam shrugs. “Hales and Blitzen spend the night a lot, and now Allie does too,” he says as he’s pressing his front to my back and wrapping his arms around my waist. “I wanted to make sure everyone has a comfortable place to sleep, preferably without my little sister being shacked up with you or Blitzen.”
I can tell Aiden is goading Liam by the look in his eyes “What’s wrong with how we’ve been doing things? Allison with me, Hales with you, and Blitzen on the couch?” I can see the effort it’s taking him not to laugh.
Liam growls. “Allison will be sleeping with me, in my bed from now on. There will be no exceptions. The futon is for Hales. Blitzen and whoever else can fight over the couch, but Allison will be with me.”
Aiden throws his head back and roars with laughter. It takes him a few minutes to get himself under control while Liam glares at him. I stand here with a smile on my face only Aiden can see. Liam grabs our personal supplies and pulls me into his bedroom and shuts the door. He drops my tote on the bed. “The top two drawers are yours. I cleaned them out this morning when I got back. If you need more space, let me know.” He places a kiss on my temple and carries the rest of our supplies to his adjacent bathroom. And here I stand with a silly grin on my face.
Chapter 20
Liam
When I come out of the bathroom, Allison is still standing in the same spot. “What’s wrong, babe?”
“You made room for my stuff in your dresser?” she asks me, like it’s the craziest thing she’s ever heard.
Everyone seems to be really shocked with me the last few weeks. I’ve never wanted a girlfriend before Allison. It wasn’t necessarily because I was against it, no girl had ever held my attention long enough to want to try, until Allison. All I could see was football. It’s only been less than twenty-four hours since she agreed to be with me and instead of the panic I was afraid would set in, it’s excitement. I rushed home after dropping her off and immediately cleared out my top two dresser drawers for her. I then cleaned out a drawer in the bathroom, as well as a shelf in the bathroom closet. The thought of her spending that much time here with me brings a smile to my face. The only other thing that’s ever done that is football.
“Yeah, I also have a drawer and a shelf for you in the bathroom, that’s where I put all of your toiletry stuff.” By this time, I’m standing beside her, and I lift her chin with my forefinger, so she’s looking me in the eye. “I want you, I want you here. This is all new to me, these feelings and this need I have for you. Just knowing your stuff is mixed with mine makes me happy. I’m going to give this everything I have, Allison.” I kiss her nose and walk away because if I don’t I’ll have her under me on my bed in no time flat.
“So, what do you want to do tonight?” I ask as I sit down on the bed. Before Allison can respond, there’s a knock on my bedroom door and Aiden pops his head in.
“Dude, what the fuck? What if Allison would have been changing or something? You can’t just walk in without permission anymore, man,” I growl at him.
Aiden just chuckles. “Chill out, I’ll wait for an invitation in the future.”
“Damn right, you will.”
“Anyway,” he rolls his eyes, “I just wanted to let you guys know Blitzen and a few of the guys are coming over later to play cards and watch movies.”
Allison steps between my legs and places her arms around my neck. My hands instantly reach for her hips. “I guess we have our answer.” She smiles down at me. My girl is beautiful.
I shake my head. “We can do anything you want. We don’t have to stay here, or we can just lock ourselves in my room. I don’t care either way, just as long as you’re close to me.”
Aiden clears his throat behind us. “All righty then. I’ll let you two get back to what you were doing. Oh, and, Ash, I talked to Mom, and she spent the afternoon with Gran. She said Gran’s doing well.” He winks at us and leaves the room.
I rest my forehead on her belly as she runs her hands through my hair. “Liam, really, we can do whatever you want. I just want to spend time with you. These last twenty-four hours have been amazing, and I’m not ready for it to end yet.”
I tug her down on my lap and tuck her hair behind her ear. “Baby, I don’t want this to end either. I fought my attraction for you. No, attraction isn’t the right word, more like longing. I fought this longing I’ve had for you since the day we met. When I said that I wanted to take a chance and be in this relationship with you, I meant it,” I pause to kiss her, “but now that I’ve had this time with you, with you being mine, and us being together like we have,” I kiss her again, I just can’t help myself, “I never want it to end. It’s not even been twenty-four hours and I know it’s only you.” She kisses me.
Allison backs away from our kiss, stands up, and walks to the door. I start to panic that I’ve scared her away, but when I see her push the door shut and turn the lock, I know she feels the same way. I scoot back against the headboard, hoping she’ll curl up beside me, so I can hold her. Never had those thoughts before, MacCoy.
My beautiful girlfriend has other plans. She climbs up on the bed and straddles my hips, crushing her mouth to mine. Once again, the taste and feel of her consumes my senses. She opens her mouth and my tongue meets hers stroke for stroke. She places her hands on my shoulders and begins to rock back and forth against my erection. She’s slow, and hesitant at first. A few minutes in I can tell she’s feeling it, and starting to let go. I can feel her heat through our clothes, clothes I’m currently cursing and blessing at the same time. I don’t want to rush her, but I would give anything to be inside of her. I’m a fucking mess.
“Liam,” she moans against my lips, and my hands instantly brace her hips, assisting her with her release. I want to give this to her, giving her pleasure is all that matters. I know that she’s new to all of this, so we need to take our time. However, this I can give her. Allison moans and breaks away from our kiss. I can tell she’s getting close, and so am I. Watching my beautiful girl bring herself to orgasm by simply kissing me and rocking her hips against mine, is making me feel like a thirteen-year-old boy again.
