Decker (Torey Hope: The Later Years #1) Read online

  With desire flaming in her eyes, Katie nodded. Taking her hand he led her to say farewell to Beckett and Kenja along with the rest of his family. The guys all just smirked when he said they were calling it a night and heading home.

  “Is that what we’re calling it these days? ‘Calling it a night?’ I thought the popular phrase was still ‘fucking like rabbits’ but what do I know?” Kendrick winked at them as he sauntered off in search of his next warm body.

  Rolling their eyes at Kendrick, but their breathing ramping up in anticipation of getting home and in bed, Katie and Decker all but sprinted to the car.

  Chapter 22

  “The ceremony was beautiful, huh?” Katie shifted in her seat, attempting to calm the desire and anticipation she felt.

  “Yeah, it was really nice. It was so great to see Beckett so happy; he’s been a friend and mentor to the four of us for as long as I can remember. He’s always been a little different, a lot like Uncle Nicky, so it’s nice to see him get his someone special.” Katie’s heart warmed as she listened to Decker talk about the older cousin he loved so much.

  Decker reached over and took her hand; bringing it to his mouth, he placed a warm kiss. “When I get married, I want something small like they had. I don’t need hundreds of guests; I just need my family, my friends, and the woman I love.” Katie blushed as he spoke, but her heart fluttered at the thought of marrying him one day.

  “I don’t want anything big either. Heck, I’d be happy with the courthouse or Vegas; maybe a celebration with family and friends after the marriage.” She couldn’t say that she’d put a ton of thought into her future wedding; she’d actually not thought a lot about it until she met Decker. “I think the most important thing is that two people who love each other get to say their vows to each other in front of God; anything other than that is just icing on the cake.”

  “Bug, it’s good to hear we’re on the same page. Although, I won’t be marrying you in the courthouse. Maybe we could do a wedding on the beach or in the mountains; definitely not Vegas, it just seems trashy to me.” He winked at her as he spoke, and her breathing hitched; he was openly talking about marrying her. She loved him, but were they ready for marriage?

  Hoping to change the subject, Katie laughed at his Vegas comment. “Kendrick says he’s getting married in Vegas if any girl ever manages to tie him down.”

  Decker gave her an I-told-you-so look and chuckled, “Exactly. Anywhere Kendrick plans on getting married is not the place I’ll be marrying you.”

  As they neared his place, Decker’s hand began to roam up her thigh. “Okay, enough talk about marriage for now. I’m pretty sure I remember you saying something about not having anything on under that dress, am I right?”

  When she laughed and let her legs part slightly, he caressed higher and moaned, “You wicked, wicked woman.”

  Pulling into his covered parking spot, Decker let his hand continue its journey until he found exactly the spot he was looking for. When she whimpered against his touch, he cupped her neck and pulled her face close to his. “So hot, so ready. Should I put you out of your misery or tease you a bit like you’ve teased me all night?” Letting his mouth hover just over hers, he nuzzled her nose and brushed the barest of kisses along her lips.

  “You can tease all you want, Decker, but I have another secret that may spur you into action.” She nipped at his lips, and he knew that no matter what the secret was, he wasn’t going to be able to hold off possessing her body sooner rather than later. Whispering softly against his ear as she palmed the steely heat under his pants, “I brought some of my toys.” With a final kiss to his lips, she giggled as he threw his head back against the seat and groaned. When she exited the car, she was sure she heard him mutter, “Gonna fucking kill me, Bug.”

  Sauntering with a purpose to the front of the car, she made sure he was watching as she walked towards the door of the house. The sway of her hips and the sexy smile she threw over her shoulder were completely ad-libbed, but damn if he didn’t feel himself grow harder.

  She had him in the palm of her hand the second she opened the door earlier that day; the no-panties and toys were just an added bonus to the time he planned on spending with her. Adjusting himself, he all but catapulted out of the car; with a wicked gleam in his desire laden eyes, he began to take slow and purposeful steps towards her. When she noticed he was gaining on her, she squealed and began to run; he caught up with her right as she reached the front door.

  Pinning her between his hard body and the door, he breathed in deeply as his face nuzzled into her neck. Searching for the key in his pocket, he growled, “I’ve got you now, what do you think I should do with you?”

  Never one to back down from a challenge or temper her thoughts and feelings, Katie grabbed his chin and leveled his gaze to look straight into her eyes. “I think you should get the door open, strip my clothes, and take me up against the door before anyone else gets home. After that, we can play things by ear.” She finished off her request with a scorching kiss, letting her hands roam down his back until she was gripping his hard ass and pulling him toward her center.

  “I like the way you think. Now, where in the hell is that damn key?” She maneuvered them around so that he was facing the door and she was against his back. He switched to searching the other pocket, but gasped when he felt her slender hand slide seductively into his front pocket. If she kept rubbing him with her hot little hand, she was going to find more than just a key in his pants. “Bug, you keep that up and we’ll have to postpone the against-the-door sex until I’ve had time to regroup.” He immediately missed the heat of her hand, but had to smile when she let out a victory cry and produced the key to the door.

  Handing it to him, she smiled and pulled her bottom lip into her mouth. “Hurry, Decker. I’ve got hot fantasies about sex against a door, but they don’t include being walked in on by your brother or cousins.”

  Swinging the door wide, he ushered her inside and immediately locked the door behind them. He pulled her into a tight embrace and placed hot kisses from her jaw to her neck to the creamy swell of flesh just above the neckline of her dress. “Turn around.” His command was gruff and sent shivers through her body.

  Turning around she glanced over her shoulder and watched as he reached for her zipper. She couldn’t help but breathe faster in anticipation as he lowered the tab and reached his big, warm hands under the material at her shoulders to slide it from her body. She hadn’t been lying when she’d said she didn’t have on panties; she also wasn’t able to wear a bra with the dress she had chosen, so he got the full effect when the fabric hit the floor.

  She started to step out of the shoes as she turned around, but he grunted a negative, “Keep the shoes on.” He grasped her hip and turned her the rest of the way around to face him; hands on her waist, he dropped his head back against the door and breathed heavily.

  “You are every man’s fucking wet dream, and I’ve got you standing right here in front of me ready to wrap those gorgeous as sin legs around me. I don’t know how I got so lucky, but I thank my stars for you every day.” Spinning her around so that her back was flush against the cool wood of the door, he dropped to his knees and ran his nose from her belly button to where she was clearly wanting him to be. Gripping her ass and lifting, he nudged forward until her legs fell over his shoulders. Running his tongue slowly over her, he gruffly chuckled when she arched her back in an attempt to get his mouth closer to where she wanted it.

  “Easy there, babe, I’ll get you to where you want to be; you just have to be patient.” His tongue made two more complete trips around her core, before hovering just over the spot she was practically begging him to pay attention to.

  “Damn it, Decker, lick me!” She grabbed his head and positioned him exactly where she wanted him. Already hard enough to pound nails, he felt himself harden even more when she spoke with such fever and wanting.

  Allowing his tongue to flick and taste, while his lips and teeth n
ipped and sucked, he took pride in the orgasm that ripped through her, knowing that he was the only man to have ever given her that.

  Head thrown back against the door, chest heaving, she slowly lowered her legs from his shoulders and let him steady her into a standing position. “That was amazing; we can try the sex part some other time.” When he cocked an ever-sexy dark brow at her in a questioning way, she shook her head with a small smile, “Surely you don’t think I can go again so quickly? And the guys could be home any time.” Watching as he made quick work of his belt and the button of his pants, she yelped when he gripped her hips and lifted her body quickly against the door. Moaning when she felt the steel heat of him pressing against her, she acquiesced and wrapped her legs around his waist.

  “That’s it, babe. We still have several rounds to go, but we’re getting our first door-sex tonight. Right now.” He filled her as he said his last words and then no words were needed. Locking her legs behind him, she held tightly to his neck and felt her body stretch with each slow thrust.

  In all of her fantasies, sex against a door had been hot and heavy and hard; in the stories she’d heard in college, door-sex was clumsy and not nearly as sexy as the movies. Decker somehow took her wildest fantasies and threw them out the window as he loved her against the door; his long, slow movements reached deeper inside of her than she’d ever felt him. When his thumb moved between their sweat-slicked bodies and found her center, she whimpered his name and let her body’s release rush over her; with one final thrust, he stilled and cried out her name as he found his own release.

  Using his weight to hold her against the door, never wanting to leave her warm body, Decker leaned his forehead against hers and breathed heavily as her breath mingled with his. The scent from their bodies hung heavy in the air, and he knew there would never be another woman who could love him the way she did. “Kate, you are my life, my world, my love. I meant every word of that song tonight; you truly have brought color to my otherwise black and white existence. I love you. Now, not to ruin a special moment or freak you out, but I just saw headlights. I’ll be damned if any of those fuckers are seeing you like this, so I need you to gather your stuff and make a run for my room.” Wincing as he pulled out of her and dropping her gently to her feet, he laughed as she grabbed her dress and the bag she’d brought in with her and sprinted toward the stairs.

  Realizing he’d not even got his pants completely off, he quickly pulled them up and swept his shirt off the ground. One quick look around, he felt sure they’d left no evidence of their activities. He was darting up the stairs when he heard the key in the door. He didn’t take time to investigate what all the laughter was about before he quickly shut the door to his room.

  Taking in the sight of Katie on his bed, sound asleep, curled under his comforter, was enough to tug at his heart. He wanted to see her in his bed every damn day, not just for sex, but for life; he wanted her hugs and smiles and laughter. The thought almost brought him to his knees. Reverently he reached out and stroked her cheek; when she murmured and rolled over, he pulled the blanket back and crawled in behind her, pulling her close to his chest and savoring the warmth of her body against his. “Forever, Kate, I love you. Always.” His whisper ghosted across her ear, and she snuggled closer to him. “Always, Decker,” she said on a sigh before succumbing to a deeper sleep.

  **********

  Katie grumbled against the pillow as the intruding noise attempted to invade her peaceful slumber. She was awake enough to know that deliciously warm arms and legs were wrapped around her body, but she hadn’t come fully to her senses enough to comprehend what the buzzing sound was. “Make it stop, Decker, I just want a few more minutes of sleep.” She mumbled and attempted to roll over, grateful that the buzzing had stopped.

  Instead of being allowed to move, she found herself quickly on her back and a warm hand was caressing down her stomach to a point on her body that had definitely already awakened. Continuing to come awake slowly, she savored the warmth of his touch; her ears perked and her brain attempted to place the low buzzing sound which was once again filling the room.

  Whimpering at the loss of his warm fingers, Kate was instantly awake when the head of her purple vibrator was placed against her folds. Grasping the sheets in her fists, her eyes popped open and found his dark eyes, hooded with desire, watching her with a ferocious intensity.

  “Good morning,” he all but growled, “I found your toys.” He smirked sexily and flicked the vibrator slightly, causing her to moan deeply. “I don’t know if this one is your favorite, but it’s the first one I found when I opened your ‘Bag of Fun’.” Continuing to watch her, he slid the purple head inside and pulled himself level with her; bracing on one elbow, while the other arm worked the vibrator in slow pulses, he kissed her deeply. “Come for me, Kate. Come for me now, and then while your body is still shaking, I’m going to fill you and make you come again.”

  Swallowing her cries of pleasure, he removed the vibrator and replaced it with himself. Entering her while her body was still rippling with aftershocks, he took up a forcefully slow pace. Not able to tell where her first orgasm ended and the second began, he increased his speed. Pulling back enough that he could see their joining, he groaned in satisfaction; the sight of his body possessing hers was enough to send him over the edge. Burying his head in the crook of her neck to muffle his groans, he thrust one last time and moaned her name in one deep, long breath.

  **********

  “Mmmm, I think I like your toys. Maybe we can schedule a play date again soon so you can share all of them with me.” He stood behind her in the bathroom as she attempted to brush her teeth and fix her hair. The bathroom was steamy from the shower they had shared; her body was well-sated from the loving they had shared.

  “I’m really surprised you picked the purple one to use for the first time, did you not like the pink one? I figured you’d get a kick out of that one.” She winked at him as she finished brushing her teeth.

  “I told you, I picked the first one I found when I opened your secret little stash. By the way, where in the hell did you get all of your toys? You could open a sex shop, you little sexual deviant.” He kissed her shoulder and watched her face in the mirror.

  She blushed as she spoke, “My college roommate one year was a sex toy consultant; she’d have all these parties and get free stuff. Since I wasn’t dating, she’d give some of them to me ‘so your vagina doesn’t close up shop,’ her words, not mine.” She walked to her bag to find the huge dildo she’d brought as a joke.

  “Funny, Decker, where’s the pink one?” She continued digging through all of her sexual paraphernalia, most of which she’d never even attempted to use, hoping against hope that she’d find what she was looking for. Her roommate had dated a guy for a while who was supposedly ‘very well-endowed,’ she had given the gigantic pink vibrator to Katie as a joke, “So you’ll know what I’m screaming about if you ever hear us through the wall,” her roommate had almost pissed herself laughing at the look on Katie’s face when she saw the toy. It was easily as long as her forearm and as wide as a pop can; she’d never even fathomed using it. She had also never understood the looped string on it, did people hang their dildos from strings? Shaking her head, she continued looking for the big pink one. She had kept all of the toys her roommate had donated to her in the bag for several years. Figuring Decker would be curious, she’d left the pink one in there to see his reaction when he saw it. Where the hell was it? Nothing that big could hide for long.

  “Babe, I didn’t see anything pink, I don’t know what you’re talking about. I grabbed the purple one because it was on top and seemed the least intimidating. But, watching your reaction to it, I’m pretty sure I’d be willing to play with more of your toys any time you’d like.” He grabbed her hand and led her down the stairs; Katie had a hard time letting go of the missing vibrator. She didn’t think Decker would take it and not tell her, but she knew it should have been in that bag; so where was it?

  Walking into the kitchen, Katie felt her face flame red-hot in a matter of seconds. Kendrick stood in a pair of basketball shorts, hard, hot body leaning against the kitchen counter. In his hand, swinging from a string on his right index finger, was the huge pink dildo. Covering her face with her hands, Katie groaned, but Decker just busted out laughing.

  “Um, Bug, I think we found your missing toy.” Looking at his cousin, Decker gave him a look that warned against embarrassing his girl too much.

  “Damn, Decker, if you’re living up to this monster, you must have grown quite a bit since we were sharing baths at Grandma and Grandpa’s house. This thing is enough to scare me, yet you’re obviously satisfying your girl here, so bravo, man, bravo.” Kendrick laughed and waved the pink monstrosity in front of Katie’s face. “Missing something, Katie?”

  She knew he meant no malice with his teasing, but that didn’t stop her mortification from growing. Knowing it would be pointless to try and explain she’d never used this particular toy, she just shook her head. Holding her head high, she poured herself some coffee. “May I ask where you got that?” She was proud that her voice didn’t break in embarrassment even once.

  Zach and Sawyer came walking into the kitchen at that moment and just chuckled at the obvious merriment being had at Decker and Katie’s expense.

  “Well, after we had the extreme displeasure of watching Deck’s ass streak up the stairs when we got home last night, we happened to find this beauty rolled halfway under the couch. We probably wouldn’t have found it, but the flashing neon lights gave it away.” Sawyer took the offending apparatus and gazed at it longingly. “I think I’m in love with this big beauty.”

  “It flashes neon lights? I never knew that.” Katie realized too late that she sounded much too interested in this undiscovered function, and hid her crimson face in her hands once again.
