Hunter cut off her off, "Shut up."
Jaylinn laughed and walked away.
Feeling slightly embarrassed, I said, "So, I um, guess I better get going now."
He gave me another peck on my lips and said, "Yeah. I'll see you later."
I followed Jaylinn and Mrs. McCormick out of the house and down the steps. At the bottom, I turned back around to Hunter. "What are you doing up this damn early anyway?"
He gave me that smile that made me tingle and said, "Because, there was something I had to do." He turned and closed the door. I shook my head and continued to the car.
The morning of shopping went great. I got most all my gifts bought, but still needed to get a few things before Christmas. Mom bought me a new Coach purse for my birthday, which made up for having to wake up so early. Hailey picked up a few things along with Jaylinn and Mrs. McCormick.
We stopped for lunch before we went home, knowing we would have to start getting things ready for the baby shower tomorrow. All morning, Mrs. McCormick kept watching me. I was not sure what she was up to but something was up.
Around lunchtime, we made it back to the house. When we walked in the front door, Jackson was pacing back and forth in front of the fireplace. Mason was sitting next to Chloe, rubbing his hand up and down the right side of her back. Cooper was doing the same thing on the other side, and Hunter was holding a bucket up to her face.
"What's going on?" My mom asked, as soon as she set her bags down on the dining room table.
Hunter looked over at me and shook his head. Cooper said, "She's been throwing up since she woke up."
My mom walked over to Chloe and bent down in front of her. Hunter moved back and handed my Mom the bucket. My mom said to Chloe, "Sweetie what's going on? Are you in any kind of pain?"
Her whole body was shaking and she had goose bumps on her arms. Before she could answer, Jackson spoke up and said, "She's been throwing up since her feet hit the ground this morning. The doctor said to keep her hydrated, and if she's no better in a few hours to take her to the hospital."
"Ok sweetie, let's get you back up to bed." Cooper and Mason both grabbed an arm and helped Chloe back upstairs while Jackson went to go get her a couple bottles of water.
Hunter came over to me and said, "I never want to go through that bullshit. It was no wonder Jackson had not left her side since she got knocked up."
"Yeah, she hasn't had it easy."
Mrs. McCormick took the seat where Cooper had just been sitting. "Hey Mom, you buy me anything good?" Hunter asked.
"Now you know I didn't. I don't like you that much." She said laughing.
"But she bought me something, because she loves me." Jaylinn piped up from behind us.
"Whatever." Hunter draped his arm around my shoulder, "You want to go catch a movie?"
"Not now, maybe later. We need to get started on the gift bags for the shower." Hunter frowned at me, but we needed to get them done.
Eventually, my mom made it back downstairs, and we all got started on the baby shower stuff. My dad and the boys all went outside to put the Christmas decorations up. By the time everything was done, we ordered pizza, and I ran upstairs to take a quick shower. After showering, I went into my room, and Hunter was sitting there on my bed.
"What are you doing up here?" I was feeling a little uncomfortable with him being in my room. After all, we were in my parent's house.
"Don't worry. Hailey and Mason went out to a movie, Cooper took my Mom and Jay home and your parents are too worried about Chloe to realize I'm in here."
Well then, I guess he had everything covered.
He got up off the bed and went over to lock the door. He stalked over to me, stopped right in front of me and lifted my chin so that I was looking up at him.
"Am I making you nervous?" He must have felt me shivering, but it was not because I was cold.
"No." I whispered.
Hunter put his arms around me and started walking me backwards to my bed. The back of my legs hit the bed, and he gently laid me back. Once my head hit the pillow so did all of my emotions. I wanted him. I had wanted him forever and now here he was.
Hunter hovered above me, not touching me. I wanted him to touch me. I slid my hands down his back and grazed my fingers under his shirt. He tensed for a second, then sat up and pulled his shirt over his head.
Hunter was handsome with all that tanned toned skin and those damn tattoos of his. I reached up and ran my hands from his chest down to his abs. He came back down with a hand on each side of me, caging my body in with his.
"You're killing me with this towel. I shouldn't be in here but…" he placed a kiss on my lips, "But I can't stay away either."
As if to prove his point, he lowered his body right between my legs. I could feel him hard and thick through his jeans. I tried to move my h*ps to get him right where I wanted him, but he pushed his h*ps harder into mine stopping me.
"Don't," he took a breath and let it out slowly, "I only have so much self-control and you're not ready yet."
He kissed the corner of my lips, then my neck. He leaned onto his right elbow and reached down to pull my towel loose. Before he pulled, he looked up at me for permission. When he pulled the towel, the back of his hand brushed the swell of my breast and my ni**les instantly went hard.
"Damn CC." He said, just before he took one of my ni**les into his mouth. He sucked and swirled his tongue around it and did the same to the other side.
Before I could even think of what I was doing, I lifted my legs around his h*ps and started rocking. That earned me a moan from deep within Hunter's chest. I reached down and ran my fingers through his hair.
He dragged his lips back up my neck and then finally my lips. Our tongues collided and it was pure bliss.
Hunter rested his forehead on mine for a few minutes and then said, "I've got to go."
"What? Why? Don't go yet." I was starting to panic.
"Trust me, I don't want to go but I have to go." He placed a quick kiss on my lips and then started to get up. I reached up and linked my fingers behind his neck.
Sighing, he looked down at where my towel had fallen down a little more and he said, "CC I really have to go. This can't happen."
Now, I let go of him and let him crawl off me. Suddenly feeling shy around him, I quickly grabbed the blankets at the foot of the bed and pulled them up to cover myself.
"What are you doing?" He asked.
I just shook my head at him. I could not answer him. He just told me this could not happen. I was stupid for believing that he could want me this way. He could not even tell me he loved me, but he could tell my brothers that.
