Ever After Awaits Chapter 24 : Cade & Hunter POV ** Cade POV ** Playing ten - pin bowling with a semi is no easy feat . I know she's not doing it on purpose , but every time she steps up to the line with her bowling ball clutched in her hand , I can't keep my eyes off that peach of an ass . I want to bite into it before I lick it better . Then I want her to straddle me so I can grab hold of them and use them to drive her up and down on my hard cock . God , I need to stop daydreaming about Layla and all the debaucherous things I want to do to her . One positive thing is that I'm not the only one suffering today . I've caught Hunter and AJ numerous times staring at her ass , so distracted that they don't even realize it's their turn to bowl . It seems we'll be joining each other in hell . The most frustrating thing is that Layla has no idea what she's doing to us or even doing it deliberately . That is how innocent and pure she is . She doesn't realize how beautiful she is or the chokehold she has us in . A couple of guys a few lanes down have been throwing subtle glances this way whenever it's her turn . I noticed first because Hunter and AJ were seated with their backs towards them . As soon as I brought their attention to the assholes , they came over to my side and ever since then , we've all been throwing scathing looks in their direction whenever they look this way . She is ours . I'm willing to share her with these douchebags next to me ( and maybe Xavier when he pulls his head out of his ass ) , but No. One . Else . Layla sees we are distracted and follows our line of sight . Rolling her eyes , she ignores the other guys , comes over to stand before me , and nudges her knees against mine where I'm sitting in the middle of Hunter and AJ . Instinctively , I open my legs , and she steps forward as if it's the most natural thing in the world . " Cade , " she seductively draws out my name as she slowly leans forward . For a moment , I think I'm having a heart attack at her sudden boldness . Placing her hand on my shoulder , her cleavage is now eye level and I'm salivating because hot damn , those beautiful babies will make a grown man cry , " Yes , Sunshine ? " " It's your turn to bowl . " She purrs in my ear , her breath skating over my earlobe right before she nips at it . If we weren't in public , this is the moment I would pull her onto my lap to straddle me and kiss her senselessly , all while slipping my one hand between our bodies to find her sweet spot . 1/4 Chapter 24 : Cade & Hunter POV She pulls back slightly , her eyes filled with equal parts mischief and arousal . Straightening slowly , her fingertips graze up the side of my neck before they tuck a few of my wayward curls behind my ear . I groan as she finally pulls away , my hands clenched on my thighs in frustration because I can't snatch her towards me . I slowly stand so I can go pick up my ball but adjust myself in my pants directly in front of her , all while holding eye contact . She needs to see what she does to me . She tries to press her thighs together without being too obvious , most likely to ease some of the pressure that is swelling in her core . I grin at her because her attempt is futile . After all , where Layla is concerned , I don't miss a damn thing . ** Hunter POV ** Layla will be the death of me . But I'd die a happy man , nonetheless . Her every move , her every expression , her every sweet smile , is eroticism personified . I can't keep my eyes off her , which is affecting my game , and she is taking full advantage of the " situation " in my pants . When she walks past me , her fingers will slightly skate over the back of my hand , instantaneously causing an instinctual reaction in my body . Or when I'm leaning down to pick up my ball , she'll accidentally bump against me , making me lose my focus as I stare after her amazing ass as it sashays away from me . She is training my body's reaction to her like Pavlov trained his dogs . But I'm not complaining because being able to be near her and touch her - even if it is in the most innocent of ways - gives me a high that my drug addiction of a few years back , couldn't come close to . She's becoming my new drug , but this time it's much healthier because she'll never destroy me or the ones I love , and she'll never desert me in my darkest of hours . She'll always be my biggest cheerleader and advocate . It's Layla's last turn and she needs to knock down the remaining five pins that are clustered together on the left - hand side of the lane so she and AJ can walk away as victors in today's little competition . From what I've seen of her technique today , she can take them out without breaking a sweat . My competitive streak does not like that idea . I decide it's time to give her a taste of her own medicine and stroll right up to her as she takes her position behind the line . She startles for a second but when she realizes it's me , she instinctually leans back against me . Like a lovesick puppy , my stomach somersaults a few times in happiness . I rest my left hand on her hip and gently run my right hand up her right arm , starting at her wrist . " If you make this shot , I'll reward you , " I whisper into her ear just before I lean down and place a chaste kiss behind her ear . 2/4 8:06 pm Chapter 24 : Cade & Hunter POV Her breath stutters before she answers all innocent - like , " What will my reward be ? " My left hand has intentionally started to wander towards her belly button and my pinky slightly dips below the waistband of her jeans as I say , " I'll cook you a romantic dinner and then rub your feet as we watch any movie of your choice . " I can feel the slight tremble in her body at my words before she turns her head so she can look me in the eyes over her shoulder . " And if I don't make the shot ? " she whispers with a slight hitch in her voice - most likely from arousal . I mentally fist bump myself for coaxing such an intense response from her with minimal effort . " Then , my beautiful Layla , you are mine for one night , to do with as I please . " I let the insinuation in my words linger in the air between us . Let her draw her own assumptions ; she doesn't need to know that what I have in mind is strictly PG . Yet . Feeling her straightening her spine with resolve , she looks forward before answering , " Deal . " As I walk backward , away from her , I trail my left hand back around her hip and towards her spine , dropping my hand at the last second . She takes a deep breath , steps back a few strides , and then approaches the line in her usual technique . Her hand releases the ball , and we all watch with bated breath as it glides down the lane . For a split second , I fear I might have just lost our bet . But then her ball suddenly veers off in the wrong direction and completely misses the pins . Layla turns around and throws daggers at me with her eyes . She is almost as menacing as a kitten . So adorable . " Aw , I'm sorry Beautiful . Maybe next time . " I give her a saccharine smile which infuriates her even more . " You did that on purpose , " she says as she comes closer , arms crossed over her ample chest , her fiery stare making me hard again . Damn temperamental dick - this is not the time . " What did I do on purpose ? Are you accusing me of playing unfairly ? Because that sounds very much like something a sore loser would say . " I bait her , knowing she won't let me get away with blemishing her reputation like that . She seethes at me momentarily before going up on her tippy toes and placing her palms on my pecs for stability . " Be careful Hunter , you wouldn't want to get on my wrong side now , would you ? " Her one hand slowly glides downwards and my whole body stills in anticipation of her next move . " We wouldn't want you to be benched for the whole season now , right ? " Her oh - so - subtle innuendo about giving me indefinite blue balls , has me salivating for her . How can one woman be so perfect for me ? Even if she is threatening me ? Goddammit , I have it bad for 3/4 Chapter 24 : Cade & Hunter POV Layla Kincaid . - Chapter Comments Visitor
