Chapter 56

Nathaniel

" I know you can make him disappear ." I state once again, determined to make a deal with James .

He just gawps at me with an indifferent look, swirling the vodka in the glass . " And what will I be getting in return, son?" He leans on the table when I just stumble over my words .

" Any-anything!" I rub my temple . I wish it didn't have to be like this but I'm not taking any chances with Tyron.

" Hmhmm , I don't know Nathan . I need something but I think only Lucas can make it possible . Does he even know you are here begging at my feet?"

" I'm not even begging." I sigh in annoyance . James just stares at me . " Fine! Maybe I am begging but does it matter? You tell me what you want and i will talk it out with Lucas ."

James has this evil look as he slowly stands up . Faking a yawn with an exaggerated exhalation of breath . " Let me think about it . You will have my answer by tomorrow. "

" What if by tomorrow, Tyron could have tried something?" I mutter, my jaw twitches at the sight of James's smirk .

" Then that wouldn't be my fault, should have come here sooner ." He shrugs then goes on to stand by his huge ass window. Probably looking at the empty pond he built a few months ago for whatever reasons.

His back to me, means he is done talking to me .I shuffle my way out of his dark office full of artificial lights.  Since the only person at home is Joshua, I decide to check on him .

I find him chatting away under his covers, his pyjamas still on him . " I wonder who's making you smile that much ." I comment .

Joshua sits up rather too quickly, shoving his cellphone under his pillow while he's at it . " Umhm , did I scare you or are you just trying to hide something from me?" I sit at the foot of his bed .

He clears his throat " No of cou-- me? Hide something?..." He lets out an awkward laugh that turns into coughs once he realises that I'm not buying his shit .

" Well? What is it?" I poke his exposed leg . Joshua pulls it away so he has his knees against his chest with a dreamy look on his face .

" I met someone ..." He mumbles . " At the party last night. That's who I'm talking to right now . "

" Who is he?" I narrow my eyes . I don't want anyone hurting my brother again . I let it slide with Wylder because Joshua insisted that it's okay , he knew what he was doing and look what that got him? .

" His name is Sawyer. He was one of the waiters.  " He utters . Although I want to say something but I hold my tongue . It has been long since I have seen Joshua this happy. What could a mere waiter do to him? .

" He sounds poor ." I blurt out . Joshua widens his eyes, shoving me off his bed with one swift kick . " Ouch!" I cry out the second my butt lands on the wooden floor .

" So mature of you Nathan, thanks for being such a supportive big brother ."

" I'm kidding!" I chuckle at his curled up lip . " I mean, I don't know the guy . What did you expect me to say?"I throw my hands up in exasperation.

" Should have said that you would like to meet him instead of making assumptions. Just because he's a waiter doesn't mean he's poor!" He points out rather angry at me .

" Why are you so pressed about this? You guys just met last night?" I tease . Trying to lighten up the mood .

Joshua glares daggers at me. My smile falters completely" I haven't felt this way in a long time Nathan . I don't want anyone ruining it for me . "

" I'm sorry for being an ass about it ." I slump down on his side of the bed " I promise I will not make silly assumptions about him , however I still need to meet him . I have to let him know who's Kicking his ass if he hurts my handsome little brother ."

Joshua rolls his eyes , chortling a little.  " Yeah yeah, whatever." He dismisses my seriousness with a wave of his hand .

Just like that , the conversation about Sawyer ends . All we are left to talk about was our mom , James and mostly about life in general . Something we haven't done in a long time and it felt so nice .

Lucas

Due to some Pregnancy complications with Summer . She cancels the baby shower thing last minute. I don't blame her, being pregnant is not that easy . Some days are just bad and there's nothing you can do about it .

So with my free time, I cook dinner for everyone, including Wylder who hardly ever goes home. It's like his new home is here . He even has his own bedroom and Tobias is starting to like that idea too . Having his favourite uncle right across his bedroom.

As I'm checking the lasagna in the microwave oven, Tobias comes running in the kitchen with a plane in hand, mimicking plane noises.

" No running in the house bud!" I remind him as he exits the kitchen. The lasagna still doesn't look cooked yet so I sigh, closing the microwave oven.

Wylder strolls in the kitchen with a broad grin on his face .

" Smells good!" He sniffs loudly, taking a seat across from me .

" Let's hope it tastes good too ." I grumble. I have been trying new dishes lately. Some turn out great while some are just disastrous.

" I bet it doe-"

" Ow!" A loud yelp and a break of something makes me drop the knife in hand . Without hesitation, I run in the lounge room to find Tobias looking down at the flower Vassel with a bleeding finger .

" I told you to stop running in the house Tobias!" I scold him . Pulling him away from the broken glass on the floor .

" I'm so--sorry!" He cries out . I sigh heavily, studying his finger . It doesn't look deep, just a scratch that can be fixed with a clean up and a patch on it to heal .

" Just...just listen next time, okay?" I wipe away his tears . He solemnly nods . " Come on, let's get you cleaned up ." I lead him in the downstairs bathroom .

***

" How was your day?" I ask Nathan when he enters the main bedroom looking rather tired .

" Joshua likes a waiter he met here last night." He announces. Plopping down beside me on the bed .

" That's good, right?" God knows Joshua has been through a lot with Wylder. Having someone new in his life will do him good .

" Not sure if I want him back in the dating scene. What if this Sawyer guy hurts him too?" Nathan glances over me with glint of worry in his eyes .

" You can't really keep him away from getting hurt . " I shrug, stating the obvious . " And if it makes you feel better, we can beat up this Sawyer guy if he hurts Joshua!"

" Ooohhh I didn't know you could fight?" He taunts . Tilting his head towards me with a cheeky grin .

" Oh I can. I once got in a fight with this kid at school . He used to bully me a lot because of , you know, my home situation ." Which I didn't want to elaborate on and Nathan got the hint, nodding for me to continue . " Then this one time, I bravely went up to him and told him to 'back off ' . " I remember how I confidently looked at the taller lad in the eyes with so much determination .

" And? What happened next? " Nathan scoots beside me , looking engaged in the story .

" Well, I think he got the hint and  he also didn't like that the kids around us were snickering at us . So he ...well--" I scratch the back of my head , my face turning Crimson red from what I'm about to reveal.

" He beat your ass, didn't he?" Nathan's mouth quirks into a smile . I look at me, forging an offensive scoff at his conclusion .

" Of course not! He ...well ..he punched me but i--"

" Oh God!" Nathan doesn't let me finish . He literally falls into a fit of laughter . Clutching his stomach in the process as he heaved .

" At least I tried?" I say defensively . I only earn another round of laughter from laughter.

“i'm —sor-so sorry but i—” Nathan shakes his head, his laughter so hard he can't get the words out. Holding up a hand, he tries to catch is breath. “When you started the story, I was convinced you were going to be the one throwing punches at the boy!” she howls, clutching his sides.

" I'm starting to rethink the honesty policy in our relationship." I grumble . Although a part of me is happy that I managed to make him laugh . It has been a long time since I saw this side of him, especially when we are together.

" I'm sorry baby but I couldn't help it." He throws his arm around my shoulders , still chuckling a bit .

" Yeah, it was definitely funny ." I smile, glancing over at him.  He perks my lips . "More kisses please" I wrap my arms around his waist,  under the cozy jacket he's wearing .

" I love you ." He whispers. The words itself makes me freeze . I mean, he has told me that he loved me, once or twice in the past but this time it feels different so , instead of saying anything, my automatic response is to kiss him and I do . I kiss him with every ounce of emotions cursing through me .

Nathan seems surprised and hesitant for a second then he starts kissing me back like his life depends on it . The hunger for each other swirling between us, instantly I feel myself wanting more . To touch every inch of him. For him to be inside me , to just be glued to each other.

I grab him closer, grab a fistful of his jacket and kiss him as hard as I can . My fingers are already attempting to take it off.Then he breaks the kiss  " Whoa Lucas i--"

" Yes I want to do this and I'm sure!" I reply to him before he even asks the question . We are both panting, looking at each other hungrily.

" Are you s--"

" Nathaniel Kevens!" I let out an exasperated sigh . Nathan laughs quietly at my snivels.

" Okay " His lips find my lips once again , his hands slip under my pyjama shirt and he's breathing hard. I practically rip the jacket off him in desperation . Nathan smiles between our lips but doesn't say anything .

He slowly climbs on top of me . I  quickly discard my pyjama shirt as he takes off his too . " Not sure if this is impo--"

" No." I interrupt him . Already going for his pants but he stops me . " What is it?" I bat my eyelashes at him innocently .

" As eager as I want to do this, I want to let you know that I might have not brought condoms, so do you have any?"

" Oh" that's all that comes out of my mouth . I let my hands fall from his pants . " I kind of thought you would have them ." I confess.

" I can go ask Wylder if he has any?" He motions towards the closed door .

" It's okay . " I fiddle with my hands on my lap ." I'm okay with it , if you are?" I look up to him to find him smiling softly . " What?" I shyly look away .

" Are you saying you want to have my second baby?" He leans over me, his forehead touching mine .

" Maybe" I wrap my arms around his neck, infusing our mouths together again . Casting all of the worries about the consequences of what we are doing.

He pulls down my pyjama pants with one swift move, I help him by Kicking the rest of them from legs . Sighing in satisfaction when my boner springs up . Before I could process everything, his hand is already on my erection , gently squeezing and rubbing it. All I can do is whimper and whine under his lustful eyes .

I feel him spread my legs, placing his thighs under mine as he slightly pulls me on his lap . I lean back on the mattress to look up at him while he pulls his jeans off , followed by his underwear.  I try not to smile at the fact that he's wearing one of the briefs I bought for him for his birthday last year .

" I know what you are thinking ." He chortles at my knowing look . Instead of saying anything, I trail my eyes down his hairless chest . Now that I think about it, I have never taken my time to admire him . His arms curve with his biceps and his v-line has me blushing, so I quickly dart my eyes to Nathan's face to find him staring down at me .

I self consciously place my arms over my chest . " Hey, I'm still admiring my beautiful future husband." He gently removes my arms over my chest, his lovely eyes meeting mine.

" Future husband huh?" I gleam up at him  . He shrugs and brushes the outside of my thighs smoothly, making me shudder at his touch .

His green eyes sparkle in the dim glow from the small lightbulbs hanging from the ceiling. The light is seemingly warm and romantic in a way .

" Yeah, marry me? " Nathan hovers over me . I don't know if he's joking or serious but he doesn't wait for my answer.  He slowly slides a lubricated finger inside me . I let out a quiet, quivering moan .

" I will let you think about it .." he says against my lips . Another finger slides inside me and he curves them against my prostrate .I gasp for air and moan . My hands hanging on his back for dear life .

My breathing is getting rough and I start to get awfully hot from where I'm half laying. So when Nathan slides his fingers out of me, I find myself feeling disappointed. However when he positions his length between my legs, i eagerly scoot closer to him in anticipation .

" Are we eager now huh?" Nathan groans when he finally enters me. I whimper in return. " You are so tight. .."

" You don't have to be gentle..." The words fly out of my mouth before I think of swallowing them .

With that said, he chuckles mischievously and shoves himself all the way inside me with one hard thrust .  My breath gets caught in my throat.  I feel him inside me . Hitting that good spot with each thrust . I whimper and squirm , grabbing to his back as he pounds inside me . When I said he didn't have to be gentle, I definitely didn't expect to unleash this rough side of him . And if I'm being honest, it's so hot and I love it .

After a few moments , he cums inside me . I feel his seed pouring inside me with his last thrust and I let out a shaky breath as I cum too . This is the perfect moment to start to panic at the fact that he might have gotten me pregnant but a part of me doesn't . I feel so calm, so content at the moment .

He pulls out of me, I whine at the empty sensation that is left. Nathan kisses my forehead with a small smile . " Is that a whine for another round I hear?" . He slumps beside me , cradling my body in his .

" No, of course not !" I bury my face on the crook of his neck . Not wanting him to see the lie written all over my face . The shameful truth that I want more of him inside me, to fill me up until I say no more .

" I might consider round two if you say yes to me ." He says .

" Yes to what?" I curiously gawk at him . I feel so ready to say yes to every demand he wants. At this point, I don't care if I might look needy .

" To marry me?" He glances down at me with hopeful eyes .

" Yes! Yes!" I chant out the word carelessly . Nathan snorts at my excitement .

" You are not saying it because you want me on top of you again, right?" He smirks .

" Maybe?" I crawl on top of him . Grinding against his semi hard shaft. " Or I just love you so much that I want you to make me mine, forever ." I drag out the 'r' at the end mischievously.

Nathan places his strong hands on my hips " After this round, we are getting married then!" He jokes . I giggle down at him . And just like that, our night start to get more steamy .
