Page 100 of Family Bonds- Kelsey & Van

He scares the shit out of a dude wanting to meet his girlfriend. Then gets into a fight with Kelsey over how irresponsible she was online. She gives him crap right back, only to say she loves him.

As hard as it was to get those words out of his mouth, he said them back and he felt lighter for it.

Maybe being able to say them made it easier for him to take the next step with the information from his grandfather.

If he was home right now, he’d be reading the journal and he had to shut it off.

He picked her up before she could say another word and had her over his shoulder.

“No more talking,” he said.

“Not even if we talk dirty?”

“You always have to get the last word in,” he said. “No. You want comfort. Talking dirty isn’t that and you know it.”

“Will you snuggle with me?”

He dropped her on the bed to her laughter. “Later when we are ready to sleep.”

“Really?” she asked. She was serious this time. No laughter and he wondered if maybe she did need some comfort and that he might not be enough for her.

He hated to think that. Hated that he spent most of his life always wondering if he’d be enough for anyone.

“Yeah,” he said. “We can do that. Now stop talking or I’m taking it back.”

She reached her arms up and put them around his neck to pull him down for a kiss. “One more thing to say.”

“The last thing,” he said.

“I’m on birth control. I started to take the pill.”

“That’s a good thing to say,” he said, his mouth crushing hers.

She wanted comfort, but there was a part of him that needed to be unleashed and he had to draw it back.

The ride to the cliffs helped take the edge off, but he’d gotten worked back up at his place watching that video.

“Van. Don’t think. I can almost hear you thinking. I’ll stop talking if you stop thinking. I’m trying to distract you more than anything.”

Which he should have realized.

“I won’t think about anything more than giving you pleasure,” he said. He shifted down her body and undid her jeans, then yanked them down quickly with her underwear.

He didn’t give her a chance to say another word before his mouth landed between her legs and dove in face first as if he were a starving man.

He was licking and nibbling on her so much she was squirming and he had to pin her to the bed to get her where he wanted her.

“I don’t want to come this way,” she shouted.

He sat up and looked at her. “Are you okay?”

“Yes,” she said. “Sorry for yelling. But I want to come together with you. I want to feel you inside of me without a condom. I was squirming to get you to stop. You didn’t get the hint.”

He moved back and lifted his shirt over his head. “Heard,” he said.

She removed her shirt and bra while he got naked and then crawled back on the bed and lay on top of her.

He moved between her legs and lifted some. She put her hands on his cheeks and forced him to look into her eyes.
