Page 72 of Why We Break

I nod before motioning for them to get off. Looking out at the parking lot, it looks like pretty much all of the parents whose children aren’t able to drive are already here, and I breathe out a sigh of relief that I should get to leave shortly.

My phone vibrates and I turn it over to see Hannah’s name on my screen.

HANNAH: Just made it home. Are you coming over tonight? I know it’s late so no pressure if you’d rather go home and come over tomorrow that’s fine.

WILL: Do you really think I’m gonna be sleeping without you after everything that happened tonight? I’ll be there in twenty.

HANNAH: Sounds good. I’m about to ride out to the barn and double check the horses are good, but I should be back home by the time you get here.

WILL: Okay, be safe. If you want to wait until I get there, I’ll go with you.

HANNAH: Thank you, but the sooner this gets done the sooner we can go to bed… See you soon.

I slide my phone in my pocket and turn back to my assistant coaches. “All right, guys. You can all go on home. I’ll double check everything gets locked up, and I’ll text you in a day or two. I’m sure the school will do some ceremonies to celebrate the win, but I’ll do something for just y’all once everything gets settled down. Thank again for everything.”

They all nod in agreement, clapping me on the back and saying good night before heading to their cars and leaving me alone.

After grabbing the trophy and locking it in my office, I double-check that all the players were picked up before jumping in my truck and heading to Falling Oaks.

I make the drive pretty quickly, smiling as I pull up to the house when I see her pull up on the ATV from checking on the horses with Leroy sitting in the passenger seat. Making my way over, I drop a kiss on her lips before leaning over and patting Leroy on the head.

“I swear, this damn pig,” I tease, shaking my head before wrapping my arm around her shoulder and leading her inside. Leroy scampers off the vehicle, and Ruby runs over from where she was frolicking beside her pen to join us inside. “What are you gonna do when she’s not a little calf anymore?” I ask, and Hannah just shrugs.

“I don’t know, but I guess we’ll figure something out. Leroy over here taught her all his tricks, didn’t ya, buddy?” she coos, opening the front door to let them in before leaning down and sitting her boots on the porch.

Straightening to her full height, she smiles before asking, “So, Mr. State Champion, how are ya feeling? Has it set in yet? You know you’re probably gonna get all sorts of job offers and opportunities after this right?”

I reach out, pulling her body to mine and threading my fingers through her hair. I drop a gentle kiss to her lips before I admit, “Yeah, maybe. But you know I don’t give a shit about any of that. The title’s cool and all, but the best part of tonight wasn’t the game. It was hearing you finally admit that you’re in love with me.”

“Did I say that? I don’t remember,” she teases, and I growl, scooping her up and throwing her over my shoulder and I lead us to her bedroom.

She giggles, bumping my back with her fists as she tries to get me to put her down. “I’ll put you down as soon as you admit that you love me,” I tell her. “And get ready, because I’ve waited seven years to hear you say those words, and now that I have I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of them.

The room goes silent as I hold her up above the bed, and she pulls back in my arms to look at me. “I love you, Will Thompson. I loved you seven years ago when I was too scared to admit it even to myself. I’m pretty sure I’ve loved you every day since, but I’m definitely in love with you now. I know there’ll be days when I’m a pain in your ass and you get on my damn nerves, but I don’t want to spend another day without you.”

My heart races at the words, and I sit her on the bed, dropping my mouth to hers as I kiss her, feeling like I’ll never get enough.

“I love you too, Hannah. This life with you is everything I’ve ever wanted, and I hope you mean it when you say you’re in this for the long haul because I’m never letting you go again,” I tell her, kissing her again and running my hands under her sweater to feel her bare skin. After a moment, I pull it off as she reaches for my coach’s pullover.

We become a flurry of hands, both of us desperate to feel the other until we’re both stripped bare, and she’s reaching out her legs to wrap them around my hips.

I move to help her, leaning down and lining up with her entrance and slowly pushing inside her. “I’m never gonna get enough of you, you know,” I murmur, kissing her lips before rocking my hips into her gently.

All of the other times we’ve had sex, it’s been wild and passionate, but tonight, I want to take this slow and savor every minute with her naked in front of me.

She groans, reaching up to pull me down for another kiss and wrapping her legs around me tighter. “You’re so damn tight, baby,” I murmur, pushing in and out of her slowly.

“Faster, please,” she begs, but I ignore her, reaching down to tease her clit in the way that I’ve learned drives her wild.

“Come on, baby. You’re gonna come for me, and then when we’re done, we’re gonna go to bed because we have the rest of our lives for this right here,” I tell her, feeling her pussy starting to spasm around my cock as she comes.

“Yes, you feel so good. Don’t stop,” she begs. I pump my hip harder, feeling myself follow her over the edge and filling her with my cum.

We both lie still for a moment, basking in the feeling of having the other close. After a few minutes, I pull back, smiling at the sight of her pussy leaking with my cum. “You know, I don’t think that’ll ever get old.”

She rolls my eyes at my statement, before murmuring, “Okay, as wonderful as that was, I need a shower.”

I thread my arms under her legs and carry her bridal style into the bathroom, sitting her on the counter while I get the shower ready. As we wait for the water to heat up, I walk over to her, pulling her into my arms and kissing her again.
