Chapter 53

Ella

\-A month later-

"God this sun feels absolutely amazing" I purr, currently soaking up the sun's rays. My legs dangling over the side of the pool as I attempt to relax my body.

Sighing, I moved to tilt my head back slowly. A lot happening over the course of a month. For ever since graduating from Valley View Academy, things seemed to have gotten a whole lot more complicated. From almost getting kidnapped by goons to being in a literal car accident and spending nearly a week within the hospital, I was definitely ready for any kind of normalcy that I could get.

Even when Kris and I still tried to see each other once I was released. But since that day, her parents have been a tad more protective about her spending all of her free time with me. Not exactly happy that I placed their daughter's life in danger.

So, needless to say, we rarely ever hung out much, but when we did, we made sure to make the most of it. We even go as far as making sure to text and video chat each day, while other days Kris attempts to sneak out of the house so that she can see Grant and Hayden as well as me when her parents don't try to catch her.

Sighing again, I attempt to push all those unwanted thoughts as far away from me as possible because while Kris and I do have our moments, a small part of me was glad she couldn't always be around to see me. Giving me that sense of security of knowing that she would be safe from unknown dangers as they continued to lurk all around me, as the unknown number still continues to text me relentlessly except unlike last time my brothers are in the know. No longer finding it necessary to hide it from them because they knew.

Yet, another part of me wishes that we could somehow link the unknown number straight back to Nicholas, especially because he mentioned "Cousin" and "Mean right hook" which meant that James had to have spoken to him on that day, but unfortunately, we weren't able to trace it back to anything because the person who was texting me was texting me from a burner phone.

Even Dylan's number one hacker couldn't even figure it out either, because even though the evidence linked straight back to Nicholas, we didn't have enough evidence to prove it, and thanks to the burner phone, we were coming up short because whoever this person was, was really trying to cover up their tracks so that no one could ever find them.

Shaking the unwanted thoughts aside for now, I move to take a dip within the pool, my body gracefully gliding from one end of the pool to the other. Unaware that I would soon have a visitor, as the water blocked my vision the longer I swam.

Completing a few more laps around the pool, I eventually slow down long enough to hear the sound of someone approaching. My body moving into a standing position as my eyes move to see who it was that was heading my way, only to pause. My eyes taking in the form of Caleb as he moves to approach the pool. His eyes never leaving mine as he did.

Dear God... come my thoughts as I continue to stare at Caleb's body. His 6'2 tall and masculine frame causing me to shiver. His black hair tousled as if he had it tucked beneath a helmet of some kind. His blue eyes gazing sexily over in my direction.

"C-Caleb" I stammered, a bit surprised to see him of all people back at the house so soon.

"Yes Princess?" chuckles Caleb, clearly amused by my reaction. His eyes still on mine even as he slowly moves to remove his motorcycle jacket from his body before tossing it over towards a pool chair, his gloves next to follow before he moves to set his helmet down onto a table, all while keeping his focus trained on me and me only.

"Your home early" I answered, now curious as to why he was home and not Reece or Dylan.

"I am" muses Caleb, his eyes still locked on mine.

"Why?"

"Do I need a reason to be in my own home?" teases Caleb.

"N-No.. I was just curious" I admit now embarrassed that I had to ask him that.

"Well, if you must know, it's because I wanted to see you. To spend some quality time with you and only you" admits Caleb, his voice soft yet firm.

"You did?" I asked, a tad shocked that he actually wanted to spend time with me.

"Yep" answers Caleb, popping the P at the end as he moves to slowly remove his black cotton shirt. His hands drawing the material slowly up and along his well-defined abs while my eyes move to rake along his chiseled body. His body built similar to Reece and Dylan, which makes my heart jump at all the possibilities as it begins to recognize each of them in turn.

Easy Ella... You've already seen each of them naked before and them you. This should come natural to you. Like a walk in the park, I remind myself. My body tingling at what it would feel like to taste Caleb's body against my tongue. Because, after all, I had already done it once before and then once between Reece and Dylan as individuals, and that alone left me wanting Caleb next.

Catching my gaze slowly, Caleb couldn't help but smirk. His eyes locking with mine once his shirt was finally off as he moves to toss it to the side like his jacket and gloves. His jeans hanging dangerously low around his hips. His black riding boots still on his feet, which meant he must have just gotten back from a bike ride. One, I hoped he would take me on the next time he went out for one. But, only when I found the courage to ask him, of course.

"See something that you like?" purrs Caleb, aware that my eyes had yet to leave his body, his voice calm and collective while holding a hint of something else to it as well.

Nodding, I don't dare trust my voice, my tongue moving to lick my bottom lip, unashamed by my actions as Caleb moves to remove his boots and socks next. Each item following the direction of his shirt, his pants being the only article left remaining.

"How's the water?"

"Mmm, wonderful. You should join me."

"Is that a suggestion or an offer?"

"Both"

Pleased with my words, Caleb moves to remove his pants next. His boxers being the only thing that remains as he moves to chuck his pants in the direction of his other articles of clothing before moving to take a few steps back. My eyes watching him as he does, a smirk slowly rising as he moves to dash forward, a squeal rising only seconds later as Caleb takes a running start and jumps into the pool, creating a huge splash as he moves to jump in next to me.

My voice ringing in sheer delight as I move to wipe away the unwanted water from my face only to look up as a warm body fills my presence. My gaze slowly rising to meet Caleb's whose hair is now dripping from the water as we continue to gaze at one another.

"Uh..." I drawl, unsure what to say or do next. His eyes alluring as we just continue staring at one another.

"Shhh, don't speak" whispers Caleb, his hand moving to tilt my face up. His head slowly moving to lean towards mine until we're mere inches from one another.

Doing as I'm told, I wait, my breath swallow as his eyes still continue to watch, his head drawing closer until finally our lips crash together and the next thing I know, we're locked in a battle of lips and strategy as Caleb fights for dominance, a dominance I give him as a moan rises from deep within my throat.

"Mmm, that's my girl. Moan for Daddy" whispers Caleb. His dominance taking over as he slowly continues to devour my mouth with his.
