Broken by Love

by C. A. Harms

  Lily rolled to her side, laughing so hard tears fell down her cheeks. “I once had a guy ask me if I would be interested in allowing him to play with my feet.”

  “What?”

  Lily sat up and tried to appear serious. “Honestly, some random guy. Apparently he had a foot fetish, and he wanted to play with mine. He said my toes were sexy, and he would love to touch them. I wasn’t sure if I should be flattered or freaked out.”

  “Oh my god, what did you tell him?”

  “Nothing.”

  “Nothing?” I asked.

  I tried to fight the laughter while I watched her face. Lily was a tiny little thing with shoulder length blonde hair. A few freckles sprinkled across the bridge of her nose, and she had the sweetest smile. I could only imagine some freak approaching her, and her not wanting to offend him.

  “I couldn’t believe what he asked me. I thought I was being punked or something. Who would walk up to some random girl and ask to play with her feet?” She giggled. “I almost said yes just because I didn’t want to offend him.”

  “Oh my god… I knew it. You are too freaking nice. I would have told him I had warts on my feet or something.” Kara snorted once more, and we both turned to face her.

  She held her hand up, trying to control her laughter. “Sorry. Oh my, holy flippin’ hell, I can’t stop.” She broke down again, and it was contagious. Seeing her laugh after having watched her fall into a deep darkness a little less than a month ago was a beautiful sight.

  “I made out with my roommate freshman year.” I choked on my drink, and I swore a little shot out of my nose. I coughed, trying to catch my breath. Kara patted my back and laughed the whole time. I finally looked back up at Lily, and she acted like she just told me she liked cookies or something. She showed no signs of embarrassment. Lily was always so reserved and quiet, but put a little alcohol in this girl, and she let it all hang out.

  “We went to this party and got a little drunk. Next thing I knew, we were in the back bedroom and she was feeling me up while we kissed. I’m pretty sure we both passed out shortly after. It was… interesting.” She shrugged and took another drink, like it was really nothing big. Kara and I just watched her, waiting for more, but nothing came.

  Carson came home shortly after eleven, and he joined us, listening to some of the craziness that continued to flow from both Kara and Lily.

  It was quiet as we watched the countdown. Carson leaned over just as the clock rolled to midnight. “I love you, beautiful.” His lips met mine for a sweet kiss. I thought Lily and Kara were out for the night, but I was wrong.

  Just as our lips parted, Lily mumbled, “Tanner is a really good kisser. Skillful. And oh my god, that tongue of his… yum.” She lay on the couch with her eyes closed. Her breathing slowly evened out before she started to snore.

  I turned to face Carson. “What the fuck?”

  “I’ll talk to him,” Carson declared.

  He’d better talk to him. It would be a cold day in hell before I allowed Lily to be another one of Tanner’s booty calls. She was too sweet for him, and he would only crush her in the end. She deserved better.

  Chapter Thirty Six

  Carson

  The gym was full when I pulled in. It had been a few days since I had made an attempt to work out. Kate, Carley, and I had hidden away in the house for some well-deserved family time. We lounged around in our pajamas and ordered in. We watched movies and cuddled on the couch with Carley snuggled on my chest and Kate tucked at my side. The time alone felt great. No interruptions, just us.

  The moment I entered, my eyes focused on one person I knew I had to handle. I approached Tanner as he set down the weights he had been pressing. “What’s up, Carson? Where you been hiding?” He stood up and grabbed for his water.

  I casually walked around, placing my bag on the floor next to his. The moment he lowered his water I went in for the kill. Wrapping my arm around his neck, I put him in a headlock. He tried to free himself, and I ripped harder. “What the fuck, man?” he groaned.

  “You wanna explain to me how Lily knows about your tongue and its abilities?” He grunted and pushed against my side. A few people glanced our direction and laughed when they realized it was the Parks boys. We were known for roughhousing.

  “What are you talking about, asshole?” I squeezed harder. “Okay, okay. Fuck, man, let me go.” I released him, and his face was red when he looked up at me, rubbing the back of his neck. “I kissed her. So what? Fuck, man, it was one kiss. Not a big deal.”

  “Wrong. It is a big deal. Lily isn’t the kind of girl you’re used to, fuckwad. She is quiet and sweet. She’s innocent, man, and she don’t need your head games.” I took a deep breath and shook my head. “Just do me a favor and stay away from her. The only thing you’re gonna accomplish is to fuck her up.”

  He looked pissed, and I didn’t give a fuck. He just needed to stay the hell away from her. If Kate got her hands on Tanner, this little display would be light compared to what she did. She didn’t want Tanner anywhere near Lily.

  I got home a little after noon, and the house was quiet. I peeked in the nursery and found Carley snuggled and sleeping soundly. As I approached our bedroom, I could hear the shower running. Music was playing low from the stereo on the dresser.

  I quietly removed my clothes and slipped into the bathroom, doing my best to surprise Kate. I could see her through the frosted door glass. Her long legs and soft sweet curves. The water trailing down over her perfect tits as she washed her hair, with her head tilted back. I stood motionless for a moment, taking her in. The girl who made my blood pump to a smoldering boil, the most beautiful, perfect girl.

  I slowly slid the door open just enough to be able to slip in. Her head came forward as her eyes fluttered open. She smiled sweetly, and I could no longer keep my distance. I needed to touch her.

  I placed my hands on her slim hips, pulling her to me. I covered her mouth in a hungry kiss, and she relaxed into me. The soft moan that fell from her lips caused my dick to twitch against her lower stomach. The water splattered against her back and up onto my chest.

  Kate’s fingers danced over my chest as they trailed lower and lower. The moment her hand wrapped around my hardness, my knees felt weak. I pushed myself into her as she began to stroke me faster. Backing away, she lowered herself to her knees, never taking her eyes from mine. My breath came faster as Kate traced the head of my cock with her tongue before taking me into her warm, wet mouth. I wanted to watch her, but the deeper she took me, the harder I fell. My eyes shut tightly and my head fell back as I fought against the urge to drive in hard and faster. I concentrated on the feeling of her hand and tongue.

  Once I was able to control myself, I lowered my head to watch the sexy sight. Watching Kate savor me like I was the greatest treat was so fucking sexy. She has always had the ability to make me feel like I was the fucking king when it came to our intimacy.

  “Katelynn, you need to slow down. Unless you want me to fill your mouth.” She moaned while stroking me in between tracing my length with her tongue. “Fuck, baby.” I gripped her hair with one hand, guiding her gently. “Feels fucking insane, baby, but I meant what I said. I’m gonna blow.” I pulled her back, and she pouted, which only made me smile. “I want to be inside you when I come. I want you to come with me.”

  She bit down on her lower lip as she stood. I turned her around to face the shower wall and pressed my hand into the center of her back, nudging her to bend forward. I slowly ran my hand down her spine, taking in every dip and curve. I bent and placed soft kisses just below her shoulder blade, and she moaned softly. “So beautiful… perfect,” I whispered between kisses.

  I wanted to take it slow with her, savor every touch. My chest ached from the love that consumed me. I gently guided her legs apart with my knee as I continues to kiss and touch. Kate’s hand came back to grip me as she guided my hardness to the place she needed it most. I let her take the lead while I braced myself against the showe
r wall. Looking down between us, I watched her take me into her warmth inch by inch. We both paused once I was fully inside her, just to take in the connection.

  After a moment, she began to move, rotating her hips as I glided in and out of her sweetness. I felt her clenching me as she climbed toward her release.

  It took everything in me not to grab her hips and drive into her hard and fast. I wanted her to control this moment; she was so fucking sexy when she took control. “Oh my god, I’m so close,” she moaned as her movements picked up and she started to push back harder against me. I let one of my hands rest on her hips, squeezing gently.

  “Let go baby… come with me.”

  I tilted my hips and pushed forward as she came back fighting for that extra depth this position gave us. “Fuck,” I groaned as she twitched and squeezed around me. Her legs weakened, and I wrapped my arm around her waist, pumping my hips, dragging out her orgasm. She whimpered as I drove in deeper before I gave in to the pleasure and filled her.

  Chapter Thirty Seven

  Kate

  "This is a really pretty blue, Ry. It goes perfectly with the silver.” I held the silky dress out in front of me, twisting it from side to side. The one-sleeved dresses the bridesmaids would wear were absolutely stunning. Being the maid of honor, I would be wearing the same dress, except in silver. It was sort of like a light dusty blue, and the guys would be sporting the same accent color on their tuxedos.

  The lineup for the wedding party was actually kind of cool. Of course Carson and I would be walking together, followed by Max and Bree. Yep, that could be interesting. Mason and Kelly, of course, and last would be Tanner and Beth.

  Mariah, in all her sweetness, would be the flower girl, and Zander’s boss’s little boy would be the ring bearer. All this wedding planning was only making the itch inside me grow stronger. I was so ready to start planning my day. The day I would finally marry Carson.

  Riley came out from the dressing room wearing her gown. We were at the bridal store for her last fitting. The moment I saw her, my eyes filled with tears. She looked absolutely gorgeous. Zander was going to seriously fall at her feet.

  “How does it look?”

  I stood and walked to her side, looking at her reflection in the mirror. “You look beautiful. It’s perfect.” Her eyes glistened with unshed tears ,and her lower lip trembled.

  “So on a lighter note, are you ready for tonight?” I couldn’t help but giggle.

  “Um, well, that depends on what exactly you have planned. Do you mind sharing any details with me?” Riley looked a little nervous. I laughed and shook my head. “Come on, Kate, just a small hint. Will I be embarrassed?”

  I shrugged and grabbed my bag, walking toward the door. Riley ran up behind me and shoved my shoulder. “Come on, bitch, give me a little. You’re not playing fair.” I kept my lips together to contain my amusement. I loved getting Riley all worked up. She became such a drama queen, and I knew soon it would lead to her pouting. The one problem with her tantrums – I was immune. She could bitch and moan, beg and plead, and I could care less. Zander may have caved, but I held my head high and reveled in the fact that I could beat my best friend. Her whining had absolutely no effect, and I knew it would only drive her more insane.

  “Fine, be a sneaky-ass little bitch. Just remember I get to plan your bachelorette party. I will pay you back for all the shit you pull tonight.” She looked pleased with her declaration.

  “I’m not worried, Riley. You can’t embarrass me. You know it as well as I do. Now you, on the other hand, you make it entirely too easy.” She glared at me as I crawled into the driver’s seat and waited for her to join me in the car.

  ***

  Carson and the guys had their night planned as well. Zander had no idea what he had gotten himself into when he chose Carson as his best man. Max, Tanner, and Carson were enjoying this too much. I was afraid to ask what they had on the agenda.

  The girls and I all chipped in and rented a limo for the night. We figured it would be so much easier, and then no one had to sit out. All the girls were in the whole night. Poor Riley was in the dark completely, and I knew she was going to kill me, but it was so worth it.

  I was just finishing my makeup when Carson came up behind me, wrapping one arm around me. I turned to face him as he held Carley close. “Doesn’t Mommy look beautiful, baby girl? I’m not sure we should let her out of the house without Daddy by her side.”

  I rose up onto my tiptoes and kissed his lips. “Thank you, and I’ll be fine.” I kissed Carley on the forehead and walked out past Carson, looking for my purse.

  “Babe, seriously, you girls need to be safe. I don’t like the idea of you running around alone.” Daddy Carson to the rescue. I rolled my eyes.

  “Don’t roll your eyes at me.” I started to argue, and he arched his brow.

  I sighed. “Fine, I rolled my eyes.” He smiled that cocky damn grin. “We’re being careful, I promise. You’ll all be out, too, and if anything happens or if we need our big, bad men, we’ll call.”

  After we placed Carley in her car seat, Carson told me goodbye.

  “I love you.”

  “I love you too, very much. You have nothing to worry about, I promise.” I kissed his lips once more before backing out of our driveway.

  Chapter Thirty Eight

  Carson

  I instantly regretted letting Max and Tanner take over planning the bachelor party. The moment I stepped out of the limo, I let my head hang. “Wild X,” I groaned. Seriously, I don’t know why the fuck I was shocked. A strip club was right up their alley.

  I followed behind the guys as we entered the club. The erotic thrum of the music filled my ears. I let my gaze wander around the room, taking it all in. A few half naked girls rode poles on the center stage. Scattered around the room I saw several girls performing private lap dancing while guys drooled over their bodies.

  Okay, six months ago this place was a fucking dreamland. Today I could honestly say there was only one woman’s tits I wanted in my face. A hot-ass little blonde who just happened to be out somewhere doing god knew what. The idea that she could be somewhere watching half naked men shove their dicks in women’s faces made my chest ache. I completely trusted Kate. I just didn’t trust all those fucking horny guys out there who preyed on drunk women.

  “Carson, snap out of it, man. Did you borrow your girl’s vagina or grow your own? Get the fuck up to speed. There is pussy everywhere, and you’re hiding in the doorway.” Max chuckled, and I flipped him off. Lately he had been harder to tolerate. He was definitely a bigger asshole than usual.

  “No, dude, I am perfectly happy with the pussy I already have. Don’t see the need to look for anything more. This is for you guys. I’m just the innocent fuck you all drug along to keep your asses in line.” Of course the only thing my statement got me was flipped off, followed by a few chuckles.

  After two hours at the club and three lap dances for Zander, he was ready to go. He looked completely uncomfortable but was making every attempt to not bring attention to it.

  My phone vibrated in my pocket, and I grabbed for it. The moment I opened the text message I started laughing.

  “What the fuck are you laughing at?” Tanner asked from the barstool next to me. I turned the phone so he could see the video on the screen. “What the fuck? Hey, Z, your girl found a new cock to play with.”

  I chuckled when Zander jumped up from the chair and almost trampled the brunette who had been shaking her ass in front of him for the last half hour. He grabbed my phone, and you could almost see the steam coming out of his ears. The moment he took in the video, his face softened and he chuckled. “Damn, Ry’s cock is huge.”

  “Looks like they’re having fun. Good, clean fun.” The statement sunk in to Zander immediately, and he nodded and handed my phone back to me. Riley was wearing a blow-up cock attached to a pair of underwear. All the girls were dancing around her as she pretended to ram them with her new appendage.

&n
bsp; At one point, Bree dropped to her knees and licked the blow-up dick, and Riley screamed, “Suck it, Bree! That’s right, baby.” Of course that statement only gained the attention of Max, and he yanked my phone out of my hand. He held it out, staring at the screen, and his expression was unreadable.

  After a few more seconds he held my phone back out, and I looked at the screen and saw the video had ended. My eyes met Max’s, and I could not decide if he was pissed or hurt. He was hard to fucking read lately. “Let’s get the fuck outta here and hit the bars,” he grumbled, and I knew the look on his face was a mixture of both emotions.

  We spent the next two hours at a bar called Jax, and I was feeling pretty fucked up. We had some crazy game going on, and my ass was losing. Zander, Mason, and I seemed to be the only ones who refused to give details regarding our sex lives. Every time we were asked a question, we took a shot instead. Tanner and Max had no respect for their past conquests and spilled every detail freely.

  Tanner broke out with the next series of questions, and I just shook my head. “Best sex you ever had. Who and when?”

  Zander spoke up first. “Well, Riley, of course, but the when and where will be left unsaid. I respect your sister entirely too much to give up that shit. So bottoms up, cocksuckers.” He slammed his drink back. “You motherfuckers are gonna have to carry my ass outta here. Damn, I am fucked up.”

  I chuckled and shook my head. This only got the attention focused on me. I held up my hands and smiled. “Kate is the only answer I am giving. The details will also be left hidden. Sorry, I ain’t sharing.”
