BEXLEY TURNER

TIME MOVES SLOW WHEN you're thinking. I slouch on Chrissy's couch with a bowl of popcorn on my lap while the TV plays one of the random Christmas movies Nash decided he wanted to watch. The house is quiet, the only sounds are the TV and Nash playing with his train.

Chrissy and Jared are on their honeymoon in Bora Bora and Nash and I have the house to ourselves. To say I'm jealous is an understatement. Maybe me and Hayden will have that. Stab. I rub my chest and grit my teeth.

Hayden.

I haven't spoken to him since Chrissy and Jared's wedding. Since he left me to think. I've thought about what he said over a hundred times but I still haven't decided if leaving my job, my friends behind in California is something I want to do. I'd feel guilty if I left Audrey and our tattoo shop alone. But Hayden and our family matter more than a stupid job.

My phone vibrates in my lap and I carelessly pick it up and look at the bright screen. A text pops up and I click on it.

Hey, Bexley. This is Liam's mom, Eliza. Liam wanted to hang out with Nash and maybe go sledding later today? Would it be okay if I came and picked him up?

I bite my lip as I read the message to myself. "Nash, do you want to hang out with Liam today?" I ask him and his eyes immediately light up. He reaches for his now clean toy train and nods. I smile and text Eliza back.

That'd be great! I'll get him ready. I press send and her reply comes a few seconds later: Great, be there soon!

Nash runs down the hallway as soon as I stand from the couch. I laugh and place my bowl of popcorn on the coffee table. I'll come back for you, I promise the untouched food. Before I leave the room, I scoop a handful of popcorn and eat it as I follow after Nash.

I enter the bedroom chewing the last piece of popcorn before helping Nash put on his boots while he puts on his winter coat. After about five minutes of struggling to zip up his coat, it finally latches. He grabs his hat and gloves when the beep of Eliza's car horn cuts through the air.

Jogging to follow after him, my bare feet slapping against the cold, wooden flooring. Nash runs to the front door, a smile on his face as he pulls the front door open. I grab it so it doesn't smack the wall.

"Bye, have fun! I love you!" I call out to him as he runs to Eliza's car.

"I love you too, mama!" He says back before getting into Eliza's silver, four-door Toyota.

My body leans against the door frame and I wave goodbye before closing the door when a gust of cold wind blows at me. I wrap my arms around myself, holding my phone in my palm as I walk back to the living room where my popcorn waits for me.

Lazily, I flop onto the couch, grabbing my popcorn and starting my very adult movie. The beginning of Mean Girls, starring Lindsay Lohan plays in the background as I look down at my phone. I bite my bottom lip before unlocking my phone, sucking in a sharp breath.

I click on Hayden's contact but before I type out a text, a message from him comes through.

Come over.

❄︎

My hand shakes as I knock on Hayden's apartment door. The text was simple but I knew what it meant as soon as it came through. Before leaving the house, I dressed in black yoga pants, a maroon sweater, and my timberlands. Underneath of my outfit isn't as innocent though. Hayden is in for a surprise.

Hayden's apartment door flies open and he pulls me inside. He pushes me up against his wall and closes the door, clicking the lock into place. "Hi, beautiful," he whispers. I whimper, leaning into him with tinted cheeks.

"Hi," I whisper back, caressing the side of his face with my palm. He leans into my touch and I smile. "I want you to know, me and Nash are coming with you. I love you so fucking much and if these last few days have made me realize anything, it's that I never want to be without you ever again. I'm never leaving you again."

"Good because I plan on making love to you all night long, Bex. Every orgasm, every gasp, every moan is mine. Always have and always will be."

"Please," I beg, pressing my front into him. "I need you. I dont care where, just fuck me, Hayden." The whine slips past my lips and his eyes darken in the dim lights of his apartment.

On the way to his couch, we discard our clothes, pulling and tearing at the material that's keeping us from feeling one another's bare skin. When I can't unclip my bra, I whine and Hayden unsnaps it, revealing my bare breasts to his heated eyes. The rosy buds are erect and hard. I moan when Hayden pinches one in between his calloused fingers. Tingles shoot down to my pussy and I gasp, falling against him.

"It's been so long," I whisper to him and he smiles at me in understanding. "So fucking long since I've had you." His hands grip my hips and he nods, looking at me with raw emotion.

I love you too.

"So beautiful." He lays me down on his couch, his muscular body above mine. I lay my knee on his hip, pulling him down to me so his chest is flush against mine. "And all mine."

With my back pressed against his couch, I melt into it. Hayden slips his hand into my black lace panties, his eyes asking me if it's okay. I nod, arching into his soft touch. When his magical fingers brush over my clit, I gasp, clutching at his shoulders with wide eyes.

He bites his bottom lip as he circles my clit below his fingers. He leans down to capture my lips in his, his erection pressing against my leg, letting me know how hard I make him. I whimper in his mouth, opening my legs more so he knows that I'm ready for him. So damn ready.
