Chapter 26: Taking the next step
Sophie's POV
My alarm started blaring at 6 AM. What the fire truck. As I groaned and rolled over to pick that fucker up and throw it against the wall, I slammed into a warm solid mass. Ugh. I pulled one eye open and found myself staring at Sam's massive chest. Oh. I started grinning. I still wasn't used to the idea of having someone to wake up to every morning, but I sure could find myself getting used to it pretty quick. Was it too soon to tell him to pack up his shit and move in?
I reached around him to hit the snooze button and rolled back over to face him. I snuggled in, thinking over the past few days. Though we had spent three wonderful nights cuddling together, nothing had happened since Saturday. I was slowly losing control. I mean seriously, how long was I expected to sleep next to this serious sex-on-a-stick and keep my hands to myself?
I brought my hands up the front of his chest and traced the curves of his body, moving back down to his arms. He kept snoring lightly. I placed a kiss on the hollow of his collar bone. He didn't even move. Hrmph. Time to step up my game. I scooted closer and rubbed up against him. Bingo. I felt him starting to get aroused, but that effer just kept on snoring. Could he arrest me for assaulting him while sleeping? Fuck it; I could live with that on my record.
I brushed my lips lightly across his collar bone and shoulders, moving up to his neck until I found his earlobe, letting my warm breath tickle his ear. Before I could bite down on his earlobe gently, I felt two warm hands slowly move up my thighs to cup the bottom of my ass. He squeezed hungrily as I groaned and brought one of my legs around his side.
He pulled back a little to kiss me. "Good morning," he mumbled, his lips still on mine.
"Less talk, more kissing." He chuckled and obliged, moving his hands further up until he was right at the top of my panties. YES! Please. I bit my lip in anticipation and....
Then the fucking bane of my existence this morning started blaring again. Fuck that fucking clock. Sam pulled back, twisting his head to look at the time. Oh no. Oh no no no. I turned him back to me, kissing him and snaking my leg further around him to keep him pinned there. He pulled back again.
"Angel, I have to get to work and you have to get to the airport."
Was he CRAZY?! I was not stopping now, no way. I needed this man, and now. As he rolled over to turn off the alarm I crawled on top of him, slowly circling my hips against his erection. I couldn't help it...every cell in my body craved him. He groaned, and I suddenly became even more turned on. Knowing my actions were driving him wild too, gah, it was just totally hot. When did I get so fucking lucky, to have this man be so turned on by little old me?
"Sophie." Sam usually only saved that tone for talking to the young ones. I pulled back, my mouth turning down into a frown. He smiled at me. "Seriously." I glared at him, huffing as I crawled off top to stand up. Okay, so he was right, we did need to get moving, and besides, if we didn't stop soon my big cockblocking oaf of a brother would have stopped us anyway. I needed a shower, preferably ice cold.
Sam moved to get up and follow me to the bathroom, but I whirled around and held up my hand to stop him. "You. Stay here. Or I will never want to leave the shower."
He started laughing. Jerk. "Okay, if you say so. But..." He stalked towards me, pushing me against the wall. "Tonight, it's you, and me, and no one else. Because Angel, a man can only take so much torture." Holy hot pants, how was I supposed to function for the rest of the day? Sam winked at me, enjoying my obvious distraction, and ducked away to lazily flop back onto my bed. He grabbed the remote and started flipping through the channels nonchalantly while I tried to regain my composure. "Enjoy your thoughts Soph...I mean shower."
I snapped out of it and scowled at him. Seducing Fucker.
I started the shower and stood under the stream of water. My mind raced through the events of the past few days and the little piece of metal sitting in a drawer in my kitchen. Could I give it to him? Would he be ready for that step? Was I ready for that step? Why was I being such a wishy washy nut case? Sophie Coleman does NOT do unsure.
But I mean what if I am moving too fast, I know how I feel and I THINK he feels the same. Argh. I slammed my conditioner back into the rack. Why does this have to be so hard? It isn't hard you chicken shit little girl, get your big girl panties on and JUST DO IT. Fuck you Nike.
I took my time getting ready; when I emerged I found Ben and Sam sitting around the island in the kitchen eating cereal. "I would have cooked guys. Lucky Charms is SO not the breakfast of champions."
Ben looked at his watch before setting his bowl in the sink. "Nope, dad said 7AM sharp. I'm ready when you are." He headed out of the kitchen to grab his bags. "Besides, they're magically delicious ya know."
"Okay, well, guess we better be going then," I called to his disappearing form, moving around the island to hop up on the counter next to Sam who was sitting on a stool. He slid the cereal box over to me, and I popped a few marshmallows in my mouth, chewing thoughtfully for a minute before talking again.
JUST DO IT SOPHIE, I mentally pepped myself. He's always here lately, the twins and Quil already have keys, hell even Abbey got one, it's no biggie. Right. It's natural. Right? Right.
"So, it's a long drive...I guess I'll see you around dinner?" I looked at him from the corner of my eye waiting to see if he could see the battle raging inside me, be afraid Sam, be very afraid.
"Yeah, I'm just going to hop in the shower real quick if that's okay. I'll lock up when I leave."
JUST DO IT my head screamed. He's giving you an opening, take that fucker and run with it like your Forrest Fucking Gump.
"Sure, sure. I have something for you though." I jumped up and walked around the island and pulled out the little piece of metal that had me all vexed. I handed it to him and he stared at me like I was offering up a poisonous apple. FUCK, I was going to scare him away. I knew it was too soon.
I pulled the key away and put it back in the drawer. Everything was going great and I ruined it. Who's the emotional fucktard now Sophie? Remind me to boycott Nike and their fucking inspirational slogans. I heard his stool scoot across the tile floor and he came around the counter. He pushed me aside gently and opened the drawer and pulled out the key.
"What's this for Angel?" He asked holding the key up to me.
"It's for you, but it's too soon, I'm sorry, just can we please forget about it?" I grabbed the key again and went to walk away. Guys don't move that fast, guys don't want to feel trapped, guys don't like clingy.
Sam grabbed my back belt loop and pulled me back and pinned me between him and the counter with his fucking log arms. "Look at me." I shook my head and he sighed a frustrated sigh and moved one arm so that he could lift my chin up.
"Sophie, what was that key for?" he asked again this time a little more demanding.
"I just thought, it would be easier, for you, if you were here when I wasn't, to have a key. But it's too soon, I know I'm rushing things and I mean we haven't even officially, I mean what are we Sam? What am I to you?"
"You have to ask?" he looked hurt but amused at the same time. "Sophie, what's all this self doubt, this isn't my girl…"
"Well…" I said looking at him waiting for him to tell me where he stood with this, whatever we were.
"Okay, well," he said pulling me up to the counter and standing in between my legs. "I would say call me your boyfriend but that would trivialize things wouldn't it?" And then he leaned down and kissed me deeply, passionately. Not a horny kiss, but like he was trying to show me how he felt about me.
"Angel, you are everything I've ever wanted. Don't ever be scared of showing me that you feel the same way. And I was just shocked is all, I'm sorry if I made you second guess yourself." And then he grabbed the key and placed it on his key chain while taking another key off.
"Here, now you can come to my house anytime you want as well." He said handing me the key he had just taken off the ring.
"Sam," I scoffed, "I don't even know where you live."
"Well, I'll pick you up at 6 tonight and make you dinner for a change." Then he leaned into me and whispered against my lips. "And pack a bag because you won't be back tonight." I shivered at his suggestive tone.
"Now, no more questioning how I feel about you ok?" I just nodded. "I know you're scared, we're moving pretty fast here. But that is why we agreed to wait on…certain…things, right? This is where I belong Sophie, don't forget that."
"Ok." I let out a relieved sigh. He kissed me one last time and moved to go take a shower. "By the way, Quil is riding to the airport with you."
"What?"
"Yeah, he called last night to say bye to Ben and said he'd drive along to Seattle to keep you company."
"Sam, this protective streak of yours, you don't plan on giving it up anytime soon do you?" He just smirked at me.
"Nope, does it bother you?" Sexy Fucker.
"Would it matter?" I said jokingly.
"Naw, better get used to it, I'm sure Bella has some coping techniques you can try." And then he shut the bathroom door and I heard the water start.
~~**~~
Anne didn't go to the airport with us this time. She said it would be too hard. She and dad said their goodbyes last night and she was up and out of the house before we got there to pick him up. On the way to Seattle, all us kids questioned dad about what was going on in their relationship.
"Big decisions need to be made." Was all he said and his tone made it known that the topic was over.
When we got to the airport we said good bye and daddy whispered in my ear, "I'll be back soon, I don't know if you're brother will be with me but we've got some things to talk about baby girl."
I gave him a heartfelt smile and knew he had something cooking in that brain of his, I just didn't know what. Quil and I decided to stop at a mall near the airport to stretch our legs before the long drive back to La Push.
"Tell me what's going on with you and Seth." I sort of just blurted out but did they think I was blind.
"What are you talking about?" Seriously. Dumb Dumb.
"I'm not an idiot, you're like my brother, he's like my best friend, you think I don't know you guys are avoiding each other?"
"It's nothing, it was nothing. We've got bigger issues to worry about so whatever it was, it's over."
"Just like that?" I was always amazed at guys' ability to just squash beef so easily. Like they could be fist fighting one minute and best friends the next.
"Yeah just like that. He was mad at me for keeping something from him but then...well..." he wrapped his arm around my shoulder. "Then we decided some things were more important than the trivial stuff."
As if to change the change the subject he turned the tables on me.
"So things are getting pretty serious with Sam, huh?"
"Yeah looks that way, I know it's only been a few weeks but it just feels right."
"No one's judging you guys; it was just an observation Fifi."
"Yeah but it's pretty silly huh? Considering our past and all, maybe we shouldn't be so quick to jump into things."
Quil stopped and led me to a small bench in the mall. "Sophie," uh oh he never calls me Sophie, "you said you felt drawn to him from the moment you met him right?" I just nodded.
"You've seen how quickly mom and Jimmy are falling in love, how instant it was for Cam and Seth." I just nodded again, where was he going with this.
"Then why can't you see it when it happens to you?" Huh? Is he serious?
"Brother Bear, Sam and I are just dating." Liar.
"Sophie, you're in love. He's in love. He's just waiting for you to realize it." And with that he walked away to go look in Spencer's. That fool loved that stupid store. I sat there for at least 10 minutes. I do. I love Sam Uley and my heart knows that he loves me back.
I was a grinning fool on the way home. Quil rolled his eyes every time he looked over at me and my smile would get bigger.
~~**~~
We got back to La Push around 4 PM; I had called the twins on the way home so they could make sure they had Koda back to me when I got there. I don't know what they did all day with him but he was wiped out. Leah had taken my shift at the store today so I could go to the airport. I called her too and thanked her. We made plans to do wings again on Thursday at Jared and Paul's place.
"So Sam said that he's cooking you dinner at his place tonight and that we shouldn't be expecting to get fed," Brady said with a pout on his lips. My boys, I was spoiling them a little too much. I chuckled lightly.
"Well, I just so happened to have something that I threw together last night. You can take it over to Quil's and put it in the oven for one hour and it will be ready."
The boys and I walked into the house and I got out the large baked spaghetti casserole that I whipped up last night. I hadn't intended to have Sam invite me to his place, but I did intend to have him alone one way or another. Seriously, I needed to get a hold of my libido or I was going to explode.
"Thanks Momma," Collin said as he grabbed the dish and placed a kiss on my check. "By the way, my mom and dad wanted me to invite you over for dinner next week. They want to meet the big sister they never had."
"Oh, ok, that sounds nice." I never really ever thought about them still having parents at home. It was just that they were always with us. "Brady, what about your parents? Should I meet them too so they can finally see who's stolen you from them every night?"
"No worries momma, my parents moved to Arizona during my senior year last year. I've been staying with Collin since then." Oh that's unusual.
"Um, are you ok with that?"
He just laughed, "Yeah my grandpa was really sick and they wanted to take care of him. I can't leave, or I mean I didn't want to leave during my senior year so they let me stay. It's not a biggie; I've got lots of people looking out for me."
That was true; I'd never seen people look after each other like these people do.
I went back to my room to shower and freshen up. Sam was coming at 6. Now I was standing in my bedroom with my underwear drawer open staring at the contents like they were going to reveal the secrets of life to me. Why was I so nervous, I'd been sleeping next to this man for 3 days now.
I decided for simple and slip on a nice pair of black lace booty shorts and matching bra. I threw on a short khaki skirt and blue long sleeved blouse. I put my usual sleeping attire of shorts and t shirt in my bag though I was planning on not needing them. I wasn't planning on sex yet tonight, but I was definitely getting some action.
Sam showed up at six on the nose still dressed in his police uniform. Yummy! He had that damn sexy grin on his face when he saw me waiting on the porch.
"Miss me did you?" He asked as he walked up to the porch. Deciding to show him rather than tell him, I pulled on his neck until he bent down to me and I kissed him soft and slow. Let the foreplay begin. He groaned as he reached around me and moved his hands down to cup my ass.
Suddenly very aware that we were outside, I pulled away too fast and grabbed my bag off the porch.
He went around and opened my door for me then opened his door and pulled his seat forward so Koda could climb in the back seat. Of course, where ever I go my four legged baby goes. It only took us a few minutes to get to Sam's, I realized that he lived right near the water like me only we had to drive up a steep hill to get to his house.
We pulled up to a small single story house that looked like it'd been there for some time. It was in good shape mind you, but old and dingy. Well what was I expecting he is a single guy? He let Koda out and I waited for him to come around and open my door. I went to get my stuff and he already had it in his hand. He placed in on the car and led me away from the house.
"Where are we going Sam?" I was thoroughly confused.
"I want to show you the best part before it gets dark." He led me about 200 yards from the house and I noticed we were on a high cliff. It was breath taking. I gasped when I saw his view. On one side of the cliff I saw the ocean and the beach that stretch from my backyard to the state park. On the other side of the cliff I could see most of the Rez. It was beautiful.
"This, this is why I bought this place. It's a shitty house, but I make due, I couldn't pass up on this." He said motioning toward the 180 degree view around him. He was right. I'd live in a trailer if it meant I could wake up to this every morning.
"It's beautiful." I turned to him and he was looking down but I could see the blush on his face. Awe can't take the attention? Cute Fucker.
"Yeah well, how about we get back to the house and cook some dinner?" On cue my stomach growled and he let out a loud chuckle.
Once we were inside his house I was pleasantly surprised at how nice it was. I guess I was expecting a bachelor pad but this was anything but. It was clean and open, the furniture all matched. He told me where to put my bag and went into the kitchen to start dinner. I walked down the hallway to the master bedroom and opened the door.
I saw a huge bed, of course, what else would fit him? His furniture was minimal but it was nice. On my way back to the kitchen I stopped to notice a lot of pictures on the walls. Some were of the whole family, some of just the guys. I saw one of Sam and an older woman who I assume is his mother, I wonder why he doesn't mention her. I have so much to learn.
There were a few pictures where he and Leah were next to each other with the whole gang and I felt a little jealous at their history. I know that they don't have feelings for each other anymore but I still feel like she has a little part of him that I never will. I continued my self guided tour of the house; I wasn't snooping just looking at what I saw in plain sight. I turned the corner and found Sam behind the counter seasoning steaks. Koda was at his feet hoping for some scraps.
He looked up when I entered the room and smiled brightly. "So, what do you think of Casa de Uley?"
"Very nice, I expected girly posters and empty beer cans but I can honestly say I think I like this better." We both laughed.
I hopped up on the counter next to where he was standing slicing potatoes. I couldn't help but notice everything about him, how sexy he looked with his uniform sleeves rolled up. His strong forearms as he maneuvered the large kitchen knife with ease. The way his Adam's' apple bobbed when he swallowed. I felt myself getting woozy.
He looked at me from the corner of his eyes without lifting his head. I bit my lip in anticipation, I was dripping wet and I could fucking care less if Koda ate everything in this kitchen right now. I don't know if he was on the same page as me or what but he put the knife down and practically threw the potatoes and cutting board to the other side of the counter.
His large hands grabbed my hips and he roughly jerked me over to in front of him. His hungry lips found mine and I worked my hands up to the back of his head and fisted my hand into his hair. I moaned loudly and scooted to the end of the counter needing him as close as I could get him.
"Two days…" he panted as he pulled my head back to gain access to my neck, "…two days is too fucking long to go without touching you."
I moved my hands to the front of his shirt so I could start unbuttoning it. "Yes, yes, too long," was all I could say. I pulled his shirt off and quickly discarded the t-shirt he had on underneath. I tickled his collar bone with my tongue.
His hands started slowly moving up my thighs searing his touch into my skin. I wrapped my legs high around his hips so that he could have more access to my skirt. I moaned again louder as his hands moved up to cup my ass.
"Hold on," he said as he lifted me off the counter and carried me down the hallway. Once we were in his bedroom he set me down so that we were both standing near the bed. His hands caressed my back as he lifted up the hem of my shirt to pull it off. He pulled off my skirt so that I was standing there in just my lingerie.
"Angel, you are so beautiful." He said as he sat down on the edge of the bed and pulled me to stand between his legs. I reached behind me and unclasped my bra as he slowly pulled down the straps and let it fall to the floor. I gasped as his warm touch cupped my left breast in one of his hands and he took my right one in his mouth.
"Sammmm," I groaned as he rolled my nipple around with his tongue gently nipping it with his teeth. His other hand trailed up my thigh and moved to my center. He gently massaged my heat with the palm of his hand while continuing to work both my breasts.
I pulled away from him and leaned down to crawl over him. I was in desperate need of his body next to mine. I kissed him as we turned so that we were both fully on the massive bed now. Our tongues danced with each other while our hands discovered each other's body.
I made short work of his pants and boxers. He hissed in pleasure when I grabbed his erection and used my thumb to swirl the wetness that was resting on top. I got on top of him still in my underwear and started grinding my hips into him.
I started working him hard as he grabbed my hips to help lead my movements.
"Sophie, baby, god that feels so good. You look so fucking beautiful on top of me right now."
"Oh god, Sam, fuck," I said forcing myself onto him harder. I was so turned on when he talked to me, it was like he could sense that and kept going.
"Harder baby, Soph rub harder, I want to make you cum while you ride me." Ugh. I felt the muscles in my stomach tighten with that familiar ache that was so fucking good. I leaned forward onto him so that my chest was resting on his giving him a chance to leverage his hips up so that he was sliding along my wet panties in just the right spot.
I leaned back up and looked him straight in the eye with a cocky smirk. I slowly trailed my hands down my chest squeezing my breasts along the way causing him to buck up into me. I reached the waste of my panties and pushed my hand down into them.
Sam stared at me with wide eyed anticipation and I circled my own core with my hand dripping it with my juices. My eyes never left his as I pulled it out and swirled my hand over his shaft coating him with my juices.
"Fuck baby that was fucking hot." He yelled out. He leaned up from the bed and took my breast into his mouth roughly. I started panting and moving faster and faster against his erection. We were both so close.
"I'm ready Sam, oh fuck, I'm ready."
"Let go Angel," he said as he leaned back slightly and looked at me as I came harder than I'd ever come and this was just dry fucking. He jerked twice more and then squeezed my body tightly in his arms hold me still against him while he spasmed his own release onto both of us.
After laying there still on top of him for a few minutes he ran his fingers through my hair moving it out of my face and kissed me.
"So, I guess we need to get cleaned up huh? And I did promise you dinner." I sat up and got off the bed following him to the bathroom where we jumped in the shower together to rinse off our bodies.
"Thank you Angel," he said as he tied a towel around me before getting his own. I giggled lightly.
"Thank you for what Sam?" Looking into his eyes I stopped my laugh short when I saw the intensity his gaze.
"For finding me." Was all he said and I fell in love a little bit more.
After a nice dinner and sitting outside to play with Koda a bit we headed in for bed.
"Do you have to work in the morning?" I asked him knowing I didn't have to be to the store until noon.
"Yes, I have the night shift, which means we can sleep in, but it also means I won't be done until midnight." I knew we were both thinking the same thing.
"Well, good thing you have a key then huh?" And he just nodded.
We stayed up and tried to watch a movie in bed but spent most of the time talking. I found out that his mother remarried a few years ago and now lives near Seattle with her new husband. That his father Joshua was never really around and that he doesn't even know where he is now. I started to feel bad for him but was reminded of the amount of family he was surrounded by. He was loved.
Shortly after 11 PM we gave up on the movie and turned it off. A hot and heavy make out session turned into another mind shattering orgasm as Sam learned his way around my clit with his mouth, tongue and teeth. Never before had a no sex rule been so damn satisfying.
Please review you know I love them. lol
