Irresistible, Part 3
"Come on Kel, stop it," David mumbled as she dabbed at his split lip. He leaned away a little to avoid it.
Kellie propped her hands on her hips and gave him a reproachful look. "Stop being a baby," she said that as she grasped his chin between her fingers and dabbed the alcohol soaked cotton on the cut.
He winced slightly. "That hurts."
"Well if you hadn't volunteered yourself as a punching bag for Jonathon, then I wouldn't have to do this," she said with exasperation, taking a few steps back. "You were lucky the party was wrapping up by the time you showed yourself again. I had a hell of a time explaining where you were to those women your dad rescued me from."
"I'm
sorry."
"You better be sorry."
"I really am babe. I didn't mean to go off like that and get the crap beaten out of me, but you know, it's better me getting beat up then having Jonathon slam his fists through plate glass."
"You Maxwells, so overemotional," Kellie said as she shook her head. She turned on her heel and went into her bathroom with the used cotton balls and the ice pack.
David followed her with his eyes as she left the room. He shut his eyes. She hadn't really lit into him like Victoria had Chris, but he could see how upset she was. It was mirrored in her amethyst eyes.
She came back out. She had since changed out of the outfit she had worn to the party. She was now wearing a button up shirt that she had snitched from David. She walked back over to him and leaned down to look him in the face. "I'm not really mad David, but I just wish you hadn't gotten so involved with this mess between your brother and Leigh."
"I know, but it's hard not to be involved. He's my brother and it's going to affect me, Chris, Randy, our parents. There's not much I can do to avoid it. And I know you think that he's being overemotional, but this is really hard for him."
"I know this is hard for him. I'm sorry that he has to go through this, but even I know he has to do this alone. He has to correct his own mistakes," Kellie said as she sat down on his lap and pressed her forehead against his jaw.
David sighed against her hair and rubbed her back with his hand. "What did I do to get an understanding woman like you?" he asked softly.
"You didn't have to anything. It was just you," she replied, as she turned on his lap and faced him. She kissed him lightly, careful of the cut on his lip.
His hands pressed against her back, holding her to him. He rubbed his nose against hers. "I love you," he said quietly.
Kellie smiled against his mouth. "I know. I love you too." She kissed him again.
David returned the kiss. It had been awhile since he had gotten to be completely alone with her. They hadn't much time between coming home from their respective schools and the engagement party. And tomorrow was her birthday and Christmas.
She looped her arms around his neck as the kiss continued to become more intense and heated. She could feel his hands twisting the back of her nightshirt. She pressed herself up against him fully. She heard him growl in his throat. "Missed that didn't you?" she laughed huskily against his mouth.
"You're bad," David said raggedly as he let his hands slide down to her hips.
"And you love it." She braced her hands against his chest and pushed him slightly until he was forced to move further back on her four-poster bed.
He smirked at her and pulled her down on top of him. His hand threaded its way through her silky raven hair as his mouth found hers again. His other hand slid down her back over the slope of her firm backside.
Kellie braced her hands on his chest. She could feel the rapid pounding of his heart. Her nimble fingers began to undo the buttons of his shirt.
David felt the tantalizing touch of her nails on his skin, making his nerves endings sizzle. He rolled her to her back, his one leg resting between hers. He left her mouth to trail kisses down her neck to the first button of her shirt.
She arched her neck back to allow him better access. She sighed as she felt his tongue flick against her throat. "Mmm…David."
He couldn't stop from smiling against her skin as she said his name. His finger found the first button of her shirt and one by one; they fell open under his deft hands. He leaned away from her and shrugged off his shirt, tossing it to the side. He gazed at her for a moment. Her eyes were closed and there was a satisfied little smile curving her lips. Her unbuttoned shirt only showed a strip of skin down the center of her torso. He bent his head and kissed the valley between her breasts. He could smell the lilac wafting off her skin. He traveled up and started kissing her collarbone, pushing the cotton aside with his nose as he kissed towards her shoulder.
Kellie let him do what he wanted. It all felt good to her. She couldn't stop the giggle that escaped her lips when his hair brushed against her exposed throat.
David paused for a moment and listened to her laughter as it bubbled from her throat. He bent his head again and purposefully slid his hair along her smooth skin. More laughter welled up. "You're too ticklish," he murmured, grinning.
"Well if you keep doing that, of course I'm going to laugh," she giggled as she tried to move away only to be pulled back. She pushed herself up on her elbows, their lips meeting again. Soon, they were both sitting up in the middle of the bed; their lips still connected. She continued to push herself forwards, making him move back towards the headboard.
His back hit the headboard as her lips left his. He watched in fascination as she shrugged the shirt off. The moonlight spilled across her skin, making it glow. Her eyes gleamed like the jewel in her engagement ring.
Kellie regarded him thoughtfully as she straddled his lap again. She could see her reflection in the blue violet of his eyes. She could see the love and the passion in them. She traced his jaw with her fingertips as she nipped at his lips. Her fingers slid up towards his ears, the spot she knew that made him melt like an ice cube.
David realized her intent and tried to move his head, knowing that once she touched his ears, he would be putty in her hands. It was his one weakness that he wished she didn't know about. But he wasn't able to avoid her fingers.
She rubbed his ears.
"Not fair," he mumbled as he almost slid down the headboard. Throbbing sensations shot through his body as she massaged the lobes between her fingers.
"I think it's completely fair," she whispered triumphantly as she raked her nails on the shell of his ear, making him shudder.
"Then two can play that game," he replied as he cupped her breasts in his hands, his fingers rotating over her nipples.
Her breath caught in her throat.
"Turn about is always fair play," he whispered as he kissed her.
Kellie whimpered into his mouth as his fingers teased her. Her head fell back as his mouth left hers to travel down her throat. She leaned up a little as his lips moved further down.
David moved his hands from her breasts to her back, strumming her spine lightly as he nuzzled the inner curves with his nose. The scent of her perfume drowning his senses, making him oblivious to everything else. He covered one pert nipple with his lips, sucking gently.
She whimpered again into his hair as she bent her head over his. Her fingers pressed against the sides of his neck, her thumbs rubbing the back of his ears. "More." She slid her hands down to his shoulders as he moved to the other side, laving her skin with his tongue. She slowly slid back down again, their lips melding together again. She trailed her nails down his chest and stomach to the waistband of his pants. She hesitated, waiting for him to protest, but when he didn't, she swiftly undid them. They were tossed to the floor, leaving him only in dark blue boxers. She straddled his lap again.
His tongue met hers as he stroked her hips with his fingers. His skin was tingling from wherever her nails seemed to touch as they slid over his skin.
Kellie loved the feel of his skin. The taunt muscles under the tanned skin. Her fingers slid up and down his legs, her nails raking over the cotton material of his boxers. They made a slightly scratchy noise at each pass. Then she let one hand brush over his erection.
David's eyes popped open when her hand stayed where it was and when she grasped his one hand that had been resting on her hip and pressed it between her thighs. He didn't breathe for a moment. She pressed his fingers against her so he could feel the incredible heat and how wet she really was. He almost groaned as she let her hand slide up and down on him. He banged his head on the headboard once as desire ripped through him. He moved his fingers slightly against her softness. She whimpered raggedly.
She felt herself get even wetter. She opened her eyes and watched his face. His eyes were closed again. She caressed him again, this time making him growl. A satisfied smile spread on her lips. She rotated her hips over his hand, making herself gasp sharply at the rush of sensation as it coursed through her. "Mmm…"
He ground his head ground his head on the headboard, hard. He didn't know how he was doing it. His control was hanging on by a thread. He banged his head on the headboard, trying to block out what he was feeling as he tried to think. "You know you want to. I don't. Yes, you do. Would you pass this opportunity up? Think about how it would feel to be inside her. I'm not thinking this. I'm not. Don't you want to hear her say your name as she climaxes? Don't you want those slender thighs wrapped about your hips? Stop it! Stop it! Come on, what can it hurt? You'll be married to her soon. And she wants you to make love to her. Come on." He banged his head even harder, trying to block out his body's urgings and what she was doing. He was hanging onto the little bit of rationality he possessed. Her hand stroked him again and her hot flesh pressed enticingly against his fingers. He could almost imagine her shrieking in ecstasy as he made love to her. He squelched that thought with another bang on the headboard. The back of his head was beginning to hurt, but not enough to block out what she was doing.
Kellie was thrilled he wasn't stopping her. "About damn time. Maybe he was just waiting until my birthday to make love to me. Finally." With a wicked smirk creasing her lips, she slid her hand inside his boxers, her hand enfolding around his hard flesh. She ground her hips down on his hand, waiting for him to slip his fingers underneath the pale pink string bikini she was wearing. She shuddered in delight as more sensations rushed through her. "David," she said on a serrated sigh.
By this time, David had banged his head hard enough on the heavy wooden headboard to make the pain feel good. With the last ounce of control he possessed and her slackening grip on his wrist, he removed his hand from between her thighs. "Kel," he groaned as she moved her hand.
"Yes?"
"We can't."
"Yes we can. Just this time I want you to be inside of me."
"Oh God, Kel, please don't do this to me."
Her eyes honed in on his in the darkness. Her hand stilled. "David?"
"You have to stop. We have to stop," he said through clenched teeth.
"Why?"
"Kellie, please don't make me do this."
She removed her hand and propped the both of them on her hips as she leaned away from him. "What are you saying?"
"Kel, for my sake and yours, don't make my answer that," David pleaded as he looked at her flawless face.
"You don't want to, is that it?" she stated flatly. Her lips twitched.
He saw that twitch, but he wasn't going to lie to her either. "Yes, that's it," he replied faintly.
Kellie pushed away from him and grabbed the shirt on the end of the bed. It happened to be the one that he had worn earlier during the party. She was biting her lips, keeping her comments to herself.
David watched as she yanked the shirt on and got off her bed. Her movements clearly indicated that she was angry as she walked across her room to her walk in closet. He sighed and swung his legs over the side of the bed, retrieving his pants from the floor. He pulled them on and waited for her to come back out. When she came out of her closet, she was wearing black leggings with the shirt. Her hair swung loose as she walked. "Yup, she's pissed." "Kellie," he said softly.
She growled when she heard him call her. She sat down at her vanity and began to brush her hair furiously.
When she didn't reply, he got up and walked over to her and stood behind her. He watched as she raked the brush hard through her thick locks. "Kellie."
Kellie gritted her teeth as he said her name again. "Lights on," she said as her room flooded with warm yellow light. She turned to look at him.
David
could see that she was extremely angry. Her eyes impaled him. They glittered
like cold jewels. "You're pissed."
"Damn right I am," she snapped at him as she stood up. She poked him in the chest with her finger. "And I have every right to be you jerk."
"Kellie…"
"Don't you Kellie me, David Philip. You listen to me. What the hell is your fucking problem? Why the hell don't you want to have sex with me?"
David regarded her warily as her voice rose several notches in volume. Unlike his brothers, he didn't provoke a fight with his girlfriend. He knew by this time, Chris would have antagonized Victoria even more, and Jonathon and Leigh would be engaged in a yelling match. "Can you calm down?"
"No! I'm not going to let it go by this time mister. I want an answer!"
"Fine," he said with exasperation. "One, I'm not going to make love to you while I'm under your father's roof. Two, I want to wait until marriage. And three, it's because I love you too much."
Kellie's eyes narrowed even more from his explanation. "You call that an answer?"
He raked an agitated hand through his tousled hair. "Kellie, those are my reasons."
"For right now you mean. Don't you want to sleep with me?"
His eyes softened a little as he touched her cheek with the back of his hand. "Yes, I want to, but I want to wait until we're married."
"Why!"
"Because I want it to be more special that's why."
She pushed his hand away and crossed her arms belligerently. "Weren't those other girls special too?" she hissed.
He closed his eyes and let out a drawn out breath. "They weren't you. I cared about them, but I didn't love them like I do you. That's what makes you more special. That's why I want to wait."
"We they just as willing as I am?"
"Yes, most of them were."
"Did they have to ask?"
"Not all of them had to."
His reply infuriated her even more.
He could see the angry flush on her cheeks. She wasn't one to lose her temper often. They had their share of arguments, but she was never this mad at him.
"You were willing to have sex with them when they asked! I ask you, I get turned down flat!"
David shifted on his feet a little. "Kellie…"
"You know how that makes me feel! You've slept with other girls that you didn't love, but you won't sleep with me because you do! That is the most absurd excuse I've ever heard," she bit out. "You're being hypocritical."
His lips twitched as his temper lay just below the surface. "Kellie…"
"No!" she cut in furiously, "I won't let you talk your way out of this!"
"Dammit Kellie, I'm doing this because I love you. I'm marrying you, not them! I respect you a lot more then I did them. Why can't you see that!"
"Because it's not fair to me you baka! You'll sleep with them, but you won't even do it with your own fiancée!" She ignored the dangerous glitter entering his eyes.
He pushed his temper down even more. "Will you calm down!"
"Why can't you and I have sex just once!"
"I said I wanted to wait even if it kills me!"
"You're
killing me by waiting! Veronica thinks you're being prudish!"
"Your cousin doesn't know the meaning of that word! Veronica isn't even a virgin and she's proud of it!"
"At least she's getting some!"
"She's been getting some since she was sixteen years old! Her rivalry with my sister intensified then because Randy gained a body. She knew that Randy could beat her in the brains or the athletic department, and she knew she could lose in the guy department so she did the only thing that guaranteed her winning in that department!" David countered furiously.
"My cousin is not a slut!"
"You said it, I didn't."
Kellie ground her teeth together.
"I don't even know why we're arguing about Veronica in the first place! She has no relevance in this conversation!"
She glared at him.
He glared back before giving her his back. He pushed his temper back under control. "I'm just saying, just because your cousin isn't a virgin, doesn't mean that you don't have to be one too. Is being a virgin that bad for you?"
Kellie looked at his broad back. "Being a virgin is not bad for me. It's getting to be intolerable. Why are we waiting? We're getting married. It won't hurt. Besides, you're not. I know that the first time you had sex was when you were sixteen."
David turned and looked at her again. "It can't be intolerable. It's just until June Kellie. And I thought me not being a virgin didn't bother you."
"That's in six months David! And no it didn't bother me when we first started dating, but it sure as hell bothers me now!"
"That's all I'm waiting for. After that I'll make love to you any time you want me to, but until then, I won't."
Kellie balled her hands into fists. He was wearing that stubborn expression. She knew it would be almost futile to argue with him now since he was digging his heels in deep on this. She was still angry enough to kill him. "You're not being fair."
"Kellie, please?" he asked, searching her face. Her eyes refused to meet his.
"Go away," she mumbled as she turned on her heel and walked away from him. She opened her bedroom door, holding it for him.
"Kellie, aren't you being a little irrational?"
"David," she ground out warningly.
"You're wearing my shirt."
"Take the other one," she replied waspishly.
He sighed and went back over to the bed and retrieved the other shirt. He shrugged it on as he slipped his feet back into his shoes. He started to button his shirt as he walked towards her. He looked down at her. "Kellie, I'm…"
"David,
if you don't want to make me any more upset, I suggest you leave before I do
something you won't like."
"Kellie, you're being irrational. It's not that bad to wait."
She growled furiously again as she marched over to where she had two glasses on her nightstand. She threw it at him, but her aim was off since she was too angry. It shattered next to the door. "David, I suggest that if you don't want me to hit you with this, I would leave."
"Kellie…"
She let the other glass fly.
David's eyes widened as he shut the door, just as the glass made impact. It shattered next to his ear. He cringed at the sound. He let his eyes wander down to the end of the hall where Noin and Zechs slept. He saw the light flicker on. "Shit, just what I need," he muttered as he scrambled down the hall and the steps. He closed the front door fast as he all but ran to his Jeep. He banged his head on the steering wheel. "I knew it wasn't wise for me to stay, but she insisted. Stupid, stupid, stupid." He sighed as he started on his way home.
******************************************************************************
Zechs didn't say anything. He felt Noin's eyes on him. "I'm not going anywhere," he finally said.
"I know you're not, but it looks like you want to," Noin replied softly as she leaned up on one elbow to look at him.
He glanced over at her. Streaks of silver ran through her midnight hair. "It's not everyday that our daughter throws glass at someone. Especially not David. He's not like his father or his brothers. It's just every once in awhile I feel a little leery of letting our daughter actually marry one of those insane Maxwells."
"They're not insane, just a little crazy. Come on Zechs you know that David loves her. He practically worships the ground she walks on."
"I'm
just glad it was David and not the other two. I don't know how Heero did it. I
mean, granted that Chris is his godson, but still he didn't even like it that
much when Chris started dating Victoria. And Wufei is classic. He abhors the
fact that his oldest daughter is in love with Jonathon and he lets everyone
know it too."
"You know that Heero likes Chris for Victoria very much or else he wouldn't have let her marry him. And he adores his two grandchildren," she said as she snuggled closer to him, propping her head up on his shoulder. "And Wufei is being himself. He's not happy unless he's venting about something."
He chuckled at her last statement, rubbing her back as he put his arm around her. "You do know how to put things in perspective Lu."
Noin grinned at him. "Of course I do. Why do you think I married you?"
"I married you to make an honest woman of you," he replied kissing her nose. "A woman running around with one kid and no husband. That was grounds for a marriage if I ever heard one."
She snorted and gave his side a squeeze with her hand. "Ha, ha, very funny mister."
He jumped slightly and kissed her. "You know I married you because I loved you Lu. Thad was just some incentive," he said as he looked down into her deep lilac colored eyes. "But still, Kellie is still young and I'm a dad who's…"
"Very overprotective just like the other fathers are with their daughters," Noin finished softly. "Although none of you are as protective as Duo is with Randy. He goes more then just overboard like the rest of you do. He goes clear off into the deep end."
"That's certainly true," Zechs laughed quietly. "I know that David loves her and that she loves him. But you know none of the Maxwell's relationships are smooth. They're all rocky and messy. Like father like all his children. I'm just waiting for something to happen. And Kellie throwing stuff at him is exactly what I'm talking about."
"Come
on sweetheart, have a little faith. Every couple has rough patches, even
seemingly perfect couples like David and Kellie. It blows over and it'll be all
fine. Just go back to sleep so I don't have to worry about you going off to see
if there is something wrong."
He looked down at her ageless face. He smiled again and pressed a light kiss on her lips. "All right. I won't do anything. Besides tomorrow is her birthday and Christmas."
"That's my Zechs," Noin said as she rested her head back down on his shoulder, cuddling up close to him again. "Lights out." The lights faded into black, so only the moonlight and the starlight flooded the room. "I love you."
"I love you too, Lu," he answered as he secured his arm around her. He closed his eyes. "You better not have done something stupid Maxwell to upset my daughter."
******************************************************************************
Kellie dropped back down onto her bed in defeat. Her breathing was hard. "Dammit," she hissed at herself as she flopped back across the bed. She stared at the underside of the gathered material on her four-poster before closing her eyes. She felt wretched. She was still angry with him, but at the same time, she wished she hadn't lost her temper with him. "Can't always blame the guy for trying to be an angel, but he doesn't have to be with me. I don't expect it. I just wish he knew what it was like to want something so bad and not be able to get it. It's just not fair." She rolled over to her stomach. "But still damn him and his reasons. If he didn't want any why did he let it get so far in the first place," she huffed as she stared out the windows into the night.
******************************************************************************
David entered the house through the kitchen door. He shut it quietly behind him as he walked across the linoleum floor. He paused however, when he noticed a light shining from under the basement door. He sighed and slipped through, shutting it behind him as well. He went down the steps and found Jonathon slamming his fists into the punching bag, and Chris sitting on the couch with a tequila bottle. "Having a party," he remarked drolly.
Chris turned to look at his younger brother. "You could
say that."
"How long has he been at it?" David asked as he sat down beside his brother and took the bottle from his hand, swallowing a mouthful of it. He cringed slightly as it went down.
Chris looked at his watch. "Oh I would say since eleven."
"That's two hours."
"You're telling me. He won't let up. Even before I got here, he already polished off one bottle of tequila by himself."
David arched a brow. "Really?" He looked back at Jonathon.
He could see the sweat on his forehead. He looked back at Chris. "And why are
you down here? Don't you have a wife to sleep with."
Chris snorted. "I wish. The damn woman kicked me out because of the punching match the three of us had. Damn those stupid mood swings women get after giving birth," he muttered as he took the bottle back and took another mouthful of it. "So she gets to sleep in the nice warm bed upstairs with the kids and she told me to sleep on the couch. She's becoming like mom."
David rolled his eyes.
"And as I can see, you had a nice time after the rest of us left," Chris drawled as he gave David a once over, noting the wrinkled clothes and the messy hair. "So did you get any?"
David shot him a nasty look. "You know me better then that Chris."
"Yeah, yeah, the saintliest one of the three," Chris said in a mocking tone.
"Go to hell," David snapped, snatching the bottle away again.
Chris arched a brow. "You seem a little tight."
David said nothing.
"Let me see if I can figure this out. You're clothes are
hopelessly wrinkled, testimony to the fact that you were doing something, but
at the same time, you look pissed because you didn't do anything at all."
"Screw you."
"Now I know you're pissed. What happened?"
"Leave it."
"I'll bug the hell out of you or else beat it out of you.
Take your pick. I'm not in the best frame of mind either since Victoria kicked
me out of the bed tonight."
"I turned her down."
Chris looked at him incredulously for a moment before bursting into laughter.
"It's not funny Chris," David gritted out.
"You turned her down again! How many times does this make it bro? Jeez, you do have strong morals don't you!" Chris snickered.
"Well unlike you and Jonathon, I actually use my brain when it comes to girls, not my libido," David snapped testily. "Not every guy has to think about sex."
Chris snorted again. "Aren't you the good little boy? But then again, you did give up sex since you knew that she would be the one."
"Is that so bad?"
"It is and it isn't. Well if you hadn't had sex before, I would say no. But since you have, I would say yes because you know exactly what you're missing."
"Sex is not the end all you know. I would think you would know that since you're married."
"But it is important. Don't get me wrong, I love that hellion I'm married to upstairs, but sex does play an important role in whatever relationship you're in."
It was David's turn to snort.
"So, she asked for it tonight. You didn't give it to her and now you're all mad."
"I'm mad because she's mad that I won't sleep with her before marriage. Kellie threw two glasses at me."
"She resorted to throwing things? Never thought I would see the day Kel would throw something at you. But can you blame the girl? You've turned her down more times then I can count."
"Oh what the hell would you know!"
Chris smirked at his brother's irritated expression. "And it's getting hard to resist isn't it? She's throwing herself at you and you won't take the bait even though even though you really want to. I don't know how you do it."
"It's called self control," David said as he leaned back on the couch and stared at the ceiling,
"So that's what it's called," Chris said, tilting his head
to one side. "I thought you were just being prudish."
"I'm far from prudish. In fact, Kellie said that Veronica said the same thing about me."
"Veronica said that? She knows the meaning of the word prude? I'm shocked. That sister in law of mine actually knows a word that doesn't pertain to actually having sex. I hate to say it, but she's as far from prude as Quatrina Winner is to being promiscuous."
"Kellie thought I implied that Ver was a slut."
"Well she is. I hate to say it about my own sister in law, but she is. She started fooling around way too early and she is not in the least bit discriminating."
"I said that it was because of her rivalry with Randy."
"It is. Even though they're best friends, Ver has always felt like she had to outdo our sister. That Maxwell/Yuy rivalry runs high between them like it did between Dominic and Jonathon."
"And you and Victoria," David added. "But I told her that Veronica has no relevance in the conversation. It's because Kellie's been asking advice from her. I know that she is. And I told her that she didn't have to be like her cousin and it was fine that she was a virgin. And you know what she said then?"
"What?"
"She said it was intolerable being a virgin and it bothers her that I'm not."
Chris shook his head. "You poor bastard."
David made a face at him. He heard the chain stop rattling. He looked over at Jonathon. "Finished?"
"No," was Jonathon's short reply as he started punching again.
Chris rolled his eyes.
David sighed and closed his eyes. He felt a little guilty. He knew that he shouldn't have let things get as far as they did tonight. It was his fault that she was ticked, but there had to be some stopping point. He didn't do it intentionally. He just wanted to wait. He didn't see any harm in it. He sighed again. Her birthday and Christmas were tomorrow. It was going to be a hell of a day.
A/N: Did you like? I know it's a little long, but I wanted to get this all in one take. There will be more coming soon! XOXO!
