Saving Easton by Kaci Rose
Chapter 19
Paisley
Wrangling two dogs, who love to visit Oakside, isn't easy, but it's worth it for Easton. I stop in to see Lexi, who groans when we get to the door.
"How are you not more hungover?"
"Well, I knew I had a busy day today, so I stopped drinking at least four drinks, before you last night.”
"New girl’s night rule. Everyone has to drink as much as me." She says, as Noah walks in.
He goes over and rubs her shoulder.
"Fuck, that feels almost better than sex," she says, looking up at Noah, and they exchange a heated look.
"And that's my cue to leave. Make sure you lock the door." I say, taking Molly and Allie upstairs.
We get to Easton's room and find him on the couch, as both dogs run over to him and jump one on each side, begging for attention. A small smile crosses his face, as he pets them, looking up at me.
"I think I'm kind of jealous you have two ladies stealing all your attention." I joke.
"Come here." He holds out his hand.
I take it, and he pulls me down onto his lap, wrapping his arms around me.
"Much better." He whispers in my hair, as he gives the top of my head a kiss.
"I was going to suggest going out to the garden again, but it's supposed to rain soon, so maybe, we take a lazy day inside?" I suggest.
"That sounds perfect, but I need to talk to you about something first."
His tone is serious, and though I try to sit up to look into his face, he holds me tighter.
"Everything okay?" I ask.
"Noah came in, and he heard back from the cop, handling the case with the kitchen boy."
"Okay?"
"Well, they ran the guy’s fingerprints, and he had used a fake name. He's wanted for rape and murder in Atlanta."
I let that sink in. This could have been a lot worse than what it was. Molly knew, though. She knew something was wrong, and she tried to tell us.
"Come here, Molly," I say, and she half climbs into my lap, as I start rubbing her neck and back. "You’re such a good girl. You knew something was up with him and tried to tell us. I’m so proud of you, and I’ll never doubt you again."
Easton reaches over and pets her, too.
"I know it's a pain to bring two dogs, but I don't want you alone again. Promise me, you’ll always have Molly with you," he says.
"I promise, though even before this, I can count on one hand the amount of time I've been without her. She may not be my service dog, but she’s a service dog that gets special treatment to be anywhere I am."
"Good. Now, what movie do you want to watch?"
We flip through what’s on TV and end on How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. We watched this together not too long before he left, and I know he won't admit it, but I'm pretty sure he loves the movie, as much as I do.
He lets me sit beside him and wraps an arm around me, cuddling me to his side. Taking a blanket off the back of the couch, he pulls it over us.
"You remembered," I say in awe.
No matter how hot it is, I love watching movies cuddled under a blanket. Easton and my brother used to poke fun at me for it.
"Of course, I did. Even the smallest memories of you are ingrained in my head. They pulled me through my darkest moments, and they still do."
A memory flashes through my mind of what Brook said last night.
‘Be careful that he isn't using you as a crutch to get better.’
I like to think I’m helping him, and that I'm not a crutch. I know I'm not.
As we watch TV, Easton lightly runs his hand up and down my arm. It's so soothing I end up drifting off without meaning, too. When I wake up both Easton and Molly are gone, but Allie is lying with her head on my legs.
I stand up to get my bearings. When Easton walks back in with Molly, I'm fixing my hair, as he gives me a shy smile.
"She had to go out, and I didn't want to wake you."
"She let you take her out?" I ask in shock.
Molly doesn't like anyone taking her to do her business but me. Both my mom and dad have tried, but she refuses.
"Yeah, I don't think she wanted to wake you up either."
My smile is big, when I say, "Easton, I told you that you can do this."
He looks at Allie and hesitates only for a minute.
"Allie girl, you need to go potty?"
She jumps up and heads to his side. Then, he takes a deep breath, and together they go out. I swear Molly has the biggest smile on her face.
"You knew exactly what you were doing, didn’t you, Molly girl?" I give her back a good scratch.
I fight the desire to go check on Easton and make sure he's okay. He has to do this, and there are plenty of people to help if he can't. I really want him to see that he’s able to do this and that taking Allie full-time is the right thing for him.
When he returns, I watch his entire body relax, as he steps through the door, and then a smile spreads on his face. He pets Allie and gives her a treat, before coming to sit beside me.
"I think I'm ready to take on Allie full-time."
"Oh, Easton, this is a good thing. I think she’s going to help you a lot."
"You helped me a lot already, and if she was trained by you, I have no doubt she’s going to be perfect." He leans in to give me a quick kiss.
I wrap my arms around his neck and pull him in, turning the quick kiss into a deeper one. His large hand cradles the back of my head, as he runs his tongue across my bottom lip. The moment our tongues touch it's magic.
He wraps his other arm around my waist, and like I weigh nothing, he lifts me on to him, so I'm straddling his lap, and there’s no mistaking the large bulge between my thighs. He pulls me even closer to him and then runs his hands up my legs to my hips.
I want to be even closer, and as I wiggle my hips, he groans but doesn't stop me. His hands grip my hips, and thinking he's going to stop me, I pull back, trying to catch my breath.
"I'm sorry this got out of hand." I start to climb off of him, but he holds me in place.
"I want this, Paisley." He looks me in the eye like he’s searching for something.
"It's not too much too fast?" I ask in a whisper.
"Not for me. If it is for you, we can stop. No pressure."
"I want this, too," I admit, and this makes him smile.
He pulls me down on his cock and watches me, as he slides me on the thick ridge. I brace my hands on his shoulders and start grinding on him, but he uses my hips to keep the movements slow and steady.
He kisses my neck, nipping under my ear and at my collar bone like he's exploring and wants to know how every movement makes me react. The pressure builds, and my arms start to shake right before they give out, and I fall onto his chest.
I bury my face in his neck, only able to concentrate on the sensations overtaking me. I can hear how fast his heart is racing, and how fast he’s breathing. It matches mine.
"Cum for me, Paisley," he groans, and keeps one hand on my waist, and then brings the other up to pull me to his mouth for a heat searing kiss. A kiss that makes my pussy flutter, and I can feel my orgasm start to build.
I grip his shoulders, and just as the organism starts to peak, I dig my nails into his shoulders, crying out as I ride the intense pleasure. Pulling back from the kiss, he watches me cum so hard nothing comes out, when I scream his name.
Then, his whole body goes rigid, as he falls forward, resting his forehead on my shoulder, groaning.
I collapse onto his chest, and he wraps his strong, muscular arms around me. When a tremor runs through his body, I tilt my head up to look at him.
"You okay?" I ask.
"I'm perfect, Paisley." He rests his head on mine.
When I try to get up, his grip tightens.
"I just want to hold you for a little longer." He whispers.
"For as long as you need."
