Page 68 of Missing Pieces

Chapter Twenty-Eight

I wake up with a smile on my face. Easton and I barely made it back to my place before we had our clothes off again. I almost thought he was going to pull over and use the bed of the truck again, but due to it being broad daylight, we both thought it best to wait. Once we were inside we were like two teenagers going at it. We fucked against the door, on the couch, the kitchen table, and the shower before finally making it to the bedroom.

East stirs behind me as his big arm falls over me and I am pulled flush against him, his very hard dick pressing into my back. “Morning,” he mutters before latching on to my neck with his lips. I squirm against him and manage to flip myself over to face him. He smiles at me and my heart nearly stops beating. He is the most beautiful man I have ever met, and I still find it hard to believe that he is with me, in this bed, giving me a look that says a whole lot more than ‘I like fucking you.’ I bring my fingers to his lips before tracing them down his chest. I hook my leg over his hip and he gently slides into me. We find a sweet and slow rhythm, the opposite of what the day before held. I kiss him gently, trying to hold on to this moment before we lose it. But we never do. We go slow the whole time. Two souls finding each other, memorizing each other, loving each other.

I can tell he’s getting close and just when I think he’ll come without me he presses his thumb onto my clit and my insides burst. I don’t think it’s the orgasm that brings me to my knees, it’s his admission as he holds me after. “I love you, Harp. God, I am so in love with you. I kept trying to deny it but this week away made me realize I have never missed anyone so much in my life. I wanted you with me when I was with Raelynn. I’ve never brought anyone to see her. But you…I need you with me. You are what I’ve been missing. And this, between you and me,” he says while gesturing between the two of us, “this is the most real thing I have ever had. I…I just…I love you. I need you to know that. Even if you don’t fe—“

I cut him off because I had to. “I’m so fucking in love with you.” I can’t even say more because his lips are on mine, his arms wrapping tighter around my back. This kiss is different, yet the same. It feels like the kiss he gave me yesterday at his shop. Or the ones he gives me when he brings me breakfast in bed. It makes me wonder if this has been love for that long and both of us were too stupid to realize it.

Our kiss starts to turn heavy as I push him onto his back and straddle his hips. I can feel him getting hard again. I start to move down his body when my phone starts ringing. He tries to reach for it off the nightstand, but I push his arm away as my lips start to make their way to his cock. The ringing ends and I smile as I lick up his shaft before sucking hard and taking him deep. He groans ferociously as I do it again, but then my phone goes off again. We both ignore it as I speed up my rhythm. I wrap my hand around the base of his dick as I pump him with my hand and mouth. My other hand reaches for his balls and I start massaging them, he starts swearing and saying my name, and my phone starts ringing again.

“For fuck’s sake,” I mutter around his dick. He pulls me off him. “Maybe you should see who that is. Could be an emergency.”

I mutter to myself as I lean over the bed to grab the phone. He smacks my ass hard and I yelp making me even wetter. I am about ready to throw my phone against the wall and get back to the treat in my bed when I glance down and see it’s my mother calling. I take a deep breath to try and sound calm, “Hello?”

“Harper! What took you so long to answer the phone? I thought maybe something was wrong with you!” My mother practically screams into my ear.

I pull the phone away from my ear. “Ugh sorry, Mom I was asleep.”

“Asleep? It’s after ten, why are you asleep?” Before I can even answer, she adds, “And if you were asleep why do you sound winded?”

My cheeks flood in embarrassment as I glance at Easton who is covering his mouth to keep his laughter quiet. “Ughh, bad dream,” I answer nonchalantly. “It’s my day off so I decided to sleep in. Why are you even calling?”

“I know it’s your day off because that dear sweet woman at the diner said you were off today.”

“What are you talking about?”

“And she was kind enough to give us directions to the house you’re staying at, so we are on our way over. She said we should give you a heads up to make sure you finished up the hard project you would be working on.”

I cover my face with my hands. That little bitch. I glance at Easton who has his face buried in a pillow, his entire body shaking. “Yeah, thanks, Mom. Uhh, I am so glad you came to surprise me. I’ll see you soon.”

I hung up the phone before she could ask any more questions. Easton pulls the pillow from his face. “Too bad you can’t finish this hard project.”

I smack him with another pillow and he pulls me on top of him giving me an obnoxious smack on the lips. Then it hits me all at once. “Fuck my parents are ten minutes away. They’re going to have to meet you.”

Easton sits up quickly. “Or I can sneak out the window and walk back to my place.” He goes to make a move for the window and I grab him by the arm. “No way, mister. You are not getting out of this. Plus, you have no clothes on.”

He looks at me and smiles. “So are your parents going to know why you were panting then when you answered the phone?”

I go to push him away but then spring up out of the bed scrambling for clothes. “This entire house smells like sex. And our clothes are everywhere. We need to do something quick.”

I thought he would laugh and joke around, but he mutters a string of curse words and flies out of the bedroom faster than me. We rush around the house picking up clothes, opening windows and doors and lighting candles to try and make the house look as normal as possible. I fluff the pillows on the couch and East is picking up a lamp casualty when we hear gravel crunching on the driveway. We both look at each other and realize we’ve been cleaning the house stark naked. We burst out into laughter and I nearly fall over clutching my stomach. We manage to pull our clothes on just as we hear the car doors shut. He reaches over to me and cups my cheek while brushing his fingers through my hair. “I love you.”

I nearly melt at those words but before I can respond there’s a knock at the door. I give him a quick peck on the lips and then grab his hand and drag him behind me as I go to open the door.

“Mom, Dad!” My dad pulls me into a hug and I glance over to my mom who is staring behind me. I try to recall any memory of me telling my mom about Easton and I’m coming up blank. Luckily, I am saved by Poe who comes running through the house to jump on my dad.

“Hey Poe,” my dad says as he scratches Poe’s head. “How’ve you been, boy?”

He looks up and addresses Easton. “You must be the mighty dog savior! Drew should have never taken Poe away from Harps, here. Thank you for bringing her back her best friend, uhh…”

“Easton,” he responds firmly while shaking my dad’s hand.

“Right Easton, Harp’s told me about you, but I am so sorry I forgot your name.” My dad gives me the side eye which means I owe him an explanation.

“No problem Mr. Evans. I know Harper has had her plate full and all with working and trying to fix that car of hers.” I cringe on the inside. That statement felt like a low blow. I know I should have told my parents about Easton but my mom is, well my mom, and I didn’t think my dad would approve of me dating someone so soon. He wanted me to get back to being me. He just doesn’t know it took Easton for me to find myself again.

“Please call me Frank.”
