I take a sip of my coffee and smile. "I got an email from an author who wants to do a custom shoot with you and Brinley for her next book. What do you think?" I ask.
I"ve had a lot of authors buy my photos recently, but this is the first wanting a custom shoot. Well, if you don"t count the fake shoot I did with Jax for my birthday.
"I think that"s f.u.c.king amazing, and I"m incredibly proud of you. When is it?" he asks, with a smile pulling at his lips. This man never ceases to amaze me.
"I need to figure out everyone"s schedule first, but I"m hoping to do it as soon as possible. The author lives close by and wants to be there for it. I figured we would go to that park we found because she wants it outdoors," I explain.
I know this shoot will be amazing. Jax and Brinley will make the most stunning cover together. I"m excited for everyone involved.
"I actually don"t have anything for the next two weeks. Then I have a big shoot with Romance and a few others after, so the sooner, the better for me," he says.
They drop off our food and we dig in. We continue talking about the shoot, and the more we talk, the more excited I get. It seems too good to be true. My career is taking off and I"m in love. If someone had told me a year ago this would happen, I would have thought they were crazy, but here I am eating breakfast with my model boyfriend. Unf.u.c.kingreal.
After breakfast, we decide to take a run on the beach by his place. He wants to hit the gym, but I want to be outside and enjoy the warm weather. Thankfully, I left some clothes at his place, so I change out of my dress and put on shorts and a tank top. I pull my hair up into a ponytail and I"m ready. I sit on the couch waiting for Jax to finish getting ready, and Blake comes in the front door, smiling at me.
"There"s the most beautiful photographer I know," he says and sits down next to me wrapping his arm around me.
I just laugh because he"s always like this with me. The more I"m here, the closer we get, and I like that since he"s like a brother to Jax.
"Are you just getting home from last night?" I question, lifting my eyebrows.
He squeezes my shoulder and winks at me. "h.e.l.l yes, I am. Let me tell you, sometimes when you"re banging two chicks, there just isn"t enough time in the day. You know what I mean?" he asks completely serious.
"Blake, get the f.u.c.k off my girlfriend with your dirty a.s.s hand. Who the h.e.l.l knows where it"s been?" Jax hisses.
I cringe away from him, and he just laughs.
"Oh, brother, you want to know where this hand has been?" he asks, holding up his hands.
I jump up and cover my ears. "I sure as f.u.c.k don"t," I yell. Both he and Jax laugh at me, and I shudder thinking about that nasty hand that just touched me. "I need to wash my shoulder real quick." I run into the bathroom and scrub it with a soapy washcloth before returning to the living room.
They are laughing when I get there, and Jax wraps me in his arms and kisses my head.
"He washed his hands, baby, don"t worry," he a.s.sures me. The only thing I keep thinking is...ewww. "You ready to go?"
I pull away and start for the door. "I"m definitely ready," I say.
"Kallie, I would never touch you without washing my hands first. I wouldn"t want some other girl"s juices on you," Blake says.
I close my eyes, shaking my head "You really are nasty as h.e.l.l." I go to push the door open when I hear Blake say ouch. I turn and he"s rubbing his arm.
"Don"t be such a f.u.c.king pig," Jax bites out.
I laugh and walk outside. Jax meets me in the driveway, and we begin our run.
"Sorry about Blake. He doesn"t really mean anything by it, he"s just a pig," Jax says.
I laugh and look over at him. "He really is a pig, but I"ve gotten used to him after all this time. Maybe not the threesomes and touching me after, but I know he"s just kidding," I say.
We keep up a steady pace when we hit the sand. It feels good having the burn in my legs. There are quite a few people out today enjoying the weather like we are. I giggle to myself when I see all the selfie pictures going on. Not that I don"t do it, but it"s funny to see it happen every few steps.
I"m proud of myself for keeping up with Jax. We"re running back now, and even though I"m getting out of breath, it feels great.
"You still good?" He"s asked me ten times already.
"Yes," I say, trying to catch my breath. He looks at me and I laugh. "Okay, I"m a little out of breath, but keep going."
We make it more than halfway back before I get a cramp in my side. I refuse to stop though; I just tell myself to run through the pain. I can see the end of the beach where we get off, and I"m so grateful. I take two more steps, and the cramp gets so tight I have no choice but to stop and bend over. I"m breathing so heavily, with each deep breath, it hurts more.
"Oh s.h.i.t, Kallie, what"s wrong?" Jax says.
I lift my head, still bent over, and stare at him. "Cramp. I tried to run through it, but I can"t. I need a second." He rubs my back and tells me to take deep breaths. The longer I do it, the better I start to feel. After a few minutes, I stand up straight. "Okay. d.a.m.n, that hurt. I"m good now, though," I say.
He kisses my lips and his eyes bounce back and forth. "Are you sure? There"s no rush. I don"t want you to hurt yourself," he asks, truly concerned.
I laugh and push up on my toes to kiss him. "I"m positive. It was just a cramp. It"s completely gone now," I say.
He smirks and comes toward me. I slowly back up because I don"t like that smirk; he"s going to do something.
"Where are you going? I"m just moving closer to you," he questions.
I giggle and walk back further. "Bulls.h.i.t."
He laughs and runs at me. I turn to run, but he"s too fast. He grabs me and tosses me over his shoulder. I squeal, and he laughs and smacks my a.s.s.
"I should carry you so you don"t get another cramp," he says. I"m laughing so hard I can"t even reply. He walks toward the water, and I try to get out of his hold. "Maybe you just need to cool off."
I kick my feet and try to push off his shoulder, but laugh hysterically the entire time.
"The water is too cold*don"t you dare," I threaten.
We get right to where the waves are running up to the sand and he stops.
"You sure?" he asks, laughing just as hard as I am. We must look like complete idiots.
He lets me slide down his now sweaty body, but he holds onto my a.s.s when my face meets his. "You make me so d.a.m.n happy," he says.
I press my lips to his, and we share one h.e.l.l of a kiss.
"You make me just as happy," I reply.
We hug and hold onto each other for several minutes before he finally lets my feet touch the sand. He takes my hand, and we walk away from the water.
"We"ll walk home," he says.
I kiss his brightly colored arm, and we walk home hand in hand.
Jax wanted to have a couple people over so he could barbeque. We went to the store, got way too much food, and now I"m sitting at the table watching him clean the pool. I look at the hot tub and get up to go feel the water. I stick my hand in and moan. He snaps his head up and I laugh.
"The water feels amazing. We need to get in here tonight," I suggest.
He puts down the skimmer and comes over to me. He pulls me close, kissing my lips.
"I"ll make sure you really moan in that hot tub," he says. You"d think we didn"t just have s.e.x this morning with the way my body reacts to his words.
"I look forward to seeing if that"s true," I say with a grin.
A smile spreads across his face. "Baby, you"ll be screaming my name. That is a guarantee," he promises.
I pull his shirt and he comes closer. I nip his bottom lip, and he captures my mouth in a delicious kiss. I hike my leg up and he squeezes my a.s.s.
"Is this a show I need to pay to watch, or can I just sit here?" Blake says. I pull away quickly and drop my leg. "Oh, don"t stop just because I"m here. I was looking forward to this."
Jax rolls his eyes at me and kisses my cheek before punching Blake, hard. "Ouch. f.u.c.k, will you stop hitting me today?" he complains, rubbing his arm.
I giggle and go back to my seat at the table.
"Stop being such an a.s.shole, and I"ll stop hitting you. Did you get the beer?" Jax says. They both light a cigarette, and Jax raises his eyebrows.
"Yes, s.h.i.t, I got the beer," Blake says, taking a long drag.
The sliding door opens and Brody walks out. It makes my heart so happy and sad at the same time. I miss Braden horribly, and seeing Jax and Brody together just reminds me what I"m missing, but I"m so thankful they have each other. Brody comes over to me, and I stand up to give him a hug.
"Hey, sis," he whispers in my ear. I pull back and look at him with a tear in my eye. These Burke boys are good for that. He smiles and kisses my cheek. "You and Jax are meant to be. You"re my sister now."
I launch onto him and squeeze him hard. "Thank you," I whisper.
"Brody, get your own woman," Jax yells.
Brody looks down at me, shaking his head. I wish I could fix him up with someone; he deserves to be happy again.
The party is in full swing, and I"m having a blast. Brinley came with Nora and Jackie. I"m so excited to see them. I hardly spent any time with them the last few months. "I still can"t believe that you"re dating Jax Burke," Jackie comments.
I roll my eyes since it"s her fifth time saying it. "Jack, will you stop. He"s a guy, just like any other guy," I say, sipping my drink. All three of them laugh, and I can"t help but join. "Okay, so he"s f.u.c.king hot as h.e.l.l."
We all laugh and throw back another shot.
"Kall, please tell me he"s as good in bed in real life as he is in my fantasies?" Nora begs.
I throw a chip at her and laugh. "Stop fantasizing about my boyfriend, Nora," I yell.
She lifts her shoulders and eats the chip. Just then, I feel his strong arms wrap around me. I swear Nora and Jackie both let out a sigh.
"Hey, ladies," Jax says.
Brinley is the only composed one; it"s embarra.s.sing, really.
"Hey. What"s up?" I ask, turning my head smiling at him.
He kisses me quickly. "Nothing. I saw you laughing, and well, you know how I love that," he says holding my gaze.
I place my hands over him and smile at him. "I know you do."
We"re just staring at each other when Brinley finally breaks in.
"You two are sickening," she gags. We both laugh and I flip her off. "Let"s move this party to the fire pit, ladies." She gets up, but Nora and Jackie keep looking at us. Again, embarra.s.sing. "Hey, I meant you two." They snap their heads to her and giggle before getting up and following her.
"I didn"t mean to run your friends off," he says as he sits next to me and I giggle.
"Believe me, Nora and Jackie would have stayed all night. You want to go to the fire pit too?" I ask.
He looks at it and then back to me. Smirking he gets up. "I believe we had a date in the hot tub," he says, pulling his shirt off and stepping out of his jeans, leaving him in just his boxers. Thank G.o.d, Nora and Jackie walked away. He grabs my hand and leads me to the tub.
"I don"t have a bathing suit on," I say.
He pulls my shirt over my head and winks.
"You don"t need one." Oh f.u.c.k, my night just got a h.e.l.l of a lot better.
Chapter Sixteen.
Jax I climb into the hot tub, looking at Kallie in just her s.e.xy black bra and panties. I hold out my hand to her and help her in. She sits down, and I pull her to sit between my legs.
"Mmmm, this feels good," she moans out.
My c.o.c.k springs to life, and I rub her thighs. "Just wait, baby, if you think this feels good," I say nipping her ear a few times before moving her hair out of the way and kissing her neck.
She lightly moans and it just spurs me on. I slide us down so we"re covered in the water up to our necks. I move my hands up to her t.i.ts and caress them over her bra, which is pointless now; it"s as if it"s not even there. I feel her nipples get hard with my touch, and if we didn"t have people over, I"d have her riding my c.o.c.k already. She rests her head back on my shoulder and moans a bit louder this time.
"Quiet, baby. As much as I love hearing you moan, I don"t want anyone else hearing it. That"s for my ears only," I say, slipping my hands into her bra and pinch her nipples.
She arches her back, causing a bit of water to splash around us. As much as I want this to last all night, I can"t with all these people still here. I need to make my girl come before anyone is the wiser. I move my hands down to her panties and rub her over them.
"f.u.c.k, how do you expect me to be quiet?" she breathes out.
I chuckle and surprise her when I dip my hand in her panties and slam two fingers into her. She again lets out a moan, so I turn her head with my other hand to focus on me.
"There"s only one way to keep you quiet," I say and start kissing her. The minute my tongue touches hers, I start moving my fingers. The faster I move my fingers, the harder I kiss her.
"Hey, mind if we join?"
