Brett and Hannah (Soul Mates 101 Series) (11 page)

“I don’t want to. You have no idea how much I hate t
o think of you alone in this enormous house. I really hate it. I feel that same need to protect you even though you don’t appear to need it.”

“That’s not why I don’t want you
to leave.” She leaned over and started kissing his neck.

Shit, I have to get out of here.
She’s too damn sweet. I’m going to end up screwing her in that bed and hurting her like before.

“So what are you driving me home in?”

Hannah sat back up and frowned.

“You really play hard to get. I just want a kiss.”

“We both know where that leads, and your bed is not far from this spot.”

“Why is that a bad thing?”

“I think we need to move slow, Hannah. You seemed upset today, and I don’t want to rush things and end up hurting you. Take me home, and I promise I’ll kiss you tomorrow in a different room.” He chuckled and kissed her forehead.

“
Fine. Follow me,” she said with an exaggerated sigh.

Brett followed Hannah downstairs before she
led him through a maze to the garage.

“There’s a garage I’
ll show you when we have more time. It holds my parents’ other babies. This is the one with my cars.” Hannah opened the door.

“You have more than one?”

“Yes, I have a BMW Z4, and I have a Land Rover for when I need the room to drive my girlfriend’s around with me.”

Brett stood in awe of both vehicles. The BMW was calling him.

“Here, catch.” Hannah tossed him the keys.

“You can drive the BMW.”

“Seriously?” Brett had a big grin on his face.

He was still smiling when he put the car in park in front of his house.

“That was awesome. Thanks for letting m
e drive. The guys will be jealous.”

About that time
, Dylan came flying out the door with Cody right behind him.

“Hannah, is this your car?” Cody asked.

“Yes, it’s mine.”

“Can I please
just look it over?” Dylan asked excitedly.

“
Sure.”

The guys checked out the car while Brett hugged on Hannah.

“I want you to sleep at my house. It’s only fair, you know, since I stayed here,” she said.

“I’
m on to your trickery, baby, and now I have to kiss you since you’re talking about me sleeping in your bed.”

Brett
felt bad for rejecting her earlier, so he gave her a short but passionate kiss.

“I’l
l see you tomorrow,” she said.

He found her pouty face
cute.

Dylan handed her back her keys.

“You need to let me drive this one day, chick.”

“Sure thing,
Dylan. I’ll see you all later.”

“Hey, I gave you my number, so you better text me when you get home
. I need to know you’re safe. I’ll come looking for you if you don’t,” Brett said.

“Then maybe I need to forg
et to text you.”

Brett shook his head and smiled.

“Relentless.”

Hannah smiled back
and shrugged before she got into her car.

“Damn, Brett
. I never thought about the car she might drive,” Dylan said as they walked back into the house.

“She has a Land Rover, too, and there was another garage she didn’t show me. She said it
has her parents’
babies
in it.”

“Oh, Dude, you have to find out what kind of rides are in there,” Cody said.

Dylan nudged Brett in the side with his elbow.

“So, did you do her after we all left?”

“No, I didn’t
do
her, and I don’t plan on sharing with you if I do.”

“If? She was in your bed ready and willing and you didn’t jump on the opportunity, and then you were alone with her in that fat house and didn’t. You’re going soft. I’m worried about you, man,”
Dylan said.

“You’re an asshole, Dylan.”

“Hey, she’s not made of glass. If anything, she’s a well-oiled machine compared to those old ladies you messed with.”

Brett grabbed D
ylan and pulled him into a headlock. Their wrestling went on for fifteen minutes in their family room until Cody and Matt finally pulled them apart.

Hannah’s hair, which had turned almost completely blonde from the sun, was flowing down her back. She had on a tight, purple tank top and very short denim shorts.

She beamed at Brett as she walked up to him
.

“Shit, Hannah, you look
hot.”

“Thank you. I don’t think I could ever get tired of hearing that.”

“You shouldn’t touch me. I’ll get your clothes dirty, and you look too damn good right now.”

Hannah leaned up and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

“I had acting class this morning, and I know I have to let you work, so I stayed away as long as I could. Did you happen to bring swim trunks?”

“No, I didn’t think about bringing them.”

“What size do you wear?”

“A larg
e, but why?” he asked, smiling.

“I’
m going shopping with Chelsea. I’m going to buy you a pair to leave here, so you can swim when you want, or when I want you to.” She flashed him a massive grin.

Hannah watched as his
smile disappeared, and she could tell he was in deep thought.

“Geez,
Brett, you make it really hard for me to know what you want. I don’t have to get them, but it’s not like I was trying to buy you a toothbrush to keep here.

“
I’ll just talk to you when I get back.” She walked away aggravated.

“Hannah, wait.”

She turned around and put her hands on her hips.

“I thought you would need to know I only like Colg
ate toothpaste.” He let a small smile curve from his mouth.

Her grin spread across her face again.
Hannah was giddy with the idea of Brett staying over. She never planned on buying him a toothbrush but was thrilled when he gave her the green light.

She p
icked up Chelsea to go shopping and filled her in on what happened with Brett. Hannah felt her stomach knotting when she fantasized about him being in her bed.

“
He has to be a pro when it comes to pleasing a woman. You’re finally going to experience an orgasm. I know it, and I’ll be waiting to hear all the spicy details.”

“Chelsea!”

“
Oh come on, I tell you mine.”

“
I know, even when I don’t want to hear them,” Hannah said.

She
got a call in the car. “Hi, Mom. You’re on speaker. Chelsea and I are going shopping. How’s the tour going?”

“It’s going great, but I’
m calling with great news for you. You know that director I gave some of your audition tapes to in LA? He called me wanting to know how to reach you.

“
He has a supporting role in a movie that he wants you to audition for. He said all he could tell me is that it’ll have big stars in it, and it could be your big break.”

“Wow, M
om, that’s great,” Hannah said hesitantly.

“I thought
you would be more excited, sweetheart. He said the audition would be in about a month, and if you get the part, you’ll have to move out to LA.”

“I’d have to move to LA?”
Hannah asked, sounding surprised.

“Yes,
but your dad and I talked about it, and as long as you finish your college there, then we are fine with you moving. Make sure you watch for his call.”

“Thanks, Mom. I have to go, but I’
ll talk to you later. Tell Dad hi for me.” Hannah disconnected their call.

“
Oh my gosh, Chels, I didn’t expect anything like this to happen until I finished college.”

“What are you going to
do? I know you have to do what’s best for you, but I’ll be so sad if you move away. Oh, and Brett, you’re just starting to have something with him.”

“Don’t tell him
or Austin. I mean it. I don’t want him to know about this. I have no desire to move away, but I don’t know how to tell Mom. She’s really excited.”

When Hannah got back to the house
, she peaked out the window to make sure Brett was still there. She got butterflies when she saw him. She had a good feeling he would stay the night with her and could already imagine him touching her.

Brett
drove his truck around to the front of the house.

Hannah
heard the doorbell and went running.

“Hi, come in.”

“I can’t. I have to go home first and get a shower.”

She smirked.
“Now, don’t go thinking I’m asking you to move in or anything, but you can take a shower here.”

Brett was standing on her porch with his hands on his hips, sweating.

“Funny, Hannah. I don’t know if that’s a good idea.”

“Brett, a
re we really back to this? You’re getting cold feet, and you’re about to push me away again. I feel it. We need to talk.”

Hannah became very serious as she walked out of the house and sat on the porch.
He sat down on the step next to her and wiped his face with his shirt.

“If you never took
women back to your house before me, then I know you showered and slept over at their place. I can’t take any more of this back and forth shit. I thought things were going to be different after staying over at your house.

“
I mean, you told me to buy toothpaste earlier, and now you don’t want to take a freakin’ shower here. I’m starting to think you still don’t want me because of who I am.”

Hannah felt her eyes filling with tears. She didn’t want him to see her cry if it was going to be over. She didn’t want to give that t
o him.

“I
want more with you, Hannah, but I’ve never had a girlfriend before. I’m worried we’ll mess around, and then it won’t work out, and you’ll get hurt. Every woman I’ve been with understood from the beginning that it was just going to be physical.

“
You’re the first woman I want more with, but I don’t know if I can handle being a part of this lifestyle. I’m looking for that certainty first, and I want to know we could have a real relationship before I take more from you. It doesn’t mean I don’t care about you.” Brett took hold of her hand.

“But don’t you see? You already said you wanted all of me, so you’re changi
ng your mind. Once again, you’re not sure.” Hannah knew she needed to tell him goodbye for good. Some tiny piece of her heart had to be salvaged.

“
Brett, I’ve never been in a relationship before, either, but what I can tell you with certainty is that I dove in head first for you. I’m not asking you to say you want to be with me forever, but you have to want to at least jump in, and your feet aren’t even wet.

“
I believe if you really like someone, you take a chance, and do everything in your power to make it work. Our celebrity lifestyle and wealth is obviously too much for you to deal with it, and I get it, but this is the last time you’re hurting me.

“
If you care even a little bit for me, then you should want to stop putting me through this. Stop being jealous, and let me go since you don’t want to give us a fair shot. Goodbye, Brett.”

Hannah pulled her hand away from him and went into
the house. She ran to her room and slammed the door with all the force from her anger and sadness. She was shocked at what changed between them in only a few hours.

The second she walked away from him, he felt empty. He buried his face in his dirt and sweat covered hands as he thought about everything she said. He was doing to her the exact thing he’d done all the other times.

He realized
he didn’t dislike her lifestyle. He was afraid of it. Afraid that the type of life she led was going to cause him hurt. It was something he couldn’t control.

What made me such a control freak?

He was scared of giving her his heart and getting it handed back when she became a big celebrity like her mother, or when she met someone who wasn’t ordinary like himself.

B
ut seeing her walk away was already shattering his heart. He felt as if his whole future walked away from him. Brett jumped to his feet and prayed the door was unlocked.

He didn’t see her when he walked inside, so he ran up the stairs toward her bedroom. “Hannah, where are you?” he yelled with desperation.

She
opened her bedroom door. He saw the surprised look on her face before he grabbed it and gave her a kiss, releasing his urgency onto her lips.

“I’
m sorry I hurt you again. I’ve been afraid I’m going to get hurt because of the different lives we lead. I’ve worried you’ll move away to be an actress or you’ll want someone who’s not ordinary like me, but you walking away just now hurt me more than anything.”

Still cupping her face, he ru
bbed his thumbs along her cheeks, wiping away tears.

“
I want to make it work. I don’t want to date anyone else, and I don’t want to see another man’s hands on you. I promise I’ve dove in. I want all of you, Hannah. Please say you’ll give me another chance.”

Brett saw the sweet grin h
e loved spread across her face, and he was determined this time to keep it there.

“Yes, Brett.”
She threw her arms up around his sweat covered neck, and kissed him passionately for several minutes. The sultry heat that had been building between them for a month was explosive.

“Get in the shower with me,” Hannah said, barely taking her lips off of his. She saw and felt his burning stare that showed his bottled-up desire for her. He picked her up and carried her to the bathroom, standing her up in front of the shower. He quickly stripped off his shoes and clothes. Hannah’s eyes widened when she saw his large erection spring from his boxers.

She felt his urgency slow as if he was preparing to soak in the view of every inch of her body. He
pulled her tank top up over her head and unhooked her bra, letting it fall to the floor. Hannah’s body shivered from the sensation of Brett’s warm lips touching her skin as he brushed kisses down her neck and along her shoulder. He leaned back up and locked his gaze with hers.

She was determined
to show him she was a grown up, so never taking her eyes off of him she unbuttoned her denim shorts and pulled them off, leaving herself exposed in only her lace panties. She felt she was on exhibit as she watched Brett’s gaze move up and down her body.

Her lips were gently kissed
before she felt her panties being tauntingly pulled down her silky legs. She stepped out of them and closed her eyes, shielding herself from his yearning gaze that had caused her body to tremble. She felt the lift of her chin, so she slowly opened her eyes to look at him.

“Hannah, don’t
be embarrassed or scared. You’re the most beautiful creature God ever made, and I only want to make you feel good.”

“I want you to feel good, too,” she said timidly.

“Oh I will, baby, don’t you worry about that,” he said before they wrapped their arms around each other and kissed sensually.

Hannah
pulled away and reached into the shower to turn the water on as she tried to get her wits back.

“Stay here.” She walked out of th
e bathroom and came back with bottles of men’s shampoo and body wash.

“
I bought these along with the toothpaste. I didn’t think you’d want your hair smelling like my girlie shampoo.”

“You’re right. I only want to smell that scent when I breathe it
in from your hair, which I do every time I’m close to you.”

She gave him a glowing
smile. Hannah let Brett take a shower while she stood under the water watching the thickened fibers of his muscles move as he moved. She watched the soil from the earth flow off of his body with the suds as she pondered how anyone that magnificent could want her and only her.

The pleasur
e she’d already felt from their intense encounters were exhilarating, so she couldn’t fathom anything feeling better.

When he finished showering, he pulled her tight into his arms. She ran her hands up and down his back and felt his erection getting harder against her.

She looked up at him. “I won’t move away from you, Brett, and you’ll never be ordinary. We need to get out of this shower.”

“I agree.”

Hannah felt his hungry gaze boring into her. They dried off, and he followed her into the bedroom, both of them naked and filled with incessant desire.

She stood frozen with her back to him
, unsure of how to tell him she wanted him in her bed. Fear had taken over, and she wondered how she was ever so forward with him.

Brett
moved her wet hair away from her neck before he leaned down to kiss it. She tilted her head to give him better access as he brushed kisses down her neck.

“I don’t want you to feel like you h
ave to do anything with me you’re not ready to do,” he whispered.

She turned and picked up his hand. Holding his palm to the side of her face
, she gazed up at him with a heavy longing. “Please, will you make love to me?”

He stared
down at her as water dropped from her hair onto her shapely breasts, sliding along them.

“There’s never been anything I’
ve wanted more, Hannah.” He picked her up and laid her on top of the bed.

She saw the panic wash over his face.

“I have a condom, but it’s in my truck.”

“I’m on the pill, and I have some condoms. My mom bought them for me, but I swear I’ve never given a guy one, and actually, you’re the first guy to ever be in my room,” she said anxiously as she reached in her nightstand.

He grinned. “You’re too
damn sweet. You know that?” He put on the condom and was on top of her in seconds, devouring her neck as his hand skimmed the curves of her body. “You have the softest skin, and I’m going to feel every inch of it.”

Hannah felt the twirling of her
nipples between his fingers before she felt his raring, wet tongue on them. The time he took giving each of her breasts attention had her experiencing pleasure she’d never felt before.

She could feel
his craving escalate as he groaned and sucked on her nipples more aggressively. Hannah pushed her hips up toward him, raking her nails down his back as the strength of the sensation mounted.

Brett released her harden nipple a
nd trailed kisses down her breasts to her stomach. As good as it felt, all she could think about was her desire to feel him inside of her, so she pulled on his firm arms.

H
e glided his hand down between her smooth thighs, and after inserting his fingers inside of her wet center, he moved them in and out gently. She let out a moan as her body quivered from his touch.

“God, you’re
warm, and it’s making me want to be inside of you—now.”

“Please.” Sh
e moaned loudly.

He
grabbed hold of some of her long, wet hair bunched on the pillow and entwined his other hand into hers by her head before he sank himself into her. His body stilled.

“
Hannah, you feel amazing.” Gazing at her with passion and devotion in his blue eyes, he ebbed and flowed inside of her repeatedly, going as deep into her warmth as her body would allow.

She tried to speak
but couldn’t. Her body was seized by the ravishment released upon it, and with every plunge, she felt each layer of fibers surrounding her nerves peeling away, exposing them to the overwhelming stings of pleasure. The sensation built until Hannah closed her eyes, unable to withstand it any longer, letting it steal the oxygen from her brain.

Colors over darkness flashed in her mind as she climaxed, c
ompressing him between her sizzling flesh. She felt the weight of Brett’s vigorous, muscular body on top of her as he plunged inside one last time.

He stilled and groaned as he erupted deep within her
, his hand squeezing tighter around hers. She couldn’t recall anything in her life ever feeling as pleasurable. Sweat pooled between their entwined fingers, their hearts palpitating against each other.

After they both regained their breath, s
he laid her head on his blazing, slick chest, and wrapped her arm around his slim waist. Both lay silent for several minutes as he ran his fingers up and down her arm.

She
propped herself up on her elbow, so she could see Brett’s face.

“Thank you. That was amazing.
”

“
Yes it was. God, Hannah you feel so incredible inside.”

“Just to let you know, you gave me my first orgasm
, and it was mind numbing. I saw colors. I’m sure sex is better to you with someone who has experience, but I’m more than willing to practice, and I’m now certain you’re an excellent teacher.”

The serious look
Hannah had become accustomed to seeing on Brett’s face became visible once again.

“I would normally
never
want to know this, and I’ve never asked anyone, but how many guys have you been with, Hannah? I only ask because I have to know I didn’t hurt you. I don’t think you’d tell me if I did.”

“You didn’t hurt me, and I shouldn’t have shared about m
y lack of experience. You’ll get all weird again about the age thing.”

“Hannah, we just excha
nged bodily fluids. I think we’re past that.”

She glanced away from him.

“Say it, Hannah. You’re really worrying me,” he said sharply.

“OK, OK
... you’re the third guy and the third time.”

“That’
s not many. I have to say I’m glad, but I would’ve been gentler with you had I known.”

“I swear it felt great.
My first time was in high school, and it was quick and did not feel good. Then ... I know this is
not
going to be a shock to you after what you’ve witnessed from me, but this past winter it happened at a party with someone I didn’t know. We were both very drunk. Luckily, he was really cool about it and didn’t spread it around to everyone.

“
I barely remember it, it was not enjoyable and meant nothing to me. I was devastated the next day, and then to make matters worse, someone leaked pictures of me drinking, so my parents were really upset with me. I didn’t drink again until Olivia’s party, so it didn’t take much for me to get drunk.

“
Nick wasn’t at the party when I ended up with the stranger, and then he was out of town for Olivia’s bash, so I think that’s why he became so protective the night you pushed him out of the way. I’m very grateful he wasn’t at Olivia’s party, or I wouldn’t have met you, and that would be a travesty,” she said, grinning.

“Considering how forward you were with me
, I thought you were more experienced.”

“
I was forward because I liked you the minute I met you. Anyway, that stuff is all in the past, and you showed me today how wonderful sex can be. I feel safe with you. I mean ... you even held my hand. What more could a girl ask for?”

Brett reached up and ran his fingers through her wet hair.
“I didn’t plan to hold your hand, and I’ve never done that before, but you’re different, Hannah. You’re special, and that was the best sex I’ve ever had. I mean it—the best. I could never get enough of you, and I love that I’m the first to pleasure you, too.”

Hanna
h thought of the call from her mother about the audition in Los Angeles. She wasn’t about to leave Brett.

He
knocked her elbow out from under her and rolled over on top of her.

She
gazed up at him and giggled as she twisted his messy, damp hair between her fingers.

“
So ... have you done other sexual things?”

“No, nothi
ng else.”

“I guess you don’t get su
mmer break after all, shortcake because I have a ton of things to teach you,” he said with a sly grin.

“Well, I think we shou
ld practice sex again right now.”

Ha
nnah pressed her eager lips to his, feeling nothing but love and joy in her heart.
