Alyssa's Choice (14 page)

Alyssa pulled up to Love Song, feeling a little nervous. She hadn’t seen her friends in a while, and she knew that they would want a full explanation. They might even be upset or at the very least offended that she hadn’t confided in them or asked for their help. She waited a couple of minutes, gathering her thoughts before stepping out of the car and walking up the stairs that led to the front door. She looked through the window and watched as Jessica rang up a customer, Hannah organized shelves, and Bella sat on the couch sipping a coffee.

She took a deep breath and opened the door, and everyone stopped what they were doing, staring at her. She rolled her eyes and walked toward the couch. It was time to for the interrogation to begin. She grabbed a water bottle off the counter and sat down next to Bella, waiting for her to say something.

A quiet sob jolted Alyssa and she stared at Bella, watching as her eyes filled with tears. She felt guilty, and her earlier panic deflated. She moved toward Bella and hugged her, holding her friend close as she cried. She bit her lip, wishing that she could change her reaction, wishing she would’ve run to her friends instead of away from them. She had been so scared, and now she realized that she had nothing to fear.

“Alyssa, we were all worried about you.” Jessica walked over to the couch and sat down on the other side of her. Jessica rubbed her back in slow, gentle circles, and Alyssa nodded, understanding that she was trying to give her comfort as well.

Bella dropped her arms and pulled away, and Alyssa wiped the tears off her face. “So, are we going to be aunts?” she asked, and Alyssa started laughing. Leave it to Bella to break the ice wide open.

“Yeah. I still can’t believe that I’m the first one having a baby. I thought it would be you for sure,” she said, looking at Bella. Her friend would make a wonderful mother, and she always thought she would be the first one married with kids since the rest of them seemed so screwed up.

“Really? I was betting Hannah. She’s totally the calm, nurturing type,” Bella said.

“No way. My guess was Jessica. The woman who’s in control of everything, I bet she could do the whole mom thing without a doubt.” Hannah walked over to the sitting area and leaned against the counter. Alyssa loved this, the four of them together.

“Don’t look at me like that, little Hannah banana, and take that back. I don’t want a baby. Jeez, could you imagine?” Jessica groaned. Alyssa decided not to push the issue, thinking that her question was probably rhetorical. “I’m surprised you’re here. Grant and Justin, I mean, have you seen them?”

“Yeah, they spent last night with me at the house, but I wanted to come here today and chat with you guys. I didn’t want you to be worried about me, and I know that I left in a hurry.” She shook her head, trying to find the right words. “It’s just that I didn’t know what to do.” She leaned against the couch, laying her head back.

“You’re here now, that’s all that matters,” Jessica said, and Alyssa smiled. She would always have her back. She loved that about her friends. No matter what the issue was, they were always there for each other. “Are you here for the day or are you going back home to see your men?” Jessica laughed. Of course, there were times where they completely embarrassed her.

“They’re packing my things. I’m moving in with them.” She cringed, waiting to hear everyone weigh in on that announcement.

“Wow, they move fast. Good for them. They aren’t letting you get away this time.” Jessica gave her a quick half hug and went to help a customer that nobody else had noticed. They needed a louder bell at the door. On the other hand, maybe she hadn’t been paying attention like everyone else was. Alyssa yawned. She felt tired and a bit run-down. She needed a nap.

“Go ahead and go home. Take some time to relax. We’re going to need you in top shape for when Jessica goes out of town on vacation. We decided that she needed a break.” Bella winked, and Alyssa wondered if she really knew about Jessica’s little vacations.

“I’ll head home in a few minutes. I’m just going to rest here for a bit.” Bella and Hannah went back to work and Alyssa closed her eyes, desperately needing a little nap before she went to find Grant and Justin.

* * * *

Justin and Grant were both busy putting Alyssa’s clothes away when the phone rang. It had been an amazing day so far. Grant woke up next to Alyssa, they made her breakfast, and she agreed to move in with them. Things were definitely looking up. In fact, he was surprised that she didn’t argue with them or at least make them beg for a few minutes. The look on her face had said it all. She was happy, and she wanted to be with them.

“Grant, that was Jessica on the phone. She wants us to come pick Alyssa up. She fell asleep on the couch in the store, and they don’t want to wake her up.” Justin was laughing, and Grant smiled.
Poor girl.
She needed more rest, especially after all the driving she had done and the stress she had been under. Their baby must be making her tired. Their baby—he stopped and let those words run through his mind. He still couldn’t believe he was going to be a dad, and he wished that his parents were here today to see them. The pub was a success, and now they were a part of a family with the most beautiful woman in the world.

“Let’s go get our girl,” he said. They walked outside, and he took a deep breath, feeling more alive than he could ever remember. They walked down the street only a short distance to Love Song, ready to get Alyssa and bring her back home. They had worked hard, moving all of her clothes into their apartment.

“We’re going to need a bigger place.” Justin pulled him out of his thoughts of Alyssa and he stopped right in front of the store.

“That’s true. What do you think we should do?” he asked, wondering if they would need to build a house. There wasn’t a lot of real estate in Coltmann County, but they could all start looking together.

“I think we should fix up Mom and Dad’s house. It’s been sitting empty for years, and I think that maybe it’s time.” Grant had forgotten all about that beautiful old house. They had let it sit empty for so long, never even driving by, not wanting to open up old wounds. The thought of moving in with both Justin and Alyssa, of starting their own family seemed right.

“We should probably go there and clean it up a bit, maybe move our things in and surprise Alyssa.” He walked up the stairs and opened the door, hearing the bell tinkle. He looked around and spotted Alyssa lying down on the couch, a blanket thrown over her. She looked so peaceful, a beautiful smile on her face. They walked toward her, and he wondered what she was dreaming about.

“Thanks for coming to pick her up. She looks so peaceful, and I really hate to wake her, but we are tiptoeing around the store and whispering to customers. Plus, this goes against the no-men policy. Bella is totally going to kill me for this, especially since I banned her men,” Jessica told them, and Grant just shook his head, not taking his eyes off Alyssa. She was theirs. That thought completely floored him, and he felt his heart swell in his chest.

“Do you want to carry her?” Justin asked him, and he nodded. Justin laughed a little, and Grant realized that he was staring at Alyssa and ignoring everyone else in the store, but he didn’t care.

“Thanks for calling us. We’re gonna take her home,” Justin said, and Grant leaned down and pulled her into his arms as gently as he could. She only moved to snuggle closer to his chest, and he headed out the store, wanting to get her home. His focus was completely on the fragile package he was carrying.

* * * *

Justin couldn’t wipe the grin off his face. He stared at Grant walking slowly, carrying Alyssa as if she were a piece of glass. His brother was so in love, and everything seemed to be falling into place perfectly. This was what he had been waiting for, for Grant to finally open his heart so that they could find love and eventually have a family. Now, they had both, and it was a miracle. He stayed behind, wanting to talk to Jessica and Bella, hoping that they would help him out with their new plan.

The door closed behind Grant, and Justin stood there staring after them until they were out of sight. He turned to Jessica. “I was wondering if you could help us out. We’re going to fix up our parents place, and we were hoping to surprise Alyssa.”

“Awwww, that’s so sweet.” Hannah bounced over to them and leaned against the counter. The girl was adorable. She had huge doe eyes and a giant smile. He wasn’t the least bit surprised that she ended up with two overprotective men, Reese and Logan.

“Thanks.” He cleared his throat. “Our apartment isn’t going to work for too long especially since we’re gonna have a baby.” At the word
baby,
all the women in the store turned toward him, smiling and congratulating him, and he realized that he just made an official announcement. He shrugged. Everyone would know soon enough.

“Let us help you. We can clean up the house and paint, anything, and it would be so amazing to decorate a baby’s room. Please, please, please,” Bella chimed in, and he realized that they had much more work than he initially realized.

“Okay. Um, I’m not sure how we’re gonna keep this a secret. We might need to work in shifts so that there is someone keeping Alyssa busy.”

“Send her to the spa. I’ll keep her busy for a few hours. Then send her out shopping for maternity clothes. Don’t worry about a thing, Justin, we can figure it out,” Ivy chimed in, and he hadn’t even noticed her standing behind the lingerie rack.

“I’ll take her shopping for maternity clothes and some baby stuff,” Hannah volunteered. Different women throughout the store started talking, telling him their ideas, and Justin just nodded, not really sure what to do. He loved this town, though. People always wanted to lend a hand and help each other out.

“Don’t worry about a thing, young man. You go take care of Alyssa and leave the rest to us,” Mrs. Duncan told him as she pushed him out of the store. The door closed in his face, and he stood there staring at the group of women huddling around, making a plan. He shook his head in shock. These women definitely ran the town and had no problem kicking him out of his own plan. He wondered if any of the other men knew but then realized that he wasn’t going to be the one to tell them.

Justin whistled as he walked back toward the pub. He had been a little worried initially in mentioning the house to Grant but now was completely relieved that Grant thought the idea was great. He walked up the stairs to their apartment, taking the steps slowly. He didn’t want to make any extra noise just in case Alyssa was sleeping.

He heard quiet moans and went to the bedroom. He leaned against the doorframe when he saw Grant lying on the bed and Alyssa sucking his cock. She had her naked ass pointed straight at him, and he licked his lips, wanting to taste her. Instead, he watched the sexy scene play out in front of him. It gave him some sort of carnal satisfaction to see them like this, his brother holding onto the bed frame and Alyssa licking his cock like a delicious treat.

They didn’t notice him, and he didn’t mind. He started taking off his clothes quietly, wanting to be inside her.

* * * *

Alyssa was horny, sexually frustrated. She had begged Grant to take her right when they got into the bedroom, but he had refused. He said that she needed to rest and relax. After a few minutes of kissing, she shoved her hand down his pants, pulling at his cock, needing him. He hadn’t known what hit him. Alyssa worked his pants down, pulled out his cock, and shoved it in her mouth.

The taste of him hit her hard, and she moaned loudly, pulling as much of him into her mouth as she could. She grabbed his cock with both hands working him. “Oh, God. Please, baby.” Grant moaned, and she had no idea if he was asking her to stop or begging her to keep going. It didn’t matter, though. She bobbed her head up and down his shaft, wanting to taste him, wanting to give him all the pleasure that he had given her.

“Help.” He moaned loudly, and she wondered if she was doing something wrong. She started to pull off his cock when she felt two large hands grab her ass. She wiggled her butt, hoping that Justin would fuck her hard while she sucked on Grant’s erection.

“Poor Grant.” Justin’s voice was laced with a teasing tone, and she laughed around the hard shaft in her mouth. “It looks like Alyssa loves having your cock in her mouth. Let’s see if she loves having my cock in her pussy.” She felt the blunt tip at her entrance and stopped moving for a minute, wanting him inside her.

“Don’t stop, baby, swallow him. Show him how much you love his cock,” Justin said as he slapped her ass. The stinging sensation ran through her body, and she curled her toes. She could feel her pussy dripping, and she pushed back, feeling the head of his cock move inside her. Justin finally moved then, inch by delicious inch until he was buried deep. He stopped, and she could feel his cock jerk and flex inside her.

She renewed her efforts, sucking Grant hard. Each time she moved, Justin moved, rewarding her. The more she gave, the more she received. This was becoming her new favorite game, and she smiled to herself, knowing exactly what to do. She moved her mouth and hands together, faster. She changed the rhythm, making Grant groan and beg, and swallowed around him, feeling him deep in her throat.

Alyssa wanted to try something new, and she hoped that Grant wouldn’t be angry with her. She licked her finger, getting it nice and wet. She found his ass and gently pushed in. “Holy mother of God! Baby.” She took her time alternating between sucking him and pushing her finger in. She had heard Jessica talking about the ultimate pleasure for a man and wanted to please Grant.

She pushed her finger into his ass, feeling around until she found what she was looking for and massaged his prostate. His hips bucked, “Oh, fuck! Alyssa, what the hell are you doing to me?” She sucked harder while rubbing the little donut-shaped prostate.

“What is she doing?” Justin pumped his hips and leaned down against her back, kissing her shoulder. She moaned, loving the contact. “Tell me, Grant. I’ll punish her,” he whispered, and she knew he would, too, and she couldn’t wait.

“She put her finger…” He panted, dropping off those last words. Justin must’ve known what he was talking about. He moved his body back, and she felt his fingers rubbing small circles on her hole. She held her breath, waiting. He pushed his finger in slowly, pumping his hand in the same rhythm as his hips. It felt amazing. She loved how full she felt.

Alyssa could feel her orgasm building, growing, and spreading through her body like a bomb ready to explode.

“Oh, God. I’m gonna come. Alyssa, oh, baby. Swallow me!” Grant yelled, throwing his head back, and Alyssa swallowed him down, tasting the warm jets of spunk as they hit her tongue. She groaned loudly, and Justin picked up his pace, fucking her hard and deep. Her climax washed over her body, and Alyssa screamed as she came, her body shaking and convulsing. She leaned her head onto Grant’s thigh, trying to catch her breath, closing her eyes.

Justin pulled out of her slowly, and she felt the bed dip. Alyssa collapsed fully onto her stomach, taking slow, deep breaths. Grant moved, putting a hand under each armpit and pulling her up his body. She groaned. He was so strong, and she stared at the muscles on his stomach bunching and flexing. She lay on his chest, and he wrapped his arms around her, holding her tight. She closed her eyes. The room smelt like sex, and she grinned. She could get used to this.

“You are amazing. I’ve never come that hard in my life. Every time with you.” He took a deep breath. “Words aren’t enough. You mean so much to me.” Grant kissed the top of her head. She kissed his chest and wrapped her arms around him the best she could, wanting to hold him as well.

She felt a warm cloth touch her pussy, and she jerked, trying to get away from the wet towel. “Calm down. I’m almost done cleaning you off, and then you can sleep with Grant.” She stopped moving, and a minute later, the cloth was gone.
