More Than Enough (Enough #2) (19 page)

She looked
back at me and pouted while she kept rocking back on me, and it was the sexiest fucking sight I’ve ever seen. “But if feels so good, Kell. I don’t want to stop. I just can’t believe having you inside me feels this good. And I want to feel what you do to me all day.” She just kept going, and it was making me almost lose my mind with what I was seeing and feeling. I knew it would be but a few seconds until I came, and I was praying frantically that Athena was close too. She started making sexy moans that I was coming to recognize as a sign that she was about there. I moved up into her until she came, and I let myself follow her with a loud groan.

Afterwards, Athena drifts b
ack to sleep, and I’ve got too much pent up energy to do the same. I walk myself out to the kitchen and observe that the penthouse is still very quiet. The other couples could’ve gotten home just a few hours ago and might be in a bed all day, but I hope Athena isn’t. I still wanted to run with her today and spend some time together.

I smile just thinking about her beautiful face, and how I’m the only person she’s ever been with. She’s
become such a huge part of my life so fast, and I can’t believe I’m a lucky enough bastard that she wants to be with me. I turn to open the fridge and spot my brother sitting on the opposite wall on a counter.

I turn to him and say, “Can’t believe you’re up so early, Bro. I thought you’d be asleep till at least noon and it’s barely nine.” He grimaces and explains, “Carter drank too much last night cause Hampton was egging her on. She threw up for forever, and I was terrified that she needed to go to the hospital. She’s fine now, but I haven’t been able to get myself calmed down enough to go to sleep.”
He looks at me with anxiety in his eyes and continues,“I just can’t fucking lose her, Keller. She’s everything to me, and she just couldn’t stop getting sick. She’s so tiny, and I was just so fucking scared. It was one of the worst nights of my life. I want her to be able to have fun, but she can’t fucking drink like that again.”

Stunned, that Carter had such a bad night, and Brayden hadn’t gotten me. “Why the hell didn’
t you come get me, man? I could’ve been there for her and you.” He looked at me seriously and said, “I know you’re starting to care for Athena, and if you’re going to give her what she needs, you can’t come running every time Carter has a problem. That’s not fair to her.” He shrugs and explains, “I woulda just taking her to the fucking emergency room and gotten her stomach pumped, but I was scared she’d get kicked off the volleyball team. I didn’t want that to happen over one night that she’d just partied too hard.”

             
I ask him, “You’re sure she’s good now.” He looks at me like I’m stupid and asks, “Do you really think I’d be out here if she wasn’t?” I nod and feel a little better, he would’ve never left the room if she wasn’t okay.

I start to breathe normally again and remember why it’s such a good morning for me with Athena still in my bed. Brayden gave me a weird look and said, “Why you smiling like that, Bro. You’re freaking me out. You never just smile, and I’ve had a long night. Please stop acting strange and just do your normally grumpy look. I can’t take anything else right now.”

              I give him an annoyed glance and tell him, “Maybe I’m just fucking happy, and you should be a good brother, instead of an asshole, and just be happy for me.” I reach in the fridge and grab a drink while he looks like he’s thinking for a minute before he finally speaks again, “Damn, Keller, I didn’t realize you and Athena left the party for that. Congratulations, man, I’m so happy for you. She’s an awesome girl, and Carter loves her which is the most important thing to me. I really hope you guys stay together, man.”

             
Stunned, I just stare at him while I drink my orange juice. He just smiles at me and shrugs. Finally, I give in and ask quietly, “How’d you fucking figure out that we’d slept together?” Confused that he’d caught on so quickly, He smirks at me and explains quietly, which I appreciate, “The looks you’ve been given each other have been filled with so much sexual tension that Carter and I’d worried that you’d explode with it. We both knew it was only a matter of time before it happened. Then this morning, I tell you about Carter, and you’re upset. But once you here she’s alright, you go back to that stupid grin you were wearing when I first saw you. I knew that had to because you got laid, bro.”

             
I just shake my head exasperated with him for figuring it out so soon. I warn him, “I don’t know if Athena wants anybody to know. So keep this to yourself for now, alright.” He nods his head but warns, “I’ll keep it to myself except with Carter. I don’t keep shit from her ever since that stuff with Lena last year. But she won’t tell anybody or let Athena know she knows.”

             
I wasn’t thrilled with that, but there wasn’t a lot I could do about it since Brayden guessed. I decided to go check on Athena and see if she wanted to run with me. I’m such a sap that I’m already missing her. Brayden was already heading back to his room anyway. I just gave him a half wave and headed back down the hall to my room.

             
Athena was up and in a green sports bra and black running shorts with her hair in a high ponytail. This girl could read my mind. She’s so amazing. I watch as she leans over to stretch and feel myself get hard as I watch her flex her long leg from her ankle to her thigh. I can’t ever seem to decide which part of her is my favorite. Every bit of her is just so amazing to look at.

             
She must have been calling my name as I was just staring at her because she waves her hand in front of my face and asks, “Kell, you wanna get ready to go?” I know you mentioned a run, and I still want to get to my classes this afternoon.” I nod slowly still hardly able to take my gaze off her body and get dressed as she waits. She doesn’t seem ashamed to study my body as I change into my workout clothes.

             
I like that even though she was a virgin, she doesn’t seem embarrassed about sex or wanting me. She licks her lips as I stand before her in just my boxers. The look in her eyes tells me exactly what she’d like to do with me. I ask her, “You sure you want to go on a run right now?” She smiles and nods reluctantly, “I’d love to do what you’re thinking about, Kell, but I’m really sore right now.”

             
With that, I start to feel really guilty that she’s hurting because of me. She puts a hand on my shoulder and pulls me towards her. “Hey, don’t feel bad about that, please. I initiated things this morning, and I don’t regret a moment of any of it. I’m just telling you that what I want to do and what I can do are two different things right now. You were perfect last night, and I’ve never wanted anyone like I want you.”

             
My chest just felt like it was going to burst out of my body at her words. I realized that I’d loved Carter for so long without any encouragement or romantic feelings from her that I’d started to expect romantic relationships to be one sided. But Athena is giving me affirmation and telling me how much she wants me too. I have to pull her to me and mold my mouth to hers. I don’t let go of her lips until we’re both panting with longing.

             
I look at her guiltily and say, “Sorry, Red, I just couldn’t resist. I want you too, but all the time. Every time you walk in a room, my body reacts immediately.” She looks at me with longing but tries to shake it off, “Kell, if we don’t go run now; we aren’t going to.” I agree and pull her out the door with me.

             
We take the elevator down and get outside and just start running. I look over at her as we try to find a good pace together, and her hair is just shining in the sunlight. I can’t believe I’m with this beautiful girl that suits me so perfectly. She’s so peaceful to be around, but also so sexy and full of life. I’m just scared now that I’m so happy that I’ll find a way to fuck everything up. She glances over at me and as I look into her sparkling green eyes, I promise myself that I won’t let anything happen to us.

Chapter 16

Athena

The next few weeks with Keller are absolutely perfect. I thought he was great to be around before, but since he’s been getting sex regularly, he’s an extremely happy guy. We hang out with Carter and Brayden some, but not all the time. I think we both
just want to be together without having to pay attention to anybody else.

Carter and I danced for their ACC championship game, which they won. It was a huge victory for FSU, and Keller made some huge game changing tackles. All the sports reporters are saying he’ll go pro next year. I asked him about it, and he just shrugged and said, “We’ll see what kind of season I have next year. I don’t want to jump the gun and not get a decent contract.”

He plays things like that so casual when I’d be dying inside from excitement. But the money’s not as important to him. He’s already got millions in the bank from his mom. He wants to succeed for himself. So I guess he doesn’t have to rush things the way I would.

School just let out for the semester, and Keller’s asked me to go to Hawaii for Christmas and meet his dad and stepmom. Brayden and Carter are coming too which make
s me feel a little less nervous about the whole thing. Brayden doesn’t want to go at all, and I can tell that Carter’s talked him into it.

But whenever the subject comes up about seeing their parents, Carter looks like she’s going to get sick, and I asked Keller why she’s that nervous about going. He warned me that Carter’s mom is the biggest bitch he’s ever met, and she’s really cruel to Carter. That confuses me. Carter’s the sweetest warmest person I’ve ever met. She’s on a volleyball scholarship and helps run a company. How could her own mother not absolutely adore her?
             

Just then I hear a knock on my door, and I yell, “Come in.”
Carter walks in wearing black shorts and a pink tank top. “Hey, I wondered if you needed any help packing or advice on what to wear.” I smile at her gratefully and tell her, “That’d be amazing, Carter, I haven’t ever been anywhere this tropical, and I’ve got no idea if we’re going to need dress clothes or not.”

She drops down beside me on the floor and informs me, “You’ll definitely need dress clothes, but I bought you two new dresses when I bought myself some for the trip. So you’ll just need to pack matching shoes for those but bring your other dress too. My mother is inflated with her own self-importance. So we could be dressing up to be seen and admired every single
night.” Her words make me tense with nerves. I’ve never been around rich people other than Keller, Carter, and Brayden, and I think they are definitely more the exception than the rule.

I decide to just confess to Carter about my nerves and see what she says, “Carter, I’m really nervous about meeting Kell’s dad and your mom. Do you
think they’re going to like me? I’m just scared I won’t know how to act or what to say to them. I’ve never really been around rich people before you guys.”

Carter grimaced at me and says, “This is one of those times that I wish I could just tell you that everything is going to be okay, and our parents are just really nice and down to earth people who you’ll l
ove. But they aren’t. I’m anxious about even talking to my mother, and Bray and Kell’s dad isn’t as bad. But he isn’t real easy to talk to either. Bray and I wouldn’t even be going, but Kell still wants to see his dad. And we don’t feel like he should have to do it without us.” I think on her words and look at her eyes which are reflecting fear, and I suddenly feel a lot worse than I did before I talked to her.

I head over to Kell’s that night, and we go to bed early and just make love for a few hours before we drift off to sleep. The next morning, I wake up when he’s carrying me to the shower. I just let him wash my body off and treasure his touch while I can. Shower time ends way too soon
for me, and he’s taking my bags to the car while I run through the list in my head of everything I packed.

I get to the hallway, and Carter looks almo
st green. I look to Brayden who has his arms wrapped around her entire body. He’s talking quietly to her, but I’m still able catch what he’s saying comfortingly, “It’s going to be okay, baby. You don’t have to go if you don’t want to. Keller will understand, and he has Athena now. You and I can just stay here and have our very own Christmas together. We’ll go get a tree and decorate it with all your favorite ornaments. Don’t make yourself sick over this, baby, please.”

They still haven’t noticed me in the hallway, and Carter replies back to him, “I can’t not go, Bray. Kell needs to have us with him for Christmas, and I don’t want Athena to have to deal with my mom on her own. She’s young and extremely beautiful. Do you think that
’ll go well for her with my mother? I’ve got to face this and not give her anymore power over me.” She pulls him down to where he’s on eye level with her and says, “I can’t let her control me, okay.” Brayden kisses her softly and whispers, “Okay, baby, I love you, and I know you’re strong enough for this.”
