Without You (15 page)

“The other one?” I asked.

“Just a girl I dated for a bit. She wanted more, but I wasn’t ready to give it to her.”

I nodded. “So, there has never been a girl who made you want more?”

He looked off over the pasture. He turned back to me and said barely above a whisper, “No. Never.”

But his eyes were giving me a different answer. I knew Luke cared for Libby. How much he cared about her was what I didn’t know. I wondered how Libby would react to seeing Luke at school with another girl. I pushed it aside and finished off my water.

“She loves you, Will.”

I smiled and nodded my head. “I know she does. I also know Gunner has been filling her head with you-need-to-experience-more-in-life bullshit.”

Luke laughed. “Sounds like Uncle Gunner. He just wants to make sure she’s happy, Will. You’d be the same way if it were your daughter, and you know it.”

I stood up and let out a moan. “Fuck, I know. I just feel like Lex is…”

Luke stood up. “Is what?”

“I don’t know. Never mind. I’m letting my imagination run wild, and all it’s going to do is eat me alive this year.”

Luke slapped my back. “Ain’t that the truth? Dude, you can’t worry about Alex and what she’s doing. Trust her, Will. She loves you.”

Nodding my head, I agreed. “We still throwing the field party tomorrow night?”

He looked over at me and gave me a funny face. “What the hell is wrong with you? Hell yes, we are still throwing it, and I plan on getting drunk off my ass.”

I let out a gruff laugh. “Why?”

“I just need to forget shit for a bit.”

“Dude, that doesn’t help.”

His eyes grew sad, and he smiled weakly. “It will for a little bit.”

I watched as Libby talked to Lauren, Lex, and Grace. I was so glad my sister was coming to A&M with me. Jason had been hanging around a little too close to Libby all night, and my patience was running thin with him. He had asked Libby to dance twice, and she’d turned him down both times.

I glanced over to Colt while he was dancing with Rachel. The bastard looked miserable. When my eyes caught Mike, I balled my fists. The fucker was whispering something to a girl I’d never seen before. I quickly looked back at Grace, who noticed Mike, too. Her smile faded, and she just stood there, watching.

This wasn’t the Grace I knew. The Grace I knew would walk up to the bastard and kick him in the balls. The girl handed Mike a piece of paper, and he stuck it in his back pocket. I looked back at Grace as she downed her beer.

I walked over to where the girls were standing. I made my way to Grace and smiled weakly. “Grace, tell me you’re not letting him get away with cheating on you.”

“What?”

I shook my head as I took her by the arm and pulled her off to the side. “Grace, I know you saw that girl give Mike her number. Why are you putting up with his shit?”

“I know what I’m doing, Will. For once in your life, will you please keep your nose out of my damn business?”

Taking a step back, I held up my hands. “Fine. You know what? If you want to be treated like that, have at it, Grace. It’s your choice.”

I turned and walked up to Lex. I kissed her on the cheek and asked, “Wanna dance?”

She nodded her head quickly. “I sure do, cowboy!”

Lex and I danced and laughed for most of the night. I knew we were both just trying to hide the fact that we would be leaving for college in two weeks.

She pulled me closer to her as she whispered, “Make love to me.”

Smiling, I asked, “Where?”

She looked around and bit down on her lower lip. “The river. Right now.”

My mouth dropped open. “Are you nuts?”

She started laughing, and then she began running to the river. I quickly followed after her, but there was no way I would have sex with her in front of all these people—dark river or not.

Lex stripped out of her T-shirt and then pulled her boots off. Next came her jean shorts. Two seconds later, she was jumping into the river in her two-piece suit.

Right before coming to the party, we had all jumped off the rope swing into the river—well, mostly Colt and Luke had jumped off it, trying to outdo the other—so we still had on our swimsuits from earlier.

I pulled my T-shirt over my head and took off my sneakers. I’d opted to just wear my swim trunks here and not sweat my ass off in jeans. I glanced around. No one else was in the water.

I turned back around and looked at most everyone dancing. Taylor and Lauren were dancing with their friends, and Maegan was making out with some guy she had brought from Fredericksburg. Some people were standing by the fire we’d started in the fire pit. I saw Luke talking to Libby. He was already drunk, so I just prayed he wouldn’t say anything to hurt her.

I looked back at Lex, and she was holding up the bottoms to her swimming suit.

Motherfucker. She’s gonna kill me.

I quickly checked my pocket for a condom and ran toward the river. I jumped in, and she let out a small scream. I made my way to her and pulled her to me. My dick was already hard as a rock, knowing she was half-naked in the water.

She wrapped her legs around me, shoved her swimsuit bottoms into my pocket, and stuck her hand down my shorts. She slowly began stroking me.

“Damn it, Lex. If your brother sees us…”

She began kissing me. “He won’t.”

“Luke…” I whispered against her lips.

“He’s so damn drunk that he has no idea what’s going on.”

When she pulled her hand out of my shorts, she began pushing them down until my dick sprang free. She jumped off me, and I ripped the condom open as I moved to shallow water. I quickly rolled it on before moving back to where Lex was.

She quickly positioned herself over me and sank down.

I let out a groan.

She whispered, “Yes, that feels good. I’ve been wanting you all day.”

“Lex…”

She began grinding against me as she brought her lips back to mine. “Will…oh God, this turns me on so much.”

I began walking a little ways down so that we were somewhat away from everyone. I stopped and looked around, making sure I didn’t see any snakes. One quick look back at the party, and I was satisfied no one could see us.

I turned back to Lex and decided to give her a little taste of something different. “I’m gonna fuck you now, Lex.”

Her mouth dropped open as she slowly sucked in a breath of air and then whispered, “Yes.”

I grabbed her hips and began moving in and out of her body, hard and fast.

She wrapped her arms around my neck and dropped her head back. “Yes! Will, yes!”

I could feel her tightening up.

She snapped her head forward and looked into my eyes. “I’m gonna come.”

I stopped moving.

“No! No, no, no, Will. Why did you stop? I was about to come.”

I could hear the frustration in her voice.

“I don’t want you to come yet, baby.”

Her eyes grew bigger. “Will, I want to come!”

After looking back again, I slowly made my way farther down the river, still buried deep inside Lex. I wasn’t sure what in the hell I was thinking. We could be seen at any moment, and there could be snakes around us. At this point though, the only thing thinking was my dick. I saw the rock I was looking for, and I made my way to it. By the time I reached it, Lex was panting with need.

“Will, I don’t want to go swimming. I want you to do what you said.”

I looked back and couldn’t see anyone.

When I turned back to Lex, I smiled. “Tell me what you want, Lex.”

“What?” she barely said.

“I want to hear you say it, Lex, from your sweet, innocent lips. I want to hear you say it.”

She closed her eyes, and when they opened again, I could see the moon in her eyes, and they were sparkling with lust.

“Fuck me, Will. I want you to fuck me.”

I pulled out of her and spun her around. We were in waist-deep water now, so it was easier to stand. I pushed her bathing suit top up, exposing her breasts.

I kissed her neck and said, “Touch yourself, Lex.”

She quickly brought both hands up and began playing with her nipples.

“Shit…that is sexy as hell.”

She dropped her head back and moaned.

I couldn’t wait another second. “Spread your legs some, Lex, and promise me, you’ll tell me if I hurt you.”

Her breathing became heavier, and she looked over her shoulder at me. “I-I promise.”

“Put your hands on the rock, baby. I’m gonna fuck you from behind. I’ve been dreaming about this for weeks.”

“Oh God, Will…yes…please now…”

I pushed myself into her, hard and fast, and she let out a gasp.

“Are you okay?”

“Move! Will, move!”

I grabbed her hips and began doing just what I’d said I was going to do. The sound of our bodies hitting in the water and Lex moaning had my dick growing harder. It was so damn hard that it almost hurt.

“Jesus, Lex. You look so damn sexy. Does it feel good?”

“Yes! Will, I’m going to come. Harder! Please…harder.”

I grabbed her hips and began fucking her harder. The friction of our bodies and the sounds of splashing water were soon replaced by us calling out each other’s names at the same time.

“I’m coming! Oh God, Will…it feels…so…good. Will…oh, Will!”

“Yeah…right there it is…ah…Lex, I’m coming. Oh God, Lex.”

I’d never had an orgasm like that before. It was more than intense. It was unbelievable, and it lasted for what seemed like forever. It had never felt so damn good, and for the first time, I wished I wasn’t wearing a condom, so I could just spill myself into her.

Lex collapsed over the rock as she gasped for air. “My. God. That. Was. Incredible.”

I quickly looked, and no one was around. I pulled off the condom and gave it a toss.

“Lex…I’ve never felt something so…amazing.” I was trying to take in slow deep breaths.

She turned and pulled her swim top down, covering her breasts. She walked up to me and smiled as she wrapped first her arms and then her legs around me.

“It just keeps getting better and better, Will. I wanted to just scream out because it felt so good.”

I gently kissed her lips. “Yes, it did. We’re gonna have to fuck more often.”

She giggled and nodded her head. “Yeah, we are.”

“I love you, Lex.”

“I love you, too, Will. I always will.”

I gently sucked her bottom lip into my mouth as she let out a small moan. I began moving us back up the river, and we drifted back to where everyone was.

“What are y’all doing alone down here in the river at night?”

My lips pulled away from Lex’s, and she had a look of horror on her face. We both turned to see Gunner and Jeff standing on the edge of the river.

Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Where did I throw the condom? In the river? On the bank? Oh, holy shit, Lex doesn’t have her bottoms on.

“Swimming, Daddy. What does it look like?”

I swallowed hard.

“Get off of him, Lex. Will, you know better. There could be snakes. Both of y’all get the hell out,” Gunner said.

Lex got off of me, and she stuck her hand in the pocket of my swim trunks. I jumped back, but she glared at me. She pushed her hand in again and pulled something out.

Her bottoms.

As we moved farther up the stream, Gunner and Jeff walked along the edge. I pulled up my trunks and attempted to act normal.

“What are y’all doing down here?”

Jeff looked at me and then back at Lex, who was attempting to put her bottoms on while making it seem like she wasn’t putting her bottoms on.

I stood up and began walking out of the river.

Gunner looked back at the party and then back at me. “Where did y’all get the beer? And who is drinking?”

I silently said a prayer that Colt wasn’t drinking. He had football practice the next day, and he wouldn’t want to get sick from drinking.

“Um…Luke, me…” I turned back and looked at Lex.

She was still trying to get dressed, but she just looked like she was sitting there. She nodded her head, and I looked back at Gunner.

“Um…Lex had one, and Libby had one.”

Gunner tilted his head. “Taylor here?”

I nodded my head. “Yes, sir, but both Lauren and Taylor know they aren’t allowed to drink.”

Jeff and Gunner both nodded their heads.

Gunner looked back out at Lex. “Alex, what in the hell is wrong with you? Get out of the water right now.”

I was just about to say something when she popped up out of the water…with her bottoms on.

She got out and walked by, making her way over to her T-shirt and shorts. I watched her every move and got a slap on the back of the head…and then another slap.

“Hey!” I shouted.

Gunner gave me a look that honestly scared me. “Put your damn eyes back in your head.”

Jeff laughed and shook his head. “Will, is Luke drinking?”

I nodded my head. “Yes, sir, a lot, but I’m planning on keeping my eye on him.”

Jeff nodded his head. “I’ll kick his ass if he tries to drive.”

I shook my head. “No, sir. No one will be driving if they’ve had anything to drink. We took the keys, and Taylor put them in a safe place.”

Both Gunner and Jeff nodded their heads.
