Hope's Chance(75)

Hope’s body jerked in ecstasy as I slid my head between her legs and pleasured her until she screamed my name out loud. Just as I had finished, she pulled my face up to hers and kissed me deeply. She always knew how crazy it made me when she did that.

Hope positioned herself on top of me and when our bodies became one, she took control of the movements. I took her hands into mine and she rocked back and forth on top of me. I wanted to grab at her hips, but I couldn’t make myself let go of her hands. Things were perfect and our bodies seemed in sync with one another.

For the second time, Hope began to pick up the pace and finally called out my name as she collapsed over me. I rubbed her back and played with her hair while she remained on top of my sweaty body. “How do you do that?” I asked.

“Do what?” She asked while laying across my chest.

“You make every time just as good as the first time, maybe even better.” I admitted.

I felt Hope shrug her shoulders. “You are just being nice because I gave you some.” She joked.

“Nope, it is the truth Hope. You are so damn irresistible. All I want to do is be with you.”

Hope began rubbing the top of my chest with her fingers. “Chance, can I ask you something?”

“Of course you can. Ask me anything baby."

“Did she love you?”

Except that. Damn! “I don’t know Hope. I don’t want to know.”

“How long did it go on? I mean, how many times?” She asked.

I didn’t count how many times. Hope was fishing for answers and she really didn’t need to know details like that. Hell, I didn’t even want to think about them. Doing that with Susan made me feel sneaky, and I almost always felt like I was doing something wrong.

“Hope, can we please not talk about it? I am not trying to be mean or hurt your feelings, and I surely didn’t tell you that to make you feel insecure. I just wanted you to know the truth, so that if she said anything you would not get the wrong idea about us. Please can we just lay here together?” I begged.

“I’m sorry. You’re right.” She said as she wrapped her arms around me.

“I want you to sleep here tonight. Do you think you can sneak out later?” I asked.

I could feel Hope smiling as she lay against my chest. Her head began to nod up and down. “Of course I can.”

“Hope?”

“Yes?”

“What do you want for Christmas? I mean, you haven’t told me anything.” I asked.

“Surprise me. I will love whatever you choose. My necklace is my most prized possession.” She admitted.

“I smiled, knowing exactly what I wanted to get her. She would love it, I was certain.”





Chapter 43


Hope

I woke up in Chance’s arms early the next morning. Sneaking out hadn’t been a problem the night before. My dad and Buffy came in from shopping around nine and went right to bed as a result of exhaustion from shopping all day.

When I looked at the clock, I knew I had plenty of time to cuddle with Chance before anyone noticed that I wasn’t in my room. I couldn’t wait for this charade to finally be finished. Maybe other people wouldn’t be able to understand how Chance had fallen in love with someone that hadn’t turned eighteen yet, but it wasn’t like he was dating a child.

I had been with other people, well one other person. My last relationship lasted a year. I had graduated High School and was attending College. What more could they expect out of an adult?

The fact was that I was head over heels in love with Chance and the three-year difference in our age meant nothing to us when we looked at the big picture.

There had been so many times when I wanted to tell my mother about him, but each time I had chickened out. If my mother was in the wrong kind of mood, it could have sent her over to my father’s house on the warpath. I had to play my cards right so that nobody got hurt.

When I finally felt Chances strong arms squeezing me tight, I knew he was finally awake. “Good morning baby.” He said with his eyes still closed.

“How did you know it was me?” I joked. “I could have placed an imposter here to fool you.”

“Your morning breath gave it away.” He kidded.

“Ha ha.” I said as I leaned up and kissed him.

“I knew because I never once let you out of my arms last night and because your skin always smells like honey.” He confessed.

“I like your comeback answer Chance. I will let you live to see another day now.” I said as I stood up and headed into the bathroom, where I found my spare toothbrush that Chance always kept for me.

“Mind if I use your toothbrush?” I joked. I stood there waiting for him to reply, but I didn’t hear him. That was until he appeared in the doorway, standing there naked in front of me.

“You have your own smart ass. Watch out for a minute. I have to piss.” He said as he walked toward the toilet and started going, while I stood there brushing my teeth.

“Seriously? I hate when you do this.”

“Do what Hope? I am going to the bathroom. You go to the bathroom at least ten times a day. What is the big deal?”

“You never want privacy though.” I confessed.

“No. I do want privacy, except from you. I have nothing to hide from you. I want to be able to share everything with you.”
