Prologue: Hudson
10 years ago.
“You make me feel normal.”
I lift my head my gaze to find Audrey, her mesmerizing eyes that sometimes look moss green and sometimes a twinkling hazel depending on her mood, looking at me. My lips pull at the edges, and I find myself wanting to smile, my chest full, a tingle where my heart beats. I haven’t had a life with a lot to smile about but this girl makes all of it fade away. I roll my body, pinning her supple softness to the bed where we just made love, my body looming over her, and I realize that I’d cut my chest open and bleed on the ground at her feet if she asked me to. It’s terrifying how much I feel for her, how much she owns me. Only one other person has that from me, and she’s the woman who gave me life. I stroke my fingers gently down her soft cheek and consider her words. I never want to make Audrey feel normal, I want her to feel special and adored every single day.
“I’m sorry, Belle.”
Her lips twitch at the name I have taken to calling her when we’re alone. My Belle, all that beauty both inside and out, but that’s not why I call her Belle. It’s because, to me, she’s like that Disney character, smart and willing to challenge the world around her, rather than do what is expected. She is fierce and I love that about her. Her head tilts to the side and she gives me a quizzical look.
“Why are you sorry?”
Genuine confusion creases her forehead and I try to smooth it away with a swipe of my thumb, my hand caressing her cheek before my thumb tugs on her bottom lip as I gaze at her. She’s so fucking sexy, and I can feel my cock lengthen as I lie cradled between her thighs. The silky wet feel of her pussy makes me groan as I rock my hips gently, the crown of my cock nudging against her sensitive clit. Her body shudders and I want to drink down the whimper that escapes from her throat. To own every single noise past her lips, as if it’s mine because I want everything she is to be mine because everything of me is hers. She sees me, she sees past the cheap clothes, and the death trap of a bike I ride. She sees the man I want to be, the man I will be, not the boy who has no right attending ts prestigious college filled with rich kids. Who is so broke that some days Ramen is a luxury; who, without his scholarship, would never be able to attend the school that is educating the future politicians and business icons of the world.
“I never want you to feel normal, Aud, not when you’re the most precious, amazing, smart, beautiful person to ever walk this planet.” I lower my head, my lips brushing hers, trying to imbue everything I feel for her into my kiss. Her head tilts and she sighs and I drink it down as her tongue swipes against mine. The heat simmers but it’s the emotion passing between us that leaves me breathless as I break away to stare at her.
“You should feel extraordinary because you’re all those things. You floor me with wonder every time you smile at me. That I could be the lucky bastard who gets to be with you, when I don’t deserve to breathe the same air as you, truly astounds me.”
Tears gild her eyes in silver and my heart seizes. I hate seeing her tears. They slay me and make me want to fight wars for her, just to stop a single one from falling. I love this woman, with my whole heart, and I know we haven’t said it in so many words, but I hope what I just said somehow feels even more special than a simple ‘I love you’.
I’ve only ever said those words to my mother, the woman who raised me alone, who has suffered more in her life than I can ever imagine. She is why I strive to be better, she’s the person who made me who I am, and I never forget that, but Audrey is my hope, my joy, and one day my wife, if I’m a lucky enough bastard.
I dip my head and skim my lips over hers, swiping my tongue over the plump flesh and she sighs as her legs twine around my hips, seeking more. I rest my weight on either side of her head on my forearms, caging her in, and position my cock at her entrance. No words are necessary as our eyes meet, our souls dancing as I slowly thrust into her tight, wet heat.
Her head moves back, arching her neck to me as she moans, her body clenching around my dick as I begin to fuck her slowly. Long, slow thrusts that connect us in every way. My lips pepper her with open-mouthed kisses along her delicate throat as she fists her hands through my hair, her fingernails scraping my scalp. I feel it right the way to my cock, my body trembling with need to come.
“Hudson…”
Her voice is smoky and breathless, a silent caress down my senses. Her legs tighten around me as our movements become wild, and restless, as if we’re barreling toward something we both know will change everything. Nothing has ever felt like this, a pure white-hot pleasure. I shift slightly, lifting up, so I can lift her thigh beneath her knee and pound into her harder, deeper. I want to consume her, and her body begins to shake.
“Are you close?” I’m fighting my climax, my whole body shaking with the need to come, but not before her.
“Yes…I….”
Then her entire body tightens, her pussy milking my dick, rippling and squeezing, her nails tearing down my back as she falls apart. It is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. Her heavy-lidded eyes fall open and she looks at me as if I am the answer to every question the universe has ever asked.
“I love you.”
My climax hits me at the same time her words do, and I feel like I’m having an out-of-body experience as my orgasm pumps through me, spurts of my hot come filling her as I bellow like a king.
With my cock twitching the last jets of my release into her, I sag against her body. I feel drained, turned inside out. I love this woman and I know that tonight just changed everything. For the first time in a long time, I have hope.
Long fingers sift through my hair as I hold her to me, my head resting against her lush breasts, which I didn’t give nearly enough attention to this last time. I pull a tight nipple between my lips, tugging and nipping as her pussy flexes around my softening cock. I let her go with a pop and drop a light kiss on her belly, as I roll off her.
“You, okay?”
I turn my head to look at her and smile, a true happy-to-the-bones-of-my-soul grin. I still have a lot to tell her about my family, and my circumstances but I feel like we have time. I can take her to meet my mom, who’ll love her and, maybe, just maybe, one day I can be good enough for her, although I somehow doubt that.
“I’m better than fine. You make me happy, Audrey, really happy.” I don’t say I love you back, because I don’t want her to think I’m saying it because she did. I want to do something special for her.
“I never knew how happy I could be until I met you, Hudson Carmichael.”
She smiles and turns, swinging her legs over the side of the bed. “I need to get showered before we meet the others. I don’t want to meet my cousin smelling of sex.”
I don’t know her friends well, but they seem like decent people, and Lincoln is her cousin and they’re close.“Want some company?”
She flashes me a sexy smirk. “No way, buster. If you come in here, we won’t get out of here tonight.”
