The Hook-up

Chapter 174

"Mine works." he said smiling at her not kissing her, just looking into her eyes. "You're amazing, Lauren...." he said moving his hand to her cheek to wipe off a bit of the make-up that had ended up on her cheek. He could feel her cheeks redden starting to bush. "Aww. You're cute too." he said leaning into kiss her lightly. "I love you." he said near her lips. She wrapped her legs around his waist trying to guide him to the bedroom. He responded to her movement reaching for her waist to take her into the bedroom.

"You've been working out...." she commented when he picked her up.

"Only for like 22 hours a day...." he said with a smirk in his voice carrying her carefully to the bedroom. "Now what?" he asked sitting her on the bed with her feet dangling near the floor. She looked at him biting her lip reaching up to take off the t-shirt throwing it on the side of the bed revealing a bright pink bra that he hadn't seen since her first trimester. "I remember that..." he said with a smile leaning down to kiss her carefully. As he kissed her he leaned further down on top of her to force her on the bed. He laid carefully on top of her moving down to her shorts taking them off with his fingers revealing a matching pair of silk boy shorts. "Damn, babe...You know exactly what turns me on..." he looked up at her smiling.

"Take off your clothes..." she demanded looking at him still dressed. She gave him a once over looking at his pants. "Don't be such a tease, Bruno." she said seductively seeing him take off his clothes throwing them exactly where she had put hers. "Shouldn't it be the other way around since it's your birthday?" she asked suddenly remembering it was his birthday.

"No. I want to give it to you..." he said laying his head on her forehead.

"Well then give it to me...." she whispered to him. As she finished her statement he replayed one of the songs that he recorded early on. I know exactly what to do with it now...He thought to himself kissing her hard and passionately pushing her onto the bed. He left a trail of kisses down her chest to her bra. He looked up at her with a childish smile lifting his hand up to slid her bra off her shoulders. She leaned forward a bit to unhook her bra letting out a sigh of satisfaction as he kissed her chest. For some reason this was so much more perfect than the last time they were together. It meant something. She could feel the difference in the way he touched her. She could feel the care he was taking to make things right. And instead of letting out a scream or telling him exactly what she was feeling she looked down at his hair running her fingers through it feeling the closeness that she hadn't felt between them since they had been in Hawaii. "Oh Bruno...it's so perfect." she finally let out breathlessly. "It's so perfect...." she repeated feeling him move back up to her lips kissing her gently, but carefully enough to keep the moment that they had.

"How's that?" he asked her moving himself inside her at the same time he threw her legs onto his shoulders.

"That's good too...." she let out feeling herself trying not to cry, suddenly feeling jealous and upset that he had been with Damaris just a week and a half ago.

"Lauren...I'm not hurting you am I? I'm not doing anything that I haven't before...." he said wiping away the tear that had unknowingly fallen down her cheek. She shook her head frantically trying to get the thoughts out of her head.

?""No. No....just keep going...it's good...." she said not faking the way she had before. He could tell it was okay, but he also could tel that there was something that was distracting her from the mutual satisfaction that they shared. He slowed down, staying right on top of her. He kissed her nose, feeling that it was cold from the crisp Los Angeles air that had filled the house.

"Tell me, baby...please..." he said carefully laying on her. "Please..." he whispered.

"It's nothing. Nothing, Bruno. I promise...." she told him. "Just keep going...it's good."

"I know it is...but you're thinking about something else....I can tell..." he said moving over to the side of the bed to look at her.

"Should I still be worried about her?" Lauren asked moving away from her.

He sighed rolling onto his back. "We went the whole damn night, Lauren." he responded looking up at the ceiling avoided eye contact.

"You really don't think that I would forget about it? Answer my damn question." she said in the same demanding tone. He knew he wasn't going to get what he wanted if he said that he was unsure, even if he was. I don't know. He thought to himself.

"No, Lauren. Never again, baby...Never." he said in the same sweet tone he had used when she showed up at the house earlier in the evening. After finishing the statement he moved back on top of her. "Come on, Laur...at least smile..." he said leaning down to kiss her. "I mean, I'm not that bad in bed...." he said feeling her move over to the side a bit. He watched her eyes close and her head lean back onto the pillow. Forget about it. Just put it away. She thought to herself giving the signal that it was okay to finish what they had started. He threw her legs back up to where they were seeing exactly what he wanted, her mouth open and a scream of satisfaction leaving her lips. He watched her as she let out everything that she had held back throughout the last week and a half. Without even knowing it she let out all the anger that had built up. As she got angrier at him her nails dug further into his back and her teeth bit further into his neck. She got lost in the moment not knowing exactly what was going to happen, but happy with how close they were. He leaned into her biting onto her ear trying to forget the digging pain that he felt from her nails. Wow. She's still so pissed. He thought to himself slowing down to change the intensity of the moment. "I'm sorry, Elle. Never again..." he whispered. "I only want you...only you..." he repeated feeling her body tense in anticipation of the end . "I only want youuuuuu....youuuu.ouuuuu..." he sang to her throwing her over the edge with his voice.

"Oh god. Oh god, oh god...." she let go of his back digging her hands into the sheets to keep herself from shaking. "Don't stop...don't stop...don't...." she pleaded. "Ohhhh....Brunnnnnoooooo." she finally let out reaching for him lightly after climaxing at the same time she looked up at him seeing the same emotions that she had let out on his face. She moved forward just enough to kiss him putting him in the same place she just was. He moved his hands over her head leaning down to kiss her the same way that he had earlier, deeply, passionately, but carefully as he came inside her. Shit. Is she on the pill? He thought as his head hit hers. Shit. Shit. Shit.

"I took my pill this morning. It's okay." she told him running her fingers through the bottom on his hair.

"Oh thank god." he let out with a sigh of relief moving his hands around her waist to hold her tightly. He kissed her neck burying his head in her hair smelling a combination of baby, smoke, alcohol and her perfume. It was a smell he missed smelling. Damaris had a smell of pricey perfume and hairspray that just wasn't right. Lauren was so organic, so natural, so normal. It was right. It was so right that he knew that he was going to cry if he didn't get up. He moved his arms from her to get away as fast as he could.

"No. Don't leave...." she said grabbing his hand not looking back at him. He fell onto the bed not realizing how much power she had when she wanted something. "Please, don't..." she pleaded with a soft voice that he recognized after she got upset and angry and wanted to apologize. She turned around facing him. She saw her tears in his eyes. She could feel that they were both still upset about what had happened.

"I'm not going to leave, Lauren..." he said seeing her eyes well up with tears. "Oh, Lauren, come on..." he tried to get out a laugh. "Stop..."

"It was just right. And I haven't felt that in a long time..." she told him.

"I know." he answered with a smile feeling her fingertip against his cheek. Her hand landed on his cheek carefully staying there. He moved his arms around her pulling up the blanket that they had thrown off earlier. He felt her body fall into is chest the same way it did when she got tired. "I love you."
