In Your Time

Chapter 18

Ten minutes later, Elizabeth was coming into the principal's office looking worried. She came straight to me and looked me over simile to how Braden did. She lifted my shirt and checked my back and stomach quickly.

"What happened? Did you crack a rib again? Are you hurt? Where does it hurt? I'll call George. No, he's at work. I'll take you to the hospital," she fussed over me.

"Mom, I'm fine. I was just having a hard time breathing for a moment," I explained quickly.

"She really did crack a rib?" Mrs. Meyers asked Elizabeth. Elizabeth's attention turned to our principal as her face hardened slightly.

"Of course she did! You think my kids would make up something that serious? She was hospitalized because of it," Elizabeth explained.

"I'm sorry for doubting them, but in my defense, I found them in a popular make out corner with Phoenix's shirt up," Mrs. Meyers defended herself.

"Because that's where her ribs are located. I understand you run a school full of horny teenagers, but Phoenix lives with us. If they wanted to do something that promiscuous, they could do it at home. It's not like they have to hide. They actually have my full support. I hope they're secretly making out in their room," Elizabeth ranted.

"Mom!" Braden protested. Elizabeth rolled her eyes before turning to Braden.

"I know you do. I've just been pretending like I didn't know because I knew you would get defensive," Elizabeth explained quickly. I did giggle at that.

"Well.. if Phoenix really isn't feeling well. You can take her home for today," Mrs. Meyers said flustered. We walked out of the school in silence. When we got to the parking lot, Braden finally broke the silence.

"How did you know?" He finally asked.

"It's been written all over your face for a while now, kid. You like Phoenix, and I fully support you guys. Just... use protection," she smirked at him as we reached her car.

"Mom!"

"I still have some errands to run. I trust you'll take Phoenix back safely and take care of her. Bye bye," Elizabeth smiled innocently before leaving. Braden sighed as he scratched the back of his head awkwardly. I, however, couldn't keep the giant, amused smile off of my face. I was the first to grab Braden's hand this time.

"Alright, don't think too much about it. Take me home," I said before dragging him to his car. He drove us home before following me into my room.

"You don't seem shocked that she found us out," he noted after a while. I shrugged.

"She told me she knew in Palm Springs. She said she was pretending because you tried so hard to pretend like you didn't care and she didn't want to embarrass you," I admitted. He sat on my bed before pulling me into his lap.

"There's something else I want to know. Just how much time you actually spent with that Torin guy over the weekend? You two act like childhood friends," he pouted. It finally clicked in my head as I smirked and wrapped my arms around Braden's neck.

"You're jealous," I realized. He blushed as he looked away from me and scoffed.

"I'm not jealous," he denied quickly. I chuckled before I placed a kiss on his cheek.

"You literally know everything about me. I'm risking everything to be with you. Torin is a friend, you have nothing to worry about. If anything, he's not nearly as aggressive as Tara. Plus, I don't think he likes me that way," I explained.

"I told you, I'm done with Tara," he said quickly.

"That doesn't change the fact that you have history with her. I can't help but to be wary of her. Who knows what truck she'll pull next," I argued.

"She's been quiet lately," he reminded me.

"That's what worries me," I sighed. Braden popped his leg, catching my attention.

"Alright, alright, I see your point. I'll try not to get jealous," he agreed. I chuckled.

"It's actually kind of cute. I didn't realize you cared that much," I admitted. Braden put me on my back quickly as he hovered over me.

"Phoenix... have you still not realized how much I love you?" He asked quietly. My breath caught in my throat as I got stuck in his icy colored eyes.

Love?

"Braden," I said softly before my words were cut off by his lips. He kissed me hungrily as my arms wrapped around his neck and pulled him closer. My whole body felt flush with fever as my lust increased. His lips left mine to attach to my neck. I let out a breath as his arm wrapped around my waist. A throbbing began between my legs. I wanted him.

"Braden, I love you," I breathed. He stopped and pulled up slightly to give me a gentle smile before his lips came back to mine. I couldn't take it anymore. I pulled his shirt up. He got the hint and took it off completely before working on the buttons of my shirt as he continued to kiss me. I took it off and tossed it to the floor as Braden's lips came to the top of my chest. Braden's hand traveled up my thigh before he palmed me over my underwear. My plaid skirt suddenly felt flimsy and unnecessary. He pushed my underwear aside before inserting a finger into me. I moaned as my back arched slightly. He propped himself up beside me as he continued pushing his finger in and pulling it out. After a moment, he added another finger as he peppered kisses over my face and neck. I was so close, and all it took was his fingers. My hand gripped his arm as I felt the pressure build.

"Braden, I'm..." I couldn't even finish my sentence as I came completely undone. I moaned as my orgasm washed over me. Braden removed his fingers before licking them clean. It was like a switch flipped in him. Braden was suddenly a hungry beast. He repositioned himself before sliding my underwear off completely. I reached down and started undoing his belt. I pushed his pants off before he went back to kissing me heatedly. When my mouth parted, he took advantage of it and let his tongue roam my mouth. He was shaking with restraint as he rubbed his member against my opening slowly. I couldn't take it anymore. I grabbed his shaft and pulled him inside of me. I highly underestimated his size. I gasped as he stretched me open.

"Fuck," he breathed as he propped himself up on shaky arms. He slid deeper into me slowly as I gripped his arms. My nails dig into his skin as he pulled out before sliding back in. He nestled his head in the crook of my neck as my legs spread wider on their own accord, giving him better access. He was going slow.

"Braden, please," I moaned. I wasn't exactly sure what I was asking for, but Braden seemed to know. He picked up his pace as he loosened the reins on his control. With every thrust, I was getting close again. I sing my nails into Braden's back and he groaned before picking up the pace again. After a moment, he sat up and grabbed my ankles as he pushed them apart. He drove his hips into me as my orgasm hit me unexpectedly. My hands gripped the bedsheets as I moaned and my legs shook. Braden gave a few good deep thrusts before crying out and collapsing on top of me. We were both panting as we laid there with Braden still inside me. He sat up slightly and kissed my head before he pulled out and laid next to me, bringing the covers over us both. He pulled me closer to him as he sighed and closed his eyes.

"Braden..." I started before he shushed me.

"We can talk tomorrow, hmm? I just want to hold you for now," he stopped me. I nodded before letting my own eyes close. We could talk tomorrow.
