Sixty-Six…

Sixty-Six: Discretion

Warning: contains heavy sexual innuendos.

“I miss Shadowvale,” Kat groaned.

“I don’t like this house.”

“I know. I miss our old home too.” Aubrey shrugged. “But there’s nothing we can do about it.”

I miss Dad… I even miss Reznik. This sucks.

Deeply inside she feared something aside from never returning home.

Even though Hunter said he loved her, a small part of her wondered if he also still loved her mother.

Was he just using her? To fill an empty spot in his heart? An empty spot, that at one time only her mother could fill?

Later, Kat washed her hands at the kitchen sink.

Hunter sneaked up behind her and tickled her armpit. She jumped, he laughed.

Then his hand migrated to her breast.

“You don’t want to have sex with me, but you want to touch my boob and rub up against my ass,” she said.

“Sorry.” His hand slid away and he left.

“Shit.”

That evening, Kat joined Hunter and Aubrey in the living room.

She glanced at Hunter. He didn’t look too happy.

“I’m sorry I’ve been in a bad mood lately. I’m just a little homesick.”

Suddenly Hunter came alive, his red eyes lit up.

“Aubrey, I have to go to the hospital to get a few supplies,” he said. She nodded.

“Do you want to come with me?” he asked Kat.

“Sure.”

Thump thump thump thump thump.

“We’ll be back in a little bit,” he said.

Aubrey’s lips twitched.

Hunter’s eyes locked with Kat’s. She quickly looked away before her mother could notice.

“Don’t be too long.”

Before heading out, she and Hunter waited for the sun to dip below the landscape.

Several minutes passed. Kat and Hunter climbed a steep hill.

Pausing, she asked him exactly where they were going.

“To the top,” he said. “I want to show you this amazing area I found yesterday.”

She smiled and they continued on.

She looked back, almost feeling dizzy from the height.

“Wow. This is really beautiful,” Kat said.

“Yeah. I told you it was amazing.”

And it reminds me of a dream I once had…

They watched as the sky transitioned from pink to pale blue.

Hunter faced Kat, and scooted close to her until her legs overlapped his.

His hands glided up and down her waistline, his lips brushed hers.

“Why aren’t you wearing the crucifix necklace?” he asked, fingering her throat.

“I feel guilty wearing it anymore, so I took it off.” Dad gave it to me. If he knew I was seeing you, he’d die.

“So what is there to love besides screwing your brains out?” She grinned.

“This,” he said stroking her face.

Hunter returned her smile, then gently lowered her to the ground.

Kat’s heart drummed, her pulse pounding in her ears.

He laid on top of her.

Nearby crickets chirped as Hunter trailed kisses all over her face. Her heart accelerated tenfold.

An owl hooted.

“Kat,” he said beaming. “I thought you were pissed off at me.”

“Sorry.” She chuckled.

Using one finger, he traced the area from her cheek down to her lips.

Then he rose up and took off his shirt.

He ground against her. Then he abruptly stopped and apologized, mumbling something about the ‘animal’ within him.

No worries.

Awkwardly, he ascended as if trying to keep his genitals as far away from hers as possible. Yet he kept kissing her, licking her neck, and running his hands up her waist and right breast.

Hunter moaned, wedged tightly to her body. Soon he was grinding just like before.

She gazed up. The moon and stars clustered around one another.

Down below, something hard pressed against her.

“Smell so good,” he exhaled. Then he moved down…

Farther down, and then back up again.

He made her entire body tingle, grow warm.

“Jesus. How am I going to keep away from you until you’re eighteen…”

He rubbed her left breast, crumpling the fabric of her shirt, plunging the neckline with his fingers.

“Hunter, it feels so good,” she cried, raising her legs upward and wrapping them around his waist.

His movements came at a furious pace, like her heartbeat.

Hunter dipped and kissed her.

Time stood still. Everything was like a dream, none of it seemed real.

At some point he got up, rushed off to a patch of trees and stayed there for a few minutes.

When he returned, his face was flushed.

They scanned the stars in the night sky before heading back home.

Hunter brazenly kissed her only yards away from the house.

Inside, Aubrey waited for them.

“Where have you two been all night?”

“We got side-tracked on the way to the hospital. Sorry,” Hunter said.

“Seriously? You got side-tracked? ALL FUCKING NIGHT?”

Woah. She’s pissed. This isn’t good, Kat thought.

“Yes. All night. We decided to do some sight-seeing, then we got lost on the way to the hospital. Again, I’m sorry.”

“So you didn’t get the supplies you needed?” Aubrey asked.

“No. By the time we got there, it was too late. We had to start heading back before sunrise.”

“Both of you listen to me. If you’re doing something you shouldn’t be doing, it stops right here. Right now.”

“We’re not—” Hunter began.

“I mean it. It stops.” Aubrey glowered at them.

“Ashton is here with your grandson, Hunter. She’s been waiting here for three hours.”

“So you have a nice little visit with your daughter, while you remember to leave my daughter the hell alone.”

“I’ll be watching the two of you. Closely.” She stormed out but then halted. “By the way, I’m switching bedrooms with you, Hunter.”

Aubrey continued into the kitchen.

Kat and Hunter entered the living room, looked at each other.

“Hi Ash.”

Ash glanced at her, then at her father.

“This is Cody,” she said nodding at the toddler. He cooed.

Now Kat knew where Ashton and her nephew moved to. Misty Peaks.
