Megan Smith - Hard To Love You

When she did I climbed off myself and then helped her with her helmet. “Why am I not surprised that we wound up here?”

I laughed. She shouldn’t be surprised at all. “Where else would I take you?”

She shrugged her shoulders and walked towards the field, I followed behind her. As she walked her hips swayed back and forth. Shit! I can’t think like this.

“Mason!” Hailey yelled.

“What?”

“I can feel you staring at me you know.” She said with an amused tone in her voice.

“I can’t help it.” I laughed.

She stopped walking and waited for me to catch up. Lucky the lights for the field were still on, I’m sure a game had wrapped up not too long ago. The smell of the dirt made me feel at home.

“So how’s college going?” She asked as she took a seat in the dugout.

I took a seat next to her. “It’s going, there is always practice, a game, school work and parties to go to so there is something going on all the time.”

“Girls?” Hailey said as she looked out over the field, avoiding my face.

“Lots.” And that was all I was willing to tell her. I’m sure she could figure out for herself. She knew how the girls were in high school.

“That’s what I figured.” She said with a nervous laugh.

“They don’t mean anything, Hailey. I don’t have time for any of them.” And that was the truth. I didn’t have time and I didn’t want them to interfere with my schedule.

“I miss you, Mase.” Hailey said softly.

I reached over and grabbed her hand that was resting on the bench. “I miss you too, Boo.” She looked over and smiled at me. “Come here.”

She stood up and I pulled her into me, so she was straddling my legs. I pulled her closer and rested my head against her chest while she ran her fingers through my hair. I sighed; I loved it when she did that.

She put her tiny hands on either side of my face and tilted my head up. “Kiss me, Mase.” She didn’t ask, she told me.

I crashed my lips to hers. Everything with Hailey was so strong, so hot. When she would get pissed off at me she would be cold as ice. I loved that she told me what she wanted, what she felt.

Hailey moaned into my mouth. Then all of a sudden it was pitch black. The overhead lights had been turned off.

Hailey pulled away and started laughing. “I guess someone wants us to leave.” She said as she climbed off my lap.

As she turned around to walk away I caught her hips and drew her back into my lap. “Where are you going?”

I felt her start to shake. “I thought we were leaving.” She whispered.

“We will in a few minutes.” I whispered into her ear. Then I took her ear lobe into my mouth and bit down gently.

She shivered.

I held her close to me for a little while, enjoying her being in my arms, kissing her neck, but I knew I had to get her back. MacKenzie and Mom would send out a search party soon, plus she had her friends waiting for her. “I guess I should get you back huh?”

Hailey shook her head, “No, we can stay here a little while longer.”

I laughed and gently pushed her up so I could stand. I grabbed her hand and helped her find our way back to my bike. I grabbed the helmets, handed one to her while I climbed on. I was about to put my helmet on when I looked over at Hailey who was just standing there staring at the bike.

“What’s wrong?”

She gazed at me for a second before looking at the bike and then to me again. “Can I try something?”

I eyed her suspiciously, “Uh, yeah I guess so.”

She walked over like she was going to slide on but she was standing the wrong direction when she lifted her leg and slid onto the bike facing me. Her legs wrapped around my hips. Her heat encased me again and I got the smell of her arousal. Her chest pressed up against mine and we were now face to face. Hailey kept wiggling, trying to get situated and every time she did my dick twitched. I was becoming more and more uncomfortable as my dick pressed up against my zipper.

I grabbed her hips, “Hails, stop moving.” I said with a nervous chuckle.

She smiled. She knew exactly what she was doing. Hailey leaned forward and started kissing my neck and then slid her hands up under my shirt.

“Hailey,” I moaned as she raked her nails down my chest to the waistband of my jeans.

“Hmm.” She shifted her hips again. “I want you, Mason.”

It was like a cold bucket of water was thrown on me. I wasn’t expecting that from her. “Hailey, you don’t mean that.”

She stopped kissing me and looked me right in the eyes. “I do, Mason. I’m ready, more than ready and I want it to be with you.”

I knew I had to tread lightly about this with her. Her dad had done a number on her and I knew if I pushed her away the wrong way it would end badly.

“Not like this Hailey. You deserve better than me taking you here on my bike in the school parking lot.” I said as I kissed her lips.

She didn’t kiss me back. I brought her body closer to mine. “I’m not saying no, Hailey, just not like this. That’s all.”

“Fine.” Hailey tried to slide off but I stopped her. I knew what that fine meant. She was pissed off and wanted me to be left alone.

“Hailey,” I said with a warning. “I’ll do it but you’ll regret it tomorrow. You forget I know you Hailey. You’re hard on the outside but soft on the inside.”

This time when she tried to slide off the bike I let her. She put the helmet on, and then climbed on behind me. She wrapped her arms around me but a little too gently for my liking. I grabbed her hands and pulled her closer to my back. “Hold on tight, Hailey. I’m not fucking around.” I meant it as rough as it came out. Hailey needed it that way sometimes to get it through her thick head.

She sighed loudly and then interlocked her fingers around my stomach.

“I’m stopping at Wawa before we go home.” I told her before I started the bike.

By the time we pulled up to Wawa a few minutes later she still hadn’t relaxed. Her body wasn’t as tense as had been though.

“You want anything?” I asked as we climbed off the bike.

Hailey raised her eyebrows at me. “Besides that.” I laughed.

She took a step closer to me so we were practically chest to chest. “Well since I can’t have your,” she looked down between us and then back up to me, “I want chocolate milk.”

I laughed and threw my arms around her and we walked into Wawa and I bought her the drink.

“Mason,” Mark, another pitcher, called my name. “Where’d you go?”

I shook my head, “Sorry, I spaced out.”

When I look around the stands they are mostly empty. The game had ended and we won five to two. I find Cooper in the locker room with a towel wrapped around his waist.

“Hurry up dude I’ve got somewhere I need to be.” I say to him.

“Just take off. Jaylinn is picking me up.” Cooper says as he reaches for a shirt in his locker.

I want to talk to him about Lily with the wedding being over but now I’m not going to get a chance. I don’t want family business discussed in the club house so I make myself a promise that I will talk to him as soon as I come home tonight. If I were lucky I wouldn’t be coming home until tomorrow night though.

An hour later I pulled up in front of Hunter and MacKenzie’s house. Here goes nothing.

There is a knock at the door and it couldn’t have come at a better time. I called Jaylinn earlier to see if she could stop by and keep me company. Ryder isn’t any fun since all he really wants to do is sleep today. Poor little guy is so exhausted from all yesterday’s excitement.

When I open the front door I am surprised to see Mason. “Uh … hey … what are you doing here?”

Mason doesn’t answer; he pushes the door open and walks in.

“Mason?”

“What?” he asks as he makes himself comfortable in the living room.

“You didn’t answer me.” I say as I walk around the sofa.

“You wouldn’t like my answer.” He states. I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t.

I roll my eyes and Ryder lets out a cry. I turn off the monitor that is sitting on the end table and walk upstairs to get him. When I go into his room he has rolled on his stomach and is still crying. I reach down and cradle him in my arms trying to settle him down. “Oh Ryder, it’s ok monkey, Mommy and Daddy will be home in a few days.” I say as I pat his bottom and pace back and forth.

“Can I try?” Mason asks me as he sneaks up behind me.

I stare at him in disbelief. He normally doesn’t do well with a crying Ryder. Mason gets all freaked out cause he thinks he’s doing something wrong.

He holds his strong arms out. “Let me see him.”

Ryder starts to reach for him. “Come here buddy, Uncle Mason will figure out what’s going on with you.” As soon as Ryder settles into Mason’s arms his cries quiet to a soft whimper. Nice. I used to have that touch with Ryder.

“Where’s his blanket, Hails?” Mason asks as he shushes Ryder, rocking him in his arms.

I go over to the diaper bag that I still haven’t unpacked yet and pull Ryder’s soft, baby blue blanket out of his bag and hand it to him. “Here you go.” As I hand it over a little piece of paper falls to the ground. I reach down and pick it up.
