Vicky laughed. “I think if they didn’t know, one look at them right then with the silly waves, and they pretty well gave everything away.”
“Hmmm, I sort of thought the same thing.”
“Yeah, babe, the wave kind of did it.”
“And here I thought everyone was in the dark.” She clutched Vicky’s hand and they giggled as they walked toward the ‘waiting hall’. A few boys whistled, and Peyton couldn’t help but flirt a little, just to keep the men watching her on the end of their seats.
“Poor Kane will collect a hit list a mile long if you don’t stop the flirting.”
“I know. I like to keep him on his toes, you know?”
“Yeah, but he’s going to spank your ass if you don’t stop wiggling it around all these guys,” Vicky smacked her butt. She caught more of the graduation gown than she did her bottom.
They lined up in the hallway, and Vicky’s tone turned serious. “I’m glad your bruises are gone. I’d hate for your graduation pictures to have those shiners showing more than your true beauty.”
“Vicky, you know you don’t have to brag on me all the time.”
“Yes, I do. You’re my best friend. And I mean it. If I tell you something, you can always take it to the bank, Peyton.”
“Oh serious,” Peyton made light of the situation.
“This is serious.”
“Graduation?”
“No, what I need to say to you.”
“Uh-oh.”
“Peyton, I think Kane is going to eventually propose to you and…” Her smile widened and she took a deep breath before she continued, “Well, I don’t know what your exact arrangement is with them, of course, but I just want to tell you something. It’s about the day you were abducted.”
“I don’t want to think about that right now, Vicky.”
“Just hear me out, Peyton. I want you to know they were all worried but Kane…something changed in him by the minute, Peyton. He’s deeply in love with you, Peyton. They may all love you but Kane would cease to exist without you. I guess you know this though.”
Peyton looked into the audience as the double doors opened, and the graduation march began. Kane jumped to his feet and his smile lit up the gym. Yeah, she knew Kane Cartwell loved her. When Evan and Braden stood too, she saw the full circle of love, the kind of love many waited to find and the kind of love that would last for a thousand lifetimes.
“You didn’t have to do this, you know.” Peyton stood in Braden’s room with her hands on her hips. “This goes a little beyond your typical graduation party, you know.”
“If you think this is great, wait until you see what he’s planned for later.” Evan came in and slid a kiss on her cheek. “Hurry up, Braden. There are some parents here, and they want to see the adult in charge. I’m not dealing with them.”
Braden patted Peyton’s behind on his way out. “Told you I didn’t want anyone under eighteen here. What happened to following the rule?”
She shrugged. “Everyone wanted to come to this graduation party. I can’t imagine why.” She shot Evan a wink before she started for her room. “I’ll be ready in a few minutes. Right now I have to find something appropriate to wear.”
“Hurry,” Evan said, “I don’t want you to keep your guests waiting. This is your party, you know.”
“I know, Evan. I know!” Before she made it to her room, he grabbed her around the waist.
“Don’t I get something for the efforts here? You know I did have a little something to do with getting the place spiffed up for your friends.”
Peyton gnawed on the inside of her cheek and hit him in the stomach with the back of her hand. “What you want, big boy, I can’t give you until after the party.”
“Sure you can.” He yanked her into the spare bedroom and slammed her against the back of the door as soon as it closed behind them. His lips crashed against hers as he pressed his body into hers.
“You’re as naughty as I am right now, Peyton. Admit it.” Evan nibbled at her lips
“Considering about two hundred of my closest friends are waiting for me downstairs, this…” she popped him a kiss and patted down the front of his pants, “is going to have to wait.”
“The hell it is.” He gripped her side and moved his body into hers creating the illusion of one erotic sex act. The kind of pleasure to keep a woman panting for more, and Peyton ready to drop to her knees, only she didn’t. She grabbed the knob behind her, kissed more teeth then than lips, and barely made her escape.
“Damn it!”
She giggled as she listened to Evan’s moaning but let his displeasure ring out from behind the door. She didn’t pause or turn back to make things right. Party guests waited.
She nudged her door open and slid into her room for a few minutes of alone time. She didn’t forget to lock it back because Evan’s persistence lately bordered with truly irritating. And a little sexy too, if she wanted to think about his charming appeal.
Humming, she walked over to the closet and flipped the light on. She started to thumb through her dresses and glanced down at the shoes sticking out from the bottom of the closet.
“Hmmm…big feet, polished shoes, I wonder who I might find in here.” She waved her hands to the left and the right, and Kane pulled her in between the mountain of clothes on either side.
His quick movements and the feel of his hot fingers working over the nape of her neck ensured she wouldn’t leave him without a good romp. Peyton loved all of the Cartwells but if there was one advantage Kane had-it was his ability to control her with a simple touch, a hot kiss or roaming hands guaranteed to make her wet.
“I have company,” she breathed against his neck as his hands slid down her hips and rotated them forward and against the ridge of his wide erection.
“I have a serious problem with your guests,” he said.
“Oh do you now?” she said as she grabbed the metal rod running across the length of her closet. She planted her feet on either side of Kane’s torso.
“You know it.” He snapped the thong she had under her short skirt and bit his lower lips as he fingered her. “I have a problem with the guys here. Some of them look at you like they want to do exactly what I’m doing to you right now.”
She gripped the pole harder and allowed her body to swing forward and back into his palm. “You don’t say.”
He added another finger and twisted his hand as he fucked her with his long fingers. “Tonight, if I see any of those guys snooping around you, I aim to tell them you’re mine.”
“I bet that’s what you’ll do,” she said as she moaned.
“Damn, Peyton. You’re so wet, baby, I’m going to have to fuck you.”
She started to bring her legs down. He held her ass with one hand and brought her hips forward. Before she protested, and she might have considered it for the simple fact she turned Evan down earlier, he plunged harder with his fingers. He took her to the brink before he unzipped his pants, and allowed his cock to spring free. He immediately pressed it right into her vagina.
“Good Lord, Kane!”
“Now, I’m happy, baby. Knowing I can fuck you while all those boys down there are waiting on you. Hmmm…” His thighs bunched, and he stroked her deep.
She clutched to the bar where all the hangers lined up with her clothes. Using it to leverage her weight against his, she moved back and forth with his cock. Kane buried his head against her chest and moaned out with pleasure.
“Kane, I can’t hold back.”
“Come for me, Peyton. That’s it, baby. I gotta have you. I’m going to take you all night long.” He bent down and rose up, his cock tearing into her pussy and staking a full claim by going deep.
He locked her legs around his back and began to fuck her as hard as he could fuck. Harder and harder, he moved into her. “That’s it, baby. Come for me. Come hard for me. Get me going, baby. Good God, Peyton!”
She wiggled around the bar and moved with him, swinging her body forward and low before swaying back and moving high. “Don’t stop! Can’t stop! Don’t! Oh Kane!” She screamed her release, and he didn’t try to hush her. He only watched her until she fell from the bars into his awaiting arms.
