  “Well, when you put it that way…count me the fuck in!”

  We both started laughing so hard we couldn’t stop. So Ellie thought I should go after Jeff huh? I think I was up for that challenge! Just then the front door opened……. . speak of the devil……it was Jeff.

  He opened the door all the way and stepped outside. “Is everything okay? Why are y’all sitting out here?”

  “Well, we were just talking about how much we were looking forward to heading out to the country with you and Gunner. ” I said as I got up and walked towards Jeff.

  Now it was his turn to be stunned. I walked up to him and leaned in so he had to bend down towards me to hear what I was about to say.

  “I can’t decide if I want to bring my red bikini or my white one? I might just have to bring both. What do you think Jeff?”

  He looked like he was having a really hard time swallowing and if I didn’t know any better I would say that Mr. Big football player was blushing. Oh yes…I liked Ellie’s plan I thought as I let a smile play across my face.

  Game on Jeff………….

  CHAPTER THIRTY TWO

  Gunner……

  Things must be okay with Ari because Ellie and Ari came through the front door giggling like school girls. Jeff was walking behind them and looked at me and just shrugged. I was standing in the kitchen talking to Brad and Amanda. I looked back up and saw Jon walking over to Ari and Ellie. What was that fucker up to? I watched as he put his hand on Ellie’s arm. I immediately saw her tense up.

  I couldn’t tell what they were talking about but Ellie kept shaking her head no but held a polite smile on her face. He then leaned down closer to the side of her face and said something that made her laugh.

  “Dude, are you even listening to me?” Brad said as he pushed my shoulder back. I tore my eyes away from Ellie and Jon and looked at Brad.

  “Oh yeah sorry I was distracted by something. ” I said as I looked back over to towards Ellie. Jon was clearly up to something that fucker.

  “Listen Gunner, you better keep an eye on Jonathon Barker. That fucker is a man whore. Once he sees something he wants he won’t stop at anything until he gets it in his bed. ” Brad said as he stared over at Jon and Ellie.

  “I know all about Jon but thanks for the warning Brad. Looks like he has his eyes on the one thing that he will not be taking to bed so if you will excuse me Amanda, Brad…. I have a girl to save. ” I said as I started to walk over towards Ellie.

  I felt the heat moving up my body the more I watched him try to move closer and closer to her. I noticed Ellie take a step backwards away from Jon. I was already fisting my hands up so I needed to get a grip. When I walked up behind him I heard what he was saying.

  “I really wish you would change your mind my dear and dance with me. I would really love to get to know you better. ”

  Mother fucker…. . in my own fucking house going after my girl, oh hell no. I looked over at Jeff and gave him a nod…. if I lost it he better be fucking ready to pull me the hell off of this prick. Jeff was on his way over and walked up to Ari and whispered something in her ear. Jon didn’t even notice Jeff walk up.

  “Hey sweetheart, are you ready for that dance?” I never took my eyes off of Ellie for one second the entire time I walked over to where they were standing. Ellie had seen me walking over and gave me the smile I would move heaven and earth to see every second of the damn day.

  I slapped Jon on the back…. hard…. . causing his beer to spill a little onto the hard wood floor. He looked pissed but once he saw it was me he relaxed. Fucker better not think I’m harmless because I will break him in two.

  Ellie tried to hide her giggle. “I’m more than ready for that dance!” Ellie said with a smile.

  “Well, hold on a minute my dear…I just asked you to dance and you said no. Now you’re just going to go running off and dance with Gunner? What’s the deal?” Jon said with a laugh. Ari took Ellie by the arm and started to lead her away. Jeff must have told her too when he walked up. Ellie looked confused.

  “It’s okay sweetheart, go on outside with Ari, I’ll be right there. ” I said as I leaned down and kissed her check.

  Once they started to walk away I turned and stood in front of Jon. He was giving me a shit eating grin, fucker.

  “Hey bro, it was all harmless…I just wanted to dance with her that’s all. ” Jon said as he took a sip of his beer.

  “Listen Jon, I put up with your shit because you are friends with Josh and that is the only reason why. I don’t really give two shits who you hit on but if you ever lay a finger on Ellie again or call her anything other than Ellie, I will break both your arms and you will never play baseball again? Do you understand…. . BRO?”

  Jon started to laugh. “Okay sure dude whatever, but in my defense I always thought you were the fuck ‘em and leave ‘em kind of guy. You’ve never kept them around for more than a few dates. ”

  Just then I hear a gasp and looked up. Ellie was still standing there and Ari was trying to get her to go outside. She had a look of horror on her face. FUCK! This fucking prick…. I was going to kill him.

  I was ready to punch the fuck out of him and Jeff must have sensed it.

  “Whoa…hey dude…. You’re one to talk. I think you need to either knock it the fuck off or leave our house. You don’t talk like that to my best friend and you sure as shit don’t talk like that with my sister right here you got it?” Jeff said as he stepped in between Jon and me. Jon gave me a fucking grin again.

  “Sure you’re right…. sorry Gunner man, didn’t mean to get you all upset. Put those Guns away dude. I will stay clear of her for as long as she’s your girl. ”

  “You’re goddamn right you will!” I practically shouted.

  “Gun, man just cool off…. . you need to go talk to Ellie. Ari got her to go outside. ”

  I gave that prick one more look and started to walk off. I hit his shoulder as hard as I could as I walked by.

  Fucking great…now what was Ellie going to think about me after this prick pretty much just painted me out to be no better than him.

  When I walked outside Ellie, Ari and Heather were talking and laughing. Maybe everything was okay. She wouldn’t believe that asshole would she? I mean, I’m not saying I haven’t sleep with my share of girls but fuck…. it’s not like I was a man whore. Fuck I think Jeff has hooked up a hell of a lot more than I have.

  Just then the music changed to an oldie but goodie. Christina Aquilera’s “Dirrty” started playing and I smiled and made my way over to Ellie.

  She smiled at me as soon as she saw me walking up to her. Fuck it just about brought me to my knees. I leaned down and asked against her ear. “Please tell me you don’t believe him. I’m not like that I promise you. ”

  Next thing I knew Ellie’s smiled turned to a very sexy grin. She started dancing…. and I mean she was dancing. I did the only thing I could think of…. I grabbed her and pulled her closer to me. She started to move her hips as she looked up at me with those beautiful blue eyes.

  FUCK ME…. I had no idea this girl could dance like this. She turned around in my arms and started grinding against me and I thought I was going to fucking explode. She reached up and put her hand behind my neck as she looked back at me with the most seductive look I had ever seen in my life. I moved my hands up and down her body and never in my life did I feel my dick this fucking hard. Holy shit this girl had the power to just blow me over. My whole body felt like it was on fire from her body being so close to mine.

  She closed her eyes as she moved her ass as close to my dick as she could get. I didn’t give a flying fuck that I was so hard. I’m not sure how long we danced like that before she finally turned around and faced me. I silently was hoping to God that Jeff was still in the house not seeing this right now. I’m pretty sure my face was giving away the fact that I wanted this girl more than my next breath. Next thing I knew Ellie had her arms around
me and was moving against me like nothing I had ever experienced. Fuck I hope she never danced with Ryan this way. The way she was dancing…… it looked so fucking hot…her hands were moving up and down her body and then she put her hands on my chest and started to move………

  I had to stop. Holy fuck…. I had to stop before I did something I was going to regret. I began to push Ellie a little bit away from me. I needed to break this contact right now. Just then the music changed.

  Oh thank the fuck…. . I stood there as I ran my hands through my hair.

  “Holy fuck Ellie, I think I need a beer and I know I need to sit down. ” Ellie let out a laugh and reached up to kiss me. Her lips where so soft and it was one of the most tender kisses I have ever received.

  She smiled against my lips.

  “That was to make sure you remembered that only you have bewitched me Mr. Mathews. ”

  Right at that moment it hit me and it hit me harder than I would have ever expected it to.

  I loved Ellie.

  I loved her more than I loved anything in this world. She would forever be my whole life.

  CHAPTER THIRTY THREE

  Ellie…. .

  I stood there as Gunner looked at me…. no…. he was staring at me like he was trying to crawl into my soul. Then, slowly that damn crooked smile of his spread across his face. My heart started to pound. There was something so different about the way he was looking at me. I felt kind of bad because I know I just turned him on big time by dancing with him like that. Ari had requested that song and it was perfect timing for it to start because Gunner had just walked out. He looked angry when he first came out and I knew I had to set his mind at ease.

  When I first heard Jon say that about Gunner sleeping around I started to panic and felt a little sick to my stomach. Ari pulled me outside and she and Heather set me straight. I knew Gunner had been with girls before me. Jefferson had already told me Gunner never had a real serious relationship and dated maybe four or five girls off and on the whole time he knew him. I didn’t for one moment think he slept around.

  I looked over at Ari who gave me the thumbs up along with a smile. Okay…I was not the only one who noticed Gunner’s moment of not being able to move.

  “So, do you want to go get that beer and have a seat?” I asked trying to yell over the music that was now playing again.

  Gunner just kept looking at me. “Gunner? Hello???”

  Ari walked up and leaned into me and shouted in my ear. “I guess all the fucking blood left his brain and went to his dick!”

  I couldn’t even say anything to that. All I could do was laugh because I think she was right!

  “GUNNER!” I shouted.

  “Yep…. okay…. yeah…. um…. let’s get a beer and sit down. I need to fucking sit down. ” Gunner said as he started to walk over to where Jefferson was sitting and talking to some girl who had her back faced towards me.

  When we walked up Gunner reached into the cooler and grabbed two beers. He handed one to me as he sat down. He reached up and grabbed my waist and pulled me down onto his lap. I guess this will be his new favorite way to sit with me. I let out a giggle because it sure as shit was my new favorite way!
