Unexpected
Chapter 13
"What do you reckon is taking them so long?" Ashley worried, glancing over the lake as she stood in the garden of the lakehouse. Her arms crossed when she didn't spot a jet ski, Hanna, or Caleb.
"William and the boys have been back a good 30 minutes now." She added.
"Probably taking full advantage of having some unsupervised time to themselves." Claudia suggested and pulled a bottle of wine from the outdoor fridge for dinner. She was expecting the pair to be back by dinner at least. As far as she knew, Caleb's hunger always steered him straight back home, no matter what he was doing.
"Pour me a large one if you're going to talk like that Claudia." Ashley retorted and walked back to the table to grab some glasses for Claudia to fill.
"Hold on tight to those glasses Ashley, if I am not mistaken the lost children have returned." Claudia whispered looking over her shoulder towards the lake. Ashley turned around to follow her gaze and recognised the unmistakable features of her daughter. They sat at the table together sipping their wine, watching their children get closer to the house until they were close enough to greet them.
"Why are you so wet?" Claudia asked when she was close enough to hug Caleb as soon as he disembarked the jet ski.
"Thought you went jet skiing, not swimming." Claudia stated as she embraced Caleb nonetheless.
"We took a dive to cool off." He mumbled without looking at her. He tried his best not to meet Hannas gaze as he said it, who's cheeks had tinted a shade of pink.
"How was it?" Ashley inquired, walking back to the table. She turned around to look at her daughter when she failed to answer her.
"What's wrong?" She asked when she noticed Hannas worried expression.
"Where's Aubrey?" Looking around the garden.
Ashley sighed; "She's upstairs, sleeping. I put her down for a nap an hour ago."
The words had hardly left her mouth and Hanna was walking off, striding into the house with Caleb following close behind.
"So happy to hear you had a great time and all that!" Ashley called at their backs, but the words seemed to fall on deaf ears.
Hanna skipped a few steps making her way up the winding staircase. Yearning to see her daughter again. She hated being apart from Aubrey.
Both her and Caleb were silent when they walked to the end of the landing towards his room where Aubrey was sleeping. Caleb stepped in front of Hanna to open the door for her. He quickly followed Hanna into the dimly lit room.
He heard Hanna sigh and joined her at the edge of Aubrey's crib. He looked at Hanna for a short moment and smiled to himself. It was hard to see properly in the semi dark room, so he reached over to the night light to brighten the room a little more without waking up Aubrey. He loved the way Hanna was staring down at their daughter with so much adoration and love.
After a brief moment, he managed to tear his eyes away from Hanna to look down at his precious little girl. Her blonde hair curled due to the humid air in the room, the little plump arms on the side of her face, one fat fist holding tight onto her bunny.
He reached down and ran his hand softly over her tummy whilst he wrapped the other one around Hanna to pull her into his side. Absentmindedly, he pressed a kiss to the side of her head as she relaxed against him.
"Sometimes I can't believe we created something so perfect." Hanna sighed and looked up at Caleb who was staring at her.
"That's all her mommy's doing." He murmured, moving closer to Hanna who turned her body towards his so she could look at him. Caleb wrapped one hand tight around her waist, the other one tucking her hair behind her ear. He looked at her, tracing his thumb over her cheeks, lowering it to her mouth. His eyes following his movements.
He bit his lip as he moved closer, brushing his lips over hers and cupping her face to pull her into him. She smiled into the kiss which allowed him to slide his tongue against hers. Hanna stood on her toes, hands disappearing in his long hair to deepen the kiss. She moaned into his mouth as his hands ran over the damp material of her bikini top, tracing her nipples with his thumb over the material.
"We should get you out of these wet clothes." He whispered against her lips, running his hands over her back to undo her top but Hanna stepped back, breathing heavily due to the short but intense kiss.
"Not here, the door is open and I'm sure one of the mom's will come and check on us soon enough." She breathed.
"I forgot about them." He smiled shyly. "I should change as well, meet you downstairs?" He asked and kissed her quickly before she stepped across the landing to disappear to the room she shared with her mother.

"Just in time for dinner!" Claudia greeted Hanna who walked into the kitchen. "Where's Caleb?"
"I think he's getting changed."
"Well, come and join us in the garden Hanna, I think your mother missed you these few hours."
They both grinned as they joined Ashley and William at the table.
"Where are the boys?" William asked looking around the garden.
Claudia raised her eyebrows at her husband. "Caleb is changing so he should be here any minute. But I thought the kids were with you?"
"I'm sure they went inside to play in their room, I'll check." William stood up to walk back towards the house but before he could walk up the staircase Caleb came downstairs with Aubrey in his arms.
"Hey Caleb, have you seen James and Clay? Your mom said they were upstairs."
"I've only been in my room." He smiled at his stepfather, who was tickling Aubrey's tummy whilst making baby noises that sounded unfamiliar from Williams mouth.
Aubrey whined loudly at the contact and hid her face in the crook of her father's neck. Caleb ran his hand soothingly though her hair and looked apologetically at William.
"I'm going to get her to Hanna so she can wake up a little, she's not a morning person." He grinned.
As soon as Caleb walked into the garden Aubrey finally lifted her head from the crook of his neck and replaced it on his shoulder to look at all the people calling her name for attention,
He walking in Hanna's direction to hand Aubrey to her, but she was having none of it. Aubrey held on tight onto Caleb and hid her head again. Ignoring her mom and both grandmothers who were dying for her attention.
"Sorry," he mouthed to Hanna and sat down next to her with Aubrey hanging on for dear life.
Caleb stopped himself in time from leaning in to press a kiss on Hanna's lips. Looking out of the corner of his eye, he was sure his mother still caught his involuntary movement, squinting her eyes at him. He was glad she decided against saying anything and took a sip from her wine instead.
"Did you wake her or did she wake up by herself?" Hanna asked worriedly, glancing at the back of Aubrey head.
"She woke up when I was still trying to get changed. So I had to finish getting dressed with her attached to me as if her life depended on it."
"Poor baby." Claudia soothed.
Hanna exchanged a worrying look with Ashley, which didn't go amiss by Caleb.
"Looks like she's teething to me." Hanna groaned and ran her hands over Aubrey back a few times in order to soothe her. She dropped her hand onto Caleb's knee underneath the table, squeezing it two times before returning her attention to her mom who was observing her with a curious look on her face.

It was a while until William came back with James and Clay who had turned out to have been playing hide and seek.
After Caleb and Hanna had relayed their parent proof version of their trip on the lake, James excitedly told the table about their boating trip and how he nearly caught a fish with his hands.
Both Hanna and Caleb noticed he kept staring between the pair of them when he was talking from across the table, where he was sitting between Claudia and Ashley.
Caleb knew what that look meant and hoped James would steer away from his inappropriate questions, especially with everyone at the table. He tried to move Aubrey in his lap so he could leave the table and use Aubrey as an excuse, but James high voice traveled innocently over the table before he could put his plan into action.
"Mommy?" He asked, his big blue eyes surveying his mother. "Are Hanna and Caleb having another baby?"
Claudia chuckled lightheartedly and gave her middle child a weird look.
"They already have a baby James, she's right there." Claudia pointed. "Why would you think they're having a baby?"
"Because we saw Caleb giving Hanna a special kiss, didn't we Clay?!." Ashley nearly choked on her wine as Caleb's mind started to race, trying to figure out when and how they were seen as he felt his heart racing, his cheeks heating up in the process. He didn't dare to look at Hanna.
He hoped to the high heavens they weren't seen on the jet ski, but then William would have seen them as well.
To his annoyance, James wasn't done spilling the beans and Claudia only encouraged James to continue.
"You did?" Claudia asked gleefully and shared a knowing look with Ashley before the pair of them scrutinised the embarrassed teens from across the table. Their flushed faces full of guilt.
"He put his tongue in her mouth." James sniggered behind his hand but everyone heard him clearly.
Caleb groaned and tried to hide himself behind Aubrey, but failed miserably. Hanna busied herself with her drink, trying not to look at her mother or Claudia who were staring at the both of them.
"You're making it up!" Caleb challenged in a moment of pseudo bravery. He heard Hanna groan next to him, her hand squeezing his leg as if to say "stop encouraging him." She had learned in the few days of knowing James, the kid lacked any kind of filter and didn't need to be challenged to tell everyone around the table even more.
"We were playing hide and seek in your room upstairs just now and we saw them, didn't we Clay?"
"We saw." Clay echoed proudly, nodding his head enthusiastic.
"And then Caleb put his hand on …." He continued to inform the table, holding his hands, opened up in front of him, leaving nothing to the imagination.
"Okay! I think we heard enough!". Claudia butted in, pushing James hands down on the table.
There were certain things she didn't need or want to know about her eldest child. She sat up and tried to usher James from the table who objected because he didn't have dessert yet.
"But mommy, does that mean Hanna and Caleb are having a baby?" He protested.
"I hope not." Ashley grumbled under her breath, emptying her glass of wine. Loud enough for Hanna and Caleb to hear, who had their heads bowed in shame. Caleb squeezed Hannas hand under the table so she knew he would be by her side during this mortifying moment.
"I'm sure they're not having another baby, looks like they have their hands full enough with the one they have." Claudia said, successfully ushering James from the table with promises of s'mores later that night.
"They do." Ashley added, and Hanna could hear the displeasure in her words. "Hanna, come and help me on the kitchen?"
Hanna got up, her face burning as she followed her mom. Hunching over as if she was walking towards her death.
Hanna walked straight to the kitchen to make herself some coffee and to keep her trembling hands busy. "Coffee?" She asked her mother without turning around to face her.
"Answers." Her mother replied, crossing her arms and staring at the back of Hanna's head.
She could tell by the tone of her mom's voice she wasn't kidding around. She busied herself with the coffee machine a bit more, the noise masking the sounds of her mother coming closer until Hanna felt her mom leaning against the counter next to her, her eyes boring into the side of her head. Hanna bit the inside of her lip from keeping herself from smiling despite the situation.
"Start talking Hanna, how come James and Clay saw you two kissing? With tongue no less?" She asked angrily and Hanna was taken aback by the severity of it.
"You told me a few days ago that nothing, she mimicked Hanna's voice, absolutely nothing, happened or would ever happen between you and Caleb?"
Hanna couldn't help herself but snort. But Ashley wasn't amused.
"You must be the only one finding it funny Hanna. I can't imagine Claudia laughing about the fact her five and three year old have been subjected to early sex education by the hands of two teenagers."
That wiped the grin off Hanna's face and was rapidly replaced by a worried expression.
"Do you think she's mad at us?" She asked her mother in a small voice.
"You'll have to ask her Hanna. But back to your own mom now." She said pointing at herself.
"What happened, and more importantly, since when? Was it when he broke up with that Kira girl?" But Hanna shook her head.
"Stop stalling and tell me how long this has been going on Hanna, you know I don't like being lied to."
"Not that long mom." She mumbled, avoiding looking at her mother. "It started yesterday and we didn't even have time to discuss what it is yet, so that's why we didn't tell anyone. I was going to tell you on the flight home."
"Yesterday? You mean when you camped out together?"
Hanna blushed profusely, she knew where her mother's mind was going.
When she had found out she was pregnant with Aubrey, it left her no choice but to tell her mom exactly when it happened, the irony of the camping theme wasn't lost on Hanna.
"Are you having sex?" Her mom asked directly.
Hanna cringed at her directness "Mom! I told you, we kissed last night."
She met her mother's piercing stare and knew if she lied to her now, her mother would know something more had happened, and she wasn't going to tell her mom about the trip on the jet ski. She'd rather die.
"Were not having sex, stop worrying." She mumbled.
"Stop worrying? I am a 40-something grandmother!" Hanna cowered at her words and she regretted being so harsh.
"Hanna, I'll always worry, you're my daughter." Ashley sighed and observed her daughter. "Look, you might not want to hear this from your mother, but I'd prefer it if we visit the doctor when we get home so we can get you on some birth control at least okay?"
Ashley waited for Hanna to respond but her daughter kept staring at the contents of her mug. After a few moments she wondered if Hanna had heard her at all.
"Hanna? Are you listening?"
"I am." she scoffed
"But?"
"But nothing, it's awkward to talk to you about it."
"Well we can stop talking about it if you can promise me to never have sex again." Her mother said, half joking.
Hanna looked horrified at her mother, but kept silent.
"Right.." She said after the silence stretched between them. "So birth control as soon as you get home. And the love of God Hanna, talk to me next time about you and Caleb, so I don't have to hear about yours and Caleb's tongues in each other's mouths from James next time."
And please remember what I said, I love Aubrey with all my heart but I'd like to wait another 10 years or more for my next grandbaby to make an entrance in this world."

"Hey."
"Hey, how mad is she?" Hanna asked a blushing Caleb who was hiding from his family on the upper deck on the back of the house.
"She asked me how long it's been going on, cussed me for sneaking around with you, but she did tell me she's happy for us.
"She is?"
"Something about her seeing me happy makes her happy." He rolled his eyes at his mother's cliche.
"You don't look too happy." Hanna noticed and worried even more when he didn't quite meet her eyes. She joined him on the rocking chair. He stared into the distance at the view of the hills as the sun went down.
They sat together in silence, Hanna deep in thoughts, asking herself how she… they got there.
She voiced her thoughts, breaking the comfortable silence. "Can't believe we're here, now. Who would have thought huh?"
A sad look appeared on his face. "Not me. I thought I'd never see you again." He choked and he could feel the lump in his throat. He reached out his hand in between them until he found hers and entwined their fingers together, holding her tight. After a long silence between them he finally felt ready to speak again.
"I don't want you to leave Hanna."
Without looking at her, he could tell by the way she stiffened next to him, she was caught of guard by his words. It was the elephant in the room they'd chosen to ignore until that very moment, only to be spoken about when their separation was on their doorstep.
He tried to catch her gaze when she stood up suddenly, but he relaxed again when she positioned herself to sit in his lap.
Hanna took a while to get comfortable, but eventually rested her head against his chest, listening to the steady breathing of his heart. She clutched his t-shirt in her hand as his arm wrapped around her waist, his free hand seeking out hers, rubbing soothingly over her knuckles.
"I don't want to leave either." she breathed into his shirt.
"So what do we do Hanna?" He asks, scared for the answer. He rocked the chair gently, trying to calm his heavy heart.
"I don't know Caleb, have you talked to your mom about your school? Could you transfer to Rosewood?"
She felt him take a few deep breaths, waiting for him to speak.
"She's adamant I stay in this school and finish this year, here in California. She doesn't want to give up her parental rights after fighting the system to get it back, and…."
She waited patiently for him to continue. Hanna had a suspicion why Claudia did not want to give up her parental rights to Caleb.
"Jacob?" Hanna asked silently.
Hanna felt Caleb's heart rate quicken at her words and the chair creaked when he shifted uncomfortably.
"Yeah…., uhm, how did you..she told you about him?"
"She did."
"It's why she doesn't want me to leave Hanna, I'm still being monitored by the CPS whilst underage, so I can't just up and leave however much I'd want to be with you and Aubrey." He gripped her waist as he spoke.
Another silence fell between them. Both lost in thought. Hanna wondered for a long time how she was going to continue being a single mom to Aubrey, knowing Caleb was willing to be in their lives and having experienced him as a father.
Caleb wondered how on earth after everything, he could ask Hanna the one question he'd been trying to ask her all day.
He entwined their fingers, finding the courage and his voice.
"Han?"
"Hmmm" she replied softly from against his chest.
He cleared his throat.
"I know this may seem a bit weird, but could I…. Could I maybe spend the rest of the evening with Aubrey. You know, before you guys leave tomorrow morning? I haven't had a lot of alone time to spend with her...and… uh...I mean… I can understand if you don't want me to.. but...I…" He stuttered. This idea sounded way better in his head.
"I understand you wanted to see if I you could trust me with her before, but I'd really love to have a few moments alone with her before she goes to bed."
He looked down to find Hanna staring at him. His courage wavering as she kept staring.
"I mean.. I… I understand if you'd rather not."
"Caleb I think that's great. And I agree, it will be good for the both of you to spend some alone time together, just the two of you. I'll go save her from her grandmother's clutches and bring her up."
XxxX
The idea had seemed great at first. Spending some time with Aubrey outside and to take a walk. But as soon as his brothers had noticed, they had followed Caleb and Aubrey everywhere they went…
He got rid of them by reminding his brothers their mom had promised them smores.
He spent a moment with Aubrey on the edge of the lake talking to her and peppering her with kisses as he fought the tears when he remembered she would be going home the very next day.
"I love you so much." He whispered against her forehead as he brought her back inside with a new idea in his head, making his way to Hanna's bedroom.
He remembered Hanna had told him how much she would love to try out the Jacuzzi with Aubrey. What kid didn't love bubbles right?
After getting Aubrey out of her many layers of clothes and cleaning up an unexpected poo she'd done in the meantime, he lowered her in the tub, giving her the tea set he'd gotten her to play with. She was happily guzzling when he decided to turn on the Jacuzzi.
Caleb regretted that decision as soon as he saw her entire body shake in horror at the bubbles from underneath her, her big brown eyes looking at him in fright and clawing the side of the tub, screaming her head off, her face turning scarlet in seconds. She clawed at the side of the bath to be lifted from the jacuzzi. Her screams undoubtedly reaching all the way to the garden where he knew Hanna was trying her hardest not to freak out and run upstairs to see what was going on.
He lifted her in his strong arms and wrapped her up in a fluffy towel. Holding her against his chest and tried his best to soothe her. Scolding himself for making her upset.
XxxxX
Hanna really tried her hardest to stay where she was, as soon as she heard Aubrey's horrified screams coming from upstairs. She knew she could trust Caleb with their daughter but she couldn't find it in herself to relax as long as the screams went on. She was about to run upstairs when she caught her mother looking at her and shaking her head ever so slightly.
"He deserves a chance to learn Hanna. I'm sure he'll come downstairs if he needs help."
She hated that her mom was right. The screaming subsided soon enough, but she still wondered what on earth caused Aubrey to cry like that. Hanna still wasn't used to leave Aubrey out of her sight if she could help it.
After another hour of trying to pretend to listen to her mother and Claudia plotting ideas for a shared summer holiday next year. Curiosity got the better of her and she excused herself to sneak upstairs.
It was at least an hour after Aubrey's bedtime and wanted to check on both Caleb and Aubrey to make sure at least not both of them had fallen asleep.
She reached the landing when she heard his soft voice traveling from the deck where they had sat together earlier that night. She realised Caleb was singing to Aubrey, she crept closer to hear the words.
"You are golden,
Precious as a prayer, flying up through the air while the rain is falling golden,
Timeless as a kiss, baby I don't want to miss another perfect moment.
To tell you, how you make me feel.
The day you strolled in, my heart was stolen.
'Cause you are golden."
Hanna smiled to herself when she finally managed to make out the words. She felt the tears welling in her eyes , staring at Caleb's back in the rocking chair. Even through the beautiful words she could tell by the way he paused sometimes, he was emotional.
"My single star amongst the gray,
Always shining down…"
Hanna wasn't aware that she had sniffed loudly in order to keep the tears at bay, until she heard the old rocking chair creak loudly into the silence of the evening and found Caleb looking at her.
"I'm so sorry Caleb." She whispered moving closer to where he was sitting.
"I didn't mean to interrupt your daddy daughter moment!" She apologised.
"It's fine." He smiled softly and reached out for her to move closer. "She's fast asleep anyway. I didn't want to subject her to my bad singing when she was awake." He chuckled.
"You're not a bad singer." She smiled as she leaned over the chair and kissed the top of his head. "I loved hearing you sing."
They both stared at Aubrey asleep in Caleb's lap. Wrapped in the baby blue blanket Claudia had laid out for Aubrey in their first day at the house in Montecito.
"I think you should bring this with you when you leave." Caleb whispered, running the soft material through his hands. "It used to be mine."
"It did?"
"Yeah. My mom kept it all this time, I want Aubrey to have something of mine when I can't be with her." He swallowed.
"She already does." Hanna chuckled, running a soft finger over Aubrey's strong jawline and chin.
"She won't forget about you Caleb," she said, cupping his face with her hand, running her thumb over his cheek. "I won't let her."
She kissed him softly. After a long moment he pulled back.
"Should we put her to bed?"
"You do it, I'll be downstairs."
XxxX
After Caleb put Aubrey to bed, he spend the rest of the evening with his family, Ashley and Hanna making s'mores around the fire pit.
Their last evening was full of laughter and joy as James and Clay tried to eat as many s'mores they could before their mom could put a stop to it.
Caleb almost forgot about Hanna leaving the next day, until Ashley finally gave in after another yawn due to either the heat from the fire or the many glasses of wine.
"I'm off to bed, it's an early start tomorrow." She looked at Hanna and Caleb sitting close together, holding hands. Hanna's hand holding a stick with a marshmallow burnt to a crisp at the end of it.
"Hanna?"
"I want to stay up for a while." Hanna answered lazily.
She huffed when Ashley shot Claudia a pointed look.
"We're turning in as well actually." Claudia said, getting up pulling William with her. "James and Clay love getting up at the crack of dawn." She halted next to Ashley, looking at the teens who were staring up at them.
"Please behave you two. We don't want more grandbabies at the moment." She said as a form of goodbye, chuckling at their shocked faces.
Hanna and Caleb watched their parents disappear into the house, Caleb's arm wrapping around Hannas waist.
She laid her head on his shoulder. "Should we call it a night as well?" She mumbled, not wanting to leave his side.
He pulled back a bit so look at her.
"Han, I'm not going to spend the last hours I can have with you, sleeping in my bed."
XxxX
"Here," Caleb says softly handing Hanna a fluffy towel he brought with him for their swim. He drapes it over her shoulder and rubs a few times even though the night air was still hot and humid. Having a late night swim in the lake had been a great way to cool off after the hot and long day they'd had.
They make their way back to the beach bed that got too hot during the day for use. Hanna dropped the towel from her body and laid herself down and stretching out like a cat, feeling relaxed as she let out a yawn.
"You can go to bed of you want, we don't have to stay up all night." Caleb said, joining her on the lounger pulling her damp body against his. "I just wanted some alone time with you."
She shifts a few times making herself comfortable until she settles with her head on his chest. His hand around her waist, nuzzling his face in her hair.
"I'm in a bed," Hanna countered. "I'm good here." She smiled, finally comfortable when he feels Caleb moving beneath her. She lifts her head to look at him as he turns on his side, somehow keeping her in his arms as he faces her, a soft look on his face.
"Why are you staring at me like that?"
"I want to remember this moment forever." He said simply. "Sometimes I still can't believe you're here or that we ran into each other."
"We've got out mom's to thank for that."
"And Aubrey."
She smiled, thinking about her little girl. "It's weird thinking about how your mom was drawn to Aubrey that first day at the beach."
"Its kizmet." He smiled repeating her own words and waited for the slap Hanna was about to give him. He chuckled when she did.
"You remember that?" Hanna asked, wondering if he thought about their night camping out as often as she did.
"Of course I do, he said softly, running the pad of his thumb over her cheek. "That's when we kissed for the first time."
Hanna smiled at the memory. "I was so nervous."
"Me too." He smiled, moving so close their noses were nearly touching. "You still make me nervous." He breathes in the small space between them.
With a soft sigh he swiftly captures her lips, his mouth insistent against her own. His arms draw her closer against him as she grants him entry, their kiss heating up considerably as their body's are pressed close together. Her bikini and his swimming trunk only covering small parts of their bodies. Hanna can't suppress a moan when Caleb breaks their kiss, moving his mouth over her jaw, pressing deliberate kisses down her neck, sucking on the delicate skin until he reaches her pulsepoint. Gently biting the skin, soothing it with his tongue moments later.
His mouth follows his roaming hands over her body, softly caressing her skin, followed by deliberate kisses to her hot skin. Caleb glances up to her face, her closed lids and her mouth slightly opened. He can feel her chest moving underneath him with the short breaths she's taking, her erect nipples protruding through the thin material of her bikini.
"Have I mentioned how gorgeous you are?" Caleb asked her, moving so he's right above her now, bumping his nose against hers.
"Not yet."
He covers his mouth over hers and kisses her passionately. "You're gorgeous Hanna." He tells her, brushing a thumb over her cheek, his steady gaze on her.
He bends over to join their lips again, but Hanna makes a quick move and flips them over, settling her body over his as he relaxes against the soft mattress of the lounger.
Their new position puts her at the perfect height to meet his lips for a deep kiss. Her hands disappearing in his long hair as their kiss becomes more intense. The heat between them building. Caleb's hands disappear underneath the bottom of Hannas bikini, cupping her ass in his hands and pressing her closer against him, the effect she was having on him rubbing against her core deliciously. She moaned in his mouth, tugging at his hair even harder making him moan into her mouth as they slowly moved against each other, seeking much needed friction.
Caleb pulled one hand away to brush against her side, running up her back to pull at the strings of her top. He pulled his mouth away from her and sat up, taking her with him to remove her top, dropping it carelessly somewhere besides them, never tearing his eyes away from her.
"Gorgeous." He said again as he drank her in, cupping her face in his hands and kissing her.
Hanna ran her hands over his toned chest, dropping lower to the hem of his swim shorts and it reminded her of their first night in the tent.
"Condom?" She asked, more bravely than back then, into his ear. He pulled back looking shocked and Hanna searched his eyes. Had she misunderstood their heavy make out session? According to the obvious strain against his shorts she couldn't have, but he was still looking at her in shock.
"Hanna, I don't… dont have one on me."
"Oh."
"Shit." Caleb mumbles, looking nervous. "Do you think we.."
"Caleb, we can't have, not without…" She started, and felt herself come down from her aroused state and made a move to get off his lap. But Caleb pulled her back against him, rolling them so she was underneath him. He kissed her briefly and pulled back, brushing a few strands from her face.
"Hanna I understand, and I wasn't suggesting being unsafe."
"What are you suggesting." She groaned as he pressed himself against her and kissed behind her ear.
"Do you trust me?" He mumbled against her collarbone, nibbling it slightly. Her sharp intake of breath when he gently bit her skin was answer enough for him. He smiled against her, as he made his way further down. He felt the increase of her heartbeat underneath his lips as he palmed her breasts, Hanna arching into his touch. Her fingers digging into his shoulders as his lips close over one of her breasts, calming the other one, gently rolling his finger over the exposed nipple.
With the sound of her moans and whimpers increasing, Caleb makes his way further down, slowly dragging his lips over her stomach where he feels her flinch slightly under his touch. Soothingly, he runs his hands over her upper legs, resting them on the small fabric of her bikini bottoms yet leaving them on for now, concentrating on nipping and sucking on her hip bones, rubbing the smooth skin of her inner thighs with his hands ever so softly. He moves further down and kisses her just above her center through the material to test the waters.
He grins when Hanna arches herself against his face and lets slip another moan in return. Slowly, he pries the material down her legs, Hanna hastily helping him remove them using her feet to push them down her legs.
"Eager much?" He teases, bending down to run his lips along the inside of her leg. Hanna pulling on his hair, gently pushing him towards where she wants him. She groans when he finally complies and presses his mouth against her skin, his tongue tracing along the seam of her before swiftly plunging his tongue in. His fingertips dig into her hips as he alternates licking and suckling at her, soft and firm in equal measures, immediately figuring out which spots draw out the best responses from her. The roughness of his fingertips digging into the flesh of her hips and probing tongue serves as the perfect counterpoint to the softness of his mouth.
As Caleb's lips and tongue work tirelessly against her, Hanna's hips press up to meet his every move. His hands at her hips encourage her to rock against him, and she finds the shared control even more gratifying. Her fingers tangle into his hair once more, less to guide him than to spur him on. Her nails scrape along his skull, and she can feel the responding groan from him vibrating straight into her core. She repeats the motion again, occasionally tugging at strands as her fingers tighten within them.
He continues alternating between broad strokes of his tongue and sucking kisses into the little bundle of nerves that was driving her crazy.
"Please." Hanna begs.
He smiles against her, but finally lets up with his teasing that was keeping her on the edge, maintaining a perfect rhythm against her swollen clit. Adding his fingers to the mix as he pushes two of them inside her, curling them upwards to stroke her, his other hand digging at her hips to hold her steady as she moves helplessly against the onslaught of his tongue and fingers, feeling the fire pooling in her abdomen.
"Caleb…" She managed to groan before the shockwaves of her orgasm burned through her. Caleb not letting up, he kept kissing and licking as she shuddered beneath him from her climax. Hanna never seizing to moan his name, slowly coming down from her high.
Caleb stopped when he felt her push against his shoulders. Looking at Hanna lying back on the lounge bed, still reeling from the aftershocks as he presses soft kisses against her belly.
With a big goofy and satisfied grin, Hanna sinks further into the pillows behind her, trying to catch her breath. Caleb crawls back up her body, a proud grin on his face. Lazily, she wraps her arms around his neck, pulling him in for a kiss, tasting herself on his lips.
The kiss itself is slow and languorous, even with Caleb nuzzled against her, she can feel his impossibly hard erection against her sensitive center. As she is getting down from her high, she can't help herself to move her hand in between them, rubbing over the material of his shorts.
Caleb jerks at the sudden contact. He wasn't expecting her to reciprocate, watching her come undone because of him had been more than enough for him, but with her soft and deliberate touches he can't help but groan into their kiss.
Hanna moved swiftly, pushing down his shorts as he helps her in removing them. She gently pushes him against the mattress. Slowly kissing her way down his body, running her hands over his chest, teasing him with her long nails. She revels in the way his chest moves rapidly in anticipation. She watches his face closely as she wraps her hand around his cock.
He squeezes his eyes shut and she can see him taking a steadying breath. She smiles to herself, slowly moving her hand up and down, her mouth kissing his thighs. She runs her finger over the head of his cock as he clutches a clump of her hair in his hand, desperately trying to catch his breath when he feels Hanna's mouth around the tip of his cock, the warmth and wetness almost too much as she keeps stroking him. He can feel the pressure building rapidly. The way her tongue is pressing against the tip, her entire mouth around him as she keeps moving, her hand stroking his inner thigh whilst the other one speeds up the movement, keeping her mouth on him, sucking the tip and running her lips tantalizing over his cock before taking him in her mouth again. Caleb can feel himself about to come and pulls her hair slightly to let her know.
"Hanna...I'm close." He gasps, but Hanna grabs around his upper leg and keeps going, speeding up her movements, flicking her tongue over his cock with every other stroke.
Caleb can't contain himself any longer, he sucks in a breath when he feels the hot wave of his climax erupt inside him, his hips jerking uncontrollably with Hanna's hot mouth still around him, groaning her name like a lament, only slowing down as he came.
Caleb felt like he was seeing stars as he lay there, hardly registering the way Hanna was crawling back on his body until she muzzled into the crook of his neck. He managed to open his eyes to look at her. "Jesus Hanna, that was….wow."
He turned around to wrap her in his arms for a cuddle, his brain to fuzzy to form words. He could feel Hanna stiffen in his embrace and he looked down at her. "What's wrong?"
"As much as I want to stay here all night to be with you, maybe it won't be the best thing if we fall asleep here. Naked and all that " She giggled shyly.
"Just little while?" He begged, certain his legs still felt like jelly.
"A little while." She agreed, moving in closer, brushing her lips against his, smiling into their kiss as he pulled a thin sheet over their bodies.
