Too Hard Read online

  “Morning,” I say as I walk into the room and all three of them turn to look at me. I go straight for Harlow and put my hands on either side of the recliner as I bend down and give her a quick kiss. “You disappeared on me.”

  She blushes and bites her lip as she looks over to the boys. “I got lost looking for the bathroom and then they lured me away with pizza and a video game update.”

  “Up.” She stands up from the recliner and looks at me with confusion. I take her place and then pull her down on my lap. She pulls the blanket over both of us. “It’s too early for pizza.”

  “Some people argue that pizza for breakfast is a good source of nutrition,” Owen chimes in without taking his eyes off the screen.

  “Some people are full of shit.” He glances over at me and shrugs.

  Harlow lies back against my bare chest and I feel her tug my shirt up under the covers. When I slide my hand down her hip I feel that she doesn’t have anything on under it. I lean in close and put my lips to her ear.

  “Next time you wake me up before you get out of bed.” I slide my fingers around her waist and between her wet folds. She gasps but then disguises it with a cough as she nods.

  I don’t do anything other than keep my fingers there, just petting her every now and then while she plays her game. The sun is coming up and the boys have practice in a few hours so I’m just relaxing until they have to go get ready.

  “So, are we going to discuss the fact that Harlow is here and you were banging her all night?” Elijah says after she kills him and he’s taken out of the game.

  “Watch your mouth.” I look over at him and he has the decency to look contrite.

  “Am I wrong?” he asks as he gets up and clears the dishes and what’s left of the pizza.

  “I didn’t know this was going to happen so I didn’t have a plan on how to do this the right way. If there even is a right way. But yeah, Harlow is here this morning and I think you can figure out as to why.” I look to Elijah and Owen. “You boys are old enough to understand how things work, but I want you to know that I’m not taking this lightly or doing it on a whim. Harlow means a lot to me and she’s going to be around from now on.”

  She turns around to look at me when I finish talking and I raise an eyebrow in confirmation. After a second she nods and smiles at me like I’ve just given her the whole world. In a way that’s what she’s done to me, so I understand the way she feels.

  “Cool, I’ve always wanted a stepmom,” Elijah says, and Owen smacks him on the back of the head.

  “Welcome to the family,” Owen says as he grabs his brother by the arm. “We’ve got to get ready for practice, but we’ll see you both tonight?”

  “Yes,” Harlow confirms, and I hold her tighter against me.

  “Yes,” I agree, and they both surprise me by smiling at each other and leaving the room.

  “That was easier than I thought,” Harlow says as she turns around in my lap.

  “I know.” I look down and my shirt on her has completely ridden up and her pussy is right there in front of me.

  I look over her shoulder to make sure the boys are gone and I reach between us and push down the front of my pants. I’m not wearing any underwear and my cock springs free.

  “Butch,” she scolds, looking back over her shoulder. But she raises her hips as I position myself at her entrance and slowly slides down on me.

  “Just let me get off real quick or I won’t be able to walk upstairs.” She nods as she moves up and down a little to slick my cock until I’m all the way inside. “I’ll take care of you when we get back to bed.”

  She begins to move while I lay the recliner all the way back. I’m horny as fuck after sitting here with my fingers in her pussy the whole time and I can’t deny the thought of getting caught spikes my need to get off quickly.

  “I’m there,” I say after she rocks her hips only a couple of times. “Lift up, princess.”

  I grab her waist and she puts her hands over mine as she whines and grinds down on me.

  “Let go, Harlow. I can’t keep cumming in you.”

  I glance down at her puffy bare lips and think about smearing my cum on them. When I look up at her she’s biting her lip again and looking at me with hooded eyes.

  “Just one more time, Daddy,” she pleads, and I feel a hot chill all over my body.

  “You can’t do that.” I grit my teeth and try to hold myself back, but I don’t know how much longer I can.

  “I like the way it feels when I’m all squishy inside from your cum.”

  My cock throbs and begs as I grip her hips tighter and try to raise her up. “We’re going to the doctor today to get you on the pill.”

  “I promise,” she says, leaning forward and placing a kiss on my lips. “Just this one last time, really quick.”

  I close my eyes and let go of her hips as her pussy takes me all the way in. I grit my teeth as my cum pours out of me into her hot little cunt. It’s better than anything I’ve ever felt in my whole goddamn life. I’ve never had my cock bare inside a woman before and nothing has ever been this tight. Even after a night of my dick breaking her in it’s still like the first time.

  “You keep begging me to cum in you and I’m going to start putting it in your ass.” I slide my hand around her cheek and press my finger to her hole. She shocks me by pushing against it and asking me to touch her there.

  “You can put it anywhere, Daddy,” she breathes, her lips against mine.

  Another wave of cum spurts from my cock and I have to pull her off of me just as it comes out. It sprays all over her lips and I relish the sight of the sticky mess I’ve made.

  “Let me take you bed and clean you up,” I say, tucking my cock back into my pants and lifting her in my arms.

  Thoughts of bending her over and putting it in her butt have me hard as a lead pipe. I did have plans to work today, but it looks like I’m about to take a long-overdue vacation.

  Chapter Fifteen

  Harlow

  I lean against the doorframe as I watch Butch pack up his toolbox. My office is finished and it turned out better than we’d actually mapped it out. I can tell Butch put his all into doing it and not only did he do a wonderful job but he did it in no time. He’s so good with his hands and not just when it comes to construction.

  We’ve been together for over a week now and I know how busy his company is. He’s in demand, but he took his time to make sure my office was handled by him alone. I’m pretty sure it was because he didn’t want anyone else in my space. The only problem is that I hate my new shiny office.

  He turns to look at me and I force a smile, not wanting him to know. “You did a really great job.” It’s not a lie but still I hate it and I don't want to work in here. Hell, I don't even want to be in this apartment anymore. It doesn’t feel like my home and I want to go back to his house and plant myself in his chair. That’s where I’ve been doing my work and it’s perfect. He cuddles in next to me while he watches TV and randomly yells at something on the giant screen. That’s my favorite office now.

  But now that this is all complete, I no longer have a reason to stay at Butch’s. He was the one who suggested I stay with him until my office was done so I didn’t have to work in a construction zone. I didn't care and stayed there when that prick Sean was working on it. All I had to do was close the door and I didn't even know he was there. I didn’t tell Butch any of this and agreed to stay with him. Now that the excuse is gone I hate this new space. This doesn’t have my Butch in a recliner that we have sneaky sex on. I don’t know why, but trying not to get caught gives me a dirty thrill.

  “I fucking hate it,” Butch says through gritted teeth and my head jerks around to him. He pulls off his gloves and drops them into his tool box.

  “You don’t like it?” I hedge.

  I’ve been trying to come up with one thing specifically, but nothing is springing to mind. Nellie knows what she’s doing when it comes to design and did an amazing job gettin
g everything I asked for to work in the space.

  He shakes his head and starts to look mad now.

  “Is it the color?” I ask hesitantly.

  The walls are painted yellow and Nellie joked that it would be the only sun I’d get when we picked it out over a month ago.

  “It’s not the fucking color.” My face heats at his tone.

  Butch normally only curses when we’re having sex or he’s turned on. Him dropping the F-bomb back to back has my nipples hardening. My body thinks it’s go time, but Butch’s face does not say the same. He keeps on getting madder and I have no clue why.

  I push away the door and move towards him. His arms open for me and I lean into his big hard body.

  “What’s wrong?” I peek up at him through my eyelashes.

  Butch’s mood always sways mine, and even though we’ve only been together a week I’m pretty sure we’re connected on a deeper level than other people are. I know if I get worked up about something it messes with his mood, too, and that might be what’s happening right now. The space is pretty and perfect, but it’s not for me.

  “You work at my place.” I’m not sure if it’s a command or statement.

  “I have been.” It’s been wonderful working there because it’s cozy and has my head filling with all kinds of ideas about my future with Butch. Before him it was always work and then video games to kill time.

  “You will be working at my place,” he corrects as he lifts me up. “You don’t belong here anymore, but you know that already.” It’s another reminder that I belong to him and he knows me to my core.

  “I love the office, but it’s not mine.” I don’t like that he put so much work into it and then pushes it aside.

  “I know, little one,” He leans down so our mouths meet and he kisses me deeply. “We’ll get you all moved out and get this place on the market. The office will up its value, so it’s still worth the work. Don’t fret over that.”

  I melt into him. God, he’s too perfect to be real.

  “Is this your way of asking me to move in with you?” I tease, smiling bigger.

  I’m going to be staying at Butch’s and I love it there. I even love the twins. They’ve made me feel so welcome, you’d never guess we’ve only known each other a short time. I still need to introduce Butch to my mom and aunt, but I know they’ll love him when they see how happy he makes me. It helps that Nellie thinks he’s perfect for me.

  “Oh, I’m not asking.” My sex clenches when I think about the things he tells me to do. I wrap my legs around him, knowing where this is going.

  “Yes, Daddy,” I say against his mouth, making him groan before my back hits the wall. I start to pull at his clothes, wanting to touch him everywhere.

  “Fucking hell,” he mutters and breaks his mouth from mine. I’m still in a daze as he puts me down.

  “What?” I grab for him. “Why are you stopping?”

  “Someone’s at the door,” he grunts before turning and walking out of my office and towards my front door.

  “Oh yeah,” I call out as my sex-filled mind catches up. “It’s Nellie.” He opens my front door and my cousin is standing there with a smile on her face.

  “Hey, Butch,” she says, stepping inside. “I’m still taking you, right?” she asks, glancing from Butch to me. The appointment I made for today completely slipped my mind.

  “Yeah, let me get my purse.” This is another thing I’m not excited about.

  “What’s up?” Butch asks.

  I didn’t tell him because I don't want to go. I’m avoiding it, but I told him I’d do it.

  “I have a doctor's appointment and Nellie is going with me.”

  “Oh! Is the office done?” She doesn’t wait for a response before she’s off to go look.

  “What’s the matter?” Butch walks over to me and his hands go everywhere like he’s checking for a wound. He places his palm on my forehead and I roll my eyes.

  “I’m not sick.” I take his hand from my head and I lock my fingers with his. “You told me to, you know.” I shrug, but he doesn’t catch my drift.

  “What? Tell me.” He starts to get worked up and his face is serious.

  “Birth control,” I whisper. Nellie knows why I’m going to the doctors and it’s only Butch and me right now, so I don’t know why I’m being shy.

  We’ve been playing a dangerous game and for all I know I could be pregnant right now. I never gave much thought to having a baby before, but I do know when I see Butch with his sons it makes my ovaries want to explode with a need I didn’t have until him.

  He stares down at me. “Is that what you want?”

  “I thought you didn’t ask questions.” The corner of his mouth pulls up as he drops his forehead to mine.

  “I know we love how we are together and the things we say and do.” His voice is so deep and it rumbles against me.

  “Yeah,” I agree.

  “I told you to go on the pill, but after the past few days I don’t know if that’s what I want anymore.”

  “I don’t want to be on it,” I rush to say, and he smiles. I see tension drain from his body as he smiles.

  “Good, then we’re on the same page.” He brushes his mouth again mine before he looks into my eyes. “I love you.”

  “I love you, too.” I jump into his arms and pepper kisses all over his face.

  “I’m guessing we aren’t going to the doctors,” I hear Nellie say.

  “Not today,” Butch answers for me. “But soon.” I brush my nose against his and I don’t think I’ve ever been this happy before. “And I’ll be the one to take her when it’s time.”

  Epilogue

  Butch

  Two months later…

  It’s our wedding day and I’m not the least bit nervous. What I am is desperate to see my bride because she insisted on staying with Nellie the night before the wedding. I think she did it to torture me and I’m not shocked. Harlow tends to do things because they get under my skin.

  Like texting me this morning that she isn’t wearing panties under her wedding dress. Ever since then all I can think of is when I’m going to get a moment alone with her so I can find out for myself.

  “Are you ready, Dad?” Elijah is standing next to Owen in all black tuxedos.

  “I could kill Nellie for making us wait until tonight to have the wedding,” I grumble, straightening my tie.

  I glance in the mirror back to the boys who have their heads together again. They’ve been doing this on and off all day anytime Nellie is mentioned. I guess I just assumed they would have met her before the wedding, but with them graduating and getting ready to leave for college next soon I guess there wasn’t much time. But I could tell from the look in their eyes that she had made quite the impression.

  Nellie clearly seemed interested with the way she was touching them and laughing. But I worry about what they’re going to do if she goes on a date with one of them. The two of them have been inseparable since they were born and I know it’s not only because they’re twins. They share a bond like I’ve never seen before and my biggest fear is that a woman will come between them.

  They were accepted to different schools and I wondered if it would be a chance for them to strike out on their own. But they turned it down and decided to stay close to home and attend the state university together. They’re even sharing a dorm room, though I did try and talk them out of it.

  I shake my head and sigh, knowing that as a parent sometimes you have to let them make their own mistakes. I smile in the mirror as I think about doing it all over again with our baby on the way.

  We stopped being even the least bit careful after that last day in Harlow's apartment. I was on a one-man mission to get her pregnant once I realized that it meant she’d be mine in every way. It was all I could do to keep my dick out of her, but my good girl always welcomed me.

  “We’re going to go get in place,” Owen says as he comes over and gives me a hug. “I love you, Dad, and I’m really h
appy that you’ve found someone like Harlow.” He squeezes my shoulder and Elijah steps forward to do the same.

  “I know I joke around with you a lot about it, but I see how much you love Harlow and how much she loves you. It’s about time you took something in life for yourself after you’ve spent all these years living for us.”

  I can see how much he means those words and I hug him close. “That’s my job as your dad. And just because I’m getting married doesn't mean it stops today. You are my baby boys and always will be.” I lean back to look at the two of them side by side and almost taller than me. “Even if you keep growing.”

  They laugh as make their exit. I grab the little box sitting on the table. I wait a moment after they leave before I stick my head out the door and see them at the end of the hall talking closely to Nellie. Once I know where they are, I slip out of the room and walk in the direction I know Harlow is going to be.

  When I get to the white door I open it up and step inside before quickly closing it back and flipping the lock.

  “Butch!” Harlow squeals as she turns around and faces me.

  She’s in a fluffy white dress that makes her look just like a princess. It’s nothing like I pictured her in, yet it suits her perfectly. It’s strapless with a sweetheart neck and sparkles all over it. It’s fitted at the top and poofy at the bottom and she looks like she could be on the cover of a bride magazine.

  “You aren’t supposed to see me.” She puts her hands on her hips like she’s irritated with me, but it doesn't reach her eyes.

  “If you didn’t want me breaking in here, then why did you tell me you wouldn’t be wearing any panties?” I raise an eyebrow and she tucks her chin, blushing. “We both know you did it to tease me and to see how far I’d push it.”
