Forbidden Awakenings (Awakenings #1) Read online

  “Hmm, I don’t know,” Sadie murmured. “Honestly, I’m tired, I was thinking it would be great to just hang out and watch a couple of movies. But if y’all want really want to go out, we can.”

  “There you go with that y’all stuff again,” Elle teased. Callum and Derek laughed with them. “But I agree. Let’s just hang out here. This weekend has been kind of intense already.”

  “Okay, why don’t you two go pick out a couple of movies while we clean up in here,” Derek suggested.

  Quickly agreeing, Elle and Sadie rushed out of the kitchen.

  Ten minutes later, the four of them were cuddled on the couches and watching one of the latest horror movies about a young girl who finds herself stuck in the middle of the woods while demons chased her. Though, if Elle were being honest none of them were watching the movie. They were too busy trying to deal with the sexual tension that hung in the air. They had declared themselves to each other, committed their souls to the crazy relationship they’d been experimenting with. Now, Elle knew she’d never be able to live a day without them. She needed them too much: their love, their bodies, their souls — all of them. Forever wasn’t long enough.

  Sadie and Elle were sitting on one end of the couch with their arms wrapped around each other while Derek and Callum were on the other end. Derek had his arm around Callum, who had his body facing the girls. Derek’s hand was lying across his chest, caressing his bare skin. Elle noticed the way Callum shivered from the touch and had a bulge in his shorts.

  Smiling, Elle leaned her lips against Sadie’s ear. “Look at them. Aren’t they sexy as fuck?”

  Sadie moaned, pressing herself against Elle. “Mmhmm.”

  “You know what would even hotter?” she asked, sliding her hand down Sadie’s stomach until she reached the top of her black, satin panties. Derek and Callum were watching them, their eyes full of lust and need, but Elle knew the time had come for them to shake things up. It was time to put all their cards on the table and truly become one in their relationship.

  “What?” Sadie panted, pushing her hips toward Elle’s fingers. “Baby, please!”

  “Watching them touch each other,” Elle said, dipping her hand inside her panties and cupping her pussy.

  “Oh, fuck! Yes!” Sadie almost screamed, throwing her hand up and tangling her fingers in Elle’s hair. “That would be amazing!”

  Derek and Callum looked at the women for a moment before they turned to each other. Elle could see how nervous they were, but it had become clear to her that they needed to take this step. They were in love, and needed the positive encouragement to explore their feelings. Plus, she’d been dreaming of watching Callum stroking Derek’s cock, or even better, Derek on his knees with Callum’s dick sliding between his lips and into his throat, not to mention the fantasies where she imagined them fucking. It didn’t matter who topped or bottomed, they were sexy and belonged to her, just like Sadie did.

  “Oh, shit,” Elle groaned at the thoughts running through her head. She kept her hand inside Sadie’s panties while using her other one to rip off the T-shirt she’d put on that morning, leaving her lover half-naked.

  “Jesus fuck, that’s hot,” Derek groaned, his own hand sliding into his shorts as he grabbed himself.

  Callum blew out a deep breath before he slid off the couch onto his knees and faced Derek, who snapped his attention to the man in an instant. Without uttering a sound, Callum grabbed the top of his shorts and pulled. Derek lifted his hips, allowing him to slip the shorts down his legs. Callum tossed them onto the floor and looked back at the man sitting naked in front of him.

  “I love you,” Callum murmured, wrapping his hand around Derek’s cock.

  Leaning forward, he crushed his mouth against Derek’s, their tongues battling against one another’s. A moment later, Callum tore his lips off Derek’s and lowered his head to his cock, snaking his tongue out and giving it a tentative lick.

  Derek moaned, his head falling backward as he grabbed the back of Callum’s head and tangled his fingers in his hair. “Please!”

  Elle watched as Callum’s lips parted and he took just the tip of Derek’s shaft into his mouth. “Oh, my …”

  “Fuck … just fuck,” Sadie groaned, tightening her grip on Elle’s hair. “That’s just …”

  “Yeah,” she agreed, watching as Callum began to suck harder, taking another inch and then another into his mouth. His eyes were closed and he had one hand on Derek’s stomach, but his other hand was between his own legs, rubbing his dick through the cotton shorts he wore. Elle thought about crawling beneath him and taking him into her mouth, but she couldn’t take her eyes off the vision in front of her. It was so much better than her fantasies.

  Sadie released her grip on Elle’s hair, sliding her hand down her body and covering Elle’s. As they watched the men next to them, Sadie slipped their joined fingers into her pussy. When Elle gasped and looked down at her, Sadie smirked. “Keep watching them, baby, and just feel.”

  She managed to turn her attention away from the woman sitting in front of her and looked over at Callum and Derek. Their moans filled the air. Derek’s eyes were closed, his hand tangled in Callum’s blond hair, and a look of utter ecstasy filled his features. His hips lifted off the couch as he gently met Callum’s mouth. They were beautiful and sexy, unlike anything she’d ever seen before.

  “Callum …” Derek trailed off, his hand tightening and his hips pushing upward again and again. “I’m close.”

  Elle expected him to pull away, to finish Derek off with his hand, but he didn’t. She watched as he inhaled through his nose and slid his cock further into his mouth. Derek sputtered a series of four letter words as he found his release into Callum’s willing mouth. He swallowed every drop and licked Derek’s cock clean before leaning back and smiling.

  Suddenly, Derek pushed Callum away from him with so much force, he fell backward onto the floor. Derek shot off the couch and was on top of him before Elle and Sadie could say anything. He grabbed Callum’s arms and pinned them above his head. For a moment, Elle worried that he was pissed that Callum had taken that step without permission, but then Derek crushed his mouth against Callum’s, swallowing the moan that erupted from the other man.

  As he gasped for air, he pulled his lips away and began kissing and sucking his way down Callum’s body, releasing his hands. However, Callum didn’t move. His eyes were wide and his chest heaved, but Elle couldn’t tell if it was disgust or shock. Either way, she couldn’t take her attention off of them, even with Sadie’s pussy massaging their fingers. The sensation of Sadie between her legs and the visual of Derek yanking Callum’s shorts down his legs, revealing his hard cock, was enough to cause her heart to race. She bit her lip as joyful tears filled her eyes, but still she couldn’t look away.

  Derek shifted his eyes up to Callum, a wary smile tugging on his lips as he leaned down and swiped his tongue across the swollen cock.

  “Oh, fuck!” Callum cried out, slamming his hand on the floor. “More. Fucking give me more!”

  “Gladly,” he moaned, wasting no time and engulfing Callum’s shaft in his mouth.

  “Oh, my God, that’s just …” Sadie trailed off and fanned herself.

  “It’s beautiful. Perfect. Just the way we’re supposed to be,” Elle whimpered, overwhelmed with the love that filled the room.

  The movie had long been forgotten. The actress’s fake cries for help and ear-piercing screams were being drowned out by the moans and pleas coming from Callum. Sadie and Elle watched as he lifted his hips off the floor, sliding himself further and further into Derek’s mouth. The man had his hands on Callum’s ass, caressing his skin and coaxing him to keep moving. They were beautiful and sensual. Together, they were bonding themselves as much more than friends who gave the other an occasional hand-job or peck on the lips. Today, in this moment, they became lovers just as Sadie and Elle were.

  “I’m gonna come,” Callum gasped out, and Elle could tell he was struggling
to hold himself back, wanting to be respectful of Derek and offer him the chance to choose whether or not to swallow or not. However, all it took was one look from Derek, and Callum cried out, finding his release. “Oh, holy fuck!”

  Derek leaned up, brought his hand to Callum’s cheek, and smiled. “Thank you.”

  “For what?” he asked.

  “Making the first move,” he said. “I’ve been dying to touch you, to taste you, but I was scared.”

  “So was I,” Callum laughed. “I thought for sure you’d kick me on my ass and, I don’t know, hate me. But I love you, Derek. I think I’ve always loved you.”

  “Me, too,” he admitted, brushing his lips against Callum’s. “Always.”

  “Fuck, you’re beautiful,” Elle murmured, drawing their attention to her and Sadie.

  “We are?” Callum asked.

  She nodded, feeling her cheeks warm. “You get it now, don’t you? The way Sadie and I feel for each other, you understand it now.”

  “We do.” Derek stood up, grabbed Callum’s hand, and pulled him to his feet. Still naked, he walked to them, grabbed Elle’s wrist, and tugged her fingers out of Sadie, bringing them to his mouth and licking them clean. “But we still need you. Both of you.”

  “And we always will,” Callum added, sliding in front of Derek and pulling Sadie up into his arms.

  As his hands drifted down to her ass, she leaned against his naked body, almost like she was desperate to touch him. “We need you, too,” she whispered.

  Elle stood up, dragging her hand across Derek’s chest. “More than you’d ever know.” Turning, she walked toward the stairs. When she reached the bottom, she looked over her shoulder and smiled. “Are you coming?”

  Inhaling sharply, the three of them nodded and followed. They spent the rest of the day in bed, reconfirming their love for each other with soft kisses, gentle touches, and murmured whispers.

  “She’s gonna lose it,” Callum commented. “Look at her. She’s close. Just needs a little more and she’s gone.”

  “You would be, too, if you were in her position,” Sadie quipped.

  Elle looked over at them, giving them an annoyed look. While she had been pacing back and forth across the living room, Derek, Callum, and Sadie were cuddled on the couch, watching as she slowly lost her mind. “You three know that I’m standing right here, don’t you? I can hear every word you’re saying about me.”

  “We know,” Sadie said, smiling. “You look damn sexy, too.”

  Rolling her eyes, Elle returned to her pacing and tried to calm her raging nerves. “Maybe it would be better if Callum and Derek didn’t go with us?”

  Why she made it sound like a question was beyond her. Today, Elle’s parents, Helina and James Reid, were arriving into San Francisco for Ivy and Nick’s wedding, which was in two days, and Elle was terrified of introducing them to Derek and Callum. Almost eight weeks had passed since they had met at Club Venom and it had been just over a month ago that they’d admitted their love for each other, and Elle was afraid of letting her mother loose on them.

  Elle had been vague with Helina in regards to her lovers. As far as Helina knew, Sadie was seeing Derek and Elle was dating Callum, but she had no clue about the extent of their unique relationship. The only reason Elle had told Helina anything was because she and Sadie had marked their RSVP cards as ‘plus one’ for the wedding. Barely two days had passed before Helina had Elle on the phone and was begging for details about the new man in her life. Elle refused to give out any, which just infuriated Helina more than normal. She spouted out a few hateful comments about how selfish Elle was for keeping her life secret and how it was going to cost her everything before promptly hanging up on her. Needless to say, Elle had been hurt, but it wasn’t anything new. Her entire life had been one selfish conversation with her mother after another.

  Derek grabbed Elle by the shoulders, stopping her in mid-pace. “Then we won’t go to the airport with you, but we are going to meet them sooner or later, beautiful. You can’t hide us for long.”

  “I didn’t mean it like that,” Elle murmured, bringing her hands up and laying them on his chest. “I just …”

  “What?” he prompted, always encouraging her to be honest with them and herself.

  “I want to protect you. From her. From them. From their narrow-minded ideals about what’s right or wrong.”

  Derek laughed. “Aw, that’s sweet. You think we need protection from her.”

  Elle nodded. “She’s … Well, there isn’t a nice way to put it: my mother’s a bitch. And my father is just so complacent about everything.”

  “That’s true,” Sadie added, causing them to look over at her and Callum. “But he’s right. They’re going to the wedding with us, and the last place you want Helina to meet Derek and Callum is at Ivy’s wedding. Best to just get it over and done with it beforehand.”

  “I guess you’re right,” Elle admitted. “Besides, it’s not like she’ll know that we’re … Well, nontraditional.”

  Though he tried to hide it, sadness filled Derek’s eyes, but a moment later it was gone. “Right.”

  “I’m not ashamed,” she whispered, bringing her hand up to his cheek. “I love you. I love Callum and Sadie, and the way we are when we’re all together. I just … I don’t want her to ruin what we have.”

  “Baby, no matter what that bitch says or does, this . . ,” Sadie gestured to the four of them, “… will not be ruined. Not unless we let her. So maybe now isn’t the right time, but sooner or later, we’re going to have to tell all of our parents about us or our relationship will never work. Not in the long run, and I am damn well planning on the long-haul for us.”

  “Me, too,” Callum said, standing up with Sadie in his arms and moving to where Elle and Derek were standing. “I want forever. I want everything that comes with being in love. Marriage, babies, all of it.”

  “Wow,” Elle murmured. She’d never thought about what the future would hold for them, but the idea didn’t scare her as much as she thought it would.

  “Too much, too soon?” he asked, wincing.

  “No. Yes. I don’t know.” She laughed, nervously. “My mother is difficult, and I …” She trailed off, unable to put her thoughts into words. “It’s stupid — I know — but I don’t want to lose her because I fell in love with you.”

  “Okay, how about we compromise?” Derek suggested. “You and Sadie can pick your parents up at the airport, get them settled in their hotel, but we meet for dinner.”

  “That would work,” Sadie agreed, shifting her eyes to Elle. “What do you think?”

  “Yeah, that’s fine. Just nothing fancy. My mother will bitch about the price, the portion size, everything, so we need to keep it simple.”

  “Okay,” Derek laughed, looking over at Callum. “Gold Rush?”

  “Yeah,” he chuckled. “Sounds like a good place.”

  “What’s Gold Rush?” Elle asked.

  “Just a burger joint down on the pier.” Derek brought his hands up to her cheeks. “We’ll meet you and your parents there at seven. I’ll text you the address. Just try to relax, okay? Promise?”

  “I’ll try,” she consented, leaning up on the tips of her toes and kissing him. “Thank you.”

  “For what?” he asked, lifting an eyebrow.

  “Just … for being you,” she chirped, kissing him again. “I love you.”

  Derek smiled. “I love you, too. Now, you’d better get your ass moving or you’re gonna get stuck in traffic and your mother will be pissed.”

  “Okay,” she said with a sigh and stepped backward. Turning to Callum, she brought her hand up to his cheek as she leaned up and kissed him. “Don’t have too much fun without us.”

  “And if you do, remember every dirty little detail,” Sadie added, sliding her arm around Elle’s waist and bringing her hand to her breast. Derek and Callum moaned, causing her to laugh. “Come on, baby. We’re going to be late.”

p; Elle snickered as she and Sadie walked out of Derek and Callum’s house and climbed into Sadie’s car, while listening to them call them teases. It was true; they were teasing their lovers, but over the last month, Derek and Callum had explored each other thoroughly, though they hadn’t made love. There had been blow jobs and touching, not to mention plenty of kissing, but they hadn’t pushed the envelope further. Taking the next step in their relationship was too important to be done on a whim, but Elle was desperate to watch them fuck. More than once, she’d fantasized about Callum pumping his cock into Derek’s ass while he ate her pussy, or Derek taking Callum while he had his wicked way with Sadie.

  “You’re doing it again.” Sadie laughed, drawing Elle’s attention toward her. “You’re cheeks are all red and you’re practically panting with desire, baby. You’re thinking about them, aren’t you?”

  “I am,” Elle admitted, smiling. “I can’t help it, though. They’re so fucking hot!”

  “They are,” Sadie agreed. “Last night, while Derek was sucking Callum’s cock, I thought for sure he was going to beg Callum to let him fuck him, but nope.”

  “I think they’re scared. I mean, sucking cock and kissing is one thing, but taking it up the ass is totally different, right?”

  Sadie shrugged her shoulders and changed lanes, ignoring the honking from the driver she’d just passed. “I guess. It’s just anal, though. Not a big deal.”

  “Yeah, but we’ve done anal before. They haven’t. Think about the first time you took a dick in the ass. Weren’t you nervous?”

  “Not really,” she said, shifting her attention to Elle. “But maybe it’s because it was you and it wasn’t a real cock. Maybe it’s different when it’s not a dildo.”

  “I wouldn’t know.” Elle snorted. “Leo only managed to get about two inches in me before he came.”

  “Asshole couldn’t even fuck you right,” Sadie muttered.

  Sighing, Elle looked out the window. “Do you think my parents would still love me if we told them everything?”

  “Honestly?” she asked, and Elle nodded. “No. Not because us being together is wrong, but they have this impossible idea about morals and ethics. Helina more than James, but he won’t make a stand against her, I’m afraid.”
