Invisible Strings

Chapter Thirty-Three

Accepting that I was about as worthless as dog shit on the bottom of my shoe, I turned on my heel and made my way out of the garage, the snicker I had in my pocket all but forgotten. I headed back towards the bus where William was letting us crash since the kids were here. But even knowing that my kids were on that bus, I couldn't feel anything but worthless. There was nothing intriguing about climbing into bed with Dillon, nothing enticing about cuddling with her and drifting off to sleep. No, all I felt was worthless and angry that I had been stupid enough to throw away the best thing that had ever happened to me.

I let out a sigh of relief when I climbed onto the bus and found that not only were Chloe and Colton sleeping, but so was Dillon. But that relief was short-lived when she rolled over in her sleep, kicking out from under the blankets and I noticed that she was completely nude. I couldn't help but compare her lack of curves to Delaney's, and it made me wonder once more why I had ever made the decision to leave Delaney and try to start a life with Dillon. Disgusted with myself, I grabbed the blankets and covered Dillon's naked body since the last thing I wanted was for one of the kids to walk in and see her like this, and made my way into the bathroom. I turned on the taps in the shower and quickly shucked my clothes and climbed in before the water was even warm. But as I stood under the spray of the water, all I could think about was the scene I;d watched back in the garage and it made my cock swell anew. Helpless to fight it, I once again stroked myself as I stood under the spray of the water. "This is the last time I will do this, I swear." I whispered to myself, knowing that I was lying to myself. I could say that this would be the last time all I wanted btu I knew that for the rest of my life, I would think about Delaney on that hood while another man fucked her senseless.

Delaney's POV:

The rational side of my mind told me that it was only a matter of time before Brantley and were found in the garage, naked and sprawled across the hood of the car since our screams had undoubtedly been heard by anyone even close to the garage, but the blissful side, the side that wanted to lay here and bask in the afterglow of our love-making was winning the internal argument that I was in the middle of. I knew that was what we should do, but I also knew that Brantley had wrung enough orgasms from my body that were so strong that I didn't know if I could even move much less walk without doing so bow-legged.

"We should get dressed," said Brantley, seemingly reading my thoughts. "Don't want anyone else seeing what's mine."

"Yours, huh?" I said, shifting lazily and rolling so that I was facing him.

"Laney, I own your body and you know it." There was a cockiness in his voice but not the kind that made one cringe. It was the type of cockiness that came from a man that knew that what he was saying was completely and totally true. And I loved it.

"That you do." I replied. "And it makes me love you all the more for it." I added, testing to see how he would react to me saying I loved him again. The first time, I hadn't been able to see his face since he had been fucking me from behind. But this time, I saw his eyes turn a whole different shade of green, one that was filled with desire and happiness, and it made my chest swell with feminine pride that I was the one that was on the receiving end of that look.

"Good thing. Because there is plenty that I love you for. These being one of the many reasons." he said, cupping my breasts in his big hands from behind when I'd stood in order to find my clothes. He pinched my sensitive nipples between his fingers, making me sink into the warmth of his body. "And this," he added when his left hand left my breast and landed over my heart. "But this," his hand moved from my heart to the junction of my thighs, the tips of his fingers finding the very top of my folds. "I think I love this the most."

"So you love me for my body, is what you're saying." I said playfully.

"Your body is a plus, I won't deny that, but it's you as i person, the way you submit to me and challenge me, the way you make me feel things that I thought I would never feel again, that makes me love you so deeply."

I spun in his arms then, looping the limbs around his neck and I stepped onto my tip toes and placed my lips over his. It didn't take long before that kiss turned into something hotter and the two of us ended back up on the hood of the car. Only this time, it was slow and sensual, but still just as hot as the first time.

"Well don't you too look like yall have been playing a few rounds of mattress limbo?" said Layla when Brantley and I finally made our way back to the buses. I'd been so lost in the floaty-glowy feelings that only Brantley was capable of making me feel that I hadn't noticed that she was sitting around the small fire pit where we'd left every earlier.

"More like hood-of-William's-car limbo." I said, the words coming out unchecked.

"Oh thats fuckin' golden. Way to sock it to that sack-of-week-old-dog-shit that you call an ex-husband." Layla said with a laugh. "I can't wait to tell Ryan."

"Tell Ryan what?" said Amanda, walking off of Chase's bus. "Couldn't sleep. Baby kicking my bladder already." she added as an explanation as to why she was up.

"Del and B just had wild monkey sex on the hood of William's car," said Layla.

"Ohhhh, that's freaking EPIC!" Amanda said, meeting Brantley and I as we neared the fire pit. "I can't wait to see the look on Chase's face when I tell him."

"Amanda..."

"Del, you gotta let Ryan or Chase tell William. This needs to get back to Alex just so you can rub it in his face that he was never able to make you get so out of character." said Layla. "A big ol' 'fuck you' to the some of bitch that thinks he's God's gift."

"No one is telling anybody." said B, wrapping his arms tightly around me. "Let's all just hope that the action that car saw tonight is the only action it sees this weekend."

"Pfft, William won't even break the top ten this week. He never does at Atlanta." said Layla standing from her seat. "Anyway, I'll see y'all in the morning. Breakfast is on me."

"Sounds good." I said.

"I'm headed off to bed too. Try to sleep while I can before Chase is waking me up. You know... gotta do the whole hot-sex-with-my-wife-before-the-race ritual that Chase has. Not complaining about it though." said Amanda as she walked back towards the door of the bus.

"We're hitting the sack too." said Brantley, lacing his fingers with mine and leading us behind Amanda.
