"Thank you for today." I told Brian after everyone left.
"For letting them inside? Tatum, they are human beings for christ sake. And he is your family. Don't thank me for that." He said seriously.
"People don't treat them that way though. It was nice of you." I grinned.
"Don't worry about it. He's welcome here any time. They all are. Once everyone got past being scared shitless, we had a great time." He smiled.
I let out a laugh, shutting the lights off downstairs. As we entered the hallway to Brian's bedroom, he made me stop.
"Is everything ok? What did he want?" He asked.
"To get my permission to kill Gage." I said matter of factly.
"What did you say?" Brian whispered, his eyes not leaving mine.
"I said no." I told him.
Brian was quiet. Too quiet. He looked at his feet and nodded his head.
"It won't change what happened." I explained.
"Maybe not, but he doesn't deserve to fucking breathe the same air as you." He seethed.
His head snapped up at me. His eyes are black with rage. I wasn't expecting this type of reaction from him at all. I'm shocked. I really am.
"You should of let him do it." Brian said.
"Brian! What the fuck!? I would have that on my conscious for the rest of my life!" I shrieked.
"I don't think you would. I think you'd sleep better knowing he wasn't around to hurt anyone again!" He yelled.
I jumped at his voice. Brian has never, ever yelled at me. Yell at his friends? Sure. But me? Nope. I'm very nervous now. I can feel the rage emitting from him.
"Brian-" I started to say.
"No! Fuck that guy! That piece of shit should be dead!" He yelled, making me back up.
"I can't do it!" I yelled back.
"Why? He is a piece of fucking shit, Tatum!" Brian yelled, inching closer to me.
"Stop." I whispered.
"No! I thought you were gone that night! He almost took you away from me!" He yelled.
"Brian, you're scaring me." I whispered through my tears.
Brian leaned back from me some. He has a horrified look on his face. His hand came up to cover his mouth for a moment before dropping it again.
"Oh god. Tatum. Baby, I'm so fucking sorry!" He whispered, hugging me.
I let him hug me, but didn't hug back. I don't know what to think about all of this. Brian looked down at me and shook his head.
"I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to scare you. I swear I didn't. I just...I hate that I didn't protect you that night." He whispered.
"You did though. Don't you get it?" I sniffled.
"Not like I wanted to." He said sadly.
"You did. Please don't think you didn't." I whispered.
Brian pulled me into a deep kiss. My body melted against his instantly. My hands came up to hold his face closer to mine as we kissed each other.
"Fuck!" Brian panted, backing me against the wall.
My hands are undoing his belt as fast as possible. Brian yanked my shirt over my head and I did the same to him. I bit at his neck, getting a loud moan from him.
"Right here. Right now. That is how badly I need you." He panted.
He yanked my underwear off from under my skirt I was wearing. I'm fighting to undo his pants. Brian got fed up and quickly undid them. He shoved down his pants and boxers. His mouth was all over my chest, sucking hard at my nipples.
Reaching down slightly, he picked me up and leaned me against the wall. The whole time I am kissing him desperately.
"God, baby girl. You're killing me." He growled.
I smirked at him. Brian thrusted into me hard. My back arched against the wall. Both of us moaned as loud as possible. I want him so bad. I need him. My hands fisted into his hair as he moved hard into me.
"God, don't stop, Brian." I moaned.
"You like that, baby?" Brian growled at me.
"Yes!" I moaned.
"This fucking skirt did nothing but tease me all damn day. Every time you walked past me, I had to stop myself from taking you to bed and fucking you senseless." He panted.
I'm so close that I feel like I'm going to die if Brian doesn't stop avoiding a certain spot. My nails are digging into his shoulders. My legs are squeezing his waist as hard as I can. And this whole time, Brian is moving faster and faster.
"Fuck!" I whimpered as he hit the spot finally.
"You're so fucking tight, baby girl. I love it." He whispered, kissing me hard.
That kiss made my world explode. Never in my life has an orgasm been so fast and intense for me. I heard myself moan and cry out. Brian groaned louder and pressed against me harder.
"I'm gonna cum, baby." He panted.
"Good." I muttered, kissing him hard.
With one final thrust, Brian pressed us against the wall. His body shook hard. I felt goosebumps rising on his skin. My god, the moan that came out of him was so loud that it turned me on all over again.
"Holy fuck, Tatum." He panted out.
"I love you." I whispered.
His eyes softened at me as he smiled. Very carefully, he set me down. Brian kept a hold of me and kissed me over and over.
"I love you so much. I'm so sorry about earlier." He whispered.
"It's ok." I whispered.
"Thank you. Come on. Round two in the bed." He grinned, sweeping me off my feet into his arms.
"Jesus! That wasn't enough?" I grinned at him.
Brian gently laid me back on the bed. He climbed in next to me, laying on his side. Slowly shaking his head at me, he tucked the hair behind my ear.
"It's never enough being with you. I always want more. There is one thing I've learned since we met. You're like a drug to me. I have to have more. Not being able to touch you for almost a full year drove me fucking insane, Tatum. I hated putting on this act of being friends and nothing more. It killed me. I hated seeing you with Matt, but I had to shove it aside. I really thought I had missed my chance to be with you again." He said quietly.
"I told myself I had no feelings for you. I figured one day I may convince myself of it too. I pushed all of my feelings aside and tried to ignore them. But then I noticed how you were always there for me. When I was at my worst, you were there because you cared about me. I realized how easily you calm me down in a matter of seconds. No one has ever done that before. The more I tried to shove the feelings aside, the more I couldn't ignore it. And secretly, I hated seeing you with Michelle." I grinned a little.
"I hope both of us are determined to make sure we are never apart again." He told me.
"There is no one else I want, Bri." I whispered.
"Me either. God, babe. I want to just blurt out something, but I know for a fact it will send you running for the hills." He groaned painfully.
My stomach turned. What the fuck does that mean? That is not reassuring at all to me! I felt all the blood rush to my face. I may puke. Good god, what did he do?
"Tatum?" Brian chuckled at me.
"Huh?" I whispered.
"You're panicking. You don't need to." He grinned.
"That doesn't help calm me down." I said.
"Fine. I'll tell you, but your ass is not going to run off on me. No pushing me away. No shutting me out. No acting weird. I'm so fucking nervous even asking this. I don't expect an answer yet. Do not feel like you have to answer me today. I want you to be absolutely certain, and not feel pressured into it." He rambled out.
"I'm about to puke over here, Haner." I said, watching him chuckle.
"It's nothing bad, doll." He smirked.
"Not helping." I whimpered.
Brian moved so I was laying flat on my back with him hovering over me. He leaned down to gently kiss me.
"I want you to move in with me permanently. I want us to buy a house together. I want it to be ours. And again, I do not expect an answer now." He said quietly.
"Holy fuck." I whispered, staring at him.
"I knew it would be overwhelming. I'm sorry, doll. How freaked out are you?" He asked worried.
"I'm not. More like that wasn't what I had expected at all." I said.
"Thought it was gonna be something bad, huh?" He grinned a little.
"Honestly? Yes, I did." I said shamefully.
"I can understand why. It's not like you've had a lot of good surprises. I plan on changing that too." He grinned.
"I don't need time to think about it." I blurted out, surprising both of us.
"You...you don't?" He asked hesitantly.
"No. I don't need time. I'm positive I want this. I want to be with you, Brian. I hate being away from you. God, do I sound like a clingy bitch?" I groaned, watching him laugh.
"Nope." He smiled.
"Then yes, as long as I'm not being a clingy bitch." I grinned.
"You realize how happy you just made me?" Brian smiled.
"Um, really happy?" I asked.
"Yes. But my main question is, are you happy?" He asked seriously.
"More than I ever thought was possible." I smiled at him.
