Taking Shots Page 147

“Damn right! I’m pissed off! I want sex.”

“Shea! Jesus!”

Elli stormed by him. When he went to grab her, he tried using the arm that was taped to his chest, and pain ripped through his body. It hurt so bad, that he almost threw up from the pain. What the hell was he thinking? Elli must have heard him make his sound of distress because she was at his side in one second as he put his hand down, leaning against the counter.

“What happened, are you okay?”

“I tried to grab you with the wrong arm.”

“I mean, shit, Shea. This is why you ain’t getting any. Not for awhile, at least,” she said, running her hand up and down his back. He leaned his head down, laying it against the cool of the counter.

Shit, that had hurt. Maybe she was right.

“Okay.”

“Okay. Now, come on. Let’s go upstairs.”

He nodded before following her up the stairs. Once inside the room, she helped him get undressed. Shea watched as she carefully removed his shirt, making sure not to touch his arm.

“It's just hard being so close to you, and not being able to throw you against the wall and have my way with you.”

“Oh, hush,” she giggled as she undid his pants, lowering them down to the ground, her face passing by his growing erection.

“No really, Elli. I want you all the time, so f**king bad.” Elli looked up at him from her knees and smiled.

“So f**king bad, huh?”

“You have no idea.”

Her eyes lowered a little, becoming half lidded before she pulled his boxers down, releasing his engorged flesh.

“I think I do, because I feel the same way.”

That was the last thing said before she took him whole in her mouth. He leaned back against the wall, thanking God for giving Elli her hot little mouth, and the things she could do with it.

Pure bliss, he thought as he tangled his fingers into her hair, pure damn bliss.

Elli was having the best time with Shea and his family. Christmas was amazing. Of course, she had missed her family and called them all on Christmas morning, but being with Shea and the rest of the Adler clan made it okay. Everyone loved the gifts Elli had gotten them, and Elli loved the gifts they had gotten her. She felt so much a part of the family that it was mind blowing.

When she opened her gift from Shea, she grinned as she held the diamond encrusted ‘6’ in her hand. When she pulled the charm necklace he had given her so long ago out of her shirt, he smiled.

“What? I always wear it,” she said with a grin as she slid the charm beside the hockey stick.

Elli had to admit, though, the best part of Christmas morning was when Mark brought out her wolf fish, stuffed and mounted on a cherry finished board, with her name and the date underneath the fish. It almost brought Elli to tears, because she would forever have that moment on her wall, the moment she fell in love with his family.

And realized she loved Shea.

It was crazy how she came up here not loving anyone, or so she thought, and when she would go home in a few days, she would not only love Shea with all her heart, but she loved his family. She loved Jenna and her quirky sense of humor and how she babied everyone. She loved how Mark would laugh so hard he would cry when he would tell a story. How James would pick on Shea and Grace, calling them dorks and weirdoes when they would go into Shea and Grace mode. She loved Grace because she was so strong and loved everyone so much. Elli knew in her heart that Grace might be a tad bit jealous of her, but she still loved her. Ryan and Amelia were doll babies. Elli loved them at first glance, and she knew that a long time ago. Then there was Shea, her hunky hockey player who rocked her world. How could she not love all these people with everything inside of her? If anything, God forbid, ever happened between her and Shea, Elli would be forever broken. These people were part of her heart now, and probably would be for forever.

After cleaning up after Christmas dinner, Elli sat with Grace and Jenna, looking through the Adler family album while James and Mark sat in the living room with the kids while Shea was laying down upstairs because his arm was hurting. When Jenna turned the page of Shea’s book, Elli stopped her. The pictures that filled the page were of Shea and some redhead.

“Alyson Jacobs,” Grace said with a shake of her head, “Shea was obsessed with her. It was sad, really.”

Elli giggled as she took in the beauty of the redhead, with light blue eyes and freckles covering her cheeks, while Shea looked gorgeous in all of his 18 year old glory.

“Oh Elli, he really was. And damn that girl, but she broke my baby’s heart in 1000 different pieces.” Jenna said with a shake of her head, “I heard, though, that she married a stock broker who cheats on her every chance he gets, so she got what was coming to her.”

Elli and Grace laughed as Jenna just smiled.

“Shea met up with her back in Philly, used her like the trash she was, and then dumped her. I was surprised with the way he handled her the second time, though. I was sure we would have another episode like the time before,” Grace said, looking closer at the picture as Jenna just shook her head.

“Little hussy.”

Elli looked over at Grace, “Episode?”

“Oh yeah, it was bad. I was in love with the Backstreet Boys, hell I still am, but anyways,” she took a sip of her coke, or as she called it pop, and continued with her story, “I listened to their music nonstop. And well, when Alyson broke up with Shea, I went into the room to check on him and he was laying on the floor, bawling his eyes out, singing all the sad love songs by them. I didn’t know what to do so I ran for my mom and she went in there doing her mom thing. It was crazy.”
