It's been a week since Claire's funeral and things are starting to feel a little less sad. Rather than thinking about her and thinking I'm never going to see her again, I think of her and all of the fun times we shared together and I smile. Of course, I still have moments where I cry, but I can't help but imagine her sitting next to me saying 'Really Aubs, you're crying again, your smile is so much prettier than your ugly cry face' and I laugh.

Things between Easton and I have changed for the better as well. We've been sleeping in the same bed for the past week, and although things are moving slowly and he's been very respectful towards me things are going great.

"I don't give a fuck, you'll do what I'm telling you to do, end of." His voice booms from outside the bedroom door.

"Don't you get it, a family has lost everything because of them, Aubrey lost her best friend because of them and" He speaks again, but is cut off mid-sentence.

"You have no fucking idea what it feels like to listen to your girl cry herself to sleep every night, you have no fucking clue how hard it is to not be able to take her pain away and put a real smile on her face, not just the one she puts on to act like she's okay when she's not. You have no idea what they're going through, so you'll do what I'm fucking telling you." He goes quiet one more and the bedroom door opens.

"Sorry, did I wake you?" He questions as he makes his way in and sits down on the bed.

"I was already awake." I sit up facing him. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, of course, I'm fine, just people not doing their jobs."

"East." I take his hand and look him in the eye "You know that you can talk to me right? I know this hasn't been easy for you either, you have to re-build the clubs, you're still paying everyone a wage, you're dealing with the police, still running the shipping company and somehow you haven't left my side."

"It's fine Sweetheart, none of that is for you to worry about."

"Easton." I sigh and kneel, moving closer to him. "I'm here for you as well, always," I tell him as I place my hand on his cheek making him look at me

Rather than responding he places his hand on the back of my head and pulls my lips to his. The moment our lips touch it's on.

He pushes me down the bed and kisses me hard with an open mouth, his tongue fighting for dominance against mine. I flip up quickly before he has time to think, not once breaking the kiss. I kiss him hard, biting his lip. I've never wanted someone more than I want him.

Not liking having me in control he flips us once more and removes my shirt from over my head. There is no need for him to stop and question if I want this because I do and I show him with every swirl of my tongue around his.

Lucky for me, he wasn't wearing a shirt, so that's one less item of clothing I need to remove. As his lips move to my neck, I moan out softly and trail my fingertips down his abs to the start of his pants. I unbutton them and move my hand inside his pants feeling his hard length.

He reaches for my hand and pulls it back pinning it above my head. "I'm in control here sweetheart." He smirks.

He kisses down my body and removed my shorts and panties throwing them to the floor just like he had done the first night things got heated between us. He spreads my legs and using two fingers runs them over my core. "So wet already." He smirks and inserts his fingers.

I moan at the feeling, no expecting it, but accept it with every part of me. He continues this way for a few more moments then removes his fingers and lifts them to lips, placing them in his mouth, tasting me. "As good as I remembered." He smirks and moves his hands to his pants.

He removes his pants revealing his hard length and places his lips to my neck. I can feel his tip at my entrance, moving against it teasingly "Easton please."

"Please what?" He mumbles against my neck

"Please stop teasing me." I moan

"What do you want from me, baby?" He bites the skin on my neck.

Feeling frustrated I attempt to flip us once again, so I'm on top but he pins my hands above my head and looks down at me. "Say it baby, use your words, what do you want?"

"Fuck me Easton."

"That's all you had to say, baby."

Within a second he thrusts into me. I moan out loudly, partly pain but mostly pleasure. He's bigger than Caleb so it took me a moment to adjust, but he feels amazing.

"Fuck, you're so tight." He groans as he continues to thrust in and out of me hard.

I moan loudly as his movements, moving my hips against his. "Easton." I moan his name

He smirks softly, going a little harder "I love it when you say my name."

Our movements become harder, and faster, and my moans louder. I can feel my body getting closer and closer to its brink. He removes his hands from their hold above my head and uses one hand to balance his body, the other hand he runs up my body until he reaches my throat, placing pressure on it, squeezing but not hard enough to really hurt, just buzz

Within seconds I'm sent over the edge and orgasm under him, moaning loudly as I do. "Easton, oh god."

He pumps in and out a few more times before releasing with a groan. "Fuck." He collapses down with me.

"Mmmm." I hum softly with a grin in agreeance and move closer to him.

He pulls me to his side and wraps one arm around me. "That was me taking it easy on you." He smirks

"Bring it on." I raise a brow at him a smirk.

"Don't test my Aubrey." He smirks back

I press my lips to his once more and lean my body over his. In one swift motion, I'm on my back once more. "I'm stronger than you sweetheart." He mumbles against my lips

"Aubrey have you seen-" Amara speaks as she enters the room. "Shit." She covers her eyes

Easton moves off me quickly and pulls the blanket over our naked bodies.

"Fuck, knock much?" He huffs

"I'm sorry, I didn't know you'd be.." she pauses

"You can remove your hands from your eyes." I giggle softly

She slowly moves her hand away and looks at the two of us with a grin. "Well I was looking for Easton, but I guess I've found him." She laughs "I need you guys to come over for dinner tonight, I have something to tell everyone."

"Okay, fine, now leave." Easton huffs

"See you tonight." she turns to the door "And by the way, I ship you guys." she laughs and leaves the room.

"Right well, I have to go into the office for a few hours and sort some things out, do you want to come with me or I can drop you off to Charlies?"

"I'll go to Charlie's It'll be nice to spend some time with Angie and Caleb."

"I thought that might be your answer." He kisses the top of my head. "Take a quick shower and we'll leave."
