She got the drop on me and rolled me to my back, dislodging my cock from her pussy.
I grabbed the globes of her ass. “I could be, as addicted to you as I am, but that isn’t what prompted me to change my mind.”
“Really?” she asked, lowering her torso to mine.
My lips curled into a smile while I gathered her hair in my hands. “Yeah. Deep down, I don’t want you having to figure it out for yourself. That’s wrong. Then there’s what you said about how you’re different from Debra. The more I thought about it, the more I realized how true that is. Hell, it’s what drew me to you that night. You didn’t want me because I’m president of a mother chapter. You didn’t know shit about me.”
She rested her forearms on my chest and propped her chin on top of her arms. “Yeah, but I… I’m gonna ask this anyway, are you sure you won’t bail on me like you did with Jordan? I won’t be cool with that, and I want to be in on that kind of decision… ‘cause you don’t understand how much I’ll fight back with someone who fucks with my family.”
I gave her ass a squeeze. “I can’t make that promise, but we’ll take it one day at a time.”
Her eyes rounded. “I’m not moving to Augusta, I just put a deposit down on an apartment and I want my doctor to be—”
I put my finger on her lips. “One day at a time, baby. My club’s had issues in Jacksonville for a long-ass time. You’re in Jacksonville. I have to make a visit there to solve the fuckin’ problems. I’ve decided I’m gonna be in town for a while. That means I’m staying with you, but we’ll take precautions.”
Her lips tipped up. “Right, that sounds like a plan.”
I liked the excitement lacing her tone. It almost had me looking forward to a trip to Jacksonville.
She stared at me like she couldn’t believe what I’d said. My gut said my next words would wipe that look off her face.
“One more thing, Jade.”
“What?”
“Most of those weekends, I’ll have to go back to Augusta. You’re coming with me as often as possible.” Her eyes went wide. “And it’ll kill me, but that won’t be on the back of my bike.”
Yep. Her expression drooped like a wilted flower.
“Sorry, baby, but how many pregnant women do you see on the back of a Harley?”
She rolled her eyes. “It’s annoying when you’re logical.”
I rubbed my hand up and down her back, squeezing her ass every chance I got. “Is Volt gonna freak the fuck out again?”
She grinned and slid her eyes to the side. “Most likely. But, he’ll get over it as long as you don’t fuck me over.”
Those words made my lungs freeze. The word ‘never’ sat on the tip of my tongue, but life had a way of fucking things up. “Not if I can help it, darlin’.”

Scale of One to Ten
Simone
“I didn’t guilt you into this, did I?”
He tipped his head back on the pillow and he laughed long and loud. “You won’t believe this, woman, but I’m not known for laughing much. That first night with you, I laughed more than I had in over a year.”
“You didn’t laugh much then, either. They were more like chuckles.”
“You’ve made me belly-laugh at least twice in the past hour.”
“So you needed a comedienne in your life?”
“No. You believe you’re made to be a president’s old lady. Well, I’m certain only a woman like you would be able to make me laugh.”
“Fair.” My eyes darted to the side and back. “Um, I don’t move to Jacksonville until late next week. I’ll be back in Gainesville tomorrow night.”
