Rolling her over to face me, I cupped her face in my hands.
Her eyes widened in alarm. And a few tears slipped down her cheeks before she burrowed her face in my chest. “I didn’t mean to say that out loud. I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to say that and ruin this moment. Not that I didn’t mean the words; because I did. There is just no way you are at that point and may never be and that’s okay and I don’t expect it and I don’t want you to feel bad because I blurted out how I feel. And I don’t want you to worry – ”
Tipping her face up so I could meet her gaze, I silenced her rambling with a gentle kiss. “You didn’t ruin anything. I don’t know what love is supposed to feel like. I’ve never been in love before. But what I feel with you is so different from anything I’ve ever experienced. It’s powerful and potent. And I’m not just talking about the lust that surges through me anytime I’m around you or thinking of you.” I shot her a wolfish smirk. “But I very well could be falling in love with you too, Brooke. I just might not be aware of it. But I can tell you this much; something undeniable and captivating is going on between us and it can’t be ignored or dismissed. And I don’t plan to do either.” And I stunned myself with how easy it was to admit all of that to her.
She studied me for a long moment, her expression pensive. “You mean that. I mean I didn’t think you would intentionally lie to me, but I just didn’t expect you to say that. Not that I think you’re heartless or something or that big bad bikers don’t admit things like that. I observed it with Ryder and Sage. I just didn’t realize you were on the same page as me. And I like it. You don’t have to be on the same exact word, but it’s comforting to know it’s the same page. With you, I don’t believe I have to worry about being burned like I was before; I think you’d be honest with me, not go behind my back. Even if it gets worse dealing with my dad.”
“I’m not afraid of your dad, Princess. Fuck if I’ll let him get in between the two of us. You’re mine until you no longer want to be.” And now I managed to scare myself with the terrifying thought of her walking away from me. What the hell? I’d only known her for a couple of days. No wonder Ryder used to get so pissed at me for my comments about his feelings for Sage. I fucking got it now. Even though I wasn’t looking and didn’t believe I would ever want something more than casual pussy, BAM! A blonde haired blue eyed sassy temptation crossed my path.
“Then it’s settled; I’m yours.” Her lips curled into a content smile and I couldn’t resist kissing them.
“If you’re mine, you have to sleep naked in my arms every night. I think that is what a girl who is mine would do. Now mind you, I’ve never done this before so I would appreciate you indulging my ideas. Since this is new, we need to experiment with these things.”
Her grin grew. “You make it sound like I would have considered it a hardship.”
“Well, you love giving me a hard time so I figured it could go either way.” Shooting her a wink, I gathered her into my arms and arranged her back against my chest.
Giggling, she nestled in close. “I’ll continue to give you a hard time, but with this not so much. I love being in your arms too much to give you shit about it.”
Chuckling, I kissed the top of her head. Then I twisted to reach for my phone to make sure the alarm was set. Once that was taken care of, I slipped my other arm around her waist and drifted off to sleep.
The next morning, I awoke to Brooke plastered against my chest with her right leg draped over mine, her pussy dangerously close to my hardening dick. “Hey, Princess. I have a pretty flexible schedule, but I’m not sure you reporting to work late with the excuse ‘my boyfriend had to bang me this morning’ will fly.”
She mumbled something unintelligible before releasing a content sigh and snuggling in even closer.
I groaned. “Brooke, you have about five seconds to put a little bit of distance between your warm center and my excited cock before I feast on your pussy and then slam my dick home and give us both an overwhelming orgasm and believe me, I won’t rush it. I don’t want to make you late for work, Princess.”
Sliding her leg down from its perch on mine, she backed up enough to put a bit of distance between two parts that very much wanted to be joined. “You were the one last night with your ‘sleep naked in my arms every night; I think that is what a girl who is mine would do’ decree. This is what happens with those types of rulings.” She grumbled; her words raspy from sleep. Leaning her head back, her eyes blinked open and she smirked up at me.
“I love your fucking sass. But because I don’t want to make you late for work; I’ll wait until tonight to dole out your punishment.” I kissed her soundly on the lips, but before I could lose all sense of control, I released her mouth on a loud smack. “Time to get out of bed and away from this temptation.” Slipping out, I headed to the bathroom. “Give me just a few minutes and then it’s all yours.” Once inside, I ran through my morning routine and then strolled back out to my bedroom to retrieve a pair of jeans and a Twisted Flames Auto t-shirt.
Running a hand through her tangles, Brooke padded around me and into the bathroom. When she stepped back into my room, I expected her to be dressed. She shrugged her shoulders at my questioning look. “What? You slept beside me all night while I was naked, but you can’t handle watching me for a few more minutes while I get dressed? You didn’t get dressed in the bathroom so neither will I.” Then she tapped her finger to her chin, while she wasstillnaked. “Oh, I’m sorry. I forgot. You’re new at these things. Boyfriends and girlfriends can get dressed in front of one another. It’s okay.”
Without giving her a warning, I pounced on her and tackled her onto my bed. “You, little Princess, are going to get eaten out tonight until you lose consciousness several times. You are taunting the big bad biker and he’s going to devour you later for it.”
Her eyes widened, pupils dilated, and her breathing quickened before she visibly pulled herself together. Then she shot me a saucy grin. “That sounds fair.”
Shaking my head, I pushed up off of her and walked over to my dresser to slip on my cut.
After she was finished pulling on a pair of khaki pants and a maroon colored polo shirt with a ‘Pets the Priority’ patch on the left side, the two of us strolled out to the kitchen.
Ryder stood at the bar sipping on his cup of coffee, a plate of pancakes and a pan of bacon setting on the counter. “Help yourself. Sage already ate and went back to bed. I’m waiting on Bolt to get here and then I’m heading into the garage.”
“Thanks for breakfast. I’ll get tomorrow’s. Is Jade sleeping through the night already?”
“No. But she gets up and eats or just needs a little cuddling and then goes right back to sleep. But we were up and down with her a few times last night. And Sage is still exhausted from the whole birthing thing. I guess the two of you wore yourself out last night if you didn’t hear her crying. She’s not a screamer, but she can get pretty loud.” After finishing his coffee, he walked over to the dishwasher to place his breakfast dishes inside.
“Someone jealous?” I taunted.
“Fuck yeah. I’ve got about six weeks of just my hand. Not going to be easy after having Sage every night. It’s going to be rough, but I wouldn’t trade her or Jade for anything. I’ll see you at the garage.” He headed out the side door.
Grabbing dishes, I plated breakfast for the two of us before snatching mugs to brew us each a cup of coffee. When I was finished, I sat down beside Brooke. “Do you go out for lunch? Maybe if the timing is right, we could meet somewhere.”
“We usually order in. That way we can take our breaks when it’s not really busy. But if for some reason we don’t do that today; I’ll text you to see about meeting for lunch. Or any other day.” She took a sip of her coffee. “Because boyfriends and girlfriends meet for lunch.” Smirking at me over the top of her mug, she shot me a wink.
“We’ll see how sassy your tongue is tonight while my face is between your thighs and my own tongue is doing insanely wicked things to your pussy.” I popped a piece of bacon into my mouth.
She paused with a bite of her pancake near her mouth. “I’m not sure if I should be scared or turned on.” Grin still curving her lips, she resumed eating.
