“No, I didn’t but what does Pound have to do with anything?”

Thunder shifted, feeling a little self-conscious. He wasn’t the type who had hurt feelings often, and if he did, he damn sure didn’t admit it. “My patch was still clean at the time, and Pound razzed me about not giving it to you good enough. He told all the brothers, and well, they had a field day with it because I was the new guy. I may have let it get to me and that made it worse.”

She looked at him with faux sympathy. “Aw, did your poor wittle ego get bruised?” Thunder smiled at her playfulness. This was the Andy that he’d grown to love in a short time and couldn’t wait to learn more about.

ANDREA

This side of Thunder, one he seemed to only expose to her, was endearing. Through the phone last week, they’d really changed the dynamic of their budding relationship.

He’d told her all about Melissa, his deployments, his losses, and his gains. Funny how the passion he spoke about the Phantoms with was probably the thing that cinched her heart up as tight as his. When he told her he would place nothing above that family, it had stung a little until she realized she was a part of that family too.

“When do I get to meet Fern?”

“You already did.” When he looked puzzled, she elaborated.

“My plant, Fern. She was in the living room.”

Thunder rolled his eyes. “I didn’t see a fern in the living room, but shit, woman, the way you talk, I expected a cat or something.”

“She’s not a fern, she’s a Ficus.”

They shared a laugh. Andy knew it was weird of her, but that stupid plant meant a lot to her. It was the only thing she took from her old life. Somehow, she kept it alive through everything. Their laughter slowly ebbed, and when she stared up into his eyes, she realized she’d gotten to know him so well. Well, enough to know something lurked there.

“What?” She gentled her voice and stroked his cheek.

“It’s, well, I’m going to sound like a pussy.”

“I won’t tell, promise,” she said with a playful wink.

“It was just, with all that and me thinking you ghosted me years ago, and then at Horns you said…” His voice trailed off, and he simply shrugged his shoulders, looking vulnerable.

With all their talking and laying their pasts bare, it hit her like an uppercut. She’d explained multiple times what his words had done to her, but she never once thought about what her words might have done to him. Thunder had practically told her, but she’d been obtuse. So wrapped up in her own feelings, she ignored his completely.

“Oh, God. I’m a total asshole.”

“No, babe, you’re not. Forget I said anything. I just let stupid shit build up and—”

Thunder shut up when she shimmied out from under him. He rolled over and stared at her, confused. With no finesse and no seductive prowess, she tugged at his pants. Thunder being Thunder, he lifted his ass to make her job easier. Once she had his pants and boots removed, she leaned forward and kissed his dick, which responded immediately.

“Shit, if I’d known being a pussy would land me a blow job, I would’ve boohooed a long fucking time ago.” His hand immediately dropped to her head. He was a take control kind of guy, she knew he was ready to shove her mouth down on him. Andy was not a pro at navigating the male ego. The fact he mentioned it spoke volumes, even if he tried to downplay it. He didn’t know how to express the need for validation, but that didn’t mean he didn’t crave it.

“Don’t you mean pretended to be a pussy?” He didn’t immediately answer. “You know, because you knew playing the part would get you a blow job.” It was a statement, but she added an upward inflection to give him an out. They both knew he was serious, but they also both know he was extremely uncomfortable with that level of vulnerability.

The spark in his sexy as fuck eyes almost did her in. His smile, well, it did. She dropped her mouth around his cock at the same time he said, “I fucking love y—” He ended his statement on a groan as she swallowed him as deep as she could.

Thunder’s hand fisted in her hair. “Shit, do you have any idea how hard it is not to fuck your face right now?” His words encouraged her, so she swallowed him deeper and deeper until he bottomed out in her throat.

Andy groaned long and low, hoping to drive him insane, and let him know she found nothing inadequate about him. It worked. When his other hand fisted in her hair, he completely took over and she embraced it. Thunder pulled her hair almost painfully to guide her up his length, then shoved her back down it as he surged forward. The first time caught her by surprise and she almost gagged, but after that she was ready. Each time he dropped her face and rammed himself up, she swallowed and hollowed her cheeks.

“Fucccckkkkk.” She felt so in tune with him, in sync. Like they’d danced this dance hundreds of times, yet it had been nowhere near that. It also felt like the first time too. “If you don’t swallow, you’ve got about two point five seconds to tell me so.”

Instead of stopping to answer his question, without thinking, Andy brought her hand up along the side of his cock. Without missing a beat, she wet her pinkie finger with her mouth. It was the only lube available without stopping.

She made her way around to his backside with her hand and worked her wet pinky into his ass to the first knuckle. Andy was unsure how Thunder would react but it was best he learn now she wasn’t always going to submit to him. She didn’t have a clue what’d come over her. Not only had she done nothing like that before, she’d never even thought of it. Because of his size stretching her lips, there was some extra lubrication running down his balls too.Thank God.

Before she could even work her finger all the way inside his body, Thunder unloaded down her throat with a yell that could wake the dead. She was swallowing as fast as she could around his cock. She was grateful for Lexi’s noise canceling headphones.
