Page 28 of Maverick

“You’ll know when the time is right, Silas. But for now, stop denying your feelings for the girl. Tell her how you feel so you both can explore this new adventure together.”

I laughed and looked at her, “I don’t have feelings like that for her. That much I know is true.”

Mama laughed and gathered Colton and Knox up in her arms. The boys were sleepy and barely moved. “Stop fighting your heart, Silas. Once you let your own walls down, everything else will become clear. Now, go down and apologize to that girl for the way you acted today. That’s not the man I raised.”

I stood up and kissed Mama, Colton, and Knox on the head. “Love you all.”

I headed into the field and toward Willow. As she turned around, I couldn’t help but smile. She had paint all over her, but she was smiling and absolutely gorgeous.

“Hey. Uhh...I wanted to say sorry for what happened earlier. I shouldn’t have accused you of those things. I also should have just talked to you instead of yelling. There’s a party tonight at the clubhouse, and I was wondering if you wanted to go with me? Maybe this will help everybody chill-out and let tensions die down.”

I stood there and waited for what seemed like an eternity before Willow spoke up, “Sure. But I need somebody to watch Orion. I don’t think it’s totally appropriate to bring him to a party.”

“I can think of somebody who would love to watch him.” I looked up and pointed to Mama and the boys.

She waved and came down. “I would love to watch him, dear! I’m sure the boys would love it too once they wake up.”

Willow laughed and patted Orion on the head. “He seems to really love them. I guess if you are willing to watch him, I have no excuse not to go.”

“Perfect! Come on, Orion! Let’s get these boys home and make some treats!”

Willow and I just laughed and watched them walk down the path to Mama’s cottage. I put my hand out and looked at Willow, “Ready to get moving? I’m sure you want to change before going.”

She grabbed her painting and put her hand in mine. “Ready as I’ll ever be.”

As we walked hand-in-hand back down to my house, I started to think about some of the things my Mama said. Willow’s hand felt just right in mine. Like it was always meant to be there. We got closer to my house and I turned to look at Willow. Before I could get out what I was feeling, Lilah burst out of my house.

“Thank God! I was about to send a search party after you two!”

I put my hand on Willow’s back and guided her up the stairs. “What are you doing here, Lilah?”

“Mama called me. Now go sit on the couch with Striker while Willow and I have some girl time and get ready for tonight!” She grabbed Willow’s hand and pulled her into the house and back into my room. With the door shut, I grabbed a beer and sat down on the couch next to Striker.

He turned and looked at me with a shit-eating grin on his face. “Get ready for a long fucking night, brother.”

We both laughed as we took a sip of our beer.

An hour later, the door to my bedroom finally opened. Lilah came out first in black leather pants, a flowy white top, and knee-high black heeled boots. Her blonde hair was curled and she had put on some dark makeup that was accented with deep red lips. Striker got up and took her face in his hands and kissed her like there was no tomorrow.

“Dude! Not in my house. Nope. Hands off my baby sister.”

Striker and Lilah pulled apart and just laughed. Lilah put her hands on her hips and pointed at me.“Wait until you see your woman, Mav. She’s fucking hot. You’re gonna wanna do the same to her, trust me.”

As Lilah finished her sentence, Willow came out and took my breath away. Her hair was curled and framed her face just right. Lilah had done the same dark makeup to Willow, but she was wearing a deep purple lipstick; while wearing a tight, black, leather skirt with thigh-high black velvet boots. She wore a black Iron Maiden shirt that was tied on the side so that it showed skin right up to her belly button. Over that, she had on a leather jacket. Willow was fucking hot and I couldn’t hide my growing cock.

Striker’s punch brought me back to reality. “Come on, man. Put that thing away and use your words.”

Willow tucked a little strand of hair behind her ear and blushed. “Is this okay? I can change if it’s too much.”

“NO! I mean no, it’s not too much. It’s just right. Please don’t change. You look...you look amazing.”

She walked up and gazed up at me with lustful eyes, “Thank you, Mav.”

Lilah cleared her throat behind us and we both turned around. “Can we get going you two? Plenty of time for other things later on.” She winked as she grabbed Striker’s ass and headed out the door.

Willow and I headed out the door and to the motorcycles parked in the driveway. I handed her a helmet and threw my leg over the bike. She looked at the helmet and then back at me before putting it on. Willow threw her leg over and straddled the bike. Wrapping her arms tight around me, I revved the engine and followed Striker down the driveway.

Willow laid her head on my back and it took everything in me not to pull over and bend her over on the side of the road. Her little hands around me felt just right. This was going to be the longest night of my life. I was battling my feelings in my heart, with the feelings in my head.
