Page 15 of Aftershock's Fury

“Okay,” she says breathlessly, nodding as a smile tugs at her lips.

I release her and step back.

“Damn, that was hot,” a throaty voice says. I look over to see her boss standing at the kitchen entrance.

“Momma, who’s that?” her daughter asks softly from her arms.

“I don’t know, Oly.”

“I’m Aftershock. She’s mine.” I point to Harlowe, then turn to glare at the gym rat. He isn’t even as big as I am. I could bench press twice what he can. His eyes harden before he turns and walks out.

“Shock, what time?” Harlowe asks.

Her using my road name pisses me off. I reach for her hand and direct her along the counter until she’s standing in front of me with nothing between us.

“Starlight, you call me Crue, never Aftershock,” I growl against her lips. Every time mine brush hers, I get closer to losing control.

She licks her bottom lip, and her tongue touches my lips. My control snaps.

I pull her into my body with one arm, my other hand sliding to the back of her head, messing up her bun as I tip her head back and take her lips in a deep, dominating kiss. My tongue touches hers, and I groan as she wraps around me. She was made to be mine, and I was made for her.

Our lips and tongues dance over each other. My cock hardens in my jeans, and her erect nipples press into my chest where my vest slid open from her hands.

I finally pull back, and her lips are swollen, her eyes dreamy.

“Perfect, Starlight.”

“Crue, what time?” she asks again.

“I’ll be there at ten so we can set out early. Dress warm.”

“Okay.”

“Get Kodiak to watch Fezzik.”

“I will.”

I turn away before I’m tempted to throw her over my shoulder and take her out to my bike. Tomorrow is Saturday, and since the bakery is closed every other Saturday, she’ll be all mine, wrapped around my body on my bike.

I’m almost to the door when she stops me in my tracks.

“What changed your mind about dating me?”

I don’t turn around because I know I’m not that strong.

“You’ve had enough time to get to know your brother. It’s my turn now.”

I open the door and walk out to my bike, adjusting myself before throwing a long leg over the seat and putting my helmet on. I have a jobsite I need to be at. I take off, thinking about her being mine soon.

Harlowe

Iwatch him leave. My body still hums from his kiss and claiming.

“You know I’ve seen the guys outside watching you, but I had no idea you were dating one of them.” Marnie’s voice breaks me from my thoughts.

I can’t hide the smile when I turn around. A flush warms my skin. “I wasn’t. But I guess I am now.”

“Dang, girl. All it took was Jerry coming over and talking to you. I need a kiss like that to remind me that not all men are assholes.”
