Page 21 of Justice's Reward
“There’s a wooded area between my mom’s house and my aunt’s. I thought I’d show you some stuff from my childhood,” he said.
Once they reached the wooded area, Justice led her into the center, where thereweren’t quite as many trees, and where their secret clubhouse was.
“What? No sign that girls aren’t allowed?” Adley asked.
Justice chuckled. “Yeah, we got rid of that sign when we went through puberty. In fact, if you promise not to tell Pit I told you—I’ll tell you a secret.”
Adley crossed her heart and mimed zipping her lips.
“Pit lost his virginity in the clubhouse,” Justice said.
Adley scrunched up her nose. “It doesn’t look very clean.”
Justice guffawed and slapped his thigh. “I don’t think at sixteen, Pit cared about a little dirt.”
“What about you? When did you lose yours?” Adley asked.
“Back seat of a Mustang with my prom date. We were both sixteen. Quickest sex of my life. Looking back, I feel really sorry for girls when it’s the guy’s first time. We know nothing about pleasure. It’s all just about coming,” Justice said.
He turned toward Adley, sliding his hand around her neck. “I didn’t bring you here for sex, but I did bring you here to taste those lips of yours that have been calling to me for months. I figured here was the only chance I’d have to kiss you and not have someone interrupt us,” he said.
Adley stared at him, then smiled. “What are you waiting for?”
“You saying you want it too. You’ve flipped me off a lot when I’ve asked you out. In the bright light of day, I want you to say I can kiss you,” Justice breathed, millimetersfrom her lips. He waited for Adley to choose him. To choose them.
“Kiss me, Justice. Make all those times I’ve imagined your lips on mine pale in comparison,” she breathed.
Adley trembled against him, and Justice touched his lips to hers. He’d kissed plenty of women, but this time, with Adley, it was different. There wasn’t a lightning bolt. Just a sureness that he’d come home and Adley was where he’d find his forever. Not very manly for a biker, but maybe it was just what he needed—Adley’s softness and strength to complement his strength and hardness.
Each touch, each taste of her had him falling deeper. He’d planned only a kiss, and he was sticking to it. Unfortunately, his cock wasn’t getting the message and was pulling every last bit of blood to hisgroin. Adley’s hands grasped his biceps as he pulled her closer, touching and tasting the woman who had changed his expectations.
Is this how love felt? An all-consuming need to please Adley and make her his? It was different from the love he had for his son or his mom, but Adley had burrowed her way into his heart. Her strong, fierce need to help others, coupled with her personality, lit a fire in him unlike anything he’d known before. Sliding his hand down to cup her butt and squeeze a handful had her pressing her torso against him. Her curves plastered against his front, and his very hard cock wasn’t helping him to keep his wits about him. He wanted to carry Adley over to that tree, strip off her shorts, and lift her until he could get inside her.
He was breathing heavily when he pulled away, trying to convince himself that he wasgoing to wait until they’d spent more time together.
He swallowed and stared at Adley. Her slumberous eyes said she was every bit as on board as he was.
“Woman, you pack a punch. I’m trying to remember I promised we were just here to get to know each other and kiss,” he said, blowing out a breath.
Adley giggled, and she was even more beautiful when she did. His phone buzzed in his pocket. He pulled it out and rolled his eyes.
“Duty calls. Pit and Ariel have arrived early. I’d planned on us talking and getting to know each other, along with some kisses. It seems like that’s not going to happen.”
Adley jumped up and down. “Yay, I can’t wait to hold the baby, and besides, anticipation heightens the experience,” she said,grabbing his hand and pulling him back toward the clubhouse. He was one lucky bastard to have found Adley.
Adley finally got to hold little Teddy. He was smaller than Ian, but then Ian was about eight weeks older than him. She could imagine Teddy and Ian growing up like Justice said he, Tack, and Pit had.
Her sister had been making faces at her to put the baby down and go outside. Adley was positive Macy wanted to grill her about what had happened between her and Justice. When they’d walked back in, Macy hadmouthedJustice and Adley sitting in a treeto her. Seriously, they were grown women.
Ariel was sitting beside Adley on the couch, lying back with her eyes closed.
“I’m sure we can all watch Teddy if you want a nap,” Adley offered.
Ariel’s eye cracked open. “I’m waiting until the order from the restaurant gets here. Is it bad I want to gorge on the cheese and bacon fries since I now don’t have someone compressing my stomach and everything else?”
“I don’t think so. What else are they sending? Pit’s is my favorite restaurant to eat at,” Adley said. And since she and Justice were maybe in a relationship, she wouldn’t need to be hiding from him anymore. Adley would have to trust Justice and his club to not be like the one she’d grown up in. Untilhe gave her a reason to doubt him, she was going to let things progress.
“Ribs, brisket, smoked sausage, chicken, turkey, coleslaw, and dessert. I so want something sweet,” Ariel said.
