“I’m fine.”
“You might think that, but…”
“You can’t control my life. I make my own decisions.”
“There’s evidence on Dom. And it doesn’t look good. You’re making a big mistake if…”
“What evidence?”
“I... I can’t go into details about it. It’s an ongoing investigation.”
I glare at him. I don’t believe a word of what he’s saying. It’s obvious he’s just making it up as he goes along. I can’t believe that he’s dragging Dominic’s name through the mud and accusing him of such heinous crimes, but then again, I know I shouldn’t be surprised. Lyle is like a snake in the grass, it’s just a shame that I didn’t see his true colors sooner.
“Amy, I... sometimes I still think about us.”
“It’s over, Lyle.”
“I know, but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t care about you. The last thing I want to see is you end up… You have to trust me about Dom. I can’t tell you everything right now, but you just have to trust me.”
“I don’t have to do anything.”
“Did you give any more thought to what I said?”
“About what exactly?”
“Protective custody.”
“Why would I do that?”
“Because Dom is…”
“He’s not like anything you think. You’ve got it all wrong.”
“I wish I did. But the evidence against him. It’s some of the strongest I’ve ever seen. He’s a monster.”
“You can’t expect me to believe that.”
“Amy, I really think it’s for the best if you take me up on the offer of protective custody. The way this investigation is moving, there will be an arrest soon. Then you can come back and…”
“I’m not going anywhere. This is my home. I have nothing to be afraid of.”
“If you won’t do it, then…”
“What?”
“I wouldn’t like this option, but I could take you into protective custody against your will.”
“You wouldn’t!”
“The only thing I want is for you to be safe. That’s what this is all about.”
“Bullshit. I don’t believe a word you’re saying right now.”
“Amy…”
“Get out of here.”
He searches my eyes.
“Go!”
He hesitates for a moment, then he heads toward the door.
“Amy, I really wish you would listen to me on this. Dom is not the guy you think he is.”
I glare at Lyle.
He takes a deep breath and leaves. As he walks out, I replay his words in my mind. The part about taking me into protective custody against my will makes my stomach drop. It takes a minute for me to get my composure. Of all the low things Lyle has done, I hope he wouldn’t go that far.
Chapter Ten
Dom
I ride through the streets of Tomahawk with a lot on my mind. I didn’t get much sleep last night. All I can think about is Amy. I wonder if that bastard Lyle is still lurking around. I really hope she’s safe.
But I’d be lying if I said that these are my only thoughts. Amy has touched something deep inside of me, something I thought had died when Beth disappeared. Now, I feel like I’m on the verge of falling in love again.
It’s a little scary, because the last time I felt this way, I was planning for a future with Beth. Kids. A dog. Maybe even a house with a white picket fence. Okay, the white picket fence might be a bit of a stretch, but I wanted everything else.
Beth meant the world to me. I knew she loved me, but sometimes it just didn’t seem like she was as serious about the relationship as I was. Now, I wonder if I scared her off. That note she wrote… I can still remember every word of it.
The part that stands out to me the most to this day is: “When we met, I thought I could rule the world with you. Dom… Tomahawk is not the world. I need more.”
I was crushed. I still am. I don’t know if that feeling will ever completely go away. But there’s another part of me that wonders if something awful happened to Beth. If that’s true, I feel like I let her down. I should have done more to protect her.
All of these emotions are present as I think about Amy. The first and most important thing is that I don’t want to get hurt again. I know I can’t risk scaring her off. The other thing is that I have to keep her safe. There are a lot of evil forces in the world, and something tells me that Lyle is one of them.
I park my motorcycle across the street from Amy’s house and take a deep breath. Am I coming on too strong? Maybe she’s sick of me popping up unannounced all the time?
I turn off the engine and take a moment to collect my thoughts. Then, I approach her front door. This time, I don’t have carryout from the diner. All I have is me. I hope that’s enough. There’s so much I want to say.
I knock on the door and wait. It seems like a small eternity. Finally, the door swings open. Amy stands there, sipping a cup of tea. She looks gorgeous. Her golden hair tucked behind her ears.
“Hey.”
“Can I come in?”
She hesitates for a moment. I wonder what’s on her mind. I’m not prepared to hear ‘no’.
“Sure.”
I walk inside.
“You want some peppermint tea?”
“No thanks, I... I just wanted to run something by you.”
“What’s that?”
“I’ve been thinking about everything, the whole situation with Lyle, all of it.”
“Me too.”
“Are you okay?”
“I’m a big girl, Dom. I can handle myself.”
“I know. I know that. But that doesn’t stop me from worrying about you.”
“You fuss over me as much as Abel.”
I blink hard. I really don’t want to think about Abel at this moment. I still haven’t confessed to my best friend that I’m head-over-heels for his sister. That’s gonna be an awkward conversation. I’m in no hurry to have it.
“The whole point is that I’m fine.”
“Okay, it’s not just Lyle. There’s a lot of shit going on between the Grizzlies and the Vipers. You have to trust me.”
“I’m well aware of that. I’ve been living in this town my whole life. I don’t have any problems. I stay out of trouble. It’s you that I’m worried about.”
“Amy…”
“Just hear me out for a sec. Lyle is on a mission to get you. He even told me that he has concrete evidence to prove that you had something to do with the disappearance of those women, including Beth. I know you didn’t, but I wouldn’t put it past him to try to pin it on you anyway.”
“Lyle doesn’t scare me.”
“He doesn’t scare me either.”
“But it’s like I said. I’ve been thinking. Maybe it wouldn’t be a bad idea for you to stay in another city until the investigation blows over.”
“I’m not skipping town. You know, that’s what Lyle wanted me to do. Put me in so-called ‘protective custody.’ I’m not going anywhere. Tomahawk is home. Besides, I need to stay right here and help you clear your name.”
Amy puts her tea on the coffee table and paces the floor. I can tell she’s worried. I don’t know if a woman has ever worried so much about me. It makes me feel loved.
I take a step closer to her and look deep into her beautiful brown eyes. Her desire is written on her face.
“Amy, it’s gonna be okay. We’re gonna figure something out.”
“I hope so.”
Before she can say another word, I lean in and kiss her. Her soft lips pressed against mine make my cock stand at attention. I wrap my arms around her and hold her closer.
She slowly pulls away.
“Dom, we really shouldn’t.”
I kiss her again. She lets out a moan. I can tell that she’s turned on. I don’t want her to hold back. I want all of her. I run my fingers through her hair.
Our kiss seems to last a lifetime.
My dick is rock hard now. I’m craving her. I lift up her t-shirt, exposing her red lace bra. In one motion, I unsnap it, revealing Amy’s perky tits and hard pink nipples.
I run my tongue all over them. She sighs and runs her fingers through my hair. I give her nipples gentle little bites. She moans louder. I feel like I’m gonna cum in my boxers.
We head to the couch. I’m on top of her. I unzip her jeans and pull them down. She has on a red lace thong. I yank at it, tearing it right off her. Her pussy is beautiful and pink.
I touch her clit, and she lets out a scream. In her eyes, I can tell how bad she wants me. There are no words for how bad I want her. I work my fingers down to the base of her pussy. It’s soaking wet. I slide my fingers in and out, and she bites her lips and moans.
“Oh my God, Dom!”
I rip off my shirt, jeans and boxers. I never got undressed so fast in my life. We are both completely naked. Her eyes get wide at the sight of my stiff cock. It’s dripping with precum. The way Amy’s turning me on, I can barely take it. I don’t just want to be inside her. I need to be inside her.
She opens her legs wide. I kiss her again, and then I plunge my hard cock into her tight, wet pussy. She screams and holds me closer. I move in and out, never breaking eye-contact with Amy. Her pussy feels like heaven wrapped all around me.
She yells my name over and over and jerks her hips to the motion of my strokes. She wraps her soft thighs around me. Her titties bounce up and down. She bites her lips and closes her eyes.
“Dom, you’re gonna make me cum!”
“I wanna feel it, all over my cock.”
I touch her clit as I thrust harder and deeper. I feel a burst of wetness. She screams and scratches my back. I keep pumping.
“Oh, my God! Oh, my God!”
I slowly pull my cock out of her. It’s covered with her creamy cum. She looks up at me, her eyes pleading.
“Don’t stop.”
“I never wanna stop.”
I slide back into her super wet pussy. She screams and moans. I’m working up a sweat. Amy feels so good, I don’t know how much longer I can last before I nut.
“Amy, I’m about to cum!”
“Cum inside me!”
I look at her. She’s turning me on so much. I close my eyes. My body trembles. I feel a burst of cum explode from deep inside my balls. I pump harder, filling her up with my seed.
“Fuck!”
She looks deep into my eyes. Ribbons of cum burst out of my cock. It feels so damn good. I’m out of breath. It’s almost like I’m in a dream.
I slowly pull out of her. She touches my face. I’m covered with sweat. I kiss her lips and stroke her hair. She looks deep into my eyes and smiles.
“Wow!”
“Wow is right.”
“I can’t believe this just happened.”
“Same here. You were amazing.”
She blushes a little.
“I’m serious, Amy. You don’t understand, I…”
I want to tell her I love her, but I stop before I get carried away.
She playfully smacks my butt and winks at me.
“How about a shower?”
“Sure.”
I nod and follow her into the bathroom. Her tight ass looks amazing. My cock is getting stiff. I already want seconds. I just can’t get enough of her.
A few minutes later, we’re standing underneath the warm shower. I lather up her body with soap. I focus on her breasts, her thighs, her ass, and that amazing pussy of hers.
She touches me all over. She grins at my cock and lathers it up with soap. I’m loving every minute of this. The last time I was in her shower, I jerked off to thoughts of her. Now, I’m on a high because we just made love for the first time.
We share a wet, sexy kiss. I hold her close to me. I never want to let her go. This just feels so right. I’ve dated a few girls since Beth disappeared, but I never cared much about any of them. With Amy, everything is different. I know I’m in love.
We step out of the shower and towel each other off. She’s all smiles. I wonder what’s on her mind. But I don’t want to ruin the moment. I just take in the silent beauty of it all.
“Are you hungry?”
“For you.”
I kiss her.
She giggles.
“No, I mean for food.”
“Oh, I could eat.”
“Really?”
“Yeah.”
I touch her pussy.
She laughs again.
“Cut it out, Dom.”
“You’re incredible. You know that.”
She shrugs.
“I’m serious, Amy. You’re unlike any woman I’ve ever met.”
“I bet you say that to all the band groupies.”
“Groupies? Since when do I have groupies?”
“You should hear how the girls around town talk about you, even at the library.”
“Well, none of them matter because I’ve got the girl I want.”
I wrap my arms around her slender waist and pull her close to me. We kiss again. I run my fingers through her wet hair.
“Are we ever gonna come up for air?”
“Not if I have anything to do about it.”
I kiss her again.
“This was so unexpected. I don’t know what to say, Dom.”
“Just go with it. Live in the moment.”
“I’m not used to living in the moment.”
“I think it’s time for you to start.”
“Okay, so what’s it gonna be, pizza or Mexican takeout?”
“How about both?”
“Both?”
“Yeah, it’s time to live in the moment. Right? Be spontaneous.”
I kiss her again.
At the end of the night, I lay down in bed next to Amy. It feels so good to hold her in my arms. Her skin is so soft. She’s just about perfect.
When the morning comes, I wake up to the sight of her laying across my chest. I can’t help but smile. Amy is the only good thing to come out of all the madness with Beth’s disappearance and Lyle and the MCs. And I never want to lose her.
I kiss Amy’s forehead. She smiles with her eyes closed. This is the happiest I’ve been in what feels like forever.
Chapter Eleven
Amy
I wake up next to Dominic. The sunlight shines on his face. He looks so sexy, I can’t help but kiss him. Morning breath be damned! As our lips touch, I think about how good he feels deep inside me. All of this came out of the blue, but I wish it had happened much sooner.
His hands are all over me. I glance down and see his stiff cock. My pussy is moist at the mere thought of him. We kiss more and more. Then, I glance over at my alarm clock. Shit, I’m gonna be late for work.
“Sorry, Dom. I have to go.”
He holds me closer to him.
“You sure?”
“Later tonight. Okay?”
He smiles and nods.
“You’re the boss.”
I look in his eyes. There’s so much I want to say. What I feel for him goes much deeper than lust. I know I’m falling in love. He’s the first man I let sleep in this bed since Adam died. That’s big. I never thought I could feel this way again, but here I am.
He cuffs my ass with his palms and plants another passionate kiss on my lips. I want him so bad. My nipples are hard. My mind is racing. I don’t even know how I’m going to concentrate at work today.
“You’re trying to make me late, aren’t you?”
He smirks.
“Can you blame me?”
I’m still in awe of how we ended up in bed together. Since that night we kissed, I always wanted him. Now, it feels like a dream come true. Dom really took me by surprise, and I mean that in the best possible way.
I climb out of bed and force myself to stay focused on getting out the door. Dom is such a sexy distraction. If I keep fooling around with him, I know I’ll end up fired.
