“Thanks,” he said softly.
She could tell he wasn’t being conceited. He just seemed to accept her compliment.
Grunting again, he closed his eyes and groaned again, “What the fuck happened to me? Why is every inch of me in pain?”
She swallowed hard as she looked him over. There was so much more of him than she figured on. “That would be my fault. I hit you and you went flying one way as your bike went flying the other and I’m so sorry.” She was babbling and she knew it but she couldn’t stop. “I mean, I didn’t do it on purpose. I just didn’t see you until it was too late. Then I had no choice but to bring you here...”
Chapter Two
Apollo shook his head as her babbling was giving him a headache, so he did the only thing he could think of to shut her up. He reached up to grab her neck and pulled her down to crush her lips under his. A jolt of power went through them both and Apollo deepened the kiss.
It took a moment for her to break away from him as she just stared down at the man. “What the hell?” she whispered.
Apollo growled and pulled her to him again.
The second kiss went on and on and when he finally pulled away from her, they both needed air. “Fuck me little one, what the hell did you do to me?”
She raised her hand to her mouth slowly. Touching her lips, as her fingers trembled...she leaned in for more, then stopped herself by jerking back.
Neither of them said a word as they stared at each other.
Apollo frowned as he realized what he had just been doing. He wasn’t one to rob the cradle and this chick looked young. “How old are you girl?” he demanded.
“Old enough,” she whispered as she stared at him in awe.
Apollo let out a long breath and opened his mouth to ask again about her age.
Her phone pinged with an incoming message.
His eyes narrowed on her when he saw her begin to tremble again. He could almost smell the fear coming off her in waves and he barked, “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing.” She jerked bit at his tone as she went to wipe off the dirt from his face with the washcloth.
He reached up and grabbed her hand. “That’s bullshit and you know it. What’s wrong?” he demanded.
“Look I’m trying to help you, okay? If you don’t need it, then I’m out of here. I have miles to go before I can get where I need to be, so I can’t afford to stay in one place for too long. The room is paid for and checkout is noon tomorrow. I’m sorry I wrecked your bike but I got to go. I swear I only took my eyes off the road for a second.” She got up.
Apollo grabbed her hand and pulled her down to the bed again.
She looked into his eyes and biting her lips, she begged him, “Please let me go. I really need to be gone.”
“I can’t let you disappear on me baby girl,” he told her. “I’ve never felt something like that before and I can’t lose it.”
She frowned slightly. “Never felt what?”
He groaned then brought her closer. “This.” He crushed her lips under his again, and this time, she leaned into the kiss. Apollo hauled her closer and then she found herself laying on top of him, as he seemed to swallow her whole. He broke the kiss and began nibbling on her jaw and down her neck.
“Oh w-what—are you d-doing to me?” she whispered to him. Even the touch of his lips on her skin set fire to her blood.
“This is what I’m not giving up,” he murmured in her ear.
“Mmmm. Ok.” She groaned as his lips found her artery as his tongue licked her skin.
His body was hard beneath her and she wiggled around on top of him. He hissed and clamped his hand down on the small of her back. “Little girl, if you don’t want to be taken right now you best slow your roll,” he warned her harshly as he shifted her so she could feel what she was doing to him. He watched, as her eyes got huge in her small face.
She looked down at him in awe. Then she ground her hot wet core against him.
Apollo hissed. “Look, you need to stop. You are lighting a match here.”
She raised her hands around his face. “Are you going to hurt me?”
“Hell no.” He stared into her eyes. “Why would I do that?”
“I-I saw your umm...vest. You’re a biker right?”
He narrowed his eyes at her. “Yeah, but I’m more than that. My mama raised me to avoid hurting women.”
She bit at her lip. “I... I have no joy in my life and haven’t for a long while. I want to do this. I need to. My life may end soon and to not know what real passion is like...That would be just sad.”
He blinked his eyes. “You’re young, why would you feel like—”
She pressed her fingers over his lips. “Please.” She pushed her core down on his cock again.
Apollo groaned and pressed her even harder down on his cock. “Are you sure?”
“God, yes.” She whimpered.
He rolled her over on her back and closed his eyes as his head was swimming. He tried to focus. What the hell was he doing? He didn’t even know this chick’s name.
Pausing a moment, she stared at him. The she tried to push him off of her. “I forgot you’re hurt. Damn, I’m sorry.” She cried.
He flopped over on his back and she tried to get up but he wasn’t letting her go. “I just need a minute, baby girl.”
She got out of bed and went to grab the washcloth again. “Let me see what damage there is, okay?”
Apollo gave her a slow smile. “So do I need to undress for that?”
She giggled. “You might need to.” She kept cleaning his face then she grabbed another wet washcloth and cleaned his neck. “Yep. We have to remove your shirt.
Apollo snickered and slowly sat up. He winced a bit as he went to take his vest off. He found he was too weak. He suddenly toppled over on the bed.
Gasping, moved closer, and managed to turn him over. “Ok. No more fun. Let me clean you up a bit and give you some aspirin.” She helped him get his vest and then his shirt off. Then she gasped.
He looked up and asked. “What? Am I bruised? I mean I don’t think I’m bleeding.”
She smoothed the washcloth over his neck and down his chest. “No, it’s just that I’ve never seen skin like yours, not up close anyway.”
He chuckled. “I got the same skin as everyone else, little girl. It is just kissed by chocolate more than most.”
“No, I didn’t mean the color. While that is beautiful...It’s the way it feels.” She ran her fingers over his pecs.”
“Damn, Baby...You have a soft touch.” He raised up to grab her fingers. “But your touch is making me hard.”
Her eyes rounded. “Oh...”
He raised up intending to pull her down for another kiss, but he just felt too tired and his arm dropped. Apollo laughed a little breathless. “If anyone saw this, I would never live it down. Passing up a fine girl like you cause I...” His voice faded away as he closed his eyes and went out like a light.
Apollo opened his eyes. Staring up at the unfamiliar ceiling, it took him a couple of minutes to remember where he was and why. He felt better but still a bit groggy.
The sweet girl from earlier was just coming out of the bathroom. She halted when she saw he was awake. “I was worried. I mean I couldn’t find a lump on your head but they say not to let anyone sleep if they have a head injury.”
He smiled. “Nah, I got a hard head. It was just the pain from the toss I took.” He patted the bed.” Come on over. I wanna talk to you.”
She bit at her lip and came over.
“Sit.” He patted the bed.
She did so.
“So we almost jumped into bed, a bit ago.”
She batted her eyes at him. “Yeah, we almost did.”
He stared at her. “You know nothing about me. Why would you do that?”
She stared at him. “I-I well... you don’t come off as the serial killer type.”
He laughed a bit. “I’m not, but you shouldn’t be taking chances l
ike that. It ain’t safe.”
Her eyes narrowed at him. “I’ve been taking care of myself for some time now.”
He raised his hands up. “Now, don’t be getting’ all upset. I mean we don’t even know each other’s names.”
“I’m Kitty.”
He paused and looked her up and down. “And you are a fine kitty at that.”
Her face went pink.
He thought it was adorable and he chuckled. “I’m Apollo.”
She blinked at this. “Yeah, that fits, for sure.”
Sitting up, he moved closer to her. “That kiss...”
She slowly nodded. “Yeah...that was like fireworks.”
He stared at her. “I’ve kissed my fair share of women and that hasn’t ever happened.”
She cocked her head at him. “Well, I haven’t kissed but like two men, so I guess I wouldn’t know.”
He reached out and grabbed a tendril of her hair. “Why were you so upset before? I mean about the text on your phone. I saw you crying and you seem so afraid.”
Her face paled a bit and she shook her head. “I don’t want you involved. I mean I already hit you with my car. I don’t want you hurt.”
His eyes rounded at her. “I’m not easy to hurt or kill, girl.”
“Well, my car tried really hard to, so I believe you.”
He chuckled.
“I-I do have to go though. I didn’t leave when you were passed out, ‘cause I did not want to until I knew you were okay.”
“Well, what if I said I’m not okay?”
She stared at him. “You look better.”
“Yeah, but maybe I’ll get dizzy and...” He peeked at her.
She laughed and smacked his arm.
“No really. You got somewhere you need to be in such a hurry?” Apollo stared at her.
“Anywhere,” she muttered. “Anywhere safe.”
“What does that mean?” he asked as he studied her face.
She rose up. “Look. Gosh, I really like you... And that’s why I gotta go.”
He sat up and grabbed her arms. “I can help you.”
Shaking her head, tears formed in her eyes.
“Why not?” he asked. “You don’t have to face whatever it is alone.”
Tears now spilled from her eyes. “Yes, I do. I-I’m sorry about your bike. Maybe I can call your friends sat your club to come get you?”
Chapter Three
This was it. Apollo reasoned. He could let her walk out of here and into whatever danger was after her. Or, he could... He rose up and grabbed her. Like before when she’d babbled, he thought another kiss might induce her to change her mind.
He palmed her creamy cheeks and titled her face up, then lowered his lips and kissed her gently.
Instantly, her arms rose up to encircle his neck. Naturally, like she had always been doing it.
He tugged her close and raised her up until her small feet left the floor. Then he delved his tongue in. His body went hard immediately and the flavor of her burst upon his senses. Deeping the kiss, she wrapped her legs around him. He was lost to sensation. Her small but curvy body fit him so well.
The breathless kiss went on... then he broke it.
Kitty looked dazed and she gave him a lopsided smile. “Wow...”
He nodded. “Yeah, wow.” He agreed, this little girl almost made his knees knock. “Do we want to miss out on this?”
She stared into his eyes. “I’ve missed out on too many things...”
He felt her sadness and wondered. He wondered all kinds of things about this girl. “So, I figure we know each other better now.”
She stared up at him and then giggled. “Yeah...”
He set her down and watched her. “I have never forced any woman to be with me. So, I’ll leave this up to you.” He stepped back.
Her sweet face pinked again, then she gave him a firm nod. She stepped over to the bed and began tearing her clothing off.
Apollo watched her for a moment then he tugged his jeans down. When he got them all the way down along his meaty thighs, his cock stood straight out, large, thick and long. He went over and laid down on the bed, intending to let her lead this.
Her eyes had widened as she viewed his thick meat. But he could see awe in her eyes as well. She climbed up on the bed and over to him. He had to wonder why she couldn’t take her eyes off him but when she got close to him, he watched as she reached out to touch him. Her hands were so small she couldn’t get her fingers all the way around his cock but her touch felt so good.
Then she climbed over top of him and put her hot core over him. He could feel her wetness and he rubbed her over his cock. Her cream coated him and he groaned at the feeling. He took her breasts in both his hands. “Just so damned sweet,” he whispered and suckled on a pink nipple while playing with the other. Then he switched and tasted the other. “So delicious.”
She was panting already and squirming on him.
Grabbing her hips, he positioned her, so she would be able to feel him at her entrance. He began pushing inside her. “Damn girl, you’re tight. I don’t wanna hurt you, maybe we should—”
“No...Please don’t stop. I need this so much,” she whispered as he filled her. She rose and sank down pushing more of him inside her. She looked down at where they were connected and gasped. The color contrast between them amazed her, it was so starling, but so beautiful.
He pushed a little harder and she threw back her head while moaning at the pleasure he was giving her. He grasped her hips and slammed her down on him. When she screamed, he frowned. When he saw her tears, he wondered if he had hurt her. “Are you okay, baby?” he asked her softly.
“Y-yes I’m okay,” she whispered back. Then she began to move and the pleasure returned. “Oh god, I’m more than okay now.”
Apollo knew he was large and she probably just wasn’t used to it, but he was feeling the pull too. He couldn’t help himself as he moved her up and down on his cock. He was quickly losing control as she wrapped herself around him like a slick, velvety glove. His fingers dug into her hips, as he couldn’t seem to slow himself down any.
All he did care about was how she fit him so well. He sank deeply up into her and she took his whole length. He groaned at how good she felt. Then she moved again and he slammed her down on him again. He couldn’t seem to stop and he was losing control.
“Yes,” she cried out as she neared the crest of the abyss. She ground her clit against him and then she ignited as she flew over the edge.
Apollo felt her go and couldn’t hold back any longer. He slammed her down and flooded her with his seed.
When they both finished, she fell on top of him in exhaustion.
He wrapped his arms around her and just held her.
Touching her tongue to his bare skin, she tasted his sweat and his aroma surrounded her making her lightheaded. His scent was woodsy and spicy and it swirled around her. “Wow, that was better than I ever thought it could be,” she whispered against his belly.
“Yeah, it was...” Then Apollo paused. “Wait a minute, what do you mean thought it could?”
Kitty swallowed hard. “Nothing, I need a shower.” She scrambled up from him and headed to the bathroom.
Apollo’s eyes narrowed at the smear on her thigh and she ducked into the bathroom before he could call her on it, then as she closed the door, he looked down at his now soft cock and saw what he never expected to see.
The blood of an innocent. He growled as he sat up. His head still hurt but it was better now. He swung his legs over the side of the bed. He marched into the bathroom and opened the shower.
Kitty squealed as she turned and tried to cover her body. Then her eyes widened as she took him all in. “Wow,” she whispered.
“Like what you see baby girl?” he asked her with a smile.
She nodded but didn’t say anything. All she could do was lick her lips.
Apollo chuckled then stepped under the water. He groaned as the hot stream eased
his aches and the pain of hitting the highway. He reached for the soap.
Kitty opened the door to leave but Apollo did not intend to let her go. He closed the door gently and when she turned to cock her head at his action, he said, “We have to talk.”
Kitty shook her head. “Since when do people talk in the shower?” she snapped.
“Since the days of Apollo, little brat.” He grinned down at her.
Kitty looked determined. “Well, we don’t need to. I should get back on the road.”
“No, I don’t think so, baby girl.” He growled. “You aren’t going anywhere until I have some answers.”
“What kind of answers?” she fired back.
“Well, the first one would be why did you agree so easily to sleep with me?” he asked.
Kitty snorted. “Are you kidding me?” She motioned up and down at his body. “I used your body because I wanted you. You should be used to that. You’re beautiful.”
Apollo grinned. “Yeah, I know I am but that doesn’t tell me why you just gave me your virginity.”
“You didn’t ask if I was one.” She pointed out as she stared down at the floor of the shower.
He reached out and lifted her head with his finger. “That’s my bad. I really should have thought it out better. But I was just hit by a car and I was hurt. Then I open my eyes and see an angel looking back at me. When I touched you, I felt something pass between us and I was working off the electricity between us. I’ve never felt that before, didn’t even know it was real before I met you. I felt it and I think you did too.”
She nodded. “I’ve never felt it before either. But with you, I needed more. I needed the moment with you even if it’s only ever just that one time. But I’m no whore.”
Apollo snorted. “I know that. You gave me the most precious gift a woman can give a man. I’m only sorry that I didn’t know beforehand. I woulda been more careful of you.”
