We emerged back in my store, the bell unfortunately altering everyone of our presence, damn it I was so taking that thing down.
I felt almost every set of eyes in the place on us, particularly a hard glare from Luke who watched intently from the bar. Amy had a shit-eating grin on her face as did Rosie and the girls’.
Cade, still holding my hand, leaned in. “Seems like we’re popular babe.” I turned and glared at him, he smiled back. Man what a smile, I didn’t think he could be any hotter.
“I’ll just chill with the boys.” He glanced to a small group of bikers from last night, most of whom I recognized, including the scary Bull, and Lucky.
“Gwen!” Lucky yelled. “Fuck I thought this thing would be boring as shit, but you got booze and your brownies and a 1st class amount of tail. This is fucking aces.” He took a pull of his beer, looking pretty happy.
“I’m glad that you’re enjoying yourself.” I couldn’t help but smile back at him, his mood infectious.
“Yo, Gwen.” Bull grunted. My heart rate went up a bit, the big man looking far too scary for my liking. Cade somehow noticed my slight panic and squeezed my hand.
“Bull.” I nodded and did an awkward little wave at the other attractive men. “Boys.”
I got a few chin lifts back.
“Well, I better get back to mingling and whatnot.” I stuttered. Shit did I seriously just say the word ‘whatnot’ in front of some serious bad asses? Mortification commence. I started to turn away in embarrassment, but Cade still had hold of my hand. He jerked me back to him kissing me quickly but fiercely on my mouth.
“Later.” He whispered.
I could do nothing but nod, knowing that everyone was well and truly watching. I was feeling thoroughly humiliated. I walked away on unsteady feet, smiling tightly at people I passed. Luckily, Luke had moved away from the bar, to… I don’t know where, I was secretly hoping he didn’t see that little PDA.
I made it to the bar where unfortunately, Rosie, Lucy, Ashley and Amy were all standing, all wearing looks of astonishment and amusement, Amy smiling at me with flat out pride.
“Girl.” Lucy began when I reached them. “That was hot. I mean first Luke comes in looking like he wants to eat you up, then Cade arrives, looking like he is going to straight up murder the Deputy, and then basically drags you out, and I don’t have to guess as to what you two were up to, thanks to that intense lip lock just then.” The girls all laughed, I blushed.
“Amy, Cosmo. Now.” I ordered.
“Alright, alright keep your panties on, oh wait, did Cade already take them off?” She teased.
I picked up a peanut off the bar and threw it at her. She gracefully dodged it, handing me a drink, “Now no need to throw party snacks Gwennie.”
I ignored her taking a long needed sip of my drink.
“Told you my brother would drag you off.” Rosie told me knowingly. “Shit half the male population would drag you off if they had the chance.” she giggled.
“Oh and by the way, since Amy was busy with the bar, and you were, well…otherwise engaged.” She snorted, “I just dealt with a few people wanting to buy stuff, don’t worry I know how to work a till.” She reassured me.
I welcomed the change of subject then had an idea.
“Rosie, you don’t happen to need any work at the moment?” I ventured cautiously, not knowing the protocol in asking Cades sister to work for me.
I needn’t have worried, she squealed clapping her hands. “YES!! I am just doing some hours’ coffee shop, but I am about to die of boredom.”
“I can’t guarantee a lot of hours yet, I’m not sure how busy we will be, but we definitely need a third person.” I replied.
“You are definitely going to busy.” Rosie declared. “We have needed something like this store since like forever and don’t worry I don’t need full time or anything, just whenever you need me, I work part time at the garage for the club, so there’s always something to do there.”
She worked for the club? That was news, maybe I could pick her brain.
“Well, since you are going to be working here, you are going to have to wear all the clothes, so go pick out some more stuff.” I ordered with a grin.
Rosie squealed again and jumped into my arms. “I seriously LOVE you Gwen, this is the fucking shit!” She proceeded to pull away grabbing Lucy and Ashley. “You bitches need to help me choose.” They both shoot me warm smiles before disappearing with Rosie.
I turned towards Amy slightly leaning on the bar.
“Well looks like we have another employee.” I sipped my Cosmo. “I hope you don’t mind me just hiring her without asking you.”
“Mind?” She scoffed. “Fuck no, I’m over the moon, that girl is awesome! Stop trying to change the subject anyway.” She demanded, knowing me too well. “What was that with the two hotties, it was like they were fighting over their shiny new toy, that is a position I wouldn’t mind being in.” She said dreamily.
“Trust me, you wouldn’t want to be in that position, ever.” I told her.
“Whatever, so you have finally decided to give in to the sexy biker?” She asked.
“No not really, but fighting him was getting old, and I figure he’ll have sex with me and lose interest, win win. I mean the last thing I want is a repeat of Jimmy.” Amy glared at me, ready to interrupt but I didn’t let her. “So I have no danger of getting hurt when he taps and gaps since I definitely don’t want more than that, and you said so yourself, I need to get laid.” I finished draining my drink.
Amy considered me a beat. “Sweetie, I think that one wants you for much longer than one night. And you can’t be scared to venture into something new, even though I am the first to be cautious over any guy riding a Harley, but from what I’ve seen he is nowhere near the same as The Prick. By the way, Cade is seriously checking you out right now, maybe leaning on the bar wearing that dress isn’t the best idea.” She laughed.
I didn’t bother to move but glanced over my shoulder in Cades direction, who was indeed checking my butt out with a hungry look on his face.
I straightened. “Whatever, I need to get back to helping out customers and talking to townspeople.” I turned, then looked back at Amy.
“Oh and by the way, I don’t need a ride, I’m leaving with Cade tonight.” She raised her eyebrows.
“Don’t say a word.” I ordered. She poked her tongue out at me then spun to help people at the bar.
The rest of the night was a blur, people starting to leave about 10:30pm. I had done some seriously good sales, so I was pretty pleased with myself. I found to my dismay, Luke hadn’t left, he cornered me not long after my chat with Amy.
“Look Gwen, I know this isn’t the place, but Fletcher is bad news. I won’t say anything else, but I’ll stop by the store this week, we can have coffee.” He decided instead of asking. What was with the alpha males in this town?
I felt Cade’s glare at my back so I didn’t protest, “Yeah sure Luke, sorry about…whatever that was before.” I was genuinely sorry, he seemed like a nice guy.
“No worries sweetheart, see you later.” To my horror he leaned in and kissed my cheek before leaving with a meaningful glare directed at Cade and the boys.
“Crap.” I muttered under my breath, I really didn’t want the town’s first impression of me to be that I was some skank, playing two guys within days of getting here.
I let the last of the guests out, and only me, Amy, Rosie and the small group of bikers were left in the store. I started to clean up, with Rosie and Amy helping. I’m guessing bad ass bikers didn’t clean, because they just sat on the couches by the fitting rooms and talked in hushed tones with serious looks on their faces, Cade shooting me intense glances every now and then.
Just as we had finished, I grabbed two big rubbish bags and started to carry them towards the door, intending to put them in the dumpster at the back.
I felt strong arms take the bags from me. “I’ve got them babe.” Cade told me
.
“Oh so bad ass bikers can’t help clean up, but they can do the lifting?” I shot at him. He smirked back.
I turned to see Rosie and Amy chatting lightheartedly with the rest of the men. I walked over to the little group, putting my hand on Amy’s shoulder, she twisted towards me, letting me into the circle.
“Are you okay to get home?” I asked her with concern, knowing she had one to many Cosmos to drive.
“Yeah girl, Brock here is taking me and Rosie home.” She gave her best seductive look to a very attractive man whom I hadn’t noticed, probably because all of my attention had been on Cade.
He had blonde hair, longish and falling in messy waves around his face. His crooked nose looked like it had been broken a few too many times but he worked the shit out of it. He had tanned skin, was quite lean, but still built, looking almost like a surfer, apart from all the tats covering his arms and creeping up his neck. And air of danger that seemed to waft from all of these men.
“Thanks Brock.” I tried not to drool.
“No problem Gwen.” He smiled at me, looking even more attractive. “Kick ass brownies by the way.”
“Glad you liked them.” I couldn’t help myself but flutter my eyes a little. He was seriously hot.
I felt arms around my middle and pull me back into a hard body.
“Ready to go baby?” Cade whispered in my ear.
“Sure am.” I replied, trying to keep the shaking out of my voice, feeling extremely nervous about being alone with him.
Rosie kissed my cheek, with Cade’s arms still around me.
“Thanks for the great night girl, and the job! I’ll call you tomorrow.”
“Catch you big bro, take care of this one.” She ordered Cade before sauntering out.
Amy blew me a kiss, winked at Cade, then followed Rosie and the men out the door, they all give me and Cade chin lifts as they left, Lucky beamed at me. “Catch you Gwen.” He called cheerfully.
“Bye Lucky.” I waved at him. I really liked that kid.
As they shut the door, I realized Cade and I were alone. He spun me to face him. “Get your shit babe, I’ll get the lights and make sure everything is locked up.”
I frowned at him, pissed at him ordering me around in my store, before I could shoot back a sarcastic statement he spoke again.
“And I appreciate you giving Rosie a job babe, she’s always loved clothes and shit. Didn’t like her job being making coffees and helping round at a dirty garage now and then.” He said sincerely, surprising me.
“I didn’t do it for you, I really like your sister.”
He smiled, giving me a firm kiss. “Thanks all the same.”
I sighed getting my purse and keys and walked towards the front door. After locking up, Cade led me to his bike, which was parked across the street. He grabbed a helmet from a little compartment under the seat and handed it to me, I took it, grumbling about my hair getting messed up, but putting the thing on anyway. He then handed me a jacket.
“Gets fuckin cold on the bike, even in the summer, that dress ain’t going to protect you from much.”
I took the jacket from him and slid it on, savoring in the musky, manly scent that clung to it.
Cade hopped on the bike, I took him in for a second, man he looked good on that thing.
“Well baby hop on.” He ordered.
I glanced from Cade to the bike, trying to figure out how I was going to do this gracefully, oh fuck it. I yanked my dress up, and threw my leg over the bike, resting my heels on the little footholds and leaned into Cade. He turned to me.
“That was fuckin hot baby.” He lay another scorching kiss on my mouth before turning to the front, grasping my hands and pulling them around his body.
He started the bike, I felt it vibrate under me, turning me on even more, and we roared off into the night.
Chapter 5
We rode well out of town, houses beginning to become few and far between. I hadn’t been out this way before, not that I could see much anyway as it was dark. I just enjoyed being pressed up to Cades hard body, and the feeling being on a bike again. I obviously had ridden on a bike before, with The Prick, and I loved the adrenaline rush and the feeling of freedom that came from it. We started to slow down and Cade turned down a driveway. A small house came into sight, a few lights left on. From what I could see in the dim light, it looked like a reasonably sized, well maintained beach house. I knew we were by the sea, the smell of saltwater invaded my senses. A black SUV was parked at the garage, and a surprisingly well kept garden surrounded the front of the house. The bike slowed to a stop behind the SUV and Cade swung off. He held a hand out to me, what a gentleman. I took it climbing off the bike, quickly pulling down my dress, which had ridden up to my waist. Cade walked me to the door, unlocking it, I was interested to see what his house looks like but I didn’t get the chance. As soon as the door shut behind us, Cade pressed me up against it, mouth on mine. I was surprised but quickly gave in to the kiss. His hands roamed over my body and I moaned into his mouth. The urgency between us was frantic, I was desperate to get more from him. He yanked up my dress roughly, hands going to my bum, I wrapped my legs around him and he lifted me. He carried me in what I guessed was the direction of his bedroom, but I was impatient, grinding on his hard body. He obviously couldn’t wait either because he put me down.
“Arms up baby.” He commanded roughly, eyes black.
I immediately complied, raising my arms above my head. He ripped the dress off me and stared at me wearing only my lacey red underwear. His eyes devoured me, and a low growl erupted from his throat.
He shrugged his cut off his shoulders and threw it down beside him, eyes on me the entire time. I put my hands to his shirt, and began to unbutton it, not breaking eye contact. As I got to the last button I pull his shirt down his arms and ran my hands up his stomach.
“Holy shit” I couldn’t help but mutter. He was ripped, I mean eight pack. I thought those were just an urban legend. I wrapped my arms around his neck and hauled him down to me, needing his mouth again. He growled once more lowering me to the floor, his hard body covering mine. His mouth left mine and trailed kisses down my neck, ripping the cup of my bra down he sucked on my nipple, I moaned feeling like I was going to come already. While he sucked on my nipple his hands travelled into my soaking panties and stroked me, I let out a little scream, I had never felt so responsive to anyone before.
Cade lifted his head. “Christ baby you are so wet.” He continued to work his fingers on my clit, fucking my mouth with his tongue. That pushed me over the edge, waves of pleasure erupted in me. I slowly came down feeling shaky and Cade was staring at me.
“Watching you come baby, the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.” His words were low, barely audible.
“Cade, fuck me.” I whispered, and his eyes became almost black. He pulled his jeans down, I heard the rustle of a condom, then I shit you not he rips my panties off. I didn’t realize that happened in real life!
“God baby, this is all I have wanted to do since I laid eyes on you.” He doesn’t say another word he just plunged inside me. I screamed into his mouth, pain and pleasure combining into an intense but amazing sensation.
Cade stopped, looking at me worried, but also pained. “Baby you okay? Did I hurt you?” He bit out, the cords in his neck pulsing from his restraint.
“Don’t stop.” I managed to moan. He immediately listened, pounding into me, filling me completely. He took me urgent and hard. It was the most amazing sex I have ever had, I felt another orgasm building as he continued to plunge into me. I screamed out his name as my insides clenched and pleasure washed over me once more, I heard Cade groan as I milked his release from him. I think I was delirious from pleasure and it took awhile for me to surface. Cade was settled on top of me, bracing himself on his elbows so he wasn’t squashing me. His intense stare burned through me. He didn’t say a word, just picked me up and strolled into his bedroom, laying me down on the bed.
/> “Don’t move.” He commanded
I watched him leave the room and go into what I guessed was the bathroom to take care of the condom. I realized I was still wearing my shoes but nothing else. I felt a bit self-conscious about being this exposed. I was mostly comfortable with my body, but I still felt uneasy about my small breasts during sex. I sat up to take off my shoes just as Cade entered the room, looking beyond sexy in the dim light. He stood naked in front of me frowning.
“Babe, what did I say about moving?”
“I was just taking my shoes off,” I began to argue.
He gently pushed me down on the bed, kissing me senseless, then whispered. “Let me.”
He travelled down my body leaving a trail of fire where he kissed me, leaving out the most important part until he got to my feet. He slowly undid each shoe then slid them off, lifting up my leg and kissing the bottoms of my feet. He travelled back up my body, stopping between my legs looking up at me with savage look on his face.
“Gonna eat you till you come babe, then I’m gonna fuck you, make you come again.”
I was unable to say anything as he settled between my legs and blew my fucking mind. The things he could do with that tongue. As I recovered from another world shaking orgasm, Cade whispered in my ear. “You taste so sweet baby, like honey.”
He reached to beside his bed where he tagged another condom, sliding it on and pushed into me, getting to work on orgasm number four.
I woke up, feeling slightly dazed, registering Cade’s arms tightly around me. I was tucked into his shoulder, my leg thrown over his thighs. The dull morning light was shining through the windows as the curtains hadn’t been drawn. I peeked at Cade, who was still sleeping. God he was attractive, his inky black hair mussed over his face, stubble covering his chin. I gazed down at his body, which was even more jaw dropping in the light of day. His arms were seriously big, not body builder big, like Navy Seal big, muscles built to be used, not paraded around in a gym. Tattoos covered his arms and chest. I moved my head up to study them more closely but Cades arm tightened around me.
