“I know, I thought about it and decided it was worth your peace of mind.”
Jake’s handsome face parted in a gentle smile and her heart soared. However, it was cut short when her father’s voice barked from his desk. “Jake! What took you?”
Jake winked at Michelle, bringing a hot flush to her cheeks, and strode into her father’s office and closed the door subtly behind himself.
What was a man like Jake doing working for her father?
“I love it here!” JJ exclaimed, his eyes bright as he looked around at all the bike memorabilia lining the walls of the reception room where Michelle spent most of her time working as her father’s secretary. For no pay.
“It does look cool,” Michelle agreed, though she wasn’t able to reciprocate JJ’s enthusiasm. She had really begun to hate everything about the MC, at least with her father in charge. More and more shady men had been frequenting the halls as of late, and her father had been a very busy man, arranging meetings in different places and being very secretive about all of it. It made Michelle wonder just what he was up to.
“Can we play secretary?” Mary asked. “I want to sit in that chair with the phone.”
Michelle pursed her lips. “I’m not sure that the president would like that very much. Maybe we can just play with these for a little while.”
Michelle walked to the desk and rummaged through it until she retrieved a small collection of pristine motorcycle models. Her father gifted them to her every once in a while, though she had little interest in them. She had begun shoving them into the desk without removing them from the boxes and was glad they now had a purpose other than collecting dust and taking up space.
“Cool!” Mary exclaimed. Michelle grinned as the kids tore into the boxes, and soon they were occupying themselves on the floor of the reception room, waiting patiently for their father to come back out of the office.
It seemed to take an oddly long time before Jake finally arrived, and Michelle’s heart palpitated involuntarily when Jake appeared in the doorway, looking as handsome and confident as she had ever seen him. Her father, on the other hand, looked irate, but said nothing as Jake closed the door behind himself.
“What were you talking to the president for?” JJ asked, speeding down a row of chairs with a flashy red bike searing across the cushions.
“Yeah!” Mary exclaimed, following with a smaller, purple motorcycle.
“Just business stuff,” Jake said. “It’s boring.”
“Oh,” JJ said, not looking up from his toy.
“I’m going to have to get to work soon. Your father said you would show us where to stay.”
“Is that all he said?” Michelle asked, raising an eyebrow. Jake grinned at her and desire electrified her body. It was strange in a way how much she wanted him.
“And then some,” Jake said, his grin turning into an outright smile. “I’m starved though. Maybe you can show us where we’ll be hanging out for the next few days.”
Jake reached outside the reception hall and lifted a big duffel bag onto his broad shoulder. It was packed to the brim and looked really heavy, but he was strong enough that he made it look light as a feather. Michelle remembered how he had lifted her in much the same way, and another pulse of longing surged through her body.
“Right. We should put you in the more quiet area, away from the bikers. They’re a bit rowdy at night. I don’t want it to keep the kids awake.”
“That makes sense,” Jake agreed, following behind Michelle. “Come on, kids.”
“You can bring the toys with you,” Michelle called over her shoulder. Most adults would have told them to be careful, but those were guilt gifts from her dad. She didn’t care if they dropped them off the roof of the building, so long as someone had fun with them.
“Yay!” The kids cheered as Michelle led them down the long, winding hallway and up a flight of stairs. What Jake didn’t know was that she was taking them to the private quarters that had been reserved for Michelle. She wondered if Jake would protest if he knew. And although she had been honest about keeping the kids in a quiet, peaceful area, the truth was that she wanted Jake closer to her. He was the only person in the world who had ever made her feel safe.
“Here we are,” Michelle said, unlocking the door and stepping inside. It was a huge apartment, with a loft upstairs and two bedrooms on the bottom. It came equipped with a full kitchen and bathroom. Michelle supposed most people would feel lucky to be the president’s daughter, with such a nice space to call her own. But the truth was that she had always hated it. Still, it was a comfortable place to call home. That was all that mattered.
“This is huge,” Jake exclaimed. “I didn’t even know this was here.”
“It takes up the whole fifth floor,” Michelle said. “My dad let me soundproof the place so I wouldn’t have to listen to the asshole bikers when they get drunk.”
Jake looked hard at her and she blushed down at the ground. She had almost forgotten that he, too, was a rowdy asshole biker with a strong penchant toward alcohol. Or at least, he had been before he had his kids. Who knew how much partying he did now?
“Sounds like the least he could do,” Jake finally said, letting her off the hook. She sighed in relief.
“What do you guys think?” Michelle asked, turning to the kids. “Big enough for a slumber party for a few days?”
“Yeah!” the kids exclaimed. Michelle smiled and walked into the kitchen to prepare them all something to eat.
Jake stood awkwardly, looking down the hall at the two bedrooms.
“Which one should we…?”
“Oh, you can use both. I sleep in the loft on the other side.”
Jake held her gaze for a moment, the electricity crackling between them. He finally turned away with a grin and a nod, making her heart thud hard in her chest. God, she wanted him. The first time had only whetted her appetite for his body. Did he have any idea how many times she had laid in that loft and mulled over every detail of the way he had touched and pleasured her? She would have given anything to have him in her bed with her on those nights. Now that he was actually there, in her apartment, she didn’t know what she would do.
And so, she did the only thing she could do, and worked on making Jake and his kids some lunch.
Chapter 17
Jake fingered the key to Michelle’s apartment as he walked slowly up the steps of the MC. It was funny that she had been hidden away up there, all this time. He had almost let himself believe that Kent had his own home somewhere away from the huge building he had bought for the Python’s base. It was kind of surprising knowing that Michelle and her father lived separately, though in the same building. Maybe they just couldn’t stand each other. The thought wasn’t too hard to believe.
He hesitated before pushing the key into the lock and letting himself inside. The room was dark, all but a golden glow coming from behind the curtains of Michelle’s loft, and a light left on over the stove and in the bathroom for the kids in case they needed it in the night.
“You’re back,” Michelle said quietly. Jake’s heart thudded in surprise and he whipped around to face her. It was strange having her so close to him after so long. His desire for her had consumed him again and again at the most inconvenient times of the day. He only hoped that he would be able to behave himself. The last thing his kids needed would be to find him screwing the babysitter.
“Yup,” Jake replied, swallowing hard. “I’m back.”
He stared at her helplessly. She was dressed in a satin nightgown that was clinging to her in all the right places. It was surprisingly short, showing off her long, beautifully shaped legs. She looked down shyly as his eyes studied her from bottom to top, against his will, until finally he made it to her beautiful, pure face. Why was it that young women always looked so goddamn innocent? And what kind of a person did it make him to want her all the more because of it?
“Did everything go okay?” Michelle asked quietly.
“Yes, of c
ourse. Always does,” Jake said. “As long as I’m still breathing by the time I get home.”
“I know you probably didn’t want to stay here. I’m sorry I had my dad push you into this,” Michelle said, running her hand through her hair. The worry on her face made Jake want to kiss it right off of her. “It’s just…”
“Hey, you don’t need to explain yourself, sweetheart,” Jake said, gripping her arm and pulling it away from her face. He held it and stared seriously at her. “You care about the kids. And we care about you, too. So don’t think anything of it, all right? I’m glad to be here with you.”
He could feel her body surrendering to his touch, and he tightened his grip around her arm and grabbed her around the waist. He had told himself that he wouldn’t do this. Not now…not with the kids right in the other room. But how could he help himself?
Michelle parted her lips, an invitation he took up immediately. His body was filled with warmth as he pressed her against it, soaking up every tickle of her hair on his skin and the heat of her curves against his abdomen. He was hard the second her tongue touched his, and he devoured her sweet lips, letting his hands roam the inviting thinness of her satin nightgown.
She tensed up against him and gasped softly as his hand roamed over her ass, and she laid her head against his shoulder as she felt his cock press hard against her middle.
“It’s okay,” Jake whispered, slowly unzipping his jeans and releasing his beast from its confines. “Daddy’s got you.”
He slipped his hand between Michelle’s thighs, pleasantly surprised to find that she wasn’t wearing anything beneath the nightgown. The idea that she had been waiting for him, for this, brought a rush of blood to his cock, and it swelled nearly to the point of bursting. He lifted the nightgown gently up so that his swollen head could take refuge in her welcoming heat.
Without thinking twice, he lifted her easily onto the island separating Michelle’s kitchen from her living room, and bliss overpowered him as he slipped gently inside of her, his cock massaged by every fold of her most intimate space. She shuddered against him as pleasure seemed to sweep through her body, and her soft hands gripped his biceps as her mouth searched for his in the darkness.
He allowed her to find it, kissing her tenderly as he began to rock his hips back and forth, allowing his cock to disappear deeper into the trenches of heat inside Michelle’s body. Tendrils of pleasure made their way up his shaft and to his abdomen, where the heat he felt for Michelle grew into a passionate, uncontrollable fire that he couldn’t extinguish.
She gasped softly against his broad chest, her nipples hard and scraping against his abdomen as she took him in fully. They had both been wanting, waiting, and denying themselves for so long. And for what? Why deny what felt so fucking right?
Jake’s cock pulsed inside of Michelle, and his hips began to pick up the pace. He wouldn’t deny himself any longer. And it seemed cruel to leave Michelle writhing and wanting when he knew he could deliver more power, more heat to her body.
Michelle threw her head back in ecstasy as Jake began moving himself in earnest, an urgent, desperate longing to cum hard inside this sexy young girl driving him to the brink of his self-control. Nothing mattered now but the feeling of her body enveloping him, pleasuring him beyond anything he had ever allowed himself to experience before. He had never before felt such a need.
A low groan escaped Michelle’s lips, and he buried his mouth over hers to stifle her sounds. He wouldn’t stop now. They couldn’t wake the kids. This was their time.
He could feel the hot searing tingle building in his abdomen as his cock was tested again and again to hold back. He wouldn’t release until he felt Michelle giving in to her desires. Only then would he show her what it felt like to truly be taken care of by a man.
“Fuck,” Michelle whispered, her self-control waning. Jake buried himself hard inside of her, and she gasped again, her breasts bobbing to the rhythm of Jake’s thrusting. He gripped her nipple in his teeth through the silk of her nightgown and she hissed in pleasure. He felt her opening for him, the contractions of her orgasm just beginning to squeeze the ever-loving Christ out of his cock.
“That’s right,” Jake growled into her ear. “Daddy’s going to take good care of you now.”
Michelle cried out in shock as Jake unleashed his full power, thrusting hard again and again as her body began to tremble and quake beneath his touch. He grunted as he began to erupt inside of her, a hot, sudden explosion that left both of them gasping for mercy as Jake worked his body hard until they had both received every last bit of pleasure they possibly could have.
Jake slowly pulled out of her and kissed her lightly on the lips. Michelle closed her eyes and hugged him tightly to her. The poor thing had been through so much. All she really needed was somebody to take care of her.
“Don’t worry,” Jake whispered into her hair, kissing the top of her head over and over again. “I won’t let anything happen to you.”
Michelle looked up at him, her eyes glassy with unshed tears.
“I know,” she whispered, kissing him on the cheek. “Good night.”
He watched as she climbed into her loft and the curtains fell behind her, leaving the silhouette of her body outlined and still in the golden light.
Chapter 18
The apartment had never felt more alive than it did with Jake and his kids there. Jake was always coming and going, and Michelle was under the impression that her father really loved having him living at the MC. JJ and Mary were enjoying their time away from school, though Jake had been diligent about going to retrieve their homework assignments so they wouldn’t get behind in their work.
“Michelle is really smart!” Mary said one afternoon when her father strode inside.
Jake’s handsome eyes flickered onto Michelle and a small, private smile creased his lips and warmed her heart. How was it that he always managed to make her feel so beautiful and so desired?
“You don’t say!” Jake said, winking at Michelle.
“Hey!” Michelle said.
The kids giggled and Jake put on an expression of mock surprise. “What?”
“She knows everything about reading!” Mary continued, ignoring her father’s theatrical shrug. She found it very important to inform him of Michelle’s intelligence.
“Is that right?” Jake asked.
“Yeah!” Mary exclaimed. “I want her to be my teacher!”
“I thought you liked Mr. Farkas!” JJ said. “He was my teacher, too!”
“No. I like Michelle more. I want her to teach me everything!”
Jake gazed at Michelle for a moment, and she felt her heart thud hard. If she and Jake were able to make their relationship official, maybe she would be able to teach Mary all kinds of things. But it was better not to let her mind go there. Still, the look on Jake’s face was compelling. Were they both thinking the same thing?
“Well, you’re going to have to go back to school eventually,” Jake said carefully. “I’m sure there are lots of other things Michelle can show you. And once in a while she could help you with your homework, too.”
Mary seemed satisfied with this, and ran to the bedroom she was sharing with her brother to continue playing with JJ, who had taken her motorcycle collection under his wing. Michelle never would have guessed that having bunkbeds in there would be so handy. The last thing she had ever expected was to be hosting a biker with two kids in her apartment.
The bunk beds had been in there already for bikers who needed to stay at the MC to sleep off a buzz, but still had never been used by the time Michelle got her hands on the apartment. Letting her live there was the one good thing her father had ever done for her. And now she was able to do something good by keeping Jake and his family out of the trouble she had caused. Well, the kids anyway. She had a feeling Jake had other plans up his sleeve.
“What have you been up to all day?” Michelle asked. Jake had been disappearing for longer and longer periods of time since he h
ad arrived, every once in a while surprising her with an erotic tryst when she least expected it before retiring to his bedroom to sleep and then wake up to begin the whole cycle over again. “I hope you’re not getting into any trouble.”
“Trust me, nothing I can’t handle,” Jake said with a wink.
But Michelle wasn’t convinced. “I don’t know what that means, but I really hope that you won’t do anything rash. I know you hate the Raptors, but I heard my dad talking about your plan to wage full out war with them. I just want you to know that I think it’s a stupid idea. And without my father’s approval, it will never work.”
Jake darkened for a moment and then looked seriously at her.
“I need your help,” he said suddenly.
Michelle was shocked. She had never expected to hear a man like Jake ask someone like her, of all people, for help. Except maybe with his kids.
“Why? Doing what?”
She could tell by the look on his face that it was serious and she suddenly felt nervous.
Jake glanced around the room nervously before coming close to Michelle.
“There’s something fucked up going on around here and I think your father is behind it.”
“Well there’s a shocker,” Michelle said sarcastically.
Jake looked surprised. “Why? What do you know?”
“Nothing much,” Michelle said thoughtfully. “But he’s been being really secretive lately. Coming and going at all hours. There are lots of weird people here, too. Not bikers exactly, but they’re shady. They give off a really bad vibe. And they bring in suitcases and leave without them. I don’t like it.”
“Shit,” Jake whispered. “All right. I need you to tell me right away the next time your dad leaves on one of those random trips, okay? I have to see what he’s doing. Because if it’s what I think it is, it won’t be good. And we could end up in even more danger than we started off with.”
