Revenge - A Second Chance, First Time Romance

“Didn’t you tell them you’re sick? What if they see you?”
“Fuck ‘em,” he grunted. “They won’t see me and if they do, I’m pretty sure they’ll understand.”
I could tell that he wanted to go, and I was glad to do whatever it was that would make him happy. “Where are we going to go?”
“Wherever we want to,” he said with a half-grin.
“Sure, OK. Let’s go,” I said reaching out to lightly touch his cheek. My fingertips moved down to his chin feeling his long, rough facial hair prickle gently against my skin. He closed his eyes and after a few seconds he wrapped his fingers around my wrist.
He didn’t move me away. After a brief moment, he pulled me quickly towards him. I gasped at the sudden movement. I placed my hand on his solid chest and looked up into his warm eyes.
Our bodies were so close it made my breathing erratic. He looked down into my eyes and I couldn’t tell what he was thinking. His eyes were filled with both an extreme passion and something almost closer to what looked like anger.
He slid his hand onto my shoulder and around my neck quickly pulling me towards him. Pike pressed his lips to mine hard as if he needed me to live. In our kiss I felt every emotion I’d ever felt for him. It was almost too overwhelming. I felt like running.
I pulled away, and he looked down for a second before putting his hands on my shoulder to shift me over slightly so he could stand up. Whatever had happened between us was too much for him. He stretched out his hand, “Let’s go, babe.”

We took a long, fast ride through the country. He drove us to the lake where we walked for a long time hand in hand.
“Shit,” he grunted.
“What?” I said squinting up at him. Seeing him walking around the lake in his leather was almost comical. He didn’t fit the scenery at all, but he didn’t care, and neither did I.
“We better get back. I don’t want to have to explain this,” he said as if the toughness from earlier had worn off.
I kicked at the rough sand, “You said they’d understand.”
“Yeah, they would. But they’d also give me a lot of shit about it. You’ll come back to the house with me?” he asked without looking at me.
“Yeah, sure. Love to.”
“Ugh,” he groaned, and I narrowed my eyes.
“Well I won’t if you don’t want me to,” I said feeling a bit confused.
He turned me to face him, “Of course I want you to. The problem is… well… I don’t want you to leave. The last couple days have been….”
“I know,” I said not knowing what else I could say. But things just had to be this way. Our time was limited.
He sighed, “I just wish we—”
“We can’t,” I said softly as I shook my head side to side.
“It’s just that when I’m with you, everything feels right. I’m supposed to be with you. I can feel it. I’m not right about much in this fucking world, but you know what Jamie? I’m fucking right about this,” he said pressing his fist into his thigh.
He picked up a rock and threw it as hard as he could into the lake. It was such a far throw that I could barely hear the ker-plunk noise it made as it broke through the surface of the water.
I still couldn’t think of the right words to say. And he didn’t wait for me to say anything.
“Let’s go,” he said lacing his fingers between mine and leading me back towards his bike.
We leisurely drove back to his place. I rested my head against his back and curled my fingers around his middle trying to memorize how he felt against me.
I knew I was sending mixed messages, but I liked being with him too. It felt right to me too. I just knew how it had to be. I’m sure he knew it too, but he wished it could be different.
It was probably hard for him. Maybe he even felt helpless because when I left tomorrow, it would be me that was walking away. Just like last time.
When we got back to the house he gestured to the sofa and I sat down. He walked into the kitchen and opened the fridge, “Want something to drink?”
I could hear him popping the top of a can of beer. “I’ll have what you’re having.”
Pike sat next to me, opened the second can of beer and handed it to me. He chugged at least half of his can in one drink before setting it down on the coffee table.
“I know it probably didn’t seem like it, but I had the best fucking day I’ve had in a long time. I really did,” he said drumming his fingers on top of his knee.
“So did I.”
“I really miss you, Jamie. I really fucking do… and even though it won’t change things, I just wanted you to know that.”
“I know… I do too.”
Pike spun towards me with wide eyes. He looked excited as he took my hand and looked into my eyes. “Then let’s figure this out. To hell with everything else. Let’s be together.”
“Pike,” I said starting to think that being here was a big mistake. It just wasn’t that simple. He was forgetting all of the reasons it would never work out.
“We can make this work. I just know we can. You can make your own choices,” he said, and I knew he was referring my parents.
“Of course I can, and I do. And I did. The blame can’t solely be put on them,” I said, but he held up his hand as if he didn’t want to hear anymore.
He shook his head, “We owe it to ourselves to at least try.”
“We haven’t seen each other in years and you want me to just drop everything?”
“It doesn’t have to happen all at once. But we can have a lot more days like this and then who knows? We deserve to give this a fucking chance don’t you think?” he said tapping his boot repeatedly against the floor.
Maybe he was right. Maybe we did owe it to ourselves to see where things could go. But it wasn’t like I could just leave my life behind and move back to Greenwood Pass.
I had a job. I needed to make money. It wasn’t like I wanted to work at the local grocery store for minimum wage. Not to mention I’d have to hide from my parents. They wouldn’t ever approve. I wouldn’t even be able to work at the store because they’d see me, or people would talk. They’d find out.
“We could be happy,” he said sighing as though he could see the doubts and questions floating around in my mind.
“Where would I live? What would I do for a living?”
“Of course you could stay here. I make enough from the club to pay for this place. I know it’s nothing special, but it’s not all that bad either. Probably better than most thought I’d do.”
I looked around the room. It was small, but otherwise it wasn’t bad. It was in fairly decent condition, it just needed a thorough cleaning and a woman’s touch.
“I… I’m not sure,” I said with a smile. Was I actually thinking about it?
“You’d make me the happiest fucking man on the planet, that’s for damn sure,” he said and pulled me onto his lap. He pressed his lips to mine and kissed along my jaw. “We could be so happy.”
My body softened under his touch. I stopped thinking about all the reasons why not.
“Christ, you are just so beautiful.”
He ran his thumb down my cheek and then down my neck. I could tell by the shift of the color in his eyes what he was thinking about. And truthfully, I was thinking about it too.
Chapter 14
I turned my body and straddled his muscular thighs. We were face to face. I looked into his eyes and slowly ran my tongue along my bottom lip.
My fingers twirled into the hair at his neck as I looked down into his glowing eyes that were filled with a sinful need. The look sent a shiver down my spine as my breathing slowed.
He slightly shifted his hips and I could feel his hardness pressing against his jeans. “See babe, that’s what you do to me.”
I grabbed his hand and placed it between my legs, “And this is what you do to me.”
Something deep inside him rumbled, and he started moving his fin
gers back and forth roughly against the outside of my jeans. I closed my eyes and arched my back as I swirled my hips into his hand.
His other hand slid slowly up my body and grabbed my breast sending a carnal lust surging through my veins. I moaned at his needy, almost too hard touches. My fingers clutched his cut as I rocked my body.
“God, I fucking want you so bad,” Pike whispered, his breath hot against my neck.
“Then fucking take me,” I said as though I was daring him. But the words filled me with a white, hot desire that I wouldn’t be able to deny.
Pike wrapped his arms around my backside and lifted me as he stood up off of the sofa. He picked me up with what seemed like ease and carried me down the short hall towards his bedroom.
I smiled when he veered and slightly drove us into the wall. Pike tried to correct his movements but hit his arm and my leg against the opposite wall. He tilted his head to the side and groaned but then he smiled.
Pike pushed the already half-opened door so hard it hit the wall behind it causing the door to rattle noisily. He took two big steps and practically threw me onto the bed.
I looked up at him and it was as though I could actually see his desire filling the room. He stood there staring down at me for so long I worried he was going to change his mind and walk out of the room. Maybe he had finally come to his senses about everything.
When I almost couldn’t stand it any longer and was about to say something, he stepped forward. He put his knee between my legs and placed his hands lightly on my thighs gliding them up so agonizingly slowly it felt like torture.
As he got to the waist of my jeans he hesitated before he kept sliding them upwards over my shirt. His hands continued, taking my clothing with him causing them to gather and bunch up under my breasts.
I gasped when he cupped both breasts and thumbed at my nipples. “Mmm,” I said before I bit my lip.
I moaned as he caressed me. I reached up for him, but he took my arm and pinned it down to the bed. His other hand moved up gently around my neck until his fingers finally stopped at my lips.
He drew an invisible line over my lips and when I sucked his finger into my warm, wet mouth, I felt his cock pulse against my thigh. His eyes closed for a long blink before he opened them and watched me lick and suck his finger.
I closed my eyes and wrapped my lips around his finger as I drew it deeply into my mouth. He moaned as I sucked him as though it were his cock in my mouth.
Pike pressed himself harder against my thigh as though he wanted to make sure I felt his impressive size. And of course I did. His size was not something someone could ignore.
He leaned down and kissed me. Our lips opening and closing against one another hungrily. He swirled his tongue around mine before he moved his mouth away to kiss down my neck.
His hand cupped my breast, and he pulled at the fabric of my shirt that was still covering me. I grabbed the hem of my shirt and pulled it over my head as quickly as I could. He reached behind me and expertly unhooked my bra. I gasped and my skin prickled from the coolness in the air.
He kissed down my breast stopping so his tongue could tease my erect nipple. My fingers grabbed at the sheets above my head, “Oh, Hyde,” I moaned.
“You like that, babe?” he said, obviously able to tell that I did. He just wanted to hear me admit it.
“Oh yes. Yes!”
I was starting to feel light-headed from his soft and rough touches. He knew how to perfectly work my body. He wasn’t taking any detours he was driving me right to the edge.
I reached down to unbutton his jeans but my fingers didn’t want to work. It was as though I was in a haze.
He reached down and easily popped open the button on his jeans. Pike swiftly removed his pants, and I felt an animalistic need wash over me as I curled my finger tightly around his hard cock.
Pike closed his eyes and moaned at my touch. I wanted him inside me. I didn’t know how much longer I could wait. It was all I could think about… feeling him slide inside filling me perfectly.
I pulled my jeans down my thighs and turned around pressing my backside into him. He hugged my body close to his and I could feel his warm skin against mine.
He slid his hand between us and stroked up and down my wetness as he pressed his cock against my backside. I knew he could feel just how ready I was for him, just as I could feel how ready he was for me.
With an unadulterated hunger he pulled back momentarily only to line himself up so he could ease himself into my slick wetness. I cried out as he filled me. My body tingled from head to toe as he stretched me to fit his size.
He swiped my hair to the side and then hugged me as close as he could while he blissfully drove himself in and out of my wetness. His deep moans only turned me on more.
“Mmm… ahh,” he said softly into my neck.
I reached my arm back and grabbed onto his hip tightly. He buried himself only to pull back, withdrawing and pounding at the perfect rhythm. I moaned as we moved together as one.
A small moan escape from between my parted lips each time he drove himself into me. Each time it felt as though he delved deeper and deeper.
His arm crossed my body, pinching and tugging my nipple with each thrust. I felt dizzy with desire. His ragged breathing filled the air behind me.
Pike’s other hands slid down my body and dipped into my wetness. His finger flicked and caressed me driving me to a place that felt both sinful and heavenly.
“Oh, Pike,” I cried out as though I was begging him to push me over the cliff that would send me hurdling towards my orgasm.
My body trembled and tensed. He kissed the side of my neck and I knew he could tell I was close by how he was working my body.
“Pike, please,” I begged.
“Oh yeah, that’s right, come on babe,” he said pushing his hips hard against my backside.
The world around his bed started to spin. I pushed back into him as though I was looking for my release. I needed it. I ached for it.
He held onto my body tightly as if he was afraid I might just float away. I didn’t know how much more I could take before my body would just collapse. I rode along with his hips as our bodies rocked against one another.
“Oh God, oh God!” I cried out.
It felt as though time was starting to slow down. My body tensed and jerked with each of his needy thrusts.
“Please Hyde, please,” I moaned as I tensed around his cock and the explosions erupted throughout my body. He held me closer as he pounded himself into me letting his own climax ripple through his body.
“Oh, fuck,” he groaned as he rolled his hips letting himself get lost in his pleasure. Our bodies moved as one… slowing and slowing until finally we stopped.
Pike turned me around to face him. He cupped my face and kissed me. I pulled back with a smile and he looked deep into my eyes. The look was so powerful it made it hard for me to breathe.
“Shit,” he said and tucked his head down between us. He tilted his head up and shook it side to side. “I’m in too fucking deep.”
He didn’t say the words, but I knew what he was thinking. I knew him well enough to know what he wanted to say, but it was better for both of us if he didn’t.
Pike flopped down onto the bed and wiggled back into his pants. I did the same before curling up into his arm. I didn’t even bother finding my shirt, I didn’t want to waste time looking for it.
He kicked off his boots and pulled the blanket up over us. I smiled at him as I snuggled up against his warm chest. It felt like heaven.
I closed my eyes wishing I could freeze time. If only things could be different.
Chapter 15
When I opened my eyes, it was morning. I was still curled up in Pike’s arms. It seemed like neither of us had moved all night.
I looked up at him and he was wearing a small smile. He was having a good dream. One that I didn’t want to wake him from.
I considered sneaking away. If I could get out of the
house without him noticing I could avoid the awkward goodbye. A goodbye that neither of us really wanted to have, but knew that we had to.
Leaving would feel wrong but maybe it was for the best. Pike had to get back to his life with the club and I had to get back to my job in the city. They depended on me. The sooner I got away from Greenwood Pass the better it would be for the both of us.
It was my fault this was going to be painful. If I hadn’t been so weak in the first place none of this would have happened. The first time I had seen him I shouldn’t have agreed to see him.
I fucked up.
I slowly started to move into a sitting position trying carefully not to make any noise, or move the bed. He shifted slightly but his eyes stayed closed.
It felt like it had taken me five minutes but once I was sitting, I took a deep but nearly silent breath. Half-way there. I just needed to stand up and find my shirt.
“Good morning,” he said using a curious tone. Either I’d moved to quickly or he had been awake the whole time waiting to see what I was going to do.
“Morning,” I said crossing my arms over my bare chest as I looked for my bra or my shirt. It had been warm cuddled up in bed with him, but now I felt cold and exposed.
“Can I make you breakfast before you go?” he said rolling onto his side and rubbing my back.
“I have to pack. Thanks for the offer, but I really need to get going,” I said spotting my bra hanging off of the side of the bed. I scooped it up and slid my arms inside the straps.
“Yeah, sure, of course. I understand.” He stood up and turned around to face the window. I tried not to think about how much I wanted to run my hands all over his muscular back.
The floor creaked as he walked to the other side of the room. He picked up my shirt and tossed it to me.
“I wish I could change your mind,” he said looking at his feet.
“I know. I wish things were different too,” I said pulling the shirt over my head. This all felt as though it were my fault, but I knew that it wasn’t. I hadn’t made him join the club. That had been his choice.
