Moving to Love: Rolling Thunder Series, Book 1

by Pj Fiala

  Joci said, “Jeremiah and I finished moving today. I’ll go over next week and clean so it’s ready for you guys. You can move in any time after that. If you don’t want the furniture I left there, we can get a storage unit and move it there.”

  JT let out a whoop, then high-fived Gunnar. People started filtering out on the deck to see what was going on. Gunnar and JT told them they were moving into Joci’s house next week, and they were excited. They talked excitedly when LuAnn had to get her two cents’ worth in.

  “Can’t you afford to live on your own anymore, Joci?”

  Joci looked at LuAnn and took a deep breath. “I certainly can. After all, I have a house that I bought on my own. What do you have?”

  LuAnn lived with her sister in her sister’s basement. She turned and walked back into the house to make herself another drink. JT smirked and high-fived Joci.

  Conversation resumed and the mood lifted. They were going to be okay. They were okay. The remainder of the evening, everyone had a great time. LuAnn was quiet and drank heavily, to the point that Boyd had to carry her to bed around ten o’clock.

  Joci seemed to enjoy herself, which helped Jeremiah enjoy himself. Later in the evening, Jeremiah sat in a big brown leather chair and winked at Joci as he patted his lap, knowing the little joke was not lost on her. She gladly climbed on his lap and wrapped her arms around his neck. She leaned into him and whispered in his ear.

  “Dog, you know you want me.”

  Jeremiah squeezed her tight and kissed her on the lips. “You’re right about that. More than I can get my mind around.”

  Last Chance

  On Saturday morning, Joci woke up to Jeremiah sliding into her. She was lying on her back, with her arms over her head. She felt him push himself into her and she moaned. He kissed her neck and nibbled her earlobe.

  He swirled his tongue around the shell of her ear and whispered, “Good morning, gorgeous. I love waking up with you.”

  She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed his jaw.

  She nibbled her way to his ear and whispered, “I love waking up with you in me.”

  He hissed out a breath. “God, Joci, you could make me come just by talking to me.”

  She moaned at the feeling once he was completely inside of her. As he started moving, she made little sounds that drove him wild.

  “Hmm, you feel like heaven inside of me.”

  Jeremiah loved making love to her, with her. He loved that she had moved in with him. He loved how he felt about her.

  “Joci…get there, baby…fast.”

  She smiled. He rode her hard and fast, the way she liked it. He massaged her inside, filling and stretching her completely. It never took him long to bring her to orgasm. He ground his hips against her a few times, and she felt her orgasm growing fast and furious. Her body heated, starting at her feet and moving up. Her nipples were hard little peaks. Her breathing was ragged as she tightened her arms around him. Her vision grew blurry, and she knew she was close, so close.

  “Jeremiah…I love you.”

  She stiffened when her orgasm hit her. She sighed as she came. He pumped one more time and floated over the edge with her. They lay there for a while, floating off to sleep again, wrapped in each other, still joined at their most intimate parts.

  When Jeremiah woke up about a half hour later, he kissed Joci on the neck and nibbled her shoulder. He breathed in deep.

  “I love the way you smell after we’ve made love. I love the way you feel. I love you.”

  Joci smiled. She wrapped her arms around him tighter and kissed his neck.

  He pulled out of her and went into the bathroom to get a wet cloth to clean them up. “I think someone’s up. I can smell coffee. Do you want some?”

  “Yes, I’ll get up with you. We can sit out there and talk to whoever is up.”

  She got up and threw on some yoga pants and a bra and t-shirt while Jeremiah pulled on his jeans and a t-shirt. They walked into the kitchen together, holding hands. Bear and Ashley were sitting at the table talking and drinking coffee. Joci went to the coffee pot, got two cups from the cupboard, and poured them coffee. She turned with the pot in her hand and motioned to Bear and Ashley. They both shook their heads no. She replaced the coffee pot and sat next to Jeremiah at the table.

  “Dog, we’ve been looking at the map, and here’s a nice route we can take today.” Bear motioned on the map in front of him.

  “Looks great. Why don’t you lead today? I’m fine with anywhere we ride today. The weather looks good. Go for it.”

  Bear’s broad grin grew. “Thanks, Dog.”

  Deacon and Julie came in, and so did Janice, Angel, and Ray. “Guys, check this out.” Bear pointed to the map.

  “Looks like a great route, Bear,” Deacon said.

  As they sat with their coffee, Jeremiah said, “Is there a little town where we can eat along the way, Bear? That way no one has to cook or clean.”

  They all bowed their heads over the map on the table, and Bear pointed to a little town. An agreement was made to be ready in an hour.

  Gunnar told Joci that LuAnn had slept with Chase on many occasions, usually because she knew he was the only one who would let her ride on his bike when she had no one else. “Ass for Gas” was the saying. Joci thought that was rather crude, but when it came to LuAnn, she wasn’t at all surprised that was her lifestyle.

  They saddled up when LuAnn, in very few clothes, made her appearance and climbed on the back of Boyd’s bike. As they took off, Jeremiah nodded to Joci to go ahead of him, and he pulled out right behind her. After they ate, they would gas up and then head north a little for the day.

  They rode to a little town just outside of Wisconsin Rapids for breakfast. Jeremiah sat at one end of the long table, and Bear sat at the other. Everyone else filled in where they wanted. Joci sat to Jeremiah’s left, and JT sat to his right. Boyd and LuAnn sat down toward the other end of the table on the same side as Joci, which meant she didn’t have to look at LuAnn. That eased Jeremiah’s mind a bit.

  As soon as they had finished eating, they rode next door to a gas station to fill up before heading off on Bear’s route. Afterward, Jeremiah and Joci rode to the edge of the parking lot and waited for everyone else. Jeremiah grabbed Joci and hugged her tight. “It’s going to be a great day, babe.”

  Joci laughed. “I think so, too.”

  “Okay, saddle up.” Jeremiah swatted Joci’s butt and swung his leg over his bike, then winked at her as he started it up. Joci smiled and shook her head as she swung her leg over her own bike and started it up. The group started pulling out of the gas station. Jeremiah took off, thinking Joci was with him. Just as Joci started pulling out, Boyd cut her off and drove in front of her, with LuAnn giving Joci the finger and laughing.

  Joci’s heart thudded in her chest. She could have dumped her bike there. What the fuck is going on with those two?

  They got out on the road, and Jeremiah looked back at Joci. She gave him the thumbs up, and he nodded at her, but she could tell he was pissed. She was pissed, too, and it left Joci at the back of the group again, which Jeremiah had specifically told everyone not to do.

  Jeremiah slowed down until he was alongside Joci in the inside lane. They were on a two-lane road, but there wasn’t any traffic at this time of day, still early Saturday morning. Jeremiah nodded his head to Joci to follow him, and he took off, passing Boyd, Frog, and Janice, and then Gunnar and Ryder. Joci looked up the road and still saw no traffic, so she followed Jeremiah. Gunnar and Ryder slowed down to give them room to come into the lane. They safely slid into formation in front of Gunnar and Ryder. Joci gave them the thumbs up as she moved in front of them.

  The roads were curvy, and the weather was warming up. It was beautiful riding weather. The sun started warming the day; traffic was still light. It was late June and the temperature today was supposed to be in the low 90s, perfect for Joci.

  About an hour and a half into their ride, they wer
e looking for a gas station to gas up again. Bear found one on the outskirts of a little town near Tomah. They pulled in, but there were only two pumps, which meant most of them had to wait for others to finish up. Joci got off her bike, and so did Jeremiah. The others got off their bikes as well for a leg stretch and to get gas. Jeremiah walked over to Joci and hugged her.

  “Are you okay, baby?”

  Joci smiled. “Yes, I’m fine. But, what the fuck?”

  “Exactly. I’ve had enough.” Jeremiah stalked over to Boyd and before even stopping in front of him, he punched him in the mouth. Boyd went down hard. LuAnn screamed, and everyone came running over to see what was going on.

  Jeremiah stood over Boyd and glared at him. “I told you, Joci was not to be left at the back of the group. Not only that, but you cut her off. She could have dumped her bike, you ignorant fuck. Get the fuck out of here. You’re not welcome.”

  “Fuck, man, I didn’t know it meant today, too. LuAnn said it didn’t matter.”

  “It does matter. It matters a hell of a lot. When I give an order, I expect it to be followed. Even if that hadn’t been an order, you never, ever cut anyone in my group off. Get out.”

  LuAnn stood with her hands on her hips. “Dog, that’s bullshit. Joci shouldn’t be riding if she can’t handle it.”

  Jeremiah glared at LuAnn. “Since you don’t fucking ride yourself, you shouldn’t open your fucking mouth. Get the fuck out of here, both of you. Now!”

  Boyd got up off the ground and walked over to his bike, rubbing his jaw. He nodded for LuAnn to get on, but she stood with her arms crossed.

  “Get out, LuAnn; you have no one else to ride with, and you’re not welcome anymore.”

  LuAnn started with the waterworks. “Dog, please let me stay. I can ride with Chase.”

  Chase spoke up. “No, you can’t, LuAnn. I asked you last week, and you said no. Now I don’t want you on with me.”

  LuAnn walked over to Boyd’s bike with tears in her eyes. She looked back at Jeremiah. “I don’t have a key to get my stuff.”

  Jeremiah shook his head. “Someone will bring it back to the shop. You’re not welcome at the house. Especially when there isn’t anyone there to watch you.”

  Jeremiah turned his back on LuAnn and walked toward Joci, hugging her to him. Joci could feel him shaking and breathing hard. She wrapped her arms around him and hugged him tight. “Thank you for sticking up for me.”

  Jeremiah looked down at Joci and slowly shook his head. “I’ll always stick up for you; don’t you understand?”

  Tonight We Play

  LuAnn and Boyd took off, and the rest of the group continued to gas up and talk. The rest of the day went along smoothly. The ride was fabulous, and the weather was even better. Jeremiah watched Joci ride, and his heart swelled. She was amazing. Most women would have freaked out yesterday when those assholes got so close to her, but she kept her cool and knew what to do when he pulled over. She was a great rider. Today was the same. Boyd had cut her off, and she hadn’t bitched or made a scene. She just fell in line where she could and rode along.

  She looked fantastic on her bike, too. She rode a Harley Davidson Fat Boy. She had it custom painted, pearl white with gold ghost flames. She sat with a small lean forward and looked sexy as hell. He couldn’t blame the guys for admiring her yesterday. Jeremiah had a hard time taking his eyes off her. He was a lucky man.

  Joci looked over and saw him watching her. She smiled at him, and his heart skipped a beat. She winked and looked back at the road. This was without a doubt the woman he wanted to spend the rest of his life with.

  They pulled in the driveway at the house around 5:45and everyone rolled their bikes into the garage.

  Joci got off her bike and said, “If someone wants to go to the store and pick up some chicken and potatoes, I’ll be happy to cook.”

  “Joci, I don’t want you to have to do that. We should be relaxing,” said Jeremiah.

  Joci smiled. “Not having LuAnn here is relaxing. Besides, we can have drinks and no one has to drive.”

  “I’ll go,” Ryder volunteered. Frog piped up, too. “I’ll go with you.”

  Joci and Janice gave them a shopping list and decided to take their showers while the guys were shopping. Then, while they were cooking, the guys could clean up.

  Joci went to the bathroom and turned on the shower to warm up. As she was pulling her clothes out of her bag, Jeremiah walked in and locked the door. He had made her a drink and brought it in with him.

  He handed it to her with a wink and she took a sip and licked her lips and said, “Mmmmm. Thank you.”

  He snatched the glass from her hand and set it on the dresser. He grabbed her around the waist and pulled her close to him.

  “You set my blood on fire, Jocelyn James. I can’t stop looking at you. I can’t stop thinking about you. I can’t stop dreaming about you. I can’t and won’t ever stop wanting you.”

  Joci smiled at him and sighed. She shook her head and looked up at him.

  “It took me a long time to find you, Jeremiah. It took me a long time to admit my feelings for you. But I’m such a lucky woman. You were definitely worth the wait.”

  They kissed, exploring each other’s mouths with their tongues. Nipping lips, tongues mating, like they were starving for each other.

  “Take your clothes off, Joci. I want to watch you.”

  Joci smiled at him and began removing her clothes. She pulled her shirt off and threw it on the bed. Then her jeans came off and hit the bed. She pushed her panties down her legs, and they went in the same direction. She reached back and unhooked her bra and sent that sailing to the rest of her clothes. When she was completely naked, she walked forward and looked at Jeremiah.

  “What do you want me to do now, babe?”

  Jeremiah hissed out a breath.

  “Get in the shower and wait for me.”

  Joci smiled and walked into the bathroom. She was turned on like crazy, loving the way he loved her. She stepped into the shower and started lathering up her hair. She soaped up her body, and as she was rinsing out her hair, she felt Jeremiah grab her ass in both of his hands. He quickly wrapped his arms around her from behind and pushed her against the wall.

  “Spread your legs, baby. Open yourself up for me.”

  Joci spread her legs. She felt him slip a finger inside of her, and she gasped at the feel of him. She put her forehead on the shower wall and groaned.

  “Feel how tight your little pussy is? It feels amazing wrapped around my cock. Wet and hot and fisting me like a glove. It sucks me right in and holds me so fucking tight. I can’t get enough of how you feel, Joci.”

  He moved his fingers in and out of her. Slowly…agonizingly slow. With his other hand, he reached around and rubbed her clit. Joci hissed out, “Jeremiah. That feels amazing.”

  “Not nearly as amazing as you feel.”

  He bent his knees to position himself at her entrance. He pushed, and Joci let out a sigh. Jeremiah pulled out again and pushed in all the way.

  “Joci, you feel like heaven. I want to live just like this inside of you. You drive me wild with want and need.”

  Joci didn’t have words for how she felt with him inside of her. Full, so full. Like nothing else in this world. He made her come so fast. But also because she loved being with him. He made her feel complete. She was as addicted to him as much as he was addicted to her.

  Jeremiah started moving in and out of her. Joci put her hands above her head and hung on to the wall for support. Jeremiah wrapped his arms around Joci’s waist so he wouldn’t push her over.

  “Are you ready, baby? I need to push into you hard now, or I’m going to lose my mind.”

  “Yes, Jeremiah. Make me come.”

  He pushed into her, moved in and out several times. He kissed her neck and the top of her head.

  “Jeremiah, don’t be gentle. I need to feel your passion.”

  He hissed out a breath and tightened his
hold on her. He began thrusting into her.

  “Baby, you always have my passion.”

  He squeezed her waist tighter and began wildly pumping into her. Joci whimpered and fisted her hands against the wall. Her orgasm was building quickly. She felt hot all over, and there was an edginess within her that needed to be released. Jeremiah circled her clit again and thrust into her as she moaned his name and came. The walls of her pussy pulsed and milked him, which threw Jeremiah over the edge. He came hard with a groan. He held her tight and pushed up into her as hard as he could.

  “Joci…Fuck…You feel so damn good.” He kept his arm around her and moved backward to sit on the bench in the shower. Joci sat on Jeremiah; he was still inside of her, and he wrapped both of his arms around her, pulling her back onto him. She laid her head back against his shoulder and moved her arm to reach back and cup his head. Her heart hammered in her chest, and she was still breathing hard. She felt amazing. She loved the way Jeremiah made love to her. He knew what she needed, and he gave it to her every time.

  An hour later, the women were cooking in the kitchen. The guys were either on the deck or in the living room bullshitting. As the girls enjoyed a couple of drinks and were talking, they were having fun making grilled chicken, stir-fried veggies, and grilled parmesan potatoes.

  Ashley finally asked, “Joci, are you feeling better now that the skank LuAnn is gone?”

  Joci smiled at her. “I hate to say that I’m happy she’s gone, but I am. I can’t figure out what Jeremiah sees in her to keep her, and it bothers the shit out of me, but I feel great that he kicked her to the curb today.”

  Janice nudged Joci. “Babe, you have nothing to worry about when it comes to Dog. He is one thousand percent in love with you. We can all see it. LuAnn can see it, too. That’s why she has gotten so awful.”

  Joci looked at Janice for a moment and shook her head. “I can’t figure out what her hold is over him that he tolerates it when it messes with my head so much.”
