I nipped at her lips. “You don’t want me to put you on your back and fuck you right here?”
She shook her head. “No. But I know I won’t stop you either.”
Her answer sent shivers down my spine. She was giving me all the power. She wanted me to have it. If I wanted, I could bend her over the fountain and fuck her right in the middle of the park.
But I didn’t want that. She was for my eyes only.
I pulled my hand out from between her legs. “We should get out of here then. My place?”
“What about Jamie? I should call her and let her know I’ll be a bit later than I expected.”
“You don’t need to,” I said as I got to my feet, offering her my hand. She took it. I helped her stand, and we walked across the cobblestone path. Her wet feet left little footprints the first twenty or so feet. “I already told her we might be a bit late.”
Lauryn nudged my ribs with her elbow when I winked at her.
“You horndog,” she said, laughing.
I grabbed her ass. “You’ll be thanking me soon enough.”
Chapter 22
Lauryn
I was acutely aware of the wetness in my panties when we slid into Caleb’s car and he drove off down the street toward his apartment. All that kissing and touching in the park had me hot and heavy really quick, and every nerve ending in my body was screaming to be pinched, kissed, licked, and fucked—in whatever order they came.
Caleb looked over at me. He had one hand on the steering wheel and one on the shifter. It was dark out now, and a bit of a shadow had formed on his jaw. He looked hotter than sin.
I let my knees fall apart.
Caleb made a sound in the back of his throat when I reached down to rub myself. I was too horny not to be touched, and he deserved a show. I pushed my panties to the side and was surprised when Caleb reached over and pushed my hand away.
He wasted no time. As we took a right turn, he rubbed my clit. I gripped the handle in the door and watched him as he drove and played with my pussy. I didn’t care if anyone saw.
When we stopped at a red light, he eased a finger inside me. Nice and slow. I sighed with pleasure and melted into the seat as he began finger fucking me. I was oblivious to whether there were other cars around. All I could see, feel, and smell was Caleb.
His fingers were still plunging in and out of me after he parked in the underground parking lot of his apartment building. He somehow managed to put the car in park with his other hand, and he unclipped his seat belt and leaned across me. He ravaged me with kisses, and I gripped his shoulders as he fucked me in the car until I came.
Then, temporarily satisfied, he got out of the car and came to help me. I was a little unsteady on my feet after my orgasm, and the crooked smile he wore had my knees trembling. We walked to the elevator and rode up to his floor.
It was impossible to keep myself from him as we rode the elevator up. I practically threw myself at him and climbed him like a tree. I hooked one leg around his to hold myself against him as we kissed, and I managed to get three or four of his shirt buttons undone by the time the doors opened.
We stumbled out and hurried down the hall to his unit. Caleb unlocked the door, and he let me go in first. He closed it behind him, locked the handle, and faced me.
He tugged his shirt off over his head.
I admired the lean lines of muscle that I’d already seen but was still enchanted by. He was so damn sexy. When he started working to take off his belt, I kicked my heels off. They scattered across his hardwood floors and thudded against the baseboards.
Caleb’s belt hummed against his belt loops as he pulled it off. He tossed it aside and closed the distance between us in three quick strides, where he scooped me up, and I wrapped my legs around his waist. He cupped my ass in his large hands as he walked me backward. We swayed with every step he took, and I could feel the swell of his cock between my legs growing steadily bigger.
I kissed his lips and then his jaw and then his neck toward his ear. I nibbled his earlobe as he walked me down a long hallway to the back of the apartment.
At some point, we must have entered his bedroom. I hadn’t been paying attention, so I was a little surprised when I found myself being thrown down on a mattress on my back. He’d left the lights off, and the room was dimly lit by the streetlights down below outside the window.
He straightened above me and unzipped his pants. He stripped out of them and threw them across the floor.
I propped myself up on my elbows. “I’m going to need your help getting out of this dress.”
“Who says you’re getting out of it?” he asked, one dark eyebrow deviously arched. Then, he moved to the edge of the bed, reached up the hem of my dress, and hooked his thumbs in the waistband of my thong. He whipped it off my legs and tossed it over his shoulder before pushing my knees apart. “Maybe I want you to keep it on.”
“Don’t play games with me, Caleb,” I whispered seductively.
He grinned and motioned for me to stand up. I slid to the edge of the bed and put my back to him. He drew my hair out of the way. It whispered across the nape of my neck, and my skin became littered with goose bumps. When he pressed his lips to my neck and drew the zipper down, I shivered.
His fingers slid the shoulders of the dress off me, and it fell down to gather around my waist. It was so tight fitting up top that I hadn’t needed to wear a bra, so when he shimmied it over my hips and it fell to my feet, I was completely naked before him.
Caleb continued kissing my neck. I had my back to him, and all he was wearing were his skintight black boxers. I reached behind to massage his bulging cock through the thin fabric.
He nibbled my neck and breathed close to my ear. “Get your ass back on that bed.”
“Make me.”
Caleb’s hands on my waist were powerful. He lifted me up and moved me effortlessly to the bed and then threw me down face-first. I giggled when I got a face full of blankets, and he leaned over me, planting one fist on either side of my shoulders. He dropped his hips and let his cock rest in the groove of my ass. I lifted my hips off the bed and wiggled them back and forth.
“Don’t be a tease,” he scolded.
“Why?” I looked up at him over my shoulder.
He cupped my chin in one hand. “Because I said so.” Then, he was kissing me. Hot lances of desire swept through me from the tip of his tongue to the aching knot of need below my belly. His dick against my ass was maddening, and the press of his body behind me had me all but coming undone.
“I need you,” I cooed.
He sealed his lips over mine once more, silencing my pleas. When he pulled away, he straightened and gave my ass a good slap. I yelped and heard him chuckle behind me.
“Turn over, woman,” he growled.
I rolled over.
“Now, come to the edge of the bed,” he said as he walked around to the right side of the bed. I did as I was told and stayed on my back as I pushed myself to the edge. He had me turn around so that my head was at the end. I was face to face with the bulge beneath his sleek black boxers. He gathered my hair off my face and let it fall below my head. “Spread your legs.”
I relaxed my body and let my legs fall apart. He squeezed my tits together and then ran his hands down my stomach to rub my clit. I reached up and rolled his boxers down. His cock sprang free, and I stretched to take the tip of him in my mouth. I puckered my cheeks and drew him in, nice and slow, suctioning around him.
He groaned as he pushed into my throat and rubbed my clit harder.
I held him for as long as he wanted me to, and then he pulled out, giving me air. He dropped his hips when I was ready, and we continued this for a while. I loved worshipping him with my tongue, and he returned the favor as he slipped two thick fingers inside me and reached up to my G-spot.
I came fast, and after that, Caleb seemed unwilling to let me continue sucking him off. The man wanted pussy, and I wasn’t going to deny him that.
&n
bsp; He turned me around and flipped me over so I was back on my stomach. I heard him rummage through a nightstand drawer and tear open a wrapper. He put one hand in the small of my back as he rolled the condom on with the other. Then, he climbed on top of me, forcing me to keep my thighs pinched together as I lay face down on his bed.
He arched his hips forward, and his dick slipped between my thighs and then inside me.
I moaned, and so did he.
He held my hips as he worked his way deep inside me. My toes curled, and I buried my face in his bedding to muffle the sounds I was making.
He grabbed a fistful of my hair and lifted my head up. “No, kitten. I want to hear you.” He bent over me and kissed my shoulders, neck, and back. All the while, he was quickening his rhythm. I was unable to do anything but let him have his way with me. He rode me, and I gripped the sheets as I inched closer and closer to my climax. My breath hitched in my throat when the moment finally came, and the tight knot inside me shattered into a million pieces and scattered through my body in one euphoric, uncontrollable wave.
I screamed with pleasure, and he let my hair go.
Then, he pulled out, flipped me back around, and yanked me to the edge of the bed. He pushed my legs apart and stood between them. He pressed his cock inside me once again and fucked me on my back as he rubbed my clit.
My view was incredible. Caleb fucked like an animal, and every thrust promised me another orgasm. I held the back of my knees and spread my legs further apart for him. I moaned his name. I bit my lip. Everything was all coming to a head.
“I’m going to come,” I whispered.
“Not yet, baby,” he growled. “Hold it.”
“Oh god.”
He fucked me harder. His thrusts became more and more wild, and I was clenching my fists in the sheets to keep control of myself. I was fighting a losing battle. I couldn’t control my body anymore. I shuddered beneath him.
Caleb planted a hand on my chest and held me down as he buried himself deep inside me. “Come for me,” he grated.
When I came, I saw stars behind my eyelids. Caleb climaxed with me, and we both slowed down to ride out our orgasms together.
Afterward, he pulled out and collapsed beside me. Neither of us said anything right away. It was nice to just be. I listened to his breath, hard and fast until it eventually evened out, and then I rolled into him to rest my cheek on his chest and do something I’d wanted to do for a long time. I listened to his heartbeat.
He wrapped an arm around me and rested his cheek on my head. “It’s a good thing I warned Jamie we might be a while.”
I looked up at him and chuckled. “A very good thing.”
He rubbed my shoulder with his thumb. “Do you have to go home tonight?”
I sighed. “I should. I’ve never spent a full night away from Jayden, and I don’t want him waking up in the morning with me not being there. You understand, right?”
“Of course, I do.” He smiled. Then, he kissed my forehead. “Let me go clean up first, and I’ll drive you home. Do you want some water or anything?” He sat up and got off the bed.
“Water would be amazing,” I said.
When he came back from the bathroom, he had a glass of water in one hand. He extended it to me, and I sipped it gratefully and then passed it back. He finished off the rest, and we walked down the hall to collect his clothes. He zipped my dress back up for me, and before I knew it, I was back in his car heading home.
I’d never wanted to spend the night with a man more than I did with him.
“I wish I could have stayed,” I whispered when he parked at the curb in front of my apartment building.
He put a hand on my bare knee. “Me too. But there will be more nights for that. I hope?”
“I hope so too,” I whispered. Then, I gave him a sweet kiss goodbye and got out of the car. He waited for me to get inside before driving away, and I rode the elevator feeling better than I ever remembered. I even felt better than I did when I had Zandra in my system.
For the first time in over a year, I didn’t crave that little blue pill. Not even a little bit.
Chapter 23
Caleb
I hadn’t seen Lauryn since our date on Sunday. It was now Wednesday. I was itching for it to be the weekend, so I could see her at work. We’d tried to get together on Tuesday, but Jayden hadn’t been feeling well, and Lauryn wanted to stay home with him. I respected that and told her to call if she needed anything.
She’d only called once, and it was to say good night because she said she needed to, and she was just following my orders. I’d told her to stop being so cute. Then, we’d talked on the phone for almost forty-five minutes before I made her hang up because she was yawning so much and clearly needed to sleep.
The girl was gunning for my heart, that was for damn sure, and I felt like I was in quicksand. The best kind of quicksand that I wanted to sink into and never climb out of.
She consumed my thoughts on the drive to Ryder’s house that evening. I thought about how she’d looked sitting across from me at the table on our date. I could picture that glint in her eye perfectly and that smile resting on the corners of her full, kissable lips. I conjured up an image of her sitting with her feet in the fountain. She’d had red polish on her toes. I remembered kissing her at the fountain and touching her and being seriously tempted to take her right then and there.
She’d have let me.
Instead, we’d exercised restraint, and it had been worth it. The sex at my house was all I’d been able to think about all week. Her body. Her taste. The way she sucked me off and the slickness of her tight, wet pussy. I wanted more.
But there were things to attend to. Ryder had called a meeting at his place, and when I parked in the driveway, I was the last to arrive. I got out of my car, walked up to the front door, and let myself in.
The night was chilly, so everyone was gathered in Ryder’s living room. They all looked up and nodded at me.
“Hey, fucker.” Sabian grinned.
“About time you showed up,” Jax grumbled.
The others, Derek, Axel, Ryder, and Dani all said “hey” and called it a day.
I took the open seat at the end of the sofa beside Derek. He nudged me with his elbow. “How’ve you been, brother? Haven’t heard from you in a while.”
“Good enough. You?”
Derek shrugged. “About the same.”
Ryder clapped his hands together. He was sitting across from me in his usual seat. Dani was perched on the back and had her hands resting on both of his shoulders. Every time I saw her, I found myself looking involuntarily at her belly. I kept expecting to see something there, something to visually prove that she and Ryder were parents in the making. But every time, I had to remind myself that it hadn’t been long enough.
And thank God for that. Isaac Reed was still at large. The last thing we needed was him finding out Ryder was expecting a child.
“Derek,” Ryder said, nodding at him. Derek glanced up as Ryder continued. “I want to address this shit with Rhys before we move ahead. Where does shit stand with him?”
Derek sighed. “He wants in.”
“In?” Sabian asked.
Derek nodded. “He wants to be a Lost Breed. He lost his crew, and he knows what we’re up against with Isaac. He says he can help. He’s been through this shit before, and he knows all the things not to do.”
Ryder looked skeptical. “Do you trust him?”
I glanced at Derek. That question had a lot of pressure associated with it. Derek stared calmly back at our President and nodded. “I do. It took me a while to get there, but I do. He’s lost a lot, Ryder. I truly think he’s just looking for a new place to call home.”
“You think he’d be fine with answering to a new boss?” Axel piped up.
Derek scratched the back of his neck. “Yes. He knows what he’s asking for. He knows he won’t be accepted right away. Not to mention he has three of his guys with him that he wants to keep
.”
“So we’d be taking on four new members?” Jax asked.
“Yes,” Derek said.
Ryder didn’t say anything. Dani was watching Derek with an unreadable expression. After a minute, she said, “If Derek trusts him, so do I.”
“Likewise,” I said.
There were grumbles around the room. Clearly, not everyone was on board just yet.
I cleared my throat. “I don’t think any of us are in a position to refuse help at this point. Look at the mess we’re in here. Isaac’s been dancing circles around us for months. He’s fucked us sideways on more than one occasion. We have a chance to add four more members to our ranks who’ve fought this fucker, and you want to turn them away?”
Ryder was watching me beneath hooded brows. His gaze fell on the others.
Axel shrugged. “I’m not saying we should turn them away. But we should be wary. We’ve been conned before. Now is not the time to let our guard down. We know what happens when we look away for one minute.”
Dani got to her feet and crossed her arms. “Nobody is letting their guard down this go-around. Isaac Reed is in the wind. He could pop up at any moment. We need to be prepared for that moment, whenever it might come. I find it hard to believe it’s a coincidence. I think he’s playing at something. Gathering support. Who knows?”
“Have you found anything else out on him, Dani?” I asked.
She nodded. “I have enough to put him in prison for the rest of his life. If we take him alive, that is.”
I chuckled. “I, for one, intend on ending him next time I see him.”
“Amen.” Derek nodded.
The others chimed in as well. At least we were on the same page with that.
I sighed. “So, we’re still just waiting, then? We don’t have anything concrete to go on?”
Dani shook her head. “Unfortunately, no. He must know we’re all looking for him. He’s playing it smart and keeping his head down. Who knows if he’s even in the city anymore?”
“Rhys is sure he is,” Derek said.
