“Maybe you could get your GED while you’re here.”
Cricket shrugged. “It doesn’t really matter anymore.”
“It does if it matters to you.”
“The only thing that matters to me right now, is you.” She smiled at him.
~* * * *~
Her statement floored him. What was it about this woman that had him tied up in knots? Raine felt the hunger in his belly growing. He went down the hall and opened the door to her room. He swept her inside and closed the door behind them. He grabbed her and pushed her against the door. Pressing his lips against hers, he felt her lips part. Thrusting his tongue into her mouth, he felt her body respond.
She sucked in his tongue and gasped as she felt his cock brush up against her belly. “I need you,” she whispered.
“I’m right here and I’m not going anywhere.” He kissed her. Breaking his hold, he lifted her shirt over her head and nibbled his way down her neck. He pulled her bra down freeing her breasts. His mouth sucked her nipples and he could feel the heat growing inside her. Pulling her closer, he reached for her waistband and unzipped her zipper. He pulled her pants down her hips and they pooled at her feet.
Cricket reached down and cupped his cock straining in his jeans. “I want you inside me.”
He groaned and she pressed her hand into him harder. Raine turned her around and marched her over to the bed. Tossing her down he followed her, nestling between her thighs. He pressed his lips down on hers and ground his body into her.
Cricket pulled his shirt off his shoulders and nibbled her way down his neck. When she got to his collarbone, she pressed tiny licks along his shoulder.
When she dropped down to his chest her lips pressed tiny kisses on his skin as she made her way to his nipples. With her tongue, she licked his tiny nubbin. Then she suckled it and he groaned. He ground his cock into her pelvis again. He could feel her heat through his clothing.
Her fingers went to his waistband and when she unbuckled his pants, he pulled them off without wasting any time. He also pulled off her underwear and kissed his way down her stomach to her core. Pushing her legs apart, he kissed his way to her inner thighs. Nibbling his way up, he pressed two fingers deep inside her. His warm lips suckled her clit.
~* * * *~
Cricket moaned. She could feel her body respond and soon she felt the quickening inside. She was very close to a climax when he pulled his fingers out.
Raine paused and reached down to the floor, he rolled aside a bit and sheathed himself with a condom.
Cricket had heard about sex from her sister and she knew men wore them. She felt impatient and her panting was loud in the room.
Raine rolled back over and positioned himself between her thighs then surged upward, seating his hard cock deep inside her core.
Cricket hissed as he pulled out then surged back in deeper. “Oh my god, deeper. I need you deeper.” She moaned.
Raine lost control and began pounding inside her. Rocking his hips, he planted himself deeper and ground himself hard against her. He lowered his lips and pushed his tongue into her mouth.
Cricket loved the way he kissed and his tongue was matching the rhythm of his cock. Her mind whirled as her body pulsed. Pulling out then pushing back in he asked, “How close are you?’ he groaned.
“I’m there,” she cried out as her body exploded in pleasure.
Raine erupted inside her. Pushing one more time, he pulsed as he shot his cum. He groaned as he kissed her. Cradling her next to him, he pressed tiny kisses on her shoulder. “It just gets better every time,” he whispered in her ear. Sucking her lobe into his mouth.
Cricket arched her body against his. His touch set her body on fire. Her body was well satisfied, yet as he touched her, she felt herself responding again. His hand reached down and began stroking her core and Cricket groaned. “Again?” she groaned.
“I can’t get enough of you,” he whispered. He then paused a moment to replace the used condom. “You make me feel like a teenager again.” He lifted her leg and pushed his cock deep inside her from behind.
“Oh shit,” she moaned. Her tummy quivered as he stroked her. His thumb rubbed her clit and she tightened down on him.
Then he knelt behind her and pulled her ass up. He pounded her hard and she pushed against him even more. With each stroke, she got closer then suddenly, she was there. She screamed out his name and felt her body flooding as wave after wave of pleasure rocked her world. Then she felt him ram his cock deep into her. He called out her name as he climaxed inside her.
Dropping down on the mattress, he gulped in deep breaths and his head spun. Flopping over on his back, he waited for his body to calm. Sweat poured off him then as minutes passed, it finally cooled. “Damn,” he groaned. “I haven’t done that in a very long time.”
Cricket turned her head and grinned. “You aren’t that old are you?”
Raine ran his fingers through his hair. “I’m thirty nine.”
“That’s not so old,” she whispered.
“Old enough. Being with you makes me feel a lot younger than I am.”
“Being with you makes me feel alive,” she replied. “You make me feel safe too. I haven’t felt safe in so long.” She laid her head on his chest. “I can’t tell you how much being safe makes me feel.”
“You are safe here. The whole MC will stand behind you for what you did for Deke.”
Cricket paused, then said, “I don’t know that I did it for Deke. I did it because it was the right thing to do. My mom tried to teach both of us to do the right thing, even though it was hard and not always the correct thing at the time, but she said right was right. I lost her at such a young age but I can never forget what she taught me. And I tried to teach those lessons to Dusty. He is such a great kid. I hope he never forgets the lessons I tried to teach him.” She shook her head.
Raine wrapped his arms around her. “I don’t think he will and if he does, my brothers and parents are there. They will reinforce the lessons you taught him.”
“I hope so.”
Raine pulled her closer and wrapped his arms around her. “Let’s get some sleep. Tomorrow is another day.”
Cricket curled up in Raine’s arms and closed her eyes. Her body was sated and she prayed there would be no nightmares tonight. With all the stress of the last few days and the stress of what was to come, she wouldn’t be surprised if it triggered a nightmare but she hoped it didn’t.
Her nightmares began as a child and had been plaguing her ever since. She didn’t remember them but stress usually brings them on. All she really knew was the terror they left her with. Dread unlike anything she had ever known, that and questions she had no answers for.
Because they always shared a room, Cordy knew all too well, she suffered the nightmares but the only thing Cordy ever told her about them was the name Bane Jessin. Who he was, she had no clue. Had she ever met him? She couldn’t remember.
The only good thing was she hadn’t had the nightmare in a while, but then she hadn’t been so afraid in a while either. She’d never been about to lose Dusty before either. She wanted to tell Raine he could leave her but she really didn’t want him to go. In his arms she felt secure, maybe in his arms she wouldn’t dream of things that go bump in the night. Maybe the nightmares would stay away one more night.
~* * * *~
Raine woke up when Cricket began fussing in the night. He laid there listening to her crying out as if in pain. He heard her whimper in terror of something. Then he heard the name Bane and his heart froze. He’d heard that name before and there wasn’t anything good associated with it.
Wrapping his arms around her, he surrounded her with his warmth hoping to banish her terrors. For over an hour, he listened to her mumble and cry out. Finally, he couldn’t take it anymore and he sought another way to banish her terrors. He kissed her shoulder and his hand began a journey of renewing some heat in her body.
His lips pressed kisses down her neck while his hands r
eached around and began kneading her breasts. His long fingers plucked and pinched her nipples and he heard her groan for a different reason. One of his hands dropped down to her core and he pushed two fingers deep into her heat. The warm wetness of her arousal ramped up his passion and he felt himself grow hard.
Before he could change his mind, he reached for another condom, pulled it on, then lifted her leg and shoved himself inside her. He groaned as he slid in deep.
Cricket came too slowly and gasped in pleasure. His hands, his fingers, his lips and his cock were delivering everything she could ever want or desire. She was lost in his passion and within minutes, her body was writhing in ecstasy. Her orgasm stunned her breathless.
Raine then followed right behind her sharing the passion she seemed to feel so strongly. When he pulled out of her he whispered, “Sleep little one.”
Cricket nodded with a shuddering sigh and fell into a numbing sleep.
Raine laid there awake for the rest of the night. He waited for the nightmares to return but they didn’t come back. When the sun finally broke over the eastern horizon, he slipped from her embrace, then he dressed quickly. He bent to kiss her forehead gently then existed the room. He walked down the hall and into the main room.
As it was still very early, there was no one else around. He knew he should start a pot of coffee but just then, he suddenly felt the need for something stronger than morning brew.
He grabbed a bottle of Black Velvet from the bar and a glass then sat down at one of the tables. Lifting the bottle to his lips, he gulped heavily. The whiskey burned his throat as he swallowed it, yet it warmed his belly as well.
Raine’s mind was in a state of confusion. Why would someone so young be having nightmares about Bane? Was it Bane Jessin? Or some other man named Bane? He didn’t know and wasn’t sure he wanted to find out.
Bane Jessin was someone who could give anyone nightmares but what it had to do with Cricket he didn’t know.
His eyes turned to the back door as it opened and Deke came through.
When Deke saw Raine sitting there, he changed directions and joined him at the table. When he sat down he raised an eyebrow at Raine’s drink of choice. “A little early for that isn’t it?”
“At some point today, you and I need to talk,” Raine told him.
“About?” Deke frowned.
“How and why a twenty three year old girl would have nightmares about a man named Bane.”
Deke paled instantly and sweat beaded on his forehead. A rare reaction for him. After a moment, he reached for the bottle of Velvet and took a huge drink. The fire in his belly couldn’t warm the coldness of his soul the name brought on. He was about to say something when the front door opened and people began to enter the clubhouse. Deke sought Raine’s eyes and without saying a word, nodded at his request.
Black Jack was one of the people walking in the door. When he saw the two of them sitting there with a bottle of Black Velvet on the table between them, he looked concerned.
Deke got up and carried the bottle back to the bar.
A few minutes later, Reva brought out cups and carafes of coffee and Deke poured them both a cup. Black Jack joined his youngest son and grabbed a cup of coffee.
“So how was your first night with the grandson?” Raine asked.
“Your mother is going to love that little shit.” Jack chuckled. “He’s a great kid. Cricket did an awesome job.”
“She’s going to miss him.” Raine nodded.
“He’s going to miss her too,” Jack added. “He’s quite the kid. Although, he’s never been to school he already knows his numbers and letters. And he’s just beginning to read as well.”
Raine grinned. “Not bad for someone who never finished school herself.”
Jack and Deke took notice. “What do you mean?”
Raine shrugged. “She told me last night that she was fifteen when Cordy took her from Maine and she never got the chance to finish school.”
“I’ll speak to her,” Deke commented.
The bedroom door opened and Cricket walked into the main room. Just as she did, Gambler and Dusty came in the front door.
Dusty saw her and called out her name. Running to her, he jumped into her arms and hugged her.
She laughed out loud and whirled him around for a moment, then set him down on his feet.
He ran back over to Gambler and sat down beside him smiling brightly. “Did you see the tigers?” he asked. “There are three and they are awesome. Reva says they all have secret names and they are protectors.”
Gambler nodded. “I saw them when I was here before. But yeah, they are cool. We will have to ask her about them on our next visit.”
Cricket made her way over to the table when Raine motioned for her to join him. Sitting down beside him, she looked at Gambler. “I have some papers for you. It’s Dusty’s birth certificate and such.”
Gambler nodded. “You said something last night about him having a birthday next week?”
“Yup, he’ll be seven next week.” Cricket grinned.
“And I always get a birthday wish,” Dusty announced.
Gambler glanced over at Cricket and saw a twinkle in her eye, then he looked at his son. “And what kind of birthday wish do you have this year?”
“We have a birthday tradition,” Cricket told them. “We start the day with blueberry pancakes and strawberry milk, then we go for a walk to the park with a wishing well. We make a wish and throw in a coin, then we go to a zoo and see the animals. After that, we get a hot dog with chili and cheese for our supper and after supper, we take a blanket outside and watch the stars come up. Each year, we try and find a new constellation.”
Gambler smiled. “And which formations have you found so far?”
“We’ve found the Milky Way, the Big Dipper, Orion’s Belt and Leo,” Dusty answered. “Everywhere we’ve gone, the sky is just a little bit different.”
“Maybe your dad will show you the stars this year,” Cricket suggested.
“Maybe this year, we can find Aquarius,” Dusty stated. “Or maybe Capricorn.”
“We’ll have to see if we can find something,” Gambler told him. “Or maybe you could show me what you’ve already found.”
“I could do that.” Dusty grinned.
“It might be time to make some new traditions. Traditions with your new family.” Cricket nodded toward Gambler and Black Jack.
Dusty’s eyes looked worried for a moment then he nodded. “It won’t be the same ever again, will it?” he asked quietly.
Cricket leaned forward. “Sweet boy, it can only get better, you’ll see.”
Dusty got up and rushed over to her. Throwing his arms around her, he whispered, “I’m going to miss you Cricket!”
She closed her eyes. “And I you, sweet boy. Just remember that I love you muchly and that will never change.”
Dusty smiled. “I love you too…muchly.” He turned and reached out his hand to his grandfather. “I’m ready to go to Maine now.”
Black Jack got to his feet and took Dusty’s hand. “Then let’s go to Maine and start a new adventure.”
Gambler got to his feet and stared at Cricket for a moment. “He’s a great kid, thank you for taking care of him.”
Cricket swiped away a tear. “He’s very easy to love.”
Gambler nodded, “But even as young as he is, he has his own demons, doesn’t he? I heard him call out for you last night.”
Cricket smiled sadly and laid her hand on his face. “You have a hard journey ahead of you. You will have to show him unconditional love in order to conquer his fears. You must replace his bad memories with good ones. He wants to know love so bad, that is his greatest wish and something he wishes for every year at the wishing well. Help him grow into the man I know he can become.”
Gambler smiled and nodded. “I will and thank you.” Then he turned and waked out the door.
Cricket sat back down and looked at Raine. She smiled sadly. “I’m gonna
miss the hell out of that boy.”
“It’s time,” Deke called out softly.
Cricket nodded and got to her feet. Her year of punishment was about to begin.
