He turns his head to me while still trying to watch the road. “Yeah?” He rubs my hand harder, making me squeeze his cock. “I kind of imagined our first night back together being a bit more romantic than me pounding you in the driver seat of my truck.” He smiles a deadly, sexy smile and I lose it. I have to have him and I can’t think of anything sexier than having Kellan inside me while he’s driving.

I smile seductively, while slipping my panties down my legs and tossing them in the backseat. “With you, right now, I want it rough. You do something to me that brings out the animal in me. We have all night to be sweet. I want you.” I lean into his ear and run my tongue up it, playfully. “Right here.” I suck his ear into my mouth and nibble. “Now.”

Before I can even process his movements, the truck comes to a halt and I’m being pulled into Kellan’s lap. He guides my hands down to his jeans and says huskily, “Take what is yours, baby.”

The zipper of his jeans makes a loud noise as I pull it down and try my best to pull his erection out without causing an accident. He’s taking some side streets that no one else seems to be on so truly, I’m not too worried. I just want him inside me and the thought of him controlling this huge truck while inside me turns me on so much I feel my sex already clenching. He lifts slightly so I can work his pants down enough for skin to skin contact.

Placing each knee on the seat next to his hips, I grab his shaft in my hand greedily. Pressing the head to my wet entrance, I rub it back and forth to spread the wetness onto him. We both moan as I guide his cock just beyond the entrance and ease down onto it. “Damn, I’ve missed the way your pussy feels clamped around my dick.” I go slowly at first, allowing my walls to stretch enough for him to fit. Kellan is bigger than what I was used to with Aiden and I don’t want to hurt myself. I can feel it hit against my cervix in this position.

One hand grips the steering wheel as his other hand grips my waist, guiding me up and down on his cock; it stretching me and filling me with intense pleasure. I have no idea how he’s still driving, but he’s managing. He is good with his hands, after all.

His muscles flex as he turns the wheel, causing me to bend down and bite into his arm. Holy shit, this is so hot. “Damn, baby. You bite me again and I’m going to lose control. I want to come inside of you, but not yet.”

His grip tightens as his hips thrust up to meet my bounce, each stroke going in deep and long. I feel his fingers digging into my hip before he brings his thumb up to his mouth, sucking it and moving down to my thighs, spreading them more and then finally finding my clit. He rubs his saliva coated thumb up and down my sweet spot while biting down on my neck. The sensation is driving me wild. I begin rocking back and forth as he continues to rub my clit. I can feel his dick hitting against my G-spot. “Oh shit, Kellan!” I whimper. “It’s coming. I feel it.”

He rubs faster, while slowing his thrusts and my whole body shakes on top of his, causing him to growl.

“Mmm, baby. I love feeling you clamp around my dick.” He rests his head on my shoulder so he can see what’s in front of him. I bring my eyes up to meet the street and it’s still just us. This must be a way he takes when he wants to be alone.

“Okay, baby. I’m going to rock you faster and harder now. I’m going to have to pull off to the side for this one.” He smirks against my neck before pulling the truck over and switching the gear into park.

He pushes the seat back as far as it goes and grabs my hips with both hands. He grinds his hips back and forth inside me before pulling out and thrusting hard and deep. His thrusts continue to be hard, making me scream. I want this so much. I want this every day. He places his palm against my stomach, rubbing my clit again. The multiple feelings has me completely on edge.

His hand digs into my hips as he moans against my neck. “I’m going to come so deep inside you, it’s never going to find its way out. I want me deep inside you. I want to give you all of me. You’re mine.” He thrust into me. “This sexy body is mine and I fucking love you, baby. Okay?”

I nod my head and bite my lip as he thrust in one more time, his dick pulsating inside me. I cry out in pleasure as I feel myself clamp around him again. It’s the first time I’ve gotten a clitoral orgasm and a G-spot orgasm simultaneously. I can’t even begin to explain the feeling. I dig my fingers into his shoulder as it takes over my body. “Hot damn baby, I’ve never felt you cum all over my dick like that.”

In this moment, I feel as if nothing can touch us. Yes, we have problems to work out, but not tonight. We’ll talk in the morning when we’re both exhausted from sex all night and can’t move. Right now, I just want to love him and let him love me.

Chapter Twenty-Five

Kellan

The time I spent away from Phoenix fucking killed me. Literally, I wanted to die from the pain in my chest cavity. I knew as soon as I walked out that door that even if it meant me dying, I’d be back to claim her. I spent two weeks in a hotel in Chicago, going crazy, missing her. There was no way in hell, I was going to spend the rest of my days running from the people I love the most. I’d rather have a little bit of time left living fully than to live a long life alone. I’ve already seen that tear someone down and it’s the last thing I want for her. I stalked around that tiny hotel room, unable to think, eat or sleep. Not a second went by that she didn’t consume every part of my world. The truth is, my world no longer exists without her. She is it for me now. I can’t go back to the way it was before she walked into that tattoo shop.

With that in mind, I made a decision. A crazy ass one, but it has me here, in my bed, next to the person I want to spend the rest of my days with. I haven’t got all the details put together yet, but I swear with everything in me, I will fight to the end to be with my woman. This is where I belong; next to her.

I already made a promise to myself that I’m going to come clean about everything. As much as it scares me that Phoenix might look at me differently, I have no choice if I want a shot at keeping her. I refuse to give her up to another man and I know for a fact that if she leaves me again, she’ll end up with that Aiden guy or my asshole brother. Nah, fuck that; over my dead body. They will have to pry her from my cold, lifeless fingers.

Slipping out from under Phoenix’s peaceful body, I dash into the kitchen to cook my beautiful woman some breakfast. I noticed as soon as I laid eyes on her from across the bar that she hadn’t been eating well since I’d left. Shit, it took everything in me not to break out in tears. No matter what I do, I’m a fuck-up. There are risks if I leave as well as if I stay. I hate seeing her not put together because of me. She didn’t deserve to get hurt because of my idiotic mistakes.

I have a lot of making up to do and later tonight, I plan to make her a home cooked meal by candlelight followed by a romantic massage in the hot tub. Then I want her to curl up in my arms while we talk the whole night, making up for lost time. Call me a pussy, but I don’t care. After years of wasting my energy fucking the brains out of every attractive woman throwing themselves on me, it’s kind of refreshing to have what me and Phoenix have. She is well worth it and more. She’s the only thing that matters. I could care less about myself.

I walk back into the bedroom to find Phoenix standing by the dresser in one of my shirts. It’s huge on her, hitting the middle of her thighs. Holy damn, she looks hot in my clothes. As much as I want to bend her over my bed right now and slip inside of her, I want to show her how much I love her more. She needs to know. We’ve lost too much time already. I won’t lose anymore. I’ve learned time is precious.

Sneaking up behind her, I hold the tray aside with one hand while sliding the other around her waist. I will never get used to the way her body feels against mine. I fist the front of her shirt and growl into her ear. “It’s a shame you have to be so sexy. I want to be romantic, but you make me want to remove every stitch of clothing with my bare teeth, tasting every inch of you along the way. How am I supposed to control myself around you?” I run my tongue over her neck, teasi
ng her with the flicking motion of my barbell, knowing how much it drives her crazy. “Still tastes like cupcakes. Damn I missed that taste. You do know that’s now my favorite food don’t you? I need a sugar rush and I know exactly where to get it.” I run my finger around to her backside and down the crack of her ass before I stop on the location of all the sweet filling I know is there. Just like always my girl is ready for me.

She squirms in my arms and laughs while I hold her in place, nipping at her neck. “Usually, my desert doesn’t fight back. I can usually enjoy it any way I please.”

“Kellan, stop it!” she squeals while flipping in my arms to face me and placing her hands on my chest. “Why must you tease me? You know I have to be at work soon. I can’t be late, even if I’m with the owner’s son.”

I nod at the bed and smile. “Get in bed,” I demand.

“Kellan, we don’t have time.” She puts on a pouty face.

“Oh trust me, I would make time, but … that’s not it. I made you breakfast and I’m not letting you leave this house or bed until you eat.”

Smiling, she walks backwards teasing me with her eyes, until her legs meet the bed and she takes a seat. “You didn’t have to cook me breakfast, Kellan.” She looks at the tray of food eagerly as I set it in her lap. “I have to eat pretty quickly though so I can still have time to shower. Don’t be disappointed if I can’t finish this huge plate. This is a crap ton of hash browns and bacon. Where do you think I’m supposed to put all of this?” She laughs as I shove a piece of bacon in my mouth.

“Mmm, it’s damn delicious too. Now eat, baby. Okay? Let me take care of you.”

She looks up from eating her breakfast, giving me a worried look. I hate seeing her look that way. “You do know we need to talk about things later, right? I need to know the whole truth. I promise whatever it is, cannot be bad enough to make me stop loving you.”

Deep in my heart, I know she’s right. We belong to each other; we always have. She just knew it before I did. She’s always had a soft spot for me in her heart. She may take the truth hard, but in the end, I know she’ll still be in my arms. I’ll make sure of that. “I know; not tonight. I want one more night just to enjoy each other without any bad. Then I promise you I’ll explain everything, tomorrow.”

She nods her head in agreement and starts back on her breakfast.

Tomorrow is the day I tell her about Cape, Echo and the douchebags; about Adric and Kade. She deserves to know the truth. Tomorrow is also the day I need to figure out how to handle them before they realize I’m back and try to do something stupid.

Shit …

***

Sitting here, watching her in that tight little red dress as she sets up the bar has me so turned on and happy as shit to know she is mine. It still pisses me off knowing my brother has had his hands on her and I’m afraid I might blow up when I find out just how far they have gone. I plan to have a private little chat with him as soon as I can. It’s been a long time coming.

I love Kade and when everything is all said and done, he is still my brother. I’ll always have his back; just not when it comes to the woman I love. When it comes to her, he can back the fuck off of. I will hurt anyone over her.

She looks at me from behind the bar, peeking up from wiping down the coolers. “You don’t have to hang around being bored while I set up. I probably won’t even have any customers for at least another hour.” She holds the towel up and laughs. “I’ll be working with one of these for most of the morning.”

This woman must be crazy if she thinks I’m leaving her alone. Hell no. Until I get a handle on things, she’s not leaving my side. I can’t protect her if I’m not around.

“I’m staying. Watching you is all I need to be happy. I’m not leaving my woman’s side until I have to and I don’t have any clients since I’m not back at the shop yet officially.” I take a seat in a stool and shoot her a playful grin. “How about a beer, beautiful. I’ll give you a big tip later.”

She raises an eyebrow, grabs a beer and walks over to stand in front of me. “Is this tip going to be the biggest I’ve ever had?” She holds the beer at a distance, teasing me.

Looking her in the eyes, I grab the beer and bring it to my lips. “Absofuckinlutely.” I take a quick swig and smile before licking the taste off my mouth.

Setting my beer down, I lean over the bar and brush my bottom lip over hers, not wanting her to forget for one moment what I do to her. “I could give you that tip right now; bent over that desk in the back.”

She smiles against my lips and gets ready to back away, but I stop her by sucking her bottom lip into my mouth, taking her mouth hostage. Her eyes close as a moan escapes her lips, clearly enjoying being held captive. “Mmm … very tempting. You’ve always been hard to resist.”

The phone rings, breaking our little moment. Stupid piece of crap. “Wait,” I mumble, as she pulls her lip away.

“I have to get that. It might be Dale.” She tries to go get it, but I wrap my fingers in her hair and smash my lips against hers, getting a taste first.

I suck her lip in one last time before freeing her. “Now you can get it.”

She walks away blushing as I sip on my beer, watching her make her way over to grab the phone. She’s so damn beautiful; she blows my mind.

“Hello,” she says with a giggle. She looks confused for a second as she listens to what the person on the phone is saying. “Wait, Nancy. What’s wrong? Why do you sound like that? Where are you?”

Sensing her panic, I jump from the stool and rush behind the bar.

“What?” She begins to shake, while taking notice of me standing behind her. “What do you mean? Is he alright?”

I grab the phone from her hand and place it to my ear, nervous as shit as to why Phoenix is freaking out. “Mom! What’s going on? Are you okay?”

There’s a bunch of heavy breathing in the phone before she finally responds. “Hospital,” she whispers in a strained voice. “Kade is in the hospital and your father and I are out of town. One of the nurses called me, but wouldn’t give any information of his condition over the phone and asked if a family member could make it to the hospital. The only thing she said was … he … oh God. He swallowed a bunch of pills.” I hear sobbing before she speaks again. “My baby. I need to know that he’s okay. Please, go see your brother.”

My heart is pounding so loud, I’m surprised I can even hear what my mother is saying. No! No. No. No. Not this again. This cannot be happening. “I’m on my way.”

Hanging up the phone, I pull Phoenix into my arms and kiss her on the mouth before kissing her on the forehead. “I have to go. There’s an emergency with Kade.”

“I’ll go-”

Before she can finish, two men walk in, taking a seat next to the pool tables. One of them waves and smiles at Phoenix. “Can we get a quick round, Phoenix? We’re just in for lunch.”

She gives me a frustrated look before squeezing my hand. “Call me as soon as you find out what’s going on. Please. I need to know he’s okay.”

Looking her in the eyes, I get this sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach. I hate to fucking leave her, but I have to. Kade! My little shit brother. Why would he do it? Is it because of Phoenix? The thought makes me sick, but he’s had a thing for her since they were just kids. Love can make people do stupid things. I know that now. She doesn’t want him so I’ve never felt bad. I never want to give her up, but if it means losing my brother’s life, I’ll have no choice. I’ve lost one brother, I will not lose two.

I kiss her one last time, my lips desperately taking her in while I can. I have to be prepared for whatever it is I’ll find in that hospital bed.

“I’ll call soon. I promise.” I pull away and look her in the eyes. “I love you. You know that, right?”

Her face scrunches up and she almost looks as if she’s about to cry. “Yeah, I love you too, but you’re scaring me.” She squeezes my arm. “I never want to lose you; ever.”

I fo
rce a smile. “I know, baby. Neither do I. We’ll talk soon.”

I walk away, leaving her behind. Shit! Mother fucking fuck! This is not what I expected. This is beyond fucked up. My little brother better be okay. I can’t lose him too. I can’t go through this shit again.

On the way to the hospital, I’m so panicked I end up running a couple of red lights, not able to think straight. Luckily, there were no cars when I did. After what happened the last time I was put in this situation, you would think I’d learned my lesson and just run my ass there. Clearly, I’m a dumbass when I’m put under pressure.

Pushing my way through the doors, I run up to the first counter I see, yelling Kade’s name. “Kade Haze! Where is he?”

The lady behind the desk smiles at me as if everything is all fine and fucking dandy. Do I look like everything is fine and dandy? “Well!”

After a few seconds she finally nods her head and points around the corner, still calm as shit. This damn woman. “Room 112.”

I take off running, almost knocking a nurse down in the process. My eyes scan the numbers on the doors, until finally, I’m standing right outside his door. My heart is pounding so fast I can barely breathe.

Pushing the door open, I step inside to see Kade clothed in a gown hooked up to some IVs. Dark circles sit around his eyes and his skin looks unusually pale while his hair is a crazy mess.

Upon noticing my sudden appearance, his eyes open wide before closing again. Pushing his head into his pillow, he slams it over and over then he growls under his breath, while trying to keep his eyes open. “Oh fuck! You played right into the fucking trap.”

What is he talking about? He’s obviously in better condition than what I first expected. Still, that doesn’t tell me why he did it or if he’ll try it again.

I rush to his bedside and look down at him, wanting to kick his ass but protect him at the same time. “Shit, Kade. What were you thinking?” I pull the chair behind me closer to the bed and take a seat as close to him as I can. If he had enough strength, he’d maybe punch me, but I don’t give a shit. “Don’t you ever do that to me again. I thought you were fucking dead.”
