“That first day in the shop, you called me babe but I didn’t know if you were talking to me. I looked around, saw a couple bikers, and figured you must’ve been talking to me because I couldn’t see any man calling them babe.”
“I take it Everett was one of them?”
“Yup. That’s what I get for judging a book by its cover. I’ve seen him with women, so is Key…”
Jake raised a shoulder and said, “Key is Key.”
When we got to the table, I sat as official introductions were made before Jake walked towards the stage.
I watched as a few women tried to stop him to talk. Based on their body language, it wasn’t the charity they wanted to help.
Xavier jerked his side towards Jake. “Piper, don’t let that shit get to you.”
“It doesn’t. He’s freakin’ hot, no woman could resist.”
“Too bad for them there’s only one woman he can’t resist,” Key said, his smile shy but loaded with affection.
I love my boys.
Jake reached the microphone and began his closing speech for the evening. As he talked, a few men approached me and asked if I wanted to grab a drink. I was polite in declining, and they were polite with the rejection.
Jake introduced the representative before returning to the table.
“Damn, be nice if I could leave my woman for five minutes,” Jake said with a smile in place, though it didn’t quite reach his eyes. “Piper, you ready to go?” His fists were clenched so hard his knuckles were white, though he was trying to look calm.
“Yeah.” The day had caught up with me long ago and I was running on fumes.
I stood and said my goodbyes. Jake did a jerky chin lift to the table.
As we walked towards the waiting limo, Jake, silent and tense, kept his hand on my lower back.
As soon as the car door closed, he pulled me to him and kissed me so hard it almost hurt. After unfastening the halter, he pushed the dress down.
I lifted my hips from the seat so he could drag it the rest of the way off, letting it fall to the floor in a pool of dark purple.
Grabbing my waist, he pulled me to him. I swung a leg over his thighs to straddle him. Burrowing his head in my neck, he used his tongue, teeth, and lips to drive me wild.
“Oh God, Jake.” I pushed myself against the hardness in his jeans, wishing for nothing between us.
“I lose my fuckin’ head when it comes to you.”
“There were just as many women trying to talk to you, trying to get in your pants. Which, by the way, make your ass look awesome. If you have twenty or so more pairs, that’d be great.”
Jake sat back and smiled at me, his hands still cupping my ass. “You gotta know there’s no one I’d rather have been with tonight. Especially right now with your sweet ass on my cock. But seein’ another man tryin’ to be in my place right now, with you on their dick? Fuck that.”
I rubbed my fingertips on his stubble. “But you’re the only one whose lap I want to be on.”
“You cool with the condo tonight?”
I nodded my answer. I was fine sleeping anywhere as long as I was with him.
He picked up a phone and told the driver where we were going. After hanging up, he pulled me closer and kissed me again. His hand lifted from my ass and moved up to rub my nipple. Rolling it between his finger and thumb, he tugged slightly at the barbell, making me moan into his mouth.
When we pulled in front of the condo, Jake grabbed my dress and handed me his tux jacket to put on.
I fought a moan when the cool, softness of the fabric rubbed against my sensitive nipples.
Stepping out of the limo, he leaned back in and took my hand to help me out. With my hand still in his, I hurried to keep up with Jake’s long strides.
