“I will,” I promised. Then, ready for a lighter subject, I asked, “Jenna, how’d you and Kade fall in love?”
“Behind her best friend’s back,” teased Tess.
“Yeah, that’s a little true,” Jenna laughed.
She opened up about the origin of her relationship with Kade. Winnie was next, and her story was both tragic and heartwarming, leaving me with a whole newfound respect for Roy. By the time I heard how Mustang and Tess got together, I was sure what it was I wanted. But rather than tell my friends right away, I let it settle within me as we ate, drank, and enjoyed each other’s company.
I couldn’t have imagined a better night.
Tess managed to make it until ten thirty before she started yawning uncontrollably. We helped clean up, Jenna and I calling our rides in the process. Kade and Jed arrived at the same time, and we all said goodbye, with a round of hugs between us girls.
I was tipsy and feeling carefree, so when Jed offered me his hand in order to mount his hog, I took it, but I didn’t climb on right away. Instead, I asked, “Papi? Can we go for a ride?”
“Now?”
I nodded.
“Hell, yeah.”
Grinning, I situated myself at his back and held on tight.
The night was just warm enough to keep me from being too cool, and the feel of Jed’s body ignited a heat within that fought against the wind on the road. I pressed my cheek to his back, closed my eyes, and I felt weightless—gliding through space and time with no worry or doubt. It was a temporary feeling, I knew, but I embraced it. I wanted to get lost in it, even if just for one ride.
I wasn’t sure how long we rode, but I knew when Jed pulled into his garage, I wasn’t ready to let him go. The vibration of his hog between my legs stirred my desire, and there was just enough wine coursing through me to make me bold. I was reminded of all I had in Jed. Sitting around, hearing how the others had fallen in love, it struck me anew that the man in my arms was more than I could have dreamed. We hadn’t known each other long, but he kept showing up for me—and that meant more than he’d ever know.
“Darlin’?” He glanced over his shoulder, resting one of his big hands over mine. “You good?”
Rather than answer him with my words, I slipped my hands free, grabbed hold of his hips, and maneuvered myself onto the ground. I then crooked my finger, beckoning him to me. He smirked before he dismounted, and I unbuttoned my jeans, sliding the zipper open.
He didn’t hesitate to follow my lead when I took his hand and guided his fingers into my panties. As soon as his skin touched mine, he took over. I sighed when he found my wetness, and he swore under his breath as I shuddered at his touch. He swirled his fingers around my clit, and I reached for his shoulders, needing something to keep me upright.
“Our ride get you hot for me, gorgeous?” he asked, reaching to insert two fingers inside of me.
“Yes,” I gasped, rolling my hips.
He flattened his palm against my swollen bundle of nerves, undulating his fingers in my core, making me pant for him.
“You gonna come like this?”
“Yes,” I breathed, my eyes locked with his.
His free hand tight around my waist, he moved his hand faster, and I gasped then held the air in my lungs as it hit me, just that fast.
“Fuck,” Jed muttered as my sex squeezed his fingers. He then brought his lips to mine and muttered, “Breathe.”
I sucked in his exhale and sealed my mouth with his. Circling my arms around his neck, I pressed myself as close as I could get. I lost his fingers from inside of me, but I didn’t mind. That same hand grabbed hold of my backside and hauled me even closer, showcasing his own desire as he kissed me wet and deep.
In spite of my orgasm, I was still teeming with lust, and I wanted more.
I wantedhim.
Allof him.
“Papi,” I muttered, breaking our kiss.
It’s all I had to say. The next thing I knew, he had my legs around his hips. He carried me only a few steps, and then he put me down, spun me around and bent me over the hood of my car.
“You on the pill, darlin’?”
