“I happen to have a very good sense of what’s going on around me,” Ariel said.
“So you think,” Hawk said.
“No, so I know.” She crossed her hands under her chest.
“You sure about that? Seems to me you had blinders in certain areas.”
“What’s that supposed to mean?” she said.
“This life isn’t what you expected, is it? I see it in your face often.”
“Outside looking in is a hell of a lot different from living it, you know?” she said.
“Mm hmm.” She narrowed her eyes. “Come on, we both know you were uptight and judgmental.”
“Try cautious. My girls were blinded by love. Someone had to be on the lookout for bullshit.”
“And now?” Hawk asked, curious to see what had brought about the changes in her.
“Now I know you’re legit.” She shrugged. “It’s a life you can’t truly understand until you’re in it. But I’m sure you know that.”
He nodded his head toward the door. “Let’s go. I have something I want to show you.”
They headed outside and he couldn’t help but notice she felt damn good on the back of his bike. This ruse had taken him by surprise, and he liked it more than he should. After a lifetime of keeping women at bay, he’d been forced to create an opening.
Who knew the romance writer would glide in so easily and latch on to the lifestyle like she’d been born to it? Her thighs squeezed him tight, and he hit the throttle trying to outrace his filthy thoughts.
Twenty minutes later, the heat pouring off her body damn near scorched him. He turned down the familiar turnoff and pushed his bike as much as he dared over the gravel. He skidded to a halt in front of the two-story family farmhouse.
“Where are we? Whose place is this?”
Hawk turned and grabbed her hair, pulling her to him. He slammed his mouth over hers and she gasped in shock, giving him an opening he exploited. Slipping his tongue into her mouth, he savored the taste of something sweet and her unique flavor. “Fucking siren,” he muttered against her lips. Hefting her up by her hips, he placed her into his lap and rolled his hips into the wet crotch of her jeans. “So wet. You love it as much as I do.”
“I… W-what if someone sees us?”
“This is my family’s land. No one will see anything, and I’m going to take you here on my bike, Ariel.” He pushed her down and thrust up, hard. “And you’re going to love every minute of it.” He popped the top button on her jeans. “Because deep down you’re a little wild.” He slid his hands inside her underwear and she shuddered. “You got wildness in your eyes. I can think of so many better uses for that energy.” Her wetness coated his fingers, and he caressed her clit between his two fingers.
“Oh, Hawk.”
“That’s right. I love it when you say my name, Ariel. It lets me know you understand who you belong to.”
“I-I don’t belong to you.” She fought to get the words out, narrowing her eyes as she brought her thighs together.
“No? Not yet?” He worked his hands deeper and slipped a finger inside her tightness. “Do you let anyone else touch you like this?”
“No,” she rasped.
“Damn straight you don’t. You can fight all you want, but it’s a matter of time until you admit it.”
“No.” She shook her head, and he chuckled.
“I like it when you fight. It just makes me more determined.” He pulled out and drove two fingers deep into her wetness. Her back arched. She cried out panting as she gripped the handle bars of the bike gaining leverage as she worked herself against him.
“That’s right, come apart for me, Red. I want to see behind those walls you have up.” Her pussy pulsed and molded around his fingers as her body shook. The smell of her arousal turned his cock to stone. “Stand up, we need to get those pants down before I rip them off you.” Need flared. They stumbled off the bike. He shoved the jeans down to her ankles and laid her across the only lady he’d ever cared for, until now.
“Hold on to the handles, you’re going to need the stability.” He nipped her inner thigh and buried his face between her legs, seeking her salty sweet center with his questing tongue. He fed off her excitement. It did something to a man knowing he was hitting just the right spot. He sucked her swollen clit into his mouth and eased two fingers inside her.
“Yes, Hawk. Yes. So good.”
