Ah. “You’re concerned about what people might think since you’re a lawyer.”
“I mean, wouldn't you be?”
I paused. “I’ll admit, it’s a bit odd. You work strictly in the white and I practically live on the edge of gray and black.”
“It could affect my reputation and seep into my career.”
“I would say I don’t care, but it’s not my reputation on the line. Nor my career. All I know is that I want you safe. That’s all that matters to me.”
Her eyes danced between mine before a small smile slid across her cheeks.
“I can’t have a career if I don’t make it out of this.”
I grinned. “No, you can’t.”
“And my reputation means nothing if I can’t work because some crew has me as a target.”
“That’s a very good point.”
“And it’s not like you guys deal in drugs or guns or any of that stuff. Right…?”
I shook my head. “You have my word that we don’t touch the stuff. Our bars are above board and legal. You don’t have to worry about that.”
She nodded slowly. “So, I guess there’s only a matter of pinning down when I should move in.”
My eyes darkened. “Are you saying what I think you’re saying?”
She smiled up at me. “I guess you’ve got me. Hook, line, and sinker.”
And as my lips claimed hers in a heated kiss, I knew she’d be mine forever.
Because I was never letting this woman go. So long as I lived.18JoannaI stretched my hands over my head as the bacon crackled in the pan. Last night had ended on a very good note, despite the turn it had taken. And waking up to Link had always been the treasure of a lifetime. The idea of always waking up to him made my heart skip a beat. The idea of being able to curl up against him naked every evening made my skin pucker. I looked up and gazed out the kitchen window, catching my soft reflection in the glass.
And the hickeys on my neck made me giggle.
I turned the bacon in the pan as my mind wandered about. I wasn't sure how I’d balance a life in the law as well as a life in a motorcycle crew like this. But I’d fallen for Link. At some point in time, my heart had caved to him. Wholly, and completely. I felt it when we made love last night. I felt it with every kiss he pressed against my skin and every stroke of his fingers against my body. I felt it in the way my heart stopped as I orgasmed around his cock. I felt it in the way he looked down at me, never pulling his eyes from mine. I felt it in the way I held him, and the way he held me in return.
We were hopelessly in love.
And nothing could change that.
“Mmm, I smell bacon.”
I grinned at the sound of his gravelly voice. “Morning, sunshine.”
His arms wrapped around me as he placed a kiss into the crook of my neck. I shivered with delight as I drew a deep breath in through my nose. His fingers played with the hem of my shirt. I smiled as he nibbled along my exposed shoulder. Sleeping in his shirt last night felt fantastic. I woke up smelling like him, and it felt like he had himself wrapped around me all night.
“If you keep wearing my shit, I’m going to throw your clothes out and make it mandatory.”
I snickered. “Good luck. I’ve got some good clothes in my closet that I’m very protective of.”
“And I can’t wait to see them on you.”
Link’s arm reached around before he moved the bacon off the stove. I furrowed my brow as he plucked the tongs from my hand, then his palms fell to my hips. He spun me around and moved me off to the side. He picked me up, settling me against the kitchen counter as I clung to him. I giggled and gasped. He pushed himself between my legs as his hand threaded through my hair.
Then, he pulled my head back softly, opening up my neck.
“I know exactly what I want for breakfast,” he murmured.
I moaned as his lips fell to my neck. His free hand crept up my thigh, forcing goosebumps to trickle along my skin. I sighed with relief as he kissed down my neck. As he pulled the neckline of his shirt off my shoulder just to kiss more of me. I held tightly onto any part of him I could find. His arms. His hair. The muscles of his back. I clung to him as his lips explored me. Kissing, sucking, and marking everything in its path.
I couldn't take it any longer, though.
I had to have him.
“Link,” I whimpered.
He growled. “I know what that means.”
My eyes fell closed as the shuffling of clothes filled my ears. And before I knew it, his hands scooted me to the edge of the counter. He spread my knees open, exposing my naked pussy. And as he slid the head of his cock up and down my slit, I shivered with delight.
