“You called me a manipulator! You just accused me of cheating when that wasn’t what I was doing! You blamed your paranoia on me when I could not just put you in danger! I lived a hard life back in those days. I still fucking do. And I wasn’t going to allow you to get wrapped up in that shit. Not with my sister, or my mother, or my father, or my fucking friends, Laiken!”
“But couldn’t you see that’s all I wanted from you?! I didn’t want your money or your idiotic idea of romance or for you to fuck my brains out all the damn time. I wanted your life, Jace. I wanted your world. I wanted to be a part of it. Not an escape from it,” she said.
“Only you would call being someone’s escape a shitty thing,” I said, snickering.
“And either way, you’re the one who fucking threw me out. Who grabbed my arm, tossed me out onto the porch, and slammed the door closed in my fucking face. What the hell was I supposed to do? Knock on the door and ask for your forgiveness? I wasn’t your princess, Jace. I wasn’t your shy little girl that would come crawling back to you when I made you angry.”
“And I never assumed you were!” I exclaimed.
“Then how the fuck did I break your heart!?” she asked.
“Because you were just fucking gone after that!” I yelled.
“Of course I was! You literally threw me out!”
“There was nothing! No phone calls. No text messages. You weren’t at school, and you fucking weren’t at home. I traveled everywhere to find you after that damn fight. Everywhere! I drove to every damn city we ever traveled to and went into every damn bar I ever took you to! I was desperate to find you! I even attended your fucking graduation ceremony just so I could corner you so we could talk.”
My chest was panting as Laiken stared at me with wide eyes. Her anger was cracking. Her strong body was crumbling. Her shoulders settled back into her body, and she settled back onto her feet. Her fists unfurled, and her fiery eyes extinguished into burning embers. I could see the shock rolling over her face as she turned my words over in her head.
“You… did what?” Laiken asked.
“You might not have given a shit about me over these past few years, but I never forgot you. I never forgot the beauty of your eyes and the feel of your skin against mine. I never forgot how your laughter washed over my body whenever I got a chance to pull it from you. I never forgot how wonderful it had been to feel your body pressed into mine as we rode my bike. And I sure as hell never forgot what your lips felt like on mine. You think I didn’t let you in? Laiken, I let you in and never fucking let go.”
Her hazel eyes locked on mine as her entire body relaxed. A tear slowly made its way down her cheek, and I had to fight the urge to wipe it away. I was looking at Laiken for the first time in years, and I was witnessing her cry for the third time ever. She hurt. She was in pain. She had been carrying around all this anger, trying to stuff it down while she led her own life. It was obvious she had left. It was the only explanation I had to not being able to find her after the fight.
“I searched for days, Laiken,” I said. “Weeks, even. Every memory I could conjure of us, I went there. Hoping to find you. Hoping to get you to myself so I could talk to you about that fight. I wanted to apologize to you, for fuck’s sake. For grabbing you the way I did. It was disgusting of me. It made me feel like… like my father.”
I watched another tear fall from her dimly lit eyes. I took a step closer to her before I set the helmets on my bike. No woman should ever cry alone. Especially when she was in the presence of someone. I took another step towards Laiken and hoped she wouldn’t run from me.
But the reaction I got was very different from the one I expected.
Before I could reach out to dry her tears, her hands reached out for my body. They gripped my leather jacket, fisting the material as she pulled me closer. She closed the gap between us as she stood up onto her toes, tears freely flowing down her face as she crashed her lips up into mine.
And for the first time in years, I felt whole again.
Chapter 14
Laiken
His lips felt like ice against the fire dancing upon mine. I could feel my body trembling as I melted into him. His leather was familiar in the palms of my hands as my body pressed itself into him. I could taste his tongue on the tip of mine for the first time in years. His arms encompassed the whole of me, pulling me towards him as he drew in desperate breaths. Our teeth scraped against one another as our tongues battled for dominance, but that familiar ache in my gut was still present.
Anger.
Frustration.
Betrayal.
Shoving him away from me, he stumbled back. His eyes were wild with lust as he ripped his jacket off his shoulders. I strode back towards him and placed my hands on his chest, shoving him again and again until his back hit the wall. The shadows covered our bodies as our lips crashed together again. His hands ran all over my body, cupping my clothed breasts and squeezing my ass. I could feel his cock growing against my stomach as his warmth wrapped around my body.
But I was going to show him.
Show him what it felt like to be grabbed and cast aside.
He swung me around and pressed me into the building as his lips scaled down my neck. My hands raked through his hair as his beard tickled my skin. My nipples had risen to puckered nubs behind my bra, scraping against the material as his hands ran up my shirt. The calluses on his hands burned my skin, pulling moans from my lips. I ripped his head up and found his lips again, then I pressed my hips into his body.
I knew what I wanted to feel from him, and I wasn’t settling for anything less.
My hands flew to my pants as I shoved them down my body. My underwear was soaked, and the smell of my arousal hit both our nostrils. I looked into Jace’s eyes, watching them dilate with passion and wild abandon as he licked his lips.
I pulled his head back and frowned before I shoved him to his knees.
I pushed his head down before I pulled him into my pussy. It was dripping down my thighs as I parted my knees for him. My back laid against the abandoned building we were behind, the wind shivering my skin as Jace’s face hummed into my warmth. I twisted my hand into his hair, raking my fingernails against his scalp as he growled into my body.
“Lick,” I said.
I felt his tongue slid from between his lips and part my folds. His hands planted on my knees, shoving them further apart to gain more access. My juices were dripping onto him, tainting the sand underneath us as he licked a thick stripe up my slit.
My legs shook as my eyes rolled into the back of my head.
Years. It had been years since I’d allowed myself to think of this. To remember how good his tongue could make me feel. As he slid his wide tongue into my pussy and pressed his hands to my knees, I could feel myself opening up to him. Showing him a side of me that had taken months for him to coax out of me.
His tongue found my clit and flicked it expertly. I held him tightly to my body as my hips rolled into his mouth. I coated his face with my scent, covering him with the one thing I knew he wanted more than anything. He moaned into my pussy, ricocheting vibrations up my core
before he pressed his tongue deep into my body.
“The only good thing you ever did give me,” I said breathlessly.
I looked at him and saw his eyes flicker up to mine. His gaze was sharp, chastising me as I grinned down at him. I wrenched him away, and he took a big breath, then I placed him back at my pussy as he pulled my lips apart.
“Suck that clit,” I said. “Do what you’re supposed to.”
He took my breath away as he set himself to work. His lips wrapped around my swollen clit while his tongue flicked away. He pressed and circled as his beard tickled the insides of my thighs. I squeezed my legs around his face as he held his breath. I could feel his body shaking. I could feel his skin heating up. I ground down into him as that coil began to wind up in my gut, and just as I was about to lose it, I pushed myself off the wall.
Jace gripped onto my hips and held me towards him, his strength sending me over the edge. I was standing on my tip toes as I held onto his hair for leverage, shaking and writhing against nothing but his face. Stars burst into my vision as more tears brewed behind my eyes, and as I came down from my high, I could hear him swallowing me down.
He was gulping me down. Like his body had been starved of water and I was his only source of it.
I stumbled back into the wall as my pants hung around my ankles. My body was quaking, and my knees were weak. My throat was hoarse from biting back the urge to moan his name. He wasn’t going to get that from me. He wasn’t going to get the satisfaction of hearing his name drip from my lips.
Just as I was regaining my composure, I felt my pants pulled off my legs and something strong pin me to the wall. I opened my eyes and looked up into the nighttime sky, but it was obstructed by Jace’s angry gaze. His arms flipped me around and pressed my chest into the wall, his hand pressed between my shoulder blades as I heard him fiddle with his belt.
“The only good thing I ever did for you?” he asked as he slid his pants down. “You think that was the only thing I was ever good at?”
