“Yeah,” Hawk says, “I need to go, too.” He looks over to Honey. “Walk me out?” he asks her, trying to make it so that only she can hear. But I’m standing right next to her and hear every word. She beams and smiles as the two of them walk toward the door.
I smile and think to myself,I really like them together.
Caden and I say goodnight and turn for the stairs. As we’re going up the steps, I observe the peace that has settled over the house. Hawk and Honey are holding hands walking toward the door. Rebel has Ari in his arms and I’m on my way upstairs to show my man how much I love him. All is right.
Honey
My heart soars as I walk out of the house with Hawk. When we get to his bike he just stares at me as he continues to hold onto my hand.
“Is this really gonna happen?” he asks.
I nod and reply, “I hope so.”
“And Ice?”
“I’m not gonna lie to you; I have feelings for Ice. I always have.” I see his expression turn from hopeful to disappointment and it breaks my heart, but he needs to understand. “Baby, look at me.” He does, and I continue. “You, more than anyone, know what a mess I was when I came to this club. Ice is my savior because he gave me a home and a family. I thought I was in love with him. But when Emma came back, I realized that although it may be love, it’s not the kind of love that he has for Emma or that I have always had for you. He may have been my savior, but you were always my confidant, my rock, and my love.”
“I needed to hear that,” he says.
“And I needed to say it.”
He caresses the side of my cheek and then says, “When you hooked up with Ice, I thought we were done. He is my prez and best friend, and there is no way I was going to interfere with that. I couldn’t go against my prez. But then Emma came into the picture and I realized that he had been in love with her all his life. She was the woman for him. As much as I hated seeing you hurting, I was hopeful. But you had already pushed me so far out of your life I didn’t know what to think.”
“I’m sorry, I should never have pushed you away. But I never wanted there to be any trouble between you and Ice. So I felt that keeping my distance would make things easier.”
He wraps his arm around my waist and pulls me close against him. “Are you still pushing me away?” he asks breathlessly.
“No,” I reply, feeling his hot breath against my lips as he bends down to kiss me. At first, his lips are soft, hesitant, as if he is afraid that I will push him away. But when a moan escapes my lips, he knows there is no way in hell I’m pushing him away and he deepens the kiss, pulling me closer and ravaging my mouth.
Instinctively, I wrap my arms around his neck and my body molds against him. I can feel his erection pushing against my core as my tongue meets every desperate stroke of his tongue. I want him to take me right here, so I reach for the buckle of his belt. His hand immediately goes to my hand to stop me.
“Oh God, Honey,” he pleads. “I want this, God knows how much I want this, but I’m saying no. Not in Ice’s driveway.”
“But …” I interrupt, but he quickly stops me from saying any more.
“Our first time is gonna be special, as it should be. It’s definitely not happening in Ice’s home, his porch, his yard, or his fucking driveway.”
I giggle at his words as I realize he’s right. I don’t want our first time to be here.
“You’re laughing at me,” he says, surprised.
Smiling, I reply, “No babe, not laughing at you. Laughing ‘cause you are right. Thank you.”
He smiles back. “I gotta go, babe. See you tomorrow.”
“You got it, big guy,” I reply. He kisses me on the cheek and proceeds to mount his bike. Revving the engine and placing his helmet on his head, he waves and drives off.
God, I love that man, I think to myself as I walk back into the house.
Emma
We get to our room and I walk over to Cade and kiss him. He pulls me into his arms as we both fall onto the bed.
The urgency to have him inside of me overwhelms me. I wasn’t kidding earlier when I mentioned that I couldn’t control my hormones. If I don’t get any relief from him right now, I feel as if I will die.
I push him down onto the bed as I climb on top of him, straddling him. I need the friction that only he can provide and I really don’t care that we are both still clothed. Looking down at the man I have loved all my life, I take in the beauty of his body. His erection is bulging through his jeans and the fact that he is straining to get free turns me on more than having him completely exposed. I dip my body down and rub myself against him, needing to feel him more than I ever thought possible. “Stay!” I say to him and I can tell by the look on his face that he knows he better not move.
I climb off him and unzip my jeans. Pulling down my jeans and my panties all at the same time, I shimmy out of them. I climb back up on him. I can tell the fact that he is not in control is killing him. He is still fully clothed as I begin to rub my wetness all over his erection and his jeans. He growls as he moves with me, closing his eyes. The shadow that I saw on his face from earlier is now gone. He needs this as much as I do.
