Page 34 of Tanner (Dirty Misfits MC 5)
Before his body rolled deeply against my own.
“Oh, Tanner.”
I breathed the air I afforded him. “You’re perfect, Summer. Perfect for me, after all these years.”
Tears rushed my eyes. “I love you. Please tell me we’ll make it out of this alive.”
He released my hand, gripped my chin, and forced me to look into his eyes. “Even if it kills me, you two will make it out of this alive. You have my word.”
My eyes watered. “I don’t want you to die.”
He kissed my lips softly. “Then, I won’t.”
I lost myself in the rippling strength of his body. I lost myself in the way he pushed electricity through my bones with every thrust of his hips. The way he growled and grunted with his efforts stopped my heart, and every time he kissed me, he breathed life back into that same unbeating heart.
I had missed him so much that I didn’t realize how much it had affected my life, my mind, and my soul.
That was, until I heard those words dripping from his lips.
“I love you, Summer. I love you. I’m gonna come. Come with me. Do it. I know you can.”
He shoved himself deep inside of me before his thumb pressed against my swollen clit, and as he stood there, watching me fuck myself against him, I chased my high. I locked my ankles around his neck and pushed against his finger as my walls clamped around him. My eyes rolled back as I fisted the sheets within my hands, white-knuckling the soft fabric.
But it wasn’t until I heard those magic words that I finally fell over the edge for a second time.
“There’s a good girl,” Tanner growled.
“Oh, God! Yes!” I exclaimed.
My entire word went blank as my ecstasy robbed me of my breath. My legs slipped from his shoulders and fell off to his sides before he collapsed on top of me, covering my mouth with his as he spilled into me. The evidence of our love dripped down my ass crack. And as he crawled into bed with me, scooting me up with his arm wrapped around my back, I collapsed against him as a wet spot formed below me.
But I wasn’t in it for too long.
“Up we go,” he groaned.
He rolled me over until I was on top with my ear pressed against his heart. My eyes fluttered closed as he ran his fingers through my hair like he always used to do when we were teenagers. I closed my eyes and let myself sink into his warmth. His muscles girded me, creating a foundation for my body to rest upon as he panted for his own breath.
And as my eyes fell closed with exhaustion, I drew in a deep breath.
“What time is it?” I murmured.
He chuckled before he shifted around. “Eleven thirty.”
I sighed. “Her party’s over in an hour.”
“Are they feeding her lunch?”
I nodded mindlessly. “Yep.”
“Good. That means one less stop for us.”
I licked my lips. “So, are you going to be following us on your bike or something while I drive her to Sloane’s?”
He paused. “Actually, I think the plan is for all of us to travel in cars.”
I furrowed my brow. “I’m not following.”
He snickered. “Let my brain right itself, and then we can talk.”
I kissed his chest right where his heart was beating. “I like that some things don’t change.”
He leaned up and kissed my forehead. “Me, too.”
I wasn’t sure how long I laid there, but eventually darkness took over my vision. And when I came to, I found myself alone in bed with the comforter pulled over my naked body.
Which panicked me.
“Tanner?” I asked.
His voice emanated from the corner. “I’m here.”
I sat up and squinted my eyes to see him. “What time is it?”
He grinned. “Twelve, on the dot.”
I threw the comforter off my body. “I gotta get changed. I have to get her stuff so we can go pick her up.”
He stood to his feet. “Why don’t we go over the plan before we start packing up, yeah?”
I slowly looked up at him. “What do you know that I don’t?”
He eased me back down against the edge of the bed before he pulled the comforter over my shoulders.
“Brooks and I were talking out in the hallway while you were taking a little nap, and the both of us came to the conclusion that it’s smarter to drive than it is to take our noisy bikes.”
I nodded. “It’ll also be smart for you guys to leave your leather jackets behind.”
He sat next to me. “That’s the plan. What’s going to happen is you’re going to take one of the vehicles that Porter and Brooks are currently retrieving, and then they’re going to follow you a few car lengths back the entire way to get Cheyenne as well as the entire way to your sister’s.”
