He chuckled, sexy and dark against my ear. “You like that, don’t you, Lila? Being bad, being my bad girl? Everyone knowing you’re mine. That if they looked up right now, they’d see it for themselves?”
“Yes.”
“You’ve wanted to be bad for so long, haven’t you, baby?”
I sobbed. “Yes.”
“You never have to hide from me, not any part of yourself, not from me. I love you the way you are, Lila. You’re fucking perfect.”
Then he held me tighter and took me harder, faster. His hand slid down my stomach and between my legs to work my clit.
I erupted, pressing back into him, crying out as I came, squeezing down on him so hard it had to hurt. Jesse groaned against my skin, hot breath exploding from his mouth as he pulsed inside me, coming with me.
He held me up, grinding against my ass until he’d worked every last bit of pleasure from me, from us both. Then he eased out, pulled off the condom, throwing it in the trash, and swung me up into his arms. He crossed the room and lowered me onto his bed, coming down on top of me.
Looking down at me, he ran his hand over the stiff leather resting over my breast. “You know what this means, don’t you, Bambi?”
I cupped his strong jaw. “Yes.”
“Tell me,” he said roughly.
“That we belong to each other.”
His eyes darkened and went bright at the same time.
“That you’ll protect me,” I went on, as my hand moved to his strong throat. “Care for me. That I’m the only woman you want.” I traced the ink at the base of his throat and down his chest. “That you love me.”
He shoved my legs wide, pinning me to the bed. “Yeah, I fucking love you,” he said low and rough. “Christ, Lila, I didn’t know it was possible to feel this way. I’ll never let anyone hurt you, or scare you, shit, even look at you the wrong way, not ever again.”
I smiled up at him, lips trembling. “I love you, Jesse.”
He rolled, pulling me over him, and seconds later he had another condom on and was pushing inside me. “Think you should wear that every time you ride me.”
I swiveled my hips, then leaned forward, laughing softly when his eyes rolled back in his head. “Okay,” I said breathlessly.
“Yeah?” he said, grinning and panting at the same time.
I rolled my hips again and clamped down hard around his dick. “I kind of like having you at my mercy.”
Jesse groaned, then pulled me down for a hard kiss. “I always have been.”
Epilogue
Jesse
Seven months later
I dragged the back of my hand over my mouth as Lila crossed the yard toward the other old ladies. She was wearing tiny little cut-off shorts, a white tank top, and her leather vest letting everyone know she was mine. Christ, the shorts and tank hugged her round ass and gorgeous tits to perfection. We’d just gotten here and I still hadn’t recovered from having her behind me on my bike, pressed against my back.
She laughed at something Kelly said and accepted a beer from Mandy, then ran to meet Sofia when she walked in, giving her a tight hug. Soph had started seeing Colt, one of the brothers. He was a good guy, one of the best, and he’d treat her like she deserved.
Lila took her hand and they joined the others. My gaze moved over my girl, and yeah, I was as obsessed with her now as I was when I first saw her. I wanted to go over and drag her off to a quiet corner somewhere, bend her over and fuck her again.
We were celebrating her birthday. The other women had wanted to do something for her. We’d already had a party at Dane and Everly’s a couple nights ago with her Rocktown friends. But her other family wanted to make her feel special as well. They loved her.
My girl was fierce and sweet, and I wasn’t the only one who saw it.
I’d found us a house just outside of Spring Haven. It was the perfect location for us. The place had some land and was only a thirty-minute commute to Rocktown and her job at the library. It was close to my mom and the club, and since I was floating between Rocktown Ink and the club’s tattoo parlor in Black Stone, it worked for me as well.
