His arm wraps around me and gives me a comforting squeeze. “I’m sure things will be better after you all sit down and talk. And then you can go off on your grand adventure knowing it’s not just running away.”
Looking up, I rest my chin on his chest and circle his nipple with my fingertip. His face is inscrutable. A hard mask in place. What I wouldn’t give to look into those beautiful emerald green eyes as he tells me that he wants me to stay. Maybe even that he loves me.
There is an ache in my heart. I don’t want to go. Now that I’ve found Falan I don’t want to let him go. But he hasn’t said anything about wanting me to stay. But he wouldn’t, would he?
Well hell, if this is the new me, I should just ask him. If I’m going to be heart broken either way. Would it really hurt that much more to hear the words from him?
With a deep breath in for extra courage I clear my throat. “What if I want this to be my grand adventure.”
“This?” He asks, raising one eyebrow but other than that, he is completely still.
Damn him, he is going to make me spell it out.
I left home. I walked into that biker bar. I used my stun gun on this man. I slept the night in my car out in the wilds. I can do this.
Dipping my head I run my tongue over his nipple. He jumps under me. His grip on me tightens. In a deep, serious voice he asks me, “You want to stay here….with me?”
I nod. In one swift movement and with a squeal of surprise he has me under his big body. Kissing me hungerily.
When I’m quite breathless he leans back and gives me a stern look.
“You are so much more than I deserve. You deserve more than I can give you. But fuck me, from the moment I saw you…. You are brave and such a free spirit and you…you’ve woken something in me. It’s like I want to start living again. But Ariel, I can’t let you throw your life away on me. But damn it, I will take whatever you give me.”
He is kissing me again but I push him back. My heart soaring at his words. Gently running my fingertips over his beautiful face. “You deserve to be loved, Falan. I don’t care what you have done in the past. I know you are a good man. Look how you have protected me. Been gentle with me. I think we could have a life together. Our own adventure.”
This time I’m the one to flip us over. Climbing on top of his big, muscular body. Touching him all over, while his hands grip my hips.
“You’re very bold, brat. Just because I want you doesn’t mean you can always get your way.”
I grind down, moving my hips over his rock, hard erection. Loving the feeling of power beneath me. I give him a wicked grin as he lets out a groan.
“How about we keep the power dynamic even between us. But all my life I’ve stayed quiet. Right now I want to be in control. And loud.” I spread my hands over his chest. I can feelhis cock nudging at the entrance to my pussy. Easing him into me as I sink down. Moaning as I feel every inch of him. Loving how big and thick he is. Filling me. Stretching me.
“Ride me, brat. Ride me hard. And when your ready I want you to call out to the wilds how fucking good this feels.”
He is thrusting up his hips. His big hands moving my hips. I’m kidding myself that I’m the one in control here. With his cock in me I’m his to control. But I’m going to ride him and take my pleasure. My bad boy. My protector. My wild mountain man.
Chapter 8
Ariel
Returning home and explaining things to my family was not easy. I’ve never stood up to them before. But, with my arms around Falan, on the back of his bike, the roar of the engine under me, I drew power from the experience.
Standing with Falan a couple of doors down from my parents house, he leans back against the bike , hugging me to him. This is where we stay goodbye. Even though it’s probably only for a day or two, everything feels so new and powerful, we both struggle to let go.
“I think I should come in. I don’t like the idea of you going in there alone.”
I lean back and smile up at him. “I’ll be fine. They are good parents, they’ll want me to be happy.”
He tucks a curl behind my ear. “I could help.”
I shake my head. “I don’t think you should be there when I tell them I’m dropping out of college.” I put my hands under his t’shirt, letting the warm of his rock hard abs warm me. “And I’m not sure you should be there when I tell them I’ve fallen in love with a motorcycle riding, member of the Fallen Angels, older, reclusive mountain man.”
He smiles. “Okay I get your point.” He kisses me softly. But then grips me to him and squeezes my ass. “And not so reclusive anymore.”
I push him away with a laugh. As he gets on his bike and gets himself settled, he looks at me, shakes his head and smiles. “I can’t believe there was ever a time you didn’t stand up for yourself. You seem all powerful and confident to me. And sexy as all hell.”
His words make me feel all hot and wobbly. My man can melt me with just a few words. But it’s true. It’s only been a few days but I have changed. Meeting Falan has given me the strength I needed. The courage to be my own person.
