CHAPTER NINE
–MERCY –
“VP,” someone bellows from the hallway and starts pounding on the door.“We need you.”
Sable groans but keeps his eyes shut.His arms tighten around my body and I find myself smiling.When I read about sex, I was curious.My first experience with Linus was awful, while one kiss from Sable was enough to wipe away every horrible second with Linus.
I can still feel Sable between my legs and being wrapped up in his arms doesn’t give me anxiety the way I normally have.The only person who could hug me without warning was my mother.
Over time I’ve managed to overcome most of my anxiety, mostly with the help of the combination of medication and therapy.Doesn’t mean I’m perfect because I will always deal with issues...some more than others.
Snuggling closer I murmur, “You’re needed.”
“Fuck ’em,” he replies with a sleep ridden voice.I feel his lips against the top of my head when he adds, “I’m right where I want to be.”
The knocking gets louder, and this time it’s Kujo’s voice who bellows, “VP, open this door or I’m kicking it in.”
I jump off the bed and reach for my clothes.
Sable chuckles.“Calm down, princess.No one is going to kick in my door.”His voice is louder when he adds, “Be right out.”
I’m already fully dressed when Sable slides out of bed and scratches his toned belly.
“Keep staring, and we won’t make it out of this room,” he rumbles low and reaches down.
My eyes follow and I’m stunned to see his cock already hard.
“Fuck,” Sable mutters.“You make it too damn hard.”
“And that’s a bad thing?”I blurt without thinking, my gaze still enthralled with the way he slowly strokes himself.
A chuckle flows from him and sadly, he reaches for his jeans and starts to pull them on.Once they hang low on his hips, he adds his boots and stalks toward me.
Cupping my face, he lets his thumb glide over my lower lip.“I like the sound of your voice, trusting me with more words than you give others.It makes me feel real damn special.Not as special as my cock pumping your hot little tight pussy, but real fucking close.”
My heart leaps inside my chest.Feeling empowered by what he just said, I raise myself on my tiptoes and brush my lips against his.The rumble deep in his chest vibrates through me.I groan in disappointment when his lips leave mine.
“Hold that thought and we’ll jump right back to it once I’ve handled whatever it is they need me for, okay?”
I nod.
“You wanna come with and wait in the main room of the clubhouse or here?”
Thinking it over, the decision is easy enough.I’ve been locked up in a bedroom for days, first his cabin and now here.Being somewhere among others will give me enough distraction while I wait for Sable.
“Main room,” I whisper.
He laces his fingers with mine and we leave the room.The door to church is open but the room is empty.There are a few bikers lounging on the couch and chairs, some are on the barstools nursing a beer.Music is a soft background noise and it’s such a contradiction to my uncle’s club.
Music was always loud, bikers yelling, the stench of beer and sex, women scarcely clothed.Even if I don’t know these bikers, I do feel somewhat safer than I did while I spent a few days at my uncle’s club.
I know it’s mainly due to Sable.The blunt truth he gives me, and how he treats me.Sometimes I’m still waiting for the bubble to burst, not trusting anything about my life right now.I could very well be beaten and find myself out on the street at any second.One thing’s for sure...I’ll never take anything for granted ever again.
I used to stare up at the sky, watching the bright stars locked in the darkness and dream of what my future would entail.Losing my mother made those dreams become weary.Walking the cold dark streets in the middle of the night all by myself without a star in sight didn’t encourage me to follow weary dreams either.
A few hours in, the deal Sable offered me causes a spark of hope to rise within me.Hope this will be a turn in my life where the shit pile gets flushed and stays in the past.
“What’s going on?”Sable asks while keeping his fingers laced with mine.
