“Tell me his name.” His tone was so gentle and those eyes implored, but I didn’t know what to tell him.
“There are too many monsters to name, Anthony. My mom kept a variety of dick around, most of them weren’t nice. Her boyfriends were always assholes, and the sad thing was you never wanted her to get rid of him, because the next one was almost guaranteed to be worse. It’s like she was always…” I raised my hand in an incline, “There was never any going backwards for her. I just– You want to do something for me? Just… let me know if things get bad for her?”
“Who?”
“Joplin. My sister. If you hear something about her, just tell me. That’s all I want you to do. I don’t want to upset things. I don’t want trouble…” His face fell, like I’d asked for the impossible.
“I meant it. I don’t want something happening that might put her in a worse position…” I insisted and he eventually nodded.
“Anthony, she’s all I have…” I needed to know he heard me.
Those dark-blue jewels lifted and locked on me so fast it scared me a little. I brought my leg over the bike to stand in front of him, and he stepped toward me, preventing my dismount. Histall frame came in close, and I cowered. A tiny, startled sound caught in my throat as I leaned back toward the handlebars.
“Don’t do that,” he whispered, his fingers tangling in my hair.
My breath caught, as he came closer and planted a kiss on the top of my head.
“Don’t ever cower from anyone, and definitely not me.” His firm touch slid down my face and cupped my jaw.
I’d never been kissed so tenderly. As quickly as I’d froze, he melted the fear away.
“Tell me you’re mine,” he whispered, his mouth moving beneath my ear to lay another kiss along my neck.
The soft touch of his lips teased over me, while he repeated his demand.
“I am,” I huffed, while his stubble trailed my chest. He reached under my sundress, hooked my underwear, and skimmed them off my hips with a tug.
“I think you forgot,” he murmured, his words were playful, but his eyes were so serious.
I almost laughed, but then he tossed the underwear to the ditch and my jaw dropped.
“Hey,” The word caught in my throat, as he snuggly grabbed my pussy and started to massage.
“Hmm?” His brow rose, and he rocked the heel of his hand against me, making my knees dance as my body and mind warred.
I swear I thought the world around him was glowing.
Blue and red.
I heard a car door and my eyes widened, my thighs snapping shut in a panic around his wrist. He smothered me with a kiss. I tried to say his name, but he deepened the kiss and stuffed two fingers into me.
My back arched and I blushed so badly I felt the warmth in my cheeks. I was terrified I was about to be arrested, but desperate for more.
“They don’t see us,” he whispered, when my legs relaxed.
His hand climbed from my chest to my neck and he hugged before cocking my neck. Everything in me short-wired when I saw what my brain had already guessed.
There was a police cruiser and a car at the bottom of the ramp. I wrapped my fingers around one side of the handlebars and scrabbled at the air until I found his vest.
“Ant–” I managed, just as he stuffed and curled those long, blessed fingers inside me. I closed my eyes and wadded the leather of his vest in my hand. I was terrified I’d encourage him rather than ask him to stop.
Who was I kidding? If he stopped, I’d climb him right now.
Cop be damned.
“Whose?” he demanded, and his fingers pushed me right over the edge.
I came, with my freedom on the line, one word on my lips.
