“Shelly and I aren’t taking the same classes and we don’t go to the same school. She’s in a different state now, Axel. You would know that if you didn’t disappear from our lives the second the graduation ceremony was over,” I tell him, letting a little bit of the hurt I’m still feeling out.
Axel doesn’t say anything as he stores my bag in one of his saddle bags before grabbing his helmet and turning to face me. His face is blank of every thought and emotion as usual as I look up at him. Neither one of us says a word as he straps the helmet on my head before reaching in his pocket and pulling out one of his many bandanas. I bought him so many of the things when we were in school and he got his bike. I watch as he ties it around his face so only his eyes remain showing.
“Your back gonna be up for the ride?” Axel asks me, reminding me of the accident I try to forget on a daily basis.
“Yeah.”
I squeal a little as he lifts me like I weigh nothing and sets me on the back of his bike. Axel then gets on in front of me and I automatically wrap my arms around his body. My hands are under his cut and I feel the muscles of his stomach tense and relax as he starts his bike and revs it a few times. We pull away from the diner and I close my eyes as I enjoy the ride. Axel hasn’t been to my new apartment not far from campus and I realize I never told him where I live. Still, he manages to go to my complex and pull in front of the building I live in.
Axel shuts his bike off and climbs off before lifting me once again from the seat. He removes the helmet from my head, never once taking his eyes off of me. There’s a tension between us as I dream of him leaning down and kissing me. It’s something I’ve wished for since that first kiss during a stupid game.
I’m not sure who moves first, but it feels like slow motion as our lips move closer and closer together before Axel’s are pressed to mine. He slides his tongue along the seam of my lips and I don’t hesitate to open for him. My hands press against his chest before sliding up and wrapping around his neck as I lean up on my toes. Axel wraps his arms around my waist and pulls my body completely against his. Our tongues tangle as he takes possession of my mouth and kisses me as if he’s been dying to do it for years. There’s a certain desperation to our kiss I’ve never experienced before and it sends a thrill through me.
“Fuck,” Axel groans when he breaks the kiss and rests his forehead against mine as we both try to catch our breath. “Invite me inside, Little Fairy.”
It’s a demand. One I want to follow as I step away from him and lace our fingers together. Axel grabs my bag from his saddle bag before we head inside my small apartment. I live alone and I’m grateful for that in this moment. Axel digs in mybag and pulls out my keys when we get to my door. He unlocks it and waits for me to make the final decision as I open it and pull him inside with me. The second the door closes behind us, Axel drops my bag and his mouth is back on mine. I’m held against the door as Axel holds my hands above my head and presses his hard body against mine. There isn’t an inch of us that’s not touching.
“Take me to your room,” he orders me when I pull away from the kiss and keep my eyes closed because I don’t want to wake up if this is a dream.
Opening my eyes, I look up at Axel and see the heat in his eyes as he stares at me. Without a word, I slide out from between him and the door and head for my bedroom. A confidence I’ve never felt before fills me as I start to remove my clothes and let them fall to the floor as I walk in front of Axel. I look back over my shoulder to find him removing his cut and keeping it over his arm as his eyes travel up and down my exposed body very slowly. My upper body is bare as we enter my room and I stop at the end of my bed.
“Don’t stop strippin’ now, Little Fairy. Let me see every fuckin’ inch of you,” Axel says, laying his vest on top of my dresser that’s next to him before he leans against the wall and makes no move to strip out of his clothes or take a step closer to me.
I unbutton my jeans and slowly slide them down my legs while toeing off my sneakers. My panties go with my jeans, leaving me completely exposed to Axel’s wandering eyes. Again, he rakes his gaze up and down my body and I feel every second of it like a gentle caress against my skin and he’s standing feet away from me. For the first time, I don’t want to cover my body or hide from the man in front of me. He used to know everything about me and I’m allowing myself to be completely bare andvulnerable in front of him. There is no hiding when it comes to Axel and I know this already. He won’t let me keep any part of myself from him.
“Get on the bed, Little Fairy,” he states and I obey him as I sit on my bed and watch as he reaches behind his head and removes his shirt one handed in that sexy way only men seem to be able to do. He wastes no time in undoing his jeans. Axel isn’t wearing underwear as I take in his body.
Axel has an entire sleeve of tattoos on his right arm now and one on his left peck. A smattering of chest hair covers his chest with a line leading from his belly button down to his cock. I’ve seen him without a shirt plenty of times when we were in school, but tonight it’s like I’m seeing him with new eyes. Axel is sexy as hell and he knows I think that when I look at his face again. There’s a knowing smirk I’ve seen on his face a million times and a feral glint in his eyes I’ve never seen before.
“See somethin’ ya like, Little Fairy?” he questions me, his voice deeper and husky as he stalks toward me like a predator.
“Yes,” I whisper as he steps up and opens my legs with his rough hands.
Axel’s hands linger on my legs as he slowly trails them up my skin toward my aching center.
“Are you sure you want this, Sheridan?” Axel questions me, stopping just short of where I really want him. “This will be a one-time thing between us. I can’t guarantee anythin’ more than that.”
“I’ve wanted this for years, Axel,” I tell him, my voice coming out breathless in a way I’ve never sounded before.
I know Axel isn’t the guy who’s ready to settle down with one woman. Even if he was, I’m not the woman he’d be with for the rest of his life. He needs someone so much stronger than Iam to be at his side and handle everything the club does. While I know I’m strong and can stand at his side, there’s a part of me that can’t be the person he truly needs. My entire focus is on school and getting my degree so I can open my own veterinarian clinic and help those in town who can’t afford the ones who charge outrageous prices to help animals in need. When I’m not focused on school, I’m helping my dad at the garage. Axel needs a woman who can focus on him and what he needs. Someone to be a trophy wife who doesn’t care what he does at the club when she’s not around. I’m not saying he’d cheat, but there’s always that chance with all the naked women strutting around the place and offering themselves up on a silver platter.
Without another word, Axel drops to his knees between my open ones and never takes his eyes off me as he leans in and slides his tongue through my folds. My eyes close on their own as I savor the feelings he’s sending through my body. Axel doesn’t stop as he moves to suck my clit in his mouth while sliding a finger in me. My back arches off the bed as he moves one of my legs over his shoulders and I follow with the other one. In a few minutes, he adds a second finger and continues to slide them in and out as I already start to feel my orgasm build in me.
“Axel!” I scream out after a few minutes when I can’t hold my release back any longer.
He doesn’t stop working me over with his mouth until I feel the last tremor roll through me and I slump down against the mattress. My eyes open and I watch Axel stand from the floor with a condom in his hand. He opens the package and rolls it down his length as I take every inch of him in. He’s larger than the one other guy I’ve been with.
“Ready, Little Fairy?” he asks me, his voice gentle as he looks down at me with eyes full of desire.
“I’m ready, Axel. I want all of you,” I tell him, not sure of what I’m asking for but knowing he’ll hold back if I don’t say something to him.
“Not sure you can handle that, Little Fairy. Are you a virgin?” he questions, sliding his length up and down through my folds.
“I’m not a virgin. I’ve been with one guy and it’s been a while since we were together,” I answer him honestly, already knowing he’s been with numerous women over the years.
Axel knows he’s sexy and he hasn’t ever turned down a willing woman from what I’ve heard. He’s single and can do what he wants.
“I’m clean. I was just tested and haven’t been with anyone since I had the test done,” he informs me as I nod and lift my hips just enough that the tip of him notches at my opening.
