Axel grabs onto my hips with one hand while guiding himself inside with the other one. In seconds, he’s gripping both of my hips in his hands as he moves back and forth until he’s fully seated deep inside me. Axel pauses for a second to let me adjust to his size as he keeps his gaze locked on me. When I lift my hips to assure him I’m ready for him to move, Axel pulls out of me and doesn’t hesitate to slide back inside. He starts a slow, steady pace as I wrap my legs around his waist and lock my ankles together. I move my body in time with him as his pace starts to increase.
Little moans escape me as Axel leans down and sucks a nipple into his mouth. I wrap my arms over his shoulders and dig my fingers into the muscles of his back. Releasing my nipple, Axel kisses over my skin so softly it almost tickles until he pulls my other nipple in his mouth and gently bites down on the hardened bud. It’s been so long, it doesn’t take me long to feelthe familiar tension building inside once again. Axel speeds up and adds this twist to his hips, hitting me in all the right places as he reaches between our bodies to find my clit. I dig my nails in his back and wonder if I’ll leave marks on his body.
Axel sucks the skin of my breast and I know he’ll leave behind a mark. It gives me a hint of pain that I’ve never felt during sex before. He releases my skin after a few minutes and kisses his way up my body only pausing when he finds the sensitive spot below my ear. I moan louder this time as I wrap my legs tighter around Axel.
“Give it to me, Little Fairy. Don’t hold anythin’ back. I want to hear every sound you make and feel your pussy clench around my cock. Give. It. To. Me,” he growls out, his voice low and smooth before he crashes his lips to mine in a punishing kiss.
He pinches my clit just hard enough to send me over the edge. “Axel!” I scream out once more as my body tightens and I rake my nails up his back while closing my eyes and tipping my head back to expose my neck as Axel leans down and sucks the skin of my neck in his mouth.
His movements speed up even more as he chases his own release. Axel’s hips are slamming into me and I know I’ll have marks on the inside of my legs from the force of his movements.
“So. Fuckin’. Good,” he grits out once he releases my skin and looks down at me as I open my eyes and watch him.
Axel’s body is shaking and a fine sheen of sweat covers our bodies as he slams into me once more. His entire body goes tight and his head is thrown back as he roars out my name. “Sheridan!” It echoes off the walls of my bedroom.
After a few minutes, Axel lets his body collapse against mine. He holds most of his weight off of me so I’m not crushedbeneath him. I run my hands up and down his back as he holds me close while our hearts beat out of our chests and our breathing is ragged and the only sound to fill the room. We don’t talk as our breathing slowly returns to normal and our hearts slow down to a steady beat. When he finally grabs a hold of the condom and pulls from my body, I’m ready to fall asleep.
“Fuck!” I hear Axel mutter as I lean up to see what’s wrong. “The condom broke.”
“I’m on birth control, Axel. We’ll be okay,” I tell him as he removes the condom from his dick and finds the garbage can I have next to my bed.
“That’s good, Little Fairy. I gotta head out. You gonna be okay?” he asks me, already grabbing his jeans and pulling them on.
“Why wouldn’t I be okay? I knew going into this what it was and I’m not expecting anything more from you, Axel,” I tell him even as my heart breaks and I reach for the blanket to cover my body from his sight.
I’ll need to make the bed and change everything anyway. I can’t stand the thought of sleeping in blankets that smell like him and the combination of us. This is the reminder I needed that this means nothing to Axel and I’m just another notch on his belt. He doesn’t look at me as he quickly dresses and leaves my apartment without a word. The second I hear the door close behind him, the first tear slides down my cheek. I want to curl up in a ball and hide from what just happened, but I can’t. Instead, I drop the blanket from my body and make my way into the bathroom attached to my room. Turning the water on, I let it heat up and go as hot as I can stand it before stepping in. The tears fall faster and mix with the water as I simply stand under the shower and feel myself begin to shut down so I don’t let myself feel horrible for allowing myself to have one night witha man I’ve craved for years. This is on me and I knew it was a mistake. It was a mistake I don’t regret because I’ve wanted Axel for so long. The only downside is now that I’ve had him, no man will ever compare to him. What have I done?
Chapter One
Tease
Seven months later
DEALING WITH SHIT at Slayer Pit is a pain in my ass. Usually, it doesn’t bother me to head there and deal with whatever drama the dancers are throwing out there. Today, I wanted to fire all of them instead of listening to their bullshit. One doesn’t feel she should be the first dancer of the night because she’s better than that. Another one wants more time in the private rooms with customers for lap dances. Nothing else is supposed to happen in the private rooms but lap dances and we’ve installed cameras along with a bouncer watching on to ensure that’s the case. However, I have a feeling the bathrooms of Slayer Pit are another story. These girls will do whatever it takes to get what they want regardless of the rules we’ve put in place. None of them are supposed to have sex with clients for any reason while they’re on the clock. What they do after hours and away from the strip club is their business and we can’t stop them. I refuse to allow them to do anything to put the club in jeopardy and that includes pimping themselves out.
Knuckles called me while I was in the middle of dealing with the bullshit and told me they were going to the diner in town for a late lunch and to meet them. He’s been training for his next fight and I know part of the reason he’s not heading straight home is because I haven’t been around. For the last seven months all I want to do is find Sheridan and have anothernight with her. I always knew being with her would change my life. What I didn’t expect was for it to absolutely consume me. No matter what I’m doing during the day, Sheridan is always on my mind. When I manage to close my eyes at night, I dream of her and the life we could have together. She’s the only woman I’ve ever dreamt of building a life with since we started hanging out in high school. Even before that if I’m being honest with myself.
Sheridan always drew everyone near her without even trying. There’s always been a radiance of pure warmth and kindness that pulled everyone into her orbit. Well, almost everyone. Sheridan was best friends with two girls in high school, Jess and Shelly. Jess started to change when I came into the picture. She bullied Sheridan and Shelly because I was paying more attention to the two of them than Jess. Jess isn’t the type of woman who can tolerate being overshadowed by anyone for any reason. Her jealousy caused her to lash out in the worst ways and I wasn’t always there to protect my friends from her vile attempts to humiliate and bully them.
Over the years of hanging out with Sheridan, I fell in love with her. She was there for me when my brother died even though we’d just started hanging out. Listened to me bitch about Prospecting for the club and the shit I had to do. I never told her anything that would get either one of us in trouble, but she listened to me vent about being everyone’s bitch. When I was debating if I wanted to go to college before joining the club, she supported me and gave me her honest opinion. With every second I spent in her presence, I wanted to make Sheridan mine. The only thing that held me back was the possibility of something happening between us that would ruin our relationship and the friendship we had spent countless time building. I refused to do anything to push her away and not have her in my life any longer.
Now, I rarely see Sheridan. We’re both busy with our lives and I know she spends a ton of time at school pursuing her dream of becoming a veterinarian. The only times I saw her before our night together were in passing. She would be rushing off to school or to help her dad at his garage while I was doing something for the club or heading to work at Slayer Pit. The night I saw her in the diner with that fucking idiot who couldn’t stop drooling over her while she sat oblivious in front of him, I knew I had to take my chance and have one night with the woman who meant more to me than she’ll ever know. If there’s one person who knows about me besides Knuckles, it’s Sheridan. Well, she used to know all about me. Now, we’d have to relearn about one another in our lives as we are now.
Riding to the diner, I let thoughts of my night with Sheridan consume me like always. The sound of her moans as I drove her insane. Feeling her wrapped around me in ways I never expected. The softness of her skin as I slid my calloused hands over her body. And the way she looked at me. Sheridan looked at me as if I were the main character in her favorite book and she was finally getting her chance to be with the love of her life. The feelings she sent through me are things I’ve never experienced in my life. Honestly, I started having sex when I was young. Constantly being around it in the clubhouse, sex wasn’t ever really something I thought about. I remember my first time and fumbling around in the dark with a girl from high school that I really had no feelings for. Over the years, I wanted to be a man who could make Sheridan see stars and give her the best experience of her life. Now, no one else can get me hard unless I’m thinking of her or imagining all the ways I want to have her. One night was not enough and it never will be.
Pulling into the parking lot of the diner, I spot Knuckles’ bike parked next to Omen’s. I wasn’t expecting him to be herefor lunch, but I have a feeling this is going to be them getting me to open up and tell them what’s going on with me. It’s what we do for one another. I park next to them off to the side of the parking lot where no one else can get close to our bikes before shutting the engine off and getting off my bike. Today I chose not to wear my helmet for the short ride through town from the strip club. It’s not something I do very often, but after dealing with the dancer’s bullshit, I needed to feel the wind whipping through me without my helmet covering my head.
Walking inside the diner, I look around for a second before heading toward the back table where the club members always sit. My steps falter when I spot Sheridan and Shelly sitting at a table in the front of the diner. They’re talking and locked in their own world as normal. I watch Sheridan throw her head back in laughter. It’s not loud and annoying like I’ve come to know over the years from women trying too hard. Sheridan’s laughter is melodic and almost like a beacon calling everyone in closer to her orbit.
My heart starts beating faster and harder in my chest as I allow myself to look at her for far longer than necessary. I wave when Shelly notices me and gives me a small wave. Sheridan looks over her shoulder, her long black hair moves just enough to catch the sunlight coming in the window at her side making it look blue. I’ve always loved her hair. I watch as Sheridan’s face goes pale and her eyes widen in shock at seeing me. Fear fills her body as she starts trembling in her seat. Confusion fills me as I go to make my way over to the two girls.
“Tease, get over here,” Knuckles calls out, my cousin really wants his ass beat and doesn’t realize it.
Turning my attention from the girls, I head for the booth where my cousin and Omen wait for me.
“What the fuck, Knuckles? Had someone else to go see,” I state, sitting across from my cousin and next to Omen.
“Who?” he questions, looking around the diner for the woman I’m talking about. “Wait. Is that Sheridan? The girl you talked about when I first joined the club.”
