“Want a cup for the road?” Crickett had two travel mugs in hand, ready to pour the javagoodness.
“That would beamazing.”
I took my mug from her and made my way into the front room to wait. On the mantle were tons of pictures. The one of Crickett, Raine, Ryder, and two other men on what looked to be Raine and Ryder’s wedding day caught my eye. The younger of the men I recognized from the bar, but the other one I couldn’tplace.
“That was one of the happiest days of our lives. Abel was so happy for his little girl,” Crickett remarked as she made her way to myside.
“You all look so stunning. Is Abel yourhusband?”
She pursed her lips. “He passed away not too long ago, but yes, he is my husband. He will always be the love mylife.”
I set the picture down in its spot. “I’msorry.”
She put her hand on my shoulder. “Don’t be. A love like ours doesn’t end in death. He’ll always be in myheart.”
It only took us a few minutes to get out the door and to the garage—talk about a small fucking town. I had never lived somewhere that only had a few traffic lights before, and it was going to take a lot of getting usedto.
Trent was sitting on his bike in the parking lot, talking to two guys and Raine. As soon as I got out of Crickett’s truck, Trent ran over tous.
“Hey Crickett, Collin needs to take you and Raine to your place. He’ll explain everything on the way.” He gave her a quick hug, whispering something in her ear that I strained to hear, but no suchluck.
“Hey you.” I smiled at him, but his face stayedrigid.
“Can I talk to you?” He grabbed my hand, starting to lead me into thegarage.
Following him, I couldn’t shake the feeling that something was seriously wrong. “Sure. Is everything allright?”
He didn’tanswer.
We walked through to the back and into a tiny makeshift bedroom. Trent slammed and locked it before turning to me. He grabbed my hand, pulling me intohim.
“Do you trust me?” he whispered into myear.
I nodded against hischest.
“Good, because I need you rightnow.”
His lips crushed to mine. There was so much desire and need behind his touch. I melted into him, his tongue parting my lips so gently. A light moan escaped my throat as his fingers tangled into myhair.
Spinning me around, he pushed me against the wall. His chest pressed against my back as his fingers fumbled with the button on my jeans. I was a goner when his teeth sank into the nape of myneck.
With a low growl, Trent pulled my jeans down. He pulled my hips out while he got down on his knees then lightly bit my ass cheek before pulling away fromme.
“Are you sure you’re all right with this?” he asked,breathless.
“Yes, Trent. Now just fuck me already.” Need for him ignited in the depth of my soul like a fire getting a taste ofgasoline.
He stood up and threw me onto the bed in one swift motion. He tugged and pulled at my clothes until they were just a pile on thefloor.
“Fuck. You’re stunning,” he remarked while pulling his shirt up over hishead.
I took in every perfectly chiseled muscle that flexed and moved as he undressed next to the bed before he climbed on top ofme.
“You’re not too shabby yourself,” I teased before kissing hisshoulder.
Trent got on his knees, pulling my legs over his. He licked his thumb before rolling it over my clit and pressing it hard into myopening.
“You’re so damn tight, babe,” he groaned through grittedteeth.
