Chapter 17
Sapphire scanned her empty apartment. It was a visual reminder of how much her world had changed since Blade walked into her jewelry store. A crew of the MC members had shown up in trucks and on bikes. That had garnered a lot of attention from her neighbors.
A laugh bubbled out of her throat. She imagined what she would have thought if she’d not known all the bikers. They looked rough and dangerous. They were. But they were also the best guys to have in your corner. Not many people in the world would put their lives on the line for someone else.
“Everything good, Little girl?” Blade asked.
“Yes, Daddy. I’m the best I’ve ever been. I can’t believe they cleared out my apartment in a couple of hours.”
“The guys have headed back to the clubhouse. Is there anything else you need to do here?”
“No. I’m just thinking about how different life is now,” Sapphire confessed.
“Different good or different bad?”
“Definitely good,” she said, smiling at him. Sapphire loved that he always checked to make sure she was happy.
“I’m glad, Blue Eyes. I feel the same way. Let’s get Silver and head home,” Blade suggested.
Nodding, she walked over to pick up her tote bag with the cute gray bear peeking out from the top. “The manager will be here any minute to go through the apartment. Could we wait for her?”
“Of course.”
“Knock, knock,” Sara, from the management office, called from the doorway.
“Hi, Sara. Come in. We’ve gotten everything moved,” Sapphire told her.
“And all cleaned up. Maybe I should hire those hunky bikers helping you,” Sara said, chuckling.
“I was afraid you’d get some calls about the invasion,” Sapphire confessed.
“Just a few. It was obvious to everyone quickly that they weren’t here to rumble,” the manager said. “I’ll just do a fast round of the apartment and see if there’s any damage.”
“Of course,” Sapphire told her.
In a few minutes, Sara had finished her inspection and double-checked she had Sapphire’s new contact information to send a refund of her deposit. “We’ll miss having you as a tenant. I’ll have to come down to The Blue Door to do some shopping soon.”
“I’d love to see you, Sara,” Sapphire assured her as they all walked out together.
They parted ways at the door. Blade escorted Sapphire to his bike and securely fastened the tote bag in one of his saddlebags before lifting her helmet from the seat.
“Let’s get this on, Blue Eyes.” He fit the protective device on her head and pulled the strap securely before straightening the blue fuzzy ears. “You look adorable.”
Sapphire reached up to stroke the new attachments. She loved them so hard. “Thank you for my ears.”
“You totally needed those.” He tilted her chin up and kissed her warmly. “Let’s go home.”
“Yes, Daddy.”
Blade strapped on his helmet and straddled his bike. His movements shouldn’t have turned her on, but they did. I’ve got it bad.
When he had the motor running and the bike balanced between his powerful thighs, Blade waved to her to mount behind him. Sliding into place, Sapphire hugged his trim waist and scooted as close as possible.
He wrapped a hand around her thigh and squeezed before grabbing his handlebar. In seconds, he glided smoothly from the parking spot. She closed her eyes and rested her head on his back, savoring the feel of him against her. Riding with Blade was exciting. Between the throb of the motor between her legs and the excuse to hold on to his hard body, Sapphire enjoyed every trip.
Opening her eyes, she appreciated the scenery on their route. Sapphire sat up straight when Blade drove past the clubhouse. Leaning close to his ear, she called, “Where are we going?”
“It’s a surprise, Little girl.”
“Don’t we need to help unload?” she worried.
“No. The guys have it.”
Arguing on a motorcycle wasn’t feasible. Sapphire decided Blade knew his MC brothers better than she did. She wouldn’t worry about offending them.
She relaxed and enjoyed the drive. It was the perfect day. Not too hot, not too cold. The sky was gorgeous with a few wispy clouds.
When Blade slowed to take a small dirt path, she squeezed him a bit tighter. This was her first time off a paved road. They bounced along, turning several times until a crystal blue lake appeared beside them. Blade circled around it and finally brought the bike to a stop at a small cabin next to the water.
When he switched off the engine, she asked, “Where are we?”
“This is Shadow Lake. It runs along one side of Shadowridge. A client of mine owns this house. His family isn’t able to use the cabin often. I have a standing invitation to visit.”
“It’s lovely.”
“We’re both hot and sweaty from moving. I thought you might enjoy going swimming,” Blade suggested.
“Really? I don’t have a suit,” she said, worried.
“I never do. It’s isolated. No one will make their way here without us seeing them coming.”
“Skinny dipping? I haven’t done that since I was a teenager.”
“Sounds like you’ve waited long enough. Slide off. Let’s go grab some towels from the porch.”
Sapphire dismounted. Blade joined her and took her hand, squeezing it gently. “Come on, Blue Eyes.”
All her reservations disappeared. There was no way Blade would ever put her at risk. Going swimming sounded divine. She grinned at him. “You have such good ideas.”
“Last one in is a rotten egg,” he challenged, tugging her toward the water. Along the way, he dropped the towels on a grassy spot before reaching over his head to pull off his T-shirt.
Feeling daring at the sight of Blade undressing, Sapphire stepped out of her shoes. It had been a long time since she’d done something this carefree. Her shirt was next.
She loved the heat in his eyes as he took in her lacy blue bra. It had been dangerously expensive, but the attention she got now made it totally worth it. Sapphire shimmied out of her tight jeans to reveal the matching panties. Blade immediately walked forward to run his hands over her arms as he got a closer look.
“Fuck, Little girl. You dressed up for me,” he growled.
“I thought I’d take advantage of you being distracted with organizing the move.” Sapphire had jumped into the fancy underclothes when Steele had called Blade from the apartment. With him out of the room, she’d plotted a surprise. She just hadn’t expected it to happen here.
Shivering as he ran a finger over the decorative edge, Sapphire asked, “Do you like it?”
“No. It needs to come off,” Blade ordered.
“Would you help me with that?” Her fluttering eyelashes added a compelling touch.
Blade didn’t hesitate. He traced the band under her breasts, allowing the tops of his fingers to graze over the sensitive underside. She froze as he deftly unhooked the garment. Stroking his palms along the slight indent in her skin from the clasp around to the front, Blade slid his fingers under the lace to ease the material from her skin.
“You’re so beautiful, Little girl. You don’t need fancy underthings to keep my attention, but you make a fun package to open,” he told her softly as he rubbed a fingertip over her taut nipples.
“I like to open packages too,” she teased him, running the back of her hand over the bulge growing in his jeans.
“Help Daddy.”
That permission to touch him was all she needed. Sapphire would try everything she wanted to do and see where he stopped her. Her fingers flew down the buttons of his jeans, unfastening them and allowing his heavy shaft to spring out. Dropping to her knees, she coaxed his jeans over his muscular butt after pressing a line of kisses along his length.
Blade shifted to grab one of the towels. He arranged it on the grass near his feet. “Come here, Blue Eyes.”
She scrambled the short distance to kneel in front of him. Running her fingers along his erection, she peeked up at him, waiting for permission.
“Let me feel your lips on my cock.”
Leaning forward, she wrapped one hand around him. She tasted the broad head. His groan made her smile as she swirled her tongue over him repeatedly. Sliding his tip into her mouth, Sapphire slowly bobbed her head, working him deeper. Blade’s hands tangled in her hair, urging her on and delivering a faint sting of pain. She loved knowing she tested his control.
Sapphire took him in as far as she dared, his length and girth challenging her. She wrapped her hand around the thick base and squeezed as she pulled back, keeping the suction strong all the way to the tip.
“Fuck, Sapphire. Your mouth is talented. Take me deep.”
Of course, she followed his instructions. She loved his taste. This felt like a dream. Here all alone in this beautiful spot, she had his full attention. Sapphire tried to push her limits, but Blade’s hands tightened in her hair, stopping her.
“I love how you take me into your mouth, Sapphire. I don’t want to hurt you.”
She swallowed and heard him moan. He liked that. Sapphire had read about that move in one of the books in the Littles’ library at the clubhouse. The Daddy in that story had enjoyed it a lot. She tried it again.
“Damn, you’re going to make me come like a fourteen-year-old boy. I need you to orgasm first, Little girl.”
Blade stepped back and got rid of his pants fully before holding out his hand. She stared at him hard. “I was having fun.”
“Me, too, sweetheart. I thought we could have some fun together.”
After considering that, she reached up and allowed Blade to tug her to stand in front of him.
“Water or here?” he asked.
“Can we do that?” she asked. Sapphire had never made love in anything wetter than the shower.
“Oh, yeah. Come on, Blue Eyes. Race you to the edge.”
It only took her a second to realize he had gotten a head start. Sapphire sprinted after him, enjoying the sight of his nude body moving so athletically. She’d almost caught up to him when he splashed into the lake.
“It was a tie,” he judged, hugging Sapphire to his torso as he backed into the cool liquid.
“Brrr!” Her breasts were not pleased when they reached water high enough to lap over her chest.
“It will get better. Come here,” Blade said, pulling her close.
His heat was magnificent. Sapphire wrapped herself around him. “Oh, you feel so good.”
“Just wait, Little girl.”
Blade caressed her with his hands. The sensation of him stroking her with the satiny water made her heat up quickly. She risked easing her hold around his neck. When she didn’t slide under the water but stayed easily in place with her legs still wrapped around his waist, Sapphire had fun touching him as well. Tracing the grooves in his muscular chest, she explored his hard form as the water rocked her toward him.
His hands cupped her bottom. He fitted her pussy to his erection and firmly rubbed her against him, bringing a groan to both their lips.
“Kiss me, Sapphire.”
Abandoning her play, she tilted her mouth toward him. When he didn’t press his mouth to hers, she wrapped her fingers through his hair and pulled him close. Touching her lips to his softly at first, Sapphire deepened the kiss. Blade hugged her tightly as if she were the most delectable treat he’d ever tasted.
The heat grew in her lower abdomen. Sapphire bounced tentatively, rubbing her body on Blade’s thick shaft. Enjoying that way too much, she repeated the motion over and over. His hands supported her but allowed her to move exactly how she desired.
“Please. I need you inside me,” she begged as the tension inside her grew to an unbearable level.
“Damn! That lingerie set knocked everything from my brain. I’ll be right back.”
Sapphire couldn’t stop the giggles that bubbled through her lips as he helped her stand before dashing out of the water to grab a condom. She liked knowing she’d distracted him. The laughter didn’t mute her arousal. It was fun. Sex didn’t always have to be serious with Blade.
In a flash, he returned, sheathed in a condom and ready to go. Blade raised her so she could regain her position before boosting her slightly out of the water. “Fit me into your opening, Sapphire.”
She reached a hand between them to align him. As soon as she placed the head of his cock at her entrance, Blade lowered Sapphire. He sank into her slowly as Blade’s muscles bulged with strength. Never rushing her, he took his time to allow her tight channel to stretch around him until she rested against his hard body once more.
Sapphire experimented with her previous bouncing motion. The resulting sensations sent stars twinkling through her brain.
“Do it again,” he growled, leaning forward to nibble along the sensitive cord of her neck.
Eagerly, Sapphire repeated her movement. She loved knowing that she could bring him pleasure. It was a powerful, sexy feeling. Blade was so focused on her enjoyment, she treasured attending to his desires as well.
Playfully splashing some water over his shoulders, she caressed his slick skin as their bodies crashed together. Blade’s athletic form was like a playground for her touch. Everywhere she explored was a new favorite place to savor.
Losing track of everything around her, Sapphire’s world narrowed down to the two of them. When Blade’s teeth closed on that sensitive spot at the curve of her shoulder, it was the last sensation she needed to push her over the edge. With a cry, she allowed her climax to crash over her.
“Blue Eyes,” he said hoarsely and sped up his thrusts into her. Her orgasmic spasms pushed his erection into a massive eruption inside her.
With them wrapped around each other, Sapphire could feel Blade’s heart beating strongly. She smiled into the curve of his throat before leaning back to press sweet kisses to his mouth. His answering squeeze around her torso told her he celebrated having her in his life.
She lifted her lips from his and stared at his handsome face. To her delight, that strand of hair that always seemed to tumble over his forehead lay in that tempting spot. Sapphire reached up and swept it away as she had wanted to from the very beginning. Her heart skipped a beat as she realized how much she loved this man and how deep their relationship had become.
“My handsome Daddy,” she whispered.
“Handsome and fierce, right?” he prompted, putting on his mean biker face. It conflicted completely with the tender way he held her in his arms.
“The fiercest Shadowridge MC member ever.” She played along before giggling.
“And you, my chortling Little girl, you are simply the best gift I could have ever found. I’m never letting you go,” Blade warned.
“I’m counting on that, Daddy.”
