Chapter 11
Isit on the sofa watching Rock while talking on his phone writing something down.
Even though I know so little about him my heart fell for him in a scary way. I can”t believe he asked me to move with him. Does that mean he feels the same as I do? Is that what love really looks like?
Tonight was a roller-coaster of emotions and seeing him so lovely and caring makes me feel good, protected. I lay down, listening to Rock”s voice while watching the colorful lights playing out of his office.
My eyelids become so heavy, so I close my eyes.
The music pumps more and I open my eyes, finding myself in an ice rink. The applause starts to fade as some colorful lights play on the ice. I skate trying to reach them but they make me go to the other side and then pivot. As my legs have a life of their own, I perform in an axis with a triple loop. The music changes, becomes more rhythmic and intense and I spin.
I feel hugged and I snuggle into Rock’s arms, forcing to continue my performance, but the alarm goes off making me grumble.
“Good morning, Princess.”
“Sleep.” I complain and he kisses my neck.
I wake up alone in bed. Have I dreamed all? I sit up looking at my room. The last thing I remember is watching Rock and then nothing else. My clothes are folded on the chair, my phone is charging on the dresser and the curtains are fully closed.
A note on my nightstand catches my eye.
Good morning, Princess. I”ll be back soon. Love you, R.
I finally decided to leave my bed and take a shower. When my cell phone rings, I see Rock”s name on the screen.
“I”m awake,” I tell him, making him laugh.
“You sure are if you picked my call, Princess.”
“It was so weird waking up without you by my side.”
“I”m sorry baby, I needed to come to the Clubhouse to clean and make room for your stuff.”
My heart races in my chest. “That”s so sweet of you.”
“I can”t wait to live with you every day.”
“Me either.” I confess, getting hot.
“I”ll be back in an hour; I have no idea where my swimsuit is. I guess I”ll buy one on my way back to you.”
“Or…”
“Or what?” he asks, teasing me.
“Nah, it”d be the worst idea ever since we won’t be alone.”
“Naughty Princess.”
“You love it.”
“Oh yes,” he confesses. “See you later, baby. Do you need something?”
“I”m okay, just heading down to have my first cup of coffee. Drive safe.”
“Enjoy it, see you later.” He hangs up leaving me with a big smile on my face.
I look at the screen and seeing it”s past one p.m. leaves me shocked. I”ve never slept until so late. I cleaned the garden and prepared everything for later. Drinks are in the cooler, and I need to see what playlist to choose. The song I”ve dreamed of is in my head and I”d like to know which one it is. Based on the song I can also pick the colors for my costumes, and I need to work on some choreographies. I shake my head when I realize I”m thinking again about the Olympics. It should remain a secret until I tell Dad. Which reminds me I need to tell him about Rock. I haven”t figured out if he really likes Rock or not. He had good words for The Black Panthers but I can”t imagine his reaction when I tell him I’m hanging out with their Prez.
Me: I”m almost there, can you open up for me?
Princess: It”s already open, come in.
Me: It”s not safe leaving everything open.
Princess: Nothing happens here, Rock. I”m waiting for you.
I don”t reply anymore but drive faster to her. Fuck, with The Vipers in town she’s risking even more. I don’t understand how on the earth can she not be on high alert after what happened. I guess it’s because she hasn’t understand the situation and what the fuckers are capable of. Harrison and I should have a chat soon and I’m not that keen on it.
I get in easily; the gate and the front door aren”t locked. How can I tell her it”s not as safe as she thinks? I can”t wait to have her at the Clubhouse.
“Princess?”
“I”m upstairs, make yourself home.”
“Okay,” I strip out my clothes, and wear the swimsuit. It”s a perfect sunny day today and I can”t wait to enjoy it all together.
I”m drinking a beer when Ashley comes down in her black two-piece swimsuit.
“Okay, I guess we”re ready. Kelly said she”d be late, but the others are on their way.” I feel pulled to her and can’t take my eyes off her.
Fuck me, I”ll have a boner for the entire day.
“You know, I can pull these strings here.” I smirk playing with the tiny strings on her hips as she takes out the sunscreen cream and kisses me.
“Yeah, but you won”t.”
“Why not?” I tease her.
“Because guests will be here soon, and I don”t think you want a show in front of them.” She makes me turn around and spreads some sunscreen on my back.
“That”s so unfair.” I complain, making her laugh. Her hands over my skin feel like an angelic touch and I grin at the impure thoughts I have. Yeah, she’s my favorite addiction.
“I know,” she faces me. While touching my chest, she bites down on her lip and feigns that innocent look I adore on her. It sets me on fire, and I scoop her up, making her sit on the island. I take her sunscreen, squeeze some on my hand, lift her leg, and help her put on some protection. When I reach her inner thighs, I apply a little more pressure and she holds back a moan while her eyes roll back. I do the same with her other leg, venturing my fingers over her panties, making her hold onto the marble.
“Rock,” she moans.
“How much time do we have?”
“They”ll be here at four p.m.” She breathes. I look at the clock on the wall, and smile. Ten minutes is more than enough. I take hold of her lips, consuming her while my hands fly on the strings and pull them off. I hoover my thumb over her clit, circling it while swallowing her moans before bending down and eating her cunt.
“Oh, God.” She moans, sticking her hands in my hair. “Rock… oh please…”
“I would love more time.” Fingering her, I curl them and touch her delicious spot, making her cry with pleasure. I pull her on the edge of the island positioning my dick at her slick, warm entrance and thrust in her. Fuck, she’ll be the death of me. I feel like a teenager with no will power or control over my body. I can already feel her walls clenching around me. Fuck, I love it.
“Please,” she begs as I move slowly, enjoying having her around me, “you won”t break me,” she pants into my ear. I increase my pace going deeper, pumping faster as she bites my shoulder and orgasms, squeezing my cock so hard that jerks me over the moon.
I caress her lips and peer in her eyes, they are full of lust that looks black right now. Ashley licks my thumb, sucks on it making me growl. She pushes me away, making me leave that amazing cave of pleasure. She kneels and grabs my dick at the base, then strokes and licks it off from the tip to my balls, sucking them in turn. When she runs her lips along my shaft before taking me into her mouth I can feel the tingling down my spine.
“Fuck, baby.” I growl, holding her hair. I try to focus on my breath and not on my shaft disappearing in her mouth. She takes me deeper after every pump, sucking hard. Blood rooms in my ears as she chokes on my dick a few times. I noticed she likes it, and damn, she looks gorgeous with my dick down her throat. Such a greedy Princess.
“Baby, I”m going to come,” I growl, feeling my release so close.
She pops it out of her mouth and teases the tip. “Please, do it,” she runs her hot tongue over my manhood like an ice cream before taking it back into her mouth. I cup the back of her head, thrusting in until I hit the back of her throat. When she smiles, looking up at me with that adoration and lusty sparkle in her eyes I know it”s the end, and I can”t hold back anymore.
“You”ll be the death of me.” I whisper watching her swallow my load and then clean me up with her tongue. I pick her up and take hold of her mouth while cupping her ass and pull her on my cock again.
We make it in time to wear our swimsuits when her friends have started to arrive.
“Ash! The hell are…” A petite blondie freezes while her eyes land on me. “Oh hello there, I’m Lily.”
“Rock, nice to see you again.”
She arches a brow. “Wait, again?”
“We met at Ashley’s birthday party.” Why on earth do I feel so nervous?
“Oh my, hi.” She pulls me in a hug. “My memory is like Dory’s.” She giggles.
“Dory’s being?”
“She forgets everything right away, like Dory in the movie.” Ash joins us. “Hey beauty.” The two of them hug but Lily is still eyeing me.
“I heard Kelly saying the club’s hunk hooked you up but dang girl, I thought it was the bartender.”
“Not my type,” Ash moves away, and I wrap her in my arms.
“Ash!”
I tense as I pull Ash closer, shielding her. She pats my arm. “Gerry and Levy are here.”
We move toward the door, and I see the Harleys lined up in the parking lot inside the gate.
“They’re with me,” Ash says. “The party is in the backyard.”
Kelly, if I’m not wrong, comes by and follows her ex with a girl.
“Prez, Princess.” I can see they’re not relaxed but then Denise comes to hug Ash.
“Come on, let’s get it started,” she winks at me while pushing a button that closes the gate.
“They’re with you, huh?”
She gets on her tiptoes and kisses me. “Well… my friends are like my family.” My heart flutters while I caress her cheek.
We follow the others while the music fills the air. “Okay guys, let”s get it right and start with the presentation.” I can sense her nervousness and so do the guys. They’re amused, but I can see how much it means for them too. “Blue, Denise, Bonnie, Brick, Mac, Doc and you already met Rock.” She points to us before doing the same with her friends. “They’re Luke, Kelly, Lily, Levy, Gerry, Amanda and Blake.”
We exchange handshakes while her cell phone chimes, she peers at it before placing it on the table. “Make yourself at home. As Lily said, that’s our Satfam.” I can help but chuckle gaining a few amused looks while Ash turns around with a cocked brow.
“Sorry Princess,” I shake my head while taking my seat.
I was afraid it wouldn’t work but after a while her friends got used to us and seeing the boys having fun warms my heart.
“Hey, Rock, you”re up for a volleyball game?”
“Why not.” I answer Luke. He”s a great guy and funny too. I take off my shirt, throwing it to Ashley. She catches and smells it, giggling with her friends. I haven”t had so much fun in a while. I could get used to this paradise.
Seeing Ashley cheer for me makes me feel important. I don”t know how she managed to win my heart, but I want this happiness and more for us.
Once back on our stools, Ash hands me a beer, and I pull her closer.
I catch Blake looking at her for longer than I want him to but I keep it cool for the sake of this day.
“Guys your tattoos are incredible,” says Luke while following with his eyes the patterns on Brick’s arm.
“Thank you, Mac is our artist.” He gulps some beer.
“For real?”
Mac shrugs as if it wasn’t a big deal. “Yeah, if you want a tattoo just come to Totally Ink.”
“I tried to book there months ago, but you guys were full.” Luke sighs resignedly.
“Whenever you want, just come there, I”ll take you in without booking. We are fully booked until next year.”
“Wow, that”s amazing, I never imagined tattoos business works so much.”
“When you are the best artist in the State, anyone wants you.” I proudly admit. It’s true and his works are masterpieces. I drink my last gulp of beer while eyeing Blake following Ashley in the house. “Be right back.” I stop near the door while hearing their banter.
“Blake, stop it.” I freeze hearing Ashley’s voice.
“With him? For real? What the fuck Ash?”
“The hell you want from me, I couldn’t find a better man.”
He snorts and I clench my fists.
“Look Blake, let me be clear because maybe your poor neuron didn’t get the memo.”
“I just want to be sure you”re not regretting it.”
“Regret what?”
“Come on, Ash. He’ll break your heart.” No, I’ll break your legs. What’s he up to?
“My private life is none of your business, Blake.”
“Ash, please stop.” He grabs her wrist.
My blood boils as she tries to back off. “You”re hurting me.”
“Hey!” I boom, making Ashley startle. “Get your hands off her.” I march toward them, and the fucker raises his hands up.
“Chill dude, we were just talking.”
“Your hands on my woman is not something I can stand, dude.”
“Whatever,” he walks backward while leaving us alone.
“Are you okay, babe?”
“Yeah,” she hugs me.
Lifting her wrist, I kiss it. “Could I know what happened between you two?”
She takes a deep breath in, and I can tell something bothers her. “I wasn’t enough for his...him.”
“For his?”
She shakes her head. “It doesn’t matter, Rock. I have my piece of heaven and he’s no one.”
I grit my teeth. “Why is he here?”
“He”s Amanda”s new boyfriend. I couldn”t say no to her.”
Not gonna lie, that answer doesn’t convince me at all, but I don’t want to push her and definitely not today. “As long as he stays away from you, that”s fine for me.”
Her eyes lock with mine. “Are you jealous?”
I lean in trapping her between me and the counter. “I don”t want anyone to touch what”s mine.”
“Am I yours?”
“You bet your sweet ass you are, Princess.” I take hold of her mouth for my dose of oxygen.
The afternoon goes smoothly, Blake keeps his distance, and we enjoy the dinner. Ashley is the best cook I”ve ever tasted, and more than once Denise has nodded in appreciation.
Ash brings over a few more beers and sits on my lap. “Okay, guys I have an announcement.”
“We love good news, come on, spit it out!” Shouts Kelly.
“Is about me and Rock.” She pauses and I caress her hip.
“Can I, Princess?” She nervously nods.
“Oh my fucking God, are you pregnant?” Kelly gasps, making Blake choke on his beer. So he’s still into her.
Ash throws her a napkin. “You”ll be the first to know it, but no.”
“We”re ready to take our relationship to the next level, so we”re moving in together.” I state, kissing her shoulder.
“Congratulations! That”s amazing.” Screams Kelly, hugging both of us.
“Take good care of her,” she warns me.
“Will do.”
While Kelly, Bonnie and Amanda help Ashley to clean up the kitchen and the living room, we all take care of the backyard and the gazebo.
“What”s next, movies or games?” asks Luke.
“Games are so fun,” squeaks Amanda. “What about Truth or Dare?” Since all have raised their hands, The Black Panthers agreed too.
Kelly gets on her feet, takes Blue’s bottle of beer, drinks the rest of it and places it on the table. She spins it and while the chorus erupts it stops on Amanda. “Truth or Dare?”
Amanda’s smirk says it all. “Dare.”
“Well…let’s see.” She looks at all of us in turn. “Kiss Luke.”
Isn’t she Blake’s girl? What have I missed? To my surprise, still with her legs over Blake, she leans toward Luke and kisses him.
Amanda spins the bottle and it ends on Mac. “Truth or Dare?”
“Truth.”
“How many tattoos do you have?” she leers at him.
“Twenty-two so far and I drew them all.” He spins the bottle, and it ends on Luke. “Okay, kiddo, Truth or Dare?”
“Ain’t a kid but I’ll go with a Dare.”
“Since you’re not, then drink a bomb shot.”
This shot is great if you”re used to alcohol but if you”re not, it”s hell. It”s made with Vodka, lime and Tabasco and it burns your throat. But the kid does it and I have to admit I’m surprised.
We keep playing for a while until Blake spins the bottle and it stops on Ashley. Why do I have the sense I won’t like this one?
“Truth or Dare?” His smirk makes me tense.
“Truth.”
“How many guys have you slept with?” The fuck? Is this revenge or what?
“Slept with or had sex?” She takes my beer and drinks it. “That”s what you want to know, right?”
“Oooohhhhh…” her friends echo in chorus while I met my brothers’ eyes.
“That”s a million-dollar question,” squeaks Amanda.
“You don”t have to answer,” I murmur, knowing damn well I was her first. Wait, that’s why he’s pissed? That he hasn’t had a taste? I’m wondering what their friends know or if he’s that stupid to let her admit it.
“Oh no, I want to.” She smiles. “I”ve slept with three guys in my life: Dad, for the nightmares after mom’s death, you, and Rock. And I had sex with one.”
When the news sinks in his little brain, he gasps. “You haven”t.”
“Boom! That”s my bitch!” laughs Kelly. Blake is fuming and if a stare could kill, I’ll be dead right now. If he was too stupid and let her slip through his fingers, it’s not my fault. Ashley is a keeper, and mine.
Ash spins the bottle, and it ends again on Luke. “Ya know the drill, which one?”
“Truth.”
“Have you told your dad The Eagles have made an offer for you?”
What? No way! The kid with The Eagles?
“Dad would never allow me to leave the Devils.” He sighs. “But I’m planning to do it tomorrow.”
“I knew you looked way too familiar. Luke Thomas, the new left winger of Devils.” Mac nods. “You have a fan, kiddo.”
“Thank you.”
“Trust your gut, Luke; if you want to join The Eagles then spread your wings and fuck your dad, he got his chance at time. We’re talking of an AHL team not a minor one and you know it’ll open you a door straight to an NHL team.”
“Dad’s always been a Devils’ fan and I’m proud of being one of them, but it feels suffocating.”
Ash gets on her feet. “Here’s to your future, loads of money and less broken bones,.” The laughs erupt. “And we’ll be there to cheer you the hell up Eagle!”
“Go, go Eagle!”
His eyes glaze up. “Only if you promise to keep in touch, Ash.”
“You’ll stick with me bro.” They clink their bottles and we do too.
“Okay, it’s my turn and for fuck’s sake make it end on Rock.” He winks. “You’re the only one who hasn’t played yet and since it’s my last one before heading home.” He manually spins the bottle pointing it to me. “Oh, look. Seems like someone up there has heard my prayers. Truth or Dare?”
“That’s cheating,” I point out with a laugh. “But since it’s your last shot, Dare.”
His gaze shifts to Princess and then on me. “Ashley needs a bath.”
“No I don’t.” she scoffs. “plus he would never…” she begins when I pick her up and walk toward the lake. “Rock, don”t you dare.”
“What if I do it?”
“You will regret it.”
I walk up the deck. “Oh, really?” I ask before throwing her into the water.
“That wasn”t funny,” she coughs out. “I’ll remember it,” she complains, swimming toward the deck. “Care to help me?”
I extend my hand and she grabs it but when I spot her grin, she’s already at it and pulls me down. Fuck, she tricked me. I lift her up and swirl her around feeling my heart full of happiness. Her legs wrap around my waist and she bends down and kisses me.
“Get a room!”
She giggles and moves away. I can’t get a boner here. I make her sit on the deck and push myself up too before helping her stand.
“Oh, you’ll regret it. Trust me.” She bites passing me by and I spank her ass, making her squeal as the guys cheer.
