Chapter 13 Frost
THIRTEEN
FROST
As she laid there, my cock still ached against her walls.
Even though I had just poured every last ounce of me--and even though she had drenched me in her squirt--I still wasn’t satiated.
I had dreamt about this for years. I had longed for her body wrapped around my own ever since I had come home from overseas.
Ever since I made my way to our shared apartment, only to find that she had relocated without leaving an address behind.
“I love you,” I murmured as I bent forward.
I scooped her limp body into my arms and held her against me. With my dick still inside of her perfect body, I walked toward the nearest wall and pinned her to it. Her head fell back as her eyes lazily opened, half-hooded from pleasure as I threaded our hands back together.
Then, I slid the backs of her hands up the wall as her tits hung beneath her shirt like beautiful, life-filled teardrops.
“Jesus, you’re beautiful,” I whispered.
Her head came forward and our lips collided, causing me to move my hips. She locked her legs around me, even with as much as they trembled, and bucked slowly against me. She met me, thrust for thrust, allowing me yet another turn inside of a body I had no right to lay claim to.
And yet, she let me.
I swear, I won’t ever do you wrong again.
She moaned down the back of my throat. Her body sprang back to life with every thrust of my cock inside of her luscious body. She wiggled her hands out from mine and my palms connected with the wall. She wrapped them around my back, clawing at my shirt as her nails raked down my muscles.
Feeling her cling to me like that sent me into the heavens, and I captured her lips because I wanted so desperately to swallow her sounds.
“Please, don’t stop,” she whispered down the back of my throat.
I pounded against her so hard that the sounds of wet skin slapping wet skin overpowered her moans and groans as I swallowed them down.
Our tongues collided, battling for dominance as my body fell flush against her own.
We rocked together. We fucked together. We moaned, and groaned, and gasped together.
With not even a sliver of air separating our bodies, I made love to a woman I had never wanted to let go of in the first fucking place.
And when her body tightened against my own, I prepared myself for yet another release.
“Come with me,” I grunted. “Fall over the edge with me, sweet pea.”
“Oh, Dean,” she squeaked out.
We fell into the darkness together in a fit of shivers and lust. My cock unloaded yet again, filling her to the brim as her pussy pushed me out. I slid to the floor, taking her with me as I perched on my knees. And as her orgasm rocked her body, she melted into my body.
Falling weak to my assault as she panted for air.
“My God,” she whispered.
She managed to kiss the crook of my neck and my heart took flight. “I’m right here, Lexi. I’m right here.”
The second she sniffled; I knew what was about to happen.
While her mark soaked the bottom of my shirt, her tears soaked the top of them.
Her sobs poured forth so greatly that her shoulders shook, and I wrapped my arms around her before I turned myself toward the wall.
With my back seated against the solid surface, I situated her in my lap.
She curled into me and gripped my shirt, allowing all of her emotions to bubble forth before they fell into my lap.
And as I held her tightly, whispering sweet nothings in her ear, I blinked back my own tears.
There would be time for them.
But at that moment, Lexi needed me to be strong.
I’ll never love another woman the way I love her.
I wasn’t sure how long she had been crying, but when her tears finally dried, I laid us down on the floor.
I was much too spent to carry us anywhere, but she didn’t protest as we laid there on my kitchen floor.
I gazed into her glorious blue eyes and tucked a strand of that luxurious blonde hair behind her ear.
And it wasn’t until her hair shifted that I caught a glimpse of the purple beneath it.
“Your favorite color,” I murmured as I fingered a strand of the dyed hair.
She giggled softly. “So, I can look professional at work, but still be the life of the party.”
I grinned. “You always were the life of any party we went to.”
I wanted to stay like that forever. I wanted to lay there with her until we both regained our strength, then I wanted to carry her upstairs to my room and make love to her for the rest of the night.
I wanted to wake up with her in my arms before we packed up our things, left town, and drove until we couldn’t drive any longer.
A fresh start was what we both needed.
But, all too soon, reality broke through as my phone started ringing in my pocket.
“You need to get that?” Lexi asked.
I groaned as I jammed my hand into my pocket. “Unfortunately. Give me a second.”
I opened the text I got from Stone and rolled my eyes. Of course, he was calling church. Why wouldn’t he call church? It wasn’t as if we didn’t have four fucking meetings a day just to go over the same bullshit every single time.
“What?” Lexi asked as I sat up. “What is it?”
I pushed myself to my feet. “I have to go.”
“Wait, what?”
She scrambled so quickly that she almost fell. I caught her in my arms and helped her plant herself, but she refused to let me go. Her hands fisted my shirt, as if she were about to punch my lights out or something, and the desperation behind her eyes shattered my heart all over again.
I’ve traumatized this woman.
“Where are you going? Why are you going?” she asked.
I massaged her wrists until she released me. “Club business. Our President is calling a meeting. I’m required to be there.”
She wrinkled her nose. “You mean, your bike gang actually has a hierarchy?”
I chuckled. “Yes, we do.”
“So, he calls, and you jump? Is that how that works?”
I settled her hands at her sides. “This isn’t me leaving. This is me working. I promise you that.”
She searched my eyes for a while before she nodded. “I shouldn't trust you; you know.”
“I know.”
“But I do need to be getting home anyway. I’ve got things of my own that I need to do.”
Panic gripped my heart. “You can’t go home. Not right now.”
She blinked. “I don’t really have a choice in the matter, Dean. I need to get home in the next few minutes.”
I sat up onto my elbows. “Well, how about you just stay here, then? That way, I can--.”
She shot up like a bat out of hell. “No. I’ve already told you what I need. So, you can either take me back to my car, or I can grab a cab.”
“What in the world is so important at your place that you wouldn’t have here?”
The look that washed over her face gave me pause. The anger that flooded her eyes had nothing on the panic that twisted her lips. I furrowed my brow as she stood to her feet, exposing her naked body to me before she quickly gathered her clothes.
And I noticed that she was shaking, so I reached up for her hand. “Lexi, talk to me.”
She pulled away. “I’m not arguing with you. I don’t have the energy. Either do what I’m asking or let me go so I can figure it out.”
I got myself onto my feet. “If the cartel spots you and figures out where you live, you’re fucked. I’m just trying to protect you, and I can protect you if you stay here.”
“I’m not staying here, okay!?” she exclaimed.
I didn’t want to rock the boat any longer, especially after the beautiful moment we had just shared.
I watched as she fixed her clothes back onto her body, and as she continued drawing in deep breaths through her nose, I knew there was something she wasn’t telling me.
Something she had back at her place that was much more important than her safety.
I wanted to know what it was. I wanted to know what the hell was worth risking her life over.
But I knew I couldn’t force it out of her.
If anything, that would push her further away.
So, I simply offered her my arm. “Then, let me get you back to your car. I’ll follow you home to make sure no one tails you, if it’ll make you feel better.”
She wrapped her arm around mine. “That would be just fine, thank you.”
The ride back to the hospital was silent.
Not that it could be any other way, but even if I had those fancy-ass speakers in my helmet I was pretty sure neither of us would have said anything.
I pulled up to her car and she hopped off my bike.
She handed me her helmet before digging out her purse, then she quickly hopped into her car.
I did as I told her I’d do and I followed her back to her apartment complex, and when she parked her car, she got out and waved at me.
And after she disappeared up the steps, I eased my way toward the entrance gate.
Before I saw a low-riding car pass behind me in my side mirror.
“Oh, no you don’t,” I growled.
I passed through the gate only to whip back around, but I didn’t kick up my engine unless I had to.
I walked my bike back up the hill and perched in a parking space with a clear view of Lexi’s apartment complex while making sure I was hidden by some fake-ass bushes.
The low-rider car eased by her street but turned around and paused right at the entrance to the dead-end road her building sat on.
And as I looked up the facade of the building, I tried to figure out which apartment she was in.
Just in case someone had been waiting for her once she got inside.
I found shadows moving behind a curtain and a shiver ran down my spine.
Someone threw the curtains open before peeking outside, but it was a woman around Lexi’s age that I recognized.
That was Chloe. I’d know that face anywhere without a shadow of a doubt.
A smile spread across my face at the idea that Lexi hadn’t been alone all this time.
It also made me happy that the two of them were still friends.
Then, I watched as Lexi came to the window.
