Chapter Eight #2
I sigh heavily before grabbing my school bag and quietly making it out of the house.
Once again a bottle smashes against the front door and I barely manage to shut it in time.
Thinking over the money predicament I curse heavily; I'm going to have to go to the club tonight.
It's the fastest and only source of income I have but I try to avoid it if possible.
I can only hope that he won't be there tonight.
I'm so lost in my thoughts that I don't notice the black SUV parked a little ways down the road from my house; that is until it honks, scaring the shit out of me and almost causing me to face plant on the concrete.
Just as I start to tip forward strong arms band around my waist from behind, stopping my fall.
I tense for a brief moment before the smell of spicy musk registers and I relax again.
"Hunter!" I say out loud.
His arms tighten around me for a brief moment before he sets me upright and takes a step back.
"Want a lift Sweetheart?"
"Sure, thank you."
The ache in my chest is becoming almost unbearable and is pulling me in the direction of the car.
I know Kai is in there. I stumble, almost drunkenly towards the car.
Hunter looks at me concerned but before he can say anything I practically jump into the back seat of the car.
My only thought is that I have to get to Kai.
As I land inside, I notice that Kai is sat on the opposite side of the car his jaw clenched and his body straining towards me.
I try to move towards him, but something holds me back.
I glance behind me to see that Hunter has wrapped his arm tightly around my waist.
I didn't even notice.
"Let me go." I growl.
Four shocked sets of eyes stare at me, but I can't seem to care right now. My eyes are locked back onto Kai. I notice for the first time that Maverick has an arm wrapped around Kai's chest from behind restraining him.
"Let me the fuck go now." Kai's deep voice growls, sending shivers down my spine and causing heat to pool in my stomach.
Unlike last night Hunters touch is doing nothing to take the edge of the burning ache lodged in my chest. I'm vaguely aware of the guys sharing looks before I'm suddenly let go of.
I launch myself across the seat and onto Kai, straddling him.
In a normal situation this would have embarrassed me but at the moment I simply don't give a flying fuck.
Kai's arms wrap around me protectively almost crushing me to him.
I don't care, I need him closer.
My arms wrap around his neck, my fingers diving into his hair and clenching, pulling gently.
His head buries into my neck as I hold him to me, breathing in the scent of cinnamon.
He groans quietly slipping his hands under my shirt.
The skin on skin contact is almost too much and I tug his hair harder.
He growls and places a kiss on my neck just below my ear.
The sparks of electricity blaze through me so much stronger and infinitely more delicious than last time.
I moan and buck my hips forward before biting down on Kai's neck.
His hips jerk forward into mine causing us both to moan at the fierce pleasure coursing through us.
I bury my head into his neck as our breathing becomes ragged.
Just as quickly as the feelings took us over, they gradually start to dissipate.
Slowly, my heartbeat calms and I start to become aware of the sounds around me.
I lean back looking at Kai.
"What the fuck was that?" I question, my eyes wide.
"We have a theory but either way me next." Jax chimes from somewhere outside the car.
I look back at Kai expecting to see anger or jealousy but he's just grinning cheekily over my shoulder at Jax. Turning around I spot all of the guys now getting back into the car. My cheeks heat at what they just witnessed, I have no way to explain it.
I wriggle off of Kai's lap causing him to growl lowly.
Levi starts the car and we make the short journey to school.
Sitting between Jax and Kai, I'm grateful that the ache in my chest has gone. Although the ache elsewhere has not diminished, I clench my thighs together trying to ease it and glance at Kai quickly.
"Are you alright Beautiful Girl?" A deliciously naughty smirk curves his lips and I inwardly curse.
He knows exactly what my problem is, in fact a quick glance around the car at the matching smirks tells me they all know what my problem is, and they are enjoying it.
I’m not going to lie, the sight of the deliciously indecent smirks on all of them has heat rushing through me all over again.
I bite my lip hard trying to snap myself out of my lust filled thoughts.
I watch as all of their eyes dart to my lips, their eyes darkening with desire almost simultaneously. Even Levi glances in the mirror.
Huh looks like I affect them as much as they do me. This knowledge gives me a giant confidence boost causing me to say something I wouldn't normally say out loud.
"Since you all seem to know what my problem is you could offer to take care of it for me." My voice is low and breathy, a smirk tilts my lips.
Levi slams the brakes on just before the turn into the school lot and turns around in his seat, his shocked look turning more heated by the second. I glance around at all of them my eyebrow raised, noting their looks of utter shock quickly morphing into something hungrier.
I sigh heavily, exaggerating.
"No? Oh well I'll just have to take care of it myself then." I shrug nonchalantly hardly believing I spoke the words out loud.
Before they can recover, and determined to get them back for thinking my need was amusing, I lean forward planting a kiss on Levi's cheek. Enjoying the sparks and lingering to feel them a bit longer he groans as his eyes close and he shifts uncomfortably in his seat.
I grin, turning to Hunter who is sits in the middle at the front, I do the same earning a deep growl. Quickly losing my determination I place a kiss on Maverick's neck which is the only place I can reach from this angle, my insides clench as he growls my name in warning.
I smirk before sliding across the seat and straddling Jax in order to hop out of the car he groans deep as I hop out. I deliberately left Kai out knowing that if I were to do the same to him my control would snap completely.
I salute the guys who are still staring at me.
"See you inside!" I say cheerfully, walking in the direction of the school.
"Dammit woman!" Hunter yells from the car and I look over my shoulder and back towards them smirking.
Happy to see that they all look highly amused.
I make it just inside the school before a strong-arm wraps around me bringing me against an extremely well-muscled chest.
"You're playing with fire, Darling." Levi growls into my ear, sending shivers down my spine and heat pooling in my belly.
I glance up seeing them all crowded around me with those damn indecent smirks across their handsome faces, their eyes blazing.
I turn around, deciding it's easier to deal with one at the moment.
I have no idea what has gotten into me, it seems my hormones have decided to go into overdrive.
I lean up as Levi bends down for me, his hands landing on my hips to steady me.
"I know exactly what I’m doing, Levi. I’m pretty damn good at playing with fire." my lips brush along his ear as his hands tighten on my hips and his body tenses.
We are all snapped out of our haze when the bell rings loudly signalling the start of class. I step back finally getting my hormones under control before frowning.
"What the fuck is wrong with me? I'm not normally like this."
They all share a look before Levi nods.
"It appears we are going to have tell you our theory on what's happening sooner than we thought, we can't tell you here though." Maverick explains.
I stare at them confused.
"Why didn't you want to tell me yet?" I ask.
"Because we aren't sure the theory is correct, and we don't know if you'll believe us." Levi replies.
"We don't want to scare you off, Beautiful Girl." Kai tells me linking his hand with mine.
"You mean too much to me, to all of us.” Hunter says sincerely.
My throat closes up with emotion.
"We care about you a lot, Little Star. Even if you are a minx." Jax adds, eyes shining in amusement.
I grin around at them, unshed tears in my eyes.
"I care about all of you too." Then to lighten the mood, and since my new found confidence is apparently staying, I add with a wink, "I'll try to keep my hands to myself, I make no promises though."
I walk off towards my class giggling when I hear Hunter call me a devil woman, nothing but warmth and amusement in his tone.
