All she’d ever wanted to do was get the hell out of town, to be on the road, as far away from this place as possible, but instead, she’d stuck around. First, because her mom had been sick, but then she’d been sick all the way through high school. It had hurt when she died, but she’d been there, right by her side.
“Promise me, Charlotte, don’t waste a moment of life. It’s too damn short and we don’t ever get enough of it.”
She’d made that promise and yet was still here.
Wanderlust.
It had been in her blood for so long. Holding on to her jacket, she took a step back and screamed as an arm moved around her waist.
“Whoa, baby, I’ve got you.”
She pulled away from Ape, glaring at him.
I’m not jealous. You can’t expect anything from a man you’ve only known for two minutes.
Even though she tried not to glare at him, she couldn’t help it. “Thanks.” She started to walk down the street, which was in the opposite direction of where she was supposed to go. There was no way she was turning back to let him know he was getting to her. No way at all. She’d simply walk a little further away. That was all she needed to do.
“Hey, hey, I thought we were going to hang out.”
She stopped and turned toward him. “What did I tell you less than twenty-four hours ago? I don’t deal with cheaters. I’m done with them. I don’t allow men to … stray!” Damn, the words were just not coming.
Spinning on her heel, she turned back to the right direction of her place and kept on walking.
“Hold on just one fucking minute,” Ape said, grabbing her arm.
“Let go.”
“Fuck, no. I don’t know what the fuck is going on but I can tell you, I ain’t no cheater.”
“And you really expect me to believe you?”
“Yeah. I haven’t given you any cause to believe I am a cheater.”
She laughed. “Oh, really, so the woman I saw throwing keys at you. She wasn’t a girlfriend?”
“What?” Ape frowned, shaking his head.
“I’m not going to do this with you, or with any man.”
“You’re on about Piper. She’s not my wife or my girlfriend. In fact, my club president would fuck my face up if I even looked at her.” He started to laugh. “She’s his wife. I’ve never touched Piper. I’ve never even considered her as someone I want to be with. Believe me, she’s not the woman I want to be with.”
“Oh,” she said.
He chuckled and stepped up to her.
Now she felt like an asshole.
Ape pressed her up against the brick wall. “You got jealous.”
“No, I got cautious.”
He sank his fingers into her hair and tilted her head back. “I’ve got no problem with you wanting me. In fact, I like it.”
Before she had a chance to protest, his lips were on hers, kissing her, harder.
She moaned his name. Gripping his shoulders, she had every intention of pushing him away, only it didn’t happen like that.
Ape moved them and suddenly they were around the corner of the building, in the shadows. Her bag and jacket on the ground as he ran his hands up her body, cupping her tits.
“We shouldn’t be doing this.”
“I don’t give a fuck about what we should or shouldn’t be doing.”
He spun her around and she pressed her hands to the wall; he held her back so she didn’t hurt herself. Ape tilted her hips as he released the catch on her jeans and tugged down the zip. He pulled her pants to her knees, taking her underwear along with it.
Stroking over the curves of her ass, he spread her, grazing past her asshole to touch her pussy.
“So wet for me. You’re going to make me become addicted to this cunt, baby,” he said.
“Yes,” she said then moaned his name.
He groaned. His teeth sank into her neck and he bit down, licking and sucking. She heard his zipper lower and then the tip of him was touching her.
“Condom!”
He cursed but she stayed still as he quickly pulled one on. “We’re going to get you on the pill so I can fuck you.”
Her response was to cry out as he slammed balls deep inside her, taking her by surprise. The pleasure was instant, all-consuming, and she couldn’t stop, nor did she want to. He grabbed her hair, tugging her back, and then his lips were on her neck. His other hand held on to her hip, keeping her firmly in place as he slowly started to rock inside her, fucking her.
Anyone could come by at any minute and see, but with how good he felt inside her, she didn’t care. Didn’t want this to ever stop. It was better than she ever imagined.
As she moaned his name, he fucked her harder, riding her. He swallowed down her pleasure and the hand on her hip delved between her thighs, touching her.
