Chapter 6: Demon

The last several days had been tough. I got to see Zara every day, but it was never long enough. I didn’t want to leave at night. It killed me to watch her close that door. I wanted to stay and sleep with her enveloped in my arms, which was crazy, since I never let a woman sleep with me. She continued to protest, but I took her to work and picked her up every day. She had been right. Her four days off turned into one, then back to possibly three. She’d had to cover for someone else, so they took her Saturday and Sunday. She was supposed to have three days now. We’d see. I hoped they didn’t call her. She needed to have time to relax, and I wanted to spend those three days with her.

However, I was excited because today was the day we were taking our ride. I couldn’t wait. Having her wrapped around me on those short rides to and from work had been heaven and hell. I wanted her there longer and against me tighter. The feel of her breast pressing into my back made me hard and ache. I was trying hard not to pressure her, but I was dying to take our relationship to the next level.

It was ten o’clock in the morning when I pulled up to her house. She worked overtime last night and was exhausted when she got home. I’d stopped and picked up dinner, so she could eat and not have to cook. I had discovered she would skip meals when she was busy or tired. It wasn’t good for her. She needed to take better care of herself. I was going to ensure she did. I’d left around nine thirty, so she could get some much-needed sleep. I hoped she had.

When I knocked and she opened the door, I had to swallow hard. She was dressed for riding, and it made her look even sexier. I don’t know why because she’d dressed like this before. It was like every time I saw her, she grew more beautiful and desirable to me. She had her jacket and keys in her hand. I pulled her into my arms and gave her a kiss.

Over the last week, she’d loosened up a little when I kissed her. She didn’t pull away or stiffen anymore, and she even kissed me back a few times. I could tell she wasn’t used to getting affection. I planned to change that. When we broke apart, she was breathing a little heavy like me. I smiled at her.

“Good morning, beautiful. Are you ready to go?”

“Good morning, Luca. Yes, I’m ready. Just need to lock the door.” She gave me a tiny smile as she pulled the door shut. I took her keys and locked it before slipping them into my pocket. She looked at me questioningly but didn’t say anything.

Calling me Luca when we were alone was another victory this week. She would stumble once in a while but catch herself. I loved to hear my name coming from her mouth. It was something intimate and just between the two of us. I led her to my bike and helped her secure her helmet then mine. Once they were on, I got on the bike and held out my hand for her to use if needed. Now though, she was an expert at getting on and off my bike.

As she sat down and hugged herself against me, I groaned. God, there it goes. I was already half hard at her door. It was now a full-blown erection, but I wouldn’t change it for anything. I fired up my bike, and we roared out of her neighborhood. As we did, I looked at the houses around us.

She lived in a nice, older neighborhood. The houses weren’t fancy but nice. She’d told me she rented her house. She didn’t know if she wanted to stay there, so she hadn’t bought it. I planned for her to move into a house we had built for us on the compound. She’d be there with the other women and families, and she’d be safer than living in town.

Our ride was one that took us out into the country and heading west. We were going in the general direction of Nashville, though that wasn’t our destination. I was going to take us to Lebanon and through the Cedars of Lebanon State Park. It sat on over eleven hundred acres and was full of redwood trees and campsites. It made for a great ride.

We rolled along, content to look at the countryside. It was mid-March and spring was starting to peek out in the trees and plants. The grass was already turning that vibrant green, I only seemed to notice in Tennessee. Spring was truly magnificent when it was fully here.

We rode for a couple of hours, including the ride to Lebanon and around the park. I decided it was time to stop. She would need to stretch and get some feeling back in her ass. I pulled into one of the empty campsites. She got off and sighed as she walked around. I grinned as I took off my helmet and swung off my bike.

“Are you feeling a little numb, babe?”

“Numb? I wish. My ass hurts. I heard they call that the bitch seat. No wonder. If you aren’t a bitch before you get on it, you will be when you get off,” she smarted back. I threw back my head and laughed.

“Never thought of it like that. Here, I know what’ll help.” I walked over to her. She raised her eyebrows at me. I tugged her close. Taking both hands, I cupped her ass and started to knead both ass cheeks and down to the back of her thighs. She moaned and her eyes closed. I wanted to moan too. Feeling her ass was revving me up again.

“How does that feel?” I whispered.

“Like heaven,” she whispered back. I lowered my head and kissed her. I needed to taste her, or I might die. Her arms crept up around my neck and she kissed me back. Her tongue and mine teased each other, making me moan.

“God, Zara, tasting you and feeling your ass are heaven. You make me crazy, woman. We need to behave, or I’ll have you bent over my bike and be balls deep inside of you. This isn’t where I want our first time to be.”

“Then stop making me crazy with your kisses and touches, Luca. Because much more and I’ll let you take me over your bike, which sounds fun.” Her words shocked me. Zara didn’t talk about sex and us. I looked at her face and saw the passion, her pupils dilated and her breaths coming in hard pants. Was she telling me she was close to us being fully together?

“You keep talking like that, and we’ll be there. I’ll be taking your ass home and we’ll spend the rest of the day in bed.”

“Why don’t you keep those thoughts on hold until after we go out tonight? Then we can see where we are in the morning.” Her eyes told me she was serious. She was going to possibly give herself to me tonight. I had to keep myself from yelling out in triumph. I fought hard not to crow with happiness. I didn’t want to jinx it.

“I will. Now, let’s walk around and then we can head back. We’ll stop for a late lunch at the Angel and then go to the compound if you want. I think some of the others plan to go to the Angel tonight for the dancing. How does that sound?”

I wanted her all to myself, but I also wanted her to grow closer to the old ladies and my brothers. After all, she was going to be my old lady, soon if I had my way. We walked around for about a half hour then got back on the road home. It was after two when we pulled into the restaurant. The parking lot wasn’t too crowded. I did see some of my brothers’ bikes. I helped her off mine. Once we’d gotten situated, I took her hand and we headed inside.

The hostess quickly greeted us and took us to our table. I saw that Jinx, Mad Dog, and Animal from the Marauders were here with Bear, Player, and Tank. I hadn’t known they were coming. We sat down beside them.

“Hey, you two, enjoy your ride?” Bear asked. They knew what I had planned for today. I saw Jinx checking me and Zara out. I had news for him, she was mine and he’d better not pull his shit.

“We did. Went to the State Park in Lebanon. Thought we’d get a bite to eat before going to the compound. What’s up? I didn’t know Jinx or any of his guys were coming. Is there anything wrong?” I didn’t think there could be because if so, Bull would have called me back.

“Nah, we just had to make a run to Nashville and thought we’d drop in. It’s just the three of us,” Jinx answered. Then he looked at Zara. “Hey, beautiful, how’re you doing? You look like you enjoyed riding.”

She smiled at the fucker. “Hi, Jinx, Mad Dog, Animal. Yes, I do enjoy it. I was surprised how much I did the first time. It’s kind of scary at first, but after you get used to it, it’s amazing. You staying long?”
