I smiled and kissed her with so much passion I stole the breath from her. This was right. Being with her felt right. There was no room for fear or caution. My head was no longer at war with my heart. I didn’t need to worry about falling.
Because I had already fallen in love with her.
CHASTITY
After the shower I pulled on one of Ruger’s t-shirts and sat in the kitchen while he made me breakfast. The view was pure eye candy. Ruger shirtless and in a pair of black pants with a belt hanging low on his hips, and his broad, muscular back to me as he flipped pancakes at the stove.
My body reacted accordingly.
Now that he’d taken my virginity, he had opened the door to a sexual awakening I was ready to dedicate hours to exploring.
With him.
He flicked off the stove and turned around, revealing a six-pack that flexed and released as he slid pancakes onto the two plates on the countertop. I watched him pour maple syrup over the two stacks and wondered how long it would be before he would make love to me again.
He slid a plate across to me.
“These look good,” I said, hungrily digging into them.
He grinned and it was so beautiful I felt love bloom in my chest. This man was everything. I was in love with him and it made me giddy. I was so happy I wanted to scream it from the rooftop.
In time.
“So, what happens now?” I asked, pushing pancakes through the maple syrup.
“I think we need to take a breath and think about how this is going to work,” he said soberly.
“I don’t need time or space to think about this. I know what I want. I want all of you and everything that comes with you.”
He smiled again, and just as it did before, love flared in my chest making me warm and happy. When he leaned down and scooped up his pancakes, his thick arms bulged at the shoulders and biceps.
“I think we need to be upfront and tell Bull—”
“No!” I said, a little too forcibly.
He stopped chewing and raised an eyebrow, but didn’t say anything.
“I mean, can we keep this quiet for a bit?”
He put down his fork. “If you’re worried about how he’s going to react—”
“I already know how he’s going to react. He’ll hate it. He’ll lose his shit, and once he’s finished killing me, he’s going to kill you.” I pushed my plate away. The idea of telling my uncle had killed my appetite. “But that’s not why I want to wait.”
“Why, then?”
I leaned forward on my arms. “Because I want to enjoy this for a while. The moment we tell anyone about this the whole club will have an opinion about it.”
A tiny smile hinted on his lips because he knew I was right.
He brushed a strand of hair from in front of my eyes. “I’m going out of town for a couple of days with your uncle. Let’s take that time to think about how we’re going to do this.” His eyes sparkled and his voice softened. “But we need to tell him, Chassy. What we’re doing, it’s breaking all the rules—”
“They’re stupid rules.”
“Regardless, we have to be tell Bull. I don’t want him finding out by accident.”
“I understand. But I just need some time. The club has owned everything of mine since I was born. My family. My friends. Hell, it has influenced everything in my life. I just want this one thing to be mine… just for a while.”
I could see he understood by the look in his eyes. “Fine. We’ll wait until I get back from Gulfport, but then we tell him.”
I nodded. I would follow Ruger’s lead.
He had more to lose because of this, and God knows I wasn’t ready to lose him.
RUGER
It was hell walking into chapel a few hours later and not being able to talk to Bull about Chastity. But I respected her choice in taking some time to enjoy what was happening between us without any speculation and judgment from other people.
And part of me thought she was right. As soon as people knew, it would become a topic of conversation and everyone would have an opinion. Not that I gave a fuck about people’s opinions. That concern had left me years ago. What I did care about was having my time with her invaded by the club. I wanted to get to know her. Work out what was happening between us.
There was no doubt I was getting lost in her.
And it was the worst fucking time to lose my head over a chick.
But that was the thing. She wasn’t just some chick.
She was my best friend’s niece.
The woman I had fallen for.
And she was all I could think about.
At chapel, I was preoccupied. Mentally, I was at home with Chastity, naked and exploring every inch of her delectable body with every inch of my tongue. I was packing a serious boner. Even after keeping me up all night with her tight pussy, I was still aching for more, and the ache was distracting me from the task at hand.
