“You promise I’m not more trouble than I’m worth? Don’t you need to get away from me for a while? Because you don’t have to take me with you if you need to go on a trip to relax a bit.”
I wasn’t used to this Lemon. Since the first day I’d met her, she was larger than life. A force of nature. It never occurred to me she’d been under this much stress because she handled it so well. This was stress she put on herself. I was absolutely convinced she had higher expectations of herself than anyone else ever could.
“Honey, every single day in your presence makes me realize how miserable and empty my life would be without you. I’m not going anywhere without you. We’re a team.”
“Oh, Rocket!” She jumped into my arms, wrapping her limbs around me as tightly as she could. I held her just as hard. “I love you. I love you so damned much!”
“Ah, baby. I love you too. I have for a while. I will never, never, let you go. Do you understand me?”
She didn’t answer. Instead, she found my lips and kissed me like she was starving for my touch. I wanted nothing more than to devour her, to let her lose herself in my body the way I wanted to lose myself in hers. But the bruises covering her body made me restrain myself. Making love to her would be easy enough. I could make her come until she passed out. But I was going to do it my way. That meant not taking her like I normally do. Like an animal during mating season. No. This time was going to be slow and careful and long. So very, very long.
Chapter Ten
Lemon
This man. This wonderful, wonderful man…
Rocket was everything I’d never known I needed in my life. Sure, I’d committed myself to him over a month ago, but it took believing I might be losing him because of my own stupidity to really appreciate how much he meant to me. I’d said it on more than one occasion. My way of thinking had always been “see me, love me, motherfucker.” I’d never cared what people thought of me. Not until Rocket. And by extension, Grim Road.
“I just want to do right by the club,” I whispered. “To be the best vice president and old lady I can be.”
“Honey, you are. I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect partner. You… you’re everything, Lemon. We need you in the club. I need you in my life. By my side. In my bed.” He kissed down my neck to the place where my shoulder began. The water cascaded over us in a warm fall adding to the sensations Rocket was expertly building.
Every single time he fucked me, he taught me something else. He’d taken me at least once a day since he took my virginity. Sometimes twice or more. I craved his touch and did my best to give him as much pleasure as he gave me.
He dipped to my breast and sucked the nipple into his mouth with a strong pull. I cried out and threaded my hands through his hair as my clit throbbed in time with his sucks. I arched my back, thrusting my breasts at him and he pinched the other one and twisted lightly.
“That’s my girl. Talk to me. Let me know you like what I’m doing to you.”
“Nope!” I gasped out. “Hate it. Gonna have to try harder.” I had no idea where that came from, but I was glad it popped out when he chuckled and the vibration went from my breast straight to my sex again.
“There she is. You’re back with me, aren’t you. My sassy, sexy little sourpuss.”
“Rocket…” I breathed a happy sigh of relief. Maybe I’d been feeling the stress the whole time I’d been here. All I knew was something inside me unfurled and I felt lighter than I had in a long time. I guess the pressure had been building subconsciously since the beginning.
“I’ve got you, baby. You have doubts? You bring them to me. No matter what they are. That’s one of many things I’m here for.”
“I…” I swallowed and shook my head slightly, closing my eyes before taking a deep breath and trying again. “I’ve always been the one looking out for everyone.” I have no idea where my outburst came from. I wanted to lose myself in Rocket so I could just forget everything for a while.
“Yeah. Figured.” He didn’t stop, but kissed his way down my belly until he knelt on the shower floor in front of me.
“What are you doing?” My hand bunched in his hair and flexed, gripping and tangling in his shaggy hair.
“We’ve done this enough you know what I’m doing, Lemon.” He leaned in and swiped his tongue through my folds and I cried out. I abruptly sat down on the bench. “We’re gonna take our time.” Lick. “And do this proper.” Lick. “Once I’m done, you’ll never doubt me again. You get me?”
