“Sure.”
“Thanks.” I grab a water and step out into the sunshine, swigging it back. It’s just a few hours until one. I toss the bottle in a nearby bin, readjust my now tame dick, and start running toward Green Park, dodging the pedestrians, focusing forward.
My legs are soon numb and my body drenched. And despite the gorgeous scenery, I see only her.
I run for two hours, circling all the parks, nearly making it back to Lusso at one point. I head back to my car but detour down Bruton Street, just to catch a glimpse of her. She’s at her desk, relaxed back in her chair, twiddling a pen as she looks over some papers in her grasp. She still looks perfectly flushed. Perfectly engrossed. Perfectly mine.
I could stand here and watch her all day, but I won’t. Because that would be weird. So I force myself back to my car and race over to The Manor to get my bike, stopping by Lusso to pick up my helmet. It’s the perfect day to ride and, shit, do I need to feel the peace that can be found while speeding through the countryside on my Ducati.
I hear Jake in my mind yelling at me to take it easy. I smile. “Just because you would have ridden like a Nancy,” I say, reaching for the stereo. Placebo joins me, and I slip my shades on, cocking my arm on the window. I’m thinking. I’m thinking what an amazing track this is to make love to. I play it on repeat for the entire journey.
The second I cut the engine, my phone sings, and I huff a sardonic puff of laughter as I answer, taking the steps up to the entrance fast. “You need to stop saying stupid shit to Ava,” I warn Sam.
“What’s classified as stupid shit?”
“Anything relating to kinky sex.”
He laughs, and I scan the entrance hall as I pace to my office, hoping no one is going to hinder my speedy visit. “But shewastied up,” he goes on. “And you know what?”
“What?”
“She fucking loved it.”
“I’m happy for you.”
“You know, I think Kate will be totally cool when I tell her.”
I’m ground to a stop. “You’re not fucking telling her,” I practically growl, making Sam laugh.
“Not yet. Not until you open your big gob and enlighten this woman, whom you’re apparently in love with, on what you do for a living. But in the meantime, I’m having fun priming Kate. Where are you?”
I get moving again. “At The Manor collecting my bike.”
“Which one?”
I smile. Sam’s a petrol head too, his Porsche giving him multiple orgasms daily. “The Ducati.”
He whistles. “Why won’t you let me ride that thing?”
Because that thing is precious. Jake’s dream. “You couldn’t handle it.”
“Fuck you.”
I laugh and hang up, arriving at my office and swapping my keys before making a sharp exit to the garages. Sarah catches me in the lobby, just as I’m a few feet from freedom. I carry on walking, and she follows. “Going for a ride?”
“Yep.” Opening the garage door, I scan my rows of bikes before I put on my helmet.
“You only ride when something is on your mind,” she says. Bysomething, she means Jake. It’s my way to feel close to him without being able tobeclose. I fucking hate that Sarah knows everything there is to know about me. I hate even more that Ava doesn’t.The woman I love should know my soul. I swallow hard and throw my leg over the saddle. But today, I don’t only want to feel close. My rides are soothing when nothing else soothes, but they’re also a glorious time killer. I need that now.
“I’ll see you tomorrow.” I start the engine, tingling everywhere when the exhilarating sound travels through me. I would give anything to have seen Jake ride just once. Anything. For me, as an adrenalin junkie, it even getsmypulse kicking. Jake would have creamed his boxers. I kick the stand up and rev a few times, and Sarah appears in front of me, her mouth moving. She looks irritated, but I can’t hear a damn word she’s saying. It’s a blessing. I snap down my visor and skid off, kicking up clouds of dust that’s probably left her coughing all over the driveway. I shouldn’t laugh. I know I shouldn’t laugh.
But I do.
As I approach the gates, I start to slow, seeing they’re already opening. John’s Range Rover pulls in, and I lift a hand as I pass. As soon as I hit a clear road, I open her up.
I thought I told you to take it easy.
My adrenalin surges.
