I shook my head. “No, I mean, I need to go and be alone. There are things I need to think about and I can’t do them while you’re with me.”
“What kind of things?”
I didn’t know what to say. Bryony was the one to answer him. “She knows that you’ll be looking for Reuben and when you find him, it’s not going to be so you can chat with him. She needs to be sure she can live with what the club is like, Blade. It’s best if you both find out now rather than later, after you’ve gotten deeper into each other.”
He swore. “Son of a bitch! What have you been telling her, Bry?”
“Don’t swear at my wife,” Storm growled, getting between them.
“Sorry, Bry, but shit, what the hell?”
“I told her the truth. She deserves to know. Let her have her time to process. She’s promised she won’t leave town. You’re going to have to trust her and give her that time. I’m sorry, Blade. I’m thinking of you both.”
He was silent and tense for several minutes. I didn’t know what to say. Finally, he grunted out, “Fine, let’s go. Thank you for breakfast. I’ll see you later.”
After that it was a quick goodbye to each other, hugs from the ladies, and then he was marching me to my car. He didn’t say a word. I knew he was pissed. I wisely stayed quiet too. The drive back to town seemed to take twice as long. Back at my place, he insisted on walking me to the door. At my front door, he kissed me and gave me such a pleading look.
“Please, Boo, don’t think less of me. I’d never hurt you or anyone who’s innocent. Monsters are my only targets. Call me as soon as you’re done thinking. Goodbye.” He waited until I went inside before he left. I locked the door and listened for the roar of his bike. I didn’t have long to wait. Dragging my exhausted body down the hall, I kicked off my shoes and crawled into bed. The first thing I had to do was take a nap. I wouldn’t be able to think unless I did.
Blade: Chapter 7
It was official. I’d lost my mind and I couldn’t wait any longer. The past three days had been torture for me. After dropping Cassia off at her place to think, I’d gone back to the compound. I updated Terror and the others on what exactly her story was. No one was objecting to helping her now. Smoke was working to find out what he could about Reuben and her father. He’d find them. Even if she decided she wanted nothing to do with me, those monsters would be taken care of.
I spent hours watching her apartment at night. Other than going to work and coming home, she did nothing else. If she knew I was there and followed her, she gave no indication. It took everything in me not to knock on her door and carry her off every day since. I had broken down and sent her some texts to see if she was alright. She answered them, but only with a couple of word replies.
She looked tired and sad every time I saw her. I couldn’t even allow myself to go into the bakery. Tonight, I was at the end of my rope. I couldn’t wait any longer for her to destroy my world. I knew taking this long could only mean one thing. She was trying to figure out how to tell me she wanted nothing to do with me. I was about to have my heart ripped out of my chest. So be it, I’d start dying now. No more waiting.
It was late, after nine o'clock. She usually went to bed around ten. I knew that by what time her lights shut off. I’d fought with myself to wait until tomorrow, but I couldn’t. She had to tell me. I knew that once she did, I’d beg her to reconsider. I’d tear my pride to pieces trying to get her to give me a chance. The only thing I wouldn’t do is force my will on her or hurt her.
I knocked hard and loud in case she was in bed already. It took her a couple of minutes to answer the door. She peered up at me with an apprehensive expression on her face. She was dressed in a robe. She only opened the door a few inches. “Blade, oops, sorry, Adam, what’re you doing here so late? Is everything okay?”
“I’m sorry to be here so late, but I can’t wait any longer. I know you’ve made your decision. You’ve had three days to think about this, baby. I need you to tell me what you’ve decided. Now.”
She sighed then opened the door wider and stepped back, waving at me to enter. I didn’t waste time. I was in and shutting the door in a flash. She moved away from me.
“Can I get you anything to drink? I’m not sure what I have. I’ll look.” She turned to go toward the kitchen. I gently latched on to her arm.
“I don’t need anything to drink. I just need you to talk. Let’s sit down.”
She was stiff as I led her to the couch. She made sure there was as much space as possible between us when we sat down. Another sign that she was going to send me packing. Fuck, I saw a drunken bender in my future, later tonight.
“Before you tell me, I just want to say something. Cassia, I meant every word I said to you. I did fall for you the second I saw you. I know I’ve gone about this all wrong. I’ve never been in a real relationship. All I wanted was to protect you and not let you leave. I know you have never had a good experience with men, but I will never hurt you. I’ll protect you and love you forever. My club isn’t as scary as they may seem. We don’t go around killing people all over the place. I won’t lie and say we haven’t brought justice to some, but only those who we knew the court system and law couldn’t. I want you to know that I’ll always look out for you no matter what. Okay, I’m done. Get it over with. Tell me we’re through.”
Like a pussy, I closed my eyes. I was glad none of the guys could see me now. They’d take away my man card. A minute or more passed. I was about to open my eyes when I felt her hand rubbing against my beard. Then her lips gently grazed mine before sealing themselves more firmly against mine as she kissed me. When I got over the shock of it, I couldn’t remain passive. I groaned and kissed her back. Her mouth responded by opening. I opened mine and our tongues met. My hand found its way into her hair and I gripped her neck with it as I pressed her upper body closer to me with the other. She came willingly.
I could swear I felt her hard nipples through her clothes and mine. I longed to cup her breasts and play with them again. Only this time, I wanted to remove her clothes so I could see them. The desire to have her naked and underneath me as I tasted and explored her whole body, then pounded myself into her sweet pussy, was almost too much. I held onto my sanity by a thread. I wouldn’t have been able to stop kissing her at that second even if someone put a gun to my head.
I dropped my hand on her back to her thigh. I squeezed it. I didn’t go near her pussy, but God did I want to. My cock was rock hard and pressing against the zipper in my jeans. The metal was cutting into me. I wondered what was keeping it from bursting through. I’d never felt harder or bigger than I did right now. My balls were tight and tingling. I wanted to pump her full of my seed.
Her hand-picked mine up off her thigh and guided it to a new spot. I was shocked when she placed it on her breast. This had my eyes opening and me breaking our kiss to ask her what she was doing. She was staring at me shyly and with a touch of apprehension in her gaze.
“Baby, what’re you doing? I can’t touch you there or I’ll lose it. This kiss is almost too much by itself. We’ve got to stop. I don’t understand.”
“What’s to understand? I want you to keep kissing me and I want to feel your hand on my breast. I still dream about the last time you did. How you made me feel and how I had my first orgasm. I want to feel that again. I need you to make me come.”
“God, I can’t. I can’t do that and then have you send me away. I can’t.” I started to move away from her. I had to put distance between us and get this over with, so I could go get drunk. She followed me and smashed her lips to mine again. Her teeth nipped my bottom lip. My resolve snapped.
I grasped her in my arms and lifted her so she was straddling my lap. Her legs were spread on either side of mine and her pussy was directly on top of my cock. She moaned and rubbed herself on me. I thrust my hips up, so I could rub my cock against her clit. The fabric of her pajamas under the robe wasn’t much. She whimpered and wiggled her hips on me harder. Panting, I broke contact with her luscious mouth.
