Climbing off the motorcycle, my legs wobble as if they are made of Jell-o. I tip forward and grab Grim’s forearms for support.
I let go once I’m confident I won’t fall. “Whoa.”
“It takes some getting used to.” Grim moves around me to grab a blanket out of his saddlebags and lays it out on the ground.
After we get situated, he hands me a sandwich and a bottle of water, which I greedily drink down.
I wipe my mouth with the back of my hand. “You were right, that was fun.”
He grins. “Glad you liked it.”
We sit in silence as we eat our food. I take time to enjoy the beauty of the desert surrounding us. The sun has lowered and has a serene hue about it. It’s calming and quiet. Grim lifts his hands as if he’s about to say something but lowers them quickly. I shift my eyes away and doubts creep in.
Did he bring me out here to tell me this isn’t working for him anymore?
Suddenly, the sandwich doesn’t taste so good. Knots form in my stomach as I watch Grim focus on the scenery around us. He doesn’t look at me, and it becomes clear what I have to do.
I have to release him from this obligation.
I poke his arm, and his eyes flash to mine. Sighing, I pick up my hands. A tiny crack settles in my heart, but I school my features and push forward.
“I can’t do this to you anymore,” I begin. “I think it’s best if I find another place to stay.”
His eyes darken. “What the fuck are you talking about?”
Unable to do this while looking him in the eyes, I dip my head. I can’t let him see me crumble, or he’ll want to keep up the charade. It’s gone on long enough. Time to pull up my big girl pants and set him free. I knowIcan’t divorce him, but he’s not bound to the church.
An idea starts to form, a way to let him off the hook.
“You’re gorgeous, Grim. You have so much to offer. I’m just me… nothing exciting.” Blinking back the tears that threaten to spill over, I continue. “We’ve been married for over a month now, and it’s obvious you’re only wanting friendship. It’s not fair to you to keep you locked in a marriage because you feel sorry for me. We never consummated the marriage so really, it would be an annulment.”
The world comes to a grinding halt. I tilt my head back, expecting him to find him relieved. Instead, he’s as still as a statue, his teeth clenched.
After several tense minutes, he springs to his feet, yanking me up with him. Grim stuffs the blanket back into his saddle bags and puts the helmet securely on my head.
I guess we’re done talking.
CHAPTER29
GRIM
You’re gorgeous,Grim.
We never consummated the marriage so really, it would be an annulment.
Violet’s words plague my thoughts the entire ride back to the clubhouse. Her small arms are wrapped around me tightly, no doubt out of fear that she’ll fall off the back of my Harley because of how fast I’m going.
Too bad. I love having her this close.
For a month now, I’ve bided my time. It’s taken many cold showers and sleepless nights, but I’ve managed to keep my hands to myself for the most part. And that ends today.
If Violet seriously thinks I don’t want her, or worse, that I want an easy way out of this marriage, I’m doing something wrong. It’s not that surprising, considering I didn’t have the best role models growing up, but I have watched my brothers with their ol’ ladies, and that should’ve been more than enough.
As soon as I park my bike in the garage, I’m on my feet in a flash and lifting her to throw her over my shoulder like a sack of potatoes.
A very sexy sack of potatoes.
My dick strains against my jeans, begging to be buried in her pussy. I carry her to the elevator, ignore her fists hammering against my back as we ride down to the common room, and shove past anyone who dares to get in my way.
