“Hey, stop,” he says, pulling my chin up so I’m forced to look at him once more. “I’m your safe place, Skylar. You can talk to me about anything. I care about you, too, you know?”
“You do?”
“Peaches, I took your virginity. I put you on the back of my bike, and I’ve claimed you in front of our sister club. You’re the daughter of our Enforcer and the little sister to a man I respect more than anyone else in the club. Do you really think I’d claim you if I wasn’t serious?”
“You respect Mattie over anyone else in the club?”
He nods. “I mean, me and Killer are tight. Dom too, really. I respect all the originals too. Your family is badass, baby, you know that. Still, Breaker is the one I’ve worked with day in and day out. I’d trust my life with his decisions. I know there’s more and more talk about Dragon stepping down. If that happens, people figure Dom will step up and demand the role, but the club is family ran, really. It has been since Dragon almost died from the way I understand it. Dragon, Bull, and Dancer always vote on any major decisions before it is presented to the rest of us in church. To be quite honest, the majority of us are hoping when the time comes, it goes to Breaker. It’s nothing against Dom, but decisions he has made in the past haven’t been the greatest. He’s changed, sure, but he’s never been as driven when it comes to club business as Breaker. So …” he trails off, shrugging. I find myself smiling. I’m proud of my brother, but it’s more than that. It makes me feel good that they all see in my brother what I’ve always seen—not to mention the same thing about Dom. I shrug the thoughts away. It’s not my place to care what the decisions about the club are going to be. I know my dad, Uncle Dancer, and Dragon well enough to know they’ll be smart when the time comes for them to step down. I do know Dad is planning on it soon. He and Mom want to travel now that she’s ready to pull back from her medical career. They want to concentrate on each other, and I would like that for both of them. Plus, now that Thea is pregnant, they want time to devote to their grandkids.
I’m brought out of my thoughts by the way Torin keeps sliding his fingers back and forth on my hip. I can feel myself getting wet again. Of their own volition, my hips being rocking as my hunger for this man surges again.
“Tor …,” I whimper.
“Fuck, Peaches, I can’t take you again. I know you’re too sore to have me inside you this soon. Plus, you need to sleep. You have your test and then we have to head back to Kentucky. Once lockdown is over, both of us are going to have to talk to your family. I want them to know that you belong to me now.”
“Does that mean you belong to me, too?” I ask. I don’t tell him I’m insecure. He said he cares for me, but it didn’t escape my attention that he didn’t use the word love either.
“Abso-fucking-lutely,” he rumbles, kissing me again. I reach down and wrap my hand around his already hard cock. I squeeze it as he pulls away from me. “Baby, no. You have to be awake early. Plus, it will hurt too much if we—”
“I’ll sleep better after you give me another workout,” I respond with a grin. I can tell by the look on his face that he’s not buying my story, so I pull out the big guns. “Torin, I’m hurting now. I need you inside me. You’ll make it better, while being gentle. I know it. Make love to me. Please?”
He closes his eyes and lets out a breath. “You’re going to be the death of me, baby,” he growls as he pushes me gently onto my back. “You’ll tell me immediately if it’s too much for you.” I nod, knowing I’m lying my ass off. As long as he’s deep inside of me, I don’t give a damn if there is some pain. The pleasure more than makes up for it. Besides, there’s a part of me that is afraid this will all fall apart. After wanting him for so long, I don’t want us to be apart. I just need him as close as physically possible.
Hopefully forever …
Chapter 26
Joker
I stand, staring at the classroom door where my woman is taking her test behind. Several have come out already, but she warned me she is slow taking tests and may be in there for the full two hours. It made me smile. She probably knows the answers immediately, but my woman thinks over every choice. She’s deliberate in every single thing she does. I know that better than anyone.
