I heard the roar of a Harley and smiled. I hadn’t heard from Cade since he left, and I was glad he was ignoring my request not to sleep with me while Ian was here. I needed him tonight.
Hearing the Harley too, Ian gave me a look, not as excited as mine.
Amy caught this and she pointed her fork at my brother dangerously. “Look here, Mr Soldier, don’t you dare try any of your macho man bullshit and be a dick to Cade. He can handle it, I have no doubt about that, but we don’t need the drama. He cares about your sister and makes her happy, that’s all you need to know,” she said firmly, holding a stare with Ian until he nodded stiffly, grabbing his plate and getting up.
“Thanks for the amazing grub, sis, but I’m knackered.” He heaped more cake onto his plate before shrugging his shoulders at me. “If I get hungry in the night.”
I let out a giggle as he kissed me on the cheek. He nodded at Amy and walked down the hall to the guest bedroom.
I quickly turned to Amy as I heard the front door open and close.
“What the hell was that?” I inquired.
Amy looked at me innocently. “What?”
I glared at her disbelievingly. “You know what. You and Ian, what the hell is going on? You guys were acting weird.”
“No, we weren’t.”
“Yes, you were.”
“Were not.”
I let out a frustrated groan, yanking her plate away.
“Hey, what the fuck?” Amy asked angrily as I swiped the serving plate away and stood out of her reach.
“You don’t get any more until you tell me what’s going on,” I declared, holding both plates up in the air. I was vaguely aware of Cade’s eyes on me as he entered the room, grabbing a beer.
Amy scowled at me, then at Cade. “Your girlfriend is evil,” she stated, pushing past me and snatching a piece of cake before running upstairs.
“That will go straight to your ass,” I yelled to her back.
“Fuck you!”
I laughed, turning towards Cade, who was leaning against the breakfast bar with a raised eyebrow. “Dare I even ask?”
I dumped the plates on the counter and began tidying up. “Nope, just girl stuff.” My mind was still stewing over the weirdness between the two people I loved.
Cade remained silent and stayed where he was, which was weird. He always had to have his hands on me.
“Where have you been today?” I inquired softly, not wanting to sound like a whiny bitch, but also needing him to tell me more about where he’d been disappearing off to.
“Club business,” he clipped, taking a chug of his beer.
I didn’t answer, waiting for him to elaborate or tell me what was going on. There was just silence, apart from the sound of me cleaning the dishes. The silence lasted a while, until I drained the sink and turned to look at my broody man. Our gazes locked and we just stood there for a moment staring at each other.
It never got old checking Cade out. He had a rough growth of stubble shadowing his face and along with his long black hair, he looked wild and sexy. His muscles nearly burst out of his black tee shirt he wore under his cut, his veins pulsing underneath his tattoos.
I licked my lips, feeling a tingling between my legs as my gaze neared his eyes. His look was intense, hungry, roving over my body. I was only wearing my yoga pants and a racer back singlet, but the way he looked at me, you would have thought I was wearing my sexiest LBD.
Without a word, he stalked towards me and seized me, covering his mouth with mine. The kiss burned out of control, Cade lifted me up and I wrapped my legs around his waist. His mouth never left mine as he carried me up the stairs. I was thrown on my bed and Cade jerked my pants off, lifting me to get my underwear off at the same time.
“Cade,” I groaned, my voice rough with arousal.
His dark gaze stilled me. “No talking,” he commanded. He unzipped his jeans, just to free himself, leaving the rest of his clothes on.
He leaned down, lightly kissing my inner thigh before reaching up to take off my tank. I was fully naked and Cade covered me, fully clothed. There was something terribly erotic about that. He roughly tweaked my hard nipple, I cried out as his other hand worked between my legs.
“Quiet,” he instructed gruffly.
He covered my mouth with his own before roughly thrusting into me. I moaned loudly into his mouth, raking my fingers down his cut as he pounded into me mercilessly. My orgasm ripped through me, melting me into little pieces. I arched my back, unable to take the intensity as Cade continued his thrusting. I felt him shoot his release into me, which sparked me to melt all over again. I took a while to come back down to earth, opening my eyes to Cade staring down at me with an intensity that was scary.
“I love you,” I murmured into those grey eyes.
Shit. Where did that come from?
Man, I couldn’t keep my mouth shut, I hadn’t even properly admitted it to myself until today and here I was blurting it out.
Fuck.
I realized I had closed my eyes, embarrassed and pissed off at myself. I gingerly opened them, afraid to see Cade’s face. He hadn’t moved and was still staring at me with that intense gaze that seared my soul.
Crap.
“Um, sorry, that so shouldn’t have come out…I was just high on an orgasm, you know?” I sounded like a total dweeb, who said “high on an orgasm”? “Well, no, I –”
“Shut up,” Cade interrupted me, which was a good thing, who knew what I would’ve said next. I bit my lip, waiting for him to say something.
“Say it again,” he demanded.
“What?” I asked shyly.
“Fucking say it again, Gwen.” His voice was hard, almost emotionless, but one hand reached to softly frame my face.
“I love you,” I all but whispered. “I’ve loved you since you scared the shit out of me outside my house, even though I couldn’t admit it to myself until now.”
His eyes flared, but he said nothing. After a beat, he plastered my mouth to his in a passionate kiss, setting me on fire all over again. He drew back, eyes still hard, but full of emotion.
“Needed to hear that, baby.” He kissed my forehead and pushed off me, buttoning his pants back up. “Got to go. Got some club business that can’t wait. Fucking Spiders causing some shit, need to lock it down before that shit spreads.” His voice was grim, but focused.
My heart dropped.
I tell him I love him and he gives me a quick kiss and is going to bail? Well isn’t that a kick in the vagina.
I couldn’t deal with this naked while he stood above me fully clothed. I moved to get up, to cover myself, but Cade’s arm landed on my chest, stopping me.
“No, Gwen, this is exactly what I want to picture in my mind for the rest of my night. My girl, freshly fucked, orgasm all over her face, my cum running out of her. Naked, looking like a fucking goddess.”
He gave me a rough closed mouth kiss before standing again, giving me a long look then he was gone.
Chapter Twelve
“Needed to hear that. That’s what he said? Are you sure you heard right, like maybe your ears weren’t working right after minding blowing sex?” Amy asked, sipping her coffee, looking at me hopefully.
I stared back at her, feeling sick. “Nope, that’s definitely what he said. Then he left. Crap, I am such an idiot,” I whined, putting my head in my hands.
