“I only found out this morning.”
She stared at him and he gritted his teeth.
“I’m thirsty.” She turned her back and he watched her go.
What the fuck are you doing? Just ask her to come with you.
“What’s happening with your shop?” he asked.
“The lease is nearly up. I’ve canceled all my clients before they have a chance to. I’m free. I’ve got nothing to take with me. Most of this is going either into storage, or I’m thinking of donating it. Then I’m done.” She smiled at him. “Where do you think you guys will go?”
“I don’t know. The open road. Destination is always unknown.”
“Sounds like fun.”
He stepped up toward her and she tilted her head back. “It is a lot of fun. You don’t know when your next stop is going to be. No bathroom. Just rest stops if we’re lucky.”
She smiled.
Sinking his fingers into her hair, he tilted her head back. “It’s not a place for a woman.”
“Piper deals.”
“I know.”
“What are you trying to say?” she asked.
He slammed his lips down on hers. As he slid his tongue across her mouth, she opened up and he plunged inside. She tasted fucking exquisite. He couldn’t get enough of her. One taste was never going to be enough. The past week and a half weren’t enough.
Going to her jeans, he opened the catch and slid the fabric down her thighs. After tearing off her panties, he picked her up off the floor and placed her on the counter, spreading her thighs.
He slid his zipper down, pulled out his cock, grabbed a condom, and rolled it over his erection.
Within seconds, he was inside her, filling her tight cunt.
They both groaned, the sounds they made surrounding them.
She wrapped her legs around his waist and he cupped her ass, fucking inside her hard and fast, taking her.
“Fuck, you feel so good.” He growled the words next to her neck. He pulled out of her and slammed inside.
The counter wasn’t good enough, so he held her in his arms and moved her toward her bedroom. Dropping her to the bed, he pushed her shirt up and cupped her heavy tits. The red nipples were already hard. He pinched them, and she cried out. The small bite of pain was what she needed.
He dropped his hands down to her hips, holding them as he pounded inside her tight pussy, watching her open up beneath him. There wasn’t going to be another woman quite like her.
So thirsty for his cock. Open to his sexual appetites. When he’d gone into her shop and saw Calum with his hands on her, he’d nearly lost it. There was no one else he wanted to see. Was this what Colonel was talking about? The possessive need that overtook all common sense? He wasn’t used to feeling this way about a woman.
He’d never experienced love.
The only feeling he had was on the open road and his club. Women had always come into his life and left so easily. They didn’t matter to him.
Yet, he couldn’t think of a night without Charlotte. She’d gotten under his skin. Could he really invite her along? What if she hated it? What if this was just moments of passion because they both craved something they knew they couldn’t truly find with one another?
He pulled out of her, flipped her over onto her knees, found his way inside her again, and wrapped his fingers around her neck, tilting her head back, and kissing her hard.
The angle was odd but he delved between her thighs, stroking her clit, wanting to feel her come all over his dick.
He was obsessed. This kind of feeling wasn’t healthy.
There was no way he was going to ask her.
“Please, Ape,” she said.
He fingered her pussy, teasing her to the point of release and only when she couldn’t take another moment, he pushed her over the peak, following her into orgasm. All the while knowing the choice he had to make was one he found difficult.
You’re a fucking coward.
You could have Charlotte and keep her.
Even still, as he pulled out, he knew he wasn’t going to ask her. Watching her walk away or her hating him, that was just too hard for him to bear.
****
Ape was gone.
Charlotte had no job. No home. No anything.
She glanced up at the shop one final time and smiled. It was time for her to move on. Calum hadn’t sued Ape, which was a good thing, seeing as he wouldn’t have gotten very far.
With her bag high up on her shoulder, she turned toward her car. She had no idea how long it was going to last, but so long as it got her out of town, she didn’t care.
Throwing her bag into the back seat, she climbed into the front. Each second that passed, her heart broke a little more.
