Finding Sweetness (Sweet series) (6 page)

Yaz looked down at the class her sister had signed up for thinking it was funny, huh she would show her. Just because her sister knew how to ride a fancy new sports bike didn’t mean she wanted to. She had two hours before she went and took motorcycle lessons. She should have went and checked in on her aunt and uncle first but she didn’t have time she’d be late if she did. What the hell was she thinking letting her sister talk her into signing up for that? If that wasn’t bad enough she had let her let her partners in crime talk her into going to the gun range once they arrived. She lived in a military house, her father was adamant about teaching them everything there was to know about how to protect themselves. She already had a Smith & Wesson 38 Special. She called it her little pea shooter, it may be small but it packed a hell of a punch. Her father still kept his father’s 12 gage shot gun in his home along with many the many other guns he had collected while in the military. He had also bought one for each one of his children’s houses as well. He would always tell them that if someone broke into their home that all we needed to do is let the intruder or intruders hear the cock of that shotgun and they’d either do one of two things; one they would either back their asses up and out the house just as quick they came in or two they would continue coming on in anyway and that meant that they are meaning to do you bodily harm, which at that point you are to protect and defend your person and your home at all cost. He then said to aim, fire and blow the son of a bitch’s head off.  Her friends on the other hand had no clue how to shoot a gun! She loved her father’s military logic. She laughed to herself she’s going to so enjoy watching her two best friend’s miss their targets at the gun range. Now if she could just make it through this motorcycle class in one piece without wrecking on the driving course she would feel like she had accomplished at least some of things her friends and of course her sister thought she would never ever do.

Sloan’s Gun & motorcycle

Yaz walked in
to Sloan’s motorcycle course lobby and looked around. Once she spotted the reception area the receptionist waved her over and asked to her to sign in and have a seat that they were waiting on Sloan the instructor and one other to arrive and then the class could began. The rest of them sat another five minutes then in walked two very tall men. They both looked to be around six feet five and both had rippling muscles. The only difference is that one of the men was much older than the other given his salt and pepper hair color. The other man had a rugged looked to him and a smile to die for. Oh my, was he fine! He wore a white outlaw shirt and a pair of black leather biker pants and a pair of black boot and a black helmet tucked underneath his arm Yaz panties felt damp. She clamped her legs together and looked the other way. She felt so embarrassed!  Hello everyone I’m Sloan your instructor and this is AJ my assistant. AJ said hello to everyone and asked us to follow him to the classroom. Damn what an ass he had on him. Buns of steel! Once there everyone took a seat Instructor Sloan came in and took a seat at his desk while AJ handed out the booklets. This man was head turner if she ever saw one…shit she needed to get her mind on this class not this man. When AJ gave her, her booklet his fingers brushed hers she glanced up at him and he winked at her then went and stood beside Sloan. Sloan started the course and before we knew it day one was over. I packed up my bag and headed to my car. I needed to go and purchase a helmet somewhere today, we would be on the bike road course tomorrow; and forgetful me, forgot to pack my helmet. Slinging my bag into the passenger side I heard someone whistle. I turned around and instructor AJ was standing beside only what she could call a monster of a truck…an f650. O…kay. So you need a helmet he said in that sexy tone she had fantasizing about almost the entire class thus the reason why the class went by so quick. Umm… yes which I was just about to find a place to do just that. He opened the door to his back seat reached in and pulled out an all-black Aries helmet and held it out to her. She looked puzzled…umm no thanks I can just go and buy a helmet she said shaking her head. What for you’re only going to need to use for just a few days. You said yourself that you already have a helmet that you had just forgotten to pack it. Please I insist, he stepped closer just wanting to be near her a little longer; don’t waste your money on purchasing another helmet if you already have one. She took the last few steps reaching out to accept the helmet, thank you I appreciate it. I will take good care of it and I promise return it as soon as the course is over on Sunday. I know you will, he winked his eye at her and slowly moved a stray piece of hair away from her face. Have a nice rest of the evening then he turned and walked away. Okay her instructor did not just hit on her in a sly way did he? Oh what the hell she liked it though. Smiling she turned and headed to her car.

Chapter 4

She was here… She was finally here. She looked around the cabin. It was just as the website described, except it was even m0re beautiful
. The description given did not do it justice. She walked in the living room and took in the sight. The room consisted of warm browns and sage colors. There were four huge windows overlooking the lush green forest trails, the cream color couch and chair looked luxurious and plush. She walked out of the living room down the hall and in to the kitchen where she was greeted with a big basket of fruits and chocolates. The table it sat on was brown marble and yes of course granite; it also could seat 6 people at a time. The stove, dishwasher, sink and refrigerator were all stainless steel; she shook her head and imaged what it would be like to wake up here every morning? Just the feel of the cabin made her feel at home, she giggled… that’s the point silly, she said out loud “duh,” she went down a long hall to the bed rooms and picked into each one. The master bedroom was gorgeous…there were two huge windows on each side of her huge mahogany four poster bed. There was a fire place made of white marble granite in cased in mahogany wood, the floors were also mahogany wood as it was throughout the entire cabin. She picked up the remote on the bed and pressed a button, the blinds automatically came down nice and smooth. She pressed another and the fire place came on.   There were also other buttons for the TV and the lights. There looked to be a mini bar off to the side, as well as a huge flat screen TV mounted on the wall. She walked into the bathroom and was amazed as well. This was all too much. She didn’t know how to act. She wanted to run all over the house and scream from room to room because of how excited she was. Instead she picked up the phone and called her two best friends Kim and Azari and let them know she had made and how beautiful the cabin was. Damn girl we should have come with you said Kim, how many bedrooms do you have Three? Azari, what’s your schedule looking like? I’m free for about a week in three days. Oh hell yea me too. My kids go out for spring break; all I would be doing is grading school papers anyways, so I am in on that! Teachers need to have some fun too! Wait, wait, wait, a minute I didn’t ask you two heifa’s to join me Yaz said in the most southern drawl she could spit out. I came here to do the three R’s… rest, relax, and recuperate before I have to go back to my dry, boring, sexless, chaotic life! Her friends laughed at her.  You’ll have one week to yourself before we get there chica, you know you want us there. We can check out the local shops and take in the sites. Hell maybe we’ll get lucky Azari said; and find some local cowboys to ride! OMG! That is not what I came here to do giggled Yaz through the phone. Oh please don’t act like you don’t believe in save horse ride a cowboy Kim hollered! Listen Yaz you may still be a virgin but you have read enough of Zane, JR Ward, Lora Leigh, Sherrilyn Kenyon and Shara Azod & Dez Burkes books to know what to do when you decide to ever give the pussy up! Lord knows you have enough toys to practice with Azari snorted. I just don’t understand why you haven’t given in yet Yaz? I mean really… it’s been 8 years… Alton is not coming back; it’s time to move on girl because he probably has. Shit, if his father has anything to do with it, that man already has a white wife and about 2.5 kids by now and teaching them all the ends and outs of how to be a Nazi! You remember when you first moved into our neighbourhood. Hell… he called you nigger to your face in front of his friends like he was king shit, the bastard! All that white power BS they were shouting in a half black ass neighbourhood of all places, and I still think it was fucked up eight years ago even though he apologized and had a change of heart after you hid his ass in your house from the cops and how his Nazi ass just left and didn’t even tell you where he was moving back to, and just eww…what did you see in him anyway, don’t you know that the Nazi‘s hate black people? Yaz was heated right now for what her best friend had just said. You didn’t know him like knew him Zari okay… so do not assume you know everything that happened between me and Alton because when you assume something that you don’t know all the full facts about, you make yourself look like an ass! Okay chica’s let’s just calm down here for a moment Kim said, hoping to break the tension over the phone. Yaz we know Alton has always been a touchy subject for you Zari knows that. We just worry about you; you’re such a beautiful girl and a wonderful best friend, we just want to see you happy. Sorry Yaz said Zari. I didn’t mean to take our conversation there, will you forgive me? Yaz stayed quite. Alton had come into her life and had consumed her every thoughts and dreams for so long she just couldn’t get over it that easily. Maybe it was time to move on. Yaz, Zari yelled I’m sorry. You don’t have to say it… you were right, maybe it is time for me to move on, it’s just that every guy I have encountered never even came close to the way Alton made me feel, I’m willing to try harder this time to look past my feelings and give a man a chance. I’m not saying it will lead to sex but… I will try at least. Woo hoo… screamed Azari, that’s what I’m talking about! Some of the tension seeped out of her and she chuckled, bye girls I’ll see you in a few weeks. Before she hung up she heard Kim say…” Damn it’s almost been a year since I’ve had sex; I will defiantly need to go by some condoms.” These look old as hell! Yaz hit the end button on her phone and shook her head, God she loved her two best friends and even though they could make her mad as hell sometimes, she knew they would always have her back. She looked around the house again this time more slowly so she could once again take it all in. She finally ventured out to the wrap around porch and took in the scenery. It felt so peaceful, so…excuse me; she blinked and looked around but she didn’t see anyone. Was she hearing things? Umm…Ms Carmichael; She glanced down into the most mesmerizing brown eyes she had ever seen…well next Alton’s. Damn it stop it Yaz, stop thinking about him; she mentally chided herself. Then it dawned on her that it was instructor AJ? He had changed into different clothes but he still had a raw, rugged don’t fuck with me look going on, and damn her she liked it. She could tell that he worked out all the time even with clothes on. She saw his mouth moving but wasn’t paying much attention because she was too was busy taking in his masculine toned body. She wondered if he was a boxer brief man or did he go commando under his jeans? Her eyes finally wandered back up to his face, he was standing there with his hands in his pockets smiling up at her. God… he reminded her of the last night Alton was at her window the very last time she had seen him. She shook her head. I apologize… what we’re saying? He smiled even harder. I didn’t want you to be alarmed once I start to cut the grass around your cabin. I will also be mulching and putting in fresh flowers today. I hope you don’t mind? If so I could come back whenever you leave out, if you’d just let the front desk know they’d radio in to inform me. What are you doing here? Are you stalking me she said jokingly? He chuckled, no I just so happen to work here too whenever the owners need an extra hand, he held his hands up I promise I’m not stalking you. Grinning she gave him her blessing to refresh and beautify the outside of her cabin. Turning to head back inside she looked over her shoulder and said go ahead and handle your business, thanks for letting me know. He saluted her then started the walk behind lawnmower hopped on and commenced to cutting the lawn. She stared at him a moment longer before turning to go back inside. My, my, my; what a fine backside that man had! Her pussy was getting wet and if she kept standing there he would see her panting like a teenage school girl. She hurried inside closed and locked the door and headed to her suite case to get some clean clothes and panties and then to t
he shower; maybe she could cool her raging hormones down enough to leave and go to the market to get some groceries without having to run into Mr fine ass on the way out. She took a long shower hoping to pass some time, it was still early so she took her time to lotion up her skin, put on her new black strapless bra and barely there matching thong then she put on her favorite orange strapless sun dress and sandals. She then swooped up her long hair into ponytail put on her hooped earrings grabbed her oversized matching bag and headed to the front door. She looked through the peephole like an idiot trying to see if she could Mr fine ass. The coast looked clear so she made a dash out the door down the stairs and onto the walkway, as she rounded the side of the house she stopped dead in her tracks. He was kneeled down with his shirt off, hosing his heated skin off with water. Damn there went her clean panties, she was instantly wet again… for the second time this morning. What the hell was wrong with her? She had gone out on a few dates with other men and never had she gotten this reaction from any of them before. He stood up wiped his hands down his face and turned his gaze towards her. That’s when her “waiting to exhale” moment happened. She was tired of waiting on Alton’s no show ass. She was going to have a short lived fling with a stranger… this stranger. Alton be damned she thought! So instructor AJ you have the yard looking really beautiful. Thanks I aim too please. He scratched his chin and thought to himself “she really didn’t know who he was” he could work with this for the moment then he said I love making things look beautiful. He stepped a little closer; I like looking at beautiful things as well. He looked down at her full luscious lips remembering what they felt and tasted like after all these years. Coughing, he quickly turned away and starting gathering his gardening tools. Would you like to join me for dinner tonight she blurted out? He looked at her unsure of what to say. He had a brotherhood meeting at five that he couldn’t miss or his father would come looking for him to find out why he wasn’t there and he didn’t want his father or his band of sadistic foot soldiers anywhere near the Rocking C Ranch or Yaz. I have a work related meeting at five I have to attend maybe another time. Thanks for asking though. As bad as he wanted to take her up on her offer he couldn’t risk her being seen by his father under any circumstances. He turned to walk away when he heard her say “wait how about when your meeting is over?” He shook his head no. Well… I will still be cooking anyway, if you change your mind you put a lot of work into the yard I just wanted to thank you by making you a meal… she let the sentence drop off. Shrugging her shoulders she turned and opened the door to her Altima climbed in and shut the door. She was hurt a little bit. It was stupid of her to think that he would automatically accept her offer to join her for dinner just because he had flirted with her a little bit. Maybe he had a girlfriend, but if he did why didn’t he just say that. No… it had to be something else. Oh well she didn’t have the time or the energy to figure out what it was. She was on vacation and she wasn’t about to play twenty questions with him to find out. She started the car and pulled out of the driveway. She had always been the one to turn men down, not the other way around, but none the less she wasn’t about to give a shit; to hell with instructor AJ too!
