Maggie moaned and giggled in the dark as
she felt Jase
’
s tongue sliding
between her legs. She leaned her head back and closed her eyes, fingers
tangling in his hair, feeling the motion of his head moving around her center.
The coolness of the sheets and the low summer breeze from the open window
countered the heat of his body against hers. She could only stand a few minutes
of his sweet torture before she grasped at his shoulders, trying to pull him on
top of her.
Jase moaned a few times as he lingered,
his tongue flicking over her clit one last time before he obliged her silent
orders. He traced a trail with his mouth up over her stomach and breasts. When
she kissed him, she felt her own wetness on the 5
o
’clock
scruff on his chin. Jase slid his hips between her legs, his aching hardness
pressing onto her sensitive lips. She gasped in his mouth and he laughed a low,
sexy laugh that made her stomach shiver.
Jase seemed to tease her a few more
moments, sliding his cock against her without entering, until she whimpered and
squirmed beneath him. He dropped a hard, passionate kiss on her lips when he
finally relented and pushed inside of her. She inhaled the moan he let out when
he felt her warmth around his cock. He began to thrust into her desperately,
pulling her body for leverage to get as deeply inside of her as he could.
Maggie grasped at him, digging nails into his back with every powerful meeting
of his hips on hers.
It was only a few minutes before they were
both crying out in sweet release. Maggie bit into Jase
’
s
shoulder, holding him close as she came. She felt him shudder against her, and
deep inside her.
Maggie collapsed against the sheets, and
Jase, on top of her. The sounds of their heavy breathing filled the bedroom.
Jase lifted his head up to look at her and
planted a kiss on her lips.
“
That
’
s
five—
record broken.
”
“
Record broken
hard
,”
said Maggie with a chuckle.
“
Good
show, Campbell.
”
“
And to you, ma
’
am,”
said Jase. He playfully bit around her stomach where
he knew she was ticklish, and Maggie collapsed into giggles until she finally
got him to stop.
Rolling off to lie next to her on the bed,
Jase played with her curly hair as she lay on the pillow.
“
I
feel like it
’
s been too long
since we got to do this - at least this many times in a row.
”
“
Yeah, well, who
’
s
to blame for that, mister?
”
said
Maggie with a quirk of her eyebrow.
“
I know, I know,
”
said Jase.
“
Things
have been busy with the club, I know. Henry
’
s
finally giving me better jobs than just bartending.
”
“Ugh,”
said Maggie immediately.
She twisted around dramatically.
“Don’t
even want to hear his name.
”
Jase laughed and tweaked her nose.
“
Maggie,
we
’
re fucking in the man
’
s
house.
”
“
Yeah, well, not for long,
”
she said.
“Oh?”
said Jase. He laid his
head down on the pillow next to her and gave her a hopeful grin.
“
Finally
going to move in with me?
”
Maggie grinned back at him and scooted a
little closer. She had practiced broaching this conversation for hours in the
mirror before her father had finally left the house, allowing Jase time to come
over.
“Maybe…
“
“
Seriously?
”
said Jase. He perched on his elbow and looked at her.
“
When you put a goddamn
ring on it,
”
she said with a laugh.
Jase mussed up her hair. It was the response she always gave him when he asked
about moving in. She waited just a beat before she tacked on the new part.
“
And
if we
’
re moving into some place
that
’
s not in LeBeau.
”
When he didn’t answer right away, she
looked up at his eyes. Some part of her knew he might be resistant, but truth
be told, the bigger part of her heart which held his love had no fear until she
saw that worried sternness in his jade-colored eyes.
Jase took a deep breath.
“You
’
re
still on about this?
”
“
About moving away? Yeah,
I
’
m still
‘
on
about it
’
,”
said
Maggie.
“
Did
you think I wasn’t serious when I brought it up before?
”
Jase sighed and rolled over onto his back.
Maggie felt her heart start to ache when he threw his legs off the side of the
bed and checked his phone.
“
Jase, don’t
ignore me,
”
she said.
Jase turned half around.
“I
’
m
sorry. I
’
m not trying to
ignore you. I’ve just heard this before. Every time you and Henry have a fight,
you talk about getting out of here.
”
His words stung. He made her sound so
reactionary and emotional.
“
That
’
s
not what this is.
”
“
Then what is it? Why do
you want to get away from here so bad, Maggie? I don’t get it.
”
“Yes you do, you just don’t agree with it.”
“You
’
re
right, I don’t. Henry has only ever made my life better, and you
’
re
asking me to feel exactly the opposite about him
—
and
break my commitment to the club by leaving,
”
said
Jase. He stood up and put on his boxers.
Maggie sat up.
“I
’
m
not asking you to feel differently about Henry. How could I? I just
…
don’t
you get it, Jase, that the Henry you know
and the Henry I know are not the same man? He gives you the world, and every opportunity,
but he can’t push me away from all of it fast enough. He acts like I didn’t
grow up in that fucking clubhouse right alongside you.
”
“You
’
re
his daughter, of course he
’
s
going to treat you differently from some stray kid he picked up.
”
Maggie could hear the tone in his voice had gone to a
bitter place.
“
But he
’
s
never let you want for anything. Hell, he
’
d
probably let you live here until you
’
re
a senior citizen.
”
“
That
’
s
not the same thing as love,
”
said
Maggie, shifting up onto her knees.
“
Giving
me an easy place to live only makes sure I owe him obedience to his rules. He
doesn’t care what I want
—
only what he
wants. And he wants me to be with some normal person with an office job, a
boring husband, and a weekend hobby.
”
Jase stood at the end of the bed, clearly
frustrated, but unable to find the words for it. He put his hands on his thin
waist and shook his head. Maggie crawled up to him and leaned against his
chest. He put one arm around her back with a light touch.
“He
’
s
not going to let this keep on, Jase,
”
she
said in a quiet voice.
“You
’
re
becoming his golden boy at the MC, but he wants me as far away from it as he
can
get
me
. You can’t
honestly tell me you haven’t noticed what
’
s
been going on since we got together
…”
“We’ve
been together a long
time,
”
said Jase. He wouldn’t look at her.
“
As friends, yes. And he
was fine with that. But the second we crossed that line
…”
Jase shook his head but said nothing.
“He
’
s
kept you as busy as possible with club stuff. He
’
s
kept me here as much as he can, and when you
’
re
not here, he makes very clear that he isn’t happy about us. Haven’t you noticed
that every time you stop by when he
’
s
here, he finds some way to get you out of the house quickly? I mean, why are
you even here right now, Jase? You have work in less than six hours.
”
“
It was the only time we
…”
he trailed off.
“
It was the only time we
could find where Henry wouldn’t be around,
”
said
Maggie for him.
“
Where we knew he
would be busy and we could steal a few hours. Is that how you want this to be
—
us
forever sneaking around my dad?
”
“
If you moved in with me,
this wouldn’t be happening,
”
said
Jase.
“
He
couldn’t stop us then.
”
“He
’
s
your president, Jase. He
’
s
my dad. And he practically owns this town. Moving in together isn’t going to make
those relationships magically disappear.
”
Jase sighed.
“
What
are you trying to say, Maggie? What do you want?
”
“
I want you to move away
with me,
”
she said.
“Let
’
s
go find a new start somewhere else, away from all of this. Let
’
s
have our own lives.
”
She
ran her hands up his chest and looked up at his face with hopeful eyes.
Instead, she saw only pain on his face.
“
Maggie
…”
Jase
took her hands in his.
“
My whole life is
here. My friends are here. My mom wouldn’t have anyone else if I left.
”
In all her imagining of this moment,
Maggie had not prepared herself for this. She thought she had, but she
discovered a level of pain for which she had no name
“Don’t
you love me?
”
said Maggie, unable to
stop the tears surfacing in her eyes.
“
Of course I do,
”
said Jase. He kissed her hands with fervor and looked
into her eyes.
“
Of course. I love
you. That
’
s why I want you
to stay and make a life with me here.
”
