"And yet, you're wondering right now if I can make good on that promise to make you scream and tug at my Justin Timberlake hair. Spoiler alert, I can. And one day, I probably will."

"Haven't you heard? The women in my family are hard to please. Like, incredibly hard," she says and laughs.

Still close to her, he looks down into her eyes, expecting her to break contact but doesn’t. "Have you ever had someone make you tremble as the orgasm rips through your body, making you see stars or God or whatever magical thing you like?"

"Wouldn't you like to know?"

"That would be a no then, love," he says. "If you ever want to test out this lovely scenario I've drawn up for you, just let me know. I'm available and more than ready."

Marnie's eyebrow lifts to look at him with the same look he frequently gives her. "And what makes you so sure you'd be successful where others haven't been?"

"Because I'm an incredibly patient man in the bedroom. You need one of those, and as a bonus, I'm also willing to put in the time. The time and the effort to have your toes curling as you threaten to rip my hair out of my head because you come so hard."

"And just how would you do that?"

She's intrigued. At least they're getting further than their normal banter of insults. "Even if it took all night, I'd use my mouth, my tongue, my fingers, and my cock. If needed, we could also go out and buy all the little gadgets and toys to help you along. But I promise, you'll know what bliss feels like when I'm through."

Her breathing hitches, and she looks at his mouth. "And what would my dad think if I told him about what you just said to me?"

"You won't tell him," he says and smirks as he steps back and towards his bike. "If you do, you'll never know if I can make good on my promises."

"You really think I want to know?"

Climbing onto his Harley, he starts it and slowly backs it up before stopping beside her. "Your panties are soaking wet right now, and when I leave, you're going to touch yourself while pretending it's me. Yes, love, you want to know."

He pulls away quickly before she can say anything to ruin this moment for him, and he drives to his house barely a block away from the clubhouse. Hurrying inside, he strips his clothes as he makes his way to the shower, and he climbs in before the water even has a chance to warm up.

Her scent still fills his nose, and he strokes his hard cock fast and hard as he remembers how she looked at him. How her eyes dilated when he talked about pleasuring her. How she had a little look of excitement when he talked about making her toes curl. It's no secret her mother is hard to please in bed, and it sounds like she's had little success with men herself. But if she ever gives him the green light, he'll change that fact for her.

He thinks about how he could smell her need as he stood close to her, and how he needed to get away quickly before he scared her too much. Images of doing everything he promised to her fills his mind, and he closes his eyes while bracing on the wall before finding his release, coming hard on the tile.

There is an age difference between them, but it doesn't bother him. Something about Marnie calls to him, but he knows if he takes the flirting too far, making her uncomfortable, he risks his standing in the club. And if Dax wasn't so distraught over the loss of Dani, he might be more willing to listen to the others who dislike him already. The ones who don't believe he belongs in the club because he scares them. Because he's the only one who was ever capable of getting the dirtiest of jobs done.

Those assholes are fucking lucky to have him. It's just a shame no one seems to see that. Maybe one day.

Chapter Six

Summerville

Bodie

"Bodie?" Lex calls as she knocks on the door of the room Bodie stays in.

The guest room he hasn't moved out of because he's comfortable and likes the company. Besides, Noah's a cool kid. Cooler than most of the people he knows. Colt and Lex like having a built-in babysitter, but he genuinely likes being there.

"It's open," he calls from the bed.

The door opens, and Lex's curly hair appears before he sees her face. He always gets a kick out of her hair. "You're gonna need to come out here."

"What's wrong?" he asks, jumping up.

Colt's on a run, and Bodie makes a point of staying at the house when he's gone. The last thing he wants is something bad to happen to Lex or the kids while the man of the house is away on business. Lex has a history of attracting weirdos, it seems.

"You have a visitor."

No one outside the club knows where he's staying, and none of them would feel the need to bother him at home. He's still a new kid around here.

Bodie slips on his boots, thinking he's going to have to take off for something. The moment he steps into the living room, he nearly falls over with how fast he stops in his tracks.
