Page 33 of Laying it Bare Biker Style - Grayson

Snaking my good arm around her waist, I tugged her to my chest and kissed the top of her head. “You’re more than worth the grief I know I’m going to get. But we’ll figure it out. But how about tonight, you help me shower and I show you just how much I love you.”

Tilting her head back, she gazed up at me, her eyes dancing with lust and a hefty concentration of love, so I pressed my lips to hers. It was only meant to be a quick taste, but quickly morphed into a devouring.

“Hey, keep the extreme PDA out of the shared living areas until Ryder and I can indulge as well.” Sage’s amused and annoyed tone preceded her entry into the kitchen. “I came in for a snack and then I’m going to take a nap before dinner. You two are making dinner, right?” She walked over to the refrigerator and stuck her head inside. “Jade is sleeping now so I’m taking advantage.” She pulled out a container of mixed fruit and another of yogurt and placed them on the counter, before retrieving a bag of granola from one cupboard and a bowl from another.

“We’re planning to make dinner tonight. So you eat your snack and take your nap. We’re going to cuddle on the couch before starting the food.” I tugged Brooke into the living room and we left Sage to her snack.

After dinner, Brooke joined me in the shower, where we washed one another and indulged in a huge amount of foreplay before I took her to bed to make love, demonstrating how much I loved her thoroughly . . . twice.

The next morning, while we ate breakfast, I warned her to stay out of trouble so that I would stay out of trouble with her father. She gave me a less than convincing promise she would do her best. Then I walked her out to her car and kissed her soundly before she slid into the driver’s seat and backed down the driveway.

The work day at the garage passed by quickly and without any incidents and to my knowledge nothing transpired anywhere that would inadvertently have Brooke involved.

However, after work, when I pulled into our driveway and discovered Brooke’s car not there, an eerie feeling washed over me. Rushing inside, I jerked to a stop.

Ryder stood at the bar, scowling at a piece of paper in his hand. He growled. “Apparently Sage and Brooke went out to do a little shopping before dinner. She dropped Jade off with Misti and Angel. I mean she did have Bolt go with them, but I want to have at least two guys with her anytime she is out without me. Until this shit with Brutal Demons is done. Fuck.” He pulled his phone out of his pocket and tapped on the screen. “Well fuck. It went right to voicemail.” He jabbed his finger on the screen again. “And her tracker has been disabled.” He slammed his hand onto the bar. “Someone broke her phone. Fucking bastard! Let’s head to the club. We need to set up and conduct a search and probably rescue.”

I followed Ryder out to the garage to hop back on my bike, my mind a whirl with scenarios. And none of them good. My gut churned because something told me we weren’t overreacting and Sage had just dropped her phone and now it wasn’t working properly. Before I drove in the direction of the club, I called first Brooke’s then Bolt’s phone, but both also went straight to voicemail. At least the two girls were most likely together and could depend on one another until we got to them. But that didn’t provide me much comfort.

“Are you sure the guys aren’t going to have a fit that we’re heading out without them?”

“I made sure Bolt could tail us. Besides we won’t be long.”

I glanced over at Sage as we strolled through the mall, peeking inside the windows to see if we spied anything we wanted to check out. “I mean, I know they aren’t possessive to the point where you aren’t allowed to do anything without their permission. I didn’t mean it that way. I just know Ryder is really protective of you because of this shit with that old club. And Grayson has been a little protective with me since those two incidents.”

Grabbing my arm, she tugged me into a lingerie store. “I knew exactly what you meant. And you’re right on those accounts. I just wanted to do something for me and Ryder.” She waggled her eyebrows at me. “He’s been so good at helping me with the baby. When she gets better at sleeping through the night, I want to have a nice surprise for him.” She paused to peruse the selection of lacy Babydolls on one of the round racks in the middle aisle.

Why wouldn’t he be good with the baby? Jade was his daughter. Maybe bikers had a difficult time adjusting to the daddy life. But I didn’t voice my question. “I guess since I’m out, I can look for something for Grayson too. I don’t think he’d mind.” I giggled. “You must have gotten pregnant really quickly. Unless it was insta-love for you guys too.” I snatched a pale blue lacy number from the rack and held it up to me. Lace covered where my breasts and pussy would be, but the belly and back areas were cut out. It didn’t leave much to the imagination, but I didn’t think Grayson would mind and I really liked it.

A strange look briefly crossed her face before she smiled at me. “I think that outfit is perfect for you. Very racy. You should get it. And I’m so excited Grayson told you he loved you. Ryder and I kinda had guessed that already. But the guys are pig headed about stuff like that.” She picked up a lacy peach one that had a bit more material than mine but was still very sexy. “But back to your earlier comment: I just happened to get pregnant our first time.” She shrugged. “He wasn’t ready to fall in love again when we first met. He’d been burned pretty badly before me and wasn’t looking for a relationship. He was really up front about it too. And I was okay with just having sex. Deep down I was hoping he’d fall for me, but I was starting to think it wasn’t going to happen. I fell really fast for him. Part of that was due to the fact that I had lost my parents when I was really young and was just looking for something to fill that void. I was an only child and classmates weren’t really kind. And when I ended up with Pyro Devils it really wasn’t that much better. The guys weren’t vicious. Not like that one from Brutal Demons. But they were rough and made sure you knew you didn’t mean anything to them; that you were just property. And the girls there were cruel bitches. But then I met Misti and Angel too. I know that’s a terrible reason to want someone, but that was just how it started. But the more time I spent with him; the harder I fell and it was easy to see he was a great guy.”

“Hey no judgement here.” I rested my hand on her arm. “I think when you met him you just realized he was the one. I don’t believe it had anything to do with your past. Sometimes you just know when he’s the right one.”

“Like with you and Grayson?” She bumped her shoulder into mine.

“Yeah, even though I had given him a hard time when we had first met; when he came to my rescue later on that night, I let my preconceptions go really quickly. But he needed that earlier sass from me to bring him down a few pegs. You know, because he is just way too cocky sometimes.” I giggled.

“They all are.” She lowered her voice like she was giving me some top secret information. “But they are entitled because, well, they earn it with everything they do.”

I couldn’t deny her words. Although Grayson was definitely cocky; but because I knew him now, it no longer grated on my nerves. And I certainly benefitted from that cockiness in the bedroom. “I’m glad Ryder rescued you from them. You are so amazing and I’m glad I met you and that we’re friends. And you and Ryder make a perfect pair.”

“My sweet to his severe.” She shot me a smirk.

“He definitely looks the part of a biker. Grayson on the other hand reminds me more of someone who should be on the cover of some woman’s magazine or maybe their tough guy version of it. But it doesn’t mean he doesn’t act the part of biker. But Ryder definitely has the appearance as well.”

Sage and I wandered back to the dressing rooms. The attendant unlocked two rooms for us and we stepped inside. After stripping out of my jeans and t-shirt, I slipped into the lingerie. Turning to face the mirror, my lips curled into a mischievous smile. Grayson was going to go nuts. The garment accentuated the little curves I had and the amount of skin it exposed would have him pouncing on me the second I stepped into the room wearing it. He treated sex like a celebratory feast with me as his prize winnings. And he would probably say the Ruger 380 holstered on my ankle added to the allure. My smile widened. He was something else. But he was all mine and I loved it.

“So, are you going to buy it?” Sage’s eager voice sounded from the other side of the wooden panel separating our rooms. “I’m going to buy this one. I still have quite a bit of weight to lose and we have to wait six weeks, and it’s going to be a little while before Jade is sleeping better at night. So I have time. But now I have a surprise for him that I am ecstatic about.”

“I’m going to buy it. I’ll try to keep it down tonight when I model it for him.” I snickered. “I don’t know why I’m not embarrassed to say that to you.”

“Because you know there is no shame in letting your guy love you the way he wants to. But you should at least feel a little bad for me that I have to wait.” Her tone held a slight pout. “But I’m not going to be jealous of you. Well, maybe just a little.” She giggled.

After changing back into my clothes, I met Sage outside the rooms and we headed to the check out and paid for our purchases.
