Page 33 of Shar: A Woman Alone

Placing my hands gently on either side of Shar’s face, Ilean down and murmur, “Let me see if we can change your mind.” I place my mouthover hers and probe between her lips with my tongue. When she opens her mouthenough, I plunge inside and taste her, devouring her mouth and I have toacknowledge she returns the kiss just as fervently.

Clashing of tongues and teeth, we kiss for quite some time.My lips are tingling, so I know Shar’s must be. Looking down at her, I place myforehead onto hers, holding her face still between my hands. We both aregetting our breath back, but what I know is that we have a spark, but it’s asmall one, and not the soul-destroying one that says she is mine. To say I’mdisappointed is an understatement.

“You’re not the one, Sharp. I hoped you were, but you’renot. You still have your woman out there waiting for you to find her. Acceptnothing less than the woman who will own your heart.” Shar kisses my lipsgently, before walking out of the office and closing the door softly as shedoes so.

CHAPTER 16

Crack

“Are you ready to roll, Crack?”

“Yeah, yeah, hang on a minute.” I rush into the kitchen tograb a bottle of water and then head to my hog. I drink the bottle of water andthrow the empty bottle into the trashcan we keep near the front door of theclubhouse.

I know Trip is agitated about speaking with the realtor, buthe’s got to get this deal done and get the lowest price we can for the place.Gunner is putting up a ton of cash towards the business and it will cause adent in his bank account.

Pulling up to park in front of the salon, we unstraddle ourhogs, and place our helmets on our seats before turning to the front door. Ilook at Trip from the corner of my eye and stop myself from smirking as helooks like he wants to kill someone, not do a deal.

Stepping inside, I keep a straight face when the realtorexcitedly flutters over to Trip. Now, nobody said what had gone down with therealtor but watching this, I can imagine. Trip is gritting his teeth, and I cansee how clenched his jaw is.

“Oh, hello, you brought a friend?” The realtor asks, with afrown on his face.

From Trip’s face, and the look on the realtor’s, I can tellthis is going to be a shitshow unless I step up. I smirk at Trip, then state inthe most feminine voice I can manage, but I’ve gotta say a biker with tats,huddling up to his man is a strange image. “Oh, hello,” I give a sweet smile,and flutter my eyelashes while gripping Trip’s forearm and leaning the side ofmy head on his shoulder. Trip has gone as stiff as a plank and I want to bustout laughing, but hold it back, especially when I see the shock on therealtor’s face.

“Are you two together?” The realtor asks, clasping his handstogether and looking like he wants to cry.

“We are, aren’t we honey?” I turn to Trip, who looks likeany minute steam is going to blow out of his ears and nose. I don’t want topush my luck too far, so I turn back to the little man. “Okay, so we want tomake an offer on the place. Well, Trip does.” I again flutter my eyelashes andstart to step away, leaving Trip to speak to who I now realize is Thomas.

Shaking me from the hold I have on him, Trip moves awayafter giving me a ‘Fuck off’ look. But I bat my eyelashes as I sashay to theother side of the salon and leave him to deal with Thomas.

It doesn’t take too long for Trip and Thomas to haggle aboutthe offer that Trip should put forward. Trip walks over to me after I hear himstate, “No, I’ve got my man and don’t need another one.”

I chuckle and continue to play the game, rushing over toTrip, grasping his hand and linking our fingers. “Are you ready to go now,honeybee?” I ask, and think my eyelids are getting one fuck of a workout.

“You into a threesome?” Thomas asks.

Oh, you can bet I play this one. “What did you say? Are youhitting on us? I think you need to back off because this man’s mine, all mine,and I don’t share.”

Thomas places one of his hands on the top of his chest whilelooking at me with eyes as round as saucers and looking like he wants to runfor it. “Sorry, I’ll get this place locked up and make the offer.”

Both myself and Trip get out of the salon and to our hogs,all the time watching as Thomas quickly locks the place and literally runs tohis vehicle and takes off.

Turning to Trip, I grin. “You okay, honeybee?” I ask whileholding back the belly laugh I want to let loose.

“You ever tell anyone what happened here and I’ll rip offyour balls and make you eat them, roasted with chili powder,” Trip snarls, butI can see the amusement in his eyes.

Back at the clubhouse Trip updates Sharp on the offer thatwas made, and I know he’ll discuss it with Gunner before anything is signed, ifit comes to that point. I sit in the office and close my eyes, relaxing for ashort time. I know I’ve still to go over to Dance Mecca because Pres wants meto complete who will be bar manager and answerable for that side of the club.

“Crack, if you can stay awake long enough?” Pres questions.“Go through to the kitchen and ask Lira if she wants to make any changes? Thensee if she needs anything for the room we’ve given her.”

“No problem, Pres.” I head out of the office and directly tothe kitchen, where Lira is working at the sink, rinsing dishes and filling thedishwasher.

“Lira, you got a minute?” I ask.

Turning and giving me a smile, she nods. “I have. What can Ido for you? Oh, no, I don’t have time to make any cookies today.”

“Wow, no, I’m not asking for cookies.” I hold a chair outfor her to sit, and take one myself, then continue. “Pres wants to know if youhave any changes you want made in the kitchen and your room?”

“The room is okay, but I would like to clean up thedecoration a little. Trip tried his best, but hey, he’s a guy. What more can Isay?” Lira looks nervous, and I can’t help but think she’s a sweet woman.
