Page 7 of Rooster's Redemption

“So, did you decide if your hypothetical question was answered about carrying a secret?” Her hazel eyes are on me and I almost drop the box in my hands. I forgot about our conversation and almost spilled my secret.

“I need to think about it a little more,” I put the box on the shelf and grab the mop bucket.

“Remember, the longer you,” Poison holds her fingers up in air quotes, “hypothetically,” she drops her fingers, “keep it, the harder it will be to tell the truth and it’ll eat you alive.”

I open my mouth to say something when the rumble of Harley’s in the alley interrupts me. I go back to mopping up the spilled liquor, keeping my eyes on the floor and not the girls around me. I don’t want to see their smiling faces right now when my own happiness wants nothing to do with me.

The girls leave the storage room to greet their men in the hallway when they come in, leaving me alone in here to think things through. I should tell Rooster what’s going on. But if I do, then not only my life will be in danger, but hers too. I can’t have that innocent soul’s blood on my hands. Then again if Savage Saint can help, they can save her. I’d risk my life for her any day. I’ve been risking my life to keep her safe for the last six months. She’s innocent in all of this mixed up from her mother making the wrong choice years ago. See why I’m so confused about what to do.

I’m lost in my mind when a large shadow falls over me. I scream and drop the mop. “Easy Baby Princess.” Rooster’s deep voice echoes around the small room. The look in his black eyes steals my breath.

I put a hand against my racing heart and steady my breathing. “Fuck you guys are terrible. I think I’ll have a heart attack one of these days.”

Rooster steps into the room and shuts the door behind him. The walls are closing in on me the closer he gets. He takes up a lot of space and the sexual tension between us is unbearable. I lick my dry lips and his eyes follow. He breathes through his nose, controlling whatever is racing through his mind.

“If you told the truth about shit, you wouldn’t be jumping at your own shadow.” Rooster growls. He steps closer to me and my will to stay quiet is crumbling. With every step Rooster takes in my direction, I take one back until I’m flush against the wall. He cages me in with his muscular arms. I inhale his scent and my willpower crumbles when I look into his black eyes. He’s staring down at me with a mix of worry and lust. I can’t even remember why I shouldn’t tell him anymore when he’s standing this close to me.

“Tell me and I can help.” Rooster's warm hand caresses my face and I lean into him. “I won’t let anyone or anything hurt you again. But you have to trust me.” His lips are millimeters away from mine and his breath fans across my face. Desire pools deep in my belly.

“If I do,” I stare into his eyes lost in the dark depths of them. “If I do, then I’m as good as dead and so is she.”

“Alyssa,” my name rolling off Rooster’s lips sends a shiver down my spine and my panties are close to catching on fire. “I will protect you. We all will protect you. But we can’t if you don’t tell me what’s going on.”

With my mind made up, I nod my head. “OK, but I can’t right now. I have to work.”

“Fine, but you will when you get done. I’ll be here to pick you up and you’ll tell me everything.” His breath whispers across my skin causing goosebumps to break out on my arms.

“I promise,” and it’s a promise I plan on keeping. I can’t keep going like this or I’ll work myself into an early grave.

Rooster pushes off the wall and I want to grab him and pull him against me. Feel the heat of his body flush against mine. His hardness is between my legs, taking what he wants. What we both want.

“Fuck it.” Rooster growls under his breath. He turns back toward me so fast, I don’t have time to react. He captures theback of my head with one hand and tugs my body against his with the other. His lips land on mine, taking what I’m offering. I part my lips lost in the moment I can taste him again on my tongue. A moan rips from my throat and his hand yanks my hair back tipping my face toward his. He grabs my ass, lifting me. My back hits the wall and my legs wrap around his waist. His hardness nestles between my legs begging to be let inside my body. He kisses me so hard, that I forget where we are or who’s around. I grip the back of his neck pulling his head closer.

“Rooster,” I moan. He licks and nibbles his way down my throat, staring at the valley between my heaving breasts. He grips my ass, digging his fingers in causing my pussy to press against the bulge in his jeans. “Fuck, Rooster,” I whisper, holding his head against my heaving breasts. I need relief from the inferno he’s created between my legs. With my back against the wall, he releases my hair and quickly unbuttons my shorts. His big hand dives into my panties and slides along my wet folds.

“Damn. So wet for me already,” Rooster whispers against my heated skin. His thumb brushes against me and I’m ready to explode. The feel of his hardness against my core, his breath on my skin, the coldness of the concrete wall against my back and his fingers playing me like a fine-tuned instrument, I’m going to detonate any moment.

“Shit,” I moan and lean my back against the wall. Rooster’s hand travels further down and his big fingers enter me. I moan and move my hips to the rhythm of his fingers. Rooster sucks on my exposed neck and I explode. My body trembles, spasming through an orgasm I can’t stop.

“Let it go,” Rooster kisses me again. Strange noises escape my throat and he swallows them up until I’m breathless and putty in his hands. Once I come back down from that powerful orgasm, Rooster releases me from his strong grip and holds onto me until I’m steady on my feet. I button my shorts back up andtake a deep breath. “That’s why they call me Rooster. I’m the biggest cock in the hen house and if you’re honest with me, I’ll take you places you’ve never been before.”

A cold reality washes over me from the conversation I overheard earlier today. I straighten my spine and brush his hands off me.

I look him square in his dark eyes and ask something I’m afraid of knowing the answer to, “If we do this, are you going to be messing around with other women?”

“Where is this coming from?” His brows scrunch together, confused. “I’ve never cheated on a woman I was involved with and I never will.”

“You just said you’re the biggest cock in the hen house. I need to know, if I trust you and tell you what’s going on and we decided to do this,” I motion between the two of us, “whatever this is, I need to know your rooster won’t be sinking into other hens.”

“If we do decide to become exclusive, then no, my rooster will not seek other hens. There will be women crying all over the place.” A smirk appears on his handsome face.

“You’re such an ass. I have to get to work before Kayne comes looking for me.” I swat his chest with a smile on my face.

Rooster grabs my hand and pulls me against him, “I’ll be here when you get out.”

“OK,” I stare into his eyes and make up my mind that he will know everything tonight. The fear I’ve felt for the last few months drifts away. My shoulders aren’t weighed down with the stress from this secret and there’s an extra bounce in my step.

“Now get out there before Kanye comes looking for you. I’ll wait a few minutes to give you some space.” He adjusts his raging hard-on with a look directed at me that makes my pantie soaked again.
