Page 8 of Ace's Ascension

“Ace.” My name floating through Liz’s lips sends a roar of lust to travel through my veins and straight to my aching cock. What is it about this woman? “What are we doing?”

I pull away breaking the trance she’s enraptured me in and shake my head. “We’re having a drink and I’m fixing your car. If I don’t have the parts, I’ll give you arideto wherever you like, for as long as you need it.”

Liz’s breath catches in her throat and her mouth falls open. “Why would you do that? You don’t even know me.”

“Does it matter? I’m not leaving you stranded in the middle of nowhere with no wheels.” I tuck a piece of her hair behind her ear that keeps falling into her face.

“Thank you,” Liz whispers.

I walk away from her and head back to the car Butch is working on. I remove my cut and hang it on a hook against the wall so I don’t get grease all over it. I can feel Liz’s eyes burn into my ass and I smirk. Hook, line and sinker. I’ve cast my line and now it’s time to reel her in. I lean over the hood of the car and get to work timing the distributor. Butch leans over so Liz can’t hear us.

“What are you doing, bro?”

“Fixing this car.”

“That’s not what I mean and you know it.” His eyes cut to Liz and she’s still watching me. I give her a wink and her face turns red. Her blush is beautiful. The first time I saw it when she was ogling me, I knew right away I wanted to keep on making her blush. “Who is she and what’s she doing here?”

“Don’t worry, I have Rooster running her plates, finding out who she is. So far her name’s Liz and she’s from the south. I wasn’t going to leave her stranded on the side of the road.” I mess with the timing chain a little bit more before I straighten up, ending this conversation. I don’t even know where this is going between the two of us. But what I do know, I want to keep her by my side. “Ok, give it a try.”

Butch walks around the car in a huff and turns the key. The motor hesitates before coming to life. The car purrs like a champ and I close the hood, latching it. “We’re good to go with this one.”

Butch pulls the car out of the bay and parks it in the parking lot. The owner will be by to get it later tonight. Tex comes aroundthe corner in the tow truck with Liz’s car. He pulls the flatbed up and backs it into the bay we just cleared. Liz hops off the stool at the counter and walks toward me. Her long legs eat up the path between us. Her blue eyes land on me and a smirk forms on my lips.

She watches me watching her and it’s making me hard with arousal. Liz’s fingers grab the crystal charm hanging around her neck again. I see the look in her eyes the moment she realizes something I’m not going to like. The shutters come down and her walls rise. That won’t do at all.

Tex has Liz’s car off the flatbed and I get to work trying to figure out what’s wrong with it when my phone vibrates in my pocket. I pull it out and see a text from Kayne.

Kayne: Chainz called. Tank had an issue on the way back to PA. We need to get this shit done tonight.

My heart sinks into my toes at the thought of having to leave Liz, but the Club always comes first. I fire off a response.

Me: I’ll be there as soon as I can. Have to make a stop before the clubhouse.

Kayne: Copy that. Make it quick.

Shit. Liz’s car isn’t fixed and I can’t leave her stranded with no ride. I’ll have a prospect bring her my pickup to use while I’m away. It’s the only thing I can think of on the fly. I’d bring her back to the Clubhouse, but I don’t want to scare her off right away.

“Sweet Cheeks, where’s your house?” I ask. Liz is standing right next to me and I about fall on my ass when I turn my head and we’re nose to nose.

“Bridgeton Apartments 24C. Why?”

“Something came up and I need to get you home but I don’t want you to go without a ride.” Liz starts to protest but I put my finger up to her mouth, silencing her. Her ocean-blue eyes widen in surprise before anger flashes across her perfect face. I knew she had a fire inside of her and I’ll be happy to be the one to light the flames. “No arguing. I can’t fix your car right now and I’ll be damned if you need something or need to go somewhere and can't. Now get your Sweet Cheeks on my bike and ready to go.” I fire off a text to one of the prospects, telling him to meet me at her place in an hour. That should be enough time to get there, make sure Liz is alright, and ride back to the Clubhouse.

Liz huffs and turns on her heels. She grabs her purse and keys from the car before stalking outside to my bike. I watch her from the bay doors as she tries to figure out how to strap on her helmet. Butch and Tex come up beside me.

“Bro, I know that look. Fuck me, you’re screwed.” Tex drawls.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” I scowl.

“We’ll follow you to her apartment and wait outside.” Butch doesn’t give me room to argue. “No one rides alone, brother. Not now.” He grabs our cuts and hands them to us. I put mine on and feel at home immediately.

“Fine, but if either of you fuckers say or do anything to scare her off, I’ll have your balls.” I close the garage bay and the three of us head toward our bikes. Liz is watching each of us with nervous energy radiating from her body. I take the helmet from her hands gently and set it on her head before clasping the strap around her chin. My fingers alight with flames as tingles shoot up my arms and straight to my heart. I clear my throat and my palms linger on her shoulders. “Ready?” My voice is husky with need and want.

“Yeah,” Liz whispers.

I mount my bike and stabilize it with my thighs before she climbs on behind me. Her tits are pressed tight against my back and her hands are wrapped tightly around my waist. It feels right with her on my bike riding bitch. I’ve never let anyone ride on that seat and my heart skips a beat at what this means. Have I found the one who’ll accept me for who I am? Only time will tell but right now I have to get her back to her place so I can handle Club business and then see where this is going between us.

I fire up my bike, and the deep loud rumble of my engine roaring to life centers my mind. Liz hangs on to me tighter and moves closer to me which I didn’t think was possible. Butch and Tex do the same and the three of us ride away from the repair shop toward the city.
