Oh. My. God. That’s it. I have no smart-ass comment or comeback for that one. He makes me want to believe his words. As much as I seem to be attracted to him and as confident as he is, that can’t and won’t happen. I need to stay as far as I can from him and his club. Thank God, I hear the bus coming.
“That’s my bus. I gotta go.”
“Let me give you a ride.”
“No, thanks.”
He takes my hand as I walk by him. The simple touch sends a shiver all the way from the tips of my fingers to everything north and south of my waist. I hope he doesn’t notice I’m holding my breath.
“Are you scared that you want me, too? There’s no need to be afraid of what you feel, baby doll.”
“Stop calling me that, and I’m not afraid of anything.”
He gives me a smug grin, displaying those perfect, pearly whites.
“If you say so, Raven.”
I pull my hand from his and start moving back toward the bus stop. One last look over my shoulder and I catch him watching me. The stubbornness in me wants to have the last word.
“See ya later, monster dick.”
CHAPTER3
***Gage***
Fuck! Fuck my fucking life. It’s too early to be having these thoughts. Why the fuck did I stop? I should have kept riding. I would be at the clubhouse right now, passed out, and not having indecent thoughts about this chick. Now I’m left here with a hard dick, watching the bus drive away. Sleep. That’s what I need. At least if I’m sleeping, I’m not thinking about her.
I hop on my bike and ride like I’m being chased by hellhounds. When I get to the clubhouse, I see the others who rode with me last night gathered around the bar. I know we had a rough night, but I can’t drink this early. I try to bypass them and head to my room, but E pulls me aside. He wasn’t with us last night, and as my VP, I know he’ll want a briefing.Why does it have to be now?
“Not right now, E.”
“Heard there was a…mishap. Was it at least clean?”
“Of course. Took care of it myself. But like I said, not now.”
“Good. But when? I’m heading to work soon.”
Work. The man’s a fucking doctor. I don’t know why he’s even a member of this club.
“Later. I need to crash for a few hours. We’ll have church. Just let everyone know before you leave. Ten good for you?”
“Should be, but if not, I’ll just drag your ass out of bed when I get off.”
“Thanks a lot.”
He chuckles at the sarcasm, slaps my back, and walks away. He’s my best friend, but sometimes he seriously gets on my nerves.
In my room, I strip down to my boxers and fall face-down on the bed. I close my eyes and I see hers.Raven, Raven, Raven.Her name plays on a constant loop in my head. I groan, flip over, and stare up at the ceiling. What the fuck is wrong with me? I haven’t been this hung up on a chick since high school. I mean, she’s hot, but I’ve seen and fucked a lot of hot girls. It’s got to be the anticipation. It’s been a long time since I had to actually put any kind of time or effort into a woman. Maybe I’m getting soft.
No. Fuck that. I need to calm my ass down and stay away from her for a while. And find someone to work out my frustrations on. It damn sure won’t be Super Head. Bitch has a big fucking mouth. Not Lonnie, either. Shit would just get weird. I’ve done the sister thing before, and it didnotend well. Britney might get the wrong idea if I make it a regular thing. I can’t even think of anyone who’d fit the bill. Fuck, I need some new talent around here. E would probably agree. I noticed he hasn’t been getting a lot of action lately. Or maybe I need to find someone outside of the club.
What the fuck am I thinking? I don’t needonewoman – never have, never will. I must be more tired than I realize.Let’s try this sleep thing again.I close my eyes and instantly there’s a knock on my door.
“Go away!”
“Sorry, Prez. Nita’s here to see you. She says it’s important.”
Fuck! I can’t say no to Aunt Nita. I drag myself out of bed and pull on my jeans before opening the door. Instead of Booker, I meet the steely stare of my aunt.This can’t be good.I take a deep breath and wait for the assault.
