I looked up at him. “Just like that?”
“Sapphire, you’re a stubborn-assed woman. Forcing you to accept us would never work; I had to wait for you to come around.”
“What if it had taken longer?” I asked, needing the answer.
Hayden’s knuckles lightly grazed my cheek, and I leaned into his touch. “Then I’d have waited. There’s a connection between us I’ve never felt with anyone else. I wasn’t about to lose it because you had your head up your ass.”
I laughed at his reply. “Fancy a ride? Ever ridden bitch before?”
Hayden hesitated and shook his head.
“Ashamed to be seen sitting behind me?” I pushed.
“No, go easy on me; it’s my first time riding bitch,” Hayden quipped, and I chuckled.
“Come on, cop, let’s have some fun.”
I swung up onto my Harley, and Hayden mounted behind me. I revved, and several revs came back at me. My sisters peeled out and disappeared into the night, all hooting their approval.
I headed out of town towards the waterfront. The route always calmed me, and I enjoyed the scenery. Hayden had wrapped himself around me, and it felt nice. He didn’t seem bothered that he was riding bitch, enjoying the ride with me.
Finally, after half an hour, I parked up, aware of his wounds.
“I love coming here. There’s something special about this place; I’ve always loved it,” I said as the waves crashed against the beach.
“I prefer this part rather than the more populated end,” Wylde agreed.
“Sometimes we come out here and have a barbecue.”
“That’s illegal,” Hayden teased. “Do I need to get my cuffs out?”
“We use a propane grill,” I replied with a smile. “But I might use the handcuffs on you later.”
“Promises, Saph. I’ll hold you to that,” Hayden replied and swung off the bike. He held out a hand, and I smiled and grabbed it as I climbed off. I could have done it myself, but Hayden’s act was chivalrous.
We walked slowly to the sand, where the waves grew louder. The moon shone in the bright starlit sky, and the night was warm.
Hayden came up behind me and embraced me. “Tell me you’re in this for real, Saph. That you’re not jerking me about.”
“Hayden, I’ve got no idea why you want me. I’m rude, abrupt, bossy, and won’t ever bow to a man,” I said.
“Yeah, you’re rough around the edges. You’re also loyal, kind, dedicated, funny, and many other qualities I admire. But you’ve not answered my question. Are you in this for real?”
“Yes. I don’t know how I’ll feel if something happens and you arrest one of us. We’ll cross that bridge when we come to it. But, Hayden, I want to try; I can’t promise I won’t fuck up. In fact, I can guarantee I will. That’s when you’re going to have to be patient with me,” I replied.
“That’s a promise, Saph,” he said as he tucked me tighter to his chest.
I liked that and leaned against him before I turned in his arms. I cupped his neck and pulled his head down. “Kiss me,” I ordered.
Hayden obeyed, and a thrill ran through me. His lips moulded to mine, and I stood on tiptoes to press against his body. It was as hard as I remembered, and his kiss blew me away. Hayden didn’t hold back, and I felt his cock pressing against me. I hooked one of my legs around his and plastered myself to him.
When the kiss ended, we were both panting, and one of his hands was gripping my ass while I did the same to him. A wolf whistle sounded from somewhere, and we both laughed.
“Let’s walk,” I said.
It was a beautiful night, and made all the better by the man at my side. It might have been classed as sappy, but holding hands with Hayden was a dream come true. Until the nightmare struck.
A vision hit me so hard it took me to my knees. Images flashed into my mind, and I gasped as I planted a hand on the sand to stop me from falling face-first. My body shook as the vision began repeating.
