The Biker's Fate Chapter 54

Payton

"And you bla Booker for that?"

"Fuck, no. I hated my dad, but as a kid, I didn’t know just how much of a bastard he was. He used to smack my mom around and too, ’til I got big enough to defend myself, but I still didn’t know the depths of evil in him. Booker nailed him to the wall. I was thankful for it."

"So, why the tension?"

"The issue ca when Annie got pregnant by so douchebag in high school and had an abortion that went bad. Booker thought I’d knocked her up, so he’s hated for years. We’re cool now, but can’t say we’re gonna share our feelings anyti soon."

I smiled. "No, that’ll probably take so ti."

"Where am I parking?"

I looked out the windshield to see we were almost at our destination. "I have Macey’s code, so we can park in her extra space."

He nodded and guided the truck into the underground parking structure and I directed him to the space. I pulled out my phone. "I just have to check with Macey and make sure she’s comfortable with you coming up."

"I don’t bite."

"No, I know. It’s not that." I wasn’t sure what to say at this point. It’s not as though Macey’s life was a secret, but I also didn’t want to drag her shit out onto the street so to speak.

He sighed. "It’s fine, babe. I’m a lot to take."

"She was raped."

"Fuck," he rasped.

I grimaced. "It’s been almost three years since it happened and for the most part, it’s done, but she gets nervous around n she doesn’t know and it’s why we rally around her when Dallas is gone. Usually Bailey or I stay with her so she doesn’t have to be alone. The guy broke into her old apartnt, so she doesn’t always feel safe when she’s by herself."

"Understandable."

I nodded.

"I don’t have to co up, Payton. I can wait in the lobby, or here in the truck. Whatever she feels comfortable with. I can even hang at Booker’s place until you’re ready."

"Thank you. I’ll see how she feels and go from there." I texted Macey to let her know what was happening and she responded imdiately. "She said that Dani and Booker are already there, so she’s fine with you coming up."

"It’s a party, apparently."

I giggled. "I wouldn’t be surprised if Bailey and Brock are also there already. I’m usually late, so Brock said he’d take Bailey." I checked my phone. "I’m only twenty-two minutes late tonight, and I probably would have been on ti if a certain badass biker dude didn’t delay ."

Alex laughed. "Next ti I’ll make the wait a little more enjoyable."

"Good lord, the thought of you ever making anything more enjoyable might kill ."

Having released his seatbelt, he leaned forward and kissed . I was still locked in, but not for long. Still holding my lips hostage, he freed from my belt and pulled onto his lap. I slipped my fingers into his hair and slid my tongue into his mouth, deepening the kiss.

Alex held close, but I couldn’t get close enough and groaned in frustration as I cupped his face.

"Baby," he said between kisses, "I’m not fuckin’ you in the truck in a parking garage. You need to quit with those noises."

I leaned back and frowned. "What noises?"

Alex cocked his head. "You don’t know?"

"I groaned because I was frustrated... obviously not helping the situation," I said.

"No, babe, before that. Never mind."

"What?" I said and gripped his shoulders. "Tell ."

He chuckled. "I just thought you were gonna co."

I slapped his arm. "I do not sound like I’m going to co when I’m kissing soone, Hawk. That’s disgusting."

He cupped my bottom and gave it a gentle squeeze. "You do when you’re kissin’ ."

"I do not." My face flad. "Let go."

"No."

"Hawk," I warned, and tried to shift off his lap.

"Payton, settle," he said. "Don’t be embarrassed baby. Nothin’ about what we’re doin’ should embarrass you.

"You just said I sound like I’m having an orgasm while I’m kissing soone. Now I’m thinking back to all of the other n I’ve kissed and wondered how many tis I’ve done that without knowing."

Alex’s body stiffened. "How many guys have you kissed?"

"Several."

"Fuck , Payton."

"Well, you asked! I’ve kissed a lot of guys, Hawk. But I’ve only slept with two. And they were two n I loved very much once upon a ti, and with whom I’m still friends. Neither of them ntioned noises when I kissed them... I barely made noises when we had sex, so I’m sorry if this is taking a bit by surprise."

He looked at like I was an alien. "You didn’t make noise when you ca? Ever?"

I pushed at his shoulders again. "I’m not having this conversation with you."

"Babe, tell ."

"No. I don’t kiss and tell, Hawk. I like to keep my past my past."

"Payton?"

"What?"

"Did they make you co?"

I gasped. "What? That’s none of your business."

He frowned. "They didn’t make you co."

"I’m not taking the bait, Hawk. It’s none of your business."

"Okay, baby, we’ll leave it there for now."

"Forever," I said.

"For now." He patted my bottom. "How do I get Alex back?"

"Stop being such a jerk." My phone buzzed but I ignored it.

"Okay, baby." He smiled, and honestly I had no idea why he was so smug. "I’ll stop being a jerk."

"What are you up to?" I asked, narrowing my eyes at him.

He laughed. "God, you’re gorgeous, Payton."

My phone buzzed again. "Stop being sweet and tell what you’re up to."

"I’m not up to anything, babe. Promise." He picked up my phone that was sitting on the seat beside us. "We should get upstairs."

Just to drive ho his point, my phone buzzed again. I snatched it from him and checked my texts, still sitting in his lap, mind you. I liked sitting here. Gah! I was insane.

"Let’s go," I said, still looking at my phone, but he held firm. "What?"

"Hey," he whispered. "Look at ."

I t his eyes and bit my lip.

"I like everything about you, baby, yeah? Don’t ever feel self-conscious or embarrassed about your responses to . We’re new. We’re figurin’ shit out." He stroked my cheek. "You’re beautiful, Payton."

I sighed. "And you’re back to being sweet."

Alex chuckled. "Co here."

He drew my head down for another delicious kiss, but this ti I made sure I didn’t make any noise whatsoever.

"Don’t like that, baby," he said, and broke the kiss.

I scowled. "Now I’m not kissing right?"

"Your kissin’s fine, baby. It’s you all locked up and stiff."

"You could tell?"

"Yeah, Payton I could tell." He smiled. "I want you to let go. Just let it happen, yeah?"

"I’ll think about it. But right now, we have to get upstairs." I scooted off his lap and was relieved when he let .
