~Lincoln~
I sit on my bike a moment after Iâve killed the engine. I stare down at my hands and I can see blood caked under my fingernails. Is this who Iâve become?
Judge Nared is officially on Ryker payroll. I should be happy. Heâs the fucker who presided over my case, who locked me up, and now heâs on our payroll. His potbelly has fifty lash marks on it thanks to me and a whip I found in the room he was held in. Per Thad, he didnât want his marks to be visible. He is a judge, after all.
âYou gonna stay there all night?â
I look over my shoulder and see Sully walking towards to me. Sheâs carrying a pair of heels and what looks to be some clothes in her hands. Her feet are bare and for some reason sheâs wearing a pair of greasy coveralls.
âWere you at the clubhouse today?â I ask, climbing off my bike.
âNope, I got a job.â She smiles, but it doesnât quite make it to her eyes. I suppose sheâs tired of pretending too. âArenât you going to ask where my job is?â
I shrug as we take the stairs up to my apartment. âI suppose itâs some sort of garage. I mean, youâre greasy as shit.â
When we reach the door, I open it and let her go inside first. âItâs at your dadâs garage.â
I close the door, staring down at the doorknob and taking in her answer. Sheâs working with my dad. I honestly donât know how I feel about this. Itâs not that I donât think she can handle the work, but I worry about the trouble it might bring my dad. I canât allow him to involved in any of the Rykersâ business.
âIs that okay?â she questions and I can hear the trepidation in her voice. She wants it to be okay.
âYep.â
âAre you sure?â
I turn to face her and sheâs standing just a few inches from me. I can smell the familiar scent of oil and grease that always accompanies my dadâs garage. Her face has a smudge of grease on her left cheek. Her hair is loose and wavy. She looks stunning.
âI saw your brother today.â she cuts through my thoughts. âHim and Raiden came by your dadâs house.â
âYeah?â
âHe loves you, Lincoln.â she says, quietly, reaching out to touch my chest. âIâm sorry Cal dragged you into all of this.â
âDonât.â I warn her. âDonât blame Cal. I chose this.â
âIâm sorryâ¦â she starts again, but I shake my head and pull her against me.
Her body immediately yields to mine, softening against me as I pull her close. The frenzy I felt before when I fucked her for the first time is still there, rumbling deep inside me, but I quiet it. Sully deserves to be savored.
âI should probably shower.â she murmurs, leaning back to look up at me.
I unzip the coveralls and push them off her shoulders, baring her pink satin bra. âNo, I like this scent on you.â
She slips her arms free and shimmies the material down her waist until she steps free of it.
