When light comes through the window, I turn my head and bury myself deeper into the warmth. My first thought is the feeling of soreness from my body. Even though I’m merely lying here, I can feel my muscles tightening.
My second thought is that I haven’t felt ‘safe’ and protected like this in a long time. I rest my head down on Ben’s chest, feeling the steady dip and rise of his breathing and gentle thump of his heartbeat under my cheek.
I think back to last night and all the ways he took me. My body has never been worshipped like he did last night. He made me feel confident. How could I not be, when just looking at my naked body had him losing all control?
I clench my eyes together. I have to go, I think to myself. Nothing good can come of this. I have to work and although it seems that he and his club have their own beef with the Kings, the men from last night, I can’t risk him getting hurt to save me. No, I need to go. I need to get out of here before my heart gets any more involved.
A knock on the door, and someone bellowing “Church” is how Ben wakes up. He instantly jerks awake and gets out of bed, looking for his pants.
I’ve read enough motorcycle romance books to know what church is. As he’s getting dressed, he leans over and kisses me. “Mornin’, princess. Stay here and as soon as church is over, I’ll get you something to eat.”
I reach over the side of the bed and spot his shirt I was wearing last night. I reach for it and then tug it over my head. I need to be clothed, because I know we are about to have a disagreement. Unfortunately, it’s one that I am going to have to win.
I stand up from the bed and even though I have no underwear on or any to put on, I still feel better not standing here naked.
“I’m fine, Ben. I’m going to go. I have to work tonight.” I start pulling on my shorts from the night before.
“You’re not leaving.” He raises up to his full height.
I grab my bra and start to put it on. He’s staring at me and I point to the wall for him to turn around.
He doesn’t turn away. Instead, he takes a step toward me. “I’ve already seen you, princess. You going to hide from me now?”
I take a step back and raise his shirt over my head. I start putting my bra on. “I already explained this to you. I have to keep my job.”
“Fuck that job. You’re not going back there,” he demands.
My mouth drops open and my eyes widen. “What do you mean, I’m not going back there? What do you want me to do? There’s nothing else that pays anywhere close to what I make there. I can’t live without it. No thanks, I’m keeping my job.”
