She nodded. “I didn’t know if there was going to be another woman accusing me of, you know, taking her man?”
He leaned in close. “Are you? Going to take me?”
Brick didn’t know what to expect. If she would push him away or laugh it off. The truth was, he wanted to fuck this woman, and he might as well consider it a Christmas miracle, because the past year he’d been coming to this bar and living at the clubhouse, he’d been wanting to find a woman to settle down.
Rebel, the club’s president, had found it in the owner of this very bar. Some of the guys at the club were not interested in finding one woman. They loved the free pussy that came around these parts. The biker groupies. Not him.
He saw how happy Rebel and his woman were. Like tonight, they were upstairs, playing happy family with their daughter, and that was something he wanted as well, so badly, he could almost taste it.
Brick didn’t know if Cathy was going to be the woman for him, but he knew he didn’t want to lose this chance with her tonight.
“Do you want to be taken?” Cathy asked.
He reached out, tucking some of her hair behind her ear, and leaning in close. Running his thumb across her bottom lip, he saw her little indrawn breath, and then he did what he’d been wanting to do since he saw her walk into the bar. He closed the distance between them and slammed his lips right down on hers. Before he took possession, he heard her slight moan, and he swallowed it down. This was his. The moment his lips touched hers, he lost all thought and sensibility.
Gripping the back of her neck, he pulled her in close and stepped off his chair, so he was as close to her as possible. He heard her soft subtle moan in between kisses.
Breaking the kiss, he stared into her eyes and waited, and then he pushed some of her hair out of the way, allowing it to fall down to her neck.
“I’ve got a room at the back in the clubhouse,” he said. “Or we can go to your place, or this is your chance to leave tonight, but you better not come back.”
He left the decision to her.
Cathy stepped off the chair. “Do you want to show me your room?”
It was the best eight words he’d heard in a long freaking time.
He held out his arm, Cathy slid hers in his, and without another look to the bar, he took her back to his room.
Chapter Two
Cathy had never had a one-night stand. She’d never gone into a stranger’s home or bed. She spent time getting to know them, and after months of dating, things went to the next step.
She’d been with two other men in her life, both of whom she thought were going to be with her forever. Tiffany drove off the first one, threatening to prosecute him for attacking her. Cathy was very confused on the details. In the end, Daniel told her that her family was a bunch of nutcases, and he needed to get away from it all. Cathy knew she should have seen the signs then. Of course she didn’t, so that meant she was with her next partner, Eric, for three years before she learned the truth about him and Tiffany.
With Eric, though, her sister got caught by the whole family. Their dad had gotten sick, and rather than stay out at the restaurant, they went back to her parents’ house, which was where they found a very naked Eric and a very naked Tiffany.
While her parents and family were congratulating Tiffany and Eric, Cathy had been reeling from the fact the guy she’d been dating was now with her sister. She’d left, while everyone wanted to hear the story about how her sister and Eric decided they were right for each other.
Cathy didn’t know what spell her sister had cast, but she wanted no part of it. Since then, which was nearly a year and a half ago, she’d been avoiding everyone. She had excuses to avoid all the events, stating she had to work, or had so many other things going on in her life.
Getting over Eric hadn’t taken too long. It would seem she didn’t love him in the first place. Distance had made her realize just how bad he was for her, and she was not going back.
Pushing that crap to the side, she glanced around Brick’s room. There were no pictures, nothing to tell her about the man who had distracted her tonight. That was good. Cathy was already stepping right out of her comfort zone.
She looked at him, and the truth was, she didn’t have a clue what to do until he finally took a step toward her, putting his hand at her waist. “If you want this to stop, just tell me.”
