Since when have I turned into a teenager?
“Are you asking me out on a date?” Teri asked.
“Or as friends. Either one that works for you.”
He loved her smile. She pushed some hair off her face.
“If you’re not too busy, that is,” he said.
“I’m not too busy. It’s the perfect time. I’ll hand Cole back.” She gave the boy a kiss, and Damon was not usually the jealous type, but when it came to that little kid, he was starting to have a serious issue.
He didn’t want Teri kissing any guy.
“Do you want to come in?”
“Sure.”
Teri held the door open, and he stepped over the threshold. The memory of hearing Teri play with her pussy the previous night assailed him. He wished he’d acted on it. Instead, he’d been a giant asshole and hadn’t done anything about it.
Anna was there.
“I’m going to be heading out for a while,” Teri said. “Do you need me for anything?”
“No, no. I’m good. I’m going to have a romance movie marathon.” Anna offered him a smile as she took Cole.
“I’ll go and get dressed,” Teri said.
She looked stunning in her shorts and thin-strapped top. To him, Teri always looked stunning in everything she wore.
“Teri’s a good woman,” Anna said.
“I know.”
Anna glanced back. “Treat her good. I think she’s going through something right now. She doesn’t seem herself.”
He nodded at her.
She gave him a smile before stepping back, kissing her son.
Teri joined him seconds later, wearing a pair of jeans and a long-sleeved shirt. Pity. He loved her thick, juicy thighs. He adored Teri’s curves. She wasn’t as big as her sister, but he loved her body, and she was never ashamed of it.
He missed her confidence. The way she owned a room.
The woman he saw every single day seemed to be missing something, and he hated it. He wanted to bring her back, to show her she could still have fun.
Teri said goodbye and they left the apartment, heading down toward his parked bike.
“Do you have any idea where you want to go?”
“Not a damn clue, but I just want to enjoy the open road. You good?”
Teri chuckled. “It has been too long since I’ve ridden on the back of a bike.”
Damon flung his leg over, straddling his bike. Teri joined him on the back, wrapping her arms around his waist. For a few seconds, he allowed himself the pleasure of feeling her arms around him.
That was all he needed.
Just Teri.
The way she held him. It was enough to sate the beast of need within him. With each day that passed, he felt a hunger to claim her slowly start to build. It was one he couldn’t deny.
As far as Damon was concerned, Teri wouldn’t be on the back of anyone else’s bike ever again.
She was his.
All his.
Possessive, definitely.
He revved the engine, feeling the hum of his machine as he pulled away from the curb. Damon stuck to the speed limit as they were inside Greater Falls. There was no reason to cause too much trouble before they hit the open road.
The moment they were on the road, that was it. He gunned the engine, kicked up speed, and let the freedom take them.
This was why he loved riding his bike. What he lived for. It was the freedom of not looking back, of not caring, of only seeing the future.
Teri held on to him even tighter, and that was the icing on the cake. Life didn’t get any better than this, until Teri screamed into the night. He smiled, feeling her happiness wash all over him.
They drove for a good thirty minutes until he saw a parking sign up ahead. Pulling in, he brought the bike’s speed down slowly until he stopped.
She climbed off, just as he knew she would. “Fuck me, that was amazing.”
Staring into her eyes, he saw how they sparkled. He hadn’t seen that in a long time.
“I don’t know how you always seem to know what I want, but please, don’t ever stop,” she said, coming to him.
She cupped his face, and Damon froze, glancing down at her lips. They were so close. He wanted to kiss them. To feel them against his own lips, to meet her halfway.
Teri jerked back. “I’m sorry.”
“Why are you sorry?”
“I don’t … that was…”
He climbed off the bike and tried to close the distance between them. Teri jerked back again.
“For fuck’s sake, Teri. I’m not going to hurt you.”
“I, er, I think it’s time to head back.”
“Why?”
“It just is,” she said.
“Because you were going to kiss me?” he asked.
“You don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“I do know what I’m talking about, and so do you. You want me, Teri, but you’re too much of a fucking coward to go after it.”
“You’re wrong,” she said.
“I’m wrong? Then last night why did I hear you playing with your pussy, calling my name? Huh? Did I imagine that? I’d had a few drinks, but I wasn’t drunk. You want to kiss me, and I bet if you really thought about it, you want to fuck me, don’t you? I know I want you, Teri. I want you so fucking badly. Each morning, and every single night, I go to bed with my dick hard thinking about you.”
