Her Ride Page 12

  “I’m breaking.” I told him as I tossed the triangle at him. I chalked up my cue and hit the cue ball dead on. I sank six balls from the break. Hey, what can I say, I've been playing the game since I was ten. “Solids.” I said before leaning all the way over the table, looking at Ellis as I did it. I’d already sank four of the solid colored balls so I had three left, which I quickly sank. I stood and looked at the table contemplating on how I was going to go at the final ball. Ellis stood with his hands on the edge of the table opposite from me. I could see all his muscles bulging in his arms while his eyes burned holes in me. I called the corner pocket and knocked the ball in before smiling at Ellis. “I win.”

  “That wasn’t even a game. She totally hustled you, Dirty.” Monk shouted from the crowd. I held my middle finger high in the air in the general direction I’d heard his voice come from.

  “I beat him fair and square.” I shrugged and waited for who was next in line.

  “I need to speak to you.” Ellis moved close to me, wrapping one of his hands lightly around my arm. “Alone.”

  “No. I’m playing pool. Pretty sure that’s obvious. Are you upset I beat you, Dirty?” I looked up at him with a twinkle in my eye. I knew I was driving him crazy, but I wasn’t going to let him off that easy. There were too many eyes watching right now. He should have known that. I leaned closer and in a quieter tone said, “There are too many people around anyway.”

  “You know I’m gonna make you pay for making me this hard in a room full of these guys, right?” Ellis groaned and pressed against me so I could feel his erection behind the zipper of his jeans. “Maybe I’ll spank you like you just shared with the whole room. See if it is true or just another tease.”

  “Mmm.” I moaned into his ear before stepping back slightly to put some room between our bodies. “I think you’d be surprised at how much I enjoy it. I think it’d be fantastic if you bent me over your knee and made my ass nice and red."

  Ellis gritted his teeth as he stared into my eyes. Letting his hand drop from my arm, he stomped back to the pussy platoon lounging all over my brother; they eagerly welcomed him back into their swarm. I had to turn away before I gagged at the skanks and their blatant sluttiness. Going back to my game of pool, I tuned out the scene behind me. After playing a few more games, I was tired and wanted a break so I handed off my stick to someone else before sitting back in my chair that Brew had kept empty for me.

  “Is it late enough to drink a beer?” I looked around for a clock on the wall.

  “Sure. It’s afternoon. I think it’s like three or four.” Brew shrugged. It always amazed me that no one ever really kept track of time unless they had somewhere specific to be. Otherwise, it was spend all day just doing whatever until you felt like leaving. I nodded before heading towards the kitchen to grab a beer and a make a sandwich if I could find lunch meat and bread. I wasn’t particularly hungry, but I hadn't eaten since breakfast with Ellis back at the hotel, which hadn’t been a whole lot because he’d been walking around in just a towel, distracting me.

  After popping the top off a bottle of beer and taking a long deep swallow from it, I set it on the counter along with the sliced cheese I found. I was digging in the drawer trying to find lunch meat when I felt someone come up behind me. I jumped when hands touched my back and I spun around while standing at the same time.

  “What are you doing in here?” I asked Ellis as he backed me into the corner with his hands on my hips.

  “I came to get something to eat.” The easy words didn’t match the fierce look in his eyes. Roughly pressing his hips into mine, he grabbed the back of my neck. "Someone made me VERY hungry.”

  His lips were on mine before I could respond. His other arm wrapped tightly around me, pulling me hard into his body as he thrust against me. As he ravished my lips, the short hairs on his face scrapped against my cheek, making me moan. Even as much as I was enjoying it, I pushed against his chest until he finally stepped back and let me get in a good, deep breathe.

  “Not here.” I said tenderly rubbing my thumb against his lips while biting my own. “Anyone could walk in.”

  Even as I was saying the words, I closed the distance between us and pressed my lips to his. My fingers sank into his short hair. Hearing a door close somewhere in the house, we both jumped apart, breathing hard. I returned to the fridge without a word and I heard my bottle of beer scrape against the counter, which told me Ellis was probably drinking it. Once I finally regained my breath and found lunch meat, I grabbed another beer and closed the door. When I turned, I found Ellis quietly talking to another man I didn't recognize. Keeping my eyes down, I quickly made a sandwich and returned the items to the fridge. I excused myself, returning to the game room to eat. I saw Ellis return to his spot near Patrick a few minutes later. He waved off the girls and watched whatever they had on the TV, looking at me every few minutes.

  After a few hours of keeping up appearances, I slipped out of the room still filled with people. It was well into the night and I was exhausted. During our stay at the hotel, I hadn’t gotten much sleep since Ellis woke me up every few hours with his mouth or hand making sure that I was more than satisfied. I returned the favor, but rarely did it actually get to full blown sex since we were both enjoying learning each other’s bodies. A good night’s sleep in my own room was exactly what I needed.

  When I felt the bed shift and someone slide in bed, I rolled towards the movement. Even in the dark, I could recognize the familiar frame and the amazing scent that greeted me. I snuggled up to Ellis’ bare chest, breathing him in for a minute before sitting up abruptly.

  “What are you doing? Do you want to get caught?” I rubbed my eyes as I woke up. He brushed my hair away from my face, tucking it behind my ear with a soft smile on his face.

  “You are so damn beautiful.”

  “What are you doing in my room?” I asked again, more sternly.

  “I decided I don’t give a fuck if your brother catches us. I watched you leave tonight and knew that I couldn’t come tuck you in without someone noticing. Then when I tried to lay in my own bed, it felt so empty without you in it.” Ellis tried to pull me back down to his chest but I resisted, looking at his face. “I miss you. I want you in my arms so I can snuggle up to you and kiss you.”

  “You realize you sound like a chick, right?” I made a face at him. Did men really say this shit and mean it? Or was he just trying to make me fall in love with him? Was I falling in love with him? No… It was just good sex and companionship between us. He had just gotten used to the sleeping arrangements at the hotel and having pussy right there whenever he wanted it. Not that I minded, but I needed my sleep too. Sure I enjoyed being with him and the way he made me feel, but it was nothing but a passing fancy, right?

  “I don’t give a fuck. I like having you near me. Everyone else can fuck themselves.” Ellis sat up, leaning against the headboard when he realized I wasn't going to lay down until we talked.

  “That’s just the forbidden factor. Once everyone knows about us, it won’t be as exciting.” I sighed. Why was my mind instantly so freaked out about the fact that Ellis kept saying such things? It’d been so amazing when it’d been only us in the hotel, but now back in the house after seeing the display in the game room, I realized that what Ellis and I had could never work. “And it’s just sex. We fuck, we sleep, and we go our own way. I don’t know why you think this is any different than any of the other chicks you’ve been with.”

  “Ryan, stop. I’m not gonna argue with you about how I feel. I want to lay down and go to sleep with you. If you’ll allow me to. I didn’t come in here to fuck you, even though I really want to. I’m too tired right now.” Ellis scrubbed at his eyes with his hand. “Shit, I thought I would get you snuggled up to me, having good dreams. I didn’t realize coming in here would start a fight in the middle of the night. Fuck.”

  “Fine. Let’s go to sleep.” I huffed out and laid back down with my back to him. I didn’t want to admit it, b
ut I did sleep better with him there with me. He curled up behind me, wrapping one of his thick arms around my waist to tuck his hand between my thighs. The weight of his arm around me, the rough brush of his callouses on my thigh, and having his warmth surrounding me was better than any massage. I felt all the tension in my body vanish just before I slipped into a deep sleep only moments later.

  When I woke in the morning, I was once again alone. Had I dreamed that Ellis came into my room? I didn’t think so but there was no evidence of him having been there. Climbing out of bed, I pulled my hair into a messy bun and trudged down the hall to make some coffee. It was still early in the morning so I doubted anyone else was up and around. Once in the kitchen, I set the coffee maker to start brewing and then pulled out stuff from the cabinet to make oatmeal. I wasn’t in the mood to make anyone else breakfast and no one would smell oatmeal. Plus, I could sneak it back to my room.

  “There you are.” Ellis’ voice had me turning as I turned the stove on so the water could boil for my oatmeal. “I got up to shower and you disappeared. You have a tendency to do that. I think your body misses mine so it wakes you up to come find me.”

  “Mmm. Maybe.” I ran my hand over my hair making sure it wasn’t too crazy.

  “You look beautiful even when you just rolled out of bed.” Ellis nailed that I was hoping I didn’t look like too much of a mess. He smiled and walked over to wrap his arms around my waist. “In fact, this might be my favorite look on you. Well, except the one when you are coming, that is by far my favorite one, but that one is only for me.”

  He lifted me onto the counter so he could slip between my thighs as his lips found my neck. I forced a laugh and pushed at his shoulder. “Hey, back up. I was in the middle of something here.”

  “Or is it that you are afraid that someone might catch us?” Ellis stood firm, not letting me slide off the counter. His eyes burned into mine. “Why are you so afraid of them finding out? Is it me? You don’t want everyone to know you are with me?”

  “No.” I immediately scoffed. “It has nothing to do with you. I don’t know. It just scares me. I guess I like the thought that you are just mine and no one knows.” I knew what it was. I was afraid of getting hurt or hurting him. I cupped his face and brushed my lips against his. “Let’s just keep it under wraps till DC, okay?”

  “Fine. As long as I can still sneak into your room at night and hold you while you sleep.” Ellis grinned and nipped my bottom lip before helping me slide off the counter. He leaned back on the counter I’d been sitting on as I moved to stir in my oatmeal into the now boiling water. “So, what are your plans for the weekend?”

  “Hmm… Nothing, why?” I glanced at him as I continued to stir the soupy mixture.

  “I think a couple of the guys are going out to a bar. You wanna go with? Get lost in the crowd for a while.” The mischievous look on his face made me laugh.

  “Sure. Fine. If you want to go.” I shook my head and poured the oatmeal into a bowl before throwing the pan into the sink. “But only if you tell me what that face was about."

  “What face? What is going on? Why on earth are you both up so early anyway?” Patrick grumbled walking right into our conversation. He poured himself a cup of coffee and turned to face us with an expectant look. He had a pair of plaid sleep pants on that were hanging onto his hips. If I hadn’t seen Ellis shirtless, I might say that Patrick had the most defined torso, but he was also my brother and I didn’t think of him and Ellis the same way.

  “I told him he made a funny face when I kicked his ass at pool last night. He shouldn’t have been surprised so I asked why he made a face.” I made that up on the fly and lifted a shoulder at the raised eyebrow Ellis gave me. I wanted to slap my own back, impressed with how fast I’d come up with that.

  “He was just irritated that you were putting your ass in everyone’s face. Seriously, you were acting no better than most of the women that come around here. You should know better. Unless something changed and you want to be a house whore.” Patrick scratched his stomach and took a sip of his coffee while giving me a stern look.

  “Oh, please. I was just having fun. Sometimes women like to be appreciated, you know? Did you see anyone lay a finger on me? Hell no, you didn’t. They know better, but they did think I had a nice ass. Plus, it distracted the men and I made some cash. That's called using your assets to come out ahead. This crowd is always suckers for T&A and luckily I have both nice tits and ass.” I snorted at the disgusted face Patrick made. It was so fun to remind him that I wasn’t the baby sister he still thought I was. "Well, you two get to work. I’m going to shower.”

  Taking my bowl of oatmeal and my cup of coffee, I went back to my room. I sat on my bed and watched TV while eating then took a long shower. Hoping to run into Ellis, I slipped on a pair of tiny pink and black panties with a matching bra then covered it up with a silk robe that stopped a few inches above my knee. Picking up my bowl and mug, I headed down to the kitchen. It was empty, so I quickly washed my dishes and put them up along with the pan I'd used earlier. Sighing at my failed attempt at being sexy, I headed back to my room to get dressed and figure out what I was going to do with my day.

  I walked in my room, kicked the door shut and pushed the robe off one shoulder as I tugged at the tie with the other hand. Realizing I hadn’t heard the door shut, I turned around to find Ellis standing just inside my room, closing the door quietly.

  “Hi.” The word came out nearly a whisper as my eyes dragged over his jeans, t-shirt and leather cut. My robe floated to the floor, forgotten.

  “I was going to sneak in here for a quick kiss, but that was before I knew you were walking around wearing that.” Ellis quickly closed the distance between us with large steps until his arms were enclosing my waist, fingers digging into my bare ass. “I do believe I owe you a spanking for teasing me last night.”

  “Mmm. Yes, I do believe so.” I moaned, grabbing onto the edges of his leather cut pressing my breasts into his chest. When his hand came down sharply on my ass, my knees felt weak as I felt my pussy dampen my panties.

  “Naughty little girl. You do like getting that beautiful round ass spanked.” Ellis growled as he brought his other hand down on the opposite side of my ass before gently rubbing away the burn. I bit down on my lip to hold back another moan, but I didn't let go of my grip on him. Feeling his hand caress along the line of my panties, I spread my legs for him. His fingers pushed aside the thin fabric to slide between my pussy lips. “Fuck. You are so wet. Oh baby, we are going to have fun tonight… when we have time to really play.”

  I whimpered when he pulled his hand away, denying my need for release. Instead, all I got was a soft kiss on the cheek before he stepped back from me licking his fingers. He ran two of his fingers over his bottom lip while taking me in from head to toe back up to my face. A wicked smile came over his face before he walked out of the room.

  I waited for over an hour, hoping Ellis would return. I gave up after that, so I changed into my work out clothes and headed down to the gym. I tried to run on the treadmill, but I couldn’t keep my normal pace. Even slowing down drastically, I was so breathless that I got off. Moving to work out with the weights instead, I got bored quickly and headed back to my room. What I really wanted was to find Ellis and make him finish what he’d started, but since he was with Patrick, I knew that wasn’t going to happen. After a quick shower, I put on jeans, a tight tank top and my riding boots. Braiding my hair as I walked through my room, I grabbed my phone and keys, stuffing them into my pocket before heading down the hall to go for a bike ride.

  “Where are you going?” Ellis asked as he walked up the stairs. His eyes dragged over my legs slowly while he bit his lip.

  “For a ride. You know, since someone left me all hot…” I trailed off when I realized that Patrick was only a few steps behind him. “I figured I would get out of here for a bit.” I quickly changed my tone. “You know, waste some time.”

  “Okay. Well, we will probably
be gone when you get back. We have some out of town business that we need to attend to,” Patrick stated, luckily having only heard the last part of what I’d said.

  “How long will you be gone?” I couldn’t help but let my gaze drop to the floor, feeling let down, but I wouldn’t let either of them know that.

  “A couple days. Maybe more, maybe less,” Ellis answered. Looking up, I could see the lines at the edge of his eye as he winced at having to share the news.

  “Have fun. Be safe.” I turned and quickly disappeared down the stairs. Once I made it into the garage, I leaned back against the door and took a couple deep breaths. I felt my eyes burn as tears threatened, but I shook my head. I didn't know why I was upset at the sudden change in plans. It wasn’t like Patrick and Ellis didn’t leave at the drop of a dime many times in the past. Maybe it was that I was going to miss Ellis, maybe it was that I had been left hanging that morning; that’s what it had to be. My body was just pissed that it didn’t get to come and now it would be days until that was fulfilled.

  Just as I was reaching up to push the garage button, the door to the house opened. I looked over my shoulder, locking eyes with Ellis. He let the door click shut before stepping in front of me, pressing my back against the wall. Tilting his head, he slid a knee between my legs as his lips met mine in a hungry kiss. I opened my mouth, accepting his tongue. As they slid around each other, he ground his leg against my jean clad pussy. My fingers dug into his back as I tried to pull him closer, but he pulled back from me to press his forehead to mine. Our breaths mingled as we looked into each other's eyes.

  He composed himself and he gave me a soft kiss on the lips. “I’m so fucking sorry. I want nothing more than to spend tonight in your arms, teasing that sweet pussy, but I have to go take care of this. I'll get back as soon as I can. Trust me; this thing will be killing me by then.” He grabbed my hand and pressed it to his bulging erection to emphasize his point. “Baby, be ready when I get back; he is all yours and he’s going to be desperate for you. Hell, he already is.” Cursing under his breath, he took a small step back from me. “Shit, I better go before I fuck you right here.”
