Her Ride Page 16

  Damn. I wish I had been there. I would’ve made sure you weren’t on the bathroom floor.

  I rolled my eyes at him. Where the hell was this sweet streak coming from? I hit reply.

  Well, if I was on the floor and you were here, it would’ve been for more fun things.

  Always thinking naughty.

  Only when you are involved.

  Tease. Don’t get me all turned on when I can’t do anything about it.

  Giggling, I raced into the bathroom and snapped a picture of my breasts to send him. Before I could even get out of the bathroom, he was responding to the pictures.

  Oh, you are getting spanked for that. Then I’m fucking you over and over again till you scream for me to stop.

  You started it.

  How’d I start it? I was just checking to make sure you were okay.

  You shouldn’t be so fucking hot and I wouldn’t want to bone you all the time.

  I’ll try to stop then.

  Maybe *I* need to spank you.

  I’d like to see you try.

  The next week flew by quickly. When I wasn’t in the living room hanging out and bullshitting with the guys or working out, I was flirting and texting with Ellis. It was nothing compared to when he was there in front of me, but it was freeing to be able to not worry about someone over hearing us or thinking we were being silly or stupid. It was just us being us.

  The day before Ellis was expected back, I was running on the treadmill. I was trying to get the time it took me to run a mile down, but failing yet again. It’d been slowly getting slower and slower, I felt like I was getting more and more out of shape no matter how much I tried to run. The damn machine turned off and I huffed in frustration before stepping off. Following the cord down the wall to where it was plugged in, I found the plug laying on the ground. I stood up and spun around looking for who had unplugged it. Pulling my head phones out, my heart was pounding in my chest. Who was fucking with me? Was it one of the guys or was it someone else? When I saw Ellis stand from his crouched position behind some unused equipment, I threw my phone and headphones at him.

  “What? It was funny!” His green eyes were sparkling as a huge smile split his lips. He tried to pull me into his arms, but I slapped at his chest.

  “That was totally not funny. It scared me.” I tried to pull back, but his strong arms easily held my smaller body to his.

  “I’m sorry, baby.” Ellis tipped my chin up with his finger as he gazed into my eyes. “I just wanted to surprise you. I thought it’d be funny. I didn’t mean to scare you, I swear.”

  “I know. I know. I guess since I’m getting ready to leave I’m more jumpy and excitable. I’m ready to get out of here.” I snuggled my face into the crook of his neck and breathed his relaxing scent deep into my lungs as I felt my muscles relaxing just from his presence.

  “Well, I guess it is good then that I’m ready to do this right now, if you are.” Ellis kissed my forehead before pressing his cheek to the top of my head, his hands linked behind my back.

  “Now? Like right now? You don’t have a million things to do since you just got back?” I jerked back to look at his face. He shook his head and smiled.

  “I knew you wanted to leave so I already took care of everything. I even have clothes in my bag already.”

  “Let’s go!” I pressed my lips firmly to his. Then I whispered in his ear, “The sooner we leave, the sooner we can get to a hotel and it won’t matter how crazy we get.”

  “Well, then let me just run you out to the bike now.” Ellis scooped me up, which made me laugh loudly and slap the back of his head playfully.

  “Put me down you oaf! I need to say goodbye to my brother at least.” I shook my head at his over flowing excitement. It was contagious. It took me a few minutes as I debated on whether to go get my bag first or to say goodbye first. I decided to get my bag ready cause as much as I was ready to leave, it would still be hard to leave Patrick. Ellis dogged my steps up the stairs and then helped me pack my bag, which was already mostly packed except for my necessities. Quickly, I pulled on a pair of comfortable jeans with a tank and braided my hair for the ride. I gave him my bag and asked him to get my bike ready while I went to say goodbye to Patrick.

  I found him working in his office. His head was down as he flipped through a stack of papers. You would never know by the meticulous movements he was making and the intelligence in his eyes that he had barely passed high school or that he used to turn wrenches almost as much as he got in fights. He’d had a drinking problem for a few years but got himself straightened out. The guy had been through a lot in his short life, and here he was working in an office. If you put him in a suit and covered his tattoos, he’d fit right in with all the other white collared working class. Instead, he let his personality shine through on his skin and controlled a group of rowdy men. I was a proud little sister seeing all that he had built and accomplished. I promised myself that no matter what happened when I was in DC, I would find a way to make Patrick proud of me too.

  “What are you staring at?” Patrick looked up when he felt my presence. I shrugged and walked into the room. I sat heavily into one of the chairs facing his desk. He looked at my face for a moment then took a deep breath, leaning back in his chair. "So, it’s time. Dirty said he was going to try to make it back early.”

  “Yeah, we are going to get on the road now. There is no reason to keep putting it off.” I tried to keep my voice strong. I didn’t want to cry in front of him. He stood from his desk and walked around it, pulling me up and into a tight hug.

  “You take care of yourself while you are out there, okay? I’m going to miss you and you better keep in touch with me when you get there.” Patrick pulled back and I looked up at him. “Do you understand? I’ll fly out there and hunt you down if you don’t answer my calls.”

  “I know. I will. You take care of all this and yourself too. You’ve really done good for yourself, big brother.” I sniffled and he pulled my head to his chest again, a bit too hard, but I didn’t care. After a moment, I pulled back and forced a smile to my face. “I need to go.”

  Patrick nodded and let me go as I stepped back to the door. I kissed my fingers and blew him a kiss before turning and walking as quickly as I could away from his office. When I got to the garage, Ellis was waiting beside our bikes. I grabbed my bag and put it on my back, slammed the helmet onto my head and climbed on my bike before he could even say a word.

  “Let’s go, Ellis. I’m not waiting, so either hurry up or you can catch up later,” I said as I clipped the helmet on under my chin and started my bike. I could see questions in his eyes, but I didn’t give him time to ask them. I wanted to get on the road before I started crying.

  Ellis didn’t miss a beat and before I could pull out of the driveway, he was right next to me. That was how we spent many hours. Ellis on my side, the wind in my hair, the bike roaring between my thighs, my mind and body relaxed. This was exactly why I wanted to ride to DC instead of a stressful plane ride. Ellis had made the plans for this trip, so even though I said I would’ve left without him, I couldn’t because I wasn’t exactly sure where we were going.

  We stopped to get food just as the sun was setting. We had decided when planning the trip that we would ride until one of us wanted a break or there was a place we wanted to visit. We had three weeks to make a trip that should have only taken a few days, if that. So there was absolutely no need to rush, which was nice. After taking our time to eat our dinner together at the fast food joint we’d stopped at, Ellis told me we had another two hours to drive before we’d be at the first place he had wanted to spend the night at. We got on our bikes and continued on our way.

  I didn’t expect to pull up to a place like the one we parked in front of. It was a quaint little bed and breakfast nestled into a tiny town right off the interstate. I’m sure we looked a little rugged after an afternoon like the one we’d had, but the mature lady behind the counter was friendlier than most people ever were. S
he showed us to our room after showing us where breakfast would be served unless we requested to have it brought up to our room.

  Once the door was closed and locked behind us, I turned to him and gave him an open mouthed expression. “YOU booked this place? I swear I feel like I’m in an alternate universe right now.”

  “Why? It has really great reviews.” Ellis shrugged with his hands out.

  “Reviews? When have you cared about reviews?” I laughed. That got a sheepish grin from Ellis.

  “I wanted this trip to be as amazing as you wanted it to be, so I researched the best places to stay along the way. Places worth stopping at. You know, all that stuff.” I swear his cheeks turned pink and I nearly stopped breathing. An embarrassed Ellis was quite the sight. Nobody had ever done anything like that for me. Let alone the guy who normally was more willing to break your face than Google romantic hotels.

  “Now that just might have earned you a ride you’ll never forget.” I wrapped my hands around his neck and leaned back to look up at him. "You know, I almost don’t know what to do with all this romance and sweet stuff you are throwing at me.”

  “It’s kind of sickening, isn’t it?” He laughed as he wrapped his arms around my lower back. “My brain just does weird shit when it comes to you.”

  “I can relate. My pussy does crazy things when you are around.” I laughed, but he didn’t.

  “I’m not kidding, Ryan.” Ellis didn’t give me the chance to respond before his lips smashed into mine.

  Turns out little bed and breakfasts put a huge damper on all the hot and steamy thoughts. Just as Ellis’ pulled me closer to press his hard erection into me, there was a knock on the door. It was the little lady that had shown us to our room, making sure that we had settled in okay. She also wanted to let us know they were serving tea and coffee with some after dinner treats in the dining room. Now if that wasn’t the least sexy thing I’d ever heard, I don’t know what would've been.

  The pain in my chest came on while I was in the bathroom changing for bed. It felt like someone squeezing me super tight, so tight I couldn’t breathe. It was scary and painful at the same time and there was absolutely nothing I could do to make it stop. After a few minutes, the pain subsided and I wiped the sweat from my forehead. Splashing water over my face, I took a few deep breaths and tried to relax. Once I felt like I had myself under control, I returned to the room to find Ellis stretched out on the bed in just a pair of sleep shorts on watching TV. Without uttering a word, I crawled up into the bed and curled up with him. It seemed the whole situation had put a damper on his libido as well as mine. For me, it wasn’t just the environment but the pain in my chest that had been coming more and more often scared me, not to mention all the unwanted feelings for Ellis that were swamping me. Since Jeremiah’s disappearance, we’d grown a lot closer; mostly through text messages, which seemed to be an unguarded way for both of us to share things neither of us probably would have in person. When I’d started the relationship with Ellis, it’d been about the physical comfort and needs I had. However, in the last couple weeks, things had quickly grown to where just his presence made me calmer, his smile made my whole day better.

  This whole thing was supposed to be about finally getting to hook up with my childhood crush; instead it had turned into a giant emotional clusterfuck. The more time I spent with Ellis the more confused I became, the more I didn’t know what to do with myself. I wanted to enjoy everything with Ellis, but I didn’t want to hurt him. No matter what, when I got to DC, we would be over. I told myself that I wasn’t going to lead him on; that I was going to break things off if they started to get too serious, but it was easier to think it than say it to him. Every time I saw him, it made me happy and I knew it would hurt to end it. I knew for certain that it would hurt me, not that I mattered. I didn’t want to be the one to cause him pain.

  No matter what I tried think about while the two of us laid there next to each other, I couldn’t clear my racing thoughts. I was afraid I’d end up ruining the whole trip because of my wayward thoughts. This was my once in a life time trip. My time to experience new things, instead I was dealing with these crazy emotions that I hadn’t expected. When Ellis’ hand started rubbing my back, like he tended to do when we laid together, it made me look up at his face. He was so handsome and I didn’t know what I did to have a man like him care for me. I wish that I could enjoy it; I wish that I could just lay in his arms and pretend that we’d be together forever. Every time he showed me the tender side of himself in an effort to get me to open up, my heart broke. I tried to let him in little by little, but not enough to break me when it was time to leave. I shook my head trying to clear my thoughts, but it also got Ellis’ attention and he looked down at me. Thinking fast, I asked, “Where are we headed to next, Mr. Planner?”

  “Well, if we can handle a little over nine hours of driving, we’ll be hitting up Carlsbad Caverns. Then if you are up for the challenge, we are going to hike them.” The look on Ellis’ face was like a child’s on Christmas morning as he shared his plans. “It’s gonna be so amazing.”

  “Excited much?” I laughed and slapped his thigh. He laughed and quickly maneuvered us so he was laying on top of me.

  “Hell yeah. I get to experience something I’ve always wanted to do with you. Why wouldn’t I be excited?” Ellis slowly lowered his head till his lips were just above mine, brushing mine when he spoke again. “Unless you don’t want to go.”

  “Of course I want to go.” I wrapped my legs around his waist, lifting my head to plant a hard kiss on his lips. “I can scream and jump into your arms when the bats come out."

  “Oh, I’m liking this line of thinking. I’ll just make sure my cock is out and you can jump right on.” He wiggled his eyebrows as his eyes lit up and he thrust his hips into me for emphasis. I giggled at his playfulness. This was a side of Ellis that no one got to see. I didn’t even get to see it until we became so intimate.

  “What do you say you give it to me nice and easy tonight so we can get on the road early in the morning? I must tell you though, if you booked all our stops at little mom and pop shacks like this, you’re not getting ass anymore from me. I told you I wanted places we could get loud and be free, not places with thinner walls than a crappy apartment with grandma sitting watch.” I slid my hand down between our bodies to cup his thick erection already waiting for attention in his shorts.

  “No worries, baby. I booked much better places for us to stay at. I just thought you would like some romancing first.” Ellis leaned down and dragged his tongue around the outer edge of my ear before growling low and deep as I pushed my hand under the band of his pants. Moving to stand next to the bed, he quickly removed his shorts then grabbed my ankles to pull me down the bed. It took him only moments to pull off all my clothing. He slipped two fingers between my pussy lips as he licked his own lips hungrily, his eyes drinking in my nude body. When he tried to dip down to taste me, I squeezed my thighs together to stop him. His eyes lifted in confusion.

  “Not tonight. I want you in me.” I shook my head softly at him as I pushed up on my elbows to look at him. He lifted one side of his mouth, standing up again. Grabbing both my knees together, he turned my hips to the side, my chest still facing him. I couldn't say I’d ever had sex in that position, but he didn’t give me time to think about it before the head of his cock was pushing slowly into me. One of his hands came down to support his weight on the bed while the other came up to cup the side of my face, his lips meeting mine in a tender kiss. Starting with careful, short thrusts that got longer and deeper, he was eventually seated fully in me. The sensation was unusual because of the angle in an indescribably good way.

  Separating our lips, he looked into my eyes while his hips started a slow, steady slide against my body. It was tortuously slow. Every thrust taking so long to go in then back out. His green eyes stayed locked with mine the entire time, but I craved more. I wanted the hard, deep thrusts I knew he was capable of; the ones that w
ould get both of us off. If I tried to push my hips down and make him move faster, he would stop moving completely for a moment, regaining control before starting again.

  “Damn it! Fuck me! Fill me. Hard. Rough. Whatever.” I hissed in frustration, fighting to stay quiet. My body was so tight and ready, but not getting any of the release it so desired.

  “You poor thing. So needy. What’s the magic word?” Ellis laughed when I glared at him. His insanely slow thrusts never changing speed.

  “Fuck you! That’s the magic word. I’ll play with you next time, see how you like it.” I tried to pull away from him, but his hands came down to hold my hips tightly. One of his hands came down on my ass cheek that was on top, immediately I moaned in response. When I wiggled my hips, asking for another one; a low, deep chuckle was all I got from him.

  “There is my little tigress. I love when you get feisty. It makes me so fucking hard.” Ellis bit down on his lower lip before slamming deep into me. He pulled out fast then pushed hard and fast back into me as well as landing a hard slap on my ass again. “That what you want? Big. Hard. Cock. Deep. In. Your. Pussy?” He emphasized each word with a thrust.

  “God, yes!” I moaned. He started up a hard pounding rhythm, occasionally landing a hard slap to my ass. The sound of skin slapping against skin filled the air. Sweat beaded on his forehead and chest as I watched his body pleasure mine. There wasn’t much I could do but lay there and enjoy the sweet pleasure he was giving me one thrust at a time. His head dropped as he watched his cock slide in and out of me, and just knowing what he was looking at threw me over the edge into a vision blackening orgasm, as my entire body tensed and gripped him.
