“Can someone drop me off at a mental health clinic? I think I spilled a few screws somewhere along the way.”
He chuckles at me. “Kendrick will love you. You’re funny and adorable. I like you already.”
“Grr. I never met his brothers and here you are a mess and he likes you.”
“Oh, bite me. If a strait jacket will get rid of you, sign me up now.”
“Ask for Kendrick. He will help sort things out.”
“Whatever. You just want to see him. If you’re not going to leave, at least shut up.”
“Let me get you back. I’ll have something to eat sent to you before I leave,” Bradan says, interrupting our spat.
“Leave? Bu… but you’re the only person I know. Where’s Kendrick? Can I go hang with him?”
Bradan smiles down at me. “He would love that, but he’s not here. Trust me, you would know if he were. I guess I could ask one of the girls to come sit with you.”
“There are other women here?”
I ask the question, knowing I’d feel a lot better if I’m not the only one. He gives a laugh. Now, my interest is piqued.
“Like any other biker club, we have club bunnies, but who should we get?” he says thoughtfully. “Not the succubus. I think they will react to you as Rock did. They don’t discriminate these days. Maybe one of the fairies or she-wolves will work out.”
“Succubus, fairies, she-wolves. I didn’t even make it to the bar to have a drink. Is this why my father has kept me locked up?”
I palm my forehead as my thoughts race. I’ve stepped into the Twilight Zone. Maybe I tripped and bumped my head when I was running.
“I’m crazy, aren’t I? Maybe I’ve made this all up in my head. The friends online and being chased. The big hot guy who saved me and dropped me out of thin air.”
“You think Kendrick is hot?” Bradan scoffs.
“I mean, he has this thing about him. What do I know? I’ve never dated before. You’d be surprised what becomes attractive when you’re starved for companionship and attention.”
I shut up once I notice I’m rambling. Bradan continues to smile down at me as if he has a secret.
“I’ve summoned an earth fairy. Her name is Blossom. You will like her. Now come, let’s get you settled in.”
I purse my lips and allow my shoulders to sag. My heart begins to ache for Kendrick. I don’t know him, but I miss him.
I walk back to his room and step inside. This time I take it all in. The huge four-poster bed. The large fireplace. There’s a crest above it with a sword and crown engraved into it.
As soon as I inhale, that feeling returns. My blood heats and my heart races. I break out into a sweat.
“Um, is there a bathroom?”
“Yes, right through there. Use any of his things if you’d like. He won’t mind. Ask Blossom for anything you can’t find. She will be here soon.
“I trust Blossom. The others, I don’t know how they will react to knowing who you are to my brother. We definitely want to keep you from the fire fairies.
“Naughty, they can be. And they say I have a temper. Well, I should go.”
I can’t help the surge of jealousy that hits me. I don’t like the idea of other women around Kendrick. His ex in my head is already something I loathe.
“Okay, thank you.”
Bond
Blossom was great. She brought me something to eat and she made me laugh a bit. With her help, I found the sound system in Kendrick’s room.
Now she’s off somewhere trying to find me something to wear. I’ve showered and I’m exhausted. I’ve been trying to hold my lids open, but I don’t know if that’s going to happen for much longer.
Kendrick Lamar’s “Love” begins to play as I move around, taking a closer look at his things. The exhaustion of the evening weighs down on me. I climb on the bed and lie with my head at the foot. His scent is too strong on the pillows.
Still, my body heats and my nipples harden against the towel I’m wrapped in. He should bottle his scent and sell it. Women would go crazy for it.
I frown as jealousy burns in my chest. How is it I want this man to myself so badly and I know nothing about him—other than things of his past?
I close my eyes and writhe against the bed as this feeling of need increases. Taking a breath, I try to calm my racing heart. I begin to sweat and my clit aches.
Without opening my eyes, I open the towel and reach to squeeze my breasts. I’m no stranger to bringing myself pleasure. It’s the one thing that couldn’t be taken from me.
I gasp when something cool touches my skin. Opening my eyes, I come face to face with blazing eyes and a handsome face. He has his lips hovering over mine as we face opposite directions. He’s kneeling at the foot of the bed.
