Finding Sweetness (Sweet series) (10 page)

AJ’s dick was hard as a brick while watching
Yaz complete the course. It had killed him not to reach out and grab her and haul her sweet ass back to him after she completed the course and left. Shit, she didn’t even turn around to look back at him once she had gotten to the door, and what the hell was she thinking wearing that outfit! All of the other men taking this class had been looking at her to damn close! Two guys had stated that they were going to ask her out on date. He deliberately sent them back inside on a bullshit errand that would take a few minutes for them do just to get there ass of the course to keep him from punching the bastards. Once they came back with the specific kind and color pen he had asked them to find Yaz had been long gone. He even kept them on the course longer than he should have and then for added measure he failed their ass on purpose for picking the same bike Yaz had been on. The assholes both had felt the seat after she had gotten off stating that the seat was still warm from where her ass had been seated and they wondered if her pussy would feel even warmer. It took everything in him not to slam the fucker’s against the concrete and a stomp mud hole in their smug faces. Yea… it was petty as hell yet he didn’t given a damn! These assholse would never get the chance to feel his woman…NEVER! As soon as he cleaned up he was heading for her. He would not lose her, not this time! Damn, thoughts of him fucking her hard from behind while she leaned on his bike rushed through his head. He couldn’t wait to be next her again. He didn’t sleep a damn wink last night. He kept looking out of the living room window hoping to catch a glimpse of her shadow walking around, but he hadn’t. She’d had those blinds shut tight as a frog’s ass and every light in the house had been turned out. He, Channing and Gabe had all kept watch to be truthful. They wanted to make sure that Tia’s crazy ass and her friend didn’t creep back over to attempt to do something to Yaz. Sloan called him and told him that Tia had come into the bar crazed and out her mind, talking loud and spreading his business to everyone in the bar that would listen. She had even managed to sprout up some real tears while stating that she had caught him laid up with some black whore. Then Sloan dropped the bomb and said that his father as well as some of the other brotherhood member’s had been there as well and that he had let a series of curse words and beer bottles fly that had half the people in the bar scattering for cover. AJ had expected his hear his father’s truck to come barrelling up the driveway shortly after that, however he never showed…interesting. The little story Channing had told him long ago had probably been true. His father was dipping his stick in brown sugar after all. Well, well, well…like father like son. He had always known that his father cheated on his mother. Hell she probably knew it. For the life of him he would never understand why his mother stayed. Now he wondered what punishment his father intended to exact on him for Tia running that damned mouth of hers!

Yaz was in the kitchen making lunch when the doorbell rang she closed her eyes for a
split second praying it wasn’t AJ or his crazy ass baby mama. She looked through the peep hole to find a finger covering it up. Great more games she supposed. Who is she said in an annoyed tone. It’s AJ, we need to talk.  Cracking the door she said Oh I don’t think so, yesterday was enough talking for me. Go find your pregnant girlfriend I’m sure she would love to talk! She closed and locked the door, no soon as she turned to walk away; she heard the jiggling of keys then watched as her door was unlocked and opened. AJ leaned against the door jamb and held out a bottle of apple juice, the piece offering warmed her for a second and she almost smiled but she quickly nixed that. Why are here? She wouldn’t ask him about why he thought he could just walk into her cabin without her permission. He probably had keys to every cabin here. She had already considered leaving and going to stay at a hotel. That thought was looking even brighter now. I bought a peace offering. Yea, well keep it I have plenty in the fridge. She walked to him and tried to motion for him leave, when he didn’t move an inch she reached out twisted his nipple and shoved him out of the door still he held his ground and his hand out stopping the door from closing. Ouch! Damnit Yaz…rubbing his nipple with one hand. I’m trying to apologize here. I’m sorry about what happened yesterday. It was no excuse. I swear I never meant to bring any trouble to your doorstep I’m sorry I hurt you. He sat the bottle down and removed his hand. I would like a chance to get to know you. I feel like every time we look at each other there’s some sort of a connection there, and don’t tell me you don’t feel that. He didn’t give her a chance to respond he just turned and walked away. She picked the bottle up and closed the door and went right back to fixing her lunch. She was done with him and all his craziness! She decided to take her lunch to the deck and watch nature go by. She sat her plate down and pulled up a chair. Just as she was about to take a bite sandwich her telephone rang so she rushed in to answer it thinking it could be her mom, dad or her crazy best friends. She had yet to call her girls and tell them what happened. She picked up the phone and said “hello? Hi Ms. Carmichael this is Kelly the receptionist at Sloan’s you dropped your temporary card on the floor. I was going to give it to Alton to give to you but you had already left. Yaz’s breath caught in her throat. Wh…what did you say his name was again? You know instructor Alton Laurenitis. They call him AJ just for short; anyway it’s here at the desk if you’d like to swing by later today or tomorrow. Umm, I can stop by tomorrow to pick it up. Great see you then. Yea…thank you for calling me. Your welcome she said hanging up the phone. She hung the phone up and her legs buckled out from underneath her. Alton? AJ was Alton. Why hadn’t he told her who he really was? He looked so different than when they were in school. It pissed her off that he had led her to believe he was someone else. She held her hands up to her mouth, tears streaming down her face. She had been in his arms, had touched him, kissed him, it had been his mouth on her pussy. Why…why would he keep her in the dark and play games with her like this? OMG! He was about to be a father! She had saved herself for him and now he was about to be a father. Yes she had believed him when he said he hadn’t been with that psycho girl, yet he’d lied about who he was. Why should she believe him about him not having slept with Tia? In all honesty she had expected him to have kids already, but…what had hurt and infuriated her most was that it wasn’t with her.

Alton
was headed out of the front door of Sloan’s motorcycle shop when Kelly stopped him and told him that she had called Ms. Carmichael and told her about dropping her temporary card. “I told her I was going to give it to you to give to her but I thought you had already left. Funny she didn’t know your name was Alton. I thought all you instructors here had to by your real name when teaching classes? I mean we’ve always called you AJ but students here always called you Alton. Alton scrubbed his hands down his face. You gave her my real name? Well yes. Is something wrong? Shit Kelly. I wished you had not done that. I’m so sorry I didn’t know… if you hadn’t wanted anyone to know your name, you should have told me. It’s not your fault don’t worry about it. He turned and walked off. Well the shit had hit the fan big time now. His ass was grass and Yaz would be the lawn mower.

Once
Yaz gathered her nerves enough to calm down She became heated! That lying little shit! He was here in the town that her dad had been raised in all along. She thought back to her dad telling her that she should come here. Had her dad known that Alton was here? Was that really the reason why he pointed her in this direction? She had gone by her aunt’s house and they were gone on a cruise to the Bahamas. She had ended up having lunch with her cousin Jabastian instead. He always kept in touch and came to spend time often at her brother’s house just hanging out and kicking it at the God awful clubs her brother drug him out to. She would deal with her dad later. He knew something and she aimed to find out, but right now she had “instructor AJ aka… Alton Jaxon Laurenitis to deal with. Eight fucking years she had waited for his ass to come back, eight fucking years of loving him, needing him, missing him! Oh, she sure as hell wanted answers and he would give them to her tonight or his ass would be as good as kicked and she swore she wouldn’t look back.

Alton waited until
six that night to attempt to even go back over to Yaz’s cabin. He had watched it for hours trying to see if she would try and leave but all was quite. He was worried about her now. He knew she would have a lot of questions to ask and he would try and answer everyone because she had the right know. Alton walked up to the back door and knocked… no answer. He tried the handle it turned and opened easily. Damn it he was going to teach her how to lock a damn door any crazy person could walk right in and harm her. Yea… he had just walked right on in however he wasn’t crazy… well… maybe a little but only when it came to her wellbeing he would fight for her at all cost.

Alton was almost scared to go back into the house with the look Yaz had given him just a few days earlier while holding a shot gun aimed right at him. He poked his head in and sure enough she was standing there looking like she wanted to kill something preferably him. He actually missed that pissed off look of hers. God love her, he wanted nothing more than to hold her and kiss her again. There was no need to pretend anymore his plan for getting to know her again before he told her who was had been ruined by a co-worker. Sweetness… I was going to tell you... She cut him off with a swipe of her hand. He went silent. She slowly walked up to him, then circled him as he had did her; then as he knew she would and he knew he deserved it, he closed his eyes and braced himself for the blow he knew was coming, but it never came. He opened his eyes and there she stood with her hands covering her mouth and tears pouring from her eyes. Her heart still ached for him. He had wanted to go to her and hold her tight, but he knew that she would not allow him to do that right now, so he stood still and waited for her to speak. She had meant to go off on him then kick him out but all she could do was stare at him. This was the man she had loved for so long standing right in front of her, and even though she was mad as hell at him, all she wanted to do was wrap her arms around him again to make sure that it was really him, and that he was really okay. Wiping the tears away she whispered “How… how have you been? Do you know, how many night’s I… chocking up she repeated … I stayed up thinking about you, wondering if you were okay. I waited on letters that never came, phone calls that I never received, her voice was still a whisper; did you ever think about me? What it did to me that you never came back for me…for us damn you! He took a step towards her but she jerked backwards away from him. Yaz please I… I couldn’t, it was too dangerous for me to try and contact you, please try and understand that sweetness. Oh no don’t you dare call me your sweetness!!! You lost that right when you left me she screamed! Tell me Alton besides the psycho chick aka…baby momma how many other women have you slept with? Have you slept with any black women or were they all white? Alton stared at her blankly then looked away. Tell me damn you! Enough was all he could say not wanting to hurt her even more. Oh so it was just me you couldn’t sleep with huh? He turned and looked back at her. Her cheeks were wet with her tears. He had slept with lots of women thinking that they would wipe the memory of Yaz away but it hadn’t. He’d always wanted the one girl he knew he could never have. With her head down voice low she said; “I’m still a virgin Alton, it rang in his ears loud and clear. He wanted to beat his chest, and though it made him a crass bastard; he was grinning inside like Chester Cheetah and was ecstatic as hell that no other man had, had the pleasure of touching her, tasting her, holding her, feeling the warmth of being inside her, releasing their seed within her. Damn was he was glad he had turned his head because if she had seen the smile that was presently on his face right now, sure as shit she would have smack the shit out him right then. Dropping the devious little smile he turned to her and said; you shouldn’t have saved yourself on my account. I wasn’t worth it. Did you enjoy making love to them? His head jerked up. I fucked them; I never made love to them, nor did I make them any promises of being with them afterwards. Yes he knew his words were harsh but he wanted her understand. Yaz, I never told you this and I cannot believe I’m getting ready to tell you this now. He inhaled and let the nasty words fly. I have been fucking, licking, fisting, spanking and punishing women “by their choice of course “in BDSM clubs since I was twelve. While the brotherhood was out doing their dirt me along with the same boys you saw me hang with at school were busy keeping some of their wives and mistresses content until they came back.  A thirty year old woman turned me out my first time. Yaz hand went to her mouth. My father was part owner in an underground BDSM club In Nashville. Yaz I am a dominant now. Do you know what that is? Removing her hand from her mouth she said…I’m not slow of course I know what that is. My friends have even taken me to a few of those clubs before. What? I may be a virgin but that doesn’t mean I wasn’t curious about some things. Did you let any of them touch you? No! I only watched. He stepped in front of her. Did you like what you saw? She didn’t answer him. The look in her eyes said it all. That’s why I couldn’t make love to you that last night we were together all those years ago Yaz. I didn’t want to hurt you. There was no way I could have taken you gently. Just looking at you did things to my mind and body that I couldn’t explain. So you see this is one reason that I couldn’t come back to you. I have deep dark desires Yaz and sometimes I lose control. I don’t and didn’t want to lose control with you. I could never forgive myself if I hurt you. Second I could not allow my father to hurt you either. Out of the corner of his eye across the way his cabin lights flickered, and then he saw his father’s duelled out f350 truck pull up in the driveway. Damn why did he have to pick tonight to show the fuck up! Tia’s ass must have told him more lies. He turned around to see the hurt blank stare in Yaz’s eyes. He looked back towards the window. She turned and headed to the front door. Yaz wait… please baby, let me explain. She spun around shoved him backwards. I can still remember the look on your face when your father is somewhere near and let me guess he’s next door. Huh… you had that planned didn’t you; to just watch me? She opened the door and quietly said go. God forbid if she yelled then his father would surely hear her then. More tears poured from her eyes but she held her head up high like the strong woman he had always knew she would be. He stepped outside the door and stopped it before she could close it. I will be back for you Yazmine Danielle Carmichael tonight! You can have every door and window locked and I swear to you I will get in. I know I do not deserve a second chance to be with you, but I swear to you that I thought of you every damn day. He pulled his wallet out and handed her the one picture that her brother had given him before he had left. It was of her standing at his locker in school waiting for him to show up; however he never did because that was the day he was leaving and he couldn’t face her. He had seen her brother in the store and had he given him the picture to remember her by. Looking at her he cupped her chin tilting it up enough so that she was looking at him. He wiped her tears away “I loved you then and even more so now if you run I will follow you to the ends of the earth know that. I am done with this sham of a life I have been living, you are my future and if I have to spend the rest of my life making it up to you I will. One eyebrow went up and her hands went to her hips what makes you so sure I will be willing to give you a second chance Alton Jaxon Laurenitis. Now it was his turn to stiffen. He hadn’t heard his entire name called out in years. Yep this was his Yaz alright. He smiled that devilish grin he use to give her when they were in high school, because I’m older than you sweetness. She rolled her eyes, still mad at him he grabbed her and kissed her long and hard, then jogged down her stairs that wrapped around the back of her cabin, then cut across the grass up to the back porch of his cabin. He looked back to make sure she had went inside; she had. Damn this was not how he wanted this night to go. Never the less he welcomed the challenge making her his once and for all. She was a military man’s daughter and he had no doubt that she would put up a good fight. He would allow her to come to grips with today’s events; he had to admit that it had been a hell of a few days but be that as it may he would have the woman the
loved by the end of tonight! His head was still reeling that she had stayed a virgin all this time. His heart broke even more because she had waited for him, while he had fucked any woman of his choosing whenever he got an itch for one.
