High-Sided: An Armed & Dangerous Novel (20 page)

“Ready to get in?” he asked, biting down on my breast.

I moaned and closed my eyes. “Yes.”

Picking me up in his arms, he set me in the hot tub. The water was hot against my skin, intensifying the heat between my legs. Logan climbed in and sat on the opposite end, his gaze raw with need. I hooked my arms around his neck and straddled his waist, teasing him by trapping his arousal between our bodies and sliding his length along my wet center.

Before I could say anything else, Logan’s arms gripped me tight around the waist and he kissed me, pushing his tongue deep inside my mouth.

His cock pulsed between us, and he began rocking into me with increasing pressure. I moaned into his mouth in response. I moved my hips against him to give him a taste of what it would feel like with me riding him. Logan groaned with need and bit my lower lip. His strong grip on my ass held me firmly in place while he thrust against me.

“Stop teasing me,” he growled.

I bit his lip back, sucking it between my teeth. “What is it that you want, Logan? Do you have to ask, or will you just take it?” I lifted my hips and allowed the tip of his cock to graze my opening. By the grip he had on me, I knew I was in for the ride of my life.

Slamming me down over his cock in one thrust, he stopped and held me there, maintaining eye contact. I loved being stretched to the point of pain, and seeing the passion in his eyes. His fingers dug into my hips and he squeezed, holding me still, as he began pounding into me with short, fast thrusts; his breaths coming out quick and shallow. His mouth came down on my breasts, which were teasing him by bouncing in his face.

The water sloshed around us, burning my skin, but it was nothing compared to the heat between my legs. I was so close to losing control …

“Oh fuck. I’m gonna come, baby,” he groaned, his teeth teasing my nipple. His arms wrapped around my body and he pulled me into him as he pushed his hips into mine. My insides tightened and I screamed out my release as his body spasmed and jerked. Milking him to completion, his body trembled beneath me and he rested his forehead to mine.

“I love you so fucking much,” he whispered.

Still connected, I looked into his eyes. “Just don’t forget it.”

“Never.”

“I
can’t believe you’re leaving tomorrow. Feels like you just got here,” I said, frowning at Madison.

The weekend had finally come and I’d barely spent any time with her. Now we were at the nail salon with Angela, getting our pedicures, before she took her first trip through Deals Gap. The room had a strong acrylic smell and it made my head ache. I was past ready to get out of there.

Madison glanced over at me, mirroring my frown. It was strange seeing her without her makeup done and her blonde hair in a ponytail. The only times I ever saw her anymore were when she was dressed up for TV. She looked like our dad, but her mannerisms were so much like our mother.

“I know, sis. But you know how hectic my schedule is. I have all the baseball games to cover this summer and once fall comes, I’ll be busy with football. Besides, you’ve been preoccupied with Logan.” She winked and I rolled my eyes.

“And you’ve been busy with your mystery man.” Madison never liked introducing me to the men she dated because she always picked the bad boys, the ones who were scared of commitment. Her ex-boyfriend might’ve been a famous NHL star, but I wasn’t afraid to call him out. That was why she only brought him around the family once.

She averted her gaze, her smile disappearing. “Actually, he doesn’t know I’m leaving tomorrow.”

I gasped. “What? Why doesn’t he know?”

She shrugged. “I didn’t want to tell him. We’ve had such a good time this week. He’s not like any of the other guys I’ve met. He’s sweet, but still has the bad boy vibe.”

“When are you going to tell him?”

Her phone buzzed and she looked at it. “Looks like tonight. He wants to see me later.”

Angela cleared her throat. “Speaking of men, have you talked to Sean lately?” she asked, glancing at us both. “He seems to be preoccupied these days.”

“I have,” I said. “He’s going on a date tonight.”

Her eyes widened. “A date? He didn’t tell me. Is it with that friend of yours?”

I nodded excitedly. “Yes. They hit it off pretty well the other night.”

“That’s great. Maybe he can bring her over for lunch tomorrow. Do you girls want to come and bring your boyfriends? I thought it’d be nice to have the family together before you leave,” she said, focusing on Madison.

“Sounds good,” Madison answered, “but I don’t know if my date will be there. I guess it all depends on how tonight goes.”

Angela smiled and patted her hand. “I’m sure it’ll be fine. What about you, Kass?”

“Logan and I will be there,” I said.

She clapped her hands together. “Great. I’ll let your father know. He’ll be excited.” Her phone beeped and she gasped. “Looks like I gotta go, girls. I’ll see you both tomorrow.” She hurried to the front desk and paid for our pedicures before rushing out the door.

“Does it not shock you how different she is compared to mom?” Madison asked.

I watched Angela get in her little sports car and drive away. “It does, but obviously dad cares about her, which is all I care about. And she’s a beautiful woman.”

Once our nails were completely dried, we walked outside and got in my car. I could tell she was nervous by the way she fiddled with her fingers. “Nervous about riding, or nervous about your man?”

She snorted. “Both. I’m just hoping once I live through this ride, you’ll stop making fun of me. I don’t want you hanging the fear of riding over my head for the rest of my life.”

I patted her shoulder. “There’s nothing to be afraid of. Logan’s one of the best riders around.” My phone beeped with an incoming text.

Logan: Ready to ride?

Me: Yep. On our way.

Logan: See ya there.

“Logan’s going to meet us at my house, then we’ll head to Deals Gap. Do you need to throw up before we go?” I asked, trying my best to hold back my laugh.

She glared at me. “Ha-ha. I only did that once, and it was before my first live broadcast. I was scared as shit.”

“Trust me, I’d have done the same thing. I can’t imagine being on camera all of the time, with all those people watching me. But hey, you’re a pro now.” That got a smile on her face.

When we got to my house, Logan was already there, waiting on his bike. I couldn’t help but stare at him; he looked sexy as hell in his protective leather racing suit. His lips pulled back in a smile, almost as if he knew what I was thinking.
Cocky bastard.

Madison and I got out of the car and I nodded toward Logan. “Wait out here with him, and I’ll go inside to get you a jacket and helmet.”

“Yay,” she replied unenthusiastically.

I winked at Logan as I walked past and hurried inside to get our gear. It was hot outside, and most people liked to ride their bikes in their shorts and tank tops, but if I had the time to get my gear, I never left home without it. After my one incident, where I wrecked at a slow speed wearing a pair of shorts, the road rash was excruciating. It wasn’t fun having the wounds scrubbed to get the asphalt out. I’d rather look silly in my leather gear than have my skin scraped off the road, and the road off my skin.

Once outside, I handed Madison a leather jacket and she put it on, along with her helmet. I helped her strap it on and smiled. “You’ll have fun, I promise.”

Logan held out his hand. “Just hold on tight.” He helped her on and she held onto him. While he talked to her, I went to my garage and got on my bike. It felt good to sit on it again, almost freeing. I followed Logan out of my driveway, snickering at the way Madison held on for dear life, head smashed to his back. Logan was never reckless in his riding, not even when he was younger, like a lot of cocky riders I knew.

It took an hour to get to Deals Gap and when we arrived, I motioned for Logan to keep going. There were a lot of people congregating at the general store and if we stopped, I had a feeling Madison would lose her nerve.

The roads were curvier than any road I’d ever been on. When I first started riding, people would pass me because I was so slow. But now I could keep up. I knew if I wanted anyone to take me seriously as owner of Bennett Racing, I had to get on their level. When we arrived at the overlook, we pulled off to the side. The view was amazing. There were other riders taking breaks, and a couple who looked happy they made it through.

“Oh my God, that was so scary,” Madison exclaimed, lifting the visor on her helmet. She finally let her vice grip on Logan’s waist loosen and nodded toward the road. “Is that the only way back down?”

Logan patted her knee. “Don’t tell me you’re still scared? I took it easy on you.” He winked at me.

“We can go if you want?” I said to her.

She nodded. “Please, before I lose my nerve. I was almost fine before we got here, but these roads are scary as hell.”

I laughed. “Yes, they are. We’ll stop at the store on the way down.”

Breathing a sigh of relief, she lowered her visor. “Sounds good.”

Even though I couldn’t see Logan’s mouth, I could tell he was smiling by the way his eyes crinkled. He laughed the same way when he’d taken me through Deals Gap for the first time. All the while, I’d held on, screaming.

The ride back down the road went smoother than going up. When we got to the store, there were more people. Miller and Trey were there, talking to an older couple who stood by their Harley. Deals Gap was a prime spot for tourists who liked to ride. I’d met people from all across the country.

We pulled in and I parked beside Miller and Trey. Logan took off his helmet and helped Madison take off hers, before she bolted inside the general store.

“Everything okay?” I asked.

He laughed. “She said she was going to piss on me if I didn’t get her off my bike.”

“Definitely don’t want that.”

“Sup, boss?” Miller called. The older couple said their goodbyes to Trey and hopped on their Harley.

I waved and sat down at one of the empty picnic tables; Logan sat beside me. “Hey. Having fun?”

Chuckling, he sat down across from us and so did Trey. “Trying to.” He pointed at Trey. “This one showed up late. Now we’re waiting on those fuckers to get lost.” He glanced over my shoulder and I turned to look. Mark and Jacob were there with a couple of guys I’d never seen around before. “I don’t like riding anywhere near them.”

Logan peered over at them too. “Don’t blame you. It’ll only be trouble.”

Madison walked out of the general store, carrying several bottles of water. She sat down and passed one to each of us. “Thank you,” I said, chugging mine. Everyone else murmured their thanks as well.

“Looks like it’s now or never,” Trey grumbled, glaring at Mark and Jacob. It didn’t look like they were leaving any time soon.

Miller finished his water and sighed. “Yep. Might as well get going. We’ll see you guys on Monday.” Hopping on their bikes, they took off up the road.

Madison pulled out her phone and typed away before setting it on the table.

I elbowed her side. “You about ready to go? What time are you meeting your friend?”
