Seductive Knight (17 page)

He went back to the bed and found Alex wrapped with the blanket covering her breasts, sitting cross-legged reading the driver training book. She looked so lovely with her hair down, skin still holding the glow from their lovemaking. Her neck and shoulders had red marks all over them. Wouldn’t it be nice if he could slip a ring around her finger? Another mark for everyone to see that she was his.

Damn, Gawain. You’re thinking about a ring!

As if they had a mind of their own, his feet moved to stand beside the bed. He leaned down to cup Alex’s face. Before she could say something, he gave her a scorching kiss. He pushed her back down on the bed gently without breaking their kiss. His cock quickly came alive again. “We need to get out of this house, otherwise I’ll keep you in bed all day.”

“Not a bad idea.”

“It is. You’re sore.”

“I’m not.” Alex’s face turned beet red.

“You want to learn how to drive, right?”

Alex sighed. “Right.”

Gawain sat beside the bed and lowered the sheet.

“What are you doing?” Alex tried to grab the sheet to cover herself.

“I have a wet cloth.”

“Uhm, are you thinking of—”

“It’s okay. Spread your legs.”

“I can do it.”

“Let me. I want to do it.” He placed the cloth in between her legs and then began wiping off the blood on her thighs.

Alex covered her face with the book. “I could have just washed in the bathroom.”

“Why, when I can do this? It makes me feel better, too. Sorry for hurting you, baby.”

“It’s all right.”

“We can take a shower again after breakfast. Stay put.” He quickly left the room before he changed his mind and took her again.

Chapter Eleven

He should have rented a tank and wrapped Alex in a sackcloth.

The moment they walked in at the DMV, all eyes were on Alex, though he couldn’t blame everyone for staring. Alex wore a pair of white shorts that exposed her long, perfect, smooth, golden legs and a form-fitting blue sleeveless top with a V-neck. Her messy bound hair added to her delicious look. He scanned the room. Men looked openly with admiration and lust in their eyes. The women assessed her from head to toe. Some sneered and some looked with obvious jealousy. Judging by Alex’s reaction though, he could tell she was oblivious to the attention she was getting. He bet her mind was focused on the test she had to take. He knew, because she’d been chewing on her lips and her accent had emerged as soon as he parked the car.

Gawain let out a deep breath when the DMV representative called Alex’s name to take her behind the room’s partition. Everyone went back to whatever they were doing when they walked in.

It had taken her ten minutes to finish the test. She missed only one question and didn’t like it. She told the department of licensing officer that they should rewrite the question to make it clearer. Gawain didn’t think the man heard everything Alex had said but rather just stared at his baby with a silly smile on his face like a boy talking to his first crush.

Without a doubt, Alex was one smart woman.

And fearless, he found out real quick.

The moment Alex sat on the driver’s seat, he had a weird feeling of déjà vu. Gawain could swear he was looking at his sister when she was sixteen, screaming at the top of her lungs because he promised to take her driving. Kirsten had only managed to put a big dent in his BMW’s bumper and scratch the rim of the front hubcap. She was that good. Well, his sister had experience sitting on the driver’s seat because Dad had let her sit on his lap so she could steer the wheel even before she could reach the gas pedal. He wasn’t so sure about Alex.

He should have known she would give him a heart attack. Well, she nearly did.

Right after they left the DMV, he took Alex to the safest road he could think of—the road that led to his home. He asked her if she’d like to try driving. Her reply was a loud scream and then she got out of the car. She even opened the door for him. After the preliminary instructions on how to drive, Alex was good to go.

She was good in following directions. She stopped when he told her to and remembered when to use the signals. It was the speed and her reaction when she hit a branch and knocked off the left side-view mirror that had him thinking she was a daredevil. She just said oops, slowed down, and laughed. She showed her good sense though when she
did
stop for a squirrel that tried to cross the road. Thank goodness for that.

Orcas had plenty of roads where she could drive and not see a single car. Perfect for a new driver, but Alex didn’t like that. She wanted to go out on the main road. He had to put his foot down on that. He just had her back. He wouldn’t do anything that could cause him to lose her again even though he wanted to say yes to make her happy.

Gawain realized he would give anything for her. Everything. He kept his eyes on the road. One thing about living in Orcas Island, no matter what the time of day, deer were active. Tourists who were clueless about the animal’s activities here often find themselves on the side of the road or in the middle with a bumper broken and a dead deer.

On roads like this, with no traffic, it would be easy to gun for high speed, but only if you were a fucking idiot and didn’t care about nature.

There were so many secluded areas around Orcas. He thought of one place where he could take Alex, make love with her under the canopy of the cedar trees, with the running water for their music, but she must be too sore.

“Stop at the turnaround there, please. We’ll switch.”

Alex gave him a sad puppy look.

Gawain laughed. “Stop, you brat. I didn’t say you’re not going to drive ever again. We’re just taking a break.”

“Okay.” Alex did a perfect stop. “Oh, my. That was fun.”

For her, it was fun. For him, it was a nerve-wracking experience. “Yup. That was good.” Jesus.

“We’ll do this again later?”

“Tomorrow, love. We need to go home.” And he needed a break before his heart exploded inside his chest.

Alex’s shoulders sagged. “Oh. Okay.”

“Hey, I said tomorrow. Cheer up.”

“I know,” Alex whined. “It’s just that I’ve dreamed of this for years.”

“And it is finally happening. Promise. You’ll have your driver’s license before you go back to the Philippines. Switch?”

“Okay.”

“Give me a kiss.”

Alex leaned toward him. He met her halfway. “You’re awesome, beautiful.”

Both of them got out of the car. With the door open, Gawain waited for Alex by the passenger side.

“I broke your mirror.”

He wound his arms around her waist “Fixable. You’re a natural. I’m proud of you.”

“You’re not lying.”

“No, I’m not.” Putting his index finger beneath her chin, he tipped her head up. “We should celebrate.”

“For what?”

“For your accomplishments today.”

“I don’t think breaking your mirror when I hit a branch calls for a celebration.”

Gawain laughed. “Who says I care?” He dipped his thumb inside her mouth. Alex wrapped his lips around it. His body’s reaction was instant. Good God.

While staring at Alex, he removed his thumb from her mouth so he could suck it. He smiled when she inhaled deeply. “I want to make love with you again.”

“What’s stopping you?” she whispered.

“God, what happened to my prim and proper baby? Where is she? What did you do to her?”

“Ha ha.”

He pulled Alex tight. “It’s too soon. I don’t want to hurt you again. I won’t be able to forgive myself.”

“Sweetheart, you won’t hurt me.” Alex bit the base of his neck.

“Say it again.”

“You won’t hurt me.”

“No, before that. You called me…”

“Sweetheart.”

“I like that.”

Where they were, no one could see them. The woods on the left were thick and on the right, there was a steep grassy embankment. No one could disturb them. Between kisses, he reached down to unzip Alex’s shorts while she unbuttoned his fly.

Alex was already wet when he snaked his hand inside her silk underwear to cup her pussy.

“Gawain…”

“Yes, love.”

“I like it when you touch me.”

“And I like touching you.” He quickly unhooked her bra and then lifted her shirt with one hand. “You’re so beautifully made.” He found her clit, then began teasing it with his middle finger.

Alex matched him kiss for kiss. Their tongues mated while his hands were busy touching her. He gave her soft tender kisses along the column of her neck. With little maneuvering, he managed to open the back door and had Alex flat on her back in the back seat. He pulled down her shorts, leaving her underwear on before covering her body with his.

“Lift your shirt. I want to see your breasts.”

Alex smiled wickedly, then lifted her shirt over her head. Next, she took off her bra.

“Damn, woman. You have breasts to die for.”

“Kiss me, Gawain.”

“Baby, I’ll do more than kiss you.” He moved her skimpy underwear to the side, exposing her wet pussy. Without him telling her, Alex anchored her leg on the seat’s headrest, opening herself to him. She was no prim miss. Alex was a wanton, uninhibited and yet an innocent. And he loved that about her. Gawain was painfully hard when he guided his cock into her waiting pussy. “I’ll take you to heaven.”

Both of them let out a moan when he thrust inside her. In the confines of the backseat, he devoured her sweet nipples while he fucked her hard and deep. He wanted to taste her again, but they were in the car. Later, at home, he would feast on her dewy pussy again.

He concentrated on taking them both to the apex. Reaching down, he spread her pussy open, tightening her entry in the process. Damn, it was so good, he felt his precum shoot out inside her.

“Fuck, baby. Come for me.” He kissed her hard, pulling on her lower lip before thrusting his tongue inside.

Alex sucked him greedily.

Moaning, he quickened his pace. “You feel damn good,” he said into Alex’s open mouth. Raising his mouth a hairsbreadth away from hers, he stuck his tongue out until he began to drip saliva inside Alex’s mouth. Each time she tried to catch his tongue, he slammed his cock into her.

“Gawain, I don’t want this to end.”

“Me, too. Come, baby. I’ll help.” He rubbed her clit while he slammed his cock inside her repeatedly.

As soon as Alex screamed his name, he let himself go. “Fuck, yeah.”

Gawain was still catching his breath when he heard the sound of a car engine. Up ahead, the only house was his. No one drove on this road unless they were his siblings or parents, or the driver was lost. Or…

“Honey, as much as I’d like to stay here, we got to move. I hear a car coming.”

“Oh, my God. Get off me then. I need my clothes.”

Alex scrambled to get back into her clothes. He laughed when she cursed because her shirt was on backwards.

Once dressed, he reached inside the car to open his glove compartment and took his gun out. Hand behind his back, he gently pushed Alex behind him and waited.

“Why do you have a gun, Gawain?”

“Protection,” he simply said without taking his eyes off the road.

“Don’t I get to have one?”

Gawain was so surprised, he laughed. “Do you know how to shoot?”

“Slingshot.”

“It’s not the same, love.”

“Is too.”

“Lord, you and my sister.”

The car came into view. It was Bors’s truck. He let out a deep breath and then turned around so he could hug Alex tight. Burying his nose on her hair, he breathed in her scent. God, he would protect this woman. No matter what. But how could he protect his heart from Alex? That realization scared him.

“What’s going on, Gawain? Is there something you’re not telling me? Did you father a child and refuse to pay for child support? Now someone is after you?”

“Funny.”

“I
am
trying to be funny. You make me nervous, you see. I don’t like guns. Do you think someone is going to shoot me? Us?” Alex’s words tumbled out in a thick accent.

“Hey, hey. It’s okay. Like I said, this gun is just for our protection. I know Bors is coming, but someone could have taken this road by accident. You never know.”

Alex’s shoulders sagged. “He’s coming to ask more questions.”

“Or they’re coming for a visit.”

“They?”

“Yes, baby.”

Bors’s car stopped beside his. Tristan, his oldest brother sat in the passenger’s seat.

“Good to see you’re ready, bro,” Bors said, then winked at Alex.

“Hi, nut head.” Kirsten waved. Beside her was Julie and then there was Taylor, all grinning from ear to ear.

“Hey, beautiful Knights.”

“Are you calling me beautiful, pea?” Tristan asked.

“Shut up, grease ball.”

“That’s Alex? Hi, Alex. It’s me, Kirsten. Remember?”

Gawain looked at Alex. She looked in shock. “Baby, they’re here to visit.”

“You didn’t tell me. I look a mess.” She said, “Hi, Kirsten. Of course, I remember you. Oh, my God. You’re beautiful.”

“You are, too. When I saw your picture, I couldn’t believe it was you.”

“Picture?”

“Love, I sent them the picture that I took with my phone.” Gawain squeezed her side gently.

“Oh.”

“Alex, these are my sisters-at-heart. Julie, Tristan’s wife, and Taylor, Bor’s wife. Addie couldn’t come. Percival wouldn’t let her. She’s preggy.”

“Hi, Julie and Taylor.”

“Hello,” Julie and Taylor said simultaneously. Both were giggling.

“All right. We’ll continue the introduction later. I’m starving,” Bors said. “By the way, little bro?”

“Yeah?”

“Your fly is open.”

“Shit!”

Everyone laughed.

His family was laughing at something Bors was saying when he parked his car. Their eyes were on them. Except for Bors who carried a box with white containers in it, they all carried plastic bags.

Gawain guessed his siblings had brought food to share. He loved it when his family came for a visit, but not today. He had something else in mind as soon as they got home—like take a hot bath with Alex and make long love with her until both of them couldn’t think right anymore.
