“Dad was a meanie, you didn’t have to go so soon, did you? I thought…?”
“You thought what?” I ask her, my voice dropping an octave, my hand pulling at the wheel now to stop from touching myself as I listen to her speak.
“I dunno… I just thought… It’s silly, never mind,” she stammers, but I can’t let it go.
I won’t.
“Tell me, Penny. Tell me,” I command.
She shivers a long breath and I feel my hips starting to buck and thrust against my will. The thick denim of my jeans nowhere near as tight as I know she’ll be once she’s straddling my cock.
As I stretch her wide, claiming her.
Taking what’s rightfully mine and filling her with my seed.
With our own family.
“I just liked it when you held my hand before is all,” she says so quietly I almost don’t hear her.
And then I know.
We both know now, I’m not imagining things and neither is she.
“Steve?” she asks suddenly, and I feel her flushed embarrassment mixed with the pressing need I feel in my pants.
“I’m here. I’ll be right over if you want.”
She makes that sound again, like a pleading, whimpering gasp.
It’s about as much as I can take and she’s not even trying to turn me on, it’s just how things are between us both now.
I barely look as I shift my truck into gear and turn the corner, right at the same moment as another car which I have to brake hard to avoid hitting.
Motherfucker.
I recognize that car, but what’s he doing here?
I hear my low growl in time with the hair on my neck standing on end. My hands gripping the wheel so hard I hear plastic split somewhere.
CHAPTER FIVE
Penny
I feel dizzy, like I’m about to faint. All the blood has rushed from my head and it feels like it’s all going to my chest and to the warmth spreading from between my legs.
Dad will be gone for at least a couple hours if I know him.
I can have Steve all to myself. Better than that, he can have me.
I practically squeal out loud as I rush to get the door after hearing his truck pull up.
Checking my hair in the hall mirror, I can’t help but notice how flushed I look, how freakin’ horny I feel.
Like the only thing I want right now is Steve all over me.
Inside me.
“Uh… Mack?” I ask, suddenly shielding myself behind the door.
What the fuck? Where’s Steve? Dammit!
Two seconds after it registers that Mack’s here, Steve pulls up and he doesn’t look happy to see him here either.
“Hi Penny. I was hoping to catch your dad. Just got a few things he might need from the shop, stuff I used today and didn’t leave behind at the workshop… Oh! Hi Steve!” Mack exclaims, giving a big five in the air to Steve as he looms up the driveway.
“Almost ran into you, I know. You should save your speed for tomorrow,” Mack jokes, but his face falls once he senses Steve’s mood, and then notices mine isn’t much better.
Talk about bad timing.
“Everything alright?” Mack asks me gently, glancing from Steve to myself then back again.
“Sure, sorry Mack.” I let him know, deliberately trying to sound way friendlier than Steve looks right now. “I was just expecting Steve instead, big deal tomorrow, lots to do,” I offer, but Mack’s no dummy.
Any man could see what’s eating Steve, or rather what’s between Steve and what he’d rather be eating.
Me, I hope but not at this rate. Dammit Mack, of all the times to just turn up like this.
Mack’s also older, older than both my dad and Steve, and his maturity shows but he still has his job to do.
“I won’t hold you up then.” He half-smiles, doing his best to stay cheerful. “But if your dad doesn’t get these tools and this month’s accounts, he’ll be chasing me and I don’t want that.”
“You must’ve passed him, he only just left a few minutes ago,” I tell Mack, wincing as Steve makes a terrible sound, like a caged animal.
“Well, I’ll get those tools,” Mack murmurs, and making sure he walks on the other side of his car to avoid Steve, he pops the trunk while I usher Steve inside.
“What’s he doing here?” Steve asks, sounding more hurt than angry. I can only shrug.
“He turned up as soon as I hung up with you. Where were you anyway, right around the corner?” I pout, feeling like Mack’s not only ruined a moment I wanted with Steve alone, but also driven a wedge between us.
Mack will tell my dad, and my dad will have words with Steve and me, I just know it.
Because Steve came back after my dad left? No, because Steve’s acting like a mad wolf who wants his dinner and anyone between me and him is prey, that’s why.
My dad’s pretty easy going except for when it comes to his only daughter.
Maybe not as protective as Steve, by the looks, but it’s not a drama I want right now. It’s seriously flattering, but just not what I had in mind.
I still don’t even know exactly what I did have in mind, but it sure as hell wasn’t this.
“Steve?” I ask him urgently, almost hissing under my breath before Mack gets back. “I’m sorry. I had no idea Mack was just gonna show up like this.”
He’s hurt, but also looks like he’s torn between two or more things himself.
I seriously wonder now if I wasn’t imagining things. Steve’s got a life changing career ahead of him, tons of responsibility.
I’m not so sure his mind is going to weigh too heavily on his mechanic’s daughter who is half his age.
“Just tell me this is real!” he replies, doing his best to keep his voice down, but it’s so deep, so full of emotion I don’t know what to say.
“That what’s real?” I ask him, more confused than ever.
“This!” he says, and grabbing
