I’d made the mistake once and wasn’t going to do it a second time. Just as she was turning away, I lunged at her, grabbed her by her hips and pulled her to myself. I kissed her hard, without giving her a chance to take a breath or say anything.
I needed to kiss her. Wanted to kiss her. I would always regret it if I didn’t. She gasped at first but then she was kissing me back too. By the time I pulled away from her, we were both out of breath. Her warm blue eyes were glittering. My hands were still on her hips.
“Yeah, you shouldn’t have come over, because this time I’m not letting you go,” I said.
I was expecting her to push me away, to beg me to release her, but Mercy stared up at me and there were a few moments of complete silence between us.
Then she leaned over and wrapped her arms around me in a tight hug. Her cheek rested on my chest. I breathed in her sweet scent. My hands stroked her back, grabbed her ass lightly. I wanted to make it official that she was all mine. I meant it when I said I wasn’t letting her go.
“I just needed to hear that, Ghost,” she mumbled. I could barely hear her because her voice was muffled by my clothes. Then she looked up at me again, her cheeks flushed pink. “I didn’t know what you wanted. I really needed reassurance.”
“Didn’t you feel it? You could see what I wanted from you, Mercy. You could feel it, right?”
“But I need loyalty and faithfulness and a one-woman man. I wasn’t sure if that was who you were.”
“You are the only woman for me.”
She bit down on her plump pink lip. I kissed her again and this time, she allowed herself to sink into me.
“I’m sorry it took me some time to figure it all out. I didn’t know if I could do it. Be in this world. Worry all the time. Lie awake at night, hoping you were okay.”
I brushed my thumbs over her cheeks.
“But none of that matters because I tried living my life without you in it and I don’t think I can do it. I want you in my life, Ghost. No matter what dangers it brings. No matter what it takes.”
I lifted her up in the air and spun her around, made her giggle with joy. She wrapped her arms around my neck tightly as I carried her over to my bike. When I kissed her this time, it was harder. Stronger. More urgent.
One week of not having her meant that I wanted every part of her. Now. And she was all mine for the taking. No looking back.

Mercy
When my feet touched the ground again, Ghost was peering into my eyes with that look, the look he’d given me the first time he’d kissed me by the creek. He wanted me and was going to take me. I wanted him too, more than he knew.
I could feel the warmth between my legs—sticky and moist. Just kissing him was enough to make my brain spin.
But out here? In the middle of the day? What if someone saw us from one of the clubhouse windows? What if Sophie walked out right now?
Ghost put his hands on my shoulders and was pushing me down on my haunches. Just thinking about his cock in my mouth made me moan and purr like a cat. I looked up at him while he undid his belt.
I didn’t care about being found. The thought that someone would see us like this only made me wetter. I used to be a stripper, giving sensual lap dances for a living! And yet, this felt like the naughtiest thing I had ever done.
I helped him pull his pants down. Ghost stood over me in all his muscular glory. Legs firmly planted apart, his jaws clenched tightly. He put a hand on my head to guide me toward his cock.
I took him in my hand and started stroking him gently. But he didn’t want me to be gentle with him. He wanted me to be rough. To be desperate for his cock in my mouth. I barely had a chance to open wide before Ghost pushed himself in between my lips.
He thrust his cock down my throat, making me gag. His hands held on to my head firmly. He started thrusting his cock in and out. I could feel the width of him inside. Big and throbbing. I tasted the saltiness of his cum on my tongue.
He held my gaze and I could see how much he wanted this. I knew he had spent the last week fantasizing about this too. My panties were soaked with my juices. The harder he thrust his cock in my mouth, the more I wanted him in my pussy. I could feel myself shudder with desire, and I purred again and he thrust harder.
The tip of his cock pushed into the back of my throat. I held onto his thighs, so muscular and rock solid, like tree trunks. He grunted with every thrust. I knew he was right on the edge of coming, but then he pulled his cock out. He stepped away from me. I looked up at the clubhouse windows, but there was nobody in sight. Another thrill ran down my spine. Maybe we could get away with more.
It was like I was charged on electricity. There were goosebumps on my arms. I stood up and turned to face his bike.
“I want you to claim me. Right here. On your bike. Do it,” I said in a surprisingly commanding voice. He heard it too. My determination.
I draped myself over the bike, pressing my breasts into the seat, sticking my butt out in the air for him to take.
Ghost was taking his time. When I looked over my shoulder, I saw he was staring at me,
