Semua Bab Satisfying Her Darkest Fantasies: Bab 561 - Bab 570

“Jason.”He lowered his head and flicked his tongue over the pebbled peak. She shuddered and buried her fingers in his hair. She managed to find a bruise on the back of his head, but the pain she unknowingly inflicted fueled his fire.He eased her toward the sofa. When she tried to remove his shirt, he pulled away and shook his head. “This is for you,” he said, but in reality, he didn’t want her to see his body and the ugly black and blue marks.“Jason?” she whispered uncertainly.“It’s okay. I want to make you feel good.” He didn’t care about his own enjoyment. He wanted to show her how strongly he felt about her by pleasuring her body. He’d have to show her, because he knew he couldn’t say it. He caressed, kissed, and suckled every inch of her silky skin above the waist, paying close attention to her reactions, seeking the spots that brought her the most pleasure. When she tugged at his shirt, he moved out of her reach and removed her jeans and sandals. Her body grew stiff with anxi

“We really weren’t doing anything but talking,” Aggie said.“What were you talking about?”Her opening with Eric presented itself, so she took it. “Jace’s father. How he died.”Eric glanced at Jace. “How?”“I don’t like to talk about it,” Jace said.“Do you have any other family?”“Nope. No parents. No family.”Jace wriggled to get up, but Aggie sprawled her body over his and rested her head on his shoulder. She lay there like a dead weight to keep him from avoiding this conversation.“Did you go into foster care?” Eric asked.“I was fifteen with a criminal record. No one wanted to open their home to a derelict. I stayed in a group home for almost three years.”“Did you serve jail time?”“Juvenile hall for a few months. For a couple of shoplifting charges—nothing too exciting.”“The key to being a good shoplifter is not to get caught.”“You shoplifted?”“I was a holy terror as a kid,” Eric said.Jace snorted and stopped trying to weasel out from beneath Aggie. “Nothing’s changed.”Eri

“No, she loved you. I hated you.”“I’m sorry, Brian. I had no idea. I never meant to hurt her.”“Well, you did.” Brian considered him for a long moment. Jace wished he’d just hit him again and get it over with. Brian relaxed his stance instead. He cracked his knuckles. “God, that felt good. Do you know how long I’ve wanted to punch this Jason jerk in the face?”“Ten years?” Jace guessed.Brian laughed. “Yeah.” He thumbed the bruise forming on Jace’s chin. “You okay?”“Yeah. I’m glad you hit me. I feel better now. That secret has been eating me alive.”“We’ll never speak of this again. Got it?”Jace nodded. “Got it.”They started toward the bus. “So are you and Aggie going to tie the knot?” Brian asked unexpectedly.Tie the knot. As in marriage? Jace was so stunned by the idea he stopped walking in mid-stride. He stumbled, bumping against Brian’s shoulder. Marriage had never crossed his mind. Not once. But wasn’t that what a couple did when they were in love?“No?” Brian squeezed Jace’

Jace took a deep breath. Everything was a joke with this guy. Jace pushed forward with what he had to say, even though he knew Eric would use it to make fun of him in the future. “You are the reason I am who I am today. You, Eric. You turned my life around. So if you think you don’t matter to anyone, you’re wrong. You matter to me.”Jace pushed off the side of the bus and walked back to the entrance. He blew into his hands and clenched them into fists for warmth. The tips of his ears tingled, and his butt was numb from the cold. There was a warm and willing woman waiting for him inside. He wondered why he’d stayed in the chill for this long.“Wait. Jace?” Eric called after him. “What do you mean I turned your life around?”Jace had already said too much. He lifted a hand in farewell and climbed the steps to enter the bus. He was looking forward to crawling into bed with Aggie. Or he had been, until he saw Jon sitting on the floor outside her bunk with his back pressed against the wall

Huh? Aggie glanced from one band member to the next, having no idea what they were laughing about.“Hey, the rainbow background was Jace’s idea,” Eric said.Myrna went after Eric with a paddle. She struck him twice before he managed to escape.“I have one too,” Trey said.He shucked his jeans and presented his bare ass to the bus occupants. A vibrantly bright and colorful tattoo of a fluffy calico kitten riding a galloping, majestic unicorn adorned a third of Trey’s left ass cheek. A rainbow and wispy, white clouds surrounded the mythical creature. Little girls would be ashamed to have that feminine monstrosity on their lunch boxes. Why would a guy have that tattooed on his ass? Correction—two guys.Aggie joined the laughter. Clutching his abdomen with both arms, tears pouring from his eyes, Sed was lying on the floor, rolling back and forth in the aisle as he laughed. Myrna paused and ran a hand over Trey’s flank as she inspected the “artwork” that matched her husband’s.“Son of a bi
