Clasping her hand, she helped him to his feet, and for the first time in a very long time, he saw the light at the end of a very long tunnel. It may only be a pinprick, but it was enough to feel like he could accomplish anything.
Present Day
Morry stomped into the building and down the hall— to the room she used as an office. They passed Wolf’s room, and she glanced through the open door. Her worry for him spiked, which only made her angrier. The seizure was mild which was a blessing, but he couldn’t be moved as soon as they’d hoped. She needed to get back to the clubhouse and find a way to see her son. Kyle shouldn’t have to wonder if she loved him and if she had to break heads, arms, and rules to get in there, that was exactly what she planned on doing.
She opened the office door and held it open for Jeremy to walk through. As soon as he was over the threshold, she closed the door and stared at the handle.
“Morry, look, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have attacked Judd like that, but the guy is a fucking prick, and I’m so sick of him thinking he can push me around and call me whatever he wants.”
She reached out and locked the door, then turned around to face Jeremy as he continued to explain himself.
“The guy has always taken more liberties with me than anyone else, and I’m done. You taught me to stand up for myself and—”
“Shut up,” she said. “Does your lip hurt?”
He touched the corner of his mouth where there was still a small trickle of blood and shook his head no.
“Good.”
Morry took off her leather jacket and tossed it on the coffee table by the couch. Jeremy stood there watching her every move, and she smirked as he tried and failed to keep his eyes on her face. They kept dropping to the bra-like top she was wearing.
Reaching behind her back, she grabbed the short zipper and pulled it down. She savored the look on Jeremy’s face as she let the top slide down her arms. It, too, ended up on the table. Jeremy licked his lips, eyes wide as he stared at her chest.
Morry took a step toward Jeremy, which seemed to snap him out of his shocked state. Those blue eyes darkened, and there was the man who had kissed her outside. He lit a fire in her belly, and for the first time in years, she was ravenous for a man’s touch. She needed him to exhaust every part of her body for this one time only. She had no idea why she was even allowing this to happen. It was a terrible idea, but she felt like being selfish.
“That was the sexiest thing I’ve ever seen you do. Seeing Judd get laid out was pretty fucking sweet. Just don’t do it again unless you’re defending yourself. Understand?”
“Oh, fuck yeah, I understand,” he said and placed his leather cut on the same table Morry threw her jacket on. It was quickly followed by the black T-shirt he was wearing.
Holy shit, he was incredible. Morry’s eyes wandered over his defined shoulders and arms first. Jeremy transformed over the last five years into a totally different person. She could hardly believe this was the same guy who Dean had dropped off.
Jeremy had the best Adonis V she’d ever seen, and she licked her lips as she followed those lines down toward the distinct bulge behind the fly of his jeans.
She had no idea why he bothered with her when a ton of sweetbutts traveled everywhere with them. They were all young and looked at him like he was their favorite lollipop. Whether it was because he wanted to say he scored with the boss or just wanted the experience with an older woman, she didn’t know, and right now, it didn’t matter. She would take what he offered and what she desperately wanted, then slam the door shut once more.
“You plan on keeping that promise you made outside,” she asked as he wrapped his arm around her waist. Goosebumps rose all along her skin with just that simple touch.
“About making you scream only my name?”
“Yeah, that one.”
Jeremy smirked, and the heat bloomed dangerously throughout her body while her heart skipped behind her ribcage. She should stop. If she were smart, she would order him out the door right now.
“You better believe it,” he said.
That reason right there was why she wasn’t going to. Jeremy whipped them around and pressed her up against the cold wall, drawing a sharp breath from her. There was no time to adjust before his lips crashed down on hers. It felt like his body was somehow trying to speak to her. She could feel the need coursing through him from every spot their bodies touched. Morry moaned as she laid her hands on him for the first time as a woman. Not his boss or emotional support. Her hands ran over his skin and hard muscles.
“Oh fuck. Is this actually happening,” he asked, breaking the kiss. “If it’s not, don’t tell me. I want this fantasy to play out.”
Jeremy gripped her ass and shocked her as he lifted her up until his lips were level with her chest. There was nothing tentative about the way he ravaged her.
“Oh fuck,” she moaned and grabbed his hair as he sucked her nipple into his mouth.
It was like fire against her cool skin, and she wiggled in his grasp as his tongue swirled around her sensitive bud. Jeremy’s eyes closed, and he sucked so hard she knew there would be marks from his teeth on her sensitive skin. Yes, this was what she wanted. Jeremy growled like an animal as he broke the seal and immediately moved to her other nipple, giving it equal attention.
Morry dropped her head back on the wall and closed her eyes as the sensations rippled like a tide of desire through her. She shuddered in his hold as every part of her body lit up like a switchboard.
“You’re so fucking beautiful,” he said and pulled her away from the wall.
