CHAPTER 23

ROSALIE

I barely opened my eyes the next morning. Being wrapped up next to AJ, his arm resting around my body with his hand gently stroking my side, felt like a dream. Then, I realized, this was the first time since he had left that it wasn’t a dream.

I tilted my head on his chest to glance up at his face. He was smiling, eyes closed, and I just melted.

“I love you so much,” I whispered, wrapping my arm around his stomach and snuggling closer.

“Love you too, baby girl,” he replied as he cracked open an eye.

I giggled and slowly climbed on top of him. I bit my lip as I bumped his morning hard-on. “I’m sorry. Did I wake you?”

He shook his head and opened both his eyes as he slowly brought his hands up my thighs and rested them on my ass.

“No, I was waking up already. Besides, anytime you wanna wake me up like this? Go for it.”

He dragged one of his hands from my ass up my stomach and cupped my boob, one right after the other. He gave each a gentle squeeze and rolled his thumb over each nipple.

I squirmed on top of him and let out a cheerful hum. I just couldn’t get over us really being back together. Everything about AJ being here just felt right. I rubbed my hands over his abs and up to his pecs. He flexed under me, and I rolled my eyes and giggled. It was crazy how he could feel so soft and warm to me, yet he had a body like this. And of course, his body wasn’t just hot, but his face was sexy as heck to me. And I wasn’t going to think about what that cock of his could do, or we wouldn’t leave the bed all day!

My eyes wandered over to my phone, which had just lit up from a notification, and I saw it was almost time for me to get up to get ready and to go to work.

“Ah, man, I don’t wanna say it, but I have to get going soon. I already blew off work yesterday. I bet we’re going to be backed up today.”

“Stay a few more minutes, baby girl. I know you can beat traffic better than anyone. ’Sides, I’m kinda in the mood if you can’t tell.” He smirked at me as I felt his cock twitch under me.

“Oh, really? Maybe I should help with that then? I guess I could stay a little longer…”

I slid back onto the bed between his legs. My mouth was already salivating from what I was about to do. I nestled in. AJ’s eyes watched me with interest for my next move.

“Maybe you should since you’re the one creating the problem.” AJ chuckled as he stroked the side of my head with his hand.

I smiled and wrapped my hands around his cock’s base, giving it a little squeeze. My heart started to beat faster as he groaned from the pressure.

“Fuck. Your hands are always so damn soft, Rosalie,” AJ uttered under his breath.

That compliment was exactly why I made sure they stayed that way. I was always careful at the shop to keep my hands from getting hurt or dirty because I never knew when I needed to give my sexy boyfriend a hand job. I bit my lower lip and fluttered my eyelashes.

“I mean, if you think that feels good, wait until you see what else they can do,” I said innocently.

He chuckled, and I stroked, twisting my hand a bit on each upward pull while my other hand went down and started massaging his balls. His fingers wound in my hair and tugged my head closer as his moans filled the room.

“I love the sound of you moaning, AJ. It’s such a turn-on,” I murmured as I stroked faster.

He twitched on the bed as I rolled my thumb over his tip on the next stroke. He was rock hard, and his veins were so visible right now. Time to take it up a notch. I lowered my head and took one ball after the other into my mouth, gently sucking and licking them.

“Ohhh, fuck. That’s it, baby girl. Play with them,” AJ groaned as I sucked harder.

Whenever AJ spoke to me like this, all I wanted to do was make him enjoy all the pleasure he could. I didn’t know what it was, but he sure knew how to make me feel like the most special girl in the world.

I rolled my tongue around both of his balls in a little eight pattern. I could feel them draw tighter against his body as I licked and sucked. I loved knowing I could turn him on so much.

He growled my name as his hand tightened in my hair. He tugged me closer.

“Rosalie, if you don’t stop sucking my balls and start sucking my cock now, I might bust all over your face, baby girl.”

The arousal in his voice made my eyes snap to his, which were half closed yet full of passion. He might have been getting close, but I didn’t want him to come just yet. So, I went back to just stroking him, intentionally missing his most sensitive areas.

“I don’t want you to come on my face, silly. I want to taste you on my tongue. I suppose I need to let you calm down for a minute so I can give you all of the attention I want to give you before you come.”

A low growl emanated from his throat, and I went a step further in teasing him by licking slowly from the base of his shaft to the tip, taking the bead of precum there onto my tongue and swirling it around.

His breathing became labored, and I took his cock into my mouth. God, AJ tasted so good. I could enjoy sucking his cock all day. I bobbed my head up and down, taking more of his length in with each suck until he was hitting the back of my throat.

“That’s it. What a good girl. Fuck, your mouth feels amazing, Rosalie.”

Not nearly as amazing as how your cock feels, stretching my mouth to its limits.

I moved my head faster and watched as he rolled his eyes closed. Then, he reached down and gripped the other side of my head, pushing me as deep as I could go, and I fought to not choke on his cock from how far it was hitting in my throat. As he held my head there, he thrust one, two, three times before he groaned, and I could feel his cum filling the back of my mouth.

I moaned at the taste of it.

He thrust two more times before releasing my head, and I bobbed a few more times up and down, sucking his cock clean. I let him pop from my mouth, and I blushed as I felt his cock tap against my lower lip. I couldn’t believe I had forgotten how AJ could stay hard after coming, and then it struck me.

I want to feel him inside my pussy too.

“AJ, I need more,” I whimpered as I climbed on top of his body and straddled him.

AJ wrapped his hands around my ass and held me in place as he adjusted himself to sit upright on the bed with me in his lap, but the way his cock slipped against my soaking wet pussy had me so turned on. He ran his hand up to the back of my neck and kissed me. Then, he deepened the kiss, and I wrapped my arms around his shoulders. I felt him lift my ass off of him slightly, and I prepared myself for what I knew was coming next—and I was so ready for it. He shoved the tip of his cock inside my pussy, and I moaned against his lips. Rotating my hips, I bounced in place, taking him farther into me with each one.

“Yes, AJ. Oh, fuck, baby. I like that. You feel so good,” I moaned.

Now that I’d had AJ again, I just couldn’t get enough. I even didn’t like that I had to go to work today—but let’s face it—I couldn’t hide from the world forever, no matter how good his arms felt, wrapped around me. Besides, knowing he was here gave me something to look forward to when I came home, and I hadn’t felt that in a really long time.

AJ rubbed my ass, squeezing and rolling it between his palms. Using my momentum, he pulled downward when I was bouncing on his cock, making me go deeper than I would’ve gone on my own. He was filling me to the brim and hitting the deep parts of my body. I couldn’t get enough. I settled all the way down and rotated my hips slowly. My pussy gripped his cock, pulsing as it twitched inside me. I could feel the veins throbbing for a release. My nipples grazed his pecs, causing the sensitivity building in my body to shoot through the roof. I tilted my head back and moaned.

He leaned in, kissing, sucking, and biting my neck, leaving his mark on my skin. Marks that I would proudly wear, showing the world that I was his and his alone. I was willingly giving him all of my heart once more. He was my everything, and I couldn’t hold back with him any longer. And neither could my orgasm. It ripped through every nerve I had, like a bolt of lightning had struck us. I cried out and held on to him tight as I rocked my body on his cock, wave after wave of pleasure rolling through me.

“Oh, fuck, baby girl. I’m gonna come,” AJ groaned.

I felt his cock sputter inside my pussy, filling me full. He held me as I rocked against him until both of our orgasms subsided. Then, we just rested, forehead to forehead, until we caught our breath.

“I love you so much, AJ,” I whispered.

“I know. I love you too.”

I sighed. I was so content right now. The last day had been full of perfect moments. And I was so ready to keep having them.

“You have no idea how much I missed you. Ugh, sometimes, I can be so mad that you wasted a whole year where we could have been together!” I playfully reached over and grabbed a pillow and smacked him with it. Of course, I wasn’t really that mad anymore, but I was sad we had missed out on so much time together.

AJ let me whack him a few times before he grabbed it and pulled it from my hands. Then, he rolled over on top of me and pinned my hands to my sides, his smirk growing by the second.

“If you wanted to go another round, baby girl, all you had to do was ask.”

I leaned up to him and tried to kiss him, but he was just out of my reach.

“You know I would if I could, but I really have to go to work.” I wiggled under him, and he eased his grip, letting me sit up as he kept his arms on either side of my lap.

I kissed AJ one more time before I regretfully climbed out from between his arms and dipped into the bathroom to take a quick shower. I half expected AJ to join me, but he didn’t, and when I walked out of the bathroom to get dressed a few minutes later, he wasn’t in the bedroom anymore either. But just as I was about to call his name, the smell of freshly brewing coffee entered my nose.

He did not go down to make me coffee, knowing I was running behind.

But when I got dressed, then finished my hair and makeup, I wandered down the stairs and saw that was exactly what he had done.

Could he literally be any more perfect? Like, I swear, we’ve been together for only a day, and it already feels like this is the most natural thing in the world.

“Here you go. Figured it wouldn’t hurt to get you set up to go since I’m kind of the reason you’re running late.” AJ chuckled as he walked over with my cup of coffee in his hand.

“Thanks. I really appreciate it. So, what are you gonna do today while I’m at work?” I asked, taking a sip as I walked over to the front door and began slipping on my shoes.

AJ leaned back on the counter, thinking as he ran his hand through his hair. “You know me. I gotta make some cash. That donk ain’t gonna finish itself.”

I tilted my head as I answered, confused, “You know I’ll paint it for you for free, right? Kind of a girlfriend perk?”

He smirked at me before stepping over and tugging me against him, brushing my hair out of my face. “You work too hard to do it for free, Rosalie. Don’t you worry about it.”

I set my coffee down on the table and pulled on my light jacket, looking away from him. Trying to keep the little happy tears that were threatening to pour down my cheeks at bay, I took a moment to compose myself. Of course, AJ would appreciate an artist’s work to the point that it was something he would pay for. People could hate him for boosting cars, but because he still said things like this, it almost made the fact that he stole cars a bit better. But maybe one day, he wouldn’t feel like he had to steal cars to get by anymore. Because I made more money than I knew what to do with. I already owned the house and my cars, so everything outside of bills went mostly into my savings.

I took one more deep breath before turning to face him again. “Just… don’t get hurt, okay? Need you to stay in one piece for me.”

He smirked at me and kissed me one more time. “Don’t worry about it. I know how to handle myself. I’ll see you tonight, baby girl.”

I grabbed my keys and headed out. I might be slightly paranoid, but I probably checked my rearview a dozen times on my way to work. But I never saw any biker doing anything suspicious, so by the time I got to work, I was in a pretty good mood still.

I walked into the shop to see Dad and Reece already at it. I waved to Reece before I wandered over to see what Dad was up to.

“Hey, Dad! Sorry I was a few minutes late. There’s just been, umm… a lot going on. Do you have a minute to talk?”

Dad looked up from the engine that he was elbow deep in. He grabbed a rag and started wiping his hands. “Sure, I could use a break, just like this engine decided to do on me when I took her around the block.”

We chuckled at his joke before I nodded and led the way to his office on the second floor. I sat down in one of the chairs in front of the desk while Dad sat down at his desk.

He threw the shop rag over his shoulder before asking, “So, what did you want to talk about?”

I played with the edge of my shirt. “I dumped Kordell and am back together with AJ. I just wanted to let you know,” I said in one breath.

I wasn’t sure what I was expecting, but maybe it was that Dad would be surprised or something. But he wasn’t. Instead, a smile broke out on his face and he leaned forward on his desk.

“I’m happy to hear that, Rosalie. I knew you still had to have feelings for him. And I’m glad that my meddling with your relationship didn’t end it completely. While I’m not too happy you’re with a guy who boosts cars, fights illegally for money, and hangs around the local gangs so much, I feel much more comfortable with you being with AJ than you being with Kordell. I didn’t want to interfere with another one of your boyfriends, but I never liked Kordell.”

“I kinda figured. Mom had plenty to say about him the night you two took me home. So, I was betting you would be in the same boat as her. But, well, now you two don’t have to worry about me. I’m finally choosing myself, and if someone can’t treat me like I deserve, I’m not going to be with them.” I nodded, reaffirming that I was finally feeling in control of my life for the first time in a long while.

“Good for you, Rosalie. I’m glad to see my daughter back to her old self.” Dad got up and walked around his desk.

I stood and gave him a big hug. “Umm, Dad? There is just one last thing I wanted to talk to you about,” I mumbled against his shirt.

Dad pulled away to look at me. “What’s that?”

I smiled really big and could feel the excitement building in my chest. “I want to host my first Flywheels event! But I want it to be legit street racing, like what you and your friends used to do back in the day. Not using old airstrips or warehouses, but having a street course built for racing and drifting! Do you think we could do that? Pleeease!” I gave him my best you love me sooo much smile, which used to work wonders when I was a little kid, wanting a new model car to build.

Dad tilted his head from side to side, as if he was deep in thought. “Rosalie, street racing is really dangerous. Even more so than blocking an alleyway. There is no way we can block off an entire course if we do this legitimately, so there are risks of hitting someone innocently driving home or avoiding them by braking hard and possibly losing the race because of it. Plus, no one is going to stop for a red light, and there will probably be cops alerted at some point. I wouldn’t want any hotheads willing to risk anything to be racing, so who did you have in mind?”

I thought about it for a minute. I never really considered who I wanted to race against. “I’m not sure. Maybe we could put a post out and let people sign up and then select a few from that?” I asked, hopeful Dad would like that or come up with something else because of it.

“Actually, that’s not a bad idea. This way, we can select the racers ourselves and make sure they are honorable ones who aren’t going to try to do something sketchy,” Dad replied. “Go ahead and put the post out with a sign-up link on the official Flywheels page. Make the event for this weekend. That way, people won’t drag their feet to apply today.”

I pulled out my phone as Dad walked over to the office door and started to type out the post.

“Rosalie, don’t tell your mom, but I can’t wait to see you win your first street race. Just remember to wear your helmet.”

I smiled at him and gave him a thumbs-up. “I will, Dad, don’t worry! And I’ll be careful too!”

I typed out the post and hit Send, and by the afternoon, we had over thirty people apply for the races. One name in particular really surprised me.

AJ.

I think my mouth fell to the floor when I saw his application, but it quickly snapped shut when a message from Kordell flashed across my screen.

Kordell

Hey, mama, I know you think yesterday meant you dumped me, but it didn’t. I’m not letting you go like that.

What the actual fuck? What was he talking about? Of course I dumped him. He couldn’t really be in this much denial, could he?

Rosalie

Ummm, no, I did break up with you, Kordell, and I don’t want you to come anywhere near me ever again. Please don’t try to contact me.

I went to his contact info and pressed the Block button, then went back and promptly deleted all of our messages.

Note to self: make sure to clean out your phone and restore it from the cloud backup you have!

After that, the rest of the day went by smoothly, and before I knew it, I was home with AJ, watching movies while we ate dinner.
