Chapter Ten

F aith sat beside Slice in the truck, listening to the music. They’d asked some questions of each other on the way back, and she’d gotten to know him better. She’d never been around a man before where silence felt comfortable too. She usually got nervous and felt like she needed to fill the dead space, which was a trial for an introvert like her. But with Slice, driving down the road and listening to the music had her feeling content. She was happy with Slice.

“I’ve been thinking that the last thing I want to do is try to kiss you good night when we get back to your house with War, Remi, Locks, and whoever else has decided to show up. I know this sounds like high school but the place that Whiskey built to commemorate where he and his wife met is coming up. There’s a space to pull off the road. What do you say I pull off and we get a couple kisses in before I return you home?”

Faith nodded. She had to admit she’d been a little worried that she wouldn’t get a kiss with the kids still awake and everyone there.

“I think it sounds perfect. You left pretty quickly after our last kiss.”

Slice sighed and glanced up. “I know. I promise to make it up to you.”

She giggled and thought about how much fun she’d have tonight. With Slice, she felt like she could tease him and not worry he’d take it wrong.

“Maybe you could explore second base a little,” Faith teased.

“I believe you’re a little wicked teasing me while we’re driving down the road,” Slice said.

Faith didn’t know what emboldened her because she never would have dreamed of doing it to any other man she’d dated, but with Slice, she felt desirable and daring.

“Does that mean you don’t want me to check out third base with you?” Faith asked, leaning over a little to slide her hand down his jean-clad cock and back up.

“Woman,” Slice groaned.

His steel-hard length seemed to get harder, if that was possible, underneath her hand. She measured the length of him and squeezed tentatively.

His breathing deepened, and Slice widened his legs to allow her to reach him better.

“Should I unzip your jeans?” Faith asked.

“Nope. Definitely not. I have zero control where you are concerned, and your hand directly on my cock would probably have me wrecking Dex’s truck,” Slice said.

“You mean my hand on Rocket?” Faith teased.

Slice chuckled. “He’s going to be a rocket if you don’t pull your hand away. I want you too much, and I just planned on some kissing. When I finally have you, I want hours and a flat surface to appreciate each and every luscious inch of you.”

Faith leaned over and kissed Slice’s neck right below his beard. “Are we close to the turnoff?”

Just feeling Slice had her turned on. Her panties were damp, and she wanted Slice’s hands on her breasts before she spontaneously combusted.

Slice nodded at an area along the right, and he pulled in and parked. He turned off the headlights but left the vehicle running. He unbuckled his seatbelt and leaned across, unbuckling Faith’s. He slid his seat back as far as possible and tilted the back of the seat back. He sat up and looked at Faith. Sliding his hand along her face, he grasped the back of her neck. Tugging her close to his mouth across the console, his lips caressed hers and then nibbled until his tongue swept inside.

Faith let Slice lead and just enjoyed the way he made her feel. Who knew a kiss could build her up like this?

She ached for him to take them farther. “Slice,” she moaned.

“Gabe. Call me Gabe when you’re moaning my name wanting more,” he whispered against her lips.

He stared at her, then at the seat. “I want to feel you against me. I’m going to lift you over the seat, and then you can lay on top of me as I get to know what makes you hot.”

Faith started to shake her head no. He wasn’t going to hurt his back or drop her. Before she could voice her protest, Slice had lifted her under her arms and pulled her onto the console. He slid one arm underneath her knees and the other behind her back and lifted her onto his seat.

He placed her on his lap, where his hard cock had her squirming against him. He leaned back and helped her turn so she was flush against him. Her breasts brushing his chest had her nipples hardening. Slice’s lips kissed hers, then trailed down her neck. His beard brushing against her skin added another layer to the sensations. His lips kissing and laving her skin as he unbuttoned her blouse felt too good not to press closer to him.

His finger rubbed her nipple through the thin bra cup he’d exposed.

“You’re gorgeous, Faith,” he said, tugging the cup down to take her nipple in his mouth. She couldn’t contain the moan at the feel of his lips and tongue tasting her. She grabbed the back of his neck, holding him against her.

He smiled against her, “Show me what you love, babe.”

“Suck harder, please,” she whispered. She’d never been confident enough to tell anyone what she wanted. With Slice, she could be herself.

He suckled harder and reached inside her other bra cup to play with her nipple.

“Oh, so good,” she moaned, moving against him.

A knock on the window had her pausing. Slice reacted faster than she did and had her bra cups back up and her blouse buttoned before he rolled the window down.

“Officer, how can I help you?” Slice asked.

“Just checking to make sure it wasn’t kids getting into trouble,” the officer said.

“Nope, just trying to get a few kisses in with my woman before we went home to the kids and babysitter,” Slice said wryly.

The officer chuckled. “I hear you. Kids are the cutest little cockblockers you’ll ever see. Y’all have a nice night.”

Slice rolled up the window and stared at her. He leaned up and kissed her.

“Since he’s still sitting there and it’s getting close to when we need to get back, shall we put this under to be continued at a later date?” Slice asked, chuckling.

Faith smiled. “Yes, I believe so.”

Slice lifted her back over the console and buckled her in again. It didn’t take him long to get them back on the road. Faith had been so embarrassed, but Slice had just gone with the flow.

“I’m so glad no one else saw us. How embarrassing,” Faith said.

Slice shook his head. “Umm, that officer is friends with Locks. I have no doubt the gossip network will eventually let everyone at Bluff Creek know exactly what we were doing. But who cares? They’ll just be jealous they weren’t there with their woman. They might tease us a little, but it’s all in good fun.”

Faith guessed he was right. Maybe she needed to start remembering she was an adult, and she didn’t need to worry about what others thought about her. At least she’d try to remember that. She had a really good friend who taught first grade right down the hall from her, but she also had a couple of mean women at school who took every opportunity to put her down. For now, she’d concentrate on the positive. Slice was so special, and he wanted her. Yep, book boyfriend come to life.
