Ethan (Devil's Flame MC #9) - Romi Hart Page 0,12

taking another bite of his food. “Since when have you been riding?”

She swallowed her bite, and replied, “Oh for quite some time now. I learned from dad and Martin when I was younger. We used to go on these long rides together…” The noodles in her chopsticks sagged back down into the container, as she started to drown into her thoughts. The emotions started to rise up, choking her throat up. She swallowed to push it down, and Ethan grabbed hold of her hand.

“We’ll find him, Brett. That’s what I’m here for. That’s why the club sent me. Everything will be ok.”

She looked up at him, just barely holding back the tears. She didn’t like crying, because then she would break down. She couldn’t afford that. The look in his eyes said that his words were genuine. The roughness, the warmth, the strength of his hold on her hands inspired courage. “Thank you, Ethan.”

He stood up, still holding her hand, walked across the table, pulled her out of the seat, and took her straight into his arms. He looked down into her and she could feel his hard body wrap around hers and support her up. She pushed up on her toes, and he came down to meet her lips in the middle.

The kiss was gentle, soft, so in contrast to his being. She opened up further, allowing him to explore her deeper. He pulled her in closer and lifted her up. Her body relaxed even further, letting him take full control of her. She needed this, and she needed him. She never realized it as much as she did in this moment.

She dragged her hands up across his sides, feeling every chiseled ridge and ab. He nibbled on her lower lip as one of her hands ran across the stubble on his jaw, and the other moved through his freshly cut hair.

Her breaths were getting labored, and his kiss was getting more passionate. She threw her legs around him. He moved over to the sofa and sat down on it with her on top of him. She ground herself against him, feeling his cock throbbing and struggling in the tight constraints of the denim. Her body ached for it as she felt it pushing against through the layers of fabric. She grabbed her hair tie and threw it off, letting her hair fall freely, covering both their faces in a blanket of desire.

And then his phone rang, loud and abruptly, as if an engine piston blew while going down the highway. He groaned as she pulled her face away from his. He pulled out his phone, and she hoped that it was not important.

“Fuck!” he breathed out, both of them still breathing fast. He picked up the phone, “Hey boss. Yup, made it. Nothing much,” he looked up at her, smiling, “just settling in. Yeah, it’s awesome.” She smiled back him, and placed both hand on his chest, taking her time to feel his entire torso. She traced her fingers over the intricate tattoos on his arms, pulling down his shirt to see them meeting and peeking out of his collar. He brought his hand to her face, and she rested her cheek against it. His thumb slowly crawled across her lip and pulled it down, grinning at her as he continued the conversation with his president. God this man knew how to make her feel sexy.

His hand came down and cupped her breast, and he pinched the nipple through the bra and t-shirt. She let out a suppressed moan, and his eyes popped open in excitement. “No, its just me here right now. Yeah just watching some TV.” He continued teasing and playing with her, and she just wished that he would finish the damn call already, she couldn’t take this any longer.

“Right now? Like right now, right now? Everything ok?” She felt his body tense slightly, and saw a serious expression fall over his face. He took a deep breath in and threw his head up, motioning her to get off.

She got up off him, and landed next to him on the sofa, fixed her clothes and put her hair into a bun. She felt deflated, filled with desire but now hollow without his touch. It was a miserable feeling.

“Ok, I’ll leave now. K, see you in a bit.” He hung up the phone and looked over to her, upset, with his expression matching hers. “Sorry. It was Corey, and they need me at the club tonight.
