Royal Savage
Page 53Twenty minutes later, the motorcycle is running and Cole is slapping Royal on the back, thanking him.
“Holy fuck. Good shit.” Cole straddles the bike and revs the engine. “I’m going to take this shit for a test run,” he yells over the loud roar of the engine. “Be back.”
Royal backs up to let Cole drive past him and out the side door of the barn.
I smile at Royal as he cleans his hands off. “You did a great job.”
He tosses the rag aside. “My father used to work on bikes. He taught me everything he knew about them.”
“Well he did a damn good job,” I say.
“Thanks.” He smiles and nods his head for me to follow him.
We walk around to the back of the barn and stop when we reach an old tire swing. Holding it, he calls me over. “Come here.”
I laugh. “Alright. You going to push me on the swing?”
Yeah,” he responds. “Now get your beautiful ass on before I bite it.”
I pause to look back at him after getting one leg through it. “Is that supposed to scare me?” I stick my second leg through and grab onto the rope. “Because nothing in the bedroom can scare me after what you did to me in the middle of the night.” I smile from the memory of me waking up in the middle of the night to him finger fucking me. We didn’t sleep much after that.
“It got you turned on though, didn’t it,” he says while giving me a push. “And I can do a lot more fucking damage to your body than I did last night. Never doubt me.”
I laugh and grip onto the rope as Royal starts spinning the tire, winding the rope up.
“Woah! That’s tight enough.”
He releases the tire and it starts spinning so fast that I can barely hang on, yet I can’t stop laughing as I fight to keep my head up.
As it slows down, I catch glimpses of Royal watching me in satisfaction.
“Did you enjoy me screaming my head off?” I tease, when it stops.
He grabs the top of the rope and pulls me to him. “Oh . . . you were laughing your head off. You loved it.” Leaning in, he runs his tongue over my lips, before slipping it inside my mouth and swirling it around my tongue.
The indescribable feeling of my heart about to beat out of my chest takes over and I find myself gripping the rope even tighter, afraid that I’ll faint and fall off.
This man truly has no idea what he does to me. I don’t even know what he does, but I love it.
“Hey!” Cole runs out from the barn. “She runs like a beast. Damn, Man. I owe you.”
Royal grabs my hand and helps me out of the tire. “You want to meet me in the truck? I want to check on him before I leave.”
I nod my head. “Of course.” I smile over at Cole. “It was great meeting you.”
“Hey, you too.” He watches me as I walk away, before turning back to Royal.
I’m in the truck for about five minutes before Royal jumps into the driver’s side and instantly grabs for my hand, pulling it into his lap.
“Is everything okay with Cole then?”
“He’s good,” he responds. “He’s getting by.”
“Yeah, sure.” I dig into his pocket as he leans up for me to be able to get my hand inside.
I hit connect and hold it out to him.
“Take the call for me,” he says. “I’m not going to talk and drive when I have you in my truck.”
Feeling a bit awkward, I hold the phone to my ear. “Hello.”
“Hey,” Jax says into the phone. “Royal driving you?”
“Yeah,” I respond. “We just left Cole’s.”
“Good,” he says. “That’s real good. Hey. Tell Royal that his appointment is here and I have them set up in his chair already. Kay?”
“I’ll let him know, Jax.”
“Thanks, Babe.”
With that, he hangs up.
“Jax said your appointment is waiting on you.”
“Oh fuck!” He grips the steering wheel. “I forgot all about that shit.” He grabs his phone from my hand and tosses it in my seat. “You good for the day?”
I smile and nod my head as he grabs my hand. “Yeah, I’m good. I could use some rest before work. The stupid owner stops by every Thursday. She’s sort of a cunt sometimes.”
I lean in and run my fingers over his face. He grabs my hand and his eyes meet mine. “I’ll wait for you,” I say. “Thanks for breakfast.”
He grabs my hand and kisses it. “Alright.”
I jump out of his truck and stand on the porch, watching as he drives away.
What am I going to do about this man? I’ve completely fallen for him . . .
Royal: How’s work, baby? You busy?
SMILING, I SET MY HALF eaten chicken sandwich down and respond to the message that Royal sent about twenty minutes ago.
I wanted to check my phone as soon as I felt it vibrate in my pocket, but Claudette has been around all day watching us all like a hawk. I’m doing my best to stay on her good side so hopefully she will cut her visits down to twice a damn month.
Avalon: It’s been pretty boring. The customers know to stay away on Thursdays when the evil bitch is lurking around. I’m actually ready to pull my hair out from boredom. You?
I pick up my sandwich and continue to eat it, while waiting for his response. This damn sandwich has been the most action that has happened since I walked through the door four hours ago. Madison is lucky she got the morning shift. What I wouldn’t have done to switch with her.
Royal: You know the boys. Never a dull moment here. No windows broken yet, and no one has gotten choked out. Pretty fucking tame compared to some days.
I respond to his message, while laughing to myself. I almost feel sad that I’m not there with them . . . like I’m missing something. I’ve found myself wanting to hang around his friends more and more with each day. I feel like they’re the norm for me now.
