Chapter 17

TAYLA

I woke up at nine in the morning, a deliberate move to avoid Logan. His harsh words from the night before still stung.

“Why would you leave your abusive boyfriend to go mess with the likes of the Raffiel?” he had yelled at me.

“And what makes you think they would abuse me?” I shot back.

Jess and Logan had warned me about the Raffiels, saying they used women and would only hurt me. Logan didn’t want to see me get hurt.

I had yelled back that it was none of his business and stormed upstairs to my room.

And then Walker was there.

He was at my window with a box of milk tray, and I saw in his eyes that he wanted more from me than just sex.

Even when I offered it to him right there and then and he turned me down, I knew.

Hayden and Walker might be bad boys, but I wanted them.

I wanted the dark side, the possession, and the heat they stirred within me.

Feeling a rush of excitement, I hopped out of bed and took a quick shower before dressing in leggings and a simple t-shirt.

I packed a small bag with clothes to change into after my cleaning shift, and this time, I left Logan's phone on the kitchen counter.

Screw him and his overprotective ways.

He was my cousin, not my dad!

Grabbing my spare key, I left the house at half-past ten and walked to Walker's house.

At the gate, I screamed when Hayden jumped out and scared me.

“Morning, baby girl,” he said, grinning.

“You jerk!” I retorted.

He opened the gate and let me in, trailing behind me up to the house.

The front door was open, and I walked in without an invitation, Hayden following me inside.

In the kitchen, I placed my bag on the island when I felt Hayden step behind me.

“We had an agreement where I could clean and not get molested by any of you,” I reminded him.

His mouth came to my ear, and he blew his warm breath over it, making me shiver.

“I never agreed to such a thing,” he murmured.

I turned around to face him, giving him the chance to press me against the counter and capture my lips with his.

I moaned into his mouth as his hands slipped around my waist, holding me against him tightly.

My hands clenched in his shirt as I clung to him, our kiss growing more passionate.

Fire roared inside me and a heartbeat began to pulse between my legs.

He pulled his lips from mine and stared into my eyes.

“Do you want to know a secret?” he whispered.

I nodded, breathless.

“I spent the morning cleaning up the whole place so you could spend the whole day with us.”

My mouth dropped open as Walker stepped out of the shadows and approached us.

“It’s the only time Hayden here has ever wanted to clean,” he chuckled.

Both men were wearing jeans and t-shirts and I could tell they had showered.

I bit my lip.

“So, what do you think we should do all day?”

“Oh, I could think of a few things,” Hayden said, pressing his erection into my stomach.

“I want to take my bike out for a spin and I thought I could take Tayla with me for a ride?” Walker suggested.

“A bike ride sounds great,” I agreed as Hayden stepped away from me.

“I'll bring her back in time for lunch, which gives you a chance to impress her with your cooking skills,” Walker teased.

Hayden flipped him off as he stepped forward and took my arm.

“Are we talking about a motorcycle here?” I asked.

Walker nodded and led me to the garage door.

“I've never been on one,” I confessed.

“I have a helmet for you, and you can wear my leather jacket.”

Walker opened the garage door and reversed his jeep out so he could walk his bike out the front.

He helped me put on a helmet and zipped me up in his jacket.

It smelled of his aftershave and made a noise whenever I moved in it.

Walker looked me up and down and grinned.

“I am going to have to fuck you in just my jacket, little one,” he told me.

Slipping on his helmet, I followed him over to his bike and watched him climb on.

He patted the seat behind him and beckoned me over.

“I'm not so sure about this?” I admitted, feeling nervous.

“Trust me. You'll love it.”

I figured I might as well get used to this if I was going to be his girl.

Biting my lip, I climbed on and held on to Walker’s waist tightly.

He started the engine, and we rolled down the driveway where the gates opened, and we gently moved through.

This wasn’t so bad.

Turning onto the road, he revved his engine and then shot forward.

I clung to him and rested my head on his back as he maneuvered through traffic and turned down streets confidently.

Reaching a road that led out of town, I noticed it ran the length of the shore and relaxed as he drove along it.

The air was fresh, and I could feel the purr of the engine tickle me between my legs.

Taking a road that led up a cliff, he raced up to the top and pulled up.

It was a picnic area with wooden benches and tables.

We climbed off the bike and Walker dropped an arm over my shoulders and led me over to the cliff to see the view.

It was breathtaking.

You could see the whole town below and out to sea.

Gulls flew above us, and a slight wind blew by.

“I own all of this,” he told me.

“You don’t actually own it, do you?” I said, laughing.

He raised an eyebrow at me.

“How can you own a whole town?”

He shrugged his shoulders.

“You find its weakness. This town runs on money. Nearly everyone here is money mad and can be bought for a price.”

“Are you money mad?” I asked him.

He shook his head.

“Perhaps power mad?” he suggested.

“Or insane mad?” I laughed.

He stepped closer to me and lifted my chin up with his finger.

“I’m mad about you, little one,” he told me.

His lips brushed mine and I closed my eyes, and he deepened the kiss.

The sound of his leather jacket creaking filled the air as I moved closer, wrapping my arms around his neck.

His hands traced a path down my back before settling on my bottom, giving it a firm squeeze.

I broke away from our kiss, looking deep into his eyes.

“What does it mean to be with both you and Hayden? How would that even work?”

He flashed me a smile, taking my hand and leading me to a wooden table.

He hopped onto the table, pulling me between his legs. His arms wrapped around my back, pulling me closer.

“You’d basically be our girlfriend,” he explained.

“And the sleeping arrangements?”

“You can choose if you want to sleep in my room or Hayden’s. Sometimes, we can all sleep together. Whatever you’re comfortable with.”

“And where does sex fit into all this?”

“Are you a virgin?” he asked.

“Hell no, but I’ve never had a threesome before,” I admitted.

His eyes darkened, his lips brushing against mine.

“Well then, little one, you’re in for a treat,” he said, a grin spreading across his face.

A wave of heat washed over me, and I could feel my pussy starting to get wet.

I felt like I was melting from the inside out.

I leaned forward, kissing him hard and pushing him onto his back on the table. I climbed up, straddling his hips.

I ground my crotch against his growing cock beneath me, eliciting a moan from him.

“Don’t tease me too much, or I’ll fuck you right here on this table,” he warned.

“Maybe that’s what I want,” I countered.

“Now that’s something I wouldn’t mind watching!”

I quickly scrambled off Walker, standing up to face the newcomer.

It was the man Walker had called Townie.

“I thought you weren’t staying in town,” Walker growled.

The blond man glanced at me, a smile playing on his lips.

“I think I might stick around. I’ve found something worth staying for.”

He licked his bottom lip, winking at me.

“She’s mine!”
