Come Ride With Me: Platinum Ryders MC,
p.12
“But now you do?” she asked, her tongue snaking out to brush over those sinfully full lips. “Now, you want something with me…your um, boss?”
He chuckled then because that had also been a surprise. His mother always used to say, “If you wanna make God laugh, make plans.” Nash hadn’t known what that meant until right this moment.
“Well,” he said closing the last bit of space between them. “That was something else I planned to be honest with you about.”
“Oh?” The hint of surprise and was that disappointment, in her eyes shot straight through his chest and landed with a heated punch to his heart.
“I’m leaving Bellamy Motors,” he said. “Got a job offer from the Blackbond Group as an executive director in their design department.”
Now her eyes were alight with happiness, her arms fell from her chest and she lifted them like she was going to come in for hug, but then dropped them suddenly. “Oh, wow! That’s, ah, that’s great, Nash. I know that’s always what you wanted to do.”
He nodded. “Yeah, it is. But there’s something else I want…no, I need to do.”
“What—”
The rest of that question died on her lips the moment he reached out to grasp the front of her neck. His other hand went around her waist and he pulled her to him and his mouth slammed over hers.
Just like each time their lips had touched there were sparks and heat licking against every inch of him. He couldn’t get enough of her, not of her taste, her scent, her body against his, her logical mind and those fuckin’ pretty ass eyes. She was everything he’d been afraid to wish for, everything he didn’t know he needed, until now.
Her arms had immediately gone around his waist, hugging him to her as she tilted her head and returned the feverish kiss lick for tantalizing lick. It didn’t matter that they were standing in the middle of the sidewalk on a chilly day. Nor did it matter that his brother was a thief and she had rightfully inherited the dealership he’d once thought would be his. Nothing mattered at this moment, except them.
“Well,” she breathed the word when they finally pulled apart.
He still held her. Still had one hand on her ass and the other on her neck in a way he found she enjoyed when they were in bed. And she was still the most beautiful woman he’d ever seen as he stared down at her and asked, “Well, what?”
She gave him a slow smile. “Well, I guess we should get off this sidewalk if that kiss is leading where I think it is.”
He grinned and cupped her ass this time. “Where do you want this kiss to lead, joli fille?”
Her smile spread wider. “Back to your apartment, or my house,” she said.
“Oooohh, I can go to your house now? Because, if I recall, you ran away from me when I suggested taking you to your house before,” he said, humor filling his tone.
“Yeah, I did,” she said. “But now you know why that was. I also inherited my father’s house.”
And he knew that was a pretty nice house. It was the type of house Nash had never imagined living in again, especially not with a family of his own. But staring down at this woman, holding her in his arms and thinking about the fabulous career he was about to embark on had him daring to dream for once.
“I know that house,” he said. “And I’d be happy to take you there and see where these kisses will lead.”
“You would?” she asked.
He leaned in to suck her bottom lip into his mouth before he quickly released it and said, “Uh huh.”
“Then let’s go,” she replied. “My car’s right up the street. I can meet you there.”
“Nah,” Nash said, dragging his tongue over that plump bottom lip again. “I want you with me, Mica.”
She pulled back a little to stare at him in question. “I am coming with you.”
Nash shook his head and moved to take her hand. “No. I want you to come ride with me, baby.”
Her grin spread wider now and she nodded happily. “Yes. I’ll ride with you.”
Author’s Note
Finished? Did you enjoy Mica & Nash’s story? Yay! Please leave a review.
If you didn’t enjoy it, that’s cool too. No review necessary, lol
But seriously, as I stated at the opening, the Platinum Ryders was a series of four novellas I’d planned to do a while ago, but other projects became priority. Now, though, I thought this was the perfect time to bring them back to the forefront as Fury will play a role in my upcoming release—CADE, the final book in the Donovan Dynasty series. And since Fury will be getting more time on the page, it seems only fair that his Ryders get some time as well. So, be sure to sign up for my newsletter (https://acarthur.com/contact/) to be notified as soon as the next novella in this series is available next year. I know, that seems like a long time away, but it’ll be worth it. I promise. 😊
