Inferno：A Devil Chaser’s MC Romance(14)
“What do you mean? I talk to him all the time. The kid never stops talking.”
“I don’t know. He seems so happy one minute, and then something sets him off and he loses his temper. Sometimes he seems so withdrawn in class, like he has a lot on his mind. I was just wondering if you had any idea why.”
“I guess he’s like his dad,” Bishop shrugged.
“I think there may be more to it than that,” Tessa said apprehensively. “Have you considered letting him talk to someone? Maybe talking to a counselor would help.”
Bishop stood up quickly as his body filled with tension. “You’re kidding me, right? All boys get pissed off about one thing or another. Myles is no different than any other kid!” Bishop shouted, turning to leave.
“Wait! You’re taking this the wrong way,” Tessa shouted with concern in her voice. “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have brought it up like this. Myles is such a great kid, and I was only trying to help him. I don’t know what I was thinking. Really. I’m just worried about him.”
Tessa reached out and grabbed his arm and said, “Please, don’t go.” Her face pleaded with him to understand.
He immediately felt a loss of self-control. She looked so beautiful at that moment, and he just couldn’t help himself. The day that had been filled with so many emotions finally caught up with him, and she was his escape. He took a step toward her and slid his arm behind her waist, pulling her closer to him. Her body fit perfectly against his tall frame. He placed his hand against the brick wall behind her and leaned in close. He spoke quietly, his warm breath near her ear. “I get it. You’re right. I’m worried about him, too. I like that you care about my kid.”
He moved his lips closer to her earlobe as he said, “I also like how your arms felt around me when you were on the back of my bike. And I like how I haven’t been able to get you and those damn skirts out of my head. Now,” he continued as he moved his body closer to her, “I’m about to kiss you. I’ve wanted to taste those lips since that first day in your classroom, and I’m tired of waiting.” The grit of the brick marked his hand as he leaned in and claimed her mouth. She pressed her breasts against his chest and submitted to the kiss. The taste of the beer still clung to her lips, and the smell of her strawberry shampoo had him reaching for her hair. When her tongue met his, it sent a shock straight to his cock. He couldn’t help the growing bulge in his jeans. This woman had him twisted in knots. Her body was made for his, and he couldn’t get enough.
When she noticed his arousal, she quickly pulled away from him. She placed her hand on his chest and said, “We need to stop, Bishop. There are so many reasons why this is wrong.”
He stepped closer, closing the gap she created. “I know you feel just how right this is.”
Her hands quickly swept across the back of his neck. She pulled him in closer as she whispered, “I don’t want to feel it, but I do.” She gently ran her fingers through the back of his hair as she began kissing him again. She moved her body closer as she moaned into the kiss and his knee pressed between her legs. His hand was cupping her breast, when his cell phone rang. He ignored it and continued rubbing his thumb over her taut nipple. She arched her back towards him as he began to pull the strap of her tank down her shoulder. He had just started to kiss and suck the curve of her neck when his phone began ringing again. He groaned loudly as he pulled away from her body. “Goddamn it!”
He looked up at Tessa as she gave him a frustrated look. “Sorry, but I gotta take this call. It’s late, and something might be up with one of the brothers.” When he checked his phone, he saw that it was Goliath calling. “This better be good, man!”
“We need ya back at the clubhouse. Get back here as soon as you can,” Goliath said.
“On my way,” Bishop told him as he thrust his phone into his pocket. His fiery eyes locked on Tessa’s. “I hate to leave you like this, but something is going down at the clubhouse that I have to take care of. I’ll have one of my guys take care of your car first thing in the morning. Get some rest, and I’ll be in touch.” He gave her one more kiss, slow and hungry, and then left for the clubhouse.
Chapter 10
Tessa
Tessa gathered the empty beer bottles from the porch and headed into the house. The past few minutes were still replaying in her head. As she made her way into the kitchen, her mind kept wandering back to how good his mouth felt on hers. It amazed her how quickly things had become so heated between them.
