Shade(103)
The members began splitting up, going to different games and playing. The brothers went to the shooting game, while Lily and the women moved on to another game, shooting water into a clown’s mouth. She won and began jumping up and down, laughing.
After two more races, Lily earned a prize, picking a purple monkey, and the man behind the counter handed it to Lily.
“Here you go.” Lily handed it to Beth.
“Don’t you want it?” Beth protested.
“You’re the one who likes stuffed animals.”
Beth’s face was confused as she took it from Lily. Shade had to walk away from the group, returning to watch the men shoot while staying close enough to keep an eye on the women.
Gaige had destroyed something Lily had let herself want; as a result, she was giving the stuffed animal away before it was taken from her. Shade knew it was what she was used to happening.
With the game over, the women came back to watch the men. While Train and Rider were shooting at the targets, Shade stood next to Viper, both watching.#p#分页标题#e#
“Why don’t you take a turn, Shade?” Bliss asked loudly.
Shade shot her a look, which the small woman had no trouble understanding. Bliss was walking a fine line with him. She had been with the club long enough to have heard what job he had held in the military. She was trying to expose club secrets. He was growing tired of her attempts to draw his attention.
He felt Lily’s angry stare at him and knew she didn’t like that he wasn’t friendlier with Bliss. Fuck, if she knew the truth about their past, she would understand Bliss was playing games she had no chance of winning.
“Let’s go ride the bumper cars,” Bliss suggested.
The Last Riders made their way through the fair, stopping and riding a few rides and playing several more games. Then they all came to a stop at the ride where they would get on a seat and go to the top and then be released to swing in a large circle.
“I’m going to go get something to drink,” Lily told Beth, who was standing in line with Razer.
Shade, in line behind them, wasn’t surprised Lily wasn’t going to ride. He stood in line, keeping watch as she went to a food truck where she bought a drink and cotton candy then took a seat at one of the tables.
Shade got out of line.
“You want me to hold your place?” Razer asked with a snicker.
“Fuck you.” Shade moved away.
He saw Beth burry her face in Razer’s chest, her shoulders shaking. Those two had a warped sense of humor.
As he approached, Lily was delicately licking the sugar crystals from her lips.
Shade sat down on the bench next to her. “You don’t want to ride?”
“Not that one, I don’t,” Lily replied, smiling.
Shade surmised the cotton candy had put her in a better mood. It sure as fuck was doing things to him.
She sat, eating her candy as The Last Riders got on their ride. Lily watched them while he watched her eat the sticky confection with his cock steadfastly reminding him it hadn’t had a woman’s mouth on it in three months.
She looked at him inquiringly when he shifted closer to her. His eyes dropped to her tiny pink tongue as it swept the sugar crystals from her bottom lip. He was about to take the job over for her when she turned away, taking a drink of her soda.
A smile came to her lips.
“What are you thinking?” Shade asked.
She turned to him with a start, giving him a sweet smile. “I was just thinking how happy everyone looked, like they belong together. I can see you all care about each other.”
Shade turned to where she was staring. The Last Riders had gotten off the ride and were approaching, laughing and having a good time. He faced her again. He would rather watch her eat the cotton candy.
She tore another piece of the spun candy off. “You shouldn’t be so hard on Bliss. I think she has a thing for you,” Lily said, raising the confection to her lips.
Unable to take the temptation any longer, Shade’s hand snapped out, catching her wrist in a hard grasp.
“What did I tell you about me not being your BFF? Bliss knows exactly what I feel for her.” Shade brought her hand to his mouth where his tongue licked her fingers, taking the sugar off, and Lily shuddered, her eyes darkening.
Jerking her hand from his, she avoided his eyes. Then she got to her feet and dumped the cotton candy as well as the drink into the trashcan before making a beeline straight for Beth’s side.
Shade watched her run to Beth for safety with a small smile on his lips, the taste of her still in his mouth. Her attraction to him was growing, and he planned on fanning that particular fire until it became all she could think about. Until her desire became stronger than her fear.#p#分页标题#e#
