Jekyll clenched his jaw, gripped her hair in a tight fist, and rocked his hips. Fuck, I needed this!
She didn’t even pull back. She sucked harder, and he lurched forward, coming down her throat. He dropped back on the bed, catching his breath and enjoying the release. It was short-lived. Her nails trailed down his thighs, and his muscles tightened.
He was done.
When he sat up, she immediately stood, inching away, allowing him to stand and pull up his jeans and buckle them. He drove his hand over his shaved head and gave her his back.
“I was thinking maybe I could stay tonight.”
Most women knew how he operated. This one clearly did not.
Jekyll squared his jaw, shifting around slowly with his glare locked in place and remained silent.
“Or maybe you want to come back to my place? I have roommates, but they won’t mind.” She hooked her thumb over her shoulder. “I’m in Birch, only twenty minutes away. What do you say?”
“No.”
Her smiled faltered. “What about tomorrow or…”
“No,” Jekyll snapped.
She laughed without an ounce of humor, jerking her gaze to his bed. “But we just…”
Fucking hell. He should’ve known better. She wasn’t a club whore. Every so often they had women come to party with their friends. Jekyll had clocked it the minute she came up to talk to him. He should’ve walked away, but she looked good and was down to fuck. It should’ve been that simple.
“We fucked, you sucked my cock, and I came down your throat. That’s it.”
She gasped, and her brows dipped. “That’s an asshole thing to say.”
What the fuck?
“It’s the truth.”
She scoffed, grabbed her clothes from the floor, and quickly got dressed. “Yeah, well I guess I thought you’d be a decent guy and not a jerk.”
He spread out his arms. “What is it about me that gave you the fucking impression I’m anything but an asshole?”
She scanned his face and down to his chest. “Well, you can at least try to be a little nice.”
“Why the hell would I do that? For you?” His brows shot up. “You got naked less than fifteen minutes after introductions, and somehow you thought this was the beginning of a relationship?”
“You’re a dick!”
He gave a curt nod. “Yeah, I am. And you shouldn’t fuck men you don’t know.”
She turned her back, pulled up her jeans, and mumbled incoherently. Jekyll folded his arms and leaned against the wall. His room at the clubhouse was bare of any of his belongings. He’d fully moved to the house out back a few months ago. Ace asked about him giving up his room for a prospect close to patching in. Jekyll refused. He was still making use of his room. Nightly.
Bringing women into his house was out of the question and off the table. It was his sanctuary. The first real semblance of a home. Growing up, he’d had two dozen addresses and none of them impressive. As he’d entered his teens, he’d no longer bothered unpacking. What was the point? Living out of his duffle bag was easier when they’d only had two hours to escape the raids.
Jekyll waited for her to grab her bag from the floor, aggressively hooking it over her shoulder. She whipped around, waving her hand. Fuck no. He charged forward, stopping only a few feet from her. Her eyes widened, and she stumbled back.
“Don’t ever fucking point your finger at me.”
Jekyll had spent the last two years living under someone else’s thumb, abiding by rules, and being told when he could eat, sleep, and shit. Those days were over, and he’d be damned if an entitled stranger thought she could dictate anything in his territory. “And don’t think I’m going to listen to any more of your bitching. You willingly came to my room, got naked, and had no complaints when you were coming all over my cock. You’re pissed ’cause I ain’t gonna take you out to dinner?” He reached in his back pocket, pulled out his wallet, and flipped it open. He grabbed a twenty and twisted it between his fingers. “Go buy yourself a fucking burger and a bullshit latte.”
Jekyll waited while she dropped her gaze to the floor, slowly scooting past him. He was seconds from lowering his hand when she snatched the twenty, bolted to the door, swung it open, and disappeared into the hall.
