Repair Me (Kin #1)(20)
Author: Jennifer Foor

Mack wiped the blood from his lip. He pointed to Ford, while looking at me. “This is what you want? This loser?”

“I don’t want you, Mack. Get it through your head!” I grabbed Ford’s hand and led him out to the road where he was parked. It took us only a few seconds to pull away from the curb and get the hell out of there.

“What was that?”

“I have no idea! I didn’t even see any of my friends. He was just sitting there waiting for me. I guess they were at the beach or a club.”

He held up my purse. “You forgot this. I was just bringin’ it by.”

I grabbed my purse and held it against my chest. “Thank God I did. I would have been walking home.”

“I think it’s time we exchanged numbers. You know, just in case you’re in town, or you need a bodyguard,” He teased.

I shoved him. “Oh, shut up! I can handle my own problems just fine!”

“Obviously!” He pulled into a motel and I wasn’t sure what was happening. Once the truck was in park, he turned off the ignition and looked over at me. “Here’s how I see it. You don’t want to go back to your friends and since my ex is with mine, I don’t feel like goin’ there either. I think that we should get a room for the night and spend tomorrow on the beach away from anyone we might know. What do you say?”

I shrugged. “I don’t know. I hardly know you. What if you try to rape me or something?”

He leaned over and kissed me. “What if I do?” He brought his lips to my ear. “It isn’t rape if you willingly give it to me, which I know you want to.”

He was right. I couldn’t get enough of him. There was nothing that I wanted more than to be naked in bed with him. “I think that spending the day together is a great idea.”

He laughed and kissed my neck. “And what about the night?”

I giggled. “Are you trying to get into my pants?”

“I’ve already been there, darlin’. If I want to do that, it will happen without a fight, I can assure you that.”

Ford jumped out of his truck and headed toward the main office, while I sat there wondering how in the world all of this was happening to me. All along I’d wanted to take this trip to get away from my ex and he’d been here waiting for me.

Along the way, I’d met Ford, who was beyond amazing at being sexy and a lover. The more I was around him, the more emotionally attracted to him I was becoming. It was dangerous for me, considering that we’d both been in serious relationships and this was obviously rebounding at its best. I’d just met the guy and already I was having these feelings like I wanted to explore making it something more.

It didn’t help that he’d just rescued me from a terrible situation and now he was avoiding his own ex to spend time with me, the person who was a stranger days ago. It was all too confusing and without the nerve to ask him about it, I just wasn’t sure what I needed to do.

The right thing would have been not to have slept with him the first time, or the second, or third. Now, it was too late to take things back, or to stop myself from wanting all that he was willing to give.

Finally, I’d come to the conclusion that I was just going to ride it out. Ford was offering me a good time and I was going to ride it for as long as he was giving it, literally.

When he came back out, he held up a key card to the room. “Do you want to get food now, or wait until we shower together?”

I like how he just assumed I was up for anything. He was so right! “I say we shower and see where we are when we’re done. We could always order delivery and eat naked,” I teased.

Ford shook his head and unlocked the door, holding it open as I followed him in. The room was an average motel room. One queen sized bed with a dresser and television across from it. A small round table was in the corner, with two chairs and the bathroom was in the back. Ford sat his bag down on the floor and grabbed me by the waist of my pants, pulling me into his chest. He moved the hair away from my face and tucked it behind my ear. “What am I goin’ to do with you, Sky?”

“What do you mean?”

He smiled and kissed my forehead. “I never saw you comin’.”

“I surely didn’t plan on breaking down on the side of the road and sleeping with a stranger, if that’s what you’re implying.”

“I never forced you!”

I pulled myself out of his arms and sat down on the bed. “No, you’re right, you didn’t force me. I slept with you because you gave me an offer that I couldn’t refuse. I wanted to forget, to be able to heal. Maybe that was wrong, but it’s working.”

He kneeled down in front of me and ran his hands up my thighs, going under my shorts and up to my panties. “It’s workin’ for me, too. When I’m with you, I’m not thinkin’ about my pathetic life. All I’m thinkin’ about is pleasin’ you. You’re an addiction that I could get used to havin’ around.”

I kissed him slowly, taking my time and letting our tongues touch. If there were some way to make something out of this, I say, go for it.

I pulled away. “We live too far apart. I have school and your life is somewhere else. All we have is now and you know it. Sure, our paths could cross at some point, but I highly doubt that will happen. We’ll get back to our lives and forget all about keeping in touch.”

He sat back on his heals and just looked at me. “I guess since we’ve got this extra time together, we should take advantage of it, since it’s all we’re ever goin’ to get.”

I could swear that he seemed sad about what I’d said, but I didn’t know him well enough to make that decision and be positive about it. Plus, I was too embarrassed to admit that I would have driven to that dead ass town every single weekend if it gave me the chance to be with him again and to feel what only he’d ever been able to do to me.

“I guess you’re right!”

He stood up and removed his shirt, then his shoes, kicking them off in the corner. While taking off his pants, he turned to me. “How about that shower?”

I smiled, still feeling a bit sad that this was going to have to end at some point. Just knowing that gave me the will to stand up and begin stripping. I didn’t want to waste a single second that we had together.

When Ford had removed all of his clothes, he just stood there watching me remove mine. His eyes were so focused on my assets that it was making me hot in all the right places. He bit down on his lip while I pulled off my panties and stood there for him to admire. He folded his arms across his chest. “Do you even know how sexy you are?”
