Back Road Chances (Roughneck #2)

by Nicole Hart

  “Fiend.” I giggled, as I sat up and grabbed my jeans.

  “Only for you,” he said.

  When we were dressed and back in the truck, I reached over and kissed Moon on the cheek. He smiled as he started his truck, grabbed my head and put in on his shoulder. Maybe I could do this after all.

  “Do you want me to take you home?” He asked, but kept his eyes on the road. My stomach twisted in knots. And not for the usual reason. I wasn’t trying to avoid this anymore. It was just going to take a minute. Diving head first into the pool wasn’t going to happen. I had to dip my toes in and get used to the temperature first. It’s just the way it had to be.

  “I have to work in the morning,” I said quietly.

  “Alright,” he said very nonchalant, but I think he was bluffing.

  “Soon, ok?” I whispered in his ear.

  He just nodded and stared straight ahead as he took a left and headed to my house.

  When we pulled into my driveway, Moon turned off his truck and opened the door. When we both hopped out, he grabbed me by the hands.

  “Can I just say something?” He looked at me and my heart started to pound harder.

  “Shoot,” I said with a calm voice.

  “Don’t let this,” He said, and put his finger on my temple “control this.” he pointed to my heart.

  “I’m gonna do by best,” I said truthfully. That’s all I could do.

  Moon wrapped his arms around me and put his lips on mine. My mouth immediately welcomed him. His tongue started caressing mine and his hands went to my ass. This was the easy part. The part I didn’t have any trouble with. The part I craved. I felt the familiar tingle between my legs. How could a simple kiss have that effect on me?

  “I can’t fucking get enough of you,” He whispered quietly. “It’s never enough,” he said, as he started kissing my neck. But then he pulled away and let out a loud exhale. Part of me was disappointed that he stopped. But the look on his face made me smile, and I felt a little devious. Damn, he was so cute.

  “What’s wrong?” I asked, as I grabbed a handful of his hair and put my tits against his chest.

  “You’re gonna kill me, you know that?” He said with a nervous laugh.

  “What am I doing?” I said as I rubbed against him and gave him my most innocent look. I loved this game.

  “You don’t have to do anything, baby, it’s just you,” he said, as he kissed my forehead.

  And another chunk fell to the ground. Shattered. I put my arms around his neck and planted a gentle kiss to his lips.

  “I’ll see ya later, Moon,” I said, as I squeezed his ass and started to walk into the house.

  “I’m going home to ice my nuts, just so you know,” he said with a laugh.

  I turned around and blew him a kiss before I opened my front door. He just shook his head and got in his truck.

  When I shut the door behind me, I couldn’t wipe the smile off my face. God, I really loved him.

  As I was getting ready for bed, I heard my phone go off.

  Moon: Have dinner with me tomorrow night?

  Me: Ok, sounds good

  Moon: I know you gotta get up early, get some sleep

  Me: About to, I need my beauty sleep ya know.

  Moon: You couldn’t get any more beautiful than you already are.

  Me: Stop, ur making me blush.

  Moon: Well you gave me blue balls, so we’re even.

  Me: Fucker

  Moon: Tease

  Me: Nighty night

  Moon: Night Sam

  The next morning, I accidentally overslept a little. That never happens. But I didn’t sleep for shit, so I wasn’t surprised. Once I was ready and had all my stuff together, I headed to the front door. I looked down to lock it and saw the single white rose sitting in front of the door. I looked around but there was no one in sight. The third day in a row, I could get used to this. I picked it up and walked back into the house. I stuck it in the vase with the other two and ran my fingers over the petals. Who knew Moon had a romantic side?

  As I was putting up my stuff in the break room at work, I saw Mackenzie walk in out of the corner of my eye. She threw her lunch in the refrigerator and slammed the door.

  “Damn girl, what’s wrong with you?” I asked with a little laugh.

  “Ugh, nothing,” she said. I looked in her direction and could see she had tears in her eyes.

  “Hey,” I said, and walked over to her. “Whose ass do I need to kick?”

  Mackenzie let out a little laugh as a single tear rolled down her cheek.

  “Jake’s just a prick sometimes,” she said, as she wiped the tear away and exhaled.

  “Do you wanna talk about it?” I asked. I liked Mackenzie. She was a little too bubbly sometimes and she was nicer to people than she should be, but I couldn’t fault her for it. It’s who she was.

  “I’m just sick of him acting like he’s my dad,” she said, as she walked over to the computer to clock in.

  “Oh,” I said. I didn’t know Jake very well, even though they had been together for almost a year. He was a pretty boy who didn’t say much. I knew he called her way too much anytime we went to the bar, or out to lunch. But Mackenzie always brushed it off, so I didn’t think much of it.

  “Anyway, I’m fine,” she said with a smile, as she turned around from the computer. I knew she didn’t mean it, it was written all over her face. But I wasn’t going to pry if she didn’t want to talk. I knew all too well how much that pissed me off, I wasn’t going to do that to her.

  “Ok, girl. Well, I’m here if you wanna talk,” I said.

  “Have you heard from Lainey?” She asked. Change of subject. I knew that tactic.

  “Not yet, hopefully she will call in the next couple of days. Jase probably has her pretty occupied,” I said with a wink.

  “She looked so beautiful at the wedding and so happy,” Mackenzie said with a smile. But she still seemed sad.

  “She looked gorgeous and she is happy. She deserves it after all the shit she’s been through,” I said.

  “Absolutely,” Mackenzie said, as she walked towards the door.

  I got a text from Moon as soon as I pulled into my driveway after work.

  Moon: Are you home yet?

  Me: Just pulled in

  Moon: How about I cook dinner instead of going out?

  Me: That sounds perfect, I’m tired.

  Moon: Not too tired I hope

  Me: You’ll still get laid, don’t worry

  Moon: Just making sure

  Me: What time do you want me to come over?

  Moon: ASAP

  Me: K, let me change and I’ll be there

  Moon: Hurry up

  Me: You and your demands

  Moon: That’s the way you like it

  Me: True

  When I got to Moon’s I knocked as I opened his front door. I didn’t see him anywhere but I could hear him in the kitchen. He was singing a Frank Foster song and my heart immediately melted. He didn’t sing very often in front of anyone, but his voice was amazing. The only time I heard it was when he would have a buzz and picked up his guitar. It was something I found totally sexy, even in high school. I never acted on it, but when he would pick and sing, I wanted to jump on him. Luckily now, I could act on it. In fact, it was necessary. I needed to touch him. So. Fucking. Sexy.

  “A heart like hers, it must be one of a kind. Yeah she’s my real woman, looks to kill, woman she’s mine,” he sang, as he stood in front of the stove.

  Holy Shit. I wanted to run up to him, and wrap my arms around him. But my legs wouldn’t move. His voice melted me. It was full of emotion and it almost dropped me to my knees, right there. I had to compose myself. He still didn’t know I was even here. I took a couple of deep breaths and forced my legs to move. As soon as I reached him I wrapped my arms around his waist and kissed the middle of his back. He stopped singing immediately.

  “Don’t stop.” I whispered into his back.

&nbs
p; “I didn’t hear you come in,” he said, as he turned around to face me.

  “You shouldn’t hide that voice, it’s fucking hot,” I said honestly.

  Moon just laughed and grabbed my chin as he brought his lips to mine.

  “I’ve been waiting to do that all day,” he said.

  “What else have you been waiting to do all day?” I asked, as I rubbed my hand over his cock. It immediately got hard.

  “Actually, I’ve been thinking you need that ass spanked for being a tease last night.” He said through gritted teeth, as he grabbed my ass hard.

  “I think I deserve it,” I said, as I rubbed up against him. The truth is I think I needed it. Rough sex with Moon was fucking hot.

  Moon turned me around so he was against my back. He unzipped my jeans and put his hand inside my panties.

  “So fucking sexy,” he whispered in my ear, as he rubbed my clit. I couldn’t help but moan and put my hand over his. Moon started to walk which forced my legs to move.

  “Bedroom. Now,” he said. I couldn’t get there fast enough.

  When we walked into his room, Moon led me to the bed.

  “Take those pants off,” Moon demanded. I did as I was told. Moon just watched me with a hungry gaze.

  “Turn around,” he said, and so I did.

  “T-backs. Fuck yeah. Keep those on” he said, as he caressed my ass. I couldn’t help but wiggle it in his direction.

  Moon started to kiss my neck as he reached around me and put his hand back inside my panties. Then he took both hands and pulled my shirt over my head. He turned me around to face him and then dropped to his knees. He started to kiss me on the outside of my panties and he grabbed both sides of my ass. My knees started to get weak and I tried to sit on the edge of the bed.

  “Don’t move.” Moon said, and I could feel his hot breath through my panties. I stayed standing but had to grab a hold of the headboard to keep it that way.

  “So fucking good,” Moon whispered, as he slid my panties to the side and started moving his tongue against my clit. Oh my God, it felt so good. He continued to drag his tongue from my panty line over my clit, in slow motion. It was too much. I couldn’t take much more. I grabbed a handful of his hair and couldn’t help but pull it. I felt the familiar tingle and knew I was getting close.

  “I’m gonna come, Moon,” I moaned. He moved his tongue away from me and looked up. Mother Fucker.

  “Moon, please,” I begged. I was so close, I needed this.

  Instead he stood up and kissed me hard.

  “Turn around,” he said. I almost giggled with excitement. I immediately bent over without Moon even asking. I knew what I wanted and so did he.

  He started rubbing my cheek in circular motions with the palm of his hand and then I felt the familiar sting. Fuck yes. The sting caused a hum through my body. It was intense and felt so good.

  “Yes,” I mumbled.

  “You like that?” Moon said, as he slapped my ass again.

  “Yes!” I said louder. I needed to come, this was too much.

  He spanked me once more and then I felt his hard cock rub against me. I couldn’t help but rub against it. I heard the wrapper tearing and I was shaking with anticipation. Moon entered me harder than usual and I couldn’t help but scream. He thrust into me over and over, harder and harder. After a few minutes, he slowed his pace and reached his hand around to rub my clit.

  “Yes,” I whispered, as he rubbed me. It only took a second before my orgasm consumed me. As soon as I was finished, Moon pulled out of me and sat on the bed. He straddled me across his lap as I took his cock inside me.

  “Fuck yes,” He said, as he stared into my eyes.

  “So fucking good, Sam,” he said, as he knotted my hair in his fist and forced me down on him harder.

  I knew he was getting close. Damn, he was so fucking sexy. It was almost more than I could handle. I watched his face as he got off and squeezed his eyes shut. The way his jaw flinched was so hot. Everything about him was hot. When he was finished he lay back on the bed and pulled me with him. We were slick with sweat and exhausted. And it was the best feeling in the world. Fuck me, there was no turning back. I raised my head and looked into Moon’s eyes. We just stared at each other and then he kissed my nose. I couldn’t help but giggle like a little girl and peck his lips, and then rested my head on his shoulder.

  “Holy Shit,” he said after a minute.

  “What?” I said.

  “You’re still here. You didn’t even try to escape,” he said with a laugh.

  “I guess the rules are changing,” I said, using the words he said a couple of days before.

  “It’s good to know you listen every once in a while,” he said with a smirk.

  “Yeah well, don’t get used to it.” I told him, as I poked him in the chest with my finger.

  We both started to laugh and then I thought I heard a scratching sound in the distance. I brushed it off, thinking I imagined it until I heard it again.

  “Do you hear that?” I asked.

  “Hear what?” Moon said, but I knew he did. I wasn’t crazy.

  “That scratching sound,” I said, as I put my hand over his mouth.

  He licked my hand and started to laugh when I jerked it away. Moon grabbed me around the waist and tossed me on the bed next to him.

  “Wait right here,” he said, as he started getting dressed.

  What was he up to? And what the hell was that noise? I still heard it.

  As I was getting dressed, I heard Moon whispering in a high-pitched voice. What the hell? He walked back into his bedroom holding the cutest puppy I have ever seen in my life. It was a Rottweiler and was only about six weeks old. It had the biggest head and paws and I wanted to pet it so bad I couldn’t stay still.

  “Oh my goodness!” I squealed, as I jumped off the bed and ran over to them.

  “Hi,” I said, and I rubbed that cute little furry head. “Oh you’re so cute,” I said through gritted teeth, as my hand got soaked with slobber. I was in love instantly. Lainey always said I liked animals better than most people; she was absolutely right. I looked up at Moon and he was just staring at me, smiling.

  “You got a dog?” I asked.

  “Well….,” he said and then hesitated. “I got you a dog.”

  “What?” I said, confused as I grabbed the puppy from Moon’s arms.

  “You need a dog. You haven’t had one since Tyson and I figured it was time.” My stomach dropped. Tyson was my dog I had for 12 years. My daddy bought him for me after the bitch left, something to occupy my mind I’m sure. I loved that dog. But he passed away a few years ago. He was old and had a good life, but it still hurt my feelings to think about him. My dad has been trying to convince me to get another one for a couple of years but the truth was I was worried about being responsible for something on my own. But one look at this little cutie and I knew that he was mine. There was nothing else to it. And the fact that Moon didn’t ask me if I wanted a dog, he let me know that I needed one made another piece of that wall crumble down.

  “Oh my God, I love him,” I giggled, as he licked my chin.

  “I knew you would,” Moon said, as he scratched the puppy behind the ears.

  “What are you gonna name him?” Moon asked.

  “I don’t know,” I said, as I stared at him, trying to figure out what his name should be.

  “It’ll come to ya,” Moon said.

  I put my free arm around Moon’s neck and planted a kiss on his lips.

  “Thank you,” I said.

  “You’re welcome darlin’,” He said with a wink.

  “Patch.” I said when it came to me.

  “Patch?” Moon asked, not knowing what I was talking about.

  “His name is Patch,” I said.

  “I think that’s perfect,” Moon said, and kissed me on the forehead.

  Three days later as I was getting ready for work, Patch was sitting at my feet; it was our morning ritual. His ears perked up an
d he let out a little growl and then a bark. He really was the cutest thing ever. I already knew what it was. He heard a sound outside. Once I got dressed, I walked over to the front door and opened it. And there it was, on day six, my single white rose sitting on the doorstep. I picked it up and put it in the vase with the others. A couple of them were starting to wilt but I didn’t care. I left them in the vase. I’m not sure why Moon was doing this, I hadn’t asked, I was just enjoying it. It was so sweet. As I was putting my shoes on my phone started to ring. I jogged to my bedroom and grabbed it off the nightstand. It was a strange number I didn’t recognize. But it was too early for a telemarketer so I answered.

  “Hello?” I said.

  “Sam!”

  “Lainey! Hey!” I hadn’t spoken to her since the wedding and I missed her. I wasn’t used to that. Since she left the douche last year, we had spoken every single day and rarely went two days without seeing each other.

  “How’s Fiji?” I asked.

  “It’s beautiful. Sam!” She squealed. I could practically feel her grinning through the phone.

  “What is it?” I giggled.

  “You’re not gonna believe this!” she said. I was almost convinced she was actually jumping up and down.

  “What? What?” I asked excitedly.

  “I’m pregnant!” She said, with more excitement than I ever thought possible.

  “Shut the fuck up!” I yelled. “No way!”

  “Yes! Oh my God, can you believe it?”

  “Are you ok? Did you go to the doctor? How did you find out?” I had a million questions, she better get to talking.

  “Ok, so I’ve been feeling kinda crappy. I was throwing up the morning of the wedding but I figured it was just nerves. Then I got sick again on the plane. Jase is actually the one who suspected it first. I was so preoccupied with wedding stuff, that I didn’t even realize I missed my period.”

  “Holy Shit,” I mumbled.

  “So Jase went on a hunt to find a pregnancy test once we got settled here. It took a while, but he did. And it was positive!” She squealed.

  “Did you go to the doctor?” I asked.

  “Yeah,” Lainey giggled. “Jase was determined to make sure everything was ok, so he made me go to the emergency room. I tried to convince him that we could wait until we got home but he wasn’t having it.”
