Side Show Rumble (Lust and Chrome duet Book 2) Read online

  I smack him on the shoulder and smile.

  “I missed you too jerk.”

  “Alright enough of this, now what the hell are you doing? I was walking to Lux’s and here you are in some random garage and when Lux said she thought she saw you at the stadium, I thought for sure she was mistaken.”

  So, it was Lux that was calling my name. Damn her for even saying anything.

  “Yeah I was there I wanted to see you and Asher... without actually seeing you or Asher” I laugh lightly.

  “Well it’s a great surprise whether you wanted it to happen or not. There’s something I should tell you though. Asher was standing there when Lux mentioned seeing you and he’s coming over to Lux’s house any minute.”

  “Fuck don’t say I’m here yet, please let me have a couple of more days.”

  Before Reese can respond,

  “Hey man what are you doing over here?”

  As Reese steps to the side, there he is, standing right in front of me. He looks leaner, but added on more muscle, which make my jaw drop as my eyes roam all over his well sculpted body.

  Wow, what some free time can do to the body is amazing.

  Before I can say anything, Asher is already talking.

  “Holy shit. What’s going on here? Sloane? What are you doing here?” Asher asks sounding confused and rightly so.

  “Hey Asher.” I say so quietly even I barely heard myself.

  My cheeks flush with color and suddenly it feels like I can’t breathe as my heart takes off with great speeds borderline to a heart attack.

  Damn if I don’t have it bad for him this proves otherwise.

  Chapter Three

  Asher

  When Lux was telling Reese that she swore that she saw Sloane at the stadium today I easily dismissed the thought, thinking there was no way she was coming back so soon. However, as I stand in some stranger’s driveway seeing Reese talk to the woman who’s been avoiding me for far too long now, it all seems unreal.

  The mixed emotions I have swirling around in my head have me almost light-headed.

  What kind of fucked up shit is this.

  One thing is for certain my feelings for her are as strong as ever and seeing Sloane covered in oil, grease and sweat only makes my cock hard.

  All I want to do is shake her senseless. Then spank that ass cherry red while getting that sweet pussy dripping so I can get my dick wet, but that’s all not a good idea since Reese is standing right here.

  “Sloane?” Is all I can manage to say as I see her beautiful face staring at me with complete shock.

  “Asher... I...” she says.

  I don’t let her stumble over what she needs to say. In two quick steps I’m at her feet with my arms wrapping around her waist as I pull her to me. She melts in my arms and wraps herself around me as she begins to apologize. I hush her instantly with my mouth crashing down on her cherry Chapstick covered lips. I don’t want to hear anything she has to say at the moment, all I want is to feel her, taste her and get completely lost in her.

  Our kiss turns heated and my hands begin to explore her curves but suddenly a cough comes from behind us, it’s Reese. Which is like getting a cold bucket of water dumped over my head, we’re not alone. That’s how easy it is to get carried away with this woman.

  I set Sloane down on her feet giving her a couple more soft kisses before turning to Reese.

  “Sorry man.” Is all I say but hold Sloane to me as if she may disappear at any moment.

  “I’m going to let you two talk and head over to Lux’s, but Sloane you need to come home. You don’t need to be hiding out in some Airbnb.” He rolls his eyes and starts to walk away before turning back to us to add, “Oh and yeah we’re going to your graduation so deal with it. Dad will be there too, plus mom and the grandparents." He laughs as this may be an inside joke

  “Oh, great, the whole family. This is going to be terrible.” Sloane says.

  “What’s wrong with having your whole family with you to celebrate your achievements?” I’m missing something here that’s for sure.

  “Well if you’re coming, you’ll get to witness exactly why it’s all kinds of wrong.”

  “Oh, you’re going to let me be a part of watching you graduate?” I’m trying not to sound like an asshole but my tone and slight bitterness won’t let me be anything less.

  She hangs her head and I instantly regret my tone.

  “Hey,” I say as I lift her chin so I can see her beautiful blue eyes, “I wouldn’t miss it but we need to talk and clear some shit up.”

  There’s no way I’m not clearing the air of what she did and what I said to her. I’ve been into this girl since we were kids and she was just a face with memories but no name. Now she’s this badass chick I never want to live without. While she was gone I had to direct my focus on football, school and my workouts so that I didn’t think about Sloane. I kept my head down hoping she’d show back up already.

  Now I have my wish.

  I grab Sloane by the hand and pull her into my arms. I need her body wrapped around me before we get serious.

  She snakes her arms around my neck and she’s trembling all around me.

  I whisper into her ear “Babe what’s going on you’re shaking?” I couldn’t keep the concern out of my voice. There’s something off.

  Sloane takes in a trembling pull of air

  “Asher.” She says so low I almost can’t make out that she even said my name.

  “Baby talk to me please, your making me worry.”

  My neck starts to get wet from her tears so I run a soothing hand down the length of her back to try to sooth her. She raises her legs to wrap them around my waist and she clings to me as I put my other arm under her pert ass.

  “Asher, I’m so sorry I left and overreacted.” She sobs.

  “I know babe. I’m glad you’re back though and I have you right where I need you.” In my arms and by my side is her place.

  “I promise I’ll be more levelheaded if we ever argue again. I don’t want to have a relationship like what I turned us into. I want to be with you and love you. I want us to have the world at our fingertips, together.”

  “I want that too, and yeah I promise I won’t say shit like that to you ever again. When things get rough, I’ll sit with you and talk things out.”

  I want to tell her I love her, but I don’t want to freak her out too soon but I’m going to prove that to her everyday she’s with me.

  Sloane lowers her legs and I help her get stable footing. I take a better look at her and she’s lost some weight since she’s left. I don’t like it. She had all the right curves, and this Sloane needs to eat. I enjoy a woman who can down a burger whether it be beef or vegetarian as long as she eats it. While also being able to throw back some beers.

  I bring my hands to her waist and grab onto her hip bones.

  “Sloane you’ve lost too much weight. I need you to stop stressing and starting eating okay?”

  “Okay, Ash I can do that.” She looks up to me with tear-filled eyes.

  “What’s the matter? Is there something else going on here?” I ask.

  She casts her eyes down to her boots and starts to tremble again. I instantly wrap her back up in my arms to comfort her. It’s obvious that there is something more going on here and she doesn’t want to tell me.

  “Sloane did something happen while you were gone? Did you meet someone else?” That’s the nicest way of me asking if she fucked some dude while she was in Oregon without being a complete asshole.

  Her head snaps up instantly.

  “What?! No!” Her terrified look is telling me that she’s telling the truth.

  “So once again what’s going on with you? I can tell something’s up."

  “Asher, I ran into someone tonight but I’d rather talk to you another time about it."

  “Someone? No, tell me now!” I’m on the verge of loosing my patience but I just promised Sloane I wouldn’t so I take a deep breath to calm my a
gitation. I ask again a bit calmer and more assertive.

  “Who did you see Sloane?”

  Sloane hugs me to her and buries her face into my chest.

  “It was Taze, tonight at a side show.” As soon as she says his name she crumbles in my arms and starts to cry.

  My poor girl.

  I knew that dick Dane didn’t take care of shit when it came to Taze. This time the whole Taze situation will be taken care of permanently. There is no way my girl is putting up with this nonsense anymore.

  “Are you alright? Did he touch you or threaten you Sloane?" My hands start to roam her body to feel for any scratches or bumps.

  She clears her throat and looks up to me. Her eyes are so blue since the whites are now bloodshot. I can’t help myself and kiss the tip of her nose.

  “What happened babe?” I ask again.

  “I head butted him with my helmet on and maybe broke his nose. I told him this time I’d take care of him myself.” She lets out a sigh of air.

  I can only stare at her as her words really sink in. Did she say she broke his nose? Sloane is a tough girl, but this is definitely more than her kind of tough.

  “Come again?”

  “Babe there was blood everywhere I may have broken Taze’s nose when I head butted him but I’m not certain. I made sure that he was aware I wasn’t taking his shit anymore either. I’m done living in fear. If he wants to come after me, I’m not going to hide. I’ll be prepared to end him in my own personal way.”

  “Well damn that’s my girl, but you’re not going to have to deal with him alone ever again. I’ll be right with you making sure of it.” I tell her.

  “You can’t be with me all the time. You need to have some confidence in my ability to handle things, especially when it comes Taze when shit like this happens.” Her face is serious and determined to convince me that she’s tough enough. So, I reassure her that I believe her and I do. Sloane can handle anything when she puts her mind to it.

  “So, you’re staying at this house by yourself?” I want to change the topic and sort us out more than anything. Us making up will take a few days.

  “Yeah, I have it till Friday." Sloane tells me.

  “Damn, you really didn’t want to take any chances of having people know you were here. What were you planning after graduation? Go back to your moms?”

  “No, I was going to find you and talk things out if you’d let me swallow my pride.”

  “Oh, I’d let you swallow a few things but pride wasn’t one of them.”

  “Hey!” She slaps my arm for my crude talk. I laugh and make a quick save to my comment.

  “Baby, I’m glad you’re back. For me to make you grovel for mistakes that you made that I caused would be ridiculous.” I stare into those beautiful eyes of hers making sure she knows I mean business.

  Sloane pulls me to her the few inches we had between us and buries her face in my chest and mumbles something I can’t quite understand.

  “What did you say?”

  She looks up to me and says as clear as I’ve ever,

  “I’m sorry for how I reacted and while I was gone. I missed you so much and that I realized that I love you Asher. I love you unlike any man I’ve ever been with. I hope to show you every opportunity I get.” Now that was more than what she mumbled but I’m amazed either way.

  Damn she loves me.

  That’s all I want from her and now it’s mine.

  I bring my hand up to her face and cup her cheeks,

  “I’ll let you show me every chance you see me as long as I can do the same?”

  Her lush lips break into the widest smile I’ve seen since we’ve been together and seeing that I caused that smile, makes me want to do everything I can to ensure there is one there every day.

  “So, are you renting a room here or the whole house?”

  “The whole house.” she says with a devilish grin.

  She knows exactly what I’m after.

  Sloane grabs my hand and leads me down the driveway as she hits the garage door opener in her hand to close it up keeping her motorcycle safe.

  “Let me give you a grand tour of the inside.” she says.

  I follow her willingly as I control myself in not throwing her over my shoulder and taking her to the first room I find. Watching those hips sway in front of me makes me harder than I have been for weeks.

  I don’t even notice going through the house and straight to the room she’s staying in. All I notice is that Sloane has suddenly turned around while pulling her shirt over her head in one quick movement, leaving her in a sexy, red lace bra. Her pale pink nipples are highly visible so I take a moment to appreciate the view as she slides her pants down her thighs. About halfway down on her descend of denim I pick her up and slam my lips to hers. I’ve been missing her and need to be inside that tight pussy and her state of undress is taking too long.

  Since I need to speed things along, I lay her on the bed so I can finish taking off her pants and rip all my clothes off as well before crawling up her body. She still has her panties on and I’m too much in a hurry to jar them off so I move them to the side with my index finger as I skim Sloane’s clit. She jerks in response and I know she wants more as much as I do.

  “I’m sorry baby but I need you, so this first round won’t be sweet.” I say as I line my cock to her glistening center.

  Once I slide in, it’s like putting a vice on my dick. Sloane is so tight I moan deep and loud in appreciation.

  I don’t move for a minute so that Sloane can stretch and accommodate me. Once she has relaxed, I begin my assault.

  Our thighs slap together and every time Sloane moans it causes me to move faster with every thrust. I look down to Sloane’s face, to her tits and then to watching my dick slide in and out of her with pure fascination. It’s this that makes me spill into her but I don’t stop as I want Sloane to come as well. It only takes a few more thrusts and my thumb playing with her clit that makes her unravel before my eyes. Which cause me to come a second time since I never fully got soft after the first release.

  I collapsed on top of her, but don’t pull out right away. I don’t want to break our connection so I lay on her kissing her face as I still move inside her.

  There’s no doubt that this will be how we will be spending our time until her graduation. If she thinks she has other things to do until then, well she’s got another thing coming.

  Chapter Four

  SLOANE

  For two days Asher and I were locked together like it was the end of the world. I never imagined I could have that much sex but Asher proved me wrong.

  He took such good care of me in that time. Asher would bathe me, feed me and make sure I wasn’t too sore. He was so attentive to my needs and my body that it had my affection for him growing deeper every day.

  I had tried to go get us food on the second day, but he wasn’t having any of that. Instead he decided it would be better by taking all my clothes back off.

  “No clothes allowed.” Asher whispers in my ear as he slides off my bra. Asher didn’t want me to have any clothes on whatsoever, and while I was a bit self-conscious at first, his reassurance in how beautiful he thought I was only made me carry myself with added confidence.

  However it’s my graduation day now, and I needed to go to Mona’s finally to get ready for the debacle of what today was really going to be.

  I had my bag strapped to my sissy bar and was saying good bye to Asher from the driveway of the Airbnb house.

  “I’ll see you later on, right?” I asked Asher,

  “I wouldn’t miss it, I’ll be sitting with Reese and your family." I roll my eyes thinking of all the things my parents and grandparents will be saying to him.

  “Okay, but whatever you hear don’t hold it against me later." I bury my face in his chest as he wraps his arms tighter around my waist.

  “Don’t worry babe, I’m sure it won’t be that bad and whatever is said won’t make me not want to be with you.” Ash
er says by my ear. It causes a lazy smile to spread across my face. My eyes swing to him, taking him in and knowing how lucky I am that we could get past our first fight and be together.

  Asher kisses me one more time and releases me so I can climb onto my motorcycle.

  I put on my helmet and gloves, then bring my bike to life.

  The rumble of the motor vibrates through my whole body causing me to come alive with excitement.

  There’s just something about having this much power rumbling between your legs.

  “Alright, text me when you get to Moan’s so I know you’re safe." he yells. I nod and kick up the kickstand and toe my clutch into first gear. I grip the throttle and bring up my feet to the pegs to cruise on out.

  Seeing Asher in my mirror only makes me wish I didn’t have to ride to Mona’s but this will be a good way to clear my head before graduation.

  Though I’ll be done with high school after today, I still have so much to do before college begins in the fall. I did decide since Asher and I made up that I will still be attending Cal. I just needed to decide if I wanted to live in the dorms with Mona or not. We both weren’t too keen on the idea, but Reese had said it would be a good experience even though his experience ended the way it did.

  Mona has already found out if we did live in the dorms we would share a room. Her family had pulled some strings to make that happen. We just needed to figure out if that’s what we want.

  I wouldn’t mind living with Mona since I practically lived with her my whole life anyway, so there wouldn’t be much of a change. It’s the idea of meeting new people and making new friends is what was making me apprehensive. I was content with my inner circle and don’t want to expand our inner circle, but making future connections could prove to be beneficial.
