Campbell's Reaper: Soul Reapers #2 (5 page)

I knew without a shadow of a doubt that
Sunshine was bringing light back into my world, but hell if that did not scare
the ever-living-shit out of me. My world was too dark for how pure and innocent
she was. I had witnessed the darkest side of this life and I never wanted to
expose Campbell to anything even remotely close to that. And if you threw in my
fucking sperm donor of a father into this mix, it was an explosion just waiting
to happen.

“
You alright?
”
I knew I had to look
miserable if Knox said something. He usually never asked and I returned him the
same curtesy since his own demons watched from the shadows just waiting to
light his ass up.

“
Yeah, I
’
m
cool.
”
I tried retreating to the
bar, but Knox just followed. Ax, one of the newest prospects, had two ice-cold
beers waiting for us.

“
How old are those two?
”
he asked. Innocent enough
question so I shrugged as I tilted the bottle gulping down the cold brew.
“
The
blonde, Campbell, right?
”
I nodded.
“
She
looks pretty young.
”

“
Yeah, they are the best
kind.
”
Fucking Trigger.

“
Shut the fuck up brother,
”
I warned. I was not in the
mood for his shit tonight.

“
What?
”
He tried to act all
innocent.
“
She doesn
’
t
just look young.
”
He grinned his creepy-ass grin when he was
going to try and get some.
“
She looks unexperienced,
but ready and very willing to learn.
”
A growl rumbled in my chest
as his attention switched from the hallway where the girls disappeared to me.
“
Oh,
brother. You have got to be fucking kidding me. You are claiming the other one.
”
His rant would have made me
happy had he not been talking about Campbell.

“
Shut the fuck up brother,
”
grumbled Knox. He was a man
you did not want to piss off because he was the scariest motherfucker when he
was.
“
Nobody
wants to hear your shit.
”
I nodded in agreement right as Colton came
to claim a spot next to us. Without hesitation, there were two sweet butts
rubbing up on him trying to get his attention. He sat there all comatose and
shit, as if he could not even feel the tits and hands gliding over him. I
looked to where Colton was staring and a second later Campbell came storming
towards us. As if on instinct, my body was moving towards her before I even
thought about it. My hands found her waist stopping her progress.

“
Tank,
”
she warned as she tried to
look past me.

“
Hi Sunshine,
”
I cooed in her ear as I
pressed my body against hers. I placed a soft kiss on her forehead. Campbell
let out a big sigh but remained rigid.
“
Have
I told you how beautiful you look tonight?
”
Her head shook back and
forth against my chest.
“
Well you do.
”
My comment had her tilting
her head back so she could look at me. I let the truth shine through as a
breathing-taking grin spread across her face and her body melted into mine.

“
There
’
s
more amber in your eyes than before,
”
observed Campbell.
“
It
makes them look like they catch fire when you look at me.
”
My heart leapt in my chest
as my eyes closed on their own accord. I felt her lift up against my body as
she laid a kiss on my chin.
“
You are so beautiful.
”
Her breath washed over my
neck, sending goose bumps down my chest and arms. My response earned me a
giggle from Campbell. I shook my head trying to get the pictures of Campbell
spread out under me and over me out of my mind as I grabbed her hand and led
her over to Logan on the dance floor.

The girls and I spent the next several
hours dancing and hanging out with my brothers. Some time during the fun,
Colton decided to be an ass and took two ugly-ass sweet butts up to his room,
because he was pissed at Logan. Once Campbell became Logan
’
s
crutch I decided it was time to take the ladies home. I said good-bye to a
couple of the brothers, and reached Campbell at the same time Colton reached
Logan. He scooped Logan up and followed us out the door to my truck. Campbell
got in on my side and sat right next to me on the bench, while Colton buckled
Logan in. He whispered to her nonstop, but she just sat with her head against
the headrest with her eyes closed.

“
Drive safe brother,
precious cargo,
”
croaked Colton.

“
Always.
”
After I put the car in
drive, my hand came to rest on Campbell
’
s
leg. She snuggled close and I enjoyed the feel of her warm body against mine.
What I would not give to have all of her pressed up against me tonight?

When I got to the house I woke Campbell
first and then grabbed Logan from the passenger seat. I followed a very tired
Campbell into their house.

“
She
’
s
the first door upstairs,
”
Campbell mumbled as she disappeared into the
kitchen.

After placing Logan on the bed and
covering her with the other half of her comforter, I turned to find Campbell in
the doorway.

“
You gonna tuck me in too?
”
She asked as she stepped
back, allowing me enough room to close Logan
’
s
door.

“
Of course,
”
I rasped.

“
This way,
”
purred Sunshine. My feet
followed automatically, knowing I would follow Sunshine anywhere. Campbell
’
s
dress was up and over her head before I could turn away. Any thoughts of giving
her privacy vanished as she stood practically naked in front of me.  My cock
hardened at the sight of her. My gaze roamed her body memorizing every inch,
every curve. I took one and then another step towards her. Her body, a strong
magnet, pulled at my own; drawing me to her whenever she was in the same room.

A quick glance over her shoulder told
Campbell that I was within arm
’
s length of her.
Ever-so-slowly Sunshine turned, giving me a view I will never forget; plump
breasts encased in sheer lace with nipples that tightened the more I stared.
Her quick breaths pushed the limits of the lace. My cock twitched with each big
inhale as I took in the beauty before me. The only sign that Sunshine was nervous
was the wringing of her hands.

When my eyes finally found hers, my
breath caught as she looked up at me from under her lashes.
“
Please,
”
was all I needed to hear
from her to close the distance between us. Our mouths connected as our bodies
entwined. As I picked her up, Campbell circled her legs around my waist,
placing her core where I needed her most. Once she was under me in the bed, I
began to pump my hips into hers, earning me the most arousing noises I had ever
heard.  I rained kisses down her neck and along her collarbone.
“
Yes
Tank,
”
she moaned. The sound of my
name on her lips was enough to make me cum.

When she murmured
“
I
’
m
about to cum,
”
my
hand took over where my hips left off.  I moaned when I found her need for me
soaking her panties. My fingers found her clit and I rubbed it back and forth,
up and down until I felt her stiffen in my arms. A gasp echoed in the air as I
slowed my movements letting her come down slowly. I continued to kiss wherever
my lips could reach until Campbell finally turned to me. Her cheeks were
flushed the most pretty pink as the gold specks in her eyes shone brightly back
at me.

“
Perfect,
”
I hummed. This moment would
forever be burned into my mind as I took in all of her. I never thought
pleasing a woman could ever be so satisfying and fulfilling. The dreamy,
far-off look on her face told me that Sunshine was done for the night and I was
perfectly happy with that fact. I rolled her over on her side, her back to my
front, as I curled around her.

“
Best first kiss ever,
”
she mumbled right before
she fell asleep. I chuckled as I settled in for one of the best night
’
s
sleep I had ever gotten. No nightmares. No screaming. No death.

CHAPTER FOUR

Two weeks ago

Campbell

Tank was driving me insane. He was
consistently on my mind and in my dreams. Today was no different. I was so
fucking horny around this man that I could not see straight. And ever since our
“
how
old are you
”
conversation
he has been about as accommodating in the passion department as a dead fish. A
few stolen kisses and a copped feel was all I had gotten since he pleasured me
with my first-ever non-me orgasm. Any action was initiated by me and it was
only when I could not take his scent, his gorgeousness, or his body near mine
anymore.
Damn it.

I just wanted his touch so bad that my
body ached for it. I craved his attention like druggies did their next fix. And
that was what Tank was becoming . . . my next fix.

He had just left to head over to the
clubhouse for brother bonding or some shit and he tried to leave with only
placing a quick kiss on my lips. But fuck that! I attacked his face with
everything I had. I knew that he wanted me, because a moan escaped his perfect
lips before he could stop it. Almost as if it was a wakeup call to himself,
Tank literally removed me from his personal space telling me he had to go and
was gone before I could even get a good-bye out of my mouth.

I paced back and forth in my bedroom
hoping to expend the energy that was coursing through my veins when Logan
walked by in nothing but a towel around her and another one around her hair. 
“
You
are going to burn a hole in the carpet,
”
she called out.

I cursed under my breath as I stalked
to the bathroom. Thoughts of Tank swirled around in my mind as I started the
shower. God, this ache was borderline unbearable. I needed more than what he
was giving me but I was not sure if he wanted me as much as I wanted him. Maybe
that night in my room was a one-time thing. I could see how sex was off the
table since I was a minor, but there was a lot of experimenting that I wanted
to try, and every time I tried to make a move Tank would shut me down.

We still spent almost every night
together, eating dinner with Logan and Colton when she did not have to work at
Kilroy
’
s.
Logan kept assuring me not to worry and that in two weeks a lot could change.
Yeah
yeah!
I tried to be cool about it and not let my feelings be hurt but a
girl, I mean a woman, could only take so much. It was T-minus 14 days until I
would literally jump Tank with no ifs, ands, or buts.

I quickly undressed and slid under the
warm water, letting the water wash away my anxiety over this. Tank appeared in
my mind
’
s
eye as I washed my hair. I could only imagine what he looked like, felt like
under those black t-shirts he wore most of the time. My mission, should I
choose to accept it, was to get that man shirtless by the end of this weekend.
I
accept!

“
Hurry up,
”
Logan yelled as she poked
her head in the bathroom.
“
Emma is going to be here in
20 minutes.
”
I
hurried through the rest of my shower as I let thoughts of Tank take a back
seat to the girls
’
night we had planned for tonight.

I really liked Emma. Logan had taken a
second job babysitting Emma
’
s twins. She was a little
older than Logan and was married to Tru, one of Tank
’
s
brothers. It turned out that Amber, the chick who got us our place, was Emma
’
s
twin sister.  They were identical just like Emma
’
s
boys, so that shit definitely ran in the family.  Logan and I fit in well with
Emma and Amber, so it made sense that we were both really excited for ladies
’
night tonight since the
guys had brother shit going on. Amber knew the bouncers at the bar we were
headed to so that I could get in, and Emma already promised me a drink or two
when Logan was not looking. That just added to my excitement about going out.
They were bringing along Amber
’
s best friend, Tricia. We
had never met her but I bet she was as cool as Amber and Emma since they all
had been friends since grade school.
