Cold-Hearted (15 page)

I awoke from my post-coital bliss and Ash was laying next to me, his arms and legs entangled in mine. I watched him sleep, his mouth slightly open and his eyelids fluttering. I wondered what he was dreaming about—maybe robbing a bank, killing a bunch of bad guys, or maybe even sex with me.

I lifted the bed sheet up slightly and gazed under. His shaft was flaccid and small. I giggled to myself. I couldn't believe he was all mine.

“Are you done?” Ash asked, waking from sleep.

I flush crimson and put the sheet back down. “I'm sorry, I just can't keep my eyes off your body.”

“Should we do something about that?” His lip curled into a grin.

Desire returned in full force. My mind screamed at me for no more—my body had it's own plan. Ash kissed me softly and I climbed on top of him. His erection became rock hard beneath me. I grinded against him, rubbing my sex all over him. Ash reached up and squeezed my breasts, massaging and kneading them.

The sound of glass shattering in the hallway interrupted our heavenly time.

Ash flung me off to the side and bolted out of bed. Hammer from downstairs yelled up, “FBI!”

“Get your clothes on fast,” Ash ordered.

He went over to a drawer and pulled out a large silver pistol. We quickly got dressed and Ash tucked the pistol in the belt behind his back. Footsteps pounded up and down the hallway. They could come bursting in at any moment. Ash locked the door and went back to the dresser. “Help me with this.”

I took one side and we shifted it over. I thought we were trying to block the door but Ash stopped short of it. He bent down at the wall and pushed it in. A small square door popped open. Ash smiled. “I always have an escape plan.” He motioned for me to go first. “I'll follow behind and close the trapdoor behind us.”

I got down on my hands and knees and looked through the tiny door. The shaft was small but big enough to fit a person crawling through. I glanced back at Ash and he kicked my butt to get me going.
Ouch!
I inched my way through the tunnel, wiping cobwebs out of the way. Ash followed behind and closed the door, cutting off the small amount of light.

We could hear the door to the bedroom break open. Boots pounded against the floor as they walked around. My pulse was pounding in my ear and fear kept me frozen. A man yelled, “Clear” and walked away.
We were safe—for now.

“Keep going, Nicole,” Ash whispered.

I continued my descent into the musty escape. I finally came to another small door that opened to the outside. We were still on the second story and the drop was at least fifteen feet high. “What do you want me to do?”

“There should be a dumpster right below. Jump down into it.”

He's got to be kidding.
But I knew he wasn't.

I took a deep breath and looked below—it might as have been a hundred feet. I felt a shove on my ass and I came crashing down into a pile of smelly black trash bags. The overwhelming stench of rotten food made me want to vomit. I quickly climbed out of the dumpster and watched as Ash made the same leap. His head popped out with some lettuce stuck in his hair. I couldn't help but laugh at the ridiculous situation.

Ash climbed out and joined me. “It's time we split up, Nicole.”

What is he talking about? “No, I'm staying with you.”

Ash and I ducked down behind the dumpster. “Listen to me. They aren't looking for you. You can walk away from this without a scratch.”

I steeled myself. There was no way in hell Ash was going to change my mind. “I'm not going anywhere without you.”

Ash looked deep into my eyes and kissed me hard. “You're so cute when you're defiant. I don't have time to argue with you. Stay here and I'll get my bike.”

I nodded and kissed him once again before he went off into the darkness. I sat behind the dumpster, my hands balled up in my lap, my stomach full of nerves. Minutes passed and he still wasn't back.
Did he get caught?
Should I check out what was going on?

I stood up and a hand touched my shoulder from behind. I screamed and turned around to find Ash with his index finger against his lips. His Harley sat behind him, ready to take us away from all this. “Hurry and get on. The feds are crawling all over this place.”

“You don't have to tell me twice.” I bounced onto the bike behind Ash and held onto him as he started the motorcycle. We zoomed through the alley and around the front of The Burger Joint. Black SUVs were parked all over the place. A woman with short hair and a suit came running outside the restaurant as we sped away.

We were going to make it.

I leaned forward and nuzzled my nose against his neck. I never wanted to leave this motorcycle. The bike suddenly stopped.
Why were we stopping so soon?
The FBI were probably on our tail. I gazed over to see my apartment.

“What are we doing here, Ash? Do you want me to get some stuff?”

Ash shook his head. “You can't come with me, Nicole.”

I hit him in the shoulder as hard as I could, but I knew he couldn't even feel it. “What the fuck are you talking about?”

“The FBI are after me and the MC is in handcuffs. I need to escape town until the heat dies down.”

Ash killed the engine and got off the bike. I stayed on, hoping to somehow chain myself to the handlebars. “I'm coming with you,” I said, my bottom lip trembling.

Ash sighed. “You don't understand. If you come with me, you'll be aiding and abetting a fugitive. That comes with some serious prison time. I can't let you do that.”

I put my hand on his face and caressed it. “I know that you love me and don't want anything bad to happen. But you need to hear me...I'm not getting off this fucking bike. There's nothing here for me. I'm a stripper for god's sake.”

Ash suppressed a chuckle. “You are truly unique, do you know that, Nicole?”

I pinched both of his cheeks hard. “Just shut up and get back on the bike.”

Ash shrugged and kissed me. “I love you.”

“I love you too.”
I will always be by your side, Ash.

I looked back at my apartment and realized that I didn't get to say goodbye to Jenny. The FBI would surely talk to her in a couple of days when they figured everything out. It might be awhile before I could contact her. I blew her a kiss as Ash drove us away.

We rode through the night, red taillights streaking past my vision, no particular destination in mind. The singular headlight of the motorcycle lit up the road ahead as streetlights flashed by us. We could go anywhere we wanted to. Start over if we had to. As long as we had each other we could get through anything. Our love would protect us.

The virgin margarita was ice cold and tasted like summer. The sun beat down on my tanned skin as the sounds of the ocean crashed in the background. The view was absolutely incredible. The ocean went on for miles and met up with the horizon. The beach was completely deserted except for us. I never pictured myself living the high life. I lifted my sunglasses and looked over at Ash.
My man.

Ash lay on the beach chair next to me, his nose deep into a newspaper. His chiseled chest glistened in the sunlight. My thighs were still quivering from when we made love this morning. His body on top of me, thrusting in and out until finishing. I couldn't get enough of him and his thick cock. Just thinking about it brought a smile to my face.

“How is everything back home?” I asked softly. We had been on the run for months now and even though we were living in paradise, Ash longed to go back home. His sense of duty to his MC was overriding any sort of fun that he could be having. Knowing that his brothers were in jail made the guilt unbearable. I wanted to be there for him but there wasn't anything I could do.

Ash sighed and folded the newspaper. “That FBI Agent Swift is still on the lookout for us.”

I remembered when Ash showed me the newspaper with my missing photo on it—a prom photo from high school. There were a couple quotes from Jenny about me being the “most incredible woman ever.” My stomach wrenched at the thought that Jenny probably believed I was hurt or dead. She didn't deserve that. A phone call to her could change all that but there was no way. The FBI probably had her cellphone tapped.

It didn't take the FBI long to connect the dots and link me to Ash. The American media was fascinated with the hunt for us. The tabloids labeled us as Bonnie and Clyde, going around robbing banks and killing people. We weren't even in the U.S. anymore. The east coast of Mexico was our home now.

“What are we going to do?” I asked Ash.

Ash gazed towards the ocean. “We stay put. Once the media fervor dies down, the FBI will eventually give up the search. Then we can go back and figure out a plan to get my brothers out of prison. I just don't know when that will be.”

I lay back in the lounge chair and stared up at the clear blue sky, my hands resting on my growing belly. Everything was perfect here. How could I ever leave? I wanted our child to grow up in this paradise. I looked back over at Ash and wanted to feel his warmth again. He needed to keep his mind off things.

My mouth curled into a sly grin. I got out of my beach chair and crawled over to Ash on all fours. His eyes were distracted by the ocean but I knew how to get his attention. I reached under his boardshorts and felt his limp penis.

“You didn't get enough this morning, baby?”

I shook my head innocently and stroked his cock until it was throbbing hard in my palm. Ash closed his eyes and leaned back as I felt up his shaft. My finger-tips could barely reach around his entire girth. I pulled his boardshorts down until they rested around his knees, bringing his cock out into the light of day. The beach was still empty but even an audience wouldn't get me to stop.

Ash tried to get up to kiss me but I placed my hand on his chest and shoved him back down. “No...no...no. Just relax and focus on my tits wrapped around your cock.” I guided Ash's hands underneath my black bikini top and he felt up my breast, pinching my nipple hard. His tongue licked his lips, craving to taste me.

I untied my top and tossed it to the side. Ash could barely contain himself as I stroked his rod. I shoved his cock in between the canyon of my tits, enveloping him. I gathered saliva in my mouth and spit down into my cleavage, lubing his cock as I slid up and down. Ash reached out and grabbed my boobs, pushing them hard around his shaft. He thrust in and out, moaning at the top of his lungs. He couldn't last much longer.

“Come all over me,” I whispered.

Ash found his release and unloaded all over my chest, his white seed spurting out. I helped him along, running my tits up and down his cock. His cum covered every inch of my breasts, running down my cleavage and to my stomach. I released Ash and he fell back on the lounge chair..

I used my rainbow-colored beach towel and cleaned myself up before it all dried on me. I lay next to Ash on his beach chair and rested my head on his chest. His breathing was fast and his heart pounded in my ear. I felt so safe in his arms. There wasn't anywhere else I wanted to be.

“Do you think we're going to have a boy or a girl?” I asked.

Ash stroked my hair. “Definitely going to be a boy.”

I lifted my head off his chest. “How do you know?”

“I can feel his strength.”

I smiled and rested my head back on Ash. We were going to be one big happy family.

The End
