Diamond ran her hand through her flattened hair. “I made a fool of myself. I didn’t mean to drag that crap out in front of you. I’m sorry.” Digging in her purse, she found her keys and then opened the door. She started to tell Knox goodnight, only to find herself propelled forward into her apartment.
“What are you doing?” Diamond said, startled.
“I’m going to check your apartment out before I leave,” Knox answered, brushing past her to walk through her apartment, checking each room.
“I believe I would notice if someone broke in,” Diamond said sarcastically.
“Your neighbors aren’t home next door. Who’s going to hear if you yell for help?” Knox said, unfazed by her attitude, which only irritated Diamond further.
“I have a cell phone,” she snapped.
“Yeah, you tell the man who breaks in and is waiting to take you out that you need to make a call. I’m sure he’ll listen,” Knox said sarcastically. “Until we find out who broke into your office, you need to play it safe, Diamond.”
In the turmoil of the last few hours she had forgotten about her office.
“I wasn’t thinking. Next time, I’ll be more careful,” Diamond admitted.
“Good. Now do you have anything to eat, I’m fucking starving.”
“I think I can manage something.” She laughed, setting her purse down on the table.
“Good, because I hate to tell you this, but your mama isn’t a good cook,” Knox said with a grimace.
Diamond had to agree. “How was the cake?” she asked, going to the refrigerator and pulling out lunchmeat, lettuce and tomatoes.
“I think she mixed up the salt with the sugar, and the chocolate was God awful,” Knox said, picking out an apple from the fruit bowl on the counter.
“She always manages to mix up the different types of chocolate. Sorry my dad didn’t help you out.”
“Hell, I understand; in that situation it was every man for himself.” Diamond laughed harder.
“Thank God, she doesn’t cook often. Usually it’s about something pretty bad, and I guess, tonight was no exception,” Diamond said, her laughter dying.
“You don’t want your parents to get married?” Knox went to her fridge, pulling out a grape soda. “How long have they been together?” he asked, taking a bite of the apple.
“Thirty-five years. Twenty years longer than they should have been.”
Knox paused, unscrewing the bottled grape drink. “Is that the reason you yelled at them out in their front yard?”
Diamond made the sandwiches, cutting and slicing them, even removing the crust. Then, setting them on a couple of plates, she carried them to the table.
“Yes.” When they sat down to eat, regret began to bloom in her chest, making it hard to swallow.
“I bet they hate me.” Diamond got up, throwing the rest of her food away and putting her plate in the sink.
“No, they don’t. They aren’t real happy with you right now, but they don’t hate you,” Knox said. “I have to say, though, if a man can eat that kind of cooking from a woman, there has to be a lot of love there.” Diamond had to partially agree; her mom was a terrible cook, although she had never seen him complain, acting like each meal she served had been prepared by a five star chef.
“Sex Piston hates me.”
“That’s probably true,” Knox said, finishing his sandwich, then rose to put his own plate in the sink. Diamond leaned against the counter, trying not to laugh.
“Gee, thanks.”
“I don’t believe in bullshit. What you said tonight, nothing was wrong with saying it. You simply should have done it sooner. That shit’s been festering awhile for you, hasn’t it?”
“Ever since I was fourteen and saw my dad fucking one of the sluts that had been hanging around the clubhouse.” Diamond turned away, walking into the living room. “She was always so friendly with Mom and me when we went to the clubhouse; both before and after I saw her with my dad. It didn’t bother her at all she was doing him behind my mom’s back.”
Knox followed her into the living room, sitting on the sofa. “You sure your mom didn’t know? They’ve been together a long time for her not to know he’s fucking around on her.”
“We never talked about it. I couldn’t tell her, and I’m damn sure my dad didn’t.” Diamond sat down at the end of the couch.
“It wouldn’t be something your mom would talk to you about,” Knox said in a matter-of-fact tone.
“Are you saying my mom knew he was fucking around on her and she stayed with him anyway?” Diamond asked angrily.
“I’m saying that what went on between your parents is their business. Maybe she did know and it didn’t bother her; she accepted it,” Knox reasoned.
“Are you crazy? What woman is going to stay with a man who is constantly fucking around on her?”
“Some couples don’t mind sharing,” Knox said, turning on the television with the remote.
“Yeah, The Last Riders for one. Don’t tarnish my parents with the same sick kinks your club shares.” Diamond grabbed the remote from his hand. Knox reacted by taking her hand and jerking her down on his lap.
“What do we do that’s sick?” he asked, easily keeping her on his lap as she tried to wiggle off.
“You, Rider, Evie and Bliss in one bed. That’s sick.”
“No, that was fucking great,” Knox said, dipping his head and taking her mouth in a demanding kiss she was determined to resist.
Diamond jerked her head back, tearing her mouth away from his. Undeterred, Knox’s lips traveled to her throat, seeking the sensitive flesh as his hand traveled up her thigh under her dress.
“Have you ever had dick up your ass and pussy at the same time, Diamond?” Knox murmured against her throat. Diamond shivered as the image played across her mind. “You can have a lot of fun sharing that beautiful body of yours, Diamond, if you just let yourself relax and enjoy the pleasure.” His fingers slid under the band of her panties, finding the wet warmth of her pussy waiting for his attention. His rough finger sought and found her clit, stroking it until the tiny bud quivered, sending flares of need screaming through Diamond’s body. “That’s it, baby, give me all that cream, you’re going to need it.”
Diamond’s head tilted to the side and Knox seized the advantage by taking her mouth with his again. This time the pleasure prevented Diamond from retreating, instead she returned his kiss, stroking his tongue with hers and searching his mouth in a duel of dominance. His tongue ring caressed her tongue as his finger plunged into her warm passage, creating a rhythm her hips rose to meet. Escalating her passion, he added another finger, only withdrawing when her arms clasped his shoulders, pulling him close while her legs thrashed as she tried to move to the couch.
Knox rose in one movement, carrying her into the bedroom and laying her down on the bed. His hands went to her hips, pulling down her stockings and panties. He then removed his shirt, exposing his chest. Diamond’s mouth watered at the bare expanse of the muscular chest, her fingers wanted to explore the tats on his arm and her mouth wanted to trace the tats on his chest. She watched breathlessly as he took off his boots, standing again to take off his jeans, exposing his huge, pierced cock.
Diamond’s eyes widened at the sheer size of his cock and the piercings that had several balls on the flesh around the head. She, even with her limited experience, knew that this would be no gentle round of love-making from the tensed look on Knox’s face. The size and piercings were enough to scare the desire from her body, add the fierce expression and Diamond knew he would be too much to handle.
Diamond rose to her knees on the bed as he pulled on a condom, her flight or fight instinct kicking in when faced with the frightening proposition of being fucked by a cock that she was afraid would rip her to shreds in more ways than one.
She tried to scramble off the other side of the bed, however she found her hips grasped in his hands and her ass dragged backwards to him.
“If you
didn’t want to fuck, you would have said so before I pulled my dick out.” He pulled her dress up to her waist, baring her ass and pussy to his gaze. Stepping up between her thighs, he fit his cock against her opening.
“Knox...”
Knox inserted the head of his penis into her wet opening, pumping in and out in small increments. Diamond felt the balls of his piercings rub against her tender flesh as he moved against her, attempting to fit inside. His hands moved her thighs wider apart as he slid another inch inside her at the same time that Diamond’s fingers grasped her comforter as her knees tried to brace herself while he continued to shove his length inside her. His thumb found her clit again, stroking her. The rush of wetness allowed him to continue to slide within as she felt him stretching her. Diamond tried to buck him off and move forward, but Knox held her still, bending over and pinning her shoulders to the bed with his chest.
“You can take me, just relax.”
“That’s easy for you to say,” she said, trying to ignore the small bite of pain as he began a steady pumping that was driving him deeper within her. The piercings on his cock rubbed the walls of her pussy and it was eliciting a response that had her involuntary moving backwards against her better judgment.
“That’s it, fuck me back.” His mouth found the back of her neck, sucking a piece of flesh into his mouth and biting down.
The slight flare of pain arched her back, driving him further into her. Diamond whimpered as he began to move harder and faster inside her. The stretching fullness of his cock breached her tight opening, arousing her to feelings of lust she had never felt before. Losing control, she began to move back against him in demands of her own as she felt him fill her completely.
Knox controlled her wild movements with his experienced hands, moving her hips in the direction that maximized the feel of those piercing against her g-spot. The pain of the tightness of her cunt only added to the excitement of his cock driving forcefully within her. His mouth sucking against her neck merely stimulated her further as she moaned, trying to find her release.
“You want to come?” Knox’s hand on her clit pressed against her harder, lifting her off the bed as he used his hand against her body to lift her while he continued to fuck strongly within her.
“Yes!”
“I’m not ready to come yet; you going to suck me off if I let you come?”
“Yes!”
Knox lowered her knees back to the bed. Removing the palm of his hand, he started rubbing her clit as he pumped inside of her. Within two hard thrusts of his cock, Diamond felt her climax strike her in waves of sensations that had her incapable of doing anything except letting her orgasm run its course.
Knox pulled out of her, and with an arm around her waist, he lifted her from the bed. Turning, he sat down on the side of her bed, setting her down between his thighs on the floor.
Still shuddering with her climax, she heard his command. “Take the condom off.” With shaking fingers, Diamond reached out and removed the slick condom, dropping it into the small trashcan she kept by her bed.
“Get on your knees.” Diamond dropped to her knees between his splayed thighs. Knox’s hand went to her now messed up hair, pulling her down to his cock.
“Suck me off.” Diamond took his cock into her mouth, giving him what he wanted, although she had only ever given head a few times and she knew she wasn’t very good at it.
Knox’s hand in her hair took into account her inexperience, showing her what he wanted. Knox was not a lover that took it easy on you; he demanded, going past her defenses to get her to take more of his cock than she thought she would be able to. When he felt her begin to gag, he pulled back, but only gave her a moment’s respite before surging back within her mouth.
His fingers unbuttoned the front of her dress, pulling a breast out of the cup of her bra. Finding her nipple, he pinched until the nub hardened, turning a light red. Diamond groaned around the head of his cock.
“Use your tongue.” Again Diamond followed his instructions, using her tongue to explore the hard flesh and teasing the piercings that had driven her crazy when he had been buried in her pussy.
“Do you know how sexy you look with my cock in your mouth, wearing those uptight business clothes with your tits begging me to pinch them? You look fucking hot.” His praise had Diamond trying harder to please him, endeavoring to take more of him while going up and down his long length.
“That’s it; show me you want it.” His hand in her hair grasped her tighter and his hips began to thrust. Her tongue found the piercings again, playing with them while her fingers went to his balls, feeling them tighten. His length hardened even further as he finally achieved the orgasm he’d wanted.
When she removed her mouth, he picked her up by the waist, laying her on the bed and curving against her. His mouth went to her neck, placing kisses on her. Diamond felt warm and tired. Her eyes closed from the disaster of a day, which hadn’t ended badly.
“Get some sleep. I’m going to fuck you again in an hour,” Knox said, reaching out to turn the light off.
Diamond dozed off, thinking that he was overestimating his stamina, but it was Diamond who spent the night amazed at the amount of times he kept waking her. She found herself continuously submitting to the demands he placed on her body. It was only towards dawn that she felt him climb from the bed, pulling on his clothes. Diamond watched, barely able to move her sore body.
“I’ll see you this afternoon at Viper’s wedding. You better get some sleep; you’re going to need it.” He left her without another word.
Diamond heard the door open and close behind him, wondering what in the hell she had started.
* * *
Diamond soaked her stiff body in hot water until she felt her flesh begin to wrinkle. Her mind was in turmoil at what she had allowed to happen with Knox. The sexual attraction she held for him was nothing she had ever encountered before. Of the few men she’d had sex with, she’d had an emotional attachment to all of them before they had explored the sexual side of their relationship. With Knox, she didn’t know how she felt about him, yet her body wanted his until it almost consumed her with lust.
She admired the things he had done with his life, but she hated that he belonged to The Last Riders and the lifestyle he made no bones about enjoying. Diamond had no illusions; if he wanted to fuck one of the women at the club, their one night together wouldn’t stop him. Feeling a knife of jealousy plunge into her stomach, Diamond rose from the tub, drying off.
She went to her closet and picked out a purple dress that buttoned up the back. It was pretty and sexy. Diamond had picked it out in the department store in town and hadn’t worn it yet because the deep v in the front wasn’t appropriate for the office or court.
Dressed, she put on heels and brushed her red hair until it fell down her back in curls. When she went to get her car keys, she realized she had forgotten her car was still at the office. Not to mention, her keys were now missing. A knock at the door sounded just as she was going to pick up her phone to call and have it fixed.
. With a sense of déjà vu she opened her door to the grinning Rider and an impassive Knox.
“We brought your car back, all fixed with a new tire,” Rider said, handing her the keys.
“Thanks, Rider.”
“And before you can mention money…—” he continued.
“I know, Viper took care of it.” Diamond finished for him. “The way it’s going I’m going to owe him money.”
“Cheaper to get a new car than fix everything wrong with that piece of junk,” Knox said.
“I told you that I can’t afford to get a new car yet.”
“Then I suggest you get busy getting me off the hook for Sam’s murder so that you can buy one.”
“Why don’t you make it easy on me and just confess,” she snapped.
Rider burst out laughing. “As much as I’m enjoying this bickering, we’re going to be late for Viper’s wedding. Knowing Winter, she’ll make
me take a punishment.”
“Take a punishment?” Diamond questioned Rider, but was ignored as Knox took her hand and pulled her out into the hall. Rider locked and closed her door, following behind.
“Slow down Knox; we’re not that late,” Diamond said, trying to keep up. Knox slowed his steps and Diamond walked between the two men.
A truck was parked by her car. Diamond started to go to her car, however Knox opened the truck door. “Get in.”
“But I was going to take my car.”
“Leave it. I’ll bring you back tonight.” Diamond gave in, sliding into the passenger side of the truck then scooting over as Knox got in beside her. Rider climbed in behind the wheel, expertly backing the truck out and onto the road.
“Did Winter invite anymore unexpected guests?” Diamond asked curiously.
“No, just The Last Riders, you and Lily. Mrs. Langley was invited, but under the circumstances, she declined.”
“I know; Winter told me. I feel horrible that she doesn’t have any family left,” Diamond said, knowing the sweet woman had to be lonely.
“She has a great-grandchild if Sam hadn’t decided to keep it a secret with what she had done with it,” Knox said, staring out the window.
“Vincent Bedford refuses to tell?” Diamond asked.
“Yes. The sheriff is looking into the situation,” Rider answered.
Knox placed his arm against the back of the car seat. Diamond was unsure how to act around him. She didn’t want to act like a girlfriend, but she didn’t want to be the cliché one-night stand, either. She was confused as to what exactly she did want.
Rider pulled the truck into the parking lot of the clubhouse. The huge house sat on top of a hill facing the mountain. Diamond noticed a path being dug alongside the long flight of steps leading to the door.
“You’re putting in more steps?” Diamond asked.
“No, we’re trying to level it off so that a winding path will take you to the back door of the house to make it easier on Winter’s back. Viper worries that she will fall.”
Diamond had come to respect the way Viper treated Winter. During her school board case, he had let her take the lead, supporting her in the decisions she made and had backed her up with the wealth he had at his disposal. He saw her through the violent attack that had cost her several months of physical recovery and even now was making sure her safety was taken seriously.
