  “You will not believe the day I’ve had,” Rix said. He leaned on the counter opposite her.

  Ignore him.

  Tipping the noodles into the boiling water, she gave them a stir with a metal spoon, being careful not to let it heat up.

  Once she was happy that it was boiling, she got to the wok, added in some infused oil, and began to put her ingredients in.

  “You’re mad at me, aren’t you?”

  “Rix, I don’t know why you’ve come around here.”

  “I don’t know what it is that I’ve done but I can’t fix anything if you keep shutting me out.”

  She drained her noodles, rinsed them with cold water, and drizzled some sesame oil on them before bringing them back to her wok, where she mixed in the last of the vegetables, peppers, sugar snaps, broccoli, sauce, and finally the noodles.

  “I’m not angry with you, Rix,” she said. No, just hurt.

  He slammed his hand down on the counter. “Well, let me fix what is going on. You were on fire in my arms a week ago and now you can’t even talk to me.”

  She pushed some hair out of her eyes and finally looked at him. “There, is that what you want?”

  “Ugh, you’re being a bitch on purpose.”

  Now she was a bitch. “Well, I guess you can add that to my very short list of attractions. I’m boring and bitchy now.”

  She put the stir fry into two separate bowls, not that he deserved to eat her food, but she wasn’t going to push it aside. She sat down at the table, aware of him staring at her.

  He grabbed his bowl and joined her.

  “Boring and bitchy? I never said you were boring.”

  “I don’t want to talk about this.”

  “Night has. My enforcer.”

  “Again, I don’t want to talk about this,” she said. When was he going to understand that she was embarrassed?

  “You’re pissed off.”

  “It doesn’t matter.”

  “Clearly, it does.”

  She put her fork into her bowl and looked at him.

  “Is this why you’ve been avoiding me for a week? You heard what Night said about you and you think I believe it?”

  “You didn’t exactly defend me.”

  “You think I want my men to know how fucking hot you are? How amazing you are in bed? I don’t know you all that well, but I don’t want to share you. I don’t find you boring and I’m not going to let my guys know that I hit the jackpot when it came to a woman. Not happening. Yes, I’m selfish like that, and guess what, I don’t care.” He laughed. “I don’t think you’re boring, Anna-Beth. Far from it.”

  “Oh,” she said.

  “This was what that was all about?”

  “I was … hurt.” Now she felt like a fool. A complete and total fool.

  He laughed. “You didn’t need to. I could have told you what was going on.” He shook his head. “At least I know what’s going on now.” He put his hand over hers. “You’ve got nothing to worry about.”

  She watched as he ate his food. “You really don’t think I’m boring?”

  “No. I don’t. I’m happy Night thinks you’re boring. Let all of my boys believe it. I don’t have to fight them off you.” He winked at her.

  “Oh.” Her cheeks heated in embarrassment.

  “Did I surprise you?”

  “A little.”

  “Anna-Beth, I don’t find you boring. Why do you think I came here?”

  “You want sex?”

  “Yes, that’s on my mind but I also wanted to talk to you. I enjoy being with you. Can’t you see that?”

  She nibbled on her lip. “It’s not something I’ve thought about.” She’d been more interested in being hurt.

  “Next time, don’t hide from me. I’m not a mind reader. I don’t know what you want. I need words.”

  “Got it.”

  “Good.” He winked at her. “Now, I met a rather interesting woman today. Elizabeth. Got about a dozen dogs. Did you hear that these two houses are cursed?”

  She choked on her food.

  As she rubbed at her chest, Rix slapped her on the back. “You okay?”

  “Yeah, I’m fine. What were you saying?” she asked.

  She listened as Rix told her exactly what Martin had said to her.

  “What do you think? Have you heard this before?”

  “My, one of my colleagues, Martin, he was going to set me up with a friend but the moment he thought about where I lived and I kind of went a little … crazy on him, he stepped back. Told me about the supposed cursed houses thing. I didn’t really believe it. Do you believe it?”

  She twirled her fork into her noodles, waiting.

  “I don’t know. I mean, it’s kind of out there, right? I don’t believe in karma or shit like that.” He took another mouthful of food. “If it is, it means you’re supposed to be my woman.”

  “I don’t believe some kind of curse will bring people together. I intend to live here for the rest of my life and you’ve already said you’ve got plans to be anywhere but. I don’t think it’s right.” It was a nice thought.

  “I bet it’s how the locals have dealt with these houses.”

  “The guy who lived here before, he, er, he fell in love with the neighbor,” she said. “That’s all I know.”

  “Do you want me to do some digging?” Rix asked. “You know, out of general curiosity.”

  “You’re curious about the previous owners?”

  “Aren’t you? We’ve had two different people tell us what our fate is going to be. Elizabeth even asked if she could come to my wedding and if it would be held in my biker club. Bless her. I think I’m going to start walking her dogs.”

  “You like dogs?”

  “I didn’t think I did but there was this little pooch, Rufus, he pissed on me, and I have to say, I think I like him.” He laughed. “What do you say? I look into it?”

  “If you want to.” She didn’t know how she would feel about knowing about the past couples.

  “I’m going to because I’m fucking intrigued.” He laughed. “You’ve got to love this town, right?”

  She didn’t know if she loved this town. “You want a beer?”

  “Yeah, babe, I want a beer.”

  “Do you want to stay the night?” she asked.

  He leaned in close and pushed some of her hair off her shoulder, the backs of his fingers brushing along her skin. “I thought you’d never ask.” He gripped the back of her neck and drew her closer, slamming his lips down on hers.

  One week had been too long to stay angry at him.

  Rather than let her get the beer, Rix pulled her close, and she had no choice but to straddle his waist. Holding on to him, she kissed him as he cupped her ass, a fire already starting to burn within her.

  She wasn’t going to fall in love with Rix.

  They were fire and ice. Chalk and cheese. It just wouldn’t work, not ever.

  Chapter Six

  “Naked,” Rix said.

  “I can’t walk around naked,” Anna-Beth said.

  “You lost this morning, and I get my reward.” They had a bet. The first one to orgasm would have to do as the other said all of Sunday. With his expert tongue, she was just no match, and so he would be able to command her to do what he wanted, when he wanted it. His cock was already happy about that.

  He sat and watched as she gripped the robe, shaking her head.

  “A deal’s a deal and I seem to recall the sweetness of your pussy all over my face.”

  “You’re a bad man. Next time, remind me never to enter into a deal with the devil.”

  “You will get burned, baby.” He winked at her.

  He waited, watching as she unbuckled the belt and let the robe slide down her body.

  “There, are you happy now?”

  “Nah, I need you to do a little turn. Take your time. Don’t rush. I don’t need you to rush.”

  She held her hands out like a proper lady and gave him a twirl. Curves in
all the right places, and fuck that ass. He loved her ass. His prints were on it from how tight he held her. She tilted her head to the side. “Happy?”

  “No, turn around. Show me your ass.”

  She shook her head but did as he asked.

  “Nice. Now bend over.”

  “Rix!”

  “When you get me to come first, you can order and command all you want. For now, let me see.”

  She sighed. “I don’t like this.”

  “I love this.”

  She bent forward. Her hands going to the tip of her toes. “Satisfied?” She made to stand up.

  “Not yet. I’m not ready.”

  “Rix, come on. You’re doing this to embarrass me.”

  He wrapped his fingers around his length. “Does this look like I want you embarrassed?” He worked his length from the root up to the tip and back down again, groaning as he did. “Grab your ass and spread your cheeks.”

  “Rix!”

  “Babe, I swear to you, it’s sexy as fuck and I want to see it. I won fair and square.” Not exactly fair. He knew what he was doing and well, Anna-Beth, she was no match for his expert skill. It had taken him some serious concentration not to come this morning.

  He intended to reap the rewards.

  “Fine.” She gripped her ass and opened herself up.

  “That’s what I’m talking about. Come here.”

  She stood up and moved toward him.

  “Back into position.”

  She bent over and she was so close he could touch her. Her cunt was on display, as was that tight little asshole.

  Sliding his fingers between her slit, he pushed two inside her, drawing them out, and teasing over her clit. She was so sensitive. He made it his personal mission that every time he fucked her, she’d come at least twice. She’d never come so much in her life and she had him to thank for that. It was a title he was more than happy to keep. After pinching her clit, he soothed out the pain with gentle strokes, moving down to fuck her again, going knuckle deep. In and out, he worked her tight pussy. She was so fucking pretty and responsive. Already so wet. Bringing his fingers back, he stroked over her anus.

  His little temptress was so easy to shock. She tensed up.

  “Don’t even think about moving.”

  “Rix?”

  “I know. You’ve never had a cock here but, baby, I want to.” He pressed against the tight ring of muscles.

  She wouldn’t let him in, but he didn’t take no for an answer, not as she moaned. Letting go of his cock, he worked his other hand over her clit, stopping her from fighting the tenseness she was clearly feeling.

  With the other, he pushed against that tight ring of muscles until she gave way beneath his onslaught. He pushed a single finger inside. At the same time, he continued to play with her clit as he started to get her asshole accustomed to being penetrated. In and out, he worked her, finding a pace that had her pushing back.

  He added a second finger which helped to stretch her out, working her. “Fuck, baby, I’m going to have every single part of you. I can’t wait.” He groaned as he felt how close she was.

  His name fell from her lips as he worked her pussy. In and out he stretched her asshole, all this time, his cock aching to be inside her.

  When she finally came, his name spilling out on a musical repeat, he pulled his fingers from her anus, positioned his cock, and slid all the way inside her, fucking her. He sat her down on his lap, holding her hips as he began to rock back and forth. She was so tight around his length.

  He closed his eyes, enjoying the pulse of her cunt.

  Reaching between her thighs, he began to stroke her clit, feeling the answering ripple all the way up his cock.

  “Come for me, baby,” he said.

  “Rix,” she said. “What are you doing to me?”

  “I’m going to make you come, screaming my name, and then I’m going to fuck you hard. Harder than you’ve ever been taken.”

  She moaned.

  “Yeah, I want to hear you come. Come for me, baby. Let me hear you. Let me hear you scream.”

  “Please,” she said.

  He used two fingers to work her clit, stroking over and over, building up the pleasure until she finally cried out and he felt her cum all over him. She was soaking wet and he loved it. He wanted to keep her in a constant state of arousal. It suited her better than anything. She always had this sparkle in her eyes right after she came. It was such a beautiful sight.

  Holding on to her hips, he started to fuck her. Working her up and down his length, watching as she took him.

  He wasn’t wearing a condom.

  Rix slammed her back down on his length and he paused.

  No condom. Nothing between them. He was clean and he had no doubt she was. No, there was a risk of pregnancy. He should stop now. Be considerate. Did she want kids? Did he want kids?

  There were so many decisions to make.

  He’d never wanted to have kids but with his cock balls deep inside her and the thought of her being swollen with his kid, he couldn’t stop. It would give him unlimited access to her. Another reason for her to be his in every single way.

  Even as he thought about it, he knew he should stop.

  “Rix, what’s wrong?”

  He should tell her. Give her the choice.

  He held her even tighter and started to bounce her on his dick. Up and down he worked, fucking her harder. He was so close and as he came, he closed his eyes, gritting his teeth as his cum spilled out and filled her. Wave upon wave of it.

  Fuck, it felt good.

  Rix held her in place, thinking about the possibilities.

  She leaned back against him, sighing. “You know I want to say it, right?”

  “Wow?”

  “Yep.” She giggled. “Big wow. I could get used to this.”

  He could as well. He put his hand on her stomach, wondering what the fuck he’d just done. He wasn’t supposed to be this possessive over a woman and yet that was exactly what he was being.

  ****

  They were having some unseasonably warm weather and in a pink summer dress and a pair of flat shoes, Anna-Beth made her way to Elizabeth’s house.

  Rix had some business to attend to. She had a feeling he was meeting up with his crew, which was dangerous because he shouldn’t be wearing his leather cut or mixing with his club. She wouldn’t tell anyone but she also didn’t want to think about him getting locked up with the key thrown away.

  She liked him, a lot.

  Elizabeth sat in a deck chair in her front yard.

  “Hello, dear,” she said.

  “Hi. Rix wanted me to walk the dogs for you, if that’s okay.”

  “He’s a good man, he is. You and him, you’re hitting it off.”

  “We’re friends.”

  “Right, and that blush means there has been no kind of sex games either.”

  She couldn’t help but drop her mouth. Elizabeth laughed. “I was young once and if my William was still alive, as I said to the woman before you, or did I, it all mashes together, I’d be with him gladly. It’s good to find the right man for you.”

  Anna-Beth bent down and stroked the dogs. “Are you okay for me to walk them?”

  “Do you mind me coming along as well? I feel the need to stretch my legs. I don’t get enough exercise.”

  “I’d love the company.” Rix had a great deal of affection for Elizabeth. Out of all of the neighbors, she’d been the most welcoming. Everyone gave a wave and smiled, saying morning or evening, but Elizabeth actually made conversation. Rix talked often about having a full-on street barbeque but so far, they hadn’t tried to draw everyone together.

  With the dogs on leads, they made their way out of her yard and headed toward one of the fields that Anna-Beth hadn’t known was there.

  “How are you finding it here, sweetheart?” Elizabeth asked.

  “I love it. I’ve got a good job. I love my house.”

  “And how are you findin
g Rix?”

  “He’s a good guy.”

  “You’re both at that stage where you don’t believe, am I right? You think I’m a little old to be telling stories.”

  She laughed. “I don’t think that at all. You’re not the first person to tell me about the cursed houses. A colleague did.” They were still waiting on some information about the previous owners. She wasn’t entirely happy about the thought of invading other people’s lives, but this had to be farfetched.

  “You lived in the city, didn’t you, before coming here?” Elizabeth asked.

  “Yeah. It’s two different worlds, that’s for sure.” She shivered at the memory of the gun.

  “What about family?”

  “Both of my parents passed away a couple of years ago. I don’t have any family. It’s just me.”

  “Oh, honey, I’m so sorry.”

  “It’s fine.” She thought about Rix. He’d been a family to her in the short time they’d been together. “What about you?”

  “Don’t talk about me.” She waved her hand in the air.

  The field was a huge open space.

  “You can let them off the lead now. They will go crazy and run all over.”

  Anna-Beth did as instructed and watched the dogs run. She laughed as she put her hands on her hips.

  “You know, you remind me a little of myself when I was your age,” Elizabeth said.

  “I do?”

  “Yeah. You’ve got your life all mapped out. You know what you want but at the same time, you’re afraid to go get it. I understand. You’ve had heartbreak and you’ve been scared as well. It can cause anyone to want to take a step back from life. I get it. Believe me.” Elizabeth sighed. “This life, Anna-Beth, we only get one. Even eighty years, it sounds like a long time, but in reality, it’s not. Time flies, and we don’t get enough time to do everything. Don’t live your life with regrets.”

  “I don’t understand,” she said.

  “You do understand, you’re just afraid. Don’t be afraid. Live your life without regrets.” Elizabeth took her hand, holding it. “Whatever happens with Rix, embrace it. Don’t think, just allow your feelings to take over.”

  She laughed.

  The dogs each brought back a stick and she kept throwing them. When the dogs came back without the sticks and looked ready to call it a day, she put them back on the lead, and they started to make their way back to Elizabeth’s house. She declined a drink, wanting to get washed and changed for Rix’s return.
