CHAPTER FOURTEEN STRESS RELIEF

Brayden—

“Stay the night with me.”

It’s late, and I should return to the motel, but when Rebel asks me to stay, I can’t refuse her. Besides, I’m still worried about the garage doors being vulnerable to break-ins.

I nod. “Let me text my brother.”

ME: I ran into that girl from the other night. Gonna stay with her tonight.

TJ: OK

I smile. My brother, a man of many words. I toss my phone on the nightstand and shift my arm around Rebel. She snuggles against my chest, laying her cheek against my skin, then presses a kiss there.

“If you weren’t in pain, I’d jump your bones,” she teases.

My chest shakes with my laugher. “Ow, that hurts.”

“If you’re not better in the morning, I’m taking you to the doc-in-the-box,” she threatens.

My hand strokes up and down her back, and I stare at the ceiling. I know I need to tell her, and maybe it shouldn’t be hard, but this is big for me. I rarely let people in. “I’d rather not.”

“Why? You one of those tough guys who never go to doctors?”

“That’s not it.” I blow out a long breath. “Remember that wrestling injury I told you about?”

“Yes.” She senses the conversation has shifted to something serious and goes up on an elbow to look in my face.

“Well, at the time, the doctor I saw prescribed me some painkillers. Opioids. It wasn’t long before I was sucked into addiction. I hid it from my father, my mother, my friends. Only one who found out was my brother, TJ. He did his best to cover for me and drag me out of trouble. Eventually, he helped me get clean. I prospected for the club, and I knew if I ever backslid, my father would yank my patch. So, I struggled with the pain, trying to use only over-the-counter meds.”

“You never told him?”

“Nope. TJ was against me coming out here on this trip, because he knew how much pain riding that long distance would cause me. But I didn’t want my father to suspect anything or to think I was a pussy, so I…”

“So, you sucked it up and came, anyway.”

“Yeah.”

“And you’ve been in pain all this time?”

“Not all the time. And what you did has helped a lot.”

“That’s it, then. We’re going to see a doctor.”

“No.”

“Then maybe my friend can help you.”

“The acupuncture chick? No thanks.”

“It’s one or the other, mister. You choose.”

“Goddamn, you’re tough.”

“I’m not letting you do this to yourself. You’re going to get help. You’re not going to go on suffering.”

I can’t say no to this girl. “Fine. Whatever you say, baby.”

“Smartest thing you’ve said all night.” She grins big and strokes the placket of my jeans. “You know what else relieves stress and tension?”

I grin. “I like the way you think, pretty girl.”

She undoes my jeans and moves between my legs, pulling my hard cock out. It springs forward into her eager hands, and I can’t peel my gaze away from the sight of her wetting her lips, then lowering her mouth around my waiting cock.

My hands cup her head, fingers threading into her silky hair. “Fuck, yeah,” I hiss.

It’s so good—better than anything my imagination conjured up. I love watching my dick slide in and out of her waiting mouth. I rock my hips, thrusting slowly, and it’s exquisite pleasure and absolute torture at the same time. I feel a tightening in my balls, my aching desire amping up until it becomes a driving need.

My fists tighten in her hair, taking control and increasing the pace.

God, I never want it to stop. I want to thrust in and out of her mouth like this all night.

My muscles ripple, and my skin is covered is a fine sheen.

“Don’t stop, baby,” I pant, and she moans deep in her throat. It sends me over the edge, and I explode. After she pulls away, I drag her over my body until her knees straddle my chest. My hands grab her ass and haul her dripping pussy to my waiting mouth, and I return the favor.

I keep her pressed tightly to me, never giving her clit a respite until she’s shaking and bucking. I slip two fingers inside and find that magic trigger that drives her insane, and take up stroking her clit with my thumb, while I bring my mouth to her bobbing breasts and latch onto one nipple, tugging hard and pinching the other.

Her back arches, and her head flies back, and she comes all over my hand, screaming her pleasure.

After she melts on top of me, panting, I hold her close and press kisses all over her face, then cuddle her to my side, and we both drift off.
