Vindicator

V in knew that making Aggie his in the parking lot of Savage Heat wasn’t his finest idea, but it was all he could think about as he laid his seat back so that she could straddle him.

His phone dinged with a text message, and he knew that it had to be from Savage with the location of the safe house. “Not here,” he whispered against her lips. “We need to get someplace safe, and then, I plan on finding the nearest bed, couch, or wall to make you mine, Aggie.”

“Oh,” she gasped. “I’m not sure that I could still do the whole wall thing, Vin,” she teased.

“We can figure that all out later. Right now, we need to run by both of our places and grab a few things before we head out. The safe house that Savage found us is about a two-hour drive,” he said, looking over the message from his club’s Prez.

He started her car and pulled out of the parking lot, noticing the two cars parked on the side of the road. “Shit,” he whispered, “they already found us. Listen, I’ll get you some new things when we get to the safe house but right now, neither of us can go home to get our things. It’s not safe. I’m going to have to lose the two cars behind us, so this might take a while, honey,” he said.

“I’m not going anywhere, Vin,” she agreed, “take all the time you need.” It was nice hearing that Aggie trusted him with her life. He knew that trusting a man wasn’t easy for Aggie after how her second husband had treated her.

He had been friends with Aggie for years now, and to him, that marked her as off-limits. It’s why he filled his night with younger barflies, trying to forget how much he wanted Aggie, as though that was an option. He had loved her since he first met her, but she was a tough nut to break—until tonight. If he had known that putting her in danger was the way to her heart, he would have found a way to do it sooner.

They drove for hours, and when he was sure that he had finally lost both tails, he decided to head to the safe house. Aggie was asleep in the passenger seat and seeing her there, so peaceful, he hated waking her when they got to the house, but he couldn’t just leave her in the car. Plus, he had a promise to fulfill, if she still wanted him.

“Aggie, honey,” he whispered into her ear.

“Vin,” she moaned his name, and damn, if just the sound of her voice calling to him didn’t make him hard.

“Aggie,” he breathed, “wake up, honey.” She opened her eyes and gifted him with her shy, sleepy smile. She was sexy as fuck when she woke up—her hair tousled and her voice raspy from sleep.

“Let’s get you in the house,” he ordered.

“And then what?” she asked, smiling at him. He knew what he wanted to do next, but he wondered if Aggie was still up for it.

“And then, we can do whatever you want to do, honey,” he promised.

He helped her out of her car and shut the door. “I have a little confession to make to you, Vin,” she said.

“Oh, what’s that?” he asked.

“I don’t like you as a friend,” he stilled on the front porch before punching in the code that Savage had texted him.

“We’re no longer friends?” he asked. They had been friends for so long that Vin had forgotten how he was put into the friend’s zone with Aggie. If he remembered correctly, she had just come off a messy divorce with husband number two. And while he heard that she had faired well, it still seemed to take its toll on her.

“Nope,” she said, smiling up at him. “I like you more than a friend, I’ve just been to chicken to say it before.”

“What changed your mind?” he asked.

“You kissed me,” she reminded.

“If I remember things correctly, honey, you were the one who kissed me,” Vin insisted.

“Yes, but you finished the kiss,” Aggie challenged.

Before they could even get into the house, Vin had her pinned between his body and the exterior of the house. “Oh,” she whispered. “I like the way you think.”

He kissed her, working his tongue into her mouth, loving the little moans that she gifted him with. “I’m afraid that we can’t have sex out here on the front porch.”

Aggie gave him a little pout and he wanted to laugh. “Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of you, honey.” He meant it too. Vin planned on taking care of Aggie for the rest of his life if she let him, but that wasn’t something he planned on telling her at the moment. Right now, all Vin wanted to do was keep his promise.

He quickly punched in the code to open the front door and pushed his way into the quaint cabin. He didn’t bother to look around, they could take a tour of the place later. Vin grabbed Aggie’s hand and went on a mission to find the closest bedroom. Lucky for him, the master bedroom was on the first floor, so they didn’t have far to go.

“Are you sure about this, Vin?” Aggie asked.

“I am, but why would you ask me that?” he questioned.

“Because I’ve seen the women that you take home from the bar,” she said. “They are young, pretty, and built. I’m a few years older than them.” He smiled at her, and she sighed, “Okay, I’m a lot of years older than them, but I’m not ancient.”

“No, you aren’t, honey,” he agreed. He pulled her down onto the bed with him and stroked her unruly hair back out of her face. “I was trying not to think about how much I wanted you, so I thought that if I took one of the barflies home, they might help me to forget about you. You put me in the friend zone shortly after we met, and I haven’t been able to find a way out. I’ve all but given up on you liking me, Aggie.”

“I see,” she said. “I liked you, Vin, but I was too afraid that if I gave into my feelings for you, our relationship would end up like the one that I had with my second husband, and I’d lose you as a friend. I couldn’t let that happen, so yeah, I put you in the friend zone,” she admitted. “I was an idiot,” she insisted.

“I was too—by thinking that anyone could make me forget about you, Aggie,” he said. He rolled her under his body, and she wrapped her arms around him.

“I haven’t done this for a long time, Vin,” she admitted. “After my divorce from my second husband, ten years ago, I kind of gave up on finding love again and dating. I mean, I went out a few times with some local men, but they wanted a wife, and I didn’t want to be one of those again,” she said.

“You don’t?” he asked. He was hoping he might be able to change his mind, but Aggie was stubborn.

“No,” she said, “I told myself that I’d keep my options open, in case I ever met the right man, but he never showed up. Until now,” she whispered.

“That’s good to hear,” he breathed, sealing his lips over hers. Aggie worked his T-shirt over his head, and he sat up to do the same for her. She was beautiful inside and out, but he already knew that about her.

Within minutes, he had her naked and panting out his name, and he had to admit, it turned him inside out with need seeing her that way. “I want to taste you,” he begged.

“Later, right now, I just want to feel you on top of me. I need you, Vin,” she breathed. He was just happy to know that there would be a later, and he had to admit that he wouldn’t last long this first time. He had wanted Aggie for so long.

Vin kissed his way back up her body and when Aggie pushed him off her body, onto the bed, and straddled him, he knew that she was going to be a lot of fun in bed. He was used to women expecting him to be the dominant one, but Aggie wanted him just the way that he was. She didn’t seem to mind being on top and that was good with him.

“Is this okay?” she whispered.

“It’s more than okay, honey,” Vin insisted. She straddled his cock and when she helped guide his dick into her drenched folds, all he could do was moan and wait her out. It felt like hours, and not seconds until he completely filled her.

“Move for me, Aggie,” he groaned. “You’re killing me.” She slid up and down his cock, wiggling her curvy hips and he couldn’t help but touch her everywhere. He especially loved the way that she reacted to him pinching her nipples as she rode him. And when she came around his cock, calling out his name, he knew that he wasn’t going to last much longer.

Vin didn’t give her time to recover, rolling her under his body as soon as she had collapsed on top of him. He kissed her like a starving man, and when she stuck her tongue into his mouth, deepening the kiss, he lost himself deep inside of her. God, she was perfect for him, and she had no clue just how perfect.

“So, what happens now?” Aggie asked, cuddling into his side.

Vin wrapped his arms around her, tugging her closer. “Now, how about you put me out of my misery and move me out of the friend zone?” he asked.

“I think that can be arranged if you promise to stop dating barflies,” she challenged. She was always going to keep him on his toes, and he had to admit, he liked it.

“I think that I can arrange to never date another woman again, as long as you agree to marry me,” said. “I’ve been in love with you forever, Aggie, and I want to spend the rest of our forevers together. How about it?”

“Marry you?” she squeaked. God, everything about Aggie did it for him.

He waited her out and when she didn’t answer him right away, he worried that he had rushed her into something she might not be ready for.

“Yes, Vin,” she agreed. “I’d love to marry you.” And just like that, one little word from Aggie, and Vin was the happiest man on the planet.
