Teaching Aleck (The Last Hangman MC #2)(11)

He takes me back to reality as he gently bites down my neck, tracing a path down my neck and into my cleavage. I let out a long moan as he grinds against me again and starts to unbutton my jeans.

“Wait…” I say out of breath.

“What’s wrong, Gorgeous?” he says against my lips.

“Maybe we should slow down?” I say softly.

“I thought you wanted this?” He looks at me confused.

“I do, I just don’t want to rush things. I do like you Aleck, I have since the first time I met you. I don’t know what it is about you, but I like you and I want more than just a quick f*ck in your room at the compound when all your friends are outside.” I’m proud of myself for standing my ground, but seeing the look on his face, the feelings aren’t shared.

He sighs. “I like you too, Line,” he says brushing his knuckles down my cheek. “But I’m no good for you. I’m not boyfriend material and I don’t do relationships. You deserve so much better. I can’t give you what you want, I’m sorry. If you’re looking for some fun and a good time, I’m all for it, but that’s all it’ll ever be,” he says with finality and sits up.

“Things never change with you. This is the second time you’ve rejected me. I guess I should have been smarter and actually believed you the first time. I promise you Aleck, one day you’ll wake up and realize you’ve been living in the world on your own and alone, and it will be too late.” I kiss the corner of his mouth, get up and leave him. He doesn’t fight or try to hold me back, which hurts as much as the rejection. I thought I’d get through to him, but I never do. Or he never shows it, which is even more frustrating.

I walk out of the house and see Ayden, her mom and Cabe hug each other. I smile seeing them all so happy before turning away and leaving the party. I don’t have the heart to stay and see Aleck happy with his friends. I need to be on my own.

I start walking home, but get the uneasy feeling that somebody is watching me. I turn to see a couple of bikers walking behind me and staring at me. I don’t recognize them and start to freak out when they walk faster in my direction. I walk into the first store I see and sigh in relief when they start to walk past the shop. At the last minute, instead of walking past, they stop outside and look at me, staring and make a slitting throat motion. My blood turns to ice. I've never met these men, I have no idea who they are yet here they are threatening me? What the f*ck?

I hide in the store for a good ten minutes before calling a cab to drop me back home. I rush into my house when the taxi drops me off and make sure the alarm is on and the doors and windows are locked. I’m not one to freak out easily, but these two men were downright creepy.

At least it brought a much needed distraction from my little talk with Aleck.

I get a big tub of ice cream from the kitchen and head upstairs. I change into my pajamas and get comfy in bed to watch some TV.

I turn my phone off and just relax in bed whilst replaying my short time with Aleck in my head over and over again. It’s probably a stupid idea, but I can’t help it. I’m pretty sure nothing will ever happen again with him. He made it clear he doesn’t want a relationship or anything more than just casual sex and I’m not into that. I guess that’s what memories are for? To make your heart race at the thought of what happened, and make you wonder if anything more could have happened?

Ugh! I’m frustrating myself!

I know I could break down his walls, I’m sure of it, but he’s being so goddamned stubborn! Maybe a more aggressive approach would work with him? After all, Ayd said my innocence scared him.

I’ll give him some time and when he least expects it, I’ll try again to seduce him and succeed this time, he won’t know what hit him. I smirk to myself and eat a spoonful of delicious coconut ice cream with chocolate shavings.





CHAPTER 4



Aleck

I’m so f*cking stupid!

I had her right where I wanted her, and I let it all go to shit.

I punch the wall, frustrated with myself.

She wanted me, she was enjoying herself and me for that matter, she wanted it, but she backed down at the last minute I froze and shut down. She wants a relationship and I don’t. I can’t give that to her, yet she’s insistent on wanting one with me. I was not expecting her to reveal she still has feelings for me after all this time. I like her too, but it’s not going to happen, I can’t have a relationship.

I can’t believe I’m letting her mess with my head. She’s my one weakness. I can handle anything, just not Line being all innocent, beautiful, perfect, and tempting me into bed. I have no self-control when it comes to her, and I proved it tonight. I was ready to f*ck her right then and there. I was dry humping her like a f*cking sixteen year old kid.

I need to get a grip.

I don’t even want to go find another girl to ease the massive case of blue balls I’m suffering from right now. It would only make things worse. No woman can compare to Line, none.

I’m f*cked!

Gabe and Ant are going to get a kick out of this if they ever find out I have actually feelings for her.

Line can definitely handle herself and handle me. No woman, besides Ayden, ever laid it into me like she did, for the second time. I could see she was hurt, but she didn’t let it get in the way of her telling me I was basically a f*cking * and I deserved it. I need to protect myself…not just myself, but Line as well.
