I stayed with her through every wave, easing the pressure only when her cries turned breathless, and her thighs started trembling too hard to hold themselves open. Her release coated my fingers and tongue, and I licked her slowly while she twitched through the aftershocks, not wasting a damn drop because I was already addicted to the taste of her.
By the time I finally lifted my head, my chest was heaving, my jeans were painfully tight, and Saylor had melted backward on the table like I’d taken every thought out of her head and left only pleasure behind. I stood just enough to gather her against me, and her forehead dropped against my shoulder. I felt her shaky little laugh before I heard it. I kissed the side of her head, entirely too satisfied with myself and not remotely interested in pretending otherwise.
I brushed my mouth against her ear and let the smugness bleed into my voice. “Dinner’s probably cold now, but I don’t give a shit, baby. Best fucking meal I’ve had all week.”

SAYLOR
The final bell had rung almost twenty minutes ago, but I was still dragging my feet on leaving. It had been a long week, and I was tired. But there was a happy little hum underneath it all as I gathered my things.
I paused in the doorway of my classroom and glanced next door. Rain was still at her desk, and she looked up, grinning when she saw me. “Heading out to see that man of yours? I swear, Century’s got you wifed up. Should I start calling you an old lady yet, or are we waiting for the patch?”
I laughed, leaning against the doorframe. “You’re ridiculous. We literally only met each other three weeks ago.”
“Mm-hmm. Keep telling yourself that,” she replied with a knowing wink. “Have fun tonight!”
I waved goodbye and headed down the hallway toward the staff parking lot, smiling. Rain hadn’t been entirely wrong about Levi and me because I had spent most of my nights at the clubhouse since that first one. Waking up wrapped in Levi’s arms, I was happier than I could ever remember being. Our relationship was moving quickly, but it felt right.
Stepping into the late afternoon sun, I squinted down at my purse to grab my keys, already looking forward to seeing Levi. I had just reached my car when Sutton suddenly stepped out from behind it, directly into my path.
She looked terrible. Her clothes were wrinkled, her hair was messy, and her eyes were wild. I’d never seen her disheveled like this. She usually took so much pride in her looks.
Whatever trouble she’d brought this time was bad.
“Saylor.” Her voice cracked, and she started crying.
The tears came fast, but I could tell they were born from fear, not remorse.
“It was a coincidence,” she blurted out. “Me being in Crossbend at the same time as you. I swear. I conned the wrong guy in a dangerous MC, and they figured it out before I could get away clean. These aren’t the kind of men who let someone pay them back and just walk away. They definitely don’t hand problems over to the cops.”
She peeked at me through wet lashes, but I just crossed my arms over my chest and waited for her to spill all the details of how badly she’d messed up.
“They forced me to pay off my debt by doing a job for them.” She swiped at her eyes, her hands shaking. “I was supposed to seduce and manipulate Century. Get him to spill critical technical secrets and racing information about the Redline Kings. But I drank too much that night. I got sloppy, came on too strong, and they threw me out of The Burnout before I could get anything useful.”
I couldn’t stop the chuckle that slipped past my lips at anyone thinking Levi would betray his club that way. “Yeah, I’m aware of what happened that night.”
I saw a flicker of anger in her eyes before she could mask it, confirming my suspicion that she was putting on an act in the hope of conning me.
“Once I sobered up and realized I’d blown my chance with Century, I panicked. So I ran before they could come for me.”
I stood there listening, disgust rolling through me but not exactly shock. Sutton had spent years creating disasters and expecting everyone else to deal with the consequences. Too many times, that someone had been me.
“I already figured out most of this.” This time, her wide-eyed reaction was actually real. She had thought I was completely in the dark. “Those guys cornered me at the racetrack. They thought I was you.”
“Oh, sorry.”
Her weak, watery apology didn’t sound like she really cared that she’d dragged me into her mess. Yet again.
Something she quickly proved when her expression shifted. She perked up like she’d just had a brilliant idea, and I immediately recognized the conniving look in her eyes.
