Hold Me Closer: A Rebel Walking Novel by Hilary Storm Read Free Book Online Page A

"I'll get a hotel for tonight."
    "No you can stay with me again."
    "You've already done enough.  I can't stay again."
    "Are you saying you didn't enjoy your stay?"
    "No , I did.  I just don't want to overstay my welcome."
    " I promise you.  You won’t.  What time will you get out of here?" 
    "The bar closes at two in the morning.  I'm usually out about ten minutes afterward."
    "Okay.  I need to look around here and then check in with the guys, so I'll see you tonight."

    This night seems to be dragging.  Knowing where I'll be again tonight probably has something to do with it.  Memories of last night keep fucking with my head and I can't help but look forward to spending another night with him.  The security system being installed tomorrow has its benefits, and spending more time with him is the most important one.
    "So , how did your date last night go?"  I knew Gus would give me the third degree.
    "It went really good.  Well , that is until someone broke into my house."
    "What?  You didn't call me?"
    "No.  We called the police."
    "You still should've called me.  Did they catch the guy?"
    "No.  They were gone when the police arrived.  Actually, they didn't leave a single sign that they had been there.  If I hadn't seen the desk drawer open, I would've never known someone had been in there."
    "Lyns, you should'v e called me.  Did anything get damaged?"
    "No , nothing."
    "How do you think they got in?"
    "I have no idea.  Holden has had all my windows replaced and a security system will be installed tomorrow."
    "Do you want me to stay with you tonight?" 
    "No.  I'm going to stay at Holden's house."
    "Well , I guess the date did go great if you're already shacking up with him."
    "Shut up.  You have no room to talk."
    "I'm just teasing.  He seems like an okay guy, especially if he's taking care of all of that for you."
    "He runs a security team and it's right up his alley.  Last night was one of the best nights that I can remember.  It was nice to be treated like I'm appreciated."
    "I like him even more."
    "That's good, Mr . Over Protective.  What was that about last night?"
    "I was just scoping out your latest scum.  You do have sucky taste in men, so you can't blame me for hating him before he had a chance."
    "This guy is different.  I'm not saying he's the one.  I'm just saying that he treats me differently than the others.  So even if it's just the start of a friendship, I'm going to see where it goes."
    " You know I'll be here for you either way.  You better call me if anymore bullshit happens.  Looks like you have company."
    "I will."   I turn to see Holden and Aiden coming through the door.  Every girl in the room instantly becomes aware of the hotness that radiates from both of them.
     
    "What are you doing here?"
    "Just thought I'd make sure you get out of here alright."
    "Are you like my stalker now?"  His teasing g rin is soooooo damn sexy.
    "I guess I am."
     
    I feel his eyes on me for almost an hour while I try to work.  I'm considering this foreplay because it's working just as well for me.  Gus pushes me to leave as soon as last call is announced and I don't object.  Aiden took it upon himself to leave a few minutes ago, so it's just Holden and I when it's time to walk out.
     
    We leave in his truck and he gets maybe three blocks down the road before I let my hand roam over the bulge in his jeans.  The smile on his face is worth every ounce of courage that took.  I don't stop rubbing until he pulls over on the side of the road. 
    He unbuckles quickly and moves over me before I have a chance to remove my own buckle.  We both battle the latch and before I know it, I'm leaning against the door, feeling his hot mouth consume mine.  His fingers slide under my shirt and he's lifting it over my head just as I'm ripping his over his back. 
    "You're so fucking sexy."  He's towering over me with his knees on the seat as I slide further south over his abs.  I
