Dragon

6 - What I almost did

Dragon

I hate collecting from BlackPussy. Though the strip club belongs to Snakes Henchmen MC, and it’s our job to pick up takings at the end of each week, I’d rather gouge out my eyes.

I don’t mind rocking up at a strip club with my brothers. I’ll even enjoy myself, watching the girls shake their asses for us; I’m a man, not a monk. I’m not dead in the pants area either; of course, naked women get my dic.k hard, though I never touch the women. I do not need that. But that doesn’t mean I want to head over there during the damn day.

The reason I don’t want to go over there, the same reason Eagle is laughing his head off for, is because of Talisha. He’s laughing because he’s the one I told about what happened.

Talisha is a girl Kyla and I went to school with. She was Kyla’s best friend and sometimes hung out with us after school.

Talisha was a geeky-looking girl with braces and huge glasses. She was bullied, but certainly knew how to take care of herself. If some of those kids could see the woman Talisha grew into, they’d die of shock.

When she came to Jett, asking for a job at BlackPussy, I instantly knew who I was looking at. She smirked and said, ‘Hey, Dragon, long time, no see.’ It had been years since I saw Talisha. She’d moved away from Bardsville with her family a year after Kyla moved away. She knew me as Connor, but had enough respect to read the name on my patch and use it.

Talisha was stunning; her dark skin shone, her teeth were bright white and perfectly straight. She’d straightened her hair, and her t**s were fake, but her ass was all real. I couldn’t deny that looking at her made my dic.k twitch.

Jett gave Talisha a job, and she worked hard for the club. Two years later, and Talisha is now the manager. She’s in charge of the girls and making sure none are bringing drugs into the club. We run a ‘no drugs’ policy; any woman found taking drugs is fired on the spot.

Talisha also makes sure that the girls aren’t screwing the customers on club grounds. What they do in their own time is their own business. But Jett does not take kindly to the girls prostituting themselves on his property.

I stupidly told Storm a month ago about Talisha coming on to me, right after telling Eagle. Storm and I are incredibly close, and we tell each other everything. I went to collect the takings for that week and stayed for a drink in her office. There, Talisha proceeded to remove her dress, standing in front of me in nothing but a see-through bra and thong set, with four-inch heels on her feet.

I won’t lie; my dic.k was rock solid.

How could it not be with her body oiled and her skin begging to be licked?

Talisha straddled my lap and wrapped her arms around my neck. I kept my arms by my sides until she kissed my neck. I could not bring myself to let her kiss my lips. But I wanted to fuc.k her so hard right then that I gripped her wide hips and pulled her down against my coc.k through my jeans.

She groaned while kissing my cheek, rubbing her thong-covered puss.y against my erectio.n, and whispering in my ear how much she wanted me and had since she saw me again.

I had visions of her riding my dic.k hard and fast until I came inside her incredible body. I wanted to bend her over the desk and fuc.k that fat ass of hers until she screamed my name.

But then she whispered something, ‘I know you still miss Kyla, but she’s not here anymore. I can make you forget. I can make you feel good. I feel how hard you are for me, Dragon. Tell me you want me, big boy.’

Just the mention of Kyla’s name snapped me out of the fog. I instantly felt sick, my dic.k deflated, and I pushed Talisha off my lap and stood up.

How could I have almost done the one thing I swore not to do?

‘Dragon, what’s wrong?’

I looked at Talisha, standing there in front of me, and I felt terrible for leading her on. ‘I’m sorry, Tal, this shouldn’t have happened.’

‘What did I do? You were fine before I mentioned Kyla. Are you seriously still hung up on someone you haven’t seen in nine years?’

I rolled my neck. ‘Look, this will never happen again. You’re an incredibly beautiful woman, and yes, you turned me on. But I can’t do this, Tal.’ I grabbed the takings off the desk and left. I haven’t been back since, nor have I spoken to Talisha.

I knew I’d have to return to BlackPussy sooner rather than later; I just thought it would be later. Though I’m in luck because I don’t see Talisha anywhere.

I walk through the club, not speaking to anyone. I’m not here to join in conversations with strippers. Not that there’s anything wrong with the women who work here. They’re good girls, and the Snakes take care of them; I’m just not in a talkative mood right now.

“Still trying to avoid me, Dragon?”

I take a deep breath before turning to face Talisha. I was just about to enter her office when she snuck up behind me.

What do I have to do to catch a break today?

“I’m here to collect, nothing more.”

Talisha sighs and opens her office door. I follow her inside, but leave the door open. Not that I think she’ll attack me, but I need to get out of here. I don’t have time for chit chat. I may have told Eagle to convince the others to back off, but that doesn’t mean they won’t come looking for me if I’m too long.

“I hate this,” Talisha mumbles.

I don’t say anything, so she looks up at me, and I can see the hurt in her eyes. I never wanted to hurt her in any way; she’s my friend.

“Can’t we just put what happened behind us, Dragon? Not that much happened, but I miss you. You’re my friend. If you’d told me how you still feel about Kyla, I never would have tried anything. I’m really sorry, Dragon.”

“Tal,” I breathe deeply through my nose.

I shouldn’t have pushed her away for following her instincts. I must have given off the impression that I wanted to have se.x with her, or she wouldn’t have believed that I did.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to make you feel like this. What happened wasn’t just your fault. At that moment, I wanted you as much as you wanted me, you know that.”

She nods her head.

“But once you said Kyla’s name, it was like someone had thrown ice water over my head. I promised that I’d wait for her, and there I was breaking that promise.”

Talisha smiles at me. “I’ve never met anyone as sweet as you,”

I narrow my eyes while making a face, which causes her to laugh loudly.

“I know, I know you’re a big bad biker like your friends. Bikers have a rep to protect, and everyone needs to believe you’re all evil monsters who do terrible things to people. But you have a big heart, Dragon, and it has belonged to our best friend for years.

“I don’t know if Kyla will ever come back, but I hope that she does. I also hope that the two of you can have everything you dream of.”

Talisha walks around her desk and hands me this week’s takings in a large envelope.

“Can I give you a piece of advice?”

I nod my head.

“Don’t wait forever, Dragon. If Kyla comes back for you, then great. But there’s a real chance that she won’t, and I don’t want you to waste your life waiting. Give it a few more months, then move on, Dragon. You just turned twenty-four, yet you’re living like a monk, hoping the girl you once knew still loves you enough to come back to you. You’re beating yourself up about having natural urges as a man when you don’t need to. You deserve to be happy, Dragon, don’t forget that.”

Talisha leans in and kisses my cheek before walking away.

Everything she said is right, and I know that I can’t wait forever. But there is something inside of me that tells me not to give up just yet.

Kyla, I wish you were here with me right now. I still miss you every day, and I long to hold you. But I can’t, and I’m starting to believe that I never will again. I hope you’re happy wherever you are, and that your life is the best it can be.

Time for me to meet up with my biker brothers. I chuckle to myself as I imagine them all disagreeing with Eagle. I suppose I could go on a date with a woman; it’s not like I have to sleep with the girl. Perhaps that will satisfy Storm and the others for a while.

They won’t be satisfied until you’ve had se.x and told them about it, Dragon.

I laugh to myself while mounting my motorcycle. I don’t know what my brother’s obsession is, but maybe I should tell him that I’m gay. None of them would know where to put their faces! Then again, knowing DJ, he’d hook me up with a man, then sit back and see what happened. Bastard would call my bluff.

I breathe in the fresh air as I ride down Main Street. I have a feeling in my gut that something is coming. I can’t tell if it’s good or bad, but I know it’s something to do with my brother.

Whatever it is, it better not involve a woman, or I’ll break his balls!
