MC Romance: Gravel A Motorcycle Bad Boy Obsession (Untamed Rider Forbidden Temptation Book 1) Read online

  Ben had never seen a more beautiful woman like Joss was. He had been with multiple women, he knew some of them but others were just strangers to him. He wouldn’t recall some of them. However, there was something special about Joss from the moment he met her at the gas station, and then again at the restaurant. He knew he wanted her and hoped he would have a chance with her after the party.

  When Joss approached Ben’s table, his friends applauded at her. There were other girls sitting on the other men’s laps. Others were dancing as the waiters delivered their orders. She walked to where Ben was sitting but he arose from his seat. He held her by the hand and pulled her to him. She seemed more scared than excited.

  “Sorry if I hurt you.” Ben said when he noticed that she wasn’t happy. Usually when he pulled women to him, they seemed pretty charmed by the move.

  “No, it’s okay.” Joss said, facing down to avoid Ben’s sharp eyes. She was usually shy but she fought it.

  Ben sat down and just as Joss reached out to get another chair, Ben sat her on his lap. She wanted to resist but she wouldn’t. She wanted to fit in and seeing the other girls drinking while sitting on the other bikers laps, she stayed. She couldn’t find the right words to express how she felt at that moment. Ben waved his hand and a waiter came rushing towards where they were seated.

  “What would you like to drink?” Ben asked, looking straight at Joss.

  “I’ll have what you are having.” She replied.

  She had never tasted alcohol all her life. She had been indoors most of her life but she had always watched people on TV.

  “Okay, two beers please.” Ben said.

  “Right away Mr. Brighton.” The waiter said as he left the table. He walked to the counter and ordered two cold beers before returning to their table. He opened the bottles and handed one to Joss and the other to Ben.

  “Mr. Brighton, huh.” Joss said in a low voice.

  “They always call me that around here. But call me Ben.” Ben insisted.

  His father, George Brighton was well known as he owned an oil company. People often respected Ben knowing that he was the son of a local tycoon.

  “You come here often?” She continued as she took her first sip from the bottle, just like the other ladies were. She choked on the beer and spilled some on Ben’s shirt.

  “Oh my God, I am so sorry.” She uttered.

  “It’s okay Joss,” Ben said as he wiped his shirt using the Kleenex tissues on the table. “You’ve never tasted alcohol in your life, have you?” He asked.

  “No.” Joss admitted, ashamed that she knew almost nothing about life. “I am so embarrassed.” She said.

  “Don’t be, we all started somewhere you know.” Ben said, caressing her back gently.

  “It’s confusing how you are well known around here yet your accent differs.” She continues. Something inside of her wanted to really know Ben. He seemed like a nice person.

  “I lived in London until I was eleven, with my mother. I haven’t been able to shed off the accent but I try.” Ben explained. He held Joss and laid her head on his chest.

  “Well, that explains it.” Joss said, contented with his response.

  “Since you are asking me questions, I’ve got to ask this; why are you on a road trip? You’re like nineteen.” He asked.

  “Some things are better left unsaid Ben Brighton.” Joss replied as she reached out for her beer. This time she took a large sip from the bottle but this time she didn’t choke.

  “Easy.” Ben cautioned her.

  “Be my teacher Ben.” Joss said. She really needed to have fun, at least one night where she didn’t have to worry about nothing.

  “With pleasure Joss.” He said back to her. She was so innocent and vulnerable in his arms. A part of him wanted to rip her clothes off and make sweet love to this beautiful girl he just met but he just couldn’t do it. He needed her to open up to him as he could tell she was a troubled soul.

  Chapter 4

  It surprised Joss how comfortable and safe she felt with Ben. She had never had someone to lean on except Lucy, who was like a sister to her. She sat on his laps and she could feel herself get carried away by the passion he had. She wasn’t sure if she was just lonely or she was really attracted to Ben. She had been drinking beer after beer until the bikers ordered endless shots of Bourbon whiskey.

  “I am not sure you should start doing this love.” Ben warned Joss as she reached out for the liquor.

  “Why not, you’ll take care of me, won’t you now.” Joss retorted, imitating the British accent from Ben. Everybody laughed at her but she was too drunk to realize what she just did. Instead, she laughed with everybody else.

  “Hey, bitch.” One of Ben’s friends approached her. She held her by the waste and pulled her close to him. Joss was scared but she didn’t flinch. Instead, she just stood there. She swept her eyes across the bar room looking for Ben but she couldn’t find him. He was the only person who seemed to care what happened to her. Luckily, she saw him coming from the washrooms.

  “What’s going on here?” Ben asked as he rushed towards the two. Joss seemed to be struggling to get away from the man.

  “Easy, man.” The man said pushing Ben away. A wave of anger swept through Ben but he composed himself. The last thing he needed that particular night was to fight. He held Joss’ hand and pulled her away from the guy.

  “Don’t touch her again Chris. Just leave her alone.” Ben said, composing himself not to punch him in the face.

  “Did he do anything to you, love?” He asked Joss.

  “No, he didn’t. But thanks for looking out for me.” Joss said. She was completely drunk from the multiple drinks she had had that night.

  It was around 11pm when she finally decided to go back to her room. She needed to get enough rest before she could drive towards Los Angeles the next morning.

  “I really need to throw up.” She said when they approached her room. Ben carried her in his arms and rushed her to the bathroom. She had started vomiting on him and the floor.

  “Hey, take it easy.” Ben said as he held her hair back when she leant down to the toilet. She was vomiting her heat out at that moment.

  “This is gross.” Joss said. “Go away.”

  “No, I have done this before.” Ben said. He wanted to stay with her until she was okay. She was too delicate.

  Joss freshened up after the messy evening before joining Ben who sat on the bed waiting for her.

  “Are you alright?” He asked.

  “Yes, thanks for staying with me.” She said, barely looking at him.

  “I brought you into this mess. So I have to make sure that you’re okay.” Ben said standing up as if to leave. “I hope you will be fine Joss.”

  “Stay a little bit longer.” She uttered out loud. For some reason she wanted him to stay.

  “Are you sure you want me to stay?” Ben was unsure but he really wanted to stay. He had wanted this from the moment he saw her and he could say no to her.

  “Yeah, of course I want you to stay the night.” Joss said. She sat beside him quietly. She had no idea what to speak to him about. He was the sweetest person she had ever met.

  Ben put his arms around him and pulled Joss close to him. She felt fragile in his strong arms but he was careful not to hurt her. She felt comforted and raised her chin to look at him. The two looked at each other straight to the eye for a minute before their lips met. Ben hungrily kissed her soft lips with passion; she kissed him back and for a moment they were lost in the world of pleasure. Ben laid her on the bed as they kissed. He lay on top of her. They broke away from the kiss and Ben looked at Joss in the eye and she smiled in acknowledgement.

  “Slow down.” She said when Ben almost tore her top apart. A part of her wanted him to rip her clothes apart but then again she was scared of intimacy. Maybe all men were like Mark, would he end up hurting her or would he listen to her.

  “You have done this before, right?” Ben asked. He wanted her to
be as comfortable as possible. He never would do anything with her as long as she approved.

  “I have but I didn’t like it.” She said between heavy breaths. “The boy wouldn’t listen to me at all.” She added.

  At this point, Ben didn’t know the right words to say to her to make her feel calm. He stared at her wondering what kind of an idiot would bear to see this beautiful girl get hurt. He didn’t know whether to go ahead and make sweet love to her or to stop. He was torn between the two.

  “Hey, it doesn’t mean I don’t want to.” Joss said when she noticed Ben was confused and had slowed down.

  “I don’t know Joss. If you were just any other person, I would have done this earlier, believe me I don’t hesitate.” Ben said, sitting up on the bed.

  “And what’s stopping you. I am just any other girl you met at a gas station.” Joss continued.

  “No Joss. You aren’t just any other girl. You are special, and believe me you, I mean it.” Ben emphasized.

  “I have no idea what makes you say that Ben.” Joss said.

  “I think I will leave now. Take care of yourself.” He said before he left her room.

  Joss couldn’t understand why he suddenly left. She really wanted to have him for the night. This was juts but a part of life she wanted to experience. She ran after him before he went down the stairs.

  “Please stay. I insist.” She said.

  Ben turned around to face her and she kissed him deeply. He couldn’t resist kissing her back. Joss held his hand and led him back to her room. Before they got into the room, Ben pressed Joss against the wall and kissed her passionately. There was nothing he wanted more than to feel his body against hers. He swept her off her feet and she wrapped her long legs around his waist. Ben kicked the door open and put Joss on her bed. She had started moaning from the kisses but Ben wouldn’t stop. She loved every trail he left on her body with his moist lips. He hurriedly took off his shirt before helping Joss out of hers. He got even more aroused when her perky breasts. She wasn’t wearing any bra. The scene of her naked body sent chills down his spine.

  “Are you okay?” Joss asked him when she noticed that Ben was still staring at her breasts.

  “I am more than okay love.” He replied as he pressed her against the soft fabric of the duvet spread on her bed. He resumed kissing her but with time with vigor and desire. He could feel his blood boiling through his vessels.

  Joss was enjoying every pleasurable moment with Ben. He paid attention to all her spots and this almost made her jump out of her skin. She had never in her life wanted anything more than she wanted Ben in her. She was yearning for his erect manhood which she could feel pressing against her. She undid his black jeans letting his erection out. Her eyes popped out at the sight of him. Ben hurriedly took off her shorts and kissed her slowly, but it took her breath away. He wanted to drive his manhood in her and thrust hard but he couldn’t. He remembered she had told him that it had not been as exciting the first time. He swore to be the guy who would make it up to her.

  Joss was running out of breath. She could feel Ben’s erection at her opening. She was excited and wanted him to driving in but he kept teasing her. He finally entered her slowly and Joss gasped for air. He was big, bigger that she had imagined. He drove in and out, slowly at first but increased his pace. She was moaning softly as she dug her nails into his back. Ben kept going, paying attention at her every move. The two moved in unison as they made love. She had never been happier. She felt a strong wave sweep rough her and they both climaxed. Ben kissed her before he rolled over. Their bodies were covered in sweat and they were both humping.

  “Baby you are the sweetest girl I have ever met.” Ben said as he kissed her on the forehead.

  She smiled warmly as Ben moved closer to her and cuddled her to sleep. The two fell asleep in each other’s arms as the night went by.

  Chapter 5

  Joss woke up the next morning with her head feeling heavy. She had drunk too much alcohol for a beginner. She remembered everything about Ben but she couldn’t find him on her bed. She thought he had gone to the bathroom to freshen up but he wasn’t. However, he had left a note on the nightstand which read;

  Sorry I had to leave without saying a proper good bye. Please call me through this number.

  Ben.

  She was angry at him. How could he leave her juts like that? Maybe it was just sex to him but for some reason, it meant much more than just sex to her. It was the most erotic moment she had ever had in her life. She had enjoyed every moment he held her in his arms. She had felt safe, and loved; a feeling she was not used to. After all, it was just an encounter, nothing more, she said you herself as she tossed the piece of paper in the dirt bin at the corner of her room. She couldn’t afford to stay at the motel for another night. She had to make more memories during her trip.

  She went into the bathroom and took a long warm shower. It was still tingling between her legs from last night. She gently washed herself clean before dressing in a white bubble dress. She repacked her bags and left the room. Her car was brought to her and she drove off after clearing her bills. In the car, she wondered what life held for her. She had set her mind that she would go to Los Angeles, one of the expensive cities around the world.

  She was only a few hours to Los Angeles. She was scared that she would not be able to live on her own. She had to get some work at some point since all she had was a few hundred dollars. Lucy had suggested that once she got to LA, it would be better if she got herself a job. That could have at least catered for her upkeep while she was on the road. She remembered how her mother had sung beautiful songs to her. She would make her sleep after singing multiple lullaby songs until she grew up, then her mother would make her sing. She could sing sad songs for her mom for hours, and watch her cry.

  “Come on, please sing for me sweetie” Her mother would say to her while preparing dinner in the kitchen.

  “Which song mommy?” Little Joss would ask. She had always thought that it had been their thing until one day she refused to sing. She had been sad all day but her mother insisted that she should sing.

  “But mum, I don’t want to sing. I am too tired today.” She had said.

  “Why are you doing this to me Joss?” Her mother retorted.

  “I am sorry mommy. I will sing for you.” Joss finally gave in. At that point, she noticed that her mother was unwell. Sadly, she didn’t know any of their other relatives. She should have sought help from them and maybe her mother would have been alive. By the time she realized that she had been sick since they lost her father and brother, there was literally nothing that would have saved her. She wouldn’t take her medicine and she wouldn’t talk to no other than Joss.

  Joss fell a tear fall on her cheek. Every memory she had of her mother was painful. She didn’t deserve to suffer the way she had. The night before her mother passed away, Joss had prepared dinner for them. Her mother had insisted that she should have prepared dinner for four, like she used to but Joss wasn’t crazy.

  “Why didn’t you count you father and brother for dinner Joss?” Her mother had asked.

  “Mom, they are never coming back.” She had replied. She had always known that she would never meet the two but her mother had insisted on the cooking.

  “Don’t you ever talk about them like that?” Her mother exclaimed.

  “Mom, they are gone. Why do you keep insisting that they are coming back to us? You should accept and move on mom.” Joss said. It was at this point where she realized that her mother had gotten worse. She had almost killed her after attacking her with the kitchen knife. Joss had run out of the house into the backyard. Her mother would not accept to step out of the house.

  “Joss, come back in here.” She had never had called out but Joss had gone to the Andersons.

  Her thoughts were interrupted by the sight of the bill board which read:

  WELCOME TO LOS ANGELES

  She smiled to herself’. She was excited to get to the only
city she had always wanted to live in. All she could see were posh cars and beautiful people. She slowed down so that she could get a good view o the city. She knew she wouldn’t be able to spend time in an expensive hotel since she didn’t have enough money. She would get a job as a waitress or bartender. She would settle for any job in LA to keep her there. She needed this. This was the life she wanted, a little girl was allowed to dream big and this was coming true.

  She pulled over in front of a simple looking restaurant. There weren’t many people around, she parked her car and walked in. A waiter came towards her with a warm smile and menu in his hands. He was good looking and the uniform fit him perfectly.

  “Welcome to our restaurant.” The waiter said handing her the menu. She was completely overjoyed. For the very first time in her life, people were being nice to her. The world was the opposite of what her mother had told her.

  “Thank you….Greg.” She said, looking up to read the name tag on the waiter’s shirt. She smiled back at him.

  She went through the menu. She was surprised that everything was above a hundred dollars. She knew it was going to be hard to live there but she was up to the challenge.

  “I’ll have fries and sparkling water.” She said, trying to hide her surprise from Greg.

  “Right away Ma’am.” Greg said as he walked back to the kitchen to place her orders.

  When she sat there waiting for her order, she thought she would call Lucy. She hadn’t talked to her since the day before and she had promised to call when she got there. She took out her cell phone and dialed Lucy’s number who picked up almost immediately.

  “Hey you.” She said from the other end.

  “Hey girl. Didn’t I miss you?” Joss said. She was excited to hear her voice. Lucy had been the only friend she ever had.
