Legends

To caveman or not to caveman......

Allie's POV

I was sitting at the table on the band bus with one leg raised to rest my chin on it while I bit my lip in concentration. I had been trying to focus but couldn't. Was really mad at myself because it seemed that the only photo I could focus on was the one I had unknowingly snapped of Brantley's ass. Geez, what the hell was wrong with me. We were somewhere halfway between Florida and Alabama. I had woken up earlier because I couldn't sleep with Jesse snoring above me.

I'd gotten up, got dressed in a pair of jeans with a long- sleeved t-shirt before throwing my hair up into a messy bun. Ben had stumbled sleepily to his bunk when I'd shook him awake earlier off the couch. Kolby had stayed on Brantley's bus last night. I had hauled ass to head to bed when we got back from eating so I could avoid B trying to corner me. I just couldn't do this right and didn't know if I ever could. It had been so much easier when he had been out of sight out of mind.

I felt the bus pull in somewhere then shrugged. Must be stopping for fuel because I didn't think we were scheduled to stop and eat until we got to Tuscaloosa. I heard the brakes then tried to focus on what I needed to be working on. They wanted a few new photos to put up on the website and were waiting on me to email them in. I focused back in on my computer screen when the bus door banging open made me jump.

What the fuck? I heard stomping footsteps and briefly wondered if the bus was being hijacked. My jaw dropped as Brantley strolled in a second later fixing me with a stare. I swallowed deeply as he crossed his arms then smirked at me. I could see the way the gray t-shirt stretched across his chest under his leather jacket and bit back a whimper. The faded jeans, chains, boots, and black hat were not helping matters either. Kolby skidded to a stop behind him then stood up straight grinning at me. Shit, this was not gonna be good at all.

"Allie Cat," Brantley rumbled staring me down then taking a couple of steps closer. Kolby was snickering behind him. Oh, someone was about to die. Was just a matter of which jackass would be first. "We need to talk."

"The hell we do," I snapped glaring up at him. "I think we said enough Brantley."

"Possibly," he said rubbing a hand over his beard. He held a hand out to me with a tentative smile. "But please take a ride with me anyway."

"I will take a ride with you when hell freezes over and pigs fly Brantley Keith," I snarled. I saw his eyes narrow and I could see his temper flash in his eyes. I shrank back a little.

"Aww shit," Kolby muttered leaning against the TV cabinet. "I should have brought the popcorn."

"Alright," Brantley growled cracking his knuckles looking at me then back at Kolby. "Guess she wants to do this the hard way."

"Guess so bro," Kolby said smiling at me. I was so going to kill him and slowly.

"Either of you jackasses touch me I will yell for PJ," I said my voice wavering a little bit. "Or call Mama."

"Yell all you want honey," Brantley said cockily as he approached the table leaning down those big hands braced, rings shining. "PJ won't step in. This talk is long over due, and it was partly Mama's idea. I asked you nicely, now I am just gonna make you."

"The hell yo......" I screeched being cut off when he swiftly moved around the table gripping my wrist in a big hand tugging me to my feet. I tried to swing with my free hand to nail him in the jaw but was stopped when my whole world spun as he flung me over a broad shoulder making Kolby crack up laughing. "Let me go!" I yelped when a big hand came down hard on my ass. Who the fuck did he think he was!

"Nope," Brantley said with a dark chuckle. "You're going to get your ass on that bike and like it."

He walked down the steps with me kicking and screaming. I looked around to see we were stopped at a rest area out of the way with the just the two buses. I saw Brantley's biked parked close to the band bus and immediately tried to get away. PJ was leaned against the side of the bus waving at me.

"Have fun Allie Cat!" he called as Kolby paused on the bottom step holding his phone up.

"Fuck you PJ!" I yelled flipping him off. "Kolby! If this winds up on Snap Chat you are a dead man!"

Brantley sat me down on my feet. I automatically tried to dart around him to only be stopped with an arm wrapping around my waist like an iron band. I kicked back connecting with his shin earning me a grunt.

"Guess you want to play this the hard way," I heard growled in my ear making me shiver. The next thing I knew I was spun around and pinned to the side of the bike with his hip as he smirked then gripped both my wrists in his hand. Before I could fight back he had a leather belt wrapped around them and tied. I looked down at my hands, then back up at him and back down again.

"BRANTLEY KEITH!" I screeched. "You fucking lunatic! Let me go!"

"Nope," he snapped pointing a long finger in my face his own temper flaring. I leaned my head forward teeth bared to sink my teeth in. He pushed my hands down. "Don't even fucking think about biting me Allison!"

"Let me go BG," I said complained as tears watered my eyes. "Please."

"No can do Allie Cat," he muttered reaching behind me to pick up a helmet securing it on my head as I gasped. He blocked me in then turned his hat backwards before putting his own on his head and slipping his dark glasses over his eyes. "On you go." I locked my legs and glared at him. This was so fucking humiliating. Being manhandled by my caveman asshole ex-husband. "Ok." He shrugged then picked me up placing me on the seat before sliding on behind me. He settled behind me caging me into between his thighs as I blinked in shock. I could only imagine the picture I made. Probably looked like a gasping fish. Kolby was filming and PJ laughing. I jumped as Brantley cranked the bike and closed my eyes to keep down the moan from the vibrations. I felt his chest rumble with a laugh. The asshole knew exactly what it did to me.

"Have fun kids!" PJ called out waving like an idiot. I noticed the band standing behind Kolby on the steps laughing as I held my hands up pleading for help to only get waves back. These assholes! The biggest one being behind me. Brantley gunned it taking off making me scream in surprise and him laugh. I reached down pinching his jean clad thigh in protest earning me a pinch on my ass. Jackass I thought as we got on the road. I had no clue where we were. I had been lost in my thoughts and trying to edit photos to notice. I warred with myself on staying mad at him as I felt the sun and the wind on my face.

If I wanted to be honest with myself, I had missed this. We used to take rides any chance we had gotten. I couldn't help it, I leaned back against his chest settling close to him because it just felt so right. We slowed at a red light and I felt an arm slip around my waist reaching for my hands. He gently undid the knot on the belt freeing my hands. I turned slightly to look up at him up seeing him looking down at me with an unsure look as he put the belt in his jacket pocket never breaking our stare. I couldn't see his eyes behind the shades, but I knew he was hoping I didn't deck him right now.

I gave him a grin seeing the tense set of his shoulders ease then a wide smile spread across his full lips and my heart skipped a beat. Brantley slipped a leather covered arm around my waist tugging me to press my back to his chest then took off with a laugh. I could take time out to enjoy this. It's just the talk he was trying to push that I would have to avoid later. I didn't know if I could do it or what I would say.
