In the Time of the Caveman

by Samantha Leal

  “But…”

  “You’ll be on the run,” he said. “I’ll get you out of here, but there’s no going back.”

  She looked into his eyes and could see the sincerity. He meant every word. Whoever he was, he meant business.

  “The man in the alley…” she changed the subject. “Who was he? What happened to him?”

  Jonny broke her gaze and looked down at the floor before straightening out and standing tall.

  “I’m going to need you to make a commotion,” he said changing the subject. “I need you to act like you’ve gone wild so I can take you out of the clubhouse and into one of the garages.”

  “But… what?” she was so confused.

  “We don’t have much time,” he spat ferociously. “We have to get out of here in the next hour before the rest of the club arrive… or we’re both screwed.”

  Eve nodded and even though her mind was a mess she knew she didn’t have any other option but to trust him. Mack was clearly going to hurt her if she didn’t get out of there, and Jonny was her only salvation.

  “What do you need me to do?” she said as she sat up straight and tried to gather her thoughts.

  “Okay,” Jonny smiled. “I’m going to untie you and I need you to kick and scream like a banshee. I’ll restrain you, but I need you to keep fighting me, okay?”

  She nodded. Her heart raced.

  “They’ll come in and see that you’ve broken free. I’ll tell them it was when I was retying you with wire. I’ll say I need you in the garage so I can strap you to one of the machines in there.”

  Eve felt the tears welling up behind her eyes again.

  “Listen,” he said. “This isn’t the time to get precious, you need to act and you need to act now.”

  She nodded and pulled herself together.

  “You ready?” he asked as he leaned forward and started to untie her wrists.

  “As ready as I’ll ever be.” she sighed.

  6.

  Jonny untied her hands and she jumped to her feet. They stood opposite each other and looked deep into each other’s eyes. She still had no idea who this man was, but he was committed to getting her out of there and she had no other option but to trust him. He nodded at her slowly and she knew that she had to go for it. She had to scream and fight with him with all she had.

  As she slammed into him and he wrapped his arms around her, she screamed at the top of her lungs and pummeled her fists against his rock hard chest. Jonny held onto her by the tops of her arms and he pushed her back against the wall with such ease it was as if she was as light as a feather. Even though they were just pretending she could tell that if he really wanted to fight her, he could crush her. He was so strong, so powerful and so ripped, she had never known anything like it.

  “Scream louder,” he whispered as he pushed himself up against her and they smacked into the wall.

  Eve kicked out against him and shouted as loud as she could, whilst wrestling against him and trying to make it look as genuine as possible.

  Within moments she could hear the thundering of footsteps coming down the hallway and she ramped up her protest even more. She kicked and screamed and pushed Jonny away from her, trying to wriggle free, but he easily kept hold of her and kept her in place.

  The door burst open and Mack came in with fury all over his face.

  “What the fuck?” he spat as he took one look at Jonny and her wrestling against the wall. Eve gave up the fight as if she knew she was defeated.

  “She’s feisty,” Jonny laughed. “I don’t think wire’s going to cut it,” he pulled Eve up to her feet and took hold of her by the neck. “I’ll take her out to one of the garages, strap her up to one of the machines… know what I’m saying?”

  A knowing smile flickered over Mack’s face and it was so sinister Eve barely dared to imagine what kind of machines they were referring to.

  “Take her down,” Mack snarled. “I’ll be there in ten.”

  Jonny adjusted his hold on Eve’s neck and marched her out of the darkened room and into the hallway. She could immediately see that she was in the bowels of the club house. The smell down here was of old cigarettes and stale booze and she could hear the pounding of music drifting down through the floorboards from above. She shuddered as Jonny frog marched her, gripping onto her neck and hair and shoving her towards a fire exit that would take them out into the fresh air.

  As soon as the air hit her she breathed in deeply. She could hear Mack behind them lighting up a cigarette and hacking as he inhaled. She shuddered as Jonny pulled her across the crowded parking lot and towards an old looking wooden garage. There were cars and bikes everywhere, but not another person in sight. It was as if they were out in the middle of nowhere even though they were still in the center of the city.

  Jonny opened the garage and pushed her inside. Eve staggered forwards and turned to look back at him. He peered through a crack in the wooden door as he waited for a moment and held a hand up to tell Eve to be quiet. She did as he asked as her heart pounded so loud she felt as if the whole world could hear it.

  “When he goes back inside, we’re out of here,” he whispered. “Get on the back of the bike.”

  Eve looked around and behind her she saw it… a huge glistening Harley. She had never ridden a bike before and she hadn’t realized how big they were up close, she had only ever seen them on TV or in magazines but now she was in front of one, she realized how stunning they were and she gasped as she ran her fingertips along the ice cold metal.

  “Get on,” Jonny demanded before he slowly opened the door a crack and ran over to meet her. He pulled her onto the bike and she wrapped her arms around him. As he pushed them forward without starting the engine the tension was almost too much to bear. What if they made a go for it and Mack was waiting on the other side of the door… or worse, the rest of the club?

  Even though she was terrified, she could tell that Jonny knew what he was doing. He was in control and he was set on getting them out of there. As he waited for the perfect moment he reached down and squeezed Eve’s arm lightly before he whispered, “Here we go,” and then he roared the engine to life, kicked back off the ground and they flew out of the wooden double doors and out into the night.

  As they bounced out of the parking lot of the club and weaved through the city streets Eve felt like squealing with relief. She had got away. They were out of there and the sun hadn’t even started to rise.

  She gripped onto Jonny’s waist and buried her face into the back of his neck with relief. She had never been so frightened in her entire life and he had saved her. He had taken her away from those terrifying men and now she was sure that everything would be okay.

  7.

  They rode until the sun began to rise and Eve’s eyes were heavy with tiredness. They had left the city behind and were out on the highway, working their way North and out towards the mountain towns.

  When Jonny finally pulled off the highway and out towards a motel Eve breathed a sigh of relief. She was ready to regroup and rest, she needed to know what the hell was going on.

  Jonny helped her down off the back of the bike and after he paid for a room in cash he wheeled the bike inside with them.

  “We’re going to have to leave this here,” he said. “It’s too dangerous for us to keep going on it.”

  “But how will we get around?” she asked.

  “I’ll have to get us a car,” Jonny smiled. “Don’t worry, I’ve got it covered.” He winked and lay back on the bed and sighed. “Man am I tired,” he yawned.

  Eve sat down on the end of the bed and rubbed her eyes. She was exhausted but she still didn’t know what she had truly gotten involved in. She had to ask him, she needed answers.

  “Please can you be straight with me?” she asked.

  Jonny looked up at her and leaned on his elbows. She couldn’t help but let her eyes wander over his bulging biceps and his big, rough hands, but she was determined to not let how incredibly hot he w
as distract her from getting the truth.

  “I’m not a biker,” he said finally. “And what you saw earlier was the start of something I wish even I knew nothing about.” he sighed.

  “What do you mean?” Eve leaned in closer.

  “I’m ex-military,” he said. “I’m working undercover for special ops. There’s several bike clubs across the country that we know are involved in some serious deals at the moment, but a rivalry has broken out between them. The minute I saw what was happening there I was planning on getting out. I’ve done my bit, I’ve reported back what I’ve seen and I was getting set to leave tonight, but then Mack turned up with you and it all went to shit.”

  Eve couldn’t believe what she was hearing. She was on the run, in a hotel room, with an undercover soldier?

  “One of the guys saw you and one of the prospects followed you home, told Mack where you were.”

  “Why would it matter? Surely they wouldn’t be worried about me? What threat am I?” Eve scoffed.

  “They’re not worried about you telling the cops,” he laughed and shook his head. “They’re worried that what you say would impact their position with other gangs.”

  “In what way?” Now Eve was totally confused.

  Jonny lay back on the bed and stretched.

  “Mack’s club have been pulling the wool over another gang’s eyes for months now. The guy they killed, he’s from an ally, but they made it look as if it was another rival club who’d done it. If it came out it was really Mack… well his whole charter would be fucked.”

  “So why are you involved?” Eve moved closer, hanging on his every word.

  “I was there undercover checking out who they were making deals with and how it affected national security. But when all this inner rivalry started happening, well, I knew it was all about to blow up and I had to get moving.”

  “And then I showed up,” she laughed.

  “Yep,” Jonny grinned. “And I’d never leave an innocent woman with those monsters.”

  Eve felt herself blush. She really hadn’t ever seen anyone more attractive than Jonny before… he was incredible.

  “Well, thank you,” she smiled. “You have no idea how grateful I am. Some start to the New Year huh?” she laughed.

  “What were you even doing down there?” he leaned forward and stared at her.

  “I was on my way to a party and took a short cut,” she shook her head. “Now I really wish I just waited in traffic.”

  Jonny smiled before he whispered, “Well maybe it was fate.”

  Eve’s heart began to pound. When she looked up and locked eyes with his she felt something grow between them. She was sure he felt it too. They had a connection, it was real and powerful. Maybe they had been destined to meet.

  “I’m exhausted,” she said to break the tension. “I better get some sleep.”

  Jonny smiled and got to his feet before he presented the bed to her with his hand.

  “You take it,” he said. “I need to make some calls and then I can kip on the couch.”

  Eve thanked him and pulled back the covers. As she sank down onto the mattress and pulled the warm blankets around her, still cozy from his body heat, she smiled and felt all of her muscles relax.

  Jonny stood by the window and watched her with a protective eye, but within a few moments, she was fast asleep.

  8.

  “Hey,” Jonny said soothingly as he brushed the hair out of Eve’s eyes. She had still been asleep, but this was one of the nicest ways she had been woken in a long time. She opened her eyes slowly and saw him smiling warmly down at her. She stretched her arms above her head and leaned up on her elbows before Jonny handed her a fresh cup of takeout coffee.

  “I got you this,” he smiled.

  She took the cup from him and smiled, “Thank you.”

  The room was alive with light and the winter sun was burning through the curtains.

  “What time is it?” she asked.

  “Around two,” he yawned. “I haven’t slept, but I thought I better wake you.”

  “Did you make your calls?” she took a sip.

  “Yes I’ve spoken to a few people,” he nodded. “According to another undercover agent, Mack is on the war path. Not that it matters,” he laughed. “He won’t find us.”

  “So what now?” Eve asked with wide eyes.

  Jonny shrugged. “I’ve got to keep you safe.”

  She felt a pulse ripple right through her as he said it. The thought of Jonny being her protector was almost too much of a turn on to bear.

  “So… we just stay here?” she looked around the room, at the crumple of the bedsheets and the Harley taking over one complete corner.

  “For now,” he smiled.

  Eve’s heart was racing. The tension between them was mounting and she knew that she wouldn’t be able to keep her hands off him for much longer. Every time their eyes met something deeper seemed to be forged and the way his smile crinkled the corner of his dark, engulfing eyes was beginning to drive her wild.

  It had been such a long time since Eve had been attracted to a man. She hadn’t had a boyfriend in over a year and she had almost forgotten what it felt like to be touched, to be loved and to be cared for. She had known Jonny for less than twenty-four hours, but already she felt something so strongly for him she was finding it hard to imagine what it would be like to turn around and walk away. They had already been through so much together and he had saved her life. Now, as they locked themselves away in their motel room refuge, she wanted nothing more than to thank him for being her savior by giving him her body.

  She rested the coffee down on the side table and lay back on the bed. She lifted her arms above her head so that the swell of her breasts was even more pronounced and her ample cleavage was exposed to him. She saw the way Jonny’s eyes instantly responded. His breath caught in his throat as his gaze wandered down from her lips, down her neck and all the way to her chest. She noticed him tense and he licked his bottom lip.

  “Jonny,” she whispered.

  His eyes met hers again and she could see that he had animalistic lust running through his veins. Just one look and she knew that he wanted her just as much as she wanted him. He stared at her hungrily and the passion hung in the air around them, ready to snap them both at any moment… the only question was who was going to make the first move.

  Eve opened her legs and hitched up the hem of her dress. Even though she hadn’t made it to the party, and with all that had happened in-between, she was still going to make sure that she finally got to sparkle. Jonny watched her intently, not moving and barely breathing, as she lifted her buttocks off the mattress for a moment and opened her legs wider. His mouth gaped open and he ran the tip of his tongue across the edge of his teeth.

  “Eve,” he whispered with a grin.

  She smiled back and waited for him to come for her. She could see the tension building in him and she could sense the stirring deep inside his trousers. She noticed a twitch of his member and she gasped.

  He moved closer to her and wrapped his arm around her. Eve felt tiny in his huge arms, they were so muscular and thick, it felt as if they were the strongest in the world. Jonny pulled her up to meet him and their faces were millimeters from each other’s. She could feel his hot breath on her face and as she moved closer and their lips finally met she was consumed with desire for him. As their lips parted and Jonny’s tongue flicked against hers she fell into a wave of ecstasy before he even lay a hand on her.

  He gently pushed her back onto the bed and climbed on top of her. Eve opened her legs wide and wrapped them around him, welcoming him into her, pushing her hips up to meet his. Through his jeans she could feel the hot, hard bulge and she gasped as he pushed it down onto her, sensing how big he was and desperate to have him inside of her.

  Her pussy ached and her juices flowed. She was so turned on and so ready for him. As he ran his fingertips up the side of her ribcage and squeezed her huge breasts with his big hands
she moaned and buried her face into his neck.

  “I want you,” she whispered.

  Jonny pulled at her dress and lifted it off high above her head, exposing her naked, plump flesh beneath. He reached down and slipped his hand into her panties where he found her dripping wet sex and he massaged her clit slowly before plunging a finger inside of her. As he filled her Eve ground herself onto him, panting and savoring every second of his touch. She couldn’t believe he was so experienced at giving pleasure, with every flick of his hand he was giving her sensations that she had never felt before.

  “Yes!” she panted as she threw back her head and came in a crashing wave. Her muscles gripped his fingers and she shuddered as her juices flowed out of her. Jonny’s breathing was becoming more rapid and she knew he wouldn’t be able to control himself any longer. In one swift movement he ripped off his jeans and underwear, exposing the biggest and most perfect rock hard cock that Eve had ever seen.

  She opened her legs wider as he grabbed hold of her hips and flipped her over, pulling her up onto her knees so she was presenting herself to him. As he rubbed the tip of his dick up and down her soaking wet sex he grunted with lust and Eve moaned with pleasure. She was so sensitive, her whole body tingled and when he finally stopped teasing them both and plunged his huge length right up inside of her Eve gasped and gripped onto the headboard.

  As he fucked her slowly and deliciously Eve knew that it wouldn’t be long before she came again. She pushed herself against him, and as Jonny gripped her plump hips and thrust himself in and out of her he groaned and grunted with his powerful need.

  When she felt his thighs tense and his stokes become more fevered and rapid she couldn’t hold on any longer. She came again, her orgasm ripped through her and she screamed as Jonny groaned and pumped his hot, thick seed right up inside of her. She swallowed him whole, taking all of him inside of her and gripping him tight. As he collapsed down on top of her, sweat dripped between them and she nuzzled into his ripped chest as they both caught their breath.
