Torch's Torment Royal Bastards MC Los Angeles, CA Chapter

by J. Lynn Lombard

  “Maybe, and I’m not defending Rose so don’t take it like I am. But maybe you should hear them out.” Daisy picks her head up off my chest and stares into my eyes. I look for pity but there isn’t any, only love and trust. “I mean, you have a twin brother. Maybe you should get to know him before they leave. Who knows when you’ll see him again. I’d be ecstatic to know I had a brother or a sister for that matter.”

  “You’re right. But the last time I trusted a blood brother, I was set up. What if I do and it happens again?” I voice my fear.

  “Then I’ll cut his nuts off and feed them to him for hurting you.” Daisy giggles and my jaw drops open. “Oh, don’t be shocked, Torch. I’ve been around you long enough to know what you guys do. You might think I’m innocent but I’m not. I’ve had to dirty my hands living on the streets for so long. It wasn’t until you guys rescued me that I felt like I belonged.”

  Daisy’s attractiveness just rose about one hundred percent. I lean in and brush my lips against hers. Daisy opens her mouth and allows my tongue entrance. Here is a woman who will defend me and have my back no matter what.

  As we kiss, Daisy wraps her arms around my neck and I pick her up. She wraps her legs around my waist pushing her heated pussy against my throbbing cock. I break the kiss and pepper kisses down her throat. A low rumble vibrates my lips when it rips from Daisy’s throat.

  “Wait, Torch.” I stop kissing her and hold still wondering if she’s experiencing PTSD or something.

  Daisy untangles herself from my grip and places her soft hands against my face. “You need closure before we take this any further, Torch. You need to go talk to Rose and your twin. Then when you get what you’re looking for, come find me. With as much as I don’t want to, I need this for you. You need this for you. So, when we do take that next step, we’re both in it together.” Daisy leans up on her tiptoes and presses a soft kiss to my lips. “Come on. Let’s head back to the Clubhouse and you can close this door if it’s what you want.”

  Holy fuck. I never thought I’d hear Daisy say this. I never thought she’d’ be the one to put things into perspective for me. “You’re right. I’m sorry, Daisy.”

  “For what?”

  “For being a hot and cold asshole to you.”

  “I get it. You’ve been put into a situation you’ve never been in.” My hands grip Daisy’s waist and I pull her against me. “But you need to figure out what you want before we go any further. Torch I’ve been battling myself trying to get you to notice me. I’ve tried everything I could think of to get you to want me the way you want Rose. But what I’ve realized, I need to step back and you need closure from her before you move forward with me.”

  A lonely tear trickles down Daisy’s cheek and I wipe it away. “Shit, Daisy. I feel like a complete ass.”

  “Don’t. Don’t feel guilty. No matter how much this hurts, I have to do this for both of us.” She walks toward my bike and grabs her helmet. “You won’t get closure standing there with your mouth wide open.” Daisy grabs my brain bucket off the handlebars and holds it out to me. I’m on her in just a few quick strides and reach for it.

  Something between us has changed and I’m loving it. I’m loving watching Daisy step into a strong woman shedding the torment she’s been through.

  We arrive at the Clubhouse an hour later. Disappointment thrums through my body when the ride comes to an end. I enjoy having Daisy on the back of my bike, her body pressed against mine. It’s like she was made for me and I’ve been too much of an idiot to see it.

  A Prospect spots us and rolls the gates open. I drive through and hit a button on my bike to open the garage doors. I slowly idle my bike into my spot, turn it off and dismount. I grab Daisy’s hand and help her off my bike. I remove her helmet for her, anything to keep touching her delicate skin.

  “Thank you, Torch.”

  “You’re welcome.” I kiss Daisy quickly on the lips and hang our helmets up on the hooks against the wall.

  “You ready to get this over with?” Daisy asks tucking her hands in the back pockets of her jeans.

  “Only if you’re by my side.”

  Daisy’s eyes widen in surprise. “What?”

  I grab her hands and hold them between us. “Something out there shifted between us and I don’t want to do this without you by my side, Daisy. Whatever Rose and Jax have to say I want you there with me.”

  “Are you sure?” Daisy looks at me confused as fuck. I’m just as confused by the words coming out of my mouth, but I know this is what I want. What I need.

  “I’m positive You have stood by me and supported me no matter what and I’m an ass for not seeing it sooner. I need you with me and having my back.”

  “Oh wow. OK. Well, if you’re sure, let’s do this.”

  We walk down the corridor into the commons room. All my brothers are here playing pool, Xbox, darts or sitting at the bar. The two people I’m looking for are sitting together at a table in the corner of the room. Their heads are close together and their body language screams lost lovers reunited. I inhale a deep breath and together Daisy and I walk up to Jax and Rose. They turn their heads in our direction when I pull out Daisy’s chair and my own.

  “Let’s get this shit over with.”

  Chapter 11

  Daisy

  Sorry not Sorry

  Torch and I walk hand in hand toward Rose and his twin brother, Jax. Staring at him is like looking at Torch. I never in a million years thought this is what was happening.

  I squeeze Torch’s hand to remind him, I have his back, no matter what happens. He returns the gesture before he pulls out my chair and takes the seat next to me. When he sits, he pulls my chair near his.

  “We need to talk.”

  “Yeah, we do.” A sad smile lifts Rose’s lips.

  We’re away from listening ears but close enough if things go sideways, Torch’s brothers can be here in a split second.

  Rose shifts in her seat so her body is facing Jax but her hands are resting on the table. She’s watching Torch and me with weary eyes. Jax rests a hand on Rose’s leg and Torch tenses. Not the reaction I would’ve had.

  “Start at the beginning.” Torch sits back in his chair and rests his arm across the back of mine. He runs his fingertips across the back of my neck. If he thinks doing these small things to me to make Rose jealous is OK, he’s going to have a rude awakening. Not by Rose but by me.

  Rose watches Torch’s hand skim my back. Her eyes flare with a hint of jealousy. I turn my head to give Torch a piece of my mind about using me to make her jealous but the words die on my lips. He isn’t staring at her. He’s watching me. I raise an eyebrow questioningly and Torch winks. Fucking winks at me. He pulls my chair closer until I’m tucked into his side. Relaxing against him, I look at Rose, waiting to hear her story.

  Rose glances at Jax before he dips his head in affirmation. She releases a deep breath and begins. “There are only two people inside these walls that know my truth. After today, everyone will. My father is Frank Valdez, the leader of the Valdez mafia in San Antonio, Texas. He contacted Capone a couple of years ago about possibly needing a place for me to hide if things went the way he thought they were. We had a rat in our ranks and the ATF breathing down our necks along with the Guerra Cartel trying to kill me to stop me from taking over. Well, things went sideways and here I am. Now you know.” Rose shrugs her shoulders and Jax raises an eyebrow. Rose’s nostrils flare clearly stating she’s not telling the whole truth.

  “How did Royal Bastards get involved with your family?”

  “Capone’s father, Mad Max has extended family in Texas who happens to work for my father. Not only is your club a part of the Royal Bastards, but you guys have Mafia connections in Texas too.”

  “So, you’re a mafia princess? What happened? Why did you leave?” The words leave my lips before I could stop them. I slap a hand over my mouth.

  Rose chuckles, “That’s why I always liked you Daisy. You speak what’s on your mind w
ithout filtering it. It was refreshing coming here and knowing not all women are vindictive.” Her eyes cut to Jax and he shifts uncomfortably in his seat.

  Well, shit. Now I feel like an ass. Here I thought Rose was competition for Torch and she actually liked me.

  “Yes, I’m a mafia princess, not just that but I’m known as The Godmother. I left because not only my life was in jeopardy, but so was someone else I really love. You know how people will sacrifice everything for those they love? Well, I did that.” Jax squeezes Rose’s thigh giving her comfort. “I had two choices. Leave and that person I love with my whole heart would remain safe from Guerra Cartel or stay and they find her and she dies. I took option one. I will do anything to keep her safe.” Rose slaps the table, sadness and anger washes over her features.

  “Is this person not safe anymore?” Torch asks.

  Jax speaks up, “She is very safe and wants Rose back home. Which is why I’m here. To bring Rose home and take her rightful place in the family business.”

  Torch stares at Jax and asks the question we’ve all been wanting to. “How in the fuck do you exist and I had no idea?”

  “Our father took me at birth against our mother’s wishes. He sent me to Texas to live with a rival club, hoping to groom me into taking over and destroying the Royal Bastards. When I was old enough, I left and never looked back. Rose’s dad found me living on the streets of San Antonio and took me in. Brought me into his family and that’s where I met Rose.”

  “What rival club?” Torch is tense sitting next to me so I rest my hand on his thigh hoping to calm him down.

  Jax looks directly into Torch’s eyes, “Bloody Scorpions.”

  “Holy shit. You had to live with those assholes and turned out decent?” There goes my filter again and Rose chuckles.

  Jax smirks. “I wouldn’t say I’m a nice person but I do care, unlike them.”

  “Does Razor know you exist?” Torch asks.

  “I don’t think he does but wouldn’t be surprised. Our father had a lot of secrets and it’s a good thing he’s dead or I’d kill him myself.”

  Torch’s jaw ticks and he has a faraway look in his eyes.

  “Torch.” Jax says getting his attention. Torch snaps out of whatever memory he was lost in and looks at his twin brother. “I don’t blame you. I know Razor framed you.”

  Torch’s ice blue eyes grow wide before dipping his head the same way Jax did to Rose. “So, are you two staying around or leaving?” Torch asks.

  “We’re leaving in the morning.” Jax answers.

  “Rose, one question and I want the honest to God’s truth.” Torch leans his arms on the table and steeples his fingers in front of him.

  “Ok. What?”

  “Did what we have mean anything to you or was it a joke?”

  I know why he’s asking but it still hurts to hear the question. What she says next will either make or break Torch and I hope it’s the former.

  Rose gives Torch a sad smile and leans her elbows on the table. Her curly red hair brushing the tabletop. “You reminded me so much of the person I missed the most. I wasn’t thinking. You will always have a special place in my heart but Jax has always had my whole heart. Besides, you can’t give me something that someone else already has. You’re just too slow to realize it.” Rose points to me. “But then again maybe you finally pulled your head out of your ass and realized Daisy is the one you always wanted. We were never meant to last, only last a little while.” Rose sits back in her chair with a weight lifted off her shoulders. “I have a lot of packing to do. If you’re satisfied with our talk, Jax and I have to go. For what it’s worth, Torch, I am sorry if I ever led you on. I never in a million years thought my father would send me away to the man I love, twin brother’s club. But then again he probably knew and that’s why he sent me here.”

  Torch stands and pulls me with him. “We’ll see you around.”

  We walk together, his arm over my shoulder and head to my room. Once we’re inside and Torch closes the door, he releases a deep breath. I wrap my arms around his waist and lay my head on his chest. His heart is beating hard against my ear.

  Torch wraps his arms around me cocooning me in his warmth. “Daisy, I’m so sorry for everything.”

  I look into his mesmerizing eyes. “After that talk, I get it. She used you because she was lonely and you reminded her of someone back home. A lot.” I snort. “Is it weird? Knowing you have a twin?”

  Torch snorts this time. “It’s fucking mind blowing.”

  “What are you going to do?”

  “I honestly don’t know. I don’t know if I can trust him or not. But I do know one thing I want to do.” Torch stares at me with lust radiating in his eyes.

  I lick my lips. “What’s that?” I want to hear him say it. I want him to want me and no one else.

  “I want to taste you. I want to give you everything I have to give.” Torch’s lips land on mine before I can reply and I’m lost to his touch. His tongue enters my mouth and a groan bubble its way up my throat from his flavor. Torch squeezes my ass, pushing me against his hard body.

  I thread my fingers over his bald head and Torch growls. He lifts me up and I straddle his waist. He peppers kisses along my jaw and neck.

  “Too many clothes, sweet girl.”

  I yank my shirt over my head and Torch’s lips descend on my chest. He removes my bra with one hand exposing my tits to him along with my scars from being shot. He licks and sucks one nipple into his mouth and heat shoots straight to my core.

  “Oh, God.” I groan.

  “No God here, Sweet Girl. Only me.” Torch carries me over to my bed and lays me down into it. “Tell me to stop if you get scared.”

  Torch removes his cut and lays it on the dresser. He then tugs his shirt over his head and tosses it onto the floor. His bare chest exposed for my greedy eyes. “Like what you see?” I nod my head speechless.

  This man covered in tattoos and muscle is perfect. He leans over me, the heat from his body scorching my skin. “I need you to understand one thing, Daisy. If we take this to the next level there will be no one besides you and me. I don’t share and neither will you.” He kisses his way down my stomach and removes my jeans in a quick motion. Torch’s lips are at the apex of my thighs making my panties wet with need. “This pussy will belong to me and only me. Are we clear on that?”

  “God, yes Torch.” I sit up and help him remove his jeans. His cock springs free, throbbing for attention. I grip it in my hands. I can’t reach all the way around its fat base. “This cock will belong to only me.”

  Torch groans when I pump my hand. “Fuck yeah. God your hand feels perfect.”

  With wanton need, I lower my head and bring his throbbing cock into my mouth. My pussy squeezes when I bob up and down bringing him to the back of my throat. “Fuck. Your mouth is made for me.” Torch grips my head as he moves his hips forward. “Look at that pure perfection.”

  I look up at Torch through my lashes with my mouth full of his cock. Picking up the pace, Torch groans when I skim my teeth over his cock. Doing this is powerful. To know I’ve made this strong, sexy, powerful man go to his knees has lust driving through my body.

  Torch pulls me off his pulsing cock and lays me down onto the bed. Pulling my panties down my legs, Torch crawls up my body like a lion stalking his prey. I spread my legs wide making room for his body. His cock resting on my clit.

  “If it gets too much or triggers, tell me and we’ll stop. I don’t want to do anything to harm you.”

  My heart races at the sincerity in Torch’s voice. “This is perfect, Torch.” I wrap my arms around his neck, pulling his body flush against mine.

  Torch trails a hand down my body and flicks my clit. Heat spreads through me and my pussy is drenched. He kisses me hard. We’re a mess of tongue and teeth when Torch lines his cock up to my greedy core.

  “Are you ready, Sweet girl?”

  “I’m more than ready, Torch.” I am ready. There is no fear,
no intimidation. Just two people merging as one.

  Torch nudges the tip of his cock at my entrance and slowly pushes in before pulling back out. He does this a few times and the veins on his neck and forehead are popping out. He’s holding back in fear of triggering me and I’m not going to allow it. I hook my ankles around Torch’s ass when he thrusts into my core and I push him all the way in, moaning in response. Torch’s eyes grow wide.

  “Don’t treat me like I’m broken, Torch. Fuck me like you mean it.” I shift my hips ready for more.

  “Jase.” Torch kisses me lightly on the lips.

  “What?” I moan as he rocks his hips. I’m not thinking straight with his cock sending all sorts of signals to my body.

  “Call me Jase when I’m balls deep inside of you and about to blow your mind.”

  “Fuck me like you mean it, Jase.” I groan.

  Torch picks up the pace and thrusts into me, his pelvis grinding against my clit. He sits up and puts my ankles around his neck. This angle puts him in deeper and my tits bounce with every thrust.

  “So beautiful watching my dick get soaked by your squeezing pussy.” My eyes pop open and I watch Torch watch our bodies join together. It’s the most erotic thing I’ve ever experienced.

  Holy shit, he’s a dirty talking biker. “Keep going. I’m so close.” I moan.

  Torch slams into my pussy over and over until I explode.

  “Fuck, Jase. I’m coming.” And I come so hard I can’t see straight.

  “Fuck, Daisy. Your pussy’s squeezing my cock is sending me over the edge.” Torch roars out. His cock swells before he empties inside of me.

  We’re both a sweaty mess when Torch kisses me before pulling out and lays on his back next to me. He pulls me against him and the beating of his heart and the warmth of his arms lulls me to sleep.
