“I want you,” she whispered.
I teased her pussy, rubbing my fingers up and down her folds, feeling the swollen softness of her sensitive clit. She moaned and moved, writhing her hips with desire.
“P…please…” she begged. Her eyes were bigger now, with a glaze over them. It was like she was in a daze. I was in a daze too. I could feel her sticky juices trickling from her folds. She was deliciously ripe for the taking, and I couldn’t wait to taste her.
I pushed up her slip even further till her breasts were free. Rolling the dainty thing over her head, I threw the slip down on the floor and now finally, we were both naked.
I reached for her breasts with her erect pink nipples. I bent down and took one in my mouth, then the other. I sucked on them slowly, gently. She weaved her fingers into my hair and raised herself up, thrusting her breasts, squashing them against my face. Her nipples were wet with my saliva, and while I sucked on one, I toyed with the other with my fingers.
“Oh my God!” Kaya moaned. Her eyes were pressed close, her mouth was hanging open. From the way she was moving her hips, I could sense she was about to come. I sucked on her nipples harder and stroked her clit again.
She kept repeating the same words…screamig my name. Her body shook and I stroked her harder. When Kaya came, her juices trickled down the insides of her soft thighs. I continued sucking on her breasts till I felt her beginning to relax.
She was breathing hard when I straightened up again. My cock was raging hard, turning an angry red now. I grabbed it with one hand and stroked, while pointing it in the direction of her pussy.
“Oz…” she whispered my name. Then she reached for my cock, holding me gently with her small tender hand. She was guiding me in, between her stretched apart legs, towards that tight delicious pussy of hers.
I thrust myself inside her and she moaned again. It was a deep husky moan. I slid in, stretching her. Her mouth fell open when I was inside her. I knew it would take her a few moments to adjust even though I’d been inside her before. I was big, maybe too big for her.
But this time, Kaya started rolling her hips. She was ready for me. I leaned forward and she wrapped her arms around my neck, digging her nails into my back as I started pounding.
The couch shook with every rough thrust I made. Kaya threw her head back. Her neck looked long and slender and I kissed it on the side. She giggled and then moaned while I slipped in and out of her. It was the most explosive feeling of my life—to be inside Kaya. She was beautiful and sexy and I knew I had feelings for her. I couldn’t hide from it now. No other woman made me feel this way.
We moved together now. With her legs tied tightly around me, and my hands all over her breasts and her belly. I thrust in and out and could feel my cock going all the way inside her. Kaya moaned and chewed on her lip, till I squeezed her breasts and growled.
I was going to come. We looked into each other’s eyes. She held my gaze strongly. Did she have the same feelings and thoughts as me? That this was fucking insane?
I came inside her with a mad rush. I could feel my seed shooting in, emptying into her. She moaned and I growled while filling her up and Kaya kept her legs wound around me.
Several seconds later, when my orgasm started to subside, I began pulling myself out of her. We were both breathing heavily. I could still feel tremors rushing up and down my spine now. It was an explosive feeling, and I knew Kaya could sense it too.
“I’ll get you that glass of water now,” I told her and she smiled and nodded. Collecting the empty glass which had dropped from her hand earlier on the rug, I went over to the kitchen sink and poured water in the glass.
Kaya was sitting up when I returned and she took it from me. I watched her sipping from it. Her curls were ruffled and strewn all around her face and shoulders. I couldn’t get enough of her. I could have stood there and watched her all night if she let me.
“I didn’t have this in mind when I came here tonight,” I said and she nodded.
“I know.”
“I wanted to be here for you, to keep you safe,” I added.
“I know,” she said again.
Kaya put down her glass and patted the seat beside her on the couch. I sat down. We were both naked. I could feel the heat coming off her. I wanted to kiss her shoulder and tell her she was special.
“I know I behaved earlier like I hated you,” she said.
“And you had every right to.”
Kaya licked her lips.
“But that is not how I really feel. I don’t hate you, Oz, I’m still attracted to you. That hasn’t changed,” she said.
I squeezed her knee and she smiled softly.
“You should get some sleep,” I told her and she nodded.
I lay back on the couch and threw my arms open for her. Without another word, Kaya lay down on me, placing her head on my chest and clutching me tightly.
This couch was definitely big enough for both of us now.
Chapter 24
Kaya
I walked into the diner and headed back to the bathroom to change into my uniform. Melody and Grace were already at the front replacing napkins in the napkin holders.
As I left the bathroom I headed over to my section to start setting up for the day. I stopped short when I saw those four men from Dark Legion at the booth.
They smiled at me.
Something was wrong. Something was very wrong. I looked over my shoulder for Melody and Grace and saw them whispering to each other near the cash register.
I walked quickly towards them.
“We need to get out of here. C’mon, let’s go,” I hissed at them. They turned to look at me with narrowed eyes.
“We know what you’re doing, Kaya. You’re sleeping with that biker. With that monster! We have no choice. We have to go with these men now,” Melody said.
The four men stood up at the booth.
“What is going on?” I hissed at Melody. “What are you talking about?”
“You did this to us. You did this to me!” Melody said and there were tears rolling down her cheeks.
“Melody, we have to go. Let’s go, please! Oz will protect us. We just need to find him,” I cried.
The four men from the Dark Legion were walking towards us now. I tugged at both of their wrists trying to get them to go out the front door. But they wouldn’t budge. It was as if they were frozen in place.
“He is the one who did this. How will he protect us from anything?” Melody hissed.
The men were right in front of us now. I could feel the walls closing in around me. There was no escape. I couldn’t run away from them.
“Mel, please…” I cried. I begged, but she was walking towards them.
One of the men grabbed me and I felt the gun on my stomach again.
“Tell your boyfriend he’s never going to be able to keep you safe,” he whispered in my ear.
“He’s not my boyfriend! I don’t even know him!” I cried, struggling to get out of his arms. But he was way stronger than I was. I could feel his hands pinching my skin. The gun felt heavy on my belly.
“I’m going to shoot you. You’re going to die little girl. What will your family think of you then?” he hissed in my ear.
“No!” I shrieked.
“Kaya…wake up…” It was Oz’s voice.
My eyes flew open and I realized it was all a dream. But it seemed so very real to me. I could have sworn I heard their voices. That I felt their hands on me. The gun on my belly. I thought I could touch Melody.
Instead, I’d been in Oz’s arms all along. He was holding me tightly to his chest, trying to soothe me.
I could feel hot tears rolling down my cheeks. Oz rocked me in his arms.
“You’re fine. It was just a nightmare, beautiful,” he murmured. His mouth was in my hair. I was clutching him like I was clinging on to life.
“What did you see?” he asked, and I moved. I needed to get out of his arms. Oz tried to hold on to me for the first f
ew moments and then he let go. I slipped off the couch and stood up. I felt like I was shivering, like my whole body was shaking. It was so real! It still seemed absolutely real to me.
“Kaya, what did you see?” he asked me again. I put on my panties and got busy with putting on my slip. I had no idea how long we’d been sleeping like that, entwined together on the couch. I’d felt so safe and protected earlier…but now I remembered what happened today.
“Kaya, talk to me!”
Oz was sitting up. He was putting on his jeans too. I tried not to look at him, because if I did, I was afraid of falling into the trap of wanting him again. He was too sexy. Those tattoos, those chiseled abs and the perfect muscular strength of him. His blue eyes were focused on my face, and I knew I had to tell him the truth.
“I saw those guys, from the Dark Legion. They were going to hurt my friends at the diner, and they were going to shoot me. I was about to die,” I said, still shaking.
Oz stood up from the couch.
“I know this is really scary for you, Kaya, but nothing is going to happen to you tonight. I promised you that,” he said. He was going to step towards me, but I moved away from him.
“Yes, but I’m afraid!”
“I know, which is why I’m here. To make you feel safe.”
I shook my head.
“This can’t go on,” I said. He narrowed his eyes at me.
“What are you talking about?”
“This…what happened tonight between us. That was the last time. It can’t happen again,” I said and turned my face away from him.
Oz was quiet for a few minutes, but I couldn’t face him. I knew if he looked into my eyes he would see the truth. That nothing had hurt so much as pushing him away. But how was I supposed to live like this?
In constant fear of my life. In constant fear for the safety of my family. If my decisions started affecting them, I would never be able to forgive myself.
“Kaya…” he finally began to say, and I shook my head.
“Please, Oz. I had fun. I don’t regret being with you, but…”
“You want it to stop now,” he finished the sentence for me and I remained silent.
“I understand, and you don’t have to worry. I will not push you to do something you don’t want to do.”
I should have been relieved, glad that he wasn’t making this difficult for me. But all I felt right now was an emptiness. Finally, I was going to have to admit to myself that I’d made the wrong decision. I should have listened to Melody and stayed away from Oz. I was foolish. I thought I could just let my desire for Oz take control of my life. I thought he could keep me safe.
Oz was watching me, searching my eyes.
“You don’t need to worry about me. I’m going to leave you alone, Kaya,” he said again. I had to force myself to hold back the tears. They were stinging my eyes and I tried to blink them away.
“Okay.”
“I’m still going to do everything I can to keep you safe. So, just till we deal with the Dark Legion; you might see me around a little,” he continued and I nodded.
“I’ll try and get some of the other guys from my club to watch you most of the times. You can trust them,” he added and I continued to nod. “But if I have no other choice but to protect you myself, that is what I’ll do.”
I was staring down at my feet, doing anything possible to keep my eyes turned away from him.
“But, after this is all over, we don’t have to see each other again. I don’t want to get you involved in anything,” he said.
“Goodnight, Oz,” I blurted. I knew I would break down in tears if I spent even another second here with him. Before Oz could reply, I was running away to my bedroom.
I shut the door behind me and collapsed to the floor in tears. I couldn’t stop them now. The floodgates had opened and I felt sick. What was I doing? Why was I this sad?
I barely knew Oz. We’d only spent a little time together, and already this felt like the hardest thing I had to do. Even when I left my family—I hadn’t felt this miserable.
For some reason, breaking off whatever I had with Oz, felt like a big decision. We weren’t even dating, not really. And already I felt like I couldn’t imagine a life without him.
No other man made me feel the way he did. Despite everything happening, I hadn’t felt safe in anyone’s arms the way I did with him. But I knew I couldn’t do this. I would never be able to adjust myself to this feeling of fright. If this was Oz’ life, I couldn’t be in it.
I crawled into bed some time later and wrapped myself up in the covers. I could still feel him around me. His strength and his warmth. I remembered every move he made, how glorious he made me feel when he was inside me.
Was I going to regret this decision?
Was I going to miss him when I found another man…someone like Gus who made me feel nothing?
How would I ever replace Oz?
Nobody else could even come close.
Chapter 25
Oz
Of course, I couldn’t sleep the rest of the night, even trying to was pointless. Kaya was all I could think about, and how losing her felt miserable. Being with her had made me believe I could actually do this—have a meaningful and committed relationship with a woman. She made me happy. Now I knew what Abe and my sister felt for each other, and it was addictive.
But that was over. It was time to move on.
In the morning, just when day broke, I called Dash and told him what happened at the diner with Kaya. Since he knew what was happening between her and me, I sensed he would understand. I told him I needed him to watch her, while I sorted out the Dark Legion, and let the rest of the club know what was going on. Immediately, he said he was on his way over.
Kaya emerged from her bedroom soon after. She looked like she hadn’t slept much either. Her eyes were puffy and red. She was wearing a thick pink puffy robe over that sexy slip now and I tried not to stare.
“Would you like some coffee?” she offered in a groggy voice and I said no.
“I’ll get something to eat on my way to meet the others,” I told her. Kaya gulped, staring at me.
“You’re leaving?” she asked in a weak voice. I could sense that she didn’t want to admit it, but she was afraid of being alone.
“I have to go and figure this shit out, but one of my friends is going to be with you. His name is Dash, I trust him, and so should you.”
Kaya nodded, just as the bell rang.
It was Dash at the door and he strode in.
“Kaya, this is Dash,” I said, introducing them. She smiled weakly at him and he waved.
Things were awkward between us. All of us. I tried not to allow my gaze to wander to those shapely legs under the robe, or the delicate length of her neck—but she was just so goddamn sexy.
“I should go,” I said, in a desperate attempt to stop wanting her. Kaya licked her lips nervously; she looked like she wanted to say something, but she didn’t.
“I’ll watch her till I get further orders from you,” Dash told me and we quickly shook hands.
Kaya remained standing at the kitchen door, and she looked like she was at a loss for what to do. I walked to the front door and turned to glance at her.
“I hope you have a nice day, Kaya,” I said. For a moment she said and did nothing, but then she nodded quickly.
“You too, Oz,” she said and then I stepped out.
It needed to be ripped off like a band aid. I had to keep myself busy and keep my mind off her. This was never going to work. She was right. She didn’t deserve the shitstorm that was my life.
She was in safe hands with Dash now.

On my way to T-Bone, I spoke to Lewis on the phone and asked him to call Church. By the time I got there, the others had assembled and were waiting for me to give them the lowdown.
Lewis, Girth and Rodeo were there, and Abe was the only one away. He was at a meeting with our Cuban contacts, trying to get them to continue wi
th their shipments so we could keep our business going. After one of their guys got badly injured, it wasn’t a surprise that they now had cold feet in doing business with us.
“What have you got for us, Oz?” Lewis asked when I walked in.
“It was the Dark Legions I saw that night. They were the ones who pulled the shootout at the docks,” I told them. A buzz rang out in the bar. They were all expecting it to be a false alarm.
“Like I said, fucking cockroaches!” Girth growled.
“And is this the intel the prospects gathered?” Rodeo asked and I nodded.
“They’ve been picking up buzzes, but that isn’t the biggest proof we have. Someone got threatened and a message was delivered directly to me,” I said. A silence fell like a shroud on the bar now. All eyes were on me again.
“A message? Who was threatened?” Lewis asked, banging his fist on the bar counter with rage.
“A girl I know. She works at the diner across the street,” I said.
“Those fuckers were here? Like right here?”
“Yesterday,” I said and Lewis was cursing.
“What did they tell her?” Rodeo asked.
“That we need to forfeit the territory we took from them.”
“Or else?” Lewis hissed.
“They’re going to hurt the girl,” I said. I could predict what the next question was going to be.
“Hurt the girl? Who is she?” Lewis growled.
“She’s…I’ve been…”
“Banging her?” Rodeo asked with a smirk. I clenched my jaw but said nothing.
“More than that? Something going on between you two?” he continued and I just glared at him. There was silence in the bar until Lewis spoke up again.
“It doesn’t matter. We’re not going to take a threat to us like this lying down. They’re affecting our business, but we’re not giving the territory back to them It’s fucking ours!”
I felt relieved they were not tossing more questions at me.
“We need to protect her. Kaya. That’s her name,” I spoke up. I needed to make my priorities clear to the club before this meeting came to a close.
