“You are the fucking best at that, Phenex.”
“I know.” He stood as she sat up, shaking her head slightly. “You okay?”
“Yeah. It makes me dizzy, it’s so fucking good.”
Phenex unzipped his jeans and took out his dick. “Make me dizzy, Wonder Tongue. Work your magic on me.”
“My pleasure.” She licked up and down the shaft, pushing his jeans down so she could cup his balls. Phenex grasped her hair and closed his eyes for a second, letting the waves of pleasure engulf him. When she swirled her tongue around the tip and made soft noises, he nearly lost it.
“Yummy,” she said. “Can’t wait to have a mouth full of this.”
“Damn…” It was so tempting to simply shove his cock into her mouth, where he knew she’d let him go to town, pushing his full length deep inside. But he forced himself to hold back and let her do her thing. The end result would be worth it.
She licked his balls, moved her tongue up and down his shaft, and teased the tender spot between his nut sac and inner thighs, knowing it drove him fucking insane. When she gently sucked each ball in turn, he groaned loudly and pushed her head closer. It was impossible not to.
Moving back up to his dick, she finally took part of it inside her mouth, grasping the bottom of his shaft with one hand. She sucked him gently, alternating that with swirling her tongue around the tip, while she moved her hand over the bottom of his cock.
Sweat broke out along his hairline, and Phenex’s heart pounded as his balls contracted. He was close to the point of no control. “Meghan … please.”
“Relax, big boy. I’m just getting warmed up.” She grasped her breasts and rubbed the nipples up and down his shaft, learning forward to lick it at the same time.
“Oh fuck!” He took the tits from her and squeezed them hard, pushing his dick between them to thrust. Each pass sent the tip toward her tongue, which she held out. “Goddamn. Take me back into your mouth. Now. Suck me off.”
She smiled up at him as she took his cock in both hands. “Your wish is my command, Road Captain.” Phenex held her head again as she slid the entire length inside her mouth, sucking hard while it slipped deeper each second.
“Fucking yes! That’s what I want.” He fucked her mouth hard, but she still held all the control as she caressed his balls, and ran her tongue up and down the shaft while he rammed it in and out. She alternated that with sucking hard, gradually increasing the pressure of her hand on his nuts, until he could hold back no longer.
When he let go, his moans came out in a long, slow, continuous sound as he pumped his jizz into her mouth. She continued licking and sucking for a few seconds after he was done, before finally releasing his dick.
“That was yummy.”
“Oh, Meghan. Fuck.” Phenex flopped down onto the bed next to her, on his back, one arm over his forehead. “Damn. You’re so fucking good at that!”
“I enjoyed it, too. Be right back.”
He opened his eyes long enough to determine she’d gone into the bathroom. He should crawl under the covers, or at least move his entire body onto the mattress, but he was too fucking tired.
A soft whirring sound drew his attention. He sat up to find Meghan next to him, lying on her back, with a fucking powerful vibrator in her hand. “Care to watch?”
“I guess it’s safe to say you’re not tired yet.”
She laughed, moving the tip of the toy across her left nipple. “Not anymore. How about you?”
“Fuck. Like I could sleep now. Let me do that.”
As he reached for the vibrator, she pulled it away. “No way. You get to watch only.”
“The fuck with that!”
She moved it down her to pussy and gave him a seriously sexy grin. “You know you love to watch me play with this.”
It was true. He was already growing hard again. “Fine.” He reached for the box of condoms on the nightstand and took one out. “But now I’m going to fuck your juicy pussy raw, and then I’m going to fuck you in the ass until neither one of us can fucking walk, for telling me what to do.”
Her moans grew louder. As he lowered his gaze toward her hole, juices glistened on her skin. His dick was hard again, and fucking huge. “Damn!” Phenex put on the condom and opened the drawer, taking out the lube he knew he’d find there. Meghan kept her room well-stocked.
“Stop that right now. I’m going to fuck you.”
“Oh, God!” She cried out and pushed harder against her delicate skin with the tip of the vibrator. Phenex grasped her tits and squeezed them, rolling her nipples with his thumbs and forefingers.
“Oh, fuck! That feels so damn good!”
“Yeah. They sure fucking do.”
When she finally turned off the vibrator and placed it on the bed next to her, Phenex kissed her, shoving his tongue into her mouth. His sheathed dick brushed up against her tits, sending him out of his mind with the need to fuck her.
Before he could push her onto her back, she rolled over and got on her hands and knees, raising her ass high in the air. “Fuck me, Phenex. Fuck me so hard it hurts.”
“Oh God.” He rammed his dick into her pussy, holding her hips so he could shove it in there, up to his balls. She arched her hips higher, crying out in pleasure. Phenex was lost to the dark side as he thrust in and out, deep and rough. He reached underneath with one hand to massage her clit, and her pussy contracted as another orgasm began to build.
“Yes. Yes! Oh my God, Phenex. Please don’t stop.” He held off his own orgasm until hers was over, but it was the most difficult thing in the world to pull off. No anal tonight. He was done.
After he finished, he withdrew, peeled off the condom, and flopped down on the bed again.
“Do you want to stay here tonight?”
Phenex had fallen asleep next to her, and the question had woken him. He rolled over and pulled her into his arms. “Is that okay?”
“Of course.” She snuggled next to his body and pulled the comforter higher over them. How long had he been asleep? He didn’t remember her covering them in the first place.
“Thanks, Meghan.” She normally didn’t let anyone stay overnight, although Phenex wasn’t sure why. He’d never asked, and wasn’t certain the others had, either.
As her breathing slowed, he let his thoughts wander back to the incident in the club earlier. Even knowing the man who’d struck her was dead now, and no one would find the body, didn’t help. He’d wanted to kill the fucker with his own hands. Deep anger filled him at the thought of anyone touching her. She might not officially be his, but she was the best female friend he’d ever had.
Regardless of whether she officially belonged to him or not, any man who struck a woman wasn’t a real man. He was a fucking douchebag who deserved every bad thing possible, starting with a brutal fuck in the ass with a giant corn cob, coated with hot peppers.
Phenex pulled her closer, but she didn’t stir. She was finally asleep. He closed his eyes and wished they shared a room so he’d never have to ask whether he could stay over.
You had your chance, asshole.
He frowned into the darkness. Yes, he’d had his chance to be more than best friends with her, shortly after she’d first come here. She’d put her feelings out there, but Phenex had shot her down. Cold. They never talked about it, but at times like this, when he dared to fantasize that she was his and his alone, the guilt of that day still haunted him.
It wasn’t that he hadn’t been taken with this copper-haired beauty from day one. He had been. But he’d also just come out of a relationship with a sweetbutt who was no longer at the club. A sweetbutt who had played him for a complete fool. At the time, losing his heart to yet one more sweetbutt was the last fucking thing he’d wanted to do.
He was lucky Meghan still gave him the time of day. The fact that their friendship had grown out of that incident was a testament to the kind of person she was. And that was exactly why he would not risk hurting her again.
Since that day, s
he’d never given him the slightest indication she still had feelings beyond friendship for him. She never turned him down for sex, but their relationship was just that. MC officer and sweetbutt, who happened to be able to tell each other anything, and who were closer friends than Phenex was with some of his Brothers.
This was his own doing. He’d made this into what it was, so he was the one who would have to deal with it. But at times like this, when he held her close in the dark and she couldn’t see his face or hear his thoughts, Phenex fantasized about having what Tannin, Gorgon, and now Mastema had. He daydreamed about having someone to love. To call his own. Someone who looked at him the way Rai looked at Tannin, the way Chloe looked at Gorgon, and the way Kayla looked at Mastema. A woman he could grow old with.
The only woman who would ever fit that bill was Meghan, but she no longer wanted him in that way. He enjoyed the fantasy once in a while, but that’s as far as it would go. Because he cared too much for her to cause her further emotional pain.
Chapter Three
Meghan had promised Chloe she would help with breakfast, but when the alarm buzzed, it was tempting to turn it off and snuggle back under the covers next to Phenex. He mumbled something incoherent as she reached over him to stop the obnoxious noise. She kissed him on the cheek, whispering, “Go back to sleep.”
After she took a very quick shower, she donned a sweatshirt and yoga pants, slipping on a pair of flats before heading down to the kitchen. Chloe and Connie, a sweetbutt known to the Brothers as Creamy, were already there. “Sorry. Late night.”
“Your stomach again?” asked Connie.
“We didn’t expect you,” said Chloe. “Not after what happened with those men.”
“You need help.”
“Rai and Natalie are on the way. You can go back upstairs if you want.”
That was tempting, but she was already awake and here. “I’m all right. I can take a nap later if I need to.”
“Why are you here?” Rai asked, walking into the room with Natalie, a dancer whose stage name was Honey.
“I didn’t get the memo.”
“Nice to have the extra help,” said Natalie. “I won’t turn it down.”
“Gorgon wants French toast this morning,” said Chloe, addressing Meghan. “Feel like tackling that?”
“Sure.”
As Meghan worked on the mixture, Rai asked the group if anyone had heard more news about the four men. “Tannin only said they’re no longer a threat.”
“Phenex didn’t come out and say it, but they’re dead. Donny’s men took care of them.”
“That’s a nasty bruise on your face,” said Rai, her voice hard. “He said one of them hit you.”
“Yeah. I didn’t make his drink right.”
“Did you all hear what Kayla did?” asked Chloe.
“Not sure I want to,” said Connie.
“It’s not bad.” When Kayla had first come here a few weeks ago, she’d barely done a thing to help any of them, and had acted like a diva. Things were much better now, and Meghan would forever be in the girl’s debt after last night.
“Chloe’s right,” she said. “It’s not bad at all, plus Kayla has really changed for the better.”
“Okay,” said Connie. “What did she do?”
“She was behind the bar with me when two of the men started calling me names over the drink I made one of them. Tannin and Phenex came over and tried to calm them down, and then Mastema was behind the bar, asking Kayla what was going on.”
“Why was she behind the bar?” asked Natalie.
“She was watching the dancers and just hanging out with me.”
Chloe nodded. “Yeah. I told her she should come down more often and do that, and she said she would.”
“So what happened next?” asked Connie.
“One of the guys was giving Mastema a really nasty look, and then he just leaped over the bar and tried to grab Kayla. The other one followed, but he came after me. Gene was there, too, and so was Vassago. Gene and Mastema subdued the first guy, while Phenex and Vassago got the second off me, but not before he hit me.”
“When did Kayla punch him?”
“It was the other guy she punched. The one that came after her first.”
“Wow,” said Rai. “Good for her.”
Natalie nodded. “Mastema is a positive influence on her.”
“By the way,” said Chloe, “Kayla is Mastema’s old lady now. Gorgon just heard. He’ll let everyone know, but it’s okay to spread the word.”
“Are you kidding me?” asked Connie.
“Why does that surprise you?” asked Meghan. “I think it’s wonderful. They’re happy together. We all never thought it would happen for him. He’s been living with a dark cloud over his head for a long time.”
“What do you mean?”
Wishing she’d kept her big mouth shut, Meghan cut her gaze toward Chloe for guidance. Chloe shrugged slightly, but nothing in her expression indicated Meghan shouldn’t tell Connie about Mastema’s past. “He had an old lady before. She died eight years ago in a car crash.”
“You’re kidding. I didn’t know that.”
“He doesn’t spread it around. He’s a private person.” Meghan only knew because Rahab had told her once, after she’d fucked him. Rahab was a gossipy thing after sex. Most of the secrets about the patched members she’d learned had come from him.
“I just didn’t realize he and Kayla had become that close,” said Connie.
“Well I think it’s fantastic. It’s about time he was happy,” said Natalie.
“Sure, but I’ll miss fucking him.”
They all laughed. “Honestly,” said Natalie, “he always looked so sad to me, when he didn’t think anyone else was watching. Same with Phenex. He hardly ever smiles.”
Meghan had her back turned at the moment, so she let her own smile slip out, but said nothing. No one but Chloe knew how she secretly yearned to belong to Phenex, and she intended to keep it that way. She’d confessed her feelings once, soon after she had come here, but his reaction had assured her that he only wanted to be her friend.
“So why did those men come here last night?” asked Natalie.
“They were followers of Mad Dog,” said Meghan. “They’ve split off from the original Outlaw Dogs and formed their own group. Apparently, the rumors about Mad Dog talking to Mob bosses in other states is true, because they’re under the protection of a man from Queens that Donny calls bad news.”
It was too quiet behind her, so Meghan turned to face the others. Even Chloe looked surprised, and once more she wished she hadn’t spoken. What Phenex told her obviously hadn’t been communicated to anyone outside the officers yet. Fuck.
“Sorry. I thought everyone knew.”
“Who told you?” asked Rai.
“One of the officers.” She wasn’t about to rat out Phenex. “I thought it was public news by now.” Asking Connie or Natalie to keep quiet about it was pointless, so she didn’t bother.
“I’m sure it will be soon,” said Chloe. “This is bad about the Mob boss from Queens.”
“Yeah, it is.” Meghan was finished with the French toast, so she put it on a plate along with cinnamon and chocolate syrup, the way Gorgon liked to eat it. She handed the plate to Chloe. “Here you go.”
“Thanks.” Chloe added a ton of bacon and topped off the meal with a generous scoop of hash browns. “Be right back.”
Natalie and Connie were done with the meals they’d prepared, so once they left the kitchen, Meghan gave Rai a sheepish grin. “Me and my big mouth.”
“I wouldn’t worry about it. Everyone will know by this afternoon. You know how this place is better than I do.”
“Did you know, too?”
“Yes. Chloe and I both did. She heard it from Gorgon this morning, but Donny actually told me last night before Tannin did. You have me worried, though. Please tell me it was truly an officer who told you. If this got outside their group already, Tannin needs to know.”
“No, it was Phenex. But, shit, I hope I didn’t just get him in trouble.”
“You didn’t. I’m sure Gorgon will tell the other members and prospects today. And, you never said it was Phenex. You only said one of the officers. So neither Natalie nor Connie can say it was Phenex, specifically, who told you.”
Heat flooded Meghan’s face, so she pretended to be totally engrossed in cleaning the pan she’d just used. So much for not ratting out Phenex. “Will you please not say anything about this to anyone?”
“Consider it our secret.”
“Thanks, Rai. Do you need help with anything?”
“No. I’m done. Be right back.”
Meghan cleaned the other pans so when everyone returned, they could use them again right away. Chloe was the first to return. “So, I just passed Rai in the hallway upstairs. She said she doesn’t know who told you the reason the men were here last night.”
“Yes, she does. I told all of you. It was an officer.”
“Meghan…”
That tone indicated Chloe was worried. Probably for the same reason Rai had been. “Fine. It was Phenex.”
“Thank you. I needed to know this hadn’t gotten outside the officer group.”
“Rai said the same thing.”
Chloe gave her a droll look. “So you did tell her.”
“Yeah.”
“This is important shit, Meghan.”
“I’ve been here long enough to understand that, Chloe. I made a mistake saying what I did in front of Natalie and Connie, okay?”
“Okay. No harm done.” Chloe cut her gaze toward Meghan’s left cheek. “I’ll bet Phenex had plenty to say about that bruise on your face.”
“He broke the man’s nose. With the toe of his boot.” Meghan did her best to imitate Phenex’s words and gestures when he had told her about breaking the man’s nose, and Chloe laughed.
“I can totally see him saying that, too. In exactly that same way.” She studied Meghan’s expression for a few seconds. “Are you two together now?”
