The President: Devil's Henchmen MC, Book Two

by Samantha McCoy

  “I am a lot better now.” The honesty in his voice almost caused her to come undone.

  They stood there for a few moments, just hugging each other. Needing comfort. Devin was the first to pull away, but not completely. Taking Beth by the hand, he led her to the bed. She watched as he pulled the covers back and laid down.

  “Lay down with me, Beth.” His voice rolled across her skin like honey. Rich and smooth. Raising goosebumps on her flesh. Beth crawled into bed and snuggled closer to Devin.

  She felt his hand lift the hem over her shirt and caress her bare skin. “Devin,” she moaned.

  “Shhh... Let me make love to you Beth, please,” he pleaded. Just like with their son, there was no way Beth could deny him. No way she could say no to the man who still held her heart.

  “Okay,” was whispered through a breath as it left her lips.

  Chapter Eleven

  Sledge

  After listening to Reaper explain the level of depravity Beth’s father had reached, Sledge had to leave. He hated to walk away from her when she needed him, but his temper was no longer his to control. He had already scared her once, he had no intention of doing it again. He had gone to the gym. Not even bothering to change clothes, he took to the bags. That sick son of a bitch destroyed his life. He ripped his heart from his chest, left him broken - and all for a Goddamn vote! And poor Beth... All this time, he was angry with her. Angry that she would allow her father to control her life, their life. He felt sick. Eight years gone because of that bastard! Not anymore, Sledge was done letting Beth’s father control her, control them. He had the woman he had always loved under his roof and his son. His family. And he was going to fight to keep them.

  That’s what going to Beth’s room was about. He needed to hold her. After the blow from Reaper, he wanted to get back the years he’d missed. When Beth told him he couldn’t stay, he felt his dream slip from his fingertips. He left her room, feeling like he was losing her all over again, but this time it was worse because they had a son. Sledge thought he had made a huge mistake. He thought Beth didn’t want him, didn’t feel anything for him anymore. So when he opened his door to find her standing there, looking like a wet dream - yeah he was beyond shocked. Truly, shocked would be an understatement.

  Now, holding her in his arms, feeling her skin under his palm, he was in heaven. Slowly, he trailed his hand across her stomach. The stomach that had held their son. He felt Beth shiver and watched as goosebumps formed on her smooth skin.

  Sledge wanted to see her, all of her. Sitting up, he moved to straddle Beth’s hips. Using both hands, he glided them up her sides, taking her shirt with them. Over her stomach, over her full breasts, then over her head; leaving her upper body completely bare to him.

  She was gorgeous. Leaning down, Sledge pressed his lips to hers. It was their first kiss in eight years. What started as a slow, gentle meeting of lips, quickly turned into a blazing inferno. Tongues warred for dominance.

  Beth’s hands went into his hair; tugging, pulling, trying to get him closer; and Sledge loved it. With a loud groan, he pulled his lips from hers. Beth’s breathy moan filled his ears. Sledge kissed and nibbled his way across her jaw and to the sensitive spot beneath her ear. He sucked gently, then moved down to her shoulder. He remembered everything about her. Everything that drove her crazy with need. The map of her body was forever imprinted in his mind.

  At her shoulder, Sledge bit down hard. “Oh shit,” she breathed.

  “That’s my girl,” he said, followed by another bite.

  Sledge continued his assault, making his way towards her breasts. “Damn, these are the most beautiful tits I have ever seen.” He sucked one into his mouth. Using the tip of his tongue, he flicked it across her; while his hand tweaked the other nipple. Beth’s back arched off the bed. Her moans filled the room. Sledge moved his mouth to the other nipple, giving it the same attention, as Beth squeezed her thighs together beneath him to get some type of release. But, Sledge wouldn’t let her go that easy.

  Positioning one of his legs between her legs, he prevented her from easing the ache that he knew she was struggling to contain. “Devin, please.” She begged loudly, but catching herself she whispered, “Please, I need to come.”

  “This room is sound proof Beth. Scream and beg as loud as you want, nobody will hear us. But honey, you’re not allowed to come yet,” he said around her nipple, then biting down on the tip of the erect bud. Beth’s hands pulled harder on his hair. Pulling him closer, or pushing him away, Sledge didn’t know. But he removed his mouth from her breast and continued a slow glide of his tongue down her stomach.

  Reaching the band of her sleep shorts, Sledge grabbed the sides and slowly lowered them, revealing inch after glorious inch of porcelain skin. “You’re so beautiful, Beth,” he whispered.

  “Devin, if you don’t do something soon, I am going to die in this bed,” she panted.

  Sledge lifted one foot to his mouth and placed a soft kiss on her in-step, causing Beth to release another moan. He loved the sounds she made, always so vocal, so responsive to him. But just as she was relaxing back onto the bed, he bit down on the tender flesh.

  “Oh fuck! Devin!” and he watched as her hand moved to her wet folds.

  “Oh no, you don’t.” Slapping her hand away from her pussy, “That is mine Beth, or have you forgotten?”

  “No. But please Devin. Touch me!” she begged.

  “I am,” he told her and he gave the other foot the same treatment.

  Sledge moved his way up between Beth’s legs, biting and kissing all the delicate spots along the way. By the time he made his way to her tender flesh, he could see her wetness, feel her heat.

  Sledge breathed in her sweet smell, then blew a hot breath across her.

  “Damn it Devin! Eat me or fuck me! Do something pl-” she never finished because Sledge latched his teeth onto her clit. “Fuck!” she screamed, arching her back off the bed.

  Sledge continued his attack. Licking, sucking, and biting the bundle of nerves, and just as Beth reached the edge, he pushed two fingers deep inside her. He could fill her body spasm around him, her juices coating his hand, but he wouldn’t stop - not until he was finished.

  Beth’s screams grew louder. Not that he cared, but thank goodness for soundproofing, he thought because the entire compound would have been woken by the sounds coming from his woman.

  Finally, Sledge slowed his movements to a stop and Beth collapsed back against the bed. “Oh, we aren’t finished yet honey,” he told her.

  Positioning himself at her entrance, Sledge entered her in one hard, fast stroke, causing both of them to moan. Holding his weight on his forearms, Sledge grabbed a handful of Beth’s hair. Yanking her head to the side, he bit down on her shoulder again. He felt her clench around his cock and shatter beneath him.

  Pulling out, he flipped her over to her hands and knees, then quickly entered her again from behind. Over and over again, he pounded into her. The sound of their flesh meeting echoed through the room, along with her screams of pleasure.

  Bringing a hand swiftly down, Sledge left his handprint across Beth’s round ass. “Yes!” she screamed, “More!”

  This is how sex always was between them. Hard, intense, and explosive. Sledge was a dominate. Always in control, even in the bedroom, and he knew Beth loved it. With another slap across her ass, he grabbed her hair again, yanking her back against his chest.

  “From this moment on,” he said as he continued to pound into her. “You are mine. This pussy is mine,” he growled out the words. “Do. I. Make. Myself. Clear,” he emphasized each word with a hard thrust.

  “Yes,” she moaned.

  “Yes, what?” he demanded, as he slapped a hand across the tip of one sensitive breast.

  “Yes Sir!” she screamed.

  Sledge released his hold on her hair and moved one hand to her throat and the other down to her core. Tightening his grip on her neck, he began a hard rub against her clit as he continued to
drive into her.

  He could feel the tingle start to work its way up his spine. He knew he was close. His balls started to tighten.

  “Come NOW!” he roared.

  Obeying his command, Beth flew apart in his arms, and Sledge joined her. Thrust after thrust, he emptied himself deep inside of her as she milked him of everything he had to offer. Releasing the grip on her throat, they both collapsed onto the bed.

  Panting, he pulled her against his chest. Reaching for the covers, he felt Beth’s relaxed body snuggle closer to him. As his eyes closed, his last thought before sleep took him was, this is how his life was always supposed to be.

  Chapter Twelve

  Beth

  Beth woke the next morning to the realization that she was alone. Reaching a hand across the bed, all she could feel were the cold sheets. Devin must have left a while ago. She sat up in the door and felt the soreness between her legs. Last night was the first time she’d had sex since she picked Devin up from the airport, eight years ago.

  Leaving the warmth of the covers, she found her clothes and quickly dressed. Seeing no note or any message to explain where Devin had gone, she quietly left his room, pulling the door closed behind her. Entering her room, she found it empty, too. Derek must be downstairs already, she thought. She needed a shower before she even considered heading in that direction.

  Walking into the bathroom, she stripped off her night clothes, but her reflection in the mirror had her stopping. Love bites marred her skin. On her right shoulder was the perfect outline of Devin’s teeth. Beth ran her fingers over the mark. She felt a twinge of pain, but it was a good pain. Sex with Devin had always been that way. Rough, intense, incredible. Pain and pleasure. He didn’t even know it, but he ruined her for anyone else; hence, why she hadn’t had sex with anyone since him. He was her first, and her last. She was his submissive, and that was just the way Beth liked it.

  Turning away from the mirror, she stepped in the shower and turned on the spray. She watched the water travel down the wall, waiting for it to heat. Once warmed, she stepped under the spray. Her thoughts returned to waking up alone. What did that mean? Where was he now? Was last night just a quick fuck for Devin?... So many thoughts ran through her head. What now, she thought as she washed the conditioner from her hair. Well, she wouldn’t find answers in the bathroom. So she turned off the water and grabbed a towel. Drying herself, she heard Amber calling her name from the bedroom.

  “Hey Am,” she said walked out of the bathroom. “Whatcha need?”

  Amber just looked at her. “What is that?” she pointed to the mark on Beth’s shoulder. Beth could feel the heat climb to her cheeks.

  “Um...” she stammered.

  Invading Beth’s personal space, Amber took a closer look. “Is that a bite mark?” Beth couldn’t have missed the surprise in Amber’s voice if she wanted to.

  But honestly, she was a grown ass woman who had sex last night. Really good, brain explosive sex! What did she have to be embarrassed about?

  Lifted her face, she looked Amber in the eyes, “Yeah, it is,” she said simply, walking to her dresser to find clothes.

  “Who the fuck bit...” realization dawned on her, and Amber didn’t finish the question. “Beth! If Devin finds out that one of the Henchmen touched you, especially like that,” she waved her hand towards Beth to indicate the mark. “He will literally kill whoever it was!”

  “Amber, no he won’t,” she said trying to calm her friend.

  “Beth! Yes, he fucking will! You are the mother of his child. Therefore, you are off limits!” Amber was close to hysterics.

  “Oh for the love of all that is holy! Amber! Calm yourself, woman! Devin is the one who left the marks!” This conversation was getting crazy.

  “Devin?” Amber asked, sitting on the bed. Suddenly, she busted out laughing. “Oh shit! My brother is a kink!” Amber fell backwards on the bed holding her stomach and tears of laughter rolling down her face.

  “Oh shut up!” Beth laughed as she finished getting dressed. “I’m hungry,” she said as she walked out of the bedroom with Amber close behind her.

  Her interaction with Amber helped to relieve some of the uncertainty she felt. If Devin didn’t care about her, why would he care if she had sex with someone else, right? Or maybe Amber had it all wrong... Ugh! Beth thought as she walked into the kitchen. Why couldn’t Devin have just stayed in the bed? Why didn’t she ask what he wanted from her before they had sex last night? Because she was horny and craving what only he could give her, that’s why, she concluded.

  “Mom!” Beth heard as she entered the kitchen. Looking over, she saw Derek sitting next to his father. Beth felt the tension leave her. Of course, he woke up with Derek and the two were just finishing breakfast. Waving to her son, she went to the coffee pot. She needed liquid energy, stat! Walking over to the table, butterflies started to take flight in her stomach. How was she supposed to act? All the previous questions came back to her mind.

  Leaning over she kissed Derek on the temple. “How did you sleep?”

  “Good! Dad woke me up this morning so we could eat breakfast together. He said we should let you sleep in.”

  Meeting Devin’s gaze, she smiled at him. “Well, that was very sweet of you both. Thank you.”

  “Did you not sleep well?” came the innocent sounding question.

  Beth almost choked on her coffee. “I slept fine, buddy,” she coughed out.

  Zander cleared his throat, bringing the attention of the table around to him. Beth was glad for the distraction, but it didn’t last long.

  “You ready?” Zander asked Devin.

  “Yeah, let’s go.” Devin said standing up from the table.

  “Where are y’all headed today?” Beth wanted to thank Amber for asking because she didn’t think she would have had the courage to.

  “Duty calls,” Zander told her, leaning down to place a kiss on her lips.

  “Okay,” Amber answered breathless.

  “Ewww!” Derek said, making gagging noises and causing everyone to laugh. Leave it to the little boy in the group to break the awkwardness.

  Devin ruffled the hair on top of Derek’s head, “Remember, I’ll see you at dinner, okay?” he asked.

  “Yes Sir,” Derek replied.

  Turning to Beth, he gave her a wink and walked out of the room. A wink! What the hell was a damn wink? Fuck her into oblivion, and then give her a wink? Seriously?!?! Beth was stunned. She really had no idea what to think anymore. Feeling her heart sink, she needed a distraction.

  “How about spending the day at the pool?” she asked Derek, who gave an excited “Whoop!”

  “Let’s go get changed,” she told him. “You coming, Amber?”

  “Hell yeah! A chance to spend the day with my favorite nephew and my best friend? Hell yes, I’m in!”

  Everyone headed to their rooms to change with the agreement to meet down at the pool. Beth kicked herself in the ass for suggesting a swim. How was she supposed to cover the bite mark? She didn’t want to have to explain it to Derek. Deciding to wear a tank top over her swimsuit, they finally made their way outside.

  The trio spent the entire day laughing, splashing, and having a great time. Beth was right, it was just the distraction she needed. It worked so well, none of them even noticed that Zander and Devin had joined them until a huge splash sent water flying; and Zander surfaced from a cannon ball.

  Looking to the side of the pool, Beth’s lungs completely stopped functioning. Devin stood along the edge in nothing but his boxer briefs. Last night, she wasn’t able to see him because of the darkened room; but out here, with the sun shining, she could see every magnificent inch of him. Devin Parks had only gotten better with age.

  She watched as he dove into the water, barely making a ripple. He surfaced next to Derek and splashed water in his face. The two continued to play, neither paying any attention to her. Beth was torn. She was elated that Devin and Derek had bonded and were having a good time, but her h
eart was heavy because Devin had barely spared her a glance.

  Climbing out of the pool, she walked over to the lounge chair and sat down. She was trying to get some sun. Determined to not let Devin’s lack of attention ruin her afternoon, she leaned back and enjoyed the sun against her face. A few minutes later, she saw darkness come over her and knew someone was standing next to her. Opening her eyes, she watched Viper sink onto the chair next to hers.

  “Need any help rubbing in some suntan lotion?” he asked.

  Laughing, Beth shook her head. “Nah, I’m good for now.”

  “Are you sure? Because I really don’t mind.” He tried again.

  “You even attempt to touch her, and I drop you,” Beth jumped, startled at hearing the promise in Devin’s voice. She never even heard him approach.

  Viper bellowed a laugh, causing Beth to look at him like he lost his mind. He just winked at her and stood up. Raising his hand in surrender, he turned his gaze back to Beth. “You’re welcome,” was all he said as he walked away.

  “For what?” she called to his retreating back. But he never answered, he just walked back into the house.

  Chapter Thirteen

  Sledge

  Today was a rough day. Sledge hated to get out of bed and leave the warmth of Beth, sleeping against his side. But he had a meeting with Reaper and Banjo. Being able to see her at breakfast was definitely a plus. He spent the rest of the day thinking about her. Last night was incredible. They had always had great sex, but last night went beyond that. Sledge couldn’t stop thinking about a repeat all over again tonight.

  Once the meetings were over, he and Reaper went searching for the girls. Finding them out at the pool, he couldn’t help but stand there and stare at Beth. She was beautiful and as always, she took his breath away.

  Sledge didn’t know how he was supposed to act around her. They never really talked about the future, or even had a chance to. What if she didn’t want a serious relationship with him again? What if sex was all she cared to have between them? He knew he would never be happy with that. He wanted more. But he wasn’t going to have that discussion now. He’d talk to her more tonight.
