Inking Eagle (Charon MC Trilogy Book 1)

With another growl I took her mouth again. It was rough and hot, and when I wrapped my palm over her breast, kneading it before tweaking the metal bar through her nipple, she arched against me with a loud moan. I kissed a trail down her throat and kept going until I had my mouth on her tits. I kept working her over with my lips and teeth as I ran my hands down further and pushed her jeans and panties over her hips.
The way she writhed under my hands and mouth was so fucking sexy it nearly had me coming in my pants like a fucking teenager. When her boots stopped me from getting her completely naked, my frustration rose up.
“Dammit.”
I scooped her up and tossed her on the bed. She giggled as I attacked her boots until I had them off and could rip her jeans free. Once she was naked I stood up and took in the sight. Her parted lips were dark red from my kisses, the small love bites dotting her chest had me grinning. She’d wear my marks for a few days at least. After tearing my shirt over my head, I tugged on my belt, loosening the buckle before I undid my jeans. Her eyes zeroed in on what I was doing as she continued to squirm on the bed.
Toeing off my own boots, I shoved my jeans and boxer-briefs down in one movement. The way her eyes widened and her palms went to her breasts had me gripping my cock and giving it a few strokes.
“You gonna let me have you, Silk? Even though I don’t have my top rocker yet.”
She licked her lips and her stare remained glued to my hand sliding over my hard length.
“Would I be lying here naked if I didn’t want you to fuck me, Eagle? I don’t give a shit if you have your patch or not. But you’re not doing it without a condom.”
I smirked as I reached for my discarded jeans, searching for my wallet.
“I’ll wrap it up for you, baby. Don’t you worry about that.”
I pulled the condom out before I chucked the wallet back down on top of my jeans. I tossed the condom on the bed beside Silk before resting a knee between her feet.
“I’ve been waiting a long time to have you like this, baby. All soft and naked...waiting for me to ease that ache you have.”
Silk
I struggled to tear my gaze away from his dick. He had it fisted in his hand and was stroking it slow and hard. Fuck. I wanted him. When he gripped my ankle with his other hand, my gaze followed the movement. His skin looked so dark compared to my incredibly pale leg. His Native American heritage meant his skin was a deep tan color all over and I wanted nothing more than to taste every inch. I ran my tongue over my lower lip at the thought.
“Don’t tease, baby. That’s not nice.”
I blinked up at him. “How was I teasing? You’re the one sitting there out of my reach, looking sexy as fuck.”
Feeling cheeky, I ran my palms over my breasts, tweaking my nipples before running one hand down my torso.
“Guess, I’ll just have to play with what I can reach.”
As my fingertip grazed my clit a low growl filled the room.
“That’s mine.”
A moment later he was on me, shoving my legs apart and diving face first between them in one smooth movement. A brush of hot air against my flesh was my only warning before he set his mouth on me.
“Fuuuuck.”
Unable to stay still, I bucked up against him as he thrust his tongue deep within me. Well, at least I did until he gripped each of my hips in his hands and held me still. I fisted one hand in his silky hair, and the other in the bed cover. The coil of desire in my lower belly building faster than it ever had before. Eagle alternated between swiping the flat of his tongue over me, nipping my clit, and thrusting his tongue deep in my pussy. Every move he made had me panting and shivering under the onslaught. My climax grew closer and I thrashed my head back and forth as I moaned his name. I groaned when he lifted his head to stare up into my eyes. It was more than a mere ache, my pussy pulsed with need. I licked my lips, ready to demand he put his mouth back on me, but stopped short when he released a hip and pressed two fingers deep within me, curling them forward until he found my secret spot. Before I could take a full breath I blew apart. With a scream, I arched up from the mattress, pressing myself firmly against his mouth once more as he began to lap at me again.
Panting, I lay in a contented heap, watching Eagle through half closed eyes. He reached for the condom and covered himself with it before he crawled up over me. As soon as he was close enough, I reached for him, wrapping my arms around his neck to bring him down to me. I licked at his lips, moaning as I caught a taste of myself mixed with his unique flavor. He took possession of my mouth in the same instant that he gripped my thigh, lifted it and thrust deep. My internal muscles were still recovering from my first climax and rippled against his hard length. My body undulated beneath him, loving how he trapped me with his larger frame.
“So fucking tight. You feel so good, Silk.”
He kissed me again, before he lifted up to get more leverage to pound into me. Every glide of his cock into me sent me higher. I ran my palms over his shoulders, down his pecs and pinched at his nipples.
“Fuck me, woman.”
He leaned back to kneel as he lifted my ass in his hands. The next thrust in had him going deeper than ever and I threw out my hands to grab the covers, desperately searching for something to keep me grounded as he struck my g-spot with Every. Single. Stroke.
“Eagle!”
Stars and black spots swam across my vision as I struggled to drag breath in as my second orgasm hit me like a freight train. I heard my name a few moments before Eagle’s weight was over me, pressing me into the mattress. As my mind came back online, I groaned. Damn man weighed a ton... and it was all hard muscle.
“Sorry, didn’t mean to squish you.”
He gave me another quick peck on the lips, before rolling off both me and the bed and took the few steps over to the bathroom. I couldn’t resist watching his very fine ass as he strode away. Damn, but that man was certainly built to please. When he disappeared from view, I shifted around until I was under the covers. I was tired and could use an hour or two nap before I had to sit on a bike for who knows how long. The boys may want to do the rest of the trip without any more long stops. At a guess, we still had at least ten hours of ride time ahead of us. With only short stops, that was a long time to sit on the back of a bike. I’d been riding bikes forever, but even for me that was a long haul.
I was already drifting off when Eagle came back and pulled the covers off. My heart did a flip when, with care, he lifted my leg and wiped a warm washcloth over my inner thighs and pussy. He pulled the cover back over me before he turned and tossed the cloth back into the bathroom. Next thing I knew, I had over six feet of delicious male spooned up against me, his stiff dick pressed against my ass. I couldn’t resist wriggling a little against him.
“Quit teasing me, woman. I only had the one condom, and we do need to catch some shut-eye before we head off again.”
Chuckling, I snuggled back against him and let myself go, knowing with certainty, Eagle would keep me safe while I slept.
The next thing I knew, soft lips were pressing kisses over my bare shoulder.
“Hmmm.”
“Sorry, baby. I wish I could let you sleep longer, but we gotta get up and get moving.”
I rolled onto my back and stretched out, getting the kinks out of my spine as I always did when I woke. And was rewarded with a low tortured groan.
“You are a cruel woman, Silk. I’ll leave you to grab a quick shower while I discuss with the boys where we’re going.”
That got my attention.
“I don’t need a shower, and where are we going? I thought we were going home?”
I stood from the bed and moved around, gathering my clothes to put on.
“We’re going back to Bridgewater, but I don’t think going to your place or the clubhouse is a smart idea right now. I have no idea what kind of trouble Bulldog is going to kick up back in L.A. before they leave.”
I winced. Yeah, Uncle Clint was no dou
bt delivering a beat down that was going to come back and bite the club in the ass. Especially her if they could get their hands on her.
“I know where we can go. Let’s go find the others.”
As soon as we were both dressed, I ran my fingers through my hair, hoping it didn’t look like I’d just been fucked. I slung my bag over my head and grabbed my helmet before I followed Eagle out the door.
“That bag of yours looks damn heavy. Want to put it in my saddle bag?”
Anyone else, I wouldn’t trust to keep it safe, but this was Eagle and deep down I knew he would never intentionally hurt me.
“Um, yeah. It kinda is now. That’d be great.”
He gave me a funny look, but I wasn’t ready to discuss what my father had left me in that box. I strode off toward where the bikes sat, Mac and Taz leaning against a wall next to them, both with smirks on their faces. I winced at them knowing what Eagle and I had done earlier.
“You two better keep your mouths shut about Eagle and me, or he’ll get a beat down like you read about.”
Both their expressions turned to stone on a dime.
“Neither of us would ever betray our brother, Silk. You don’t even have to say it. You should know that.”
“Yeah well, I didn’t want to risk it. The cost is too high. Right, now Eagle said y’all don’t think it’s a great idea for me to be staying in town when we get back. I have a place. I normally take off for the week or so around the ninth of September, so I’ve got a cabin all booked and ready to go. I’m also not scheduled at the shop for a couple of weeks, so disappearing won’t be an issue for me work-wise.”
She wasn’t sure what the three men were scheduled to do for the club, but she was certain Scout and Bulldog would handle it so they were all free and clear for the time they were gone.
“Where is this place of yours? And who knows where it is?”
“It’s on the coast, about an hour’s ride from my home. And no one knows, not even Gabs or my uncle. I go off grid every year. Uncle Clint doesn’t like it, but he can respect my reasons for it and has left it alone so far. So, you three better keep it to yourselves. I do not want to have to find a new hiding spot because everyone in the club suddenly knows where to find me.”
Although I pretty much suspected I would need to do just that, regardless. No way would these three be able to deny telling Scout or my uncle its location. As Prospects, they didn’t really have a say in the matter.
Losing the cabin was going to hurt like a bitch. I loved that house. If I could afford it, I’d have bought the place. But it was buy the cabin or start up Silky Ink. Naturally, I’d chosen my shop, especially considering the owner of the cabin was a lovely older man who had told me I could buy it from him whenever I could afford it–that he wouldn’t sell it out from under me.
Chapter 9
Silk
Two hours after we arrived at my cabin, I still couldn’t get rid of my final guard. The place I rented each year wasn’t really a cabin. It was huge, with two bathrooms and four bedrooms. Plenty of room for us all to have our own space. Which was what I wanted desperately to have. I hadn’t read my father’s letter, or gone through his bag properly. I didn’t want help to do either of those things. I wanted to be alone. But Eagle was refusing to be reasonable. At least Mac and Taz had finally gone to bed. The two of them had scouted the landscape surrounding the place for nearly an hour before they returned, announced it was safe enough for now, and headed to their rooms.
We’d been on the road until well into the night and were all tired, but I couldn’t sleep. Not until I at least read my father’s letter. The bag could wait, but his letter could not.
“It’s late, Silk. Just come to bed already, and we’ll continue arguing in the morning.”
“You go to bed. I need a little alone time before I call it a night.”
His gaze darkened. “I’m not leaving you alone. Until we’re certain the threat from Sabella has passed, you’re not to ever be left alone. You getting taken while I stood by your shop’s entrance proved that point.”
I threw my hands up in the air in frustration. “You’ll be right next door!”
He shook his head. “No, I’ll be right beside you.”
I glared at him as my temper rose. This was such bullshit! With a growl, I shoved past him into the master bedroom. If he wouldn’t leave me alone, then I’d just pretend he wasn’t here. I dumped my handbag on the bed, the weight of it sinking deep into the fluffy comforter. Unzipping it, I pulled it open and began rummaging around for the letter.
“What the fuck is in your damn bag?”
I froze at the steel laced through his voice.
“What do you mean?”
He snatched the bag from me and up ended it on the bed, the contents spreading out. I snatched the envelope and held it against my chest as he pushed the rolls of cash into a pile, then carefully picked up the gun and checked it out.
“You had a gun on you the entire time and didn’t try to use it?” He shook his head again. “Why didn’t Sabella search you and take it away? Or the money. Isn’t that what he was chasing? Money? I don’t understand, Silk.”
“I don’t know what my father had that belonged to Antonio, but I assumed it would be money. It’s not my gun or cash. This is all the stuff that my father left me in a box at the bank. There were two boxes. When I went in with the key, they checked the system and there was a second box under my name attached to the key. I gave Antonio the key and his box, then once he’d taken them into a private viewing room. I opened my box, emptied it all into my bag and ran out of there.”
Silently he reached over and tore off the note that I’d stuck back on the envelope. I tried to grab it but stopped when Eagle gave me a glare.
“That’s not yours to read.”
“If it affects your safety, then it sure as hell is mine to read.”
I could feel my face heat with my fury. Who the fuck did he think he was?
“Personal messages from my father. My dead father. Are mine alone.”
My temper was close to breaking. He was already scanning the damn note so there was no point in arguing really. But he was infuriating me. First, with not giving me time by myself, and now, with not respecting my privacy one little bit. When he held the note out, I snatched it from him and tightened my grip on the envelope. No way in hell was he getting to look in there first.
“So, I’m guessing your pops knew he’d screwed up with Sabella and that his days were numbered. I’m also guessing he knew the bastard would come after you. Want to tell me what’s in the envelope you’ve got a death grip on?”
“I don’t know. I haven’t looked yet. It’s why I wanted you to go away for a while.”
His expression softened and he reached out to stroke his knuckles down my cheek.
“You know I’m here for you. The fact Bulldog put me in charge of keeping you safe, is nothing more than a really good excuse for me to be here. Trust me, even if I wasn’t anything to do with the club, I’d be chasing you down.”
Frowning, I looked him up and down. He was as beautiful as ever, but his eyes looked tired and his shoulders were slumped. Was he telling the truth?
“I don’t believe you.”
Any hint of his weariness disappeared, and in the blink of an eye he was standing right in front of me. He tore the envelope from my grip and tossed it on the pile of stuff from my bag.
“You think I lose my mind over every female that gets kidnapped? You think I don’t sleep with worry every time I hear a woman’s been taken? Or do you think I devour every woman I can get my hands on, like I did you? I have never felt like this in my life. You are the only one who’s ever had me so fucking twisted up in knots, I don’t know which way is up.”
As he’d spoken I’d backed away, his voice a whip that left me reeling. I couldn’t think of what to say. I didn’t even know what I truly wanted him to do. Did I really want him to go and leave me alone? The things I felt when he was nea
r were both amazing and scary as fuck. I blinked as I licked my lips, his gaze tracking the movement. When he growled, I turned to run. I couldn’t handle this right now. Not with my mind still spinning from all I’d learned about who my father had been.
The breath rushed out of me when Eagle caught me around the waist and easily lifted me until my feet were off the ground.
“Put me down! Don’t touch me!”
He had my arms pinned, but my legs were free and I tried to kick him, but he managed to avoid each blow. My temper rose each moment he stayed silent while I thrashed against his tight hold. I needed to blow off some steam before I could think straight again and he wasn’t helping by keeping me captive.
Suddenly I was flying through the air. At the same time I landed on the mattress, all my stuff noisily shifting as I landed. A scream tore from my throat for a moment before Eagle clapped his hand over my mouth.
“Stop it. Or do you want Mac and Taz in here for this?”
He released my mouth and I got one breath in before Eagle’s hard body had me pinned down. I couldn’t move an inch. Especially when he shifted his hands to hold my face still between his palms. I was panting hard, my attempts to fight him off, had me worked up. Each inhale pushed my breasts harder against his chest. My gaze focused in on his lips of their own accord. They were soft and I kind of wanted to nip at the lower one, suck on it a little, but I wouldn’t. I couldn’t give in to him tonight. I’d stupidly fallen into bed with him earlier, but that didn’t mean I handed over my life to the man. I would never allow any man to control me, regardless of how good they were in the sack.
“I don’t want any of you here. Why won’t you let me have this? All I want is a little time alone.”
He lowered his face down to mine and my eyes slid shut when he gently pressed a kiss to my forehead. Something deep inside me settled and calmed at the strangely comforting gesture.
