“I bet,” said Tank, adjusting himself as he walked back to the door.
“Hey Tank,” I called wanting another moment with him. “How did you find me?”
“A little bit of luck and those guys being stupid as shit.” His answer made me snicker.
“That’s it?” I asked, knowing there was more to the story. “Luck and stupidity?”
“Well,” he answered, “there was a little bit more. I saw the tail lights in the distance and was able to free my fucked up bike from the rail. I sped after the car, keeping the lights in sight as I was able to get closer and closer. I eventually saw it pull off the highway. I drove around this small town checking out the three motels. The dumb asses picked the first one off the interstate, but me thinking with my brain started at the furthest away one first and worked backwards. I could kick myself for wasting so much time. Once I found their truck, I waited until they made an appearance before storming in.”
“How is your bike?”
“It has seen better days. Knox brought his truck so we can take it back with us.” Tank pointed to the dresser. “I left some pain meds on the counter. Make sure you take them.”
“Ok.”
“Get some rest. We roll out really soon.”
He closed the door before I had a chance to ask him any questions. The simple trip to throw away my trash turned into quite the adventure as I groaned and grimaced my way over to the trashcan. After I used the bathroom and took two pills, I collapsed back into bed. I never remembered being so tired. My thoughts drifted to Tank and our mini make out session. The ache between my legs felt good as my hand traveled to where his was earlier. I squeezed my thighs hoping for relief as I rubbed my fingertips back and forth over my sensitive nub. I came quickly like I did every night when I thought about Tank. The medication went to work quickly, the ache of my body slowly quieted down and sleep claimed me. My eyes drifted close with thoughts of Tank turning into the naughtiest of dreams that I hoped to make real one day soon.
Tank
The sun was starting to set when Worm, Tru, Knox and I finished cleaning the motel room. That room had never been so clean in its life. There was no trace of the two Hellhounds or Campbell in that room. Thank God we were on the side facing the woods and not the road. Worm and Tru had already left to take care of the Hellhounds, while Knox stayed to help me load my bike into the pick-up he drove so he could take us back.
God, I wanted nothing more than to be back at the clubhouse right now. I needed time to think about what happened next between Sunshine and me. My resolve to keep her at arm’s length was not working, because all I wanted was my Sunshine curled up next to me in bed. But that line of thinking had to stop. I learned that after Colton arrived at the clubhouse and told them what had happened, the club went on lock down. Everyone’s families were brought in and no one was allowed in or out for any reasons. Even the regular sweet butts were brought in because Prez did not know how far gone Crazy Z was and who he would hurt to get info on the club. It sounded like a shit show and had disaster written all over.
“Ready to go?” Knox asked as we both pulled on the cords holding my bike in place.
“Yeah,” I said. “Let me jump in the shower and get Campbell, then we can roll.”
“Don’t you mean Sunshine, lover boy?”
“Shut the fuck up man!” I pushed him as I walked past him.
“What,” he teased, “don’t find me funny no more?”
“Funny looking maybe.” His laughter followed me up the steps of the motel. “Asshole.”
I walked up the flight of stairs and neared the motel room when I heard Campbell screaming. I barreled into the room with my gun drawn, scanning it before running to the bed and taking Sunshine in my arms.
“Shh, Sunshine. I got you. It was just a dream. You’re safe.” Campbell buried herself into my chest as she tried to slow down her breathing. After several deep breaths, she looked up at me with tears in her eyes.
“Tank.” Her voice cracked as tears ran down her cheeks.
“I’m here. No one else. Just me,” I soothed. I pulled her onto my lap so that she straddled me as I rubbed circles on her back. “I got you,” I assured her. I would hold her as long as she needed. After a little while, Sunshine sat straight up as she took in my appearance.
“You look like shit,” she teased. A small smile on her face.
“I feel like shit.”
“And you smell delightful.”
“Well aren’t you the comedian.” Her smile grew bigger. “Everything is cleaned up so I am going to jump in the shower so we can get out of here.”
“Ok,” was all she said as her hands cupped my face.
“You okay?” I asked.
“I will be,” she responded as she lightly kissed my lips. My cock grew as she slowly wiggled her warm body against it.
“Sunshine,” I groaned as I moved to get out of the bed.
“Ok, I’ll stop,” she promised as she clung to me. Sunshine gently ran her hands through my hair. My eyes closed on their own accord as I relished in her touch. Her warm breath fanned across my cheek. I opened my eyes to find Campbell staring back at me. She brushed her lips across mine. She pulled back slightly taking in my smile. “What has you smiling?”
“You,” I answered honestly as I pulled her back down to me and pressed my lips to hers. I felt her smile in return. A knock on the door had me pulling away. “You ready?” Knox yelled through the door.
“Ten minutes,” I hollered.
“Five,” Knox joked back.
“Asshole.” Campbell’s laughter filled the room. I would never tire of that sound. A smile spread across my face as I leaned in and placed another kiss to her lips. “I gotta shower.”
“Yes you do.” She joked, but grimaced as she sat up. “Aren’t you sore?” she asked as I helped her to stand.
“I will be when I finally rest,” I said as she looked me over.
“Maybe we should stay for the night so you can.” Her concern for me was evident.
“Knox is waiting and we should get back. I am sure we are on lockdown by now.”
“You’re probably right.” I placed a chaste kiss to her lips before heading to the bathroom.
My shower was quick as I washed away too much blood, some of my own and a lot of theirs. I was dressed and out of the bathroom right as a horn honked. Knox was so impatient.
“We’re coming,” I griped. My body fought against me the entire time as aches and pains assaulted my body for the first time since this shit show started.
“You ok?” The look of concern on Sunshine’s face had me pulling her into my body.
“Yes,” I replied as I kissed her forehead. “Let’s get back.” She nodded as I led her out of the room. I opened the passenger door to Knox’s truck and Campbell slowly climbed up and into the middle seat.
“Everything good?” Knox asked as he stood on the other side looking over at me. I looked at Campbell smiling back at me and then to Knox, “Never better.”
We sped all the way to the clubhouse. Sunshine had snuggled up against me as I lay my head against the top of hers. We must have both fallen asleep because we woke when the floodlights from the clubhouse blasted the darkness that surrounded us away.
The minute we pulled into the gates a sense of relief washed over me as Campbell let out a sigh of relief. There were more bikes than I could ever remember seeing at one time lined up along the fence. When I looked up at the clubhouse I saw Logan running towards us. Campbell was already scrambling across my lap to get out of the car. She was off my lap and out of the car before I even registered that she was there.
Campbell
“Cam,” Logan sobbed as she took me in her arms. I breathed in her pear scent and hugged her tighter to me as she did the same to me. The rumble of male voices behind us told me that we had company as I began to pull away from Logan. “Not yet,” she whispered as she squeezed me tighter. More rumbling and back slapping could be heard, with
Tank’s deep timbre sending a shiver down my spine.
I sighed as I realized that the events of the last two days were finally over. The exhaustion was starting to take root deep in my bones; I finally understood what bone tired meant. My eyes were heavy as I felt someone stand next to us.
“My turn,” Colt said as he hugged both Logan and I. I was transferred from her arms to his. He pulled me tightly against him. “Hey little sis,” he murmured as I snuggled deeper into his warmth. “You’re safe now.” I nodded my head against his chest fighting the tears that welled in my eyes. “Hey brother,” Colt said, as tingles ran down my body like they always did when Tank was near.
“She needs to rest,” Tank stated as he scooped me up into his arms. My head came to rest against his heart. “We can all talk after.”
“She is exhausted,” Logan agreed, following right behind us as he started to walk inside. “Just put her in Colt’s room and I’ll take . . .” Logan never finished as Tank swung back around.
“Damn,” I heard from a few brothers. I looked up to see Logan frozen in place so I tilted up my head to see Tank glaring at her as if she was trying to take his favorite new toy away.
“Where?” Tank croaked as he turned back around. His body tense as we walked to the clubhouse.
“Colt’s room,” replied Logan.
NOOO! I thought as Tank continued through the clubhouse and up the stairs to the second floor. Things would be different now. He made it seem like everything would be better. Boy was I wrong! I felt my heart cracking as pain pierced my soul. He really did not want me.
Tank came to stop outside what I guessed was Colt’s room. When he did not move to go inside I looked up to see him looking at me with those same black eyes. Tears sprang to my eyes at what I did not see looking back at me.
CHAPTER TWELVE
Tank
There was no way in hell Sunshine was sleeping anywhere but with me. I knew Logan was just being a good sister and looking out for Campbell but there was no fucking way.
I kept telling myself that it was because Crazy Z started a war and I needed to keep an eye on her until this shit was over, but it was just an excuse to get in her my bed. There was no other place I wanted her to be, but with me. I needed sleep and the only way I was going to get it was if Campbell was tucked in next to me the entire time. I was too tired to fight it tonight. She was MINE.
Campbell finally looked up at me after I stood outside my door for what seemed like an eternity. Hurt, rejection, and a dying spark of hope shone through those baby browns. Tears welled in her eyes as she looked into mine. The mask I wore for most people was firmly in place and I knew she saw nothing. Campbell needed to know that this side of me existed since it was the only side she would see very soon.
Just breathe motherfucker. Just breathe.
I set Campbell down as I unlocked my door. Once the door was open I scooped her back up, not stopping until she was laid in the middle of my bed. On her forehead, I placed a soft kiss before I turned back towards the door.
“Please,” she breathed. A small sob filled the quiet in the room. I turned back around to see tears streaking down her cheeks. “Don’t go,” she pleaded.
I clenched and unclenched my hands, wanting nothing more than to touch her; for her to find comfort in my touch as she had back in the motel room. I fought against this urge and I turned back to the door. Another sob followed me as I took hold of the door. With a deep breath, I closed the door and locked it.
“Tank?” The question in her voice killed me because I put it there.
“I’m here Sunshine.” I turned around slowly not knowing what I would find behind me.
“So this is your room,” she laughed-cried. It was more of a statement than a question as she looked around the room, taking it all in.
“Yes,” I replied, taking one step towards the bed.
“You want me here?” The question took me off guard, as if she heard the internal dialogue I have been wrestling with since our ride away from that makeshift camp. Her eyes still stared at the opposite wall.
“I do,” I answered. Another step. I needed her eyes on me but she was being stubborn with her attention.
“Who did that?” Campbell questioned as her eyes ran over the Soul Reaper emblem that was carved into the wooden wall.
“I did.” Look at me! “Sunshine,” I whispered, hating that she denied me what I wanted. I took another step closer and was at the bottom of the bed.
“It’s beautiful,” she murmured, finally making eye contact with me.
“So are you,” I said, slowly stripping out of my clothes, my eyes never leaving hers.
My name was a reverent sigh on her perfect lips as I crawled onto the bed in nothing but my boxer briefs. Her brown eyes widened as the gold flecks glowed; that spark of desire growing within them. My cock stood lengthened and thickened as I buried my nose into her hair. She was so responsive to my touch. A tremble raced through Campbell, leaving goose bumps in its wake.
“Sunshine,” I hummed.
“Yes.” Her breathy response caused my cock to harden.
“Get undressed.” She nodded as she stood up and slowly, so slowly, revealed herself to me piece by mother-fucking piece. Sunshine’s beauty shone even more in nothing but a white cotton bra and panties.
“I want you,” she breathed. Damn if my dick did not like the sound of those three simple words.
Damn it! No matter how much my body craved hers we both needed sleep more than we needed sex. Plus I knew if I ever got a taste of her it would never be enough. I lifted the covers indicating for her to join me.
“So perfect.” I whispered as she joined me in the bed. Sunshine pressed her perfect body right up against me as she ran her fingers along my neckline. My body reacted to her touch, shuddering in response. My reaction had Campbell closing the small distance between us as her lips found mine. I ended the kiss before it really started as I used my body to push her back into the mattress. I placed a lingering kiss at the curve of her neck.
Her damp panties against my thigh showed how affected she was. My need for her stronger than anything I felt in my life, but WE were not ready to take this any further tonight.
“It’s time for bed Sunshine.” Her sharp intake of breath indicated how surprised she was that this was not happening between us. I adjusted my rock hard need as I shifted off of her. Her shock was still evident as I maneuvered her body so that her back was to my front. “Sleep Sunshine,” I insisted as I pulled her rigid body deeper into mine. Over the course of the next thirty minutes, inch by inch Campbell’s body relaxed into mine until her breathing evened out. I quickly followed her, hoping the nightmares would stay away another night with her in my arms.
The smell of summer was overwhelming as I slowly came awake. Actual sunshine shone in around the window shades, letting me know I slept the whole night again. God I could get used to that. The added bonus was Campbell warm and compliant in my arms. My morning wood rested comfortably along Campbell’s ass. A very cold shower called my name and maybe even a five finger hand shake. My slight movement to put space between Campbell and me had her wiggling her ass, turning my morning wood into a full-fledged hard-on. Fuck. The more I moved the more she wiggled. I groaned when she moaned. She was still fast asleep when I finally made my escape to the bathroom. I turned on the water not waiting for it to warm up as I stepped in and closed the door. “Shit, that’s cold,” I grimaced, fully feeling the effects of the bike crash. Not only did my dick ache, my whole body felt like it had been raked across the coals. I grabbed the soap and lathered my hands.
My cock twitched the closer my hands got to it. It must have not gotten the fucking memo that nothing, and I mean fucking nothing, was going to happen today between it and what I can only imagine as the tightest pussy it would ever see. I grunted in frustration as my cock twitched again at the thought of Campbell’s tight pussy. Fuck, I wanted no needed relief in the form of a petite strawberry blonde. I groaned as I
stroked my cock, willing it to go down. My jerking off was getting old when there was very willing pussy in my bed. Why was I torturing myself with this shit? I was going crazy with a need to have her, to protect her from Crazy Z, from myself, from the heartbreak I was sure I was going to give her by the time this was all done. I was a fucking head case.
I put my forearm on the shower wall as I tightened my grip on my cock, pushing it down as I stroked it. I closed my eyes needing to see my Sunshine, imagining rubbing my tip between her entrance and clit, coating myself in her wet sweetness. Right as I envisioned breaching her entrance, I felt my dick squeezed and stroked by a second, smaller hand.
“Fuck.” I tried stepping away but had no place to go in the shower. Her fist tightened as her second hand cupped my balls. “Cam,” I moaned. “God that feels good.” My hand fell away as my hips thrust into her warm tight hold. I grew wild with need, bucking against the grip on my dick.
“Let go Tank.” The same encouragement I gave her as I brought her to climax. “I got you.” Her hushed words sending me over the edge.
Campbell
And I did, literally, in the palm of my hand. Any anger I held from last night’s rejection vanished as I felt the weight of him in my hand. He was bigger than anything I could have ever imagined. He was so thick I had to add my other hand to fully take care of him. He thrust hard into my hands twice more before cuming all over the wall and my hands. It was so thick and milky. I stared, mesmerized that I could do this to him. I wanted more.
Before I could even ask, Tank had spun around and was on his knees looking up at me. His eyes colored with lust and need. His fingers dipped between my legs spreading me open as he ran his tongue from my entrance to my clitoris. The rough slide of his tongue was like nothing I ever felt before. It was so overwhelming. I whimpered as he went back and forth, back and forth. The sensations he was pulling from my body were things I never felt before. It never felt this intense, this over-the-top.
