Don’t You Dare: A Bad Boy MMA Fighter Romance

by Claire St. Rose

  “What was all that, when we came back in?” Ali asked Alejandro as he turned to start washing dishes.

  “Standard stuff. Hurt my friend and I’ll cut off your verga with a dull knife. Blah blah blah. It’s sweet she cares.”

  Ali set about fixing herself another cup of coffee. “You’re not worried?”

  “Should I be?” He met her gaze levelly. “As long as you tell me when I’ve screwed something up—because I will, I’ve never tried doing this long-term thing in my life—and give me a chance to fix it, my dick should be perfectly safe. And I think that’s good for both of us.” He flicked soapy water at her, and she shrieked, protecting her coffee. “You seem to like him, after all.”

  She let the laughter sparkle up into her eyes, and she shrugged. “You did okay, I guess.”

  “Okay!” He flicked water at her again, indignant, and then grabbed for her. She ducked away and ran for the living room. He caught her by the arm and pulled her into his grip. “I’ll show you ‘okay, I guess,’” he said, pressing her lips down to hers.

  She wrapped her arms around his neck, and kissed him back for everything she was worth.

  EPILOGUE

  When I met Alejandro, no one was worried at first. Everyone assumed it was a standard bad boy phase, and I’d get over it. Even my parents, my mother, said not to worry, that eventually I’d find someone better suited for me.

  What they never realized was that Alejandro was perfectly suited to me. To my independent spirit, my lust for life, my crazy joy in sunrises and sunsets. Bobby was perfect for who they wanted me to be—but then, I wasn’t ever going to be that girl anyway, no matter how hard they tried to make me into her.

  When I leave Gran’s ranch, I’m sad, of course, but I know I’ll be back. Sooner or later, Mama will start speaking to me again, and I’ll need a place to stay when I come visit her.

  Sheriff Hennesy left office after a visit from the Attorney General of Texas, according to Cristina. His dirty deeds aren’t public knowledge, but Travis assures me that he will not be in a position of power like that ever again.

  Alejandro and I—there’s no word to describe what we are. I’m not quite his old lady, but he’s more than my boyfriend. I don’t ever want to get married, because I don’t ever want to be tied down like that. He can’t make it home to me every single night. But his clothes are in my bureau, and most nights, I can hear his motorcycle tearing up the road, racing to be with me.

  It’s enough for now.

  Dirty Secrets: Black Horsemen MC

  I’LL TEACH HER TO KEEP HER MOUTH SHUT.

  GLORIA

  I heard something I wasn’t supposed to hear.

  I thought these dirty secrets would be my ticket out of this place.

  But all they’ve gotten me is a one-way trip to a killer’s bed.

  VINNY

  She tried to blackmail me.

  Stupid little girl.

  She’s in far over her head.

  If she doesn’t do as I say…

  I’ll have no choice but to break her.

  Hands Off My Woman: Padre Knights MC

  WHAT IF PROTECTING HER MEANS SENDING HER AWAY?

  I’m an outlaw. She’s an aristocrat.

  We belong in separate worlds.

  But love and lust won’t let our connection fade.

  It’s been ten years since I last had her in my bed.

  And now that I’m back home…

  She’s mine again.

  But it’s a bittersweet reunion.

  A bloody biker war and her scumbag fiancé are threatening to tear us apart.

  I have to make a choice:

  Can I keep her for myself if it means putting her in the line of fire?

  Or do I have to sacrifice our love in order to save her life?

  Hands Off My Wife: Black Cossacks MC

  I’LL ONLY SAY IT ONCE: KEEP YOUR FILTHY HANDS OFF MY WIFE.

  She had no business getting involved with me.

  But now that she’s mine, she’s no one else’s.

  And if anyone – her boss, my enemies – think they can take her from me…

  They are dead. F**king. Wrong.

  She’s the upstairs neighbor, sticking her nose where it didn’t belong.

  I’m a biker king doing whatever I damn well please.

  She thinks she hates me, but she’s wrong.

  She wants me.

  She needs me.

  I just have to make her see it.

  But she’s got no place in this biker life.

  She’s too pure, too innocent.

  So it’s a shame when she throws herself in the middle of the crossfire without even realizing it.

  I used her, I’ll admit it.

  But I did what I had to do.

  And if I had to go back, I’d do it over again.

  Because now that she’s had a taste of the wild side, she’s gonna be hungry for more.

  And I’m just the man to give it to her.

  Over, and over, and over again.

  She’s mine now.

  So everyone else better stay the f**k away.

  Hands Off My Bride: Scarred Angels MC

  LET ME MAKE ONE THING CLEAR: KEEP YOUR F**KING HANDS OFF MY BRIDE.

  She wants to get away from me, but I know one thing for sure:

  I’m never gonna let that happen.

  She belongs to me now.

  I had to claim everything I’ve ever owned in this life.

  Surely, my bride will be no different.

  Whether Dakota wants it or not, soon she’ll come to realize the truth:

  I’ve put my claim on her, and there’s not a damn thing she can do about it.

  It’s my job to keep her safe, not take her to bed.

  But I’ve never been good at following rules.

  In fact, crossing lines is what I do best.

  So I crossed the line between me and her and made the little princess my toy.

  She never expected to love it so much.

  But now that she’s mine, there’s people out to hurt her.

  They think it’s the best way to get to me.

  Little do they know, they’ve woken a sleeping beast.

  Because anyone who touches my bride is getting buried six feet deep.

  Secret Baby at the Altar: Blood Brothers MC

  WE GOT AWAY FROM HIM ONCE. THIS TIME, WE WON’T BE SO LUCKY.

  Because my baby’s father is back to claim what’s his:

  Us.

  Five years in prison is enough to change anybody.

  And Kane has certainly changed.

  He’s darker than he was before.

  Bigger.

  Scarier.

  But the hunger that drove him to take me in the first place… that hasn’t changed one bit.

  He took the fall for me when I needed it.

  But now that he’s returned, he wants to take back everything he once owned.

  That includes me.

  And once he finds out about our baby…

  He’s going to drag me to the altar so I can never escape again.

  The sickest part of it all is…

  That I’m helpless to say no.

  Daddy at the Altar: Iron Claws MC

  I SWORE OFF WOMEN LONG AGO. BUT IT MIGHT BE TIME TO BREAK MY PROMISE.

  Because I haven’t felt hunger like this since my first love died.

  Ariana might look untouched and innocent…

  But by the time I’ll done, she’ll be utterly wrecked. Thoroughly ruined.

  And pregnant with my baby.

  Years ago, as I put the dirt on the coffin of my dead old lady, I made myself a promise:

  Never again.

  I’d kept that oath in
the years since.

  No emotions.

  Nothing permanent.

  One. Night. Only.

  But that was before Ariana waltzed into my life.

  She might hate me – but I just don’t give a damn.

  Because she’s everything I’ve always wanted.

  And I’m not gonna rest until I have her.

  Not just for a taste.

  Not just for a night.

  No, this one needs to be long, slow, and special.

  I want to savor breaking her down.

  Because once she’s putty in my hands, I’m going to drag her to the altar.

  I don’t just want a woman.

  I want a wife.

  A baby.

  A future.

  And she’s going to give me all of that…

  Or else.

  Pregnant at the Altar: Immortal Souls MC

  HE WANTS MY BODY, MY WOMB, AND HIS RING ON MY FINGER.

  Hammer is just looking for someone to nail.

  That much is obvious.

  But what I didn’t know is everything else he wants:

  Like a wife and a baby.

  I’m the newest cop on the force.

  Being a female in uniform means everyone is trying to get a piece of me.

  I fend them all of, no sweat...

  Until Hammer.

  He’s an ex-soldier, a fighter, a biker...

  Bad news all around.

  I know i should stay away.

  But when he offers to show me how to handle my body, I can’t say no.

  Needless to say, our lessons didn’t stop on wrestling mat.

  He took me to his bed and taught me a few more things.

  And God, I loved it.

  But this is all happening too fast.

  I’m a cop – the last place I belong is in a biker’s bed.

  Especially one in the middle of a complex web of crime and lies.

  Falling for Hammer might cost me everything.

  I just hope I can pay the price.

  Bent at the Altar: Broken Lions MC

  I’LL DRAG HER TO THE ALTAR AND BEND HER OVER RIGHT THERE.

  The pretty doctor never asked for me to enter her life.

  But fate brought me here.

  And I’ve laid down my claim.

  This one is mine now.

  She can blame my brother for all this, if she wants to.

  He’s the one who got poisoned and ended up half-dead on her operating table.

  That’s where it all started.

  But once I got a glimpse of her sexy body in that lab coat, I knew exactly how it was going to end.

  With the doctor bent over and my ring on her finger.

  She saved my brother, so I have to thank her properly.

  And I’ve got a couple filthy ideas in mind.

  But it’s not all fun and games with me.

  It’s a dangerous world.

  And I’m a dangerous man.

  She’s gonna have to trust me if she wants to stay alive.

  But I can make one promise I’ll never, ever break:

  As long as you’re mine, baby…

  No one is gonna lay a damn finger on you.

  Because I’ll kill any man who touches my wife.

  Biker’s Gift: Chrome Kings MC

  HE GAVE ME A BABY AND LEFT ME ALONE. UNTIL NOW.

  The biker gave me a gift: his baby in my belly.

  Then he left me to raise her myself.

  But just when there’s finally hope for my daughter’s future…

  Gabriel comes storming back into town.

  It was a night to remember.

  The biker’s mouth…

  Hot and persistent…

  Taking me higher and higher than I ever thought possible.

  But just as suddenly as it started…

  He was gone.

  Not all of him, though.

  He left something behind.

  Something small.

  Something precious.

  His baby in my belly.

  It’s been years since then.

  I have a life now – it’s me and my little girl against the world.

  I work hard to provide for us, but she’s worth every second.

  Someday, I’ll get her out of this place.

  At least, that’s what I used to think.

  But when Gabriel rides back into town, all bets are off.

  Because when he learns he has a daughter…

  He’ll do whatever it takes to stake his claim to her.

  And to me, too.

  Try as I might, there’s no stopping him.

  The bad boy always gets what he wants.

  Biker’s Child: The Saint’s Disciples MC

  I’M GONNA PUT A BABY IN MY DAUGHTER’S TEACHER.

  Single dad biker? I’m one of a kind.

  My daughter Opal is my whole world.

  And if her spitfire teacher thinks she’s going to come between me and my baby girl…

  I’m gonna have to teach her a lesson or two.

  I didn’t ask for a daughter.

  But as long as she’s my responsibility, I’m gonna be the best damn dad I can be.

  That means teaching my baby girl everything I know.

  How to ride a bike.

  Throw a punch.

  She ain’t gonna be a damsel in distress.

  Not on my watch.

  But her teacher seems to have an issue with my parenting style.

  And when she gets in my face to tell me how to raise my daughter…

  It ignites something in me.

  It won’t be enough to yell back.

  No, I need to break this woman down.

  I’m going to take her.

  Own her.

  And when it’s all said and done…

  I’m gonna put my baby in her belly.

  Biker Daddy: The Chain Gang MC

  The biker wanted me raw and ready.

  Some mistakes haunt you for life.

  I let the biker have me exactly how he wanted – wild, reckless, and raw.

  Then he left me in his dust, just like everyone said he would.

  But he also left a baby in my belly.

  It was a mistake to sleep with him.

  But God, not many mistakes feel that good.

  My knees still quiver at the memory.

  His body – chiseled, inked.

  His hands – aggressive, strong.

  His words – filthier and more dominant than I ever thought possible.

  He had me every way he could.

  And then he left me alone.

  Well, not quite alone.

  There was also the matter of the baby.

  It’s been a year, and I’ve tried to forget about him.

  He’s not coming back – or so I thought.

  But when Jackdaw hears he has a son, he comes roaring back in town.

  He’s coming to claim what’s his.

  My body.

  My soul.

  And our child.

  Reckless: The Hangman’s Crows MC

  I LIVED MY LIFE INSIDE THE LINES… UNTIL HE CAME ALONG AND WRECKED IT.

  Strict. Careful. Safe.

  That’s how I lived my life.

  But then Micah came crashing in…

  And showed me how to be a bad girl for him.

  I was raised to obey authority, not to question it.

  So when Micah said he wanted to make me his…

  I didn’t know how to say no.

  Not that I wanted to.

  He was six and a half feet of muscle, tats, and a bad attitude.

  And God, he drove me crazy.

  I’d never met anyone quite like him before.

  Never encountered a man who could make me feel so many different things.

  Passion, anger, panty-melting desire…

  He knew how to press every button.

  But everything in this world has consequences.

  And if I want to be with the
bad boy, I’ll have to pay the price:

  With everything I’ve ever loved.

  Saul: The Pagans MC
