Neither Black Nor White (Iron Dogz MC, #6)

by René Van Dalen

  “He’s a big flirt.” A woman’s voice sounded from above me and I looked up. It was the woman I had seen with Scar earlier.

  I rubbed my hands over the sides of his face and along his neck, giving him scratches and soft strokes before I stood.

  “He’s gorgeous.” I complimented the big dog who ignored the rest of the people and ambled off the deck to disappear into the dark.

  “He’s also a pain in my ass. He’s been for walks already tonight but he just won’t settle.” She grinned. “I’m Chris.”

  “Noelle or Face, either one is good.”

  She frowned. “Face? Is that because of your scars?”

  I shrugged. “Ja, it is.”

  She tipped her head to the side and just looked at me. “I think I prefer Noelle.”

  My next words were stolen from me when Kid threw an arm around me and put a beer in my hand.

  “Here you go, baby. I got you another one.” He gave Chris a small smile. “Your pony sized dog seems to like my girl. I like that.”

  The woman looked stunned for a few seconds before she pulled herself together and smiled. “He has impeccable taste. Tall women seem to be a preference of his. Like the two of us.”

  She looked me up and down and nodded to herself. “I would guess that you’re close to six foot when you’re barefoot. Am I right?”

  “Five eleven actually. With my boots on I’m just over six.” I gave a small grin that didn’t pull at the scar so much. “I like being tall.”

  “Me too. It’s a pain in the ass growing up when you’re taller than most guys, but it all evens out in the end.”

  “I was always tall, even as a little kid. My sister is tiny compared to me.”

  Her nose wrinkles. “My sister is tall like me but she’s a skank. How’s yours?”

  “The most awesome older sister a girl could ever hope to have. She’s married to an amazing man and they have two little ones.”

  “You’re lucky to have her.”

  Kids arm curved around my neck and pulled me close. “You two finished yakking? I want to introduce Noelle to some of my brothers before they’re too drunk.” He glanced around. “I hope the crash room is ready because I see quite a few who won’t be riding tonight.”

  Chris laughed and nodded. “Yes, we prepared them yesterday already. We knew with the band coming out the boys would be letting loose. Scar and Wolf are on it, no worries.”

  “Good, sweetheart, I don’t want my boys riding drunk. Not ready to lose another brother.” He rubbed the side of his face against my temple before pointing towards the stairs. “Brutus is on his way up and he’s not liking that drunk asshole over there.”

  “Oh shit. Nice to have met you, Noelle. I hope to see more of you around here. Enjoy the rest of your night.”

  With that she rushed to the stairs to save the drunken ass from getting his face ripped off.

  “Come, Noe, let’s circulate so I can introduce you to my brothers.”

  And that’s what we did. We moved around the pub and he introduced me to several men. If they had an old lady I was introduced to the old lady, if they were with a party girl no introductions were made.

  It was so weird, they stood right there but they might as well have been ghosts.

  Eventually we ended up back at our table where Cuba and Rock were having an angry staring contest.

  Those two were going to give me grey hairs. I just knew it.

  For the rest of the night Kid sat next to me, his arm across the back of my chair, his fingers drawing slow patterns over my back and shoulder.

  Damn. It felt so good. Such a pity it was all for show.

  It was one in the morning when we called it a night and Kid walked out to the car with me. I had been drinking water for hours and had used the breathalyser at the front desk to check that I was safe to drive. Three beers over several hours and a lot of water put me firmly in the safe zone.

  He opened the car door but stopped me when I was about to slide into the seat. Pulling me into his chest he stared down at me, his eyes taking in my features and settling on my lips. His big hand cupped my jaw and he gently smoothed his thumb over the scar that cut through my lips. Dipping his head his eyes held onto mine, pulling me under with a rough whisper.

  “Going to take this luscious mouth and own it, Noe.”

  His lips touched mine and at first the kiss was soft, his tongue sweeping along my top and then bottom lip before gently pushing inside. It stroked along mine like silk sliding over skin before curling around my tongue and pulling it into his mouth. He sucked hard and the kiss changed, became hard as he virtually fucked my mouth with his tongue. Taking my mouth deep and hard, my lips pushed against my teeth as we battled each other. He softened the kiss and played inside my mouth, chasing my tongue and curling the tip of his to play with mine. Slowly he retreated, sucking first my top lip and then the bottom into his mouth and then bit down, slowly, giving me time to stop him. I didn’t. I enjoyed the bite of pain that would leave my lip throbbing and slightly swollen.

  His eyes were shooting grey-blue lusty rays at me as he withdrew his mouth from mine. But not by much. His breath whispered over my kiss-wet lips.

  “My baby likes pain.”

  I gave a small nod because it was the truth.

  He pushed his hips into mine and I widened my legs, letting his hard cock rub against my clit piercing and gently rocked my hips against him. Claiming his lips for another kiss I whispered against them. “Stop rubbing against my piercing, not fair.”

  His breath rolled out on a slow groan. “Fuuuuck.”

  With one last swipe over his lips I stepped back, quickly slid into the car and fixed the seatbelt while he stood watching in the still open door. His big hard cock clearly outlined beneath his faded blue jeans. My breath hitched when his big hand moved his cock into a more comfortable position and he crouched in the open car door.

  “Tomorrow. I’ll pick you up. I want to take you to one of my favourite places.”

  Looking at him I held my hand out towards my girl in the passenger seat, and Cuba put the card we had prepared for this exact reason in my hand. I gave it to him. He took it and slid it into the inside pocket of his kutte.

  “Ten, be ready to ride, baby.” He leant in and kissed me, quick and soft. “I’ll bring an extra helmet.”

  “No need, I’ve got my own.” I whispered and he grinned, and that grin, that grin changed his face completely and it threw me right under the wheels of the runaway bus that was this, whatever this was.

  Then he stood, closed the car door and walked away. He didn’t hang around to watch me leave. I was a bit rattled at first but when my girls started teasing I quickly got us out of there.

  So much had happened tonight and later we were going to sit down and discuss it. But not now.

  My girls and I had been watching over each other all night and I had noticed that Mads had made an impression on one of the badasses. He hadn’t left her side all night and he had walked her out to the car. They had had a whispered conversation before he gave her a quick kiss and went back inside.

  Her kiss had been nothing like the one Kid had planted on me.

  I wondered idly if it had meant anything or if it was just part of the game we were playing.

  CHAPTER TWENTY

  Kid

  He saw her the minute she walked out onto the deck.

  She stood out like a shining beacon amongst the other women. Not only because she was fucking tall and beautiful, there was something about her that drew your eyes. It had to be the aura of power that surrounded her.

  Tonight she looked nothing like the woman he had met in Cape Town. Apparently that woman had been the badass, this one was the siren. A siren who was tempting him to do bad things to her.

  Her jeans were tight and hung low on her hips, showing off her toned lower stomach and tattooed hips. He wanted to pull her pants down and inspect those tattoos but it was the glittering piercing in her belly button that had
him salivating. He wondered if she had more piercings. Maybe in her nipples or even her pussy. Fuck, if she had a piercing in her pussy he wanted to curl his tongue around it and play. If she didn’t then they would get it taken care of.

  The thought had him suck in a breath and try to calm down. She wasn’t his and he had to remember it. He didn’t need complications once the job was done and he walked away. He didn’t have the time or patience to expend on a woman.

  He listened with half-an-ear to the brothers around him and ignored the women completely. They were party girls and none of them were going to get a piece of him. There was only one woman he wanted on his cock and she was a damned job. He was fucked, so totally fucked.

  Unless.

  What if they had a little fun while working the job? What if she was on board with a little fucking while they took care of their syndicate problem? They had two weeks before she had to be back in Cape Town, just enough time to fuck her out of his system. It would be perfect.

  He gave her time to settle in with her girls but he never lost sight of her. Kept his eyes on her all the time.

  When she went inside he watched from a dark corner and followed when she walked out again. As arranged Jinx was at their table and Kid made his way over as soon as they started chatting.

  From there on it was easy to stake his claim in front of his brothers and the brothers from other clubs. He had seen several who had watched her with hungry eyes. Not going to happen. She was his.

  For now. Only for now.

  Walking her out and kissing her hadn’t been part of the plan but he couldn’t resist that mouth. And when she moaned when he bit her? His cock became a steel pole in his pants. It was as natural as breathing to rub against her. Her whispered tease almost had him coming like a school boy who was rubbing his cock against his first pussy.

  She was fucking pierced and his very own wet dream.

  It sealed her fate. He was going to fuck her until both of them couldn’t breathe and then he was going to do it over and over again. And once he was done he would walk away, satiated and with the siren fucked out of his system.

  He had to turn around and walk away after the kiss otherwise he would have dragged her out of the car, thrown her down on the bonnet and fucked her hard and raw. Put on a show for anyone who wanted to watch as he owned her pussy.

  As he walked away the kiss played over and over in his head. She liked a bite of pain and she was pierced. Would she be into the kind of play he liked? Not only liked but needed.

  He fucking hoped so because then she would be the perfect woman for him.

  Strong enough to take him on and hopefully into a bit of pain with her sex.

  Shaking his thoughts off he went looking for Rock to tell him he was leaving. His brother was hanging out with Spider and wanted to stay, so after taking his leave he grabbed his shit from the lockers at the entrance to the pub and left.

  Tomorrow would be an important day for him...and for her.

  Noelle. Never Face, she was Noe to him. His Noe.

  Fuck. This was not going to end well. He just knew it.

  But he also knew he didn’t care. He hadn’t been this turned on and intrigued by a woman ever. Not even the submissive he had been playing with exclusively for the last few months held his attention the way Noelle did.

  And he knew when whatever this was between them ended he would not return to the submissive. He wouldn’t be able to.

  And the fact that he knew it at this early stage was chilling.

  He was fucked whichever way he looked at it.

  He slept badly and felt like shit when he got up. A shower and jerking his cock to fantasies of Noelle didn’t help either.

  Nor was he happy to see Hawk at the kitchen table waiting for him.

  “Get some breakfast, brother, then bring your coffee to my office.” His president ordered as he picked up his mug and left the kitchen.

  Shit.

  And as ordered he quickly ate his breakfast then took his coffee to his prez’s office.

  The door stood open but he closed it behind him and sat down across the desk from his best friend.

  “How did it go?”

  “I’m picking her up at ten and taking a ride out to Zeffers.” Kid answered and took a sip of his coffee.

  “Who’s riding with you? You know the rule, no one rides alone.”

  “I know Boss, I thought I’d take Rock, Dizzy and Buzz with me.”

  He nodded. “Good choice. How are things working out between you and your brother?”

  “We’re good. He’s a good man and loyal as fuck to his club. There might be tension between him and his prez right now but at the end of the day he’s a Sinner to his core.”

  “Will their shit have any impact on what we’re trying to accomplish?”

  Kid immediately shook his head. “No, not at all, Prez. It’s family business that he won’t allow to cross over into club business. Rock is solid to the core.”

  “Good to know. And the woman you’re seeing later? What’s your take on her?”

  Shit, how to answer his prez? Honesty, always honesty.

  “Noelle is a certified badass, Prez. You’ll see when I bring her around, anyone fuck with her or her girls she’ll take them down, no hesitation.” Kid thought about it for a minute then laid it out for his prez. “On the other hand I think she’s a bit lost. Finding out her family isn’t who she thought they were had to be fucking hard. I know how I felt so I can imagine what she’s going through. And then there’s what she has to do to get clear of the damned Syndicate. It’s not going to be easy or without pain. We all know it, we’re expecting it. And most of it is going to fall on her shoulders.”

  Hawk pushed his coffee mug away with a frown. “Do you think she’s strong enough to take on Murchison and his goons? I don’t feel comfortable sending a woman out into certain danger.”

  “Wait until you meet her, Prez. You’ll see what I mean when you do. Sometimes she gets this look in her eyes that reminds me of Crow.”

  “Fucking hell, that’s not good news, brother.”

  “I think it is. It means there’s more to her than Murchison knows and it might just protect her from the worst he’ll throw at her. He already fucked up her face, but he had to drug her to do it. She won’t fall for that shit again and this time she’ll be the one doing the cutting.” Kid tried to explain his gut feel about the woman he could not get out of his head.

  Hawk tipped his head back and stared at him, his yellow eyes glinting from between his narrowed eyelids. “Why do I get the feeling that this bitch means more to you than just a job, Kid?”

  Kid shook his head and shrugged. “I can’t give you an answer, Hawk. There’s just something about her that gets to me.”

  And then his president shocked the shit out of him.

  “You think she’ll be into the type of games you like to play with the submissives at your club?”

  “What?”

  Shaking his head Hawk continued as if Kid hadn’t frozen in his chair.

  “You think I don’t know about the BDSM shit? I’ve always known, brother, and I don’t fucking care. You do you, and as long as it doesn’t impact the club I don’t give a fuck. I know you felt you had to keep it from us but you’ll be surprised by how many of the men like their sex a bit on the rough side.” He shrugged one shoulder. “And I include myself in that number.”

  Kid drew in a deep breath to try and explain. “Hawk, I don’t just like rough sex, that’s not it at all. I like pain. I like giving it and receiving it.”

  “So? What’s so bad about that? If your woman is into it as well where’s the harm?” He grinned. “It’s not like you’re running around kidnapping women and keeping them in your dungeon, now is it?”

  He had to grin. “I wouldn’t say no to having my very own dungeon where I can tie my woman up and play.”

  Suddenly Hawk became dead serious. “If you need something like that brother we can make a plan for you. No sw
eat. You know this, right?”

  Throwing his hands up with a laugh he shook his head. “No, Prez, I don’t’ need a dungeon or shit like that. I have the club if I need to blow off some steam.”

  “Right. Fuck. Never thought I’d talk to my best friend about his fucking sex life.” Hawk waved a hand as if to wipe it all away. “Let’s get back to business.”

  Kid waited to see what his boss wanted to talk about.

  “What is your take on Dominick getting involved? Do you think he’s going to go through with the plan or not? His family business is at stake here.”

  At least this Kid could answer with ease.

  “He’s definitely going through with this, Boss. Like I told you when I got home, he wants to take the Syndicate down and reclaim his throne, so to speak. And he needs Noelle to help him do it. I’m not sure, but I feel like those two have been playing a long game with the Syndicate.”

  Tapping on his chin he frowned as he went over everything he had seen and heard while in Cape Town.

  “Yes, I do believe there’s something going on behind the scenes that we’re not aware of.”

  “Then I need you to find out what that is and if there’s any danger to the club.” Hawk was pissed again. “Maybe the engagement is somehow part of that play.”

  “No I don’t think so, I think it’s Dom’s way to protect her and keep her out of Murchison’s clutches. Everyone knows he’s going to try and force her back into Syndicate business and when she refuses he’s going to lash out. Having Dom’s name tied to hers might just protect her from the worst he would want to do to her.”

  It fucking sucked to know the confident and beautiful woman he saw last night was going to get hurt and there was nothing they could do to stop it. They had to let it play out.

  “We both know Dom is fucking ruthless and if it serves his purposes he would let her swing in the breeze.”

  Kid had his arms crossed over his chest as he thought about it and then shook his head.

  “Not this time, Prez. Somehow he’s connected to this woman and protective of her. He’s the one who informed her she’s not Murchison daughter but he kept something back. He did say he would give her more once the shit calms down. I have a theory though.”
