By the time that I’m calmed down, I’ve decided that I’m overreacting. A lot of people come to Redding from the city, to get away or whatever. That must have been what he was doing.
I overreacted, again, just like I did when I ran away to Lis and Theo’s in the first place. Absolutely nothing has happened, and even Paxton’s club hasn’t seemed concerned about anything at all. It’s just me being a complete scaredy cat, as usual.
I nod to myself, then go back out on the floor, assuring Lisandro that I’m feeling much better. He eyes me wearily throughout the rest of the day, but he doesn’t say anything else to me.
“I’ll see you Monday morning,” I announce as I grab my purse.
“Next weekend at your place still?” he asks.
I smile, excited to host our first party at our new house. It’s pretty much all set up now, but I still have some things to hang on the walls. We’re going to have a low-key barbeque with Theo and Lisandro, plus all of Paxton’s friends.
“Yeah, Saturday after work until whenever. But you guys are staying with us, right?” I ask.
“Planning on it, sweetie pie,” he laughs with a wink.
“We’ll sip mimosas by the pool Sunday morning,” I squeal.
Lisandro grins and shakes his head, but I can tell he’s really excited, too. I leave work with a wave back at him, and then I head home to Paxton, to this party that he wants me to go to—this party I definitely don’t want to attend.
Four weeks later I find myself looking into a mirror. I suck in my stomach and turn to the side. The mirror doesn’t lie, and the person looking back at me looks sexy, but I don’t feel sexy.
Paxton should be here any minute to pick me up, and I fluff up my hair before I apply more lipstick.
I’m wearing a pair of skin tight black jeans, with rips and tears in the knees. Mary-Anne talked me into buying them. I’ve also got on an off the shoulder, light grey sweater that hits right at my hips and hangs loosely on my body, showing off my shoulder tattoo, but leaving my curves more of an illusion instead of highlighting them.
Stepping into the nude high heels, I fluff up my dark red hair, which seems to stand out even more in the neutral outfit, before I suck in a deep breath and turn my bedroom lights off.
“Clee, baby, you ready?” Paxton calls out as the front door slams.
I step out into the living room and take him in. He’s got his phone in his hand and he looks like he’s texting. He’s wearing a pair of faded blue jeans, a tight black shirt, which hugs his chest, and his, vest, which I learned is called a cut, over his strong body.
Black motorcycle boots, of course, finish his look, and his hair is messed up, probably from his helmet. He shouldn’t be riding his bike in this cold weather, but I’ve been using his car. I really need to get my own. It’s not safe for him to be on his bike.
“I’m ready,” I murmur.
Paxton lifts his head, and I watch as his eyes scan me from head to foot and then back up before they connect with my eyes.
“Sweetheart,” he murmurs.
I press my lips and my legs together at the same time. We haven’t had any rough sex in weeks. Not since he took me to get my nipples pierced. It’s been four weeks, and they’re almost completely healed.
Paxton did exactly what he said he would. He bought me nipple bar piercings with diamonds on each end. They’re sexy as hell, sexier than I thought they would be, and I don’t regret it at all—except that he hasn’t been able to really touch them in weeks.
“Stop lookin’ at me like that or I’m gonna have to fuck you before we go,” he warns.
“That’s a bad thing?” I ask.
Without a word, he stalks up to me, his hands finding purchase on my ass as he pulls me against his chest. I moan as my sensitive nipples press against my lacy bra, and my eyes roll in the back of my head. He doesn’t kiss my lips, probably because he doesn’t want to get my deep berry lipstick on his face, but instead, his lips suck on my earlobe.
“You need me to fuck you?” he rasps against my ear, his hot breath fanning over my skin.
“Pax,” I whimper.
“You’re gonna have to tell me, Clee. What do you want?” he asks.
I don’t say anything. Rather, I unbutton his pants and shove my hand down his boxers, wrapping my fingers around his cock. I stroke him hard and fast a few times before he moans and backs out of my grasp.
“On your knees, sweetheart,” he orders.
I fall to my knees without hesitation, pulling his jeans down on my way. Paxton’s cock juts out toward me, and I can’t stop myself from licking the tip before I swirl my tongue around it.
His hand flies to my hair as he applies pressure to the back of my head, silently urging me to take all of him into my mouth. Then he lets me go, and I look up at him in confusion.
Taking my sweater, he lifts it up over my head with a whoosh before he unclasps my bra within seconds, tugging it down my arms and tossing it behind me to join my sweater that he so casually threw off.
My entire body trembles as he lowers and his fingers gently dance over my nipples, touching the bar piercings on each one before he stands up straight and wraps his hand around the back of my head again.
“Open.”
My mouth falls open and he gently sinks down my throat, his blue eyes staying focused on mine until he’s as far down as I can take him. I breathe through my nose, relaxing my throat as he sinks a little further, and then he grins before he bites his bottom lip.
“My name on your shoulder, my diamonds in your tits, and my ring on your finger as you wrap your red lips around my cock. Most beautiful fuckin’ sight I have ever seen, sweetheart,” he rasps.
I stay still, the way I know that he likes, and he slowly starts to fuck my mouth. His jaw clenches as his eyes continue to roam over me, dancing along my breasts, to my shoulder, and then to my eyes. I’ve never felt so desired and beautiful and sexy all at the same time.
“I’m comin’ down your throat, then tonight I’ll take care of you,” he growls as he picks up his pace, fucking my mouth, his thrusts picking up their pace. I whimper, so turned on that the thought of waiting until later this evening feels almost agonizing.
“Fuck,” he hisses.
His cock grows larger in my mouth as his hips buck, and then he buries himself all the way down my throat and comes on a long moan. He doesn’t stay buried for long. He quickly pulls himself out and then moves his hand from the back of my hair to cup my cheek.
“You’re so goddamn beautiful, Clee,” he rasps as his thumb wipes my mouth clean. “Go get yourself put back together and we’ll leave.”
“Paxton, you’re really making me wait?” I ask on a whine.
“Yeah, you’re gonna wait, Cleo. I’ll take care of you,” he practically whispers. I can’t help myself, and I pout. “C’mon, sweetheart,” he chuckles as he moves his hand and holds it out for me to help me up.
“You’re awful.”
“I’m gonna get my wife drunk, and then I’m gonna fuck her until the sun comes up, how’s that sound?” he asks. I sway in my spot.
“Really?” I breathe.
“Really, sweetheart,” he laughs lightly as he lowers his head and places a kiss on each of my nipples. “How they feelin’?”
“Good. They’re practically healed,” I whisper.
“I’ll play a little tonight, but I’ll make sure I’m gentle,” he murmurs. I bite my bottom lip trying to keep from begging for his touch, for more of him, for all of him right now. “Run now, baby.”
I turn away from him and grab my bra and sweater as I make my way back to the bathroom. After I slip on my clothes, my eyes widen at the sight of my face.
I’m flush, and my hair a little wilder than before, which is all super sexy, but my lips are smeared. I hurry and fix myself before I shuffle out of the bathroom and back to Paxton.
“Ready now?” he asks, lifting a brow.
“Ready,” I mumble solemnly.
; “Hey,” he calls as he wraps his arm around my waist to stall me. I look up at him, still pouting like a child. “You’ll have fun, and we’ll end the night in bed, naked.”
“Okay,” I shrug.
“What do I have to do to make my girl smile?” he asks with a grin.
“Make me come?” I ask lifting a brow.
“Sweetheart,” he groans as his hand smacks my ass. “Later. Swear it, babe.”
I huff out an exasperated breath, overly exaggerated of course, and walk toward his car. I wait for him to open the door, something he schooled me on a few weeks ago. Apparently, my husband is a gentleman, a biker gentleman.
TORCH
The air around the clubhouse is charged. Everyone is celebrating, but only the brothers know why. Tonight, four major players of The Cartel were brought down in New York by our friends in the Russian Bratva.
MadDog’s contact down south, Kirill, told him of the plan, and tonight it was to be executed. It’s a reason to celebrate as much as it’s a reason to ramp up our vigilance. There could be blowback, but we’re all fairly certain it won’t be toward us.
“You want a beer or something else?” I whisper against Cleo’s temple.
“Something stronger,” she announces.
I look down at her in surprise. Cleo usually drinks a fancy vanilla beer at night, or a glass of white wine. Since we’ve been together, I’ve never actually seen her consume anything harder, even twelve years ago. She’s staring at something, and I turn to follow her line of sight and groan.
Honey is dancing on one of the tables, her top off, wearing a pair of high heels and a g-string.
“You gotta ignore that shit, sweetheart,” I murmur against her ear before I start to walk us toward the bar.
“That trainwreck is impossible to ignore,” she says. It makes me laugh.
“Tequila, two glasses,” I call out to the prospect behind the bar before I turn to her. “She’s just doin’ her job. And she’s on the complete opposite side of the room.”
“Has she hit on you at all since we’ve been together, since we moved out of here?”
I grab the bottle of tequila and the two glasses with one hand before wrapping my other hand around hers and tugging her toward the group of Old Ladies that I know she’s become friendly with, hoping to end this conversation.
“Paxton,” she calls out. I stop, turning to face her.
“Yeah, sweetheart, she has. I turned her down, so I didn’t bother mentioning it. It wasn’t worth it. She’s not worth it,” I inform her before I turn around, dropping her hand and walking away, hoping she’ll follow me.
I’m not wrong, and I can feel her tits pressing against my back a few seconds later. Then we’re with our friends.
I drop the bottle of tequila on the table and fill my shot glass before I down it in one swallow. I watch in surprise as she does the same. I wait for her to cough, but she doesn’t. Instead, she grins.
“You’re fuckin’ crazy,” I mumble as I wrap my hand around her hip and tug her closer to me.
“I could list all the things you are, but I won’t,” she mutters as she fills both of our glasses again.
“Damn right you won’t, not if you want to come later,” I whisper against her tatted shoulder before placing a kiss there. She stomps her foot, and I can’t stop the smile from appearing on my lips.
“Are you all moved in?” Mary-Anne asks, looking between us. I watch as MadDog wraps his arm around her waist and places his hand on her small, round baby bump.
“Yeah, the rest of our furniture was delivered a couple days ago. I think we have everything we need now,” Cleo says, nodding her head.
“Better have it all, as much as all that shit cost me,” I grunt.
MadDog grins and shakes his head once.
“Brother, just wait until you add kids,” he chuckles. “Better not even ask the price, just hand over the cash.”
“Max,” Mary-Anne hisses as she turns her head to look up at him.
“Sweetness, we’re buyin’ shit I’ve never even heard of before. Pretty sure Pierce didn’t have half of the shit this new baby’s got,” he grunts.
“We can just take it all back and put the baby in a dresser drawer in our room, I guess,” she says. I look down at my boots, trying not to laugh.
A few seconds of silence has me looking up to them, and I see that Pres is whispering into his woman’s ear as his hand rubs her belly. I then watch as a lazy smile appears on her face. I squeeze Cleo’s hip and look down at her.
“You good, sweetheart?” I ask.
“Yeah,” she whispers, looking up at me, her dark lips plump and inviting.
I reach beside us and hand her her full shot glass before I take my own. Once we clink glasses together, we down it.
“I’m gonna need that whole bottle,” Ivy says as she walks up behind us.
“What’s wrong?” Cleo asks her as Camo laughs, grabbing a handful of his woman’s ass.
“My brother is fucking that Serina girl again. It’s so gross,” she says as she gags a little.
We all look over to where the brothers are getting wild with the whores. Sure enough, there’s Grease, Ivy’s brother, with Serina bent over the pool table.
It looks like he’s fucking her in the ass, which would seem par for the course. That bitch absolutely loves taking it up the ass.
We spend the rest of the evening drinking, talking, laughing and just having a good time. Pres and Mary-Anne leave first, Mary growing tired quickly from her pregnancy. But then the rest of us continue on the evening, and I can tell that Cleo is having fun.
I press my lips behind her ear before she giggles at something that Ivy says, and Colleen rolls her eyes, curling closer to Texas’ side.
“Ready for bed, sweetheart,” I whisper.
“Really?” she breathes before she turns around and smiles up at me lazily.
“Yeah, really,” I grind out, clinching my jaw together, trying to keep from fucking her right here in front of everyone. She looks so goddamn sweet.
“Bye everyone,” Cleo calls out with a wave, wrapping her hand around mine and hurrying toward my room.
I laugh the entire time. I also watch her ass in her tight jeans, knowing that I’m going to be fucking her in just a matter of minutes.
This fucking crazy woman.
Goddamn.
I love her.
Chapter Twenty-One
CLEO
I can’t wait to have Paxton’s fingers on my bare skin. As soon as I walk into his bedroom, I’m stripping off my sweater and unhooking my bra, flinging both somewhere across the room. Then I kick off my high heels and unbutton my jeans before I turn around to face him.
“Keep goin’,” he chuckles.
I shimmy my tight jeans down my legs and kick them off before I discard my panties, leaving a tornado effect with all my clothes, but I don’t care.
“Paxton,” I breathe. “Touch me, please,” I beg.
“What if I want to watch?” he asks, arching a brow as he slowly starts to take his clothes off.
His cut is first. He folds it neatly, placing it on the top of his dresser before he strips his shirt off and tosses it onto the floor to join my discarded clothing.
“I need you,” I shamelessly beg.
I lick my bottom lip as he steps out of his boots and drops his pants to the floor, walking out of them and making his way toward me in nothing but his boxer briefs.
I place my hands on his hips when he’s close enough for me to touch, pulling the waist of his boxers down and letting them fall as my eyes stay connected to his cool blue ones. He looks down and chuckles before his eyes meet mine again.
“That pretty lipstick’s still on my cock,” he grins. “Fuck, you looked so goddamn pretty on your knees earlier tonight,” he whispers before he dips his head and his lips brush mine. “But now, it’s my turn. Be a good girl and get on your hands and knees on the bed for me, sweetheart.”
My entire body s
hivers before I turn around and crawl onto the bed, spreading my thighs and bending over for him. I have no shame tonight. I’m so turned on, I could scream. I let out a gasp when I feel his tongue slide through my center before it swirls around my ass and back.
“Paxton,” I moan, pushing my hips closer toward him.
He chuckles, “you like that?”
“Baby,” I murmur when he does it again.
“I like it when you call me baby,” he murmurs before his tongue flicks my clit from behind me.
I feel his thumb press against my back entrance while his tongue continues to bring me more pleasure than I’ve ever felt by anyone’s mouth before. I don’t know if I’m feeling differently because I’m completely drunk, or if he’s really that good tonight—not that he isn’t phenomenal every single night.
“Shit,” I hiss as I push back against his thumb and his tongue, letting both fill me with pleasure, simultaneously.
I come on a whimper, and I try to crawl away from him. The sensitivity is too much for me to handle, but his hand clamps around my waist, holding me still while he continues to eat me through my shaking orgasm. I collapse on the bed and he places a kiss on my ass, removing his thumb from my entrance as he crawls up behind me.
“I’m gonna fuck your ass one of these days, Clee,” he whispers against my shoulder as his teeth sink into my tattoo.
“Paxton, stop torturing me,” I whimper, completely out of my mind.
“Not when you’re drunk,” he chuckles. “Now, you’re gonna ride me.”
“I’m so tired,” I hum. Then I yelp when I feel a sting against my ass from his hand.
“Nope, it’s time to ride my cock, sweetheart. Cover all that lipstick you left behind with your cum,” he grins.
I exhale before I say, “you’re gross.”
“That why your nipples went rock hard as soon as I said it?” he asks, arching a brow. “Climb on up, sweetheart,” he rumbles. I don’t even pretend that I’m not turned on.
