“No, man,” Cove growls. “Go get the keys from Nees. We’ll take Copper’s truck.”
I straddle my bike and scowl at him. “Don’t make me force you.”
Rage burns in his blue eyes that seem to glow in the moonlight. Rather than attempting to punch me like I can tell he’s itching to do, he clumsily climbs onto the back. I turn the engine over, getting a thrill at the power that rumbles beneath me. The smirk on my face fades when Cove wraps his arms around me.
“Don’t wreck,” he bites out over the sound of the engine.
I gun it out of the parking lot, spraying gravel behind us. His arms tighten around me and his thighs squeeze me. And damn if my dick doesn’t perk up again.
After years of being broken, I try not to let hope trickle in and make me feel human again. I won’t feel human until Night Giant’s blood is all over my hands as I steal his last breath.
Cove
Why does he have to smell so good?
It’s not fair. I’m not even twenty yet and have the world at my fingertips. I could choose any guy to fuck around with. But my dick doesn’t want just any guy. It wants him.
Dragon.
The fact I have my arms around him and sitting on the back of his bike like I’m his bitch has me seeing red again. How can my body be so equally torn? My dick wants to play and my brain is screaming warnings at me.
Dragon is a monster.
I’ve seen what he can do. Hell, he almost did it to me, too.
A shiver ripples down my spine, forcing me to burrow my face against Dragon’s solid back to ward off the chill. His scent is leathery from his cut and maybe even a hint of cigarette smoke. Just like any biker.
Lies.
Beneath that he smells like sex and sin and something so uniquely him that it maddens me.
Fire.
He smells like fire.
I try to think of anything else besides his scent, but it’s invading me against my will. Infecting my every cell. Sinking into my every pore. I’m intoxicated by him.
I’m an idiot.
Always had a soft spot for danger.
Calla, my sweet twin, always seemed to have the sixth sense I was missing. Since Stormy was a Fed, I’d say she has it too. But me? It’s like I’m called to it. The danger is a pulse only my ears can hear, luring me toward it like a siren to the sea.
By the time we reach the motel, my dick is painfully hard in my jeans. I’m sure Dragon is well aware of that fact since I’ve been pressed up against him this whole time. It annoys me further that he’s probably smug over it too.
He kills the engine and climbs off. Smooth and coordinated and deadly. Not unlike how he stalked me that night, his green eyes ablaze with intent to attack, destroy, kill. I fumble my way off the bike, nearly tipping it over in the process. Cursing, I steady it before meeting his penetrating stare.
Amusement.
If I’ve learned anything since I came to be a part of the RBMC, it’s that Dragon is a different breed than what he was at the hotel. Still dark and dangerous and fucking crazy, but also more human. Everyone but Katana and Stormy give him a wide berth, respecting the fact he could snap at any second.
I’ve seen the snap.
Been the prey during the snap.
His amusement is just a layer hiding the fire-breathing dragon he is beneath. I can see him for what he is. An enemy.
Dragon unlocks the motel room where we’d tossed our bags earlier—two queen beds—and walks inside. I follow him, the hairs on my arms standing at attention. Being alone with him makes me nervous.
“Go to bed, Baby Prospect.”
With his back to me, he whips off his cut, tossing it on the desk chair. Then he grabs the back of his shirt just below his neck and pulls it off. My traitorous eyes drink in the inked up, muscular skin as it’s revealed to me. His black jeans hang low on his hips, giving me a peek of the sexiest back dimples at the base of his spine.
Fuck.
He tosses his shirt onto the bed before disappearing into the bathroom. As soon as the shower starts, I groan just thinking about him soapy and naked. This is torture. Finding your nemesis hot is a punishment fit for some circle of hell.
Quickly, I strip down to my boxers and slide beneath the stiff sheets that smell like cheap laundry soap. Because I’m a greedy bastard, I snag Dragon’s abandoned shirt, bringing it to my nose.
God.
Why must he smell so fucking good?
With my nose buried in his shirt, I rub my dick over my boxers. My wicked mind conjures up the soapy shower image with no problem. I imagine him stroking his thickness in time with the way I rub at my own dick.
