My eyes scan the trailer. Everything is in order. Whoever killed Paul knew him. Axel’s probably right about Benny.
I nod. “Put James someplace where he can get some care. I’ll pay for it.”
I jump down the steps, slamming the door after Axel. With the window broken, he’ll be found soon. We need to haul ass.
He grins at me, his head shaking, a big-ass stupid smile across his face.
“What?” I snap.
“Nothing. You’re full of surprises tonight. First claiming Eve. Now I’m getting James Smith care. You sure you didn’t taste that pussy a couple years ago?”
“Fuck you.” Not bothering to say more, I jerk a screaming Eve into my arms and give her a hard shake. Her head snaps back and our eyes lock.
“You’re an insane maniac. I’ll scream, and then I’ll turn your whole crew in. You… you criminal.” She pants and her eyes sparkle with blue fire. Again, my cock hardens, and if we didn’t need to get the hell out of here, I would have her kneel and shove it down her throat. With all my brothers watching. Because as much as I admire her fire, she needs to learn her place.
“Listen to me, Angel.” I squeeze her bicep tight and she cries out in pain.
“You ever disrespect me or threaten me again, and I’ll take your father out to the desert and shoot him in the head.”
Her big, innocent eyes widen. “What is wrong with you?”
“Nothing is wrong with me. I’m in control and you will either please me or I’ll give you to my club. So instead of hating me, I’d get to loving me. Unless you like ten to fifteen guys fucking you a night.
“That… you don’t really allow that, do you?”
“Sass me again in public and you’ll find out.” Her pale face actually gets paler.
“Blade… I don’t… that is I haven’t… oh God.” She leans in the other direction and pukes in the dirt. It splatters all over since the dirt is dry.
“Goddammit.” I roll my eyes and hold her hair, wondering why I claimed this foul-mouthed gypsy. Sure, she’s the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen, but big deal. Sometimes a warm mouth and hot hole are all a man needs. This woman is trouble. Still I find myself rubbing her back.
She sways as she raises her head, exhaustion and pain stamped all over her pretty face. Suddenly I’m as tired as she is. I’ve been on the road most of the day, and the two weeks I was in Orange County dismantling an MC that claimed they were the Disciples was a fucking mess. Not to mention they had about twenty good men who actually thought they were a part of us. I had to vet and haze them. All I want is a hot shower, a beer, and Crystal’s warm mouth on my cock. Not this wildcat spitting venom and vengeance. Christ, she’d probably try to bite my dick off if I shoved it down her throat. I adjust myself because the visual of Eve’s lips on my rod is hot.
“Just shut up and obey. You don’t have to worry about your father. I’m going to have him put in a place to take care of him. Maybe if you’re a good girl, I’ll take you to visit him.” I dangle the carrot and know I’ve won. Her whole face lights up. She looks at me for a way too brief second like I’m her hero, not scum.
“I… you would get him medical treatment?” Her lips quiver and I almost lean over and capture them.
“Because that’s what he needs.” Her hands reach for me. “With proper care he could live for so much longer.” Her voice is hopeful and so naïve. James is dying, but if it makes Eve chill the fuck out thinking that I’m helping him, I’ll take it.
“Good. So, you’re coming of your own free will?”
She hesitates. “No, I mean I’m doing this for my father. Otherwise being your whore would be the last thing I’d do.”
I chuckle. “Relax. You might like it and I don’t force women. I have plenty more willing to take your place. The last thing I like is a frigid bitch.”
She gasps. “So, if I say no, I don’t have to fuck you?” Her gaze is wary.
I snort as I sit on my bike.
“And no one but you can touch me?” She’s sucking on her puffy bottom lip again and I almost smile as I can hear her thoughts race in her head.
“Nope. You’re mine. I’m the only one who can touch you. That’s why I marked you. Now get the fuck on the back of my bike.”
This time she doesn’t hesitate and wraps her long legs around mine. Her arms snake around my stomach tightly. I wonder if I haven’t made a huge mistake bringing her.
