Angel's Halo (Angel's Halo MC 1)

“Please.” I think I whisper the plea, but suddenly he’s pulling off the main road onto a secluded path that leads into the woods. My heart’s racing even faster, and my breath comes in little pants that tell him how needy I am without my having just begged.

Bash wastes little time once we’re away from the main road. He turns the bike off and toes down the kickstand. Then he offers me a hand to assist me before getting off himself. His hold on my hand tightens when I try to step away to put some space between us so I can think clearly once more.

He doesn’t give me that chance. Pulling me against his rock hard chest, he releases my hand and grips my ass in both of his big hands. Bash lifts me until my core is right over his erection. I’m unable to contain the pleasure filled moan that escapes me. I press my forehead against his chest as the trembling begins. I shake like a junkie needing their next fix.

Bash has always been my drug of choice.

“I want you so fucking much, Raven.” He growls, rubbing me against his throbbing hard-on. “No matter what, this has always been our best way of communicating. I was always able to show you how much you mean to me when I’m deep inside of you.”

“That won’t solve our problems now,” I whisper even as I grind myself against him, seeking any relief he can give for this ache that’s starting to consume me. “It won’t make them disappear.”

“I know. I know.” Bash buries his face in my neck, his tongue sneaking out to taste me. “We can deal with all of that later. Right now I want inside of you, Raven.”

I catch his hair in my hands and pull his head back to force him to meet my gaze. It’s nearly pitch black here in the woods but the half-moon shines down on us, and I see his face, his eyes. “You tell me right now. Swear to me on the club that there hasn’t been anyone else since us.”

“I swear it, Raven. On the club, on my life. On yours. I swear on everything I love that I haven’t had sex with anyone since before the night you stitched up my arm. Not Willa, no one.” Silver-blue eyes are on fire with desire, blazing with a need as strong as my own. “You are the only fucking female I want. Do you hear me, Raven?”

The only answer I can give him is to press my lips hard against his own. Bash must be satisfied with that response because his hands start pulling off my clothes. I don’t try to help, knowing that I will only hinder him. Instead, I get lost in his taste, in the feel of his hands over every part of my body.

I barely register the sound of his zipper lowering, don’t even notice when he moves me to the damp ground. I’m still kissing him when he thrusts into me. I release his hair to rake my nails down his back, knowing that it will only drive him insane with desperate need. I’m rewarded with a growl and a hard thrust deep inside of my body.

My legs wrap around his waist, and I meet him thrust for thrust, taking him as deep as humanly possible. “Yes, Bash. Yes!” I cry, feeling my inner walls starting to contract all too soon. “Bash I…” I shake my head “…I’m coming.”

“Good,” he growls, biting into my shoulder making me clench even harder around his engorged cock. “Let me feel it, Raven. Let me feel you coming for me. I love how wet you are, baby, how much wetter you’ll be when you let yourself go.”

My nails stab into the muscles of his back, sinking deeper with each thrust that takes me closer to the edge. I shatter, convulsing with my release. I don’t hear the roar that comes from Bash as I take him with me, don’t hear him curse as he empties deep inside of me without a condom for the first time ever. I’m blind, deaf, and mute as the pleasure pushes me over and I float out of my own body for a moment.

“Raven?” Bash brushes a kiss over my sweaty forehead. “Open your eyes. Baby, did I hurt you?”

I blink my eyes reluctantly. “Can’t we sleep here?” I whisper sleepily.

He grins. “Maybe next time. Let’s go home and sleep in our own bed, baby.”

“Um, are you planning on tossing Willa out of my bed?” I haven’t forgotten that the other female is in my room now.

“Flick has been sharing news I see.” Bash kisses my lips quick and hard before pulling away. “Yes, Willa and Lexa are sharing your room. But we have our own bed, Raven. The master bedroom is ours, courtesy of your brothers.”

I blink, not sure I hear him correctly. “My brothers are letting us have my parents’ room?”

“I might have persuaded them that it was in everyone’s best interest to let me have my way.” He rolls onto his back, stuffing his still half-hard dick back into his jeans before zipping them up. “It’s the best solution I could come up with until I find us a house, baby.”

“Who do you mean when you say we?” I demand, rolling onto my side to watch him, not caring that I’m completely naked or that the grass is cold and damp. If it doesn’t include me, I can’t be responsible for punching him in the balls.

“Considering how our long overdue talk goes? Lexa, Willa, me … and you.”

I sit up, reaching for my T-shirt and jerking it over my head. “Take me home, Bash,” I tell him as I stand and pull on my jeans. I can’t see my panties anywhere, but I’m not worried about them.

“What?” Bash demands as he sits up but makes no further move to stand. “What now, Raven?”

Jealousy eats me up inside, and I hate how weak it makes me feel. I comb my fingers through my tangled hair and pull a hair tie from my jeans’ pocket to pull it into a ponytail. “Why Willa?” I ask, finally turning to face him. “Why will she be living with us?”

“Because I promised her I would take care of her.” Bash reaches for me and I hesitate for only a second before I let him pull me down onto his lap. “She’s not like Tasha, Raven. You’ll see that if you give her a chance. Willa has known from day one how I feel about you, and she understands that and respects it. She has only ever wanted to help me with Lexa. That’s it. Nothing more.”

I don’t say anything. How can I take his word on this or anything else? I don’t trust him. Will I ever trust him again? So why am I already considering him a part of my future? Why am I already thinking of Lexa as ours and not just his?

Because I’m an idiot. Because I love him, and by proxy his daughter.
