Jaguar.I woke up early, a hangover headache tingling my skull, to the morning sunlight streaming in through my living room window.What the fuck did I do last night? I thought to myself as I sat up.And then it all came rushing back: Veronica showing up, her story, the look on her face, the way my body reacted to seeing her again.The way I claimed her in front of the whole damn club.Damn girl was trouble. I sat up, grunting, and walked into the kitchen. I put on some coffee and leaned up against the counter.The whole thing was fucked. I didn’t much care about the guys that were after her. I’d dealt with plenty of fucking biker cunts in my time, left more than a few blood-stained and splattered on the road under my wheels. I could protect her no problem, and I actually looked forward to it.I wanted another fucking war. I wanted some fight, some excitement to break up the boring as fuck club business. I wasn’t built for peace, never was.I had a reputation in the club, and for good
Jaguar.She lived in a little piece of shit apartment right off the University of Texas’s campus. She lived alone, as far as I could tell, and her place was a fucking mess.“Be fast,” I grunted at her.“Okay.” She disappeared into the back room as I looked around her place. It looked pretty typical: paintings and pictures on the wall, pictures of friends in frames, but none of her father.I hadn’t seen anyone hanging around outside of her place, but that didn’t mean they weren’t watching. I would have been surprised if they had found her so fast, though. Bikers weren’t exactly known for their fucking smarts, and overall that was true. They’d find her eventually, though.I walked over to the front window and peeked outside. Nothing there, just my bike parked against the curb and the slow trickle of young students wandering around.“How much do I need, anyway?” she asked.I turned back and looked at her. She tossed my sweatshirt at me and I grabbed it.“I don’t know,” I said. “A week’s
Veronica.The ride back to the Sandcastles clubhouse wasn’t as relaxing as most other rides on the back of a bike.I was way too busy thinking about what Jaguar had said, and what it all meant.My head was still a bit dizzy and slow, but I was beginning to come back to myself. I realized that I had been in pretty bad shock when I’d stumbled into that clubhouse, and hadn’t been thinking at all. At the time, I’d thought it was the only thing I could do, the only thing that could protect me.Now, though, I wasn’t so sure I had made the right decision. What had I given up to get Jaguar’s protection, and what did that mean for me?As we sped through the city, my hands clinging to Jaguar’s muscular body, I couldn’t stop imagining what he was saying to me. We were somehow together now, although I barely knew the guy. I was definitely still in danger, and he made it seem like by claiming me he was committing himself to keeping me safe.I hadn’t seen Jaguar in so long. As soon as I’d seen him,
Jaguar.Four years ago.Hours after I dropped Veronica off at her place, I could still feel the damn tingle in my cock where she had rubbed herself crazy. We’d made sure her dad was passed out before she went inside, and I’d made her promise to come to my place if things got bad.Otherwise, I had the worst damn blue balls of my fucking life. After getting off like that, she’d collapsed back down onto the bench, and we’d spent the next hour or two talking about our lives.I’d never done that before. Normally, if she were any other slut, I would have bent her over that fucking bench and ravaged her stupid. Instead, I found myself talking about my mom and dad, about her drunk ass, about growing up in a fucked-up home.And she told me her own sob story, which wasn’t too far off from mine. Difference was, I could defend myself, but she never could.I clenched my jaw, pissed as all hell thinking about her dad beating her up like that. The bastard didn’t know what was right or wrong, but he
Veronica.“Sit,” Phoenix said. We were in an office, a pretty normal-looking office all things considered. I sat down in a chair, and he sat down behind the desk.He eyed me quietly for a few minutes, and I shifted in my chair nervously.“Uh,” I said finally, breaking the silence, “thank you. For helping me.”“Don’t thank me,” he said. “Thank Jaguar.”“I did that.”“Good.” He stared at me some more.I’d never been so uncomfortable, so afraid in my whole life. Out of the corner of my eye I noticed a shotgun leaning against the wall, and I wondered how many people it had killed.“What do you know about the Rebel club?” Phoenix asked me finally.“Nothing,” I said. “Rod was a member, but that’s it.”He nodded. “We confirmed that. Your friend, Rod, was a member.”“You talked to them?”“We have phones.” He looked down at his desk. “Cops found his body this morning. Any chance you’ll be connected?”“I don’t know,” I said.“Touch anything? Leave anything behind?”“I touched his bike.”“You we
Jaguar.I watched her walk fast across the room.“Shit,” I muttered to myself. It was pretty obvious what she was about to do.I watch as she opened the door and just booked it out of there, running hard.I got to my feet.“We got a runner!” one of the boys called out.I silenced him with a glare as I went after her.Damn girl is going to be the death of me, I thought as I tore ass after her.She wasn’t exactly fast. I saw her turn a corner up ahead as I quickly hopped on my bike, kicking it into gear. I sped down the alley after her, tearing rubber around the corner.She looked back over her shoulder, determination etched on her face. I revved my engine and followed her. She cut left down another alley.I had to go the long way. I went around the block, running a few red lights on the way, and came around to the other side. Veronica had already come out of the alley and was hauling ass down the street.I quickly sped down along the block, hopping up onto the curb, scaring the shit ou
Veronica.I watched Jaguar walk away, resentment and anger running through my pulse.I knew running away had been stupid. I had known I wasn’t going to get far. But after that conversation with Phoenix, I had just felt so powerless, so pathetic. I was going to marry Jaguar whether I liked it or not, like I was just some piece of cattle.But it was more than that. I knew Jaguar was trying to protect me, but I had no clue why. He had disappeared from my life all those years ago, even though I had been ready to try to give myself to him. Sure, my dad was a cop, but that didn’t seem to really matter.I wanted to show him that I still had control over my own life, that I wasn’t just his piece of property. Yeah, maybe he had claimed me, and maybe that meant something important to his crazy biker friends, but it didn’t mean a damn thing to me.But the image of Rod getting shot kept coming back to me. Every time Jaguar pushed me too far, frustrated me, I remembered Rod’s dead body staring up
Jaguar.We rolled out in formation, heading west of Austin. The Rebels had their clubhouse there, a little piece of shit, hole-in-the-wall bar in the middle of their tiny territory.We’d been on decent terms with the Rebel MC for a few years. Back when we were slowly expanding our territory and eating up the other local clubs, the Rebels had been our only ally in the fight.But since then, the relationship had soured. They had begun competing with us, importing cheap weapons from China and even cheaper drugs from South America. We were doing the same thing, and making way more money, but they were beginning to cut into our bottom line.The only reason they hadn’t been destroyed yet was because they had helped us back in the day. Their current leader was a former member of our own club. He had defected during the war and violently taken over the Rebel leadership. Rumor was that he had backing from Phoenix and the Sandcastles MC, but I didn’t think that was true. From what I knew, Phoen
Jaguar.The desert wind swept through the valley as the Sandcastles MC climbed onto our bikes.There was a roar from the devil himself as we kicked our bikes alive.We rode out in formation.We were the Sandcastles MC. Nobody fucked with us, because we were the biggest and baddest fuckers alive. We took what we wanted.But we also weren’t fucking stupid. We made deals when deals made sense. And right now, everyone knew a deal with the Snakes made sense before we ended up killing each other completely.War wasn’t over, though. The Rebels would get crushed, but somehow I knew our part in all this wasn’t over yet.As we rode back, my mind was firmly on my old lady, on Veronica. She’d be safe now. She’d be safe and we could figure out what the fuck we wanted.Although I knew what I wanted. It was the same thing I’d wanted from the start of everything, from the very moment I saw her come into the damn clubhouse that first crazy night.I wanted to claim her. I wanted to make her mine.I rod
Veronica.Leilani and Mason laughed as I led Jaguar back toward the bathrooms. “Can’t say I’m surprised you want another taste already,” he said, grabbing my hips.I pushed him away. “Stop that. I want to know what happened.”“Nothing, like I said.”“Jaguar. Tell me.”He sighed. “Might as well tell you the truth.”I crossed my arms. “Well?”“So, here’s the deal. We think the Rebels were acting as a middle man for some South American cartel. Just a few minutes ago, I found diamonds hidden inside the heroin, probably meant for the Snakes.”I nodded slowly. “That’s why they wanted that shipment so badly.”“Right. They have millions in that briefcase, and they thought you’d stolen it.”“Shit,” I said. “What’s going to happen?”“The council is deciding whether we’re returning the case or not.”I stared at him. “So basically, if they don’t return the case, it’s going to be war, right?”“All-out war,” he said, frowning. “Who knows if we’ll survive.”I pressed myself against him. “We’ll get t
Veronica.“How’s married life?” Leilani asked me.Mason laughed and drank his beer. I shrugged. “It’s fine,” I said. “Not real, though.”“Real enough I bet,” Mason said. “You guys been fuckin’ like rabbits?”Leilani smacked his arm. “Cut it out, you ape.”“What? I’m just askin’.”I shook my head. “No, of course not.”“Of course not?” Leilani asked. “Okay, whatever you say.”“Not like Jaguar,” Mason grumbled. “Not like him at all.”“What do you mean?”Leilani gave Mason a look. “I already told her.”“You told her that Jaguar is a manwhore?” Mason laughed. “Traitor.”“She needed to know.”“Maybe.” Mason looked at me. “Jaguar’s been in every pussy this half of Austin, maybe the whole city. Who knows?”I nodded, blushing. Thinking about him having sex with another girl made my jealousy flare like crazy, but I didn’t have any real claim over him. “It’s okay,” I said. “Doesn’t matter.”“Guess not now,” Mason said. “He never married one of them. Actually, he never saw one more than a single
Jaguar.Nothing was better for my head than fucking Veronica. There wasn’t anything in the world that could take the stress away like that woman’s pussy. I had no clue how or why, but she was fucking incredible, insatiable, wet and amazing.We headed back toward the clubhouse. I figured that would be the safest place to be for a while after the shootout, and plus, I needed to touch base with Phoenix. I had to see what was going on.Because we may have been close to finishing things, but we still had some damn work to do.I kept thinking about Veronica the whole ride back. I could feel her gripping my body on the bike, her hands on my chest as the wind whipped past. It was becoming more about just keeping her safe, more about helping someone I knew from my past.Hell, it always had been. I had to admit to myself that it was more than just because I fucking wanted to help her.I felt something for her. Felt something I didn’t think I’d ever feel. Maybe I had always felt it; maybe it was
Veronica.He dropped down onto his knees in front of me and the bike and began to suck at my pussy. I moaned, amazed that he kept the bike upright while eating me. I loved the feeling of the leather underneath me, his strong hands holding my hips steady, and his tongue and mouth sucking my clit. If I wasn’t as soaked as possible before, I was in that moment.I could barely think. There was only Jaguar sucking my pussy, licking my clit like an animal, ferocious and starving. He was unstoppable as he worked me, and it was driving me wild. I loved getting my pussy licked while I was sitting on a motorcycle; there was something about the power of the bike and the strength of Jaguar that really pushed me to the limit.Desire flooded through me, filling my veins. His hands held me steady, his tongue sliding inside my pussy. “Fuck I love your taste,” he grunted. “I could eat this pussy all fucking day.”“Shit Jaguar,” I said. “I can’t ever say no to you.”“Damn right you can’t.”He went back
Veronica.I was losing myself in Jaguar’s embrace. He was so gruff and talked dirty all the time, but he really did care about me, really did want me to be safe.And he’d never really left me.The revelation that my father had arrested him kept running through my mind. I knew Daddy was a drunk and a bastard, but I couldn’t believe he would put an innocent man in jail for months with no problem.I felt like I was beginning to understand Jaguar. The world had shit on him, over and over again, and now he was out to get his own revenge. He’d joined the Sandcastles and was a hard badass because he didn’t know any other way to live.And that was what drew me to him. He lived however he wanted, took whatever he wanted, did whatever he wanted. Part of me wished I could live like that, but it was hard to exist in a world that wanted you to conform all the time.Jaguar didn’t conform. Jaguar did whatever he wanted.I reached up and touched his face and drew his lips down toward me. I felt his m
Jaguar.I knocked back my whisky and poured another.I couldn’t believe how angry I was. Phoenix letting Jetter go was complete bullshit, the worst kind of cowardice. I couldn’t tell if Phoenix wanted this war or if he wanted to be a pussy-ass bitch and suck the dick of our enemies.Veronica was quiet, but I was too pissed off to do anything about it. She had just been through something not a lot of guys witnessed, a real fucking shootout and a motorcycle chase. That we weren’t all arrested and rotting in prison was a fucking miracle.Actually, it was because we had bribed the police big time.But still, the whole fucking thing was madness.And as I knocked back my second whisky, my phone began to vibrate. I grabbed it, assuming it was Phoenix.“Yeah?” I said, walking away from Veronica.“Hi there, Jaguar.”I stopped in my tracks. “Jetter?”“The one and only. How’s our girl?”“You’re lucky to be alive, you motherfucker,” I growled.“Calm down, Jaguar,” he said. “No need for that.”“Wh
Veronica.Phoenix’s plan was simple. He had assumed that Jetter was going into this a little overconfident, that he’d make some sort of dramatic move. The night before, Phoenix had placed a bunch of Demon members all around the property, and the smoke was their signal to attack.Men poured out of hiding places. The Rebels dropped back to use their armored car as cover, but they were way outnumbered. Phoenix rushed out into the open. “Stop the bikes!” he yelled.Jaguar grabbed me and we made a run for it while the other Rebels were pinned down. Jaguar threw me onto the back of his bike and hopped onto the front. Mason and Spoil joined us as we tore our way past the armored car, riding fast after Jetter. Mason and Spoil went ahead, leading the charge, while Jaguar and I brought up the rear.I wasn’t thinking, couldn’t think. There was only the chase and what was happening. The sound of gunfire sank away as we caught sight of Jetter and his crew just ahead.We tore after them, running re
Veronica.Jaguar looked at me, frowning. “You don’t have to do this, Veronica.”“Yes, I do.”I looked out across the construction site, butterflies churning in my stomach.Yesterday, Jaguar had come back from the clubhouse and explained to me Phoenix’s plan. At first I wasn’t sure, but the more I thought about it, the more I thought about how I had dragged his whole club into a war they had nothing to do with, the more I knew I had to do what I could to help.Even if I was acting as bait.Jaguar, for his part, said that it was my choice. He said he would never bring me into danger again, never force me to do something I didn’t want to do. I believed him, but I also knew that his club needed this from me.And so I said I’d do it. Even when he warned me against it, asked me to reconsider, I knew it was the right thing to do.Which was easy at the time. But standing in that construction site the next day only made me realize how far out of my depth I was.“Let’s go,” Jaguar grunted.We h
