ALEXANDER'S POV.
The name Alexander Smith wasn't spoken lightly in these areas, and when they were spoken, most people shook or turned and ran the other way. I was built like a shit brick house and not a person you wanted to fuck with. These facts turned me into the selfish cocky, beast that I
was today. Did I regret it? Nah I remembered the day I joined the club. I had just left my dad's funeral, at the tender age of thirteen, after my dad had been gunned down by our rival club: the skeletors. From that day on, I held a lot of anger and blame towards them, which in turn made me very vindictive. But if it weren't for Axel Dunkens taking me on as a prospect and treating me like a family, I knew I'd either be in prison or six feet under. The last two places on the earth I wanted to be.
The only thing that made think straight and keep my shit together was Melissa Dunkens. The only I ever cared about and now I had just royally fucked that up.
Stupid, stupid, stupid! I pounded my head with my palms as I sat on the edge of my bed. The very same bed that cursed me. Why I did what I did was still a mystery. I had been with the other women before I had been with Melissa, and each and every time, I felt like the biggest asshole on the planet. So, why did I keep doing it?
I stood from the bed and stormed up to the mirror to glare at myself.
"You're a piece of shit," I told my reflection as I stared deep into my eyes. Then l brought my right arm back and punched the mirror where my face was.
The mirror shuttered into a million pieces, mirroring how I felt as I watched the shards of glass fly everywhere. Blood dripped down my knuckles, but I didn't care. I fell onto my back on the bed and stared up the ceiling as I reached for stereo remote and turned the volume up to deafening levels. Five Finger Death Punch blared through my room, drowning out my thoughts.
Why did I do this to her? To us? She was what I lived and breathed for, and I screwed it all up. What the fuck is going on with me?! When a knock rapped on the door, I didn't move a muscle as I yelled at them to come in. I was in no mood for the club business, or small talk at the moment. I was having a pity party of one.
"Are you okay?"
When I had her voice, I sat straight up.
"What do you want?" I growled.
Jane fidgeted in her spot, looking down at the floor.
"I just heard something break in here, so I thought I'd check on you," she replied timidly.
The attack on the mirror was evident when I looked around and saw the shards of glass all over the dresser, floor, and my bedroom. I raised my hand up and saw the blood, shrugging it off. This was nothing compared to the pain I felt in my heart.
"Oh my God!" Jane cried as she slipped further into the room, closing the door behind her . She came over and sat on the bed next to me, pulling my wounded hand into her lap. "You poor thing."
I stared down at my hand and then up at her. I knew I should kick her out, but to be honest, I didn't want to be alone right now. Being alone was dangerous for my mind.
"I did it to myself," I stated.
When she looked up at me through hooded eyes,. I winced. "It was because of us, wasn't it?"
"There was no us," I replied dryly, keeping my eyes from hers.
"Well, no, but we shared a pretty great night together." Her voice filled with seduction and it was in no way helping my mind decipher between good and bad. This is how I got into this fucking situation in the first place.
"Look, Jane, you really should go. I'll get this cleaned up."
"Don't be ridiculous, these wounds look terrible. Let me help and then I will leave." She grinned over at me before she stood and pulled me to my feet and then into the bathroom. "I'll be gentle," she purred.
Fuck. I couldn't help it, my cock came to life at the way she said that and the look in her eyes. And those damn shorts that cupped her ass just perfectly with that damn tank top that revealed her perfect curves was going to be the death of me.
I sat down at the toilet seat as Jane pulled my hand under the stream of warm water, her ass facing me. I bit my bottom lip hard and looked away, closing my eyes. I had to get my shit together because there was no way in hell I was going to screw up twice in one week. Jane had said it was over, but to me, it wasn't over and never would be.
"There, that's better." Her voice was pure seduction as she turned and straddled my lap, her hands on my shoulders. "I can make it feel better..."
Then her lips were on mine and instinctively. I wrapped my hands around her waist and kissed her back.
Fuck!
I mentally punched myself in the gut as I pulled away, turning my head as Jane kept kissing my jaw then my neck.
"Jane, you seriously have to get out of here," I growled, trying like hell to gain some control here.
"Don't worry, Jane left the club house. This will be our dirty little secret," she murmured against my neck.
Hearing Jane say Melissa's name struck a nerve. With one fluid motion, I grabbed Jane tighter around her waist and lifted her to her feet as I stood.
"Seriously, get out."
Jane pouted her bottom lip. " But, I am horny," she whined.
Again, my fucking dick did the thinking as a dose of arousal coarsed through my veins. I cast beneath my breath and pointed to the door.
"Leave," I bit out.
"Fine, but you know where to find me when you're not so grumpy." She reached between us and cupped my dick in her hand. I jumped from the contact, completely surprised that she was so bold.
She grinned as she continued to stroke my half chubby. "Are you sure you want me to leave?"
I growled deep in my chest, closed my eyes, and tried with all my might to fight the urge to bend her over this sink and fuck her brains out. Instead, I grabbed her wrist and pushed her through my room until I whipped open my door and shoved her into the hallway, but not before I was greeted by Melissa Dunkens' scowl..
Fuck me. I was again screwed up.
Melissa just so happened to be walking down the hall at the exact moment I kicked Jane out of my room. The look on her face shattered me, making my semi-erection completely disappear.
She looked shocked at first but then narrowed her eyes and stormed off.
"Melissa! Wait!"I shoved past Jane into the hallway and ran after Melissa I didn't know what I was going to say, but I had to say something.
MELISSA'S POV"Melissa! Wait!", I heard Alexander's voice but there was no way in hell I was going to wait for him. I picked up the pace ready to leave but just as I made it out to the parking lot, I was immediately turned by the arm and faced Alexander."It's not what it looked like." His eyes looked panicked, and at first it flattered me that he would care that much, but I remembered my words then."What part of 'we're done' don't you understand, Alexander? I don't care what you do with that skank anymore. I hope you had a nice time." I looked up at his hair and it had been ruffled, surely from a quickie in sheets.What a pig!I shook my head and turned toward my car, but he stopped me again.He raised his bandaged hand up, and I instantly felt worry for what happened to him. What the hell did he do?"I hurt myself, she was just cleaning up the cuts." He watched me, waiting for some type of reaction, but I wasn't going to give him one. I was too stubborn. "It wasn't what you th
MELISSA'S POV. "Melissa, what the hell was that all about? Why was my Sergeant At Arms and the Secretary beating each other to a bloody pulp?" Axel sat behind his desk as he glared over at me."They were fighting over me, dad", I shrugged my shoulders. "Over this shit that happened this morning?" He sighed out his breath, looking frustrated as hell.I shrugged again and moved my gaze to my hands in my lap. "Insorts. I slept with Gearhead a few nights ago, and I told Alexander about it today. I wanted revenge." I stole a peek up at my dad and saw his brows furrowed in surprise. "Revenge? Revenge for what ?", He questioned. "You haven't heard? Alexander fucked Missy. I was simply getting back at him for that."Axel sighed and shook his head. ",Look, Melissa, you had every right to get revenge on your man, but you cheated on him with his brother". "Dad, I don't want to hear your club point of view on this right now. I need to know what you think on this as being my dad. He
MELISSA'S POV"She's really sick, Dad."I had just finished telling him what I had to deal with the night before with Mom. He sighed. "Yeah, Ia know she is, but what do you want me to do about it?""She needs help. Help that we can't give her." I didn't want to see my Mom go down this path any longer.I would love nothing more than to have somewhat of a normal relationship with my Mom again. Right now, she was a shell of her former self and I hated that for her."I know. After tonight, I will look around for some good rehab places and see if I can get her into one of them."I hugged my dad around his stubborn neck. "Thanks, dad.""Yeah, yeah, yeah, now stop with all of this lovey-dovey shit and help me out with this before the guys get here and we have to take off." I smiled as I pulled up a chair and got to work.ALEXANDER'S POV.Running drugs wasn't what this club was founded on, but in this community, we had to do whatever we could to get the income; no matter how much we all hate
Jane walked over , glaring at Melissa before she threw me a wink and smiled."I see you need another beer, honey."I only nodded as she popped the top and slid a fresh beer in front of me. I looked over at Melissa to see her reaction, and found myself disappointed when I saw she was looking straight ahead with no emotion on her face. She wasn't showing any jealousy at all and that bothered me.Normally, she would be throwing daggers at Jane with her eyes as I waited to act if she lunged over the bar.Then she turned to look at me, her tits stretching the material of her shirt."How was the run today?", She asked confidently."Fine. Good. Yeah, it was great," I stumbled over my words.What the hell, man? I was a grown ass man, not a fucking teenager. But damn, she was distracting as fuck right now.Melissa giggled and I nearly lost my shit. Her giggle could ruin me in seconds.Man, I was in trouble tonight. I had to control myself before things worsen."I better go help Gear the keys r
MELISSA'S POV.I was incredibly turned on as Aleksander bit my bottom lip just the way I liked it. He knew me more than even I did sometimes, and right now was one of those times. I felt like my nipples were going to rip holes in my shirt if they weren't pressured soon. But that's what pulled me back to the now. What was I doing?!I was falling back into his damn trap again! I pulled away from Alexander's lips and spun away from him, but he was quick to pull me back to him. His stroking tongue and nipples against my neck drove me wild as I moaned out.Looking up, I saw Jane watching us with evil eyes. Tonight was about making anyone jealous or getting back what was supposed to be mine, but seeing the way Jane watched us, I knew I had a new mission."Give me one more night," Alexander whispered into my ear as my heart ached.I really did want one more night with him too, if only to say goodbye, but seeing Jane made me want to have one more night with him just to prove to Jane that Alex
ALEXANDER'S POVI wasn't sure what was the more difficult at this moment: that I fell sleep with the raging hard-on that I couldn't take care of because I couldn't get Melissa's crying face out of head, or that I was leaving tomorrow and wasn't sure when I would see Melissa again. She made it clear last night that we were done, and I was afraid that she really meant it this time. She was never able to say no to me, but last night she did it with a lot of confidence that l really believed her this time. And that tear sliding down her cheek! Damn it, she was killing me.I strapped my duffle bag to the back of my bike before I looked back to my brothers who came to see me off. They all gave me a slap on the back kind of hug before stepping back to their spots. I wasn't surprised that Melissa hadn't shown up this morning to wish me farewell. It was pretty clear that last night was her goodbye; as much as it is hard to admit it.But then her car pulled into the lot and my heart skippe
MELLISA'S POVJust as i was seated in my office, Gearhead popped his head in the office. "Hey, are you okay." I looked up and smiled. "Sure, why wouldn't I be okay?""Just that Alexander left today and won't be back for awhile." He shrugged."Am fine. That was bound to happen", I shrugged my shoulders.I totally didn't care plus, if I ever thought I was going to get over Alexander, this time apart is what I needed. I had trusted him way back when, so sure that he really and truly wanted me, but I had been wrong. I knew I wasn't a wrong about this. I was going to leave the club and this was another step closer to seeing that happen.My first step was mailing off a package this morning, which included a demo of me singing and playing my guitar, to a music producer.I found in Memphis that was taking a on new talent. I had no idea what was going to come of it, but I would know unless I tried, right?"True, well let me know if you need anything." He turned to leave when I stopped him."A
DRAKE'S POV."Talk to me, Aaron, what the hell is going on?!" I was full of nervous as I walked in the tiny space that would be my living room and kitchen."Jane antagonized Melissa. Oh, man, it's really bad, Alexander."My heart fell into my gut. If anything happened to Melissa, I was going to lose my shit."What happened, Aaron?!" I was getting impatient and very fucking pissed off.Melissa put Jane into a comma. She beat the fuck out of her. I have never seen anything like it, man. Melissa went fucking crazy after what Jane said about you. I don't even think she knows what happened because afterward she looked freaked out. Melissa was white as a ghost."I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I know Melissa was a badass, being a Dunkens and all, but to put someone into a comma? Fuck me."Is she okay? Melissa? Both of them?""I don't know. Do you think you can come back for a night? I know it's such a long fucking drive, but it's fucking nuts around here right now. Pres is back at hi
Ever reluctantly picked up the last one, his mouth turned down into a pout."Wait a minute," I looked at Brian. "I'm going to need a shot of whiskey to chase this down.""Me too," Ever piped up and added miserably, "and a glass of milk...a big fucking glass of milk."Brian disappeared, only to reappear with another tray containing three more shots and three glasses of milk. Once we gathered the additional shots and milk, Brian said cheerfully, "Cheers, gentlemen."I tossed the hot sauce down my throat, purposefully keeping it out of my mouth, and gulped it down in one swallow. It still burned like a mother in my esophagus. I grabbed the shot of whiskey and drank it slower, letting it wash away the remnants of the hot sauce.Ever coughed and sputtered. I looked over to find tears rolling down his cheeks while he cursed and sucked down milk at the same time. When he could finally catch his breath, he eyed Gwen and threatened, "I am sooo spanking you when we go home, woman."I laughed, "
"Oh yeah, we got it," Ever replied. His lips were curled into a smug expression as he also watched Hycinth's responses. His confidence was high. Clearly looking forward to the game.Hycinth noticed his stare as well, but rather than reflect irritation as she had earlier, her lips curled back, flashing him a brilliant smile with fang.And fucking winked at him!Fuck, she was bold. Her confidence not only met but exceeded his. I was dying to know if she could back it up. Either way, her ballsy response threw him off. His expression froze. He blinked. But then he recovered, licking his lips, looking even more eager.Brian continued explaining the rules, "If a ball hits the ground, it is retired, and a fresh ball is put into play." He pointed toward a small bucket of gleaming white ping-pong balls on a countertop behind him."For the shot to count, keep your elbows behind the edge of the table."Hycinth listened attentively."No fingering or blowing."At this, she squeezed Gwen's hand and
LEANDER'S POV Surprisingly, she gave it to me. She kept one hand on my shoulder, and raised the other, letting it sway freely in the air. Her body molded to mine, pliable, willing to let me move her as I wanted. And oh, I wanted to move her...in many ways. Most of which, we couldn't do on a dance floor surrounding by an audience of strangers. But it didn't stop me from forcing my knee between her legs and jerking her lower body tight to mine until no space remained. The movement caused her dress to slide up, but I still couldn't see whether or not she wore panties. However, the heat of her core was unmistakable against my leg."Oh!" she gasped loudly, chest heaving. And then began grinding herself against my thigh, her hips moving in time with the music...using me for her own pleasure. I wondered if she even realized she was doing it.My breath caught in my throat. The image of her was almost too much. Eyes closed, mouth slack, hips moving wantonly against me, her belly rubbing pleas
I raised an eyebrow. "Out of all of them, alcohol is the one you fixated on? Should I be worried?"There was a sparkle in her eye, a hint of mischievous I'd never seen before. "Certainly not. I enjoy dancing and music just as much.""Uh huh," I replied, not at all convinced by her innocent act. It seemed I was definitely going to have to keep an even closer eye on her during the evening.When we reached the living room, Ever and Gwen were waiting for us, as well as Asher and Willow. Gwen wrapped Hycinth in a bear hug. "You look gorgeous!"I was surprised to see Hycinth blush. But she recovered quickly. "Thanks so much for letting me borrow it!""Ready?" Asher grinned.I gave a hard nod. "More than ready."We decided to use drivers rather than drive ourselves. Knowing myself, Ever and Asher, none of us would be in the best shape to drive later. When Hycinth and I climbed into the back of the Cadillac, she settled comfortably into the plush, oversized leather seat next to me. The driver
Sit Up & BegLEANDER'S POV After I touched base with Ever to confirm our plans, I quickly made my way up the stairs.My Wolf was flying high on his mate. Completely blitzed and full-out addicted. Spending hours running, playing and lazily lying around, was exactly his definition of perfection. There was nothing better than having her close to him...well, except for under him. I couldn't agree more. She was better than any drug. Everything about our mate was intoxicating.Rounding the corner and heading down the long hallway, excitement coursed through me, leaving my skin tingling, and my manhood itching to get free. That particular part of my anatomy only ever had one goal- to forever bury himself in Hycinth's hot and tight flesh. Pure bliss. But alas, as much as I wanted to indulge that train of thought, I had more to focus on than just my carnal desires. Not to mention it would be hugely uncomfortable and inconvenient to walk around with a hard-on all night, so I exhaled and forcef
HYCINTH My Wolf was in heaven. The wind whipped through her fur as we flew by tall trees rising out of the earth to kiss the sky. Her nostrils flared with the scents of moss, bark and wild mushrooms. The spongy surface beneath our paws gave away easily, still damp from the recent rain showers. Acorns, pine cones, and fallen leaves were strewn about the well-worn path like spilled trinkets.And her mate by her side.There was nothing better for her. No other place she would rather be than right where she was. Leander's Wolf was magnificent. Powerful and sure, sleek and dominant-a potent elixir to our senses. Primal.Addictive.We were running at the front of the pack. He was pushing her endurance and testing her ability. His big paws powered ahead, silently gliding over the uneven ground, pitted with rocks and roots, easily leaping to clear dead logs, and maneuvering around encroaching thick brambles -a virile display of his strength and agility. My Wolf had to put forth considerable
Lucky's expression was still affected by the scene that had unfolded in front of him, but he nodded his head and walked away with the guards.Ever turned to Hycinth and murmured, "We have stalls located on the east side where you can remove your dress in privacy and shift.""Okay," she responded and looked at my Wolf hesitantly. It was obvious she wasn't sure what he would be doing while she changed. He answered that question for her by walking toward the changing stalls. She quickly scrambled after him. When they reached their destination, he nudged the door open with his big head. She went inside the large sectioned off space that was open to the air above. And he followed along right with her, not intending to leave her side for even a moment.Her heart raced as she understood what he wanted her to do get undressed in front of him and shift. Amazingly enough, there was no negotiation like I'd had to go through to see her creamy flesh. She simply complied with his wishes, removing h
Running With The WolvesLeanderI kept Lucky close by during the ceremony. Not just for the reason I gave Hycinth...because Lucky didn't seem to give a shit before he said whatever the hell he wanted...I liked his boldness and the opportunity he might spout other useful tidbits of information about my little mouse. However, the other reason was much, more simple I wanted him to see how she reacted to me, I wanted him to see us together. Regardless of his parentage and his history, he was a full adult male Wolf. I could sense it pained him not to have his own mate...and he understood how nature was driving me to possess mine.I also wanted his blessing. I would never tell him that, but I recognized how invaluable it would be. All I had to do was be transparent enough, and let him see the truth for himself...how I felt about his sister. Maybe it wouldn't change anything, maybe it wouldn't help...but maybe it would. It couldn't hurt to try. And I was willing to try anything at this poin
I refocused on Leander. "Stop it. Whatever you are thinking, stop it right now! My brother's just being an ass. It comes naturally to him. He can't help it."Leander looked at Lucky, not quite ready to let it go and said, "Maybe we should keep your brother with us during the rest of the celebration. Just in case he has any other pearls of wisdom he would like to share.""Maybe, he should go back to the dungeon until he learns to behave," I retorted.Lucky's face fell, genuine hurt crossing his expression, and instantly, I regretted my words. I said hurriedly, "I didn't mean that! Of course, I want you to stay with us for as long as possible.""Why don't you find him a seat nearby," Leander said to one of the wolves guarding him. The Wolf did as ordered and all three sat down close by.Leander and I went back to the still waiting line of wolves and continued where we'd left off. I enjoyed hearing their stories and was fascinated as I watched Leander interact with them. He made eye cont
