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 really hurt me," I added.
"Of course he did. He broke club rules, too," He paused and took a deep breath.
"Look, you're both in the wrong here, but you know how it is around here, Melissa"."You shouldn't let it get under your skin. As long as he comes back to your bed at the end of the night, that's all that matters."I shook my head, a single tear sliding down my face as I wiped at it angrily. Damn these emotions."I don't want to have worry about him coming back to our bed each night. He should just be there when I go to sleep.
Isn't that what a normal relationship is about?"He scoffed. "There isn't anything normal about you and Alexander, and there sure as hell isn't anything normal about your life. The sooner you realize that the sooner you will get along just fine."
"I don't want to get along just fine," I snapped.
Axel's expression turned dark. "What are you trying to say, Melissa?"
"Nothing."
I knew I could never tell my dad the way I really felt because even though I was his daughter, I was a club member too. Being apart of the club and wanting to get out meant that I'd have to be cut out just like any other member. Lots of blood, sweat, and tears would be shed and I'd never see my family again. I'd be a traitor; an outcast.
"Good now l need you to go to my place and check on Mom. I won't be home tonight... Am dealing with next shipment coming in tomorrow morning." He sighed, looking more tired and stressed than I had seen him in a while.
I nodded as I stood up from my chair, trying to hide the tears forming behind my eyes.
*****
I got to the clubhouse early the next day to help my dad finish up in the office, and to tell him how my visit with Mom went the night before. it was another depressing afternoon to say the least. My mom was three sheets to the wind like always and hardly remembered who I was . It was a chore and a half to get her dressed and actually put in bed. I gave my dad lots of credit for having to deal with that shit every single night.
When I opened the door,
' Sweat Home Alamba' blared from the jukebox as I saw a few of members already sitting at the bar.
Careen was there this time, the one bar-maid that I actually liked and had a friendship with.
"Hey, sugar, can I grab you a beer?" Careen was drying off a glass with her white bar towel as I slid onto the stool next to Danny.
I slid at Careen as I slid my arm around Danny's neck.
"A bit early for you isn't it, old man?"
Danny laughed. "What is it everyone calling me old man? I much prefer Danny or tattoo-Dan."
I laughed, nudging his side. "It's because we love you and love giving you shit even more."
He grunted as Careen slid a beer in front of me. I took a pull from the bottle as I looked over my shoulder to find Alexander coming into the bar from the hallway. I nearly choked on my beer at the sight of him. Damn, he looked good. More than good. He was straight up delicious.
He came into the room wearing his signature ripped up jeans, black biker boots, and his cut with no shirt underneath. His perfect right pack abs and colorful artwork done by Danny were on full diplay. I knew every curve on his body having tasted nearly every inch of him. His dark brunette hair was all messed up from sleep, and his jawline was covered in stubble. The man was good.
"Morning,' darlin'," Careen greeted him with a smile and a beer, which he took before he headed towards me and Danny.
My heart sped up the closer he got as like hell to hide my reaction to his body as he slid onto the stool next to me. His strong thigh rupped up against mine as heat spread through me like wildfire. Damn, this is good. How did I go from hearing him to wanting him? Story of fucking life.
"Get everything done?" Danny asked over my head.
Alexander nodded as he nursed his beer and stared straight ahead. I couldn't help but look at him out of the corner of my eyes, though. His cut was pulled back just enough to show his flexed abs, and I couldn't help but think about running my tongue between those muscles as I had a hundred times before. The memory brought a familiar taste back into my mouth as I recalled what is manly, salty skin tasted like.
His cigarette pack stuck out of his right pocket as I reached over and grabbed it. He flinched at me and watched me grab for him, disappointed etched the on his face when he realized I wasn't reaching out to touch him.
Trust me, big guy, I want to, but I can't
"Oh, you think so, huh?", Alexander's raspy voice ran over my skin like silk.
Nodding, I pulled the cigarette from the pack and stuck it between my lips before I pushed the pack back toward him on the bar. I patted my pants for a lighter when I realized I didn't have one. Damn it.
Alexander watched every move I made as he reached into the other pocket and revealed a lighter. He reached up and cupped the end of the cigarette to help me light it as I reached up and placed my hand on his.
The touch was too intimate for me as chills ran over my body. I quickly pulled my hand away and puffed on the cig while I kept my eyes straight ahead. Of course I saw his eyes on my lips through the mirror's reflection behind the bar as I got my courage to pull my gaze away. Damn him and how he made me feel. The bastard.
"Pres is throwing a party tonight if the shipment is successful," Alexander stated as he pulled his gaze away from mine in the mirror and looked over at Danny.
Danny nodded. "I figured as much."
Then Alexander looked back at me as I felt his heated gaze at the side of my face.
"Are you going to be there?" He asked.
His voice was raspy and full of seduction, and I knew that voice all too well. It was his I'm-about-to-fuck-you voice. And damn if I wasn't angry at him, I would have fucked him.
"I'm member, aren't I ?" Is all I could ask as I kept my gaze straight ahead.
I had to play it cool here. I had to pretend like he didn't affect me, or else I would be in trouble tonight.
"Why is there so much sexual tension down here?" Careen interrupted the moment as she grabbed Danny's empty bottle and filled his hand with a fresh one.
I coughed and sat straight up, putting my cig out in the ashtray before I slid from my stool. My chest rubbed against Alexander's bare arm as deep growl came from deep in his chest.
"That's my leave," I whispered as I turned to the bar. "Careen." I winked at her.
"Grand -dad." I slapped Danny's back.
"Pig", I glared at Alexander, who could only give me that stupid cocky grin of his.
"Oo," Alexander laughed as he swiveled around on his stool and looked at me.
"You're a cruel woman," he teased
I swayed my hips the way I knew Alexander liked; the way I knew would torture him as I flipped him off over my shoulder and disappeared down the hall.
~~~~~
ALEXANDER'S POV...
My cock hardened in my jeans as I watched her walk away, we're perfect together, and even though I messed up, I knew that Melissa knew it too. Why else would she be teasing me?
Being with her was the best lay I'd ever had. So, why did I kept fucking other whores, I honestly didn't have an answer for that.
Danny laughed behind me as I spun back to the bar, hoping to hide this hard on behind my cut.
"What's so funny, old man?", I glared at him.
"You too are," Danny nodded in Melissa's direction. "We all have bets on how long this will last. How long before you have her on her back again." He sipped his beer as he shook his head.
I looked up at Careen who was smiling at me. "We all know you two will get married and have the most beautiful babies together. Only a matter of time."
When she mentioned babies, my hard on immediately went away and I felt sick. Pushing my beer away, I groaned. Kids? I didn't know how I felt about being a father. I'd never been around kids at all.
I didn't know if kids were in cards for me, but I couldn't think about having them with any other woman than with Melissa.
"Get the fuck out of here,"I shot back at the both of them.
Crazy bastards.
Careen and Danny smiled at each other as I slid from the stool and headed back to my room for a shower. I refused to think about that shit any longer.
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
"Oh, for fuck's sake. We're back to that again?" He grabbed my hip and kept me from going further."Don't do this."I gave him a hard glare. "Why did you come back here?", I asked angrily.His brows furrowed. " What do you mean? I came back to make sure you're okay. What kind of stupid question is that?""I didn't want you to come back. I am fine." This time when I moved, he let me. Deep down, I was disappointed that he let me go again, just once, I wanted him to fight for me but he unfortunately didn't."You're seriously going to push me away again?" He sat up, rubbing his hands over his face. "I just drove five fucking hours to get here." He added while looking disappointedly at me."I just told you I didn't want you to come back! So, you wasted your own damn time, not my fault." I puffed out my chest. "And I am not pushing you away again. The last time I checked, I pushed you away once but you won't let me go! Why won't you let me go?! I want to be happy, but you won't let me!",
I woke alone, reaching out for Melissa but found the bed to be empty and cold. I just didn't understand her sometimes. Why would she leave after we shared a pretty intimate moment the night before? Why does she have to be damn stubborn? Crawling out bed, I headed for the bathroom to freshen up before I went out into the bar to find Careen manning the men. Danny, Gearhead, sergeant the prospect sat at the bar nursing on their beers. Looking at Gearhead still left a bad test in my mouth."Beer me." I stood at the bar as Careen slid me a fresh cold one. Taking the first sip of the morning was glorious. My eyes scanned over my brothers, but I didn't see the one person I was looking for. "Anyone seen Melissa this morning?"Gearhead was the one to answer, making me groan. "She went home. Just left about thirty minutes ago."Of course, she went home. I took a few more pulls before I slid my still half-full beer across the bar and winked at Careen.."See you later."I didn't know what I was
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
