Pelican Bay Security Chapter 180: A Date with My Past
It's not that people in Vegas are more suspicious of cops than other people in the country. It's that the cops here... leave a bit to be desired. I'm sure it's because they live in the world full of sin and have their hands full, but most people in our apartment complex aren't going to willingly give out information or turn someone over to the police. We don't work that way. Even the law-abiding ones of us know what it takes to survive in the desert."Yeah, I saw Archer the other day." One of the neighbors leans against his doorway not letting Huxley see inside his apartment as he answers. I'm surprised he gives this much. My ears immediately perk up to hear better. Robert shared a wall with us for the last two years but we never really talked to him. Archer helped one of them move a couch once, but that's about it."He say anything to you last time he saw him?" Huxley asks."He borrowed thirty bucks from me and said he was going to... Somewhere on the East Coast."Huxley's onc
Pelican Bay Security Chapter 181: Talk you into it?
He tilts his head, his eyes widening as he waits. The small borough of excitement flutters alive in my chest. At the same time, it doesn't seem as late anymore and I'm not quite as tired as I was a few minutes ago.But a girl doesn't give in that easily."You might be able to persuade me."Huxley smirks, his lips pinched together but still happy. "What about you take off your pants and lie in the bed and we'll see if I can talk you into it?" He tugs his shirts from his chest. The hard lines of muscle shimmer in the lights as his body flexes with the movement. I lick my lips looking at the tone muscles he received either in the military or working on a farm in Hawaii. I don't care where they came from. I'm only glad they're mine.I sit on the bed not ready for our game to end. "And what if I don't? Will you make me?""Maybe I will." He stalks to the edge using slow and deliberate steps.A shudder runs through my body the closer he gets until we're a hair's breadth away. Huxl
Pelican Bay Security Chapter 182: Family dinner
"Glad you guys could make it before dinner," she says wiping her hands on a white lace apron wrapped around her waist. "We need to get it now before it gets cold.""Hush, Kimmy. We're getting reacquainted," her mother says."Seems like we can get acquainted at the dining room table just as easily as out here in the heat," she says not wasting any time walking back into the farmhouse.It is a little hot. Especially since it's only May. We stopped wearing jackets in Pelican Bay, but that doesn't mean it's warm there. Anytime the snow melts off the ground and temps hit above fifty, people in Maine act like its summer, but I'm still freezing there.Huxley leads us into the house and into a large room off the living room. A table big enough to seat twelve fills the space and his sister drops off two additional plates, the ceramic clinking against the wood as she haphazardly drops each one."I thought there was a chance you'd make it, so I made your favorite," Huxley's mom says bri
Pelican Bay Security Chapter 183: Archer
"Don't respond," Huxley says reading the text message over my shoulder."Hey!" I pull the phone away from his view. I wouldn't hide it anyway, so there's no need for him to go snooping. "Don't you think I should ask where he is?"Huxley narrows one eye, staring at me, but not seeing me as he thinks. "Yes, but only say that, 'where are you?' And nothing else."I grit my teeth enough it stops me from rolling my eyes. I'll chalk it up to him being tense because of the situation not because he thinks I'm a moron who can't handle a simple message."You want me to send it for you?" he asks when I don't immediately type out the message.Remember, he is under a lot of stress, Winnie. You can't fault him for wanting to keep you safe.I give myself the reminder twice more before I'm ready to look in his eyes without screaming and shaking him by the shoulders. Then I calmly respond as I send the message to Archer.WINNIE: Where are you?His reply comes in less than a minute as Hux
Pelican Bay Security Chapter 184: She's Trouble
I moan, not willing to argue with him, because if this is what trouble looks like I'm okay with it. My hand slips beneath his pants and my fingers skim along his already hardening cock. He twitches and I smile."Roll over," I say, pushing on his shoulder. It's time I pay Huxley back for our night in the hotel.He smiles and listens quickly once I tug on his jeans again and he figures out what I want. "Normally I would say no. Not before you get yours, but since this has been a fantasy of mine since middle school I'm going to shut up.""Shutting up is good."Hucks lies stretched out, his shirt cast to the side and his muscled chest on full display. I start there because I can't stop myself as I reach out and use my tongue against his left nipple. My hands work on his jean button as I lick his nipple before biting down a fraction.With his pants open, Huxley pulls them down to his knees. His dick springs up when freed and my attention moves south. I've only done this for Huxley
Pelican Bay Security Chapter 185: Home
"Winnie, you can open your eyes. We're home."His words do nothing for me. "Wheels on the ground?" I clarify with my eyes closed.Huxley chuckles. "Yes, that was the big bouncing a few minutes ago.""You promise?" I believe him... Maybe. My stomach flew into my chest at one point during the bouncing so I also feared we took off again and we're circling the Pelican Bay airport for the delight of the pilot so he can land again and watch my expression. If he does, I will puke on something. His shoes."Princess, get off the plane." Huxley squeezes my fingers giving a slight tug on my hand.It works, but I'm not happy about it. I stand with my eyes still closed and slowly open them, looking out the side window to confirm we are planted firmly on the ground. The plane steps have even been dropped and Huxley and I are able to walk right off the plane. I may not enjoy the actual flying, but it sure is nice not to have to go to baggage or security. He stops to thank the pilot and I sp
Pelican Bay Security Chapter 186: Screwed Up This Time
He sighs settling into my couch to get comfortable like he's here for the long haul. "Yes, Winnie." His words are tired as if he's been on the run and not sleeping for the last two weeks. Probably because he has."You don't get to put Winnie in danger. Get out."Archer quickly stands but doesn't move to the exit.I put myself back in between the two men both my hands pushed out. "Shut up. Both of you!" Why is every male in my life so damn frustrating?Archer takes another seat on the couch and Huxley paces in the corner of the room, but he's calm enough I believe it's okay to lower my hands."Archer, tell me what happened." My heart thrums loudly in my chest. I'm too agitated to sit down, so I stand a few feet from the couch listening as he talks."I was running an underground gambling ring with Jensen. You remember him, right?"I nod. Of course, I remember his friend who always had a floozy hanging off his arm. He drove the loudest motorcycle I ever heard in my entire li
Pelican Bay Security Chapter 187: Are You Sure?
"Are you sure about this, Winnie?" Huxley asks, walking me out to the parking lot.I'm not sure at all. There was a point in my life when I trusted Archer explicitly, but that time is past. "It'll be fine, Hucks.""What do you know about the guy?"I pause next to the driver's side door of my car and take a few deep breaths. I may not trust Archer, but I don't want Huxley to figure that out. I don't appreciate him questioning my decision-making skills. It's a little stressful right now and his questions are extra pressure I don't need. "We dated for years, Huxley."His face pinches together in agitation when I mention how long I dated Archer, but he's the one who keeps bringing it up. I want to forget those years of my life too.Huxley starts to say something else, but a loud ticking sound comes from further down the apartment complex. Gravel pinging off cars. We both quickly turn in that direction and freeze as a large yellow Pelican Bay school bus barrels down the apartment

Pelican Bay Security Chapter 324: From Elliot
ElliotFive years later"No, sweetie, we only get one puppy today." I squat getting on the same level as my daughter, Brandise.The round ball of fluff she squeezes onto with all her might so he doesn't run away licks her across the face and she giggles. "Daddy, they're twins just me and Bray. They have to stay together."My eyes flick back and forth between each dog. One held in the tight grip of Brandise and the other being sized up by my son. Their mother, Harley, a woman who took too long for me to figure she meant everything stands between the two of them with her lips pinched together not helping me in this situation. She's left me out in the cold on my own.The two puppy siblings look alike, but in my eyes every Yorkie looks the same. How can you tell them apart? The puppies my babies held both had a lighter colored face than Rocky, but other than that they were big puffballs of fur."Sweetie, Rocky only needs one brother," I try again hoping to talk sense into her.
Pelican Bay Security Chapter 322: No Listening to Reason
Elliot's steps are slow but sure as I hold open the bakery door to let him get through the space. Once he's cleared the way, I stand beside him in case he needs me for support as he makes his way to the first table in the busy sitting section. You wouldn't expect a shoulder injury to cause issues walking, but with each movement his body makes, his shoulder sways with the force and his face grimaces.It's too soon for him to be up and moving, but I couldn't make him listen to reason.He finds his seat and plops in it heavily, the chair legs scraping on the tile. The people around us stop what they're doing and turn before a small round of applause starts from behind the bakery counter and then picks up including people from every space in the bakery. Elliot turns to the noise, catching everyone in their adoration, and scowls until the clapping fades."Cupcakes for everyone," Anessa says smiling from her spot at the counter. "Especially for our new hero."Elliot's scowl deepens.
Pelican Bay Security Chapter 323: Eligible Bachelors
Dominick releases a breath and sucks in another one as if preparing himself for this new life. "Are you positive? Because there are very eligible bachelors in my club. A brother could keep you safe."I don't argue with him that Elliot kept me safe. Well at least until he got shot, and no one can blame a man for that. He literally stuck his body in between me and a loaded weapon. How much more could he have done?Plus I could never live life in the club again. Now after experiencing life on my own. "Yeah, and then they'd cheat on me or go to prison."Dominick shakes his head. "My men aren't that way. They love hard and deep. I changed the club here, Harley. It's different from how we grew up in Colorado."There's honesty in his words, but it will never be enough to bring me back. "Elliot is mine."Dom shakes his head once, admitting defeat. "Fine. Onto topic two. I met your father," he says father accusatorily like I've been keeping something from him.Which, in a way, I hav
Pelican Bay Security Chapter 322: Three Bullets to the Chest
Without warning there's another harsh pop in the air like someone shooting off a firecracker, and then red blossoms in the middle of Pete's forehead. His body falls back hitting the ground once again. The thud is too far away to hear, but I swear my body feels the vibration.Holy fuck.My ears ring from the gunfire as men pool around us each of them yelling things back and forth. It's coordinated chaos. An ambulance with its lights flashing speeds over the highway."That man took three bullets to the chest," Huxley mutters to himself shaking his head. "I haven't seen anything that crazy since Thailand."... The steady beat of Elliot's hospital machines lulls me into a restless sleep as my head rests on Elliot's hand."Harley," a deep voice whispers in my ear, shaking my shoulder. "Har."In a start my head pops up and my eyes search Elliot's face, but his hand still rests underneath my head, a pool of my drool sticking between his fingers."Still drool, huh? I wouldn't
Pelican Bay Security Chapter 321: Nobody to Save Me
"Dominick won't pay anything for me," I lie.Pete laughs. "Don't want money. I'm looking to trade you for a free get-out-of-town card. If he won't offer me his protection, you'll be a going away gift to my men. They're upset with having to leave. I'm sure you understand.""What?" Fear causes me to choke out the word as a hundred images flash through my brain of what he could mean, but only one is sick and depraved enough for this man.He smirks. "They'll love you if the Impaler doesn't."I fall to my knees against the back of his seat. "No, please don't." I'd rather he shoot me now than do what his smile promises. He means I'm to be a sexual gift given to his men and passed between them. I'd never survive. Sure, Dom trained me in basic self-defense skills, but my mother sheltered me from club life so I only heard the evils of the world through others. Until now, I never once felt concern for my safety. Not the way I do now.The cargo van travels on the highway, passing a bill
Pelican Bay Security Chapter 320: Nothing Drastic
"Stand up, Fucker."Elliot scoots away from me as I claw deftly on his leg trying to hold on and keep him close. He turns, not making any sudden movements and puts his body in front of mine to shield me once again from the nasties of life."Let's not do anything drastic, Pete." Elliot takes a step forward with his hand held out defensively.I twist seeing the old man wearing a pair of board shorts, a blue Hawaiian shirt with palm trees, and flip-flops on his feet standing in the middle of the beach. He resembles a tourist who belongs in Florida not a man running a drug ring in Pelican Bay. He sneers at me taking the tension from Elliot for just a moment and waving the gun in his direction as if either of us could forget it's there."She's the only one who can name me. Without her I can pick up shop and start somewhere fresh and there's nothing you can do about it. You guys don't have shit on me.""You're standing in the middle of a public beach during the day, Pete," Elliot t
Pelican Bay Security Chapter 319: Stagnant Words
He flinches as of my question has hurt him, but I'm the child who didn't have a father. "I got out early for good behavior and I looked up your mother. I learned what happened. Sorry about your loss," he says. The words are stagnant as if he knows what he's supposed to say but struggles with the meaning. Yet, something in the inflection makes me believe he means each one. His eyes turn soft, possibly remembering his time with my mother.My life has never been cupcakes and cookies, but the last month has been indescribable except for the word surreal. First, I had no father, then I picked up a club president for a stepdad, lost him, and now gained back the original. What is happening to my life?"What will happen now?"My father shakes his head and stares at me with a touch of a smile tweaking his lips. "I'm out of the club life. Plan to take the straight and narrow from here on out."I hold back the cringe at his promise. It's one I've heard from club brothers my entire life. E
Pelican Bay Security Chapter 318: She Deserves Better
Elliot shakes his head, his fingers curving around the handle of his gun. His face pinches together as if he has so much to say, but is staying silent for me.Until he doesn't anymore."Would someone mind telling me what the fuck is going on?"He's not the only one looking for answers. "Me too. Mom said you died in a motorcycle crash. Drove your bike over a mountain ledge one night." She hadn't said he'd been drinking, but I've filled in the blanks for myself as I aged.My father's teeth come together hard making a gnashing sound I hear even from my position. "Yeah well. She thought it would be better than the true story. Easier for both of you to move on rather than wait around on me living only a half-life.""Then what is the true story?" After my mom left Dominick's dad, it was the three of us together. I always believed we never hid any secrets from one another.My father shakes his head and stares at me but looks past me as if he's reliving the memories himself. "She s
Pelican Bay Security Chapter 317: Escape Plans
My gaze and thoughts flip to the back door, but I'm too far away to reach it before he could shoot me.The man is younger than Pete and not the person I saw put a bullet in someone earlier this month, but he's old enough to be my father. His skin is leathered and wrinkled as if he's spent a lifetime in the sun. His jeans are loose and a leather jacket lacking any MC cut is wrapped around his body. Not a Bloodhound.I stand next to the kitchen island breathing heavily while trying to come up with an escape plan as the two of us stare at one another unmoving.He speaks first. "Now, Harley, is this any way to greet the old man who named you?"His words scatter in my brain, startling me into paying attention, all my plans of escape lost. "Excuse me? My father named me."It was one of the few stories I had of the man who shared such a brief relationship with my mother. "He wanted to pay homage to the best...""Damn motorcycle company the US has ever seen," he finishes my sentenc
