Flash (Iron Thunder MC Book 2)

by Kasey Krane

  Who wouldn’t want to live carefree and on the edge if they got a chance to? Who wouldn’t want to spend their time surrounded by friends who were like brothers to each other?

  These men evoked a sense of freedom and respect, a buzzing sense of danger and brotherhood. Nobody messed with them because they were afraid of them, but they would have loved to live a slice of their lives too.

  I was living it. Even if for a short time. I knew I was on borrowed time with Flash and intended on making the most of it. Through some divine luck, my life had suddenly turned around.

  Yesterday, I was alone and scared, running for my life—running from the dark secrets I carried. Today, I was clutching the rugged torso of a hot muscular biker who was going to keep me safe. At least till the next destination. And I had to admit, this was starting to feel like a lot of fun.

  The others roared ahead as we entered the city. Flash seemed to slow down and lag behind. He waved at the guys in the front and then took a turn.

  “Where are we going?” I shouted over the noise of the engine.

  “You’ll see,” he shouted back.

  Very soon, we were off the highway and headed down a narrow path alone. We had no choice but to slow down because the path was winding. Up ahead, I could see woodland.

  “Do you know this place?” I asked. We could finally speak at a respectable decibel again.

  “Yeah, I used to come here all the time when I was younger and had nowhere else to go to escape.”

  Flash stopped the bike when we couldn’t go any farther. He jumped off and then helped me down too. I looked at him questioningly, but really, I didn’t care where he was taking me. This felt like an adventure and I was looking forward to it.

  “I have something to show you,” he said and started walking into the woods. I hurried after him, my heart racing. Why did he want to show me something? Why did he want to surprise me? I couldn’t help but feel a little excited and anxious. I didn’t know what to expect.

  I followed him blindly, surprisingly even myself at the level of trust I had in this man who was practically a stranger. We didn’t stop till we were at a beautiful creek. Flash went right up to the edge and I could see him breathing in a lungful of that clean, crisp air.

  The water was crystal clear and I could see right down to its floor that was covered in emerald moss. It was so still around us, with no soul in sight except for the twittering birds that sometimes flew overhead. The thick, lush trees on the other side of the bank stood like strong soldiers, protecting us from view.

  I looked up at the blue sky and pressed my eyes close. I was allowing myself to slow down, to regulate my breathing and just enjoy this piece of heaven while I could.

  I could feel his eyes on me. When I opened them, he was staring at me. No smile. How long had he been studying me? How closely?

  “You looked like you needed to come to this place. When I was younger and needed some peace, this spot always gave me that.”

  “Did you come looking for peace a lot when you were younger?” I asked.

  Flash swung his backpack around, unzipping it so he could take out a package. I didn’t realize he’d brought packed food with him! It was like he’d thought of everything.

  “When I was younger, I didn’t exactly have any stability or peace in my personal life. So, I guess I came looking for it here, in nature, in the outdoors.”

  He didn’t look at me while he spoke. Out of the package came two chunky sandwiches. My stomach sank at the thought of that.

  I hadn’t eaten something substantial in a long time. I blushed from embarrassment. Could he tell?

  “Like most of the other guys in the MC, I didn’t have a fulfilling family life.”

  Flash reached over to hand me one of the sandwiches.

  “Thank you. This looks delicious.”

  He smirked and then sat down on a log. I went closer to him, sitting on the other edge. I was ravenous but I had my dignity. I waited till he started eating his sandwich before I bit into mine.

  “Is that why you joined the Club? Because you were looking for a family? Is that what you were looking for?”

  Flash looked out over the creek, gazing at the trees on the other side.

  “I didn’t go looking for the Club. Drax found me. At a bar. I was drinking and being a rowdy asshole. I would have gotten into some serious trouble that night if he hadn’t pulled me outside and offered me an outlet to vent my frustrations with life.”

  He turned to me then, with his gorgeous brown eyes flashing with intensity.

  “The truth is that this Club has saved my life and I will always be dedicated to it.”

  “I’m glad you have that. Something you are dedicated to. I can see the camaraderie and brotherhood that exists between you guys. It’s inspiring,” I said.

  “What about you, Allegra? What were you like when you were younger?” he asked.

  I looked down at the sandwich in my lap and gulped.

  “You look like a girl who had everything,” Flash added.

  That made me chuckle.

  “It’s funny that you say that. Most people thought that about me,” I replied.

  “And that wasn’t the case?”

  “Sure, I had some things other people didn’t.”

  “Like those long legs?” he said and I could feel my cheeks flushing again.

  “I guess that was a part of the problem.”

  “Your beauty?” he asked. It was the first time he’d made direct reference to the way I looked. It didn’t usually take people that long. I stared at him, my eyes twinkling with curiosity. What did he really think of me?

  “What I’m trying to say is that most of the time, I couldn’t tell the difference between who wanted me or wanted to be friends with me for the wrong or right reasons.”

  Flash clenched his jaws and then nodded. He’d wolfed his sandwich down and now dusted the crumbs off his hands.

  “I don’t want it to seem like I’m complaining for no reason,” I continued, trying to explain myself.

  “Don’t worry, Allegra, you don’t have to defend your feelings. You felt what you felt and I’m sure you had good reasons for feeling that way.”

  I took the last bite of the sandwich.

  “We all look back at our childhood and especially our teenage years and wish things had gone differently, right? It’s just the fact of life,” he continued. He was right. He was right about everything. I wanted to lunge at him, throw my arms around him and kiss his face. It felt heartwarming to talk to a man who ‘got it’. Who wanted to talk to me and listen to my thoughts instead of just ripping my clothes off.

  And it was this sensation which led to the wetness between my legs. To that feeling like my nipples were tightening under my shirt.

  “If you want, I could take care of that guy for you, Allegra,” Flash said out of the blue. I stared at him in horror and confusion. What did he mean by that exactly? Take care of Billy?

  I gulped.

  I didn’t know if I wanted to be responsible for serious damage done to a person. Or worse than that.

  “You don’t have to give me an answer right now. Currently, there are other things we could do,” he said and closed the gap between us on the log.

  The sandwich fell out of my hand as he pulled me to himself. Our bodies collided and I breathed in sharply when he kissed me. His lips were on mine and I felt myself melt immediately. Within seconds, I’d forgotten everything we were talking about.

  Flash’s mouth was all over me. On my face, down my neck, over my shirt and then down to my belly. He used his fingers to roughly undo my jeans and then swung me down from the log. We crashed down on the grassy ground, surrounded by fallen leaves and twigs.

  His mouth was tugging at my panties now while he peeled my jeans down to my ankles. His hands cupped my breasts while his face remained stuck to my pussy. I could feel his hot breath between my legs.

  When he tugged my panties down and pressed his face to the hot
wetness of my pussy, I thought I would come immediately. It felt overwhelmingly good, especially in the next second when he took me in his mouth.

  I gasped with delight, digging my fingers in his hair, holding him pressed close to myself. I could feel the roughness of his stubble grazing the insides of my thighs. So deliciously sexy.

  His tongue swept over my swollen clit. I arched my back and waited for more, gasping for air, my eyes rolling back with pleasure…till finally, his mouth took possession of my pussy and his tongue dove in.

  “Oh…Flash…” I murmured. My eyes were pressed shut. I couldn’t control the way my hips thrust out, inviting him further and further in. His tongue thrust in and out while his thumb made its way to my clit. All his focus and attention was on that spot of my body.

  It was too much. I knew I was dangling off the edge again and this time…I prayed and hoped for no interruption. I wanted him to make me come. I wanted to be fulfilled.

  I cried out his name again while he worked my pussy ferociously. I could feel it rising up, the knots untangling. His other hand was on my breasts, flicking my nipples. I gasped and cried and moaned till I couldn’t hold it back any longer. My orgasm took over my body and I shook with delight. My legs tightened around him, holding him in place while his tongue went in and out of me, while his thumb stroked my clit rapidly.

  It was crazy, like nothing I’d experienced before.

  No man had ever given me his full attention like this. Didn’t he care about himself? About getting off?

  I pushed those thoughts out of my head. The only thing I wanted to feel right now was the pleasure and joy gushing through my body. I deserved it. As short-lived as this was going to be. Who knew what tomorrow had in store for me?

  When my orgasm started to finally fade and my body stopped shaking as wildly, Flash moved away. His mouth was no longer on my pussy; he gave my clit one last quick swipe with his hand before he rose above me on his knees.

  “You have no idea how sexy you are,” he growled.

  I could see the desire in his eyes. We weren’t done yet. It was his turn.

  I rose up and knocked over Flash, making him crash back down on the ground. I was straddling him now, pinning his arms down. Of course, it was only pretend. That man could knock me over and overpower me any moment he wanted, but he didn’t. He let me stay in control.

  I hovered over him for a moment before I started kissing him. His forehead, nose, his lips…slowly at first till I got hungrier by the second.

  I was naked from the waist down. My pussy still felt raw and overwhelmed from that amazing orgasm, but somehow, I still wanted more.

  I could feel the tautness of his chiseled torso under his t-shirt and pushed my fingers underneath it so I could feel his belly. Then inside his pants so I could finally feel the power of his cock.

  He growled and reached for my hips. I giggled as he grabbed me tightly. I felt giddy with excitement. His cock was strong and growing, rock hard. I couldn’t wait to feel him inside me.

  When I started undoing his pants, he caught my hand, forcing me to look into his eyes.

  “We shouldn’t do anything we’ll regret later,” he said. His eyes were dark and stormy. I could see the desire in his eyes.

  “What are you talking about, Flash?” I asked.

  “Neither of us have protection. We can’t be stupid.”

  It was more like a command. I sucked in my breath. I knew he was right about this too. As much as I wanted him inside me, there was no way I could take the risk of getting knocked up.

  I undid his pants anyway and pulled them down so I could see him. In all his naked glory.

  And how glorious he was! No other man had looked this deliciously strong and sexy before. I wanted all of him. Inside me.

  I moved down his body so I could take him in my mouth. Flash lay back, his arms crossed under his head now as I began to service him, his cock in my mouth. Big and strong. I massaged his balls and tasted him. Salty. Delicious. This was the first time a man’s cock down my throat had made me even wetter.

  Was there anything this man did that could make me not want him more? I touched myself as I sucked on his cock, my clit already eager for more. I rubbed it while my sucking got harder, my head bobbing up and down over him while we both inched closer to another explosion.

  “You’re the fuckin’ bomb,” Flash growled just as he came in my mouth. I released too, shaking and shuddering over him while I swiped my tongue over and over the tip of his big strong cock.

  It was over but it felt like it had only just begun.

  Out of breath, I rolled over so I could lie down beside him. He was staring up at the blue sky. I wanted to know what he was thinking but was afraid of asking. I didn’t want to do anything to interrupt this moment of silence and peace between us.

  After all, wasn’t this the reason why he came here? To find some peace?

  Flash looked over at me and I smiled coyly.

  “We have to get back on the road. They’ll be waiting for us,” he said. I nodded, but I didn’t want to go. I wanted to stay out here with him forever. I could feel a change coming over me and didn’t know how to explain what I was feeling. Not even to myself.

  Flash

  This was not the way I had intended to return to our Clubhouse. Not only was our ride cut short, but I had a chick with me. A chick who I practically knew nothing about except the fact that she made me pant with thirst every time I looked in her direction.

  We arrived at Fifth Gear, the bar which was also our MC Clubhouse. I knew the others had already gathered there since Drax called for Church. Allegra looked curiously about her as I parked my bike.

  Our time by the old creek was already beginning to seem like a distant memory now. Nothing else mattered other than protecting the Club and our territory.

  I knew we shouldn’t have gone on this ride. We shouldn’t have left all our territory in the hands of a bunch of prospects and fresh recruits. Bolt was the only officer who was left in charge and it was too much for one guy to handle.

  I nodded at Allegra as we walked toward the Clubhouse.

  “Wait, Flash,” she said abruptly, making me stop in my tracks. “What happens from here?”

  “I don’t know right now. I don’t have a plan, but I will figure something out. First things first. I need to talk to the other guys and find out what’s happening with our MC and this stupid war that’s started.”

  She gulped and nodded. Fair enough; she wanted to know what the future held for her, but other than keeping her safe, I didn’t know what I was going to do with her.

  Besides, there was no way I was letting her go till I had her in my bed. Fucked her the way I wanted to from the first moment I laid eyes on her.

  I stepped toward the door again and she followed me.

  Fifth Gear was reeking of chaos. From what I could see, most outsiders had been banished from the place. I couldn’t even see the non-member regulars around. Except for one odd factor that I wasn’t expecting to see—

  There were chicks everywhere. Girls in skimpy clothes who I’d never seen before. Who the fuck were they and what were they all doing here? What were the guys up to while the rest of us were away? Was Bolt even keeping an eye on them? Had they been partying and fucking this whole time?

  I looked to my side and could see the surprise in Allegra’s eyes too. She’d walked into our Clubhouse for the first time and was bombarded by all these women. She probably thought this was what we were about all the time. I wanted to explain myself to her, but then figured it wasn’t needed. I didn’t actually owe her an explanation.

  “Come with me,” I said loudly over the music. She followed me through the bar and to the back where I knew I’d find Sophie.

  She was sitting on a tower of beer crates, drinking a can. Cassie was with her. When we walked in, they looked over at us and I saw the surprise on both their faces. Sophie even looked suspicious. They weren’t expecting me to bring a gir
l back with me.

  “This is Allegra. She’s going to hang with you guys for a while,” I said.

  Sophie looked her up and down. I could see her eyes narrowing and then she turned to me. She had a million questions in her head. I could see. The first one being—are you fucking her?

  “I need to get to church,” I said quickly before Sophie could ask me anything. “I’ll be back to get you. These girls will look after you till then,” I said to Allegra. She looked a little unsure of her surroundings but she said nothing.

  I left the girls behind as I walked out of the room. At least Cassie was someone I could rely on to make Allegra feel comfortable. She was pretty much just as new to our world.

  I found the others in the common room. Bolt gave me a nod when I walked in. Drax had already started the meeting.

  “Do we have footage of this attack?” he asked Bolt.

  “We did but I erased it before the cops got there. They would have confiscated it and I didn’t want them on the trail. We need to keep it between us. This is our business,” Bolt replied. The others nodded.

  “So what the fuck do they want?” Ghost asked.

  “They’re sending us a message. Attacking our store was just the tip of the iceberg. They want us to prepare ourselves,” I said.

  Drax shook his head, running a hand through his hair.

  “We need to find out what they’re planning,” he said.

  “We’ll have to go into Silver Knights territory for that. There isn’t much information on the streets. I know, I tried,” Bolt said.

  “We can do a recon tonight. It has to be tonight. We need to have our own plan before they strike,” I said.

  “Then do it. You two, take some prospects with you, find out what you can,” Drax said. He was looking at Bolt and me.

  I nodded and so did Bolt. We always worked well together and maybe it was time to put aside our issues concerning Cassie and Chip.

  Church was over. There was nothing more to discuss at the moment until we could find out more. I went over to Bolt so we could discuss the mission for tonight.
