Kade kicked open the door and glared around the room in case anyone was in there. Thankfully it was empty since it was a guys’ only domain down here. He did not want his woman seeing any of the others as much as he did not want them seeing her. He walked straight to the shower bay and onto the cold tiles. With Zora still hanging over his shoulder, he turned on all the shower heads to a few degrees below scalding. The steam would warm up the room, could not have his girl getting a chill.
Zora found herself on her feet in the middle of the large glass enclosed group shower. Four heads on each of two of the solid walls with a recessed shelf under each. It may be a warehouse basement, but the room was done in dark blue tile walls with a slip proof white tile floor. A short bench sat diagonally across the space for whatever guys need benches for.
Kade watched the water pour over Zora’s sweaty form. Her nipples puckered under her tank as she met his gaze and reached for the hem of it. The fabric resisted her efforts making the removal of it now a sensual dance as she writhed and twisted to get out of it. Her shorts followed to slap wet against the tile between his feet. He pushed his own gym shorts and compression underwear down to land with hers.
Zora pulled the elastic band from her braid tail and worked it out before the water made it near impossible to get out. She stepped back to let the hot water completely soak her as Kade advanced on her. His big muscles bunching as he leaned over her in the corner, planting his hands on the wall over her. She wound her hands up around his neck and pulled him down for a kiss.
Letting her lead, Kade pressed his lips to hers. His tongue asking entrance with a lick to the seam of them. Zora’s slick tongue licked out to his as she opened for him. Hot breath, tangled tongues, lust swollen lips had them both panting.
Pushing him back, Zora ducked under Kade’s arm. When he turned to follow her, she pushed him back into the corner. Ice blue eyes on his deep blue ones, she ran her hands down his body as she slowly squatted in front of him. She looked up the expanse of him dusted in groomed golden blonde hair over his pecs and the arrow from his navel to groin. There he was groomed down too but his balls were smooth. Cupping the pair in her hand, she weighed them on her palm before gently squeezing them as she licked the drop of cum from the head of his cock.
She watched his head fall back to the wall and his eyes close on a groan as she took the mushroom tip into her mouth and then with a flick and lick of her tongue, she swallowed him down. Holding him in the back of her throat, she looked up at him as his growl echoed in the room.
He would say it again. She was fucking perfect. Kade’s balls were against her chin and her lips on his short pubs. He felt the ridges of her throat and then she swallowed. With a deep breath, she came up for air and began working him. Her hand moving in tempo with her mouth as she sucked and licked his length. Kade’s big hand cupped the back of Zora’s head then clenched in her hair, pulling her off him and to standing.
Big hands running down her back to cup her ass, Zora found herself lifted in the air again. Her back to the wall between two shower heads, Kade pushed into her body. It was her turn to throw her head back against the tile. Elbows on his shoulders, Zora grabbed his shaved skull and forced him to look at her.
Kade loved the way she was holding him with her thighs and knees like jockeys rode horses instead of wrapping around him. He grabbed her calves just above her Achilles tendons and rocked into her. A couple pumps and he was seated all the way in. Drawing back, he rammed into her at the pace he knew she liked. He watched the dark of her eye overtake the ice as she climaxed around him, calling his name. Pulling out, he held her to him as she trembled, and he spurted onto the wall under her while he roared loud enough to shake the glass behind them.
Kade’s head whipped around as he heard the door to the room open.
Hernandez stood there with his hands on his hips in a cocky stance. He looked over the man who was shielding the woman in his arms. Lucky bastard and he had not even had to chase this pussy, it was given to him by the Prez. “Tucker said he wants to check her over again after her early morning binge. And your injuries since you can’t follow orders and take anything easy.”
Kade shifted closer to Zora to keep her hidden from the man behind them. “Get the fuck out.”
Hernandez raked his eyes over the two of them again and with a shrug, left the room.
~Chapter Nine~
Zora sat crossed legged on the ottoman in the middle of the seating group of Kade’s room. She was worn out now. Her buzz was wearing off fast. Kade had carried her wrapped in a big towel that could serve as a blanket if needed up all the stairs as if she weighed nothing. He had left a trail of water with his wet shorts that had Lyndsie fussing at him the whole time.
Dressed in a men’s style under tank with the USMC logo emblazoned on it and a pair of satin boy short panties, she watched Tucker with sleepy eyes as he took her pulse and listened to her heart. “So, what’s the verdict doc?”
Kade and Sawyer stood in matching pose again behind her; arms crossed; legs spread. Kade arched his brow when Tucker sat forward to the edge of the couch to scoop Zora’s wet hair off her back so he could listen again to her take deep breaths.
Tucker ignored him and tilted Zora’s head up to check her pupils again. “How often you do that?”
Zora shrugged. She just wanted a pain pill to combat the coming headache and the bed across the room. “When I have a quick deadline and am too tired to get there normal like. Could one of you get my script from my stuff?”
Kade walked across the room to her pile of things. He resolved to clear some space for her. She did not need to live out of a trash bag on his floor. He found the orange pharmacy bottle and turned it to read the label. Mouth pursed, he walked over and tossed it on the couch next to Tucker instead of handing it to Zora.
Tucker picked it up and read the sticker. He looked to where Zora slumped in front of him, rubbing her lower back. He knew about the knifing after being filled in by Sawyer and it must be bothering her. He twirled his finger for her to turn but refused to give her the bottle. “That’s some serious shit there.”
Zora sighed and propped her chin in her hand, elbow on her folded knee when she was turned. Her hair was tossed fully over her shoulder and her tank lifted to expose the scar. “It does the job.”
Tucker prodded the scar but the woman in front of him did not jerk as if in pain, so she was good. “I think you should take something over the counter instead of these if you can. Seen plenty of people get hooked on this shit.”
Zora felt fingers lift the racer back over her shoulders and looked back. Tucker was looking over her tattoo. The big block gothic style ‘M’ with faded shading from top to bottom, then the rest in a flowing script ‘ayhem’ with a flow of curls and swirls in a vague crow shape on the end to balance it, stretching from one side to the other over her upper shoulder blades. “This is good work. For your dad?”
Zora nodded as the strap snapped back down gently when Kade growled at Tucker. She smiled. Big man was territorial. “Can I go to bed now?”
Kade sat on the edge of the bed and brushed Zora’s hair back from her face. It was nearing dinner time and she needed to eat. If she did not wake, her sleep cycles would be off. “Little one, time to wake.”
Zora cracked open the eye that was not buried in a pillow and growled at the man sitting next to her. She felt the bed shift behind her as the dogs came alert with her noise. “Fuck off.”
Kade chuckled and grabbed the blankets she had wrapped around her and flipped them off her. “Rise and shine.”
Growling into the pillow she was nestled into, Zora rolled to sitting. Glaring at the man standing now next to the bed, she raised her arms and arched into a stretch. When his eyes dropped to her curves, she smiled and then did a backwards summersault off the opposite side of the bed.
Cracking his neck, Kade watched her walk to the bag of clothes and pull out a pair of daisy duke style cut offs in black. Like hell she was wearing
those outside this room. “You better find something else to wear.”
Fastening the banana yellow bra around her stomach that matched her panties, Zora pulled her tank over it and then pulled the bra up inside into place. The bright yellow straps popped against the red of the tank she was still wearing. Pulling on her knee high boots, she zipped them up her inner calves. “When you buy my clothes, you can tell me what to wear.”
Kade would have started after her if the dogs had not stood between them. He needed to get them to stand down to him if this was going to work because that woman needed her ass beat, frequently.
Kade found Zora sitting on one of the large couches in the living area on the next floor when he finally got the dogs to leave him alone. He had a feeling she called them since they turned and left at a run to find her as a pack. Harry and Lloyd were hooking up the karaoke machine while the others in the room were all eating the pizza that had been delivered earlier. He stood watching Zora chat with Tucker with a slice folded in half in her hands.
It was when Hernandez sat down on her other side, closer than was necessary since the couches were huge, that Kade stepped fully into the room. He watched Zora turn to the uninvited man running his finger over the ‘M’ of her ink. The look on her face said she was ready to rip off his balls and feed them to her dogs. He stood back to see how she would handle him. Tucker looked over the back of the couch at him with raised eyebrows.
Zora turned to the man with his finger running over her shoulder. Most men would run from the look on her face but this one seemed to have a death wish as he just smiled bigger. “Can I help you?”
Hernandez ran his finger along the bra strap showing over her shoulder to the front where it turned into part of her bra, his fingers stopping where the swell of breast started. “Since Kade wasn’t man enough to take you down, you want to roll around with someone who more than can?”
Zora pursed her lips and flicked her eyes up and down the man seated next to her. “And you think you’re him?”
With his smile turning to a smirk and lick to his lower lip, Hernandez leaned in closer, his gaze on the plush lips in front of him. Fuck the Veep, if he wanted this woman, he was just as entitled to play for her. “I know I am. Pequeña zorra, I am more than man for you.”
Little fox. Far from the translation to her name. Zora sat back a little, laying her slice on the paper plate in her lap and then tossing it to the coffee table in front of her. “Really? And you don’t think Kade will have something to say about you and I hooking up?”
Taking that as confirmation that she wanted him, Hernandez placed his hand on Zora’s knee and gave it a squeeze. “Rule is pussy chooses. There won’t be anything to say.”
Since he had groped her during the pat down, Zora had disliked this man. With lightning fast reflex, she snapped her fist out, connecting with his nose. There was a small cracking sound and blood ran down Hernandez’s face.
Tucker grabbed Zora as the man she hit lashed out, taking the punch meant for her on the shoulder as he pulled her to his other side. Just as quickly, Kade pulled the man over the back of the couch and his hand connected with the already broken nose as he straddled him on the floor. The sounds of fists on flesh filled the large room as others ran to pull Kade off.
Zora tried to leap over the back of the couch, swearing at Tucker who held her back. “Stay out of it, you don’t need hurt. Let someone else break it up.”
Trying to yank out of the arms around her waist, Zora snapped her head back trying to connect with the man holding her in a head butt. “Fuck break it up. I want a go at him again.”
Sawyer and Ghost, the only two as big as Kade in the room stood holding him as several others drug Hernandez’s unconscious body from the room. Sawyer chuckled at the woman Tucker was having a hard time keeping contained. She sure was made for his friend. Did not need him to fight her battles and could kick his ass too in the end if needed. “Pipe down pip squeak, it’s over.”
Kade wrenched out of their hold and walked over to the woman half over the back of the couch. Grasping her face in his hands, he bent down and took her lips in a kiss that had the room erupting in whistles, cat calls and cheers. “You okay?”
Zora nodded as best she could stretched as she was by his big hands from her position. “I could have taken him.”
The crowd cheered her statement.
Kade sat with a beer in hand as his woman took the floor in front of one of the big screens that was now wired for karaoke. Harry and Lloyd had begged her to sing with them. His hands screamed as he flexed them, but damn it felt good to knock the shit out of Hernandez. Zora’s knuckles of one hand had an instant ice pack tied to them. She was a brawler. He liked that. It had only been a few days, but he was picturing a patch on her that read ‘Property of Kade’ with the club’s crow and skull.
Sawyer plopped down next to him. “I know that look. Seen it a time or two on others.”
He watched Zora look up from where she was crouched scrolling through the laptop that held the sing-along program. “I think I’m fucked.”
Sawyer chuckled. The opening bars of Meant to Be of Bebe Rexha’s came out of the speakers. The room’s attention turned to the trio. Harry and Lloyd for being as dumb as they were, could sing. The focus was on Zora, most had not heard her sing yet.
Zora belted out her part of the song, not needing the lyrics on the screen. “I ain't gonna lie, ain't gonna lie. 'Cause I'm tired of the fake love, show me what you're made of. Boy, make me believe.”
Harry and Lloyd picked up the Florida Georgia Line part. “But hold up, girl, don't you know you're beautiful? And it's easy to see.”
And then they harmonized perfectly. “If it's meant to be, it'll be, it'll be. Baby, just let it be. If it's meant to be, it'll be, it'll be. Baby, just let it be. So, won't you ride with me, ride with me? See where this thing goes. If it's meant to be, it'll be, it'll be. Baby, if it's meant to be.”
The room was absolute silence and then the cheers rang the rafters. Zora ducked behind Harry as Lloyd raised her hand with the mic. Perfect way to let the night’s fight be forgotten. And maybe a hidden message to Kade.
~Chapter Ten~
Kade woke to an empty bed again. The woman kept weird hours and the weeks prior had more than proven it. But this shit was getting old. Picking up the phone on the stand next to him, he squinted at the read out. Just after seven. Did the woman not know the meaning of sleep in? Then he noticed the weight on the blankets as he shifted them to get up. Looking over his shoulder, he saw the dogs looking back at him. Where the fuck was she that the dogs were still here with him?
Jumping from the bed, he pulled on a pair of jeans and tee shirt. Boots in hand, he walked from the room to the door across the hall. Pounding on the steel door with his fist, he waited for Sawyer to open up.
Sawyer opened the door in a pair of gym shorts, rubbing his head making his hair stand out in every direction. A lump in his bed said he had not slept alone. “What the fuck?”
Kade waved the boot in his hand as he had pulled a sock and the other one on while waiting for Sawyer to answer. “My thoughts exactly. Zora’s gone.”
Sawyer rubbed his hand over his chest. “Can’t be. We got her locked down. Had her that way for weeks now.”
Kade waved his hand to the dogs standing in the hallway behind him. “Really? Then why did I wake up with them and not her?”
Sawyer became fully alert. Walking down the hall, he pounded on Tech’s door before turning to the steps and running down three levels to the basement. He stood in the ops cage and waited for his men to join him and Kade. “We’ll find her.”
Tech came in with a jumbo coffee cup which he held out of Sawyer’s reach when the Prez reached for it. “Hands off. And she ain’t left. I would’ve got an alert on her car tracker like on everything else on my phone. It ain’t moved.”
Weasley came into the room and held out his hand. Setting on his palm was a tracker. “Found this laying perfectly in
the center of the spot where her car was parked.”
Kade grabbed his head, running his hands roughly down his face, he growled. “I am so beating her ass when we get her back.”
Tech had his screens powered up and was tapping away on two different keyboards. “Got her cell off, if she even took it. Got nothing on her car. Checking surveillance to see how she got out.”
They watched as he stood and flicked the big screen, pulling up the footage for the compound. The program zeroed in on movement with the coding Tech had running. The roof access opened and then closed as a dark clothed figure came out. Zora walked across the expanse to the edge on the side where a second warehouse stood that was converted to apartments for members’ families like the one on the other side was being rehabbed into.
The club officers watched as Zora backed up to about halfway and them took off running. Kade growled as she leaped the distance, tucking and rolling her landing. She then went down the fire escape into the fenced yard of the club and to her car. She walked around it with a device in hand before stopping and wiggling under it to remove the tracker. Pulling out, she stopped to place the device in her spot. At the gate, she stood next to the control panel and used another device to override control. She had to manually open the huge steel portal, but she muscled it open and drove out before closing it behind her.
“Where did she go?” Kade was standing at attention with his hands clenched as hard as his jaw.
Tech was tapping keys, cameras all over the city picking up glimpses of her as she drove out of town. The last shot of her was her parking in the lot of a little gas ‘n go before walking out of frame in the back. “Sorry boss, all I got of her.”
Tucker stood looking at the screen and the little black car, his head cocked as he started thinking out loud. “She isn’t going anywhere on foot. The only thing out there is undeveloped land. Had to have a second vehicle or someone waiting for her. What else is on that end of town?”
