Cross Your Heart: Inked Angels MC

Page 10

by Zoey Parker


  The only women in my life are the rotating cast of scantily clad groupies who keep my bed warm at night.

  So what the hell am I supposed to do with a daughter?

  I tell my men to find a way to get Gigi back to her mother.

  But they come back and tell me the girl's mom has disappeared without a trace.

  Now what?

  Just then, a woman knocks at the clubhouse door.

  I open it and freeze.

  Jamie is a knockout to say the least.

  She's pretty, but she doesn't know it.

  Sexy, but she hasn't been made to feel it.

  Eager, if only the right man were there to stoke her fires.

  That's where I come in.

  Jamie is Gigi's teacher and she's desperate to keep her favorite student safe.

  But as clues to Gigi's mom's disappearance crop up in new and unexpected places, the two of us clash and mesh with wild intensity.

  I've never felt like this about a woman before.

  I want her.

  I need her.

  I crave her.

  And I'm going to take her, again and again... Until I overdose.

  Ravage

  I’m a man of few words. The ones I use are violent:

  Brawl. Claim. Ravage.

  It was lust at first sight.

  She looked too damn nice up on that stage to pass up.

  A body that curved in all the right places.

  Skin demanding that I seize it and squeeze it.

  And those eyes…

  Eyes I’d never forget.

  What would you have done?

  I know what I did: I bought her.

  Then I took her home and let her know who she belonged to now.

  She screamed my name until the rafters shook.

  Don’t act like you would have done anything different.

  That should have been the end of it.

  But if she was just an expensive lay,

  you wouldn’t be reading this story.

  There was a whole lot more I had yet to find out.

  Only one thing I knew for certain:

  I hadn’t had my fill of Michelle.

  Not. Even. Close.

  Bounty

  A picture is worth a thousand words, but I only need three:

  You. Are. Mine.

  The life I lead isn't for the faint of heart.

  A man like me has to say what he means.

  Take what he wants.

  And fight to keep what he has.

  Erica thought she would be safe behind her camera.

  Little did she know she was teetering on the edge of the rabbit hole.

  When she sees something she shouldn't have,

  she falls in.

  She's lucky I showed up when I did.

  Without me, she'd be thrown to the wolves.

  Torn apart.

  Devoured.

  But it doesn't take long before she starts to wonder.

  Is she better off on her own…

  …or at the mercy of the beast inside me?

  At the end of the day, it doesn't matter.

  I tell her how it is:

  "Moan as loud as you want, babe.

  You aren't going anywhere."

  Trouble

  He took my sister.

  I’m next.

  My baby sister went missing over a month ago, and I’d give anything to find her. After countless hours of searching, the trail of clues leads me to Gabriel Hunt, leader of the Crooked Souls MC.

  He’s sexy, strong…

  …and the last man to see my sister alive.

  Before I know it, I’m tumbling down the rabbit hole. I’m being chased, threatened, and almost killed. There’s only one place to turn: right into Gabriel’s arms.

  He is a danger unto himself, but I can’t stop myself from craving his touch. Only time will tell whether he’ll be the key to solving my sister’s disappearance, or the last stop before my downfall.

  I thought I was doing the hunting. But I'm coming to find out that I'm the one being hunted.

  Monster

  I thought he was my savior.

  If only I’d known he was a murderer, too.

  Getting trapped in the snow was my own fault.

  For a moment, I thought I would die out there.

  So when the sexiest man I’ve ever seen pulls me back from the brink of death,

  I suppose I should be grateful.

  He takes me home, warms me up…

  …and lights a fire inside me that only his touch can heal.

  Now I’m burning with desire for Jax —

  his hands, his mouth, his body.

  I know he’s no good for me,

  but nothing can stop me from craving him.

  That is, until his past rears its ugly head.

  But by the time I learn he’s truly a monster,

  it might already be too late.

  At first, she wanted no part of me. But some kinds of darkness are hard to resist…

  I know I’m not a good guy.

  Ever since my wife died, I’ve had a single rule when it comes to women:

  One night only.

  In all these years, I’ve never broken it.

  That is, until I met Christina.

  She’s got a body like sin and a sassy mouth to boot.

  I want to f**k her until she’s hoarse from screaming my name.

  She doesn’t know I have secrets.

  She doesn’t know what I’ve done.

  And even after she discovers who I really am, it won’t matter anymore.

  She’ll have to find out the hard way:

  once you come home with me,

  there’s no going back.

  A Broken Vow

  She’s a fragile little thing.

  I just might break her.

  I thought I’d seen the last of her.

  Rose had run from danger, right into my bed.

  It didn’t take long before she was moaning my name.

  But you can’t outrun your shadow.

  When the devils of my past catch up, they take her away from me.

  I’d hunt them down, but there’s a war going on, and my club needs me home.

  Back in Texas, I follow the thread of betrayal that threatens to shatter my world.

  I should’ve known it would lead me back to her.

  This time, though, she’s on an auction block.

  I may be the one doing the bidding, but the bastards who stole her will pay the ultimate price.

  There’s no other girl I’d fight through hell for.

  This one’s different —

  She’s carrying my baby.

  A Secret Vow

  I wanted safety.

  He wanted a baby.

  An abusive fiancé had me trapped in a life I hated.

  He hit me often. Hurt me plenty.

  I knew one thing: I had to get away.

  I took the first chance I had to escape:

  With a mysterious biker I hardly knew.

  He promised to protect me.

  But when I hear what he wants in return,

  I freak.

  Out of the frying pan and into the fire.

  I’m just praying I don’t get burned.

  Growing up on the streets taught me one thing:

  when you want something, take it.

  I play fast and loose, not nice. My job running street races for the Inked Angels MC isn’t for the lighthearted.

  The women are just a perk. I’m with them for one night only — then they’re in my rearview mirror, never to be seen again.

  Until Kendra.

  There’s something about her.

  Something fragile. Royal. Worth protecting.

  Lucky for me, that’s just what she wants.

  I make her a deal: protection for a baby.

  I’ve spent my whole life untamed and racing time.

  But when it comes to Kendra,

  I’m ready to do
things slowly…

  One f*ck at a time.

  A Sinful Vow

  I'm about to marry a monster – and there's not a thing I can do to stop it.

  Olivia

  I don't deserve this.

  All I wanted was to escape my past.

  But when my brother needed me to get him out of trouble,

  I didn't have a choice.

  Now I'm standing at the altar with an animal...

  A handsome, rugged animal.

  He's going to bend me over.

  Break me.

  Swallow me whole.

  And I'm about to be his...

  'til death do us part.

  Blaze

  I don't chase girls – I replace them.

  And I thought I'd seen the last of Olivia.

  But when the survival of the club depends on it,

  I didn't have a choice.

  But now that I'm about to marry her,

  there's only one thing on my mind:

  Finish what I started.

  She might hate me, but I don't give a damn.

  I'm going to make her MINE.
