“Then you’re all right in my book. I’ve been trying to get Judi away from that rat bastard. Life on the street is too fucking hard for a girl of her age.” Carol took a long drag on her cigarette. “You going to treat this girl well?”
It was like she didn’t exist.
“Yeah, and Judi, she’s with me and the boys as well. Nothing is happening with her. We’re going to send her back to school to finish up.”
Carol hummed. “Well, I’ll be damned. You just might be the savior we need in this beat up shitty little town.”
Piston County wasn’t a great place to settle down. It wasn’t a small town by any means and had a large upscale area where the wealthy stayed. There was the shitty, poverty stricken area where she lived and then there was the middle ground. The county was like one big line that had different classes of people all wrapped up in one.
What Lexie always found funny was the fact half of the wealthy men stopped by for a little sex from them.
She’d seen plenty of faces in Naked Fantasies. There was enough ground for Chaos Bleeds and the pimps to stay in on the action. Some of the city runaways ended up becoming part of the statistics with the pimps. Either way, if Devil was staying in town then it wasn’t going to be safe for Kayla to return at all.
Do you really think she’s coming back?
No, she really didn’t.

“I’m not here to be a savior. I’m here to make money and have a place to stay,” Devil said. He didn’t want anyone trying to build him up to be something he most certainly was not. Devil wouldn’t be the savior in a story.
“Judi owes you her life. Considering you’re not a savior, I think you’ve already got a fan base.” Carol turned back to Lexie. “Stay in touch, honey. I love to see you getting out of here.”
Carol tapped Devil on the shoulder before leaving.
“Pack your shit up. We’ve not got a lot of time.” Devil helped Lexie pack. Several men walked into the small apartment carrying out everything she owned.
She didn’t own all that much. He didn’t bother with the sofa or the few pieces of furniture that looked from another century. Kayla had a lot to answer for, along with Lexie’s fucking parents. He hated the thought of her struggling to get by.
Every now and then he found himself watching her move around. Her body caught his attention, and he couldn’t not look at her. He also noticed his men were watching her as well. When she’d been leaning over for ten minutes at a time she stood straight, pressing a hand against her back as she pushed her chest out. The sight made his mouth water, and he knew he was going to make her dance naked for him. Once she finished her dance he’d sink into her tight cunt and never leave her alone.
He’d never felt anything like this before. How had he gone all of his life without craving a woman’s touch? Devil loved to fuck women. Over the years he’d left quite a reputation up and down the state.
Walking toward his woman, he wrapped a hand around her neck, drawing her back against him. She gasped, and he covered her mouth with his own.
“The men want to see you naked. You’ve got them all rock hard for a chance to be inside you.”
She pulled away, glancing around the room. His men looked away with noticeable difficulty.
“You’re not being fair at all.” She turned away, finishing off her packing.
Staring at the rounded curve of her ass, he couldn’t resist. Slapping his hand across the rounded cheek, he loved the sound of her cry.
“Mine, remember that.”
He carried the boxes down to the van. Phoebe was putting the car seat in the back of the car. Vincent was smoking a cigarette against the car.
“Are you almost done? The agent will be ready within the hour.”
“I’m almost ready.”
“So you’re going to do this, Nick? Become the daddy and be around for your friends?” Phoebe asked, climbing out of the car. She pushed some hair off her face. He watched her slide a hand between Vincent’s, rubbing against him.
Nick Dawes was his real name. He hadn’t heard it in so long.
“I’m going to give it a try.”
“I heard it was because of Tiny.” She popped some gum, smiling at him.
Glancing at Vincent, he glared. “Tiny has a set-up. It’s working for him, and I’m getting tired of being on the open road.”
Phoebe looked over his shoulder. “Now I know why you’re giving it ago. Men, always thinking with your dicks.”
She left their side.
Looking at where she was going he saw Lexie struggling with the boy and several bags. Phoebe helped taking a bag from her shoulder. Ripper was behind Lexie, grabbing the other bag from her. He saw the interest in Ripper’s eyes. It would be all right as soon as they settled down.
Devil hadn’t claimed a woman, not even Kayla, for his own. His men would see a whole other side of him once he did.
“Thank you for this,” Lexie said, talking to Phoebe.
“Honey, I’ve got kids of my own. Believe it when I say they need a lot of care, they need a lot of care.” Phoebe moved to the trunk of the car.
“Baby, Devil’s sitting up front with me.”
Phoebe rolled her eyes. “You’ve only been in town a day, and you’re already taking my place.”
“I’ll never be on my knees sucking your man’s cock,” Devil said.
He saw Lexie was ignoring him. The lack of response from her irritated him.
Once she’d placed Simon in the car seat, he tugged her out of the car, pressing her against it.
“What are you doing?” she asked.
“You keep asking me that. It’s time for you to stop asking questions.” Slamming his lips down on hers for all to see, Devil claimed her. He reached down, gripping her ass, and drawing her leg up over his hip. Rubbing his cock against her covered core, he let the whole world see who she belonged to.
Drawing away, he kissed her nose.
Her cheeks were flushed, and a quick glance down showed her arousal.
“Don’t worry, baby. I’ll have you naked and begging me in no time.”
“Fucking asshole.” He heard her mutter the words as she climbed into the car.
Phoebe dropped her sunglasses onto her nose. “Possessive much?”
“Jealous?” he asked, smirking.
“Not on your life. I’ve got my own man to keep me satisfied.”
He really did love Phoebe. She was one of those women you just loved. She didn’t judge anyone at all. Her entire being was aimed toward helping others. Vincent had picked himself a keeper.
“Keep telling yourself that.”
“I will, Nick. I will.”
Devil rolled his eyes as she climbed in the passenger side. Lexie sat behind him with Simon in the middle and Phoebe beside her.
“Your boys following me?” Vincent asked, starting up the car.
“Yeah, I’ve got a feeling about this place.”
“Seriously, you’re going to spend money on a feeling?” Phoebe asked.
“I took your man in with a feeling, honey. It’s all I’ve got.”
He glanced down at his phone, waiting for the call from Tiny. Snitch being alive was the last thing he wanted to deal with. He knew The Skulls had the first of two drugs runs in the coming week.
Shrugging his shoulders, he pocketed his cell phone.
“You got lucky with my man, Nick.”
“Who’s Nick?” Lexie asked, speaking up.
“Asshole in the front.” Phoebe gave her the answer.
“Your name’s Nick?”
“Yeah but I go by Devil. Only annoying bitches call me Nick.”
Phoebe burst out laughing, and Vincent along with her. “Don’t worry about it, honey. I’ve learned Devil is all bark and no bite.”
Lexie wouldn’t be thinking that once he got hold of her. He intended to bite her a whole hell of a lot. Every inch of her skin would know his touch.
“Anything happen on the road?�
�� Vincent asked.
“Nope, not a thing.Got a call from Tiny about something.” The boys knew about his past in Fort Wills. The women he’d fucked, all of them willing. He wasn’t a fucking rapist no matter what Snitch tried to make him become. Tiny didn’t know the real truth of a moment himself.
The bastard held a gun to his head to try to get him to fuck a girl tied up. He didn’t know what Snitch’s deal was, but it was the first day Devil could have killed the other man. With the gun pressed against his temple, he’d reacted, grabbing his own gun and pointing it at Snitch.
He remembered the words that crossed between them as if it happened yesterday rather than over twenty years ago.
“You will fuck this bitch and show me your loyalty, or I’ll blow your fucking brains out.”
Devil saw the woman struggling against the arms that held her down. The barrel of the gun pressed against his temple showed him Snitch meant business. With speed that surprised even him, he held his own gun to Snitch’s face.
“You think you’re a big man, Devil?” Snitch asked, spitting at him.
“No, but I’m a man with nothing to lose. Tell me, Snitch, are you afraid to die?” He cocked his gun ready to meet death that day.
Pulling out of his thoughts, he glanced behind him seeing Lexie stare out of the window. She was totally innocent. The blonde wig she wore didn’t do her justice at all.
“You think you can stick around here?” Vincent asked. “Boys are missing their Uncle Devil.”
Laughing, Devil turned back to look out of the front of the car. “Yeah, I’m sticking around for a long time.”
The more he thought about settling down the more he liked it. Pulling down his visor he looked at Lexie, who was talking with Phoebe. He’d got more of a reason to stick around.
“You ever heard of a pimp known as Rob?” Devil asked.
Vincent cursed. “Bastard came around to the club over a year ago. You’d left by then, and he demanded his cut. I fucked him up and told him if he ever came around again I’d feed him his balls.”
“I caught up with him last night. He’s got girls who are not even legal. I stopped him killing a girl last night. She’s under my protection, and I want to her set up to head back to school. Scum like this around here a lot?” Devil asked.
If Tiny could clean up Fort Wills with his strict rules then Devil could have Piston County scrubbed up in no time. He didn’t have many rules at all, but the ones he did have the men abided by.
“Yeah, some real bad sorts but Rob is the worst. He only deals in kids. I think it’s because he can scare them. Takes them away from their parents and all that shit. I don’t know how he does it. Bastard or anyone like him comes near my kids he’ll be fucking dead,” Vincent said.
“That’s why I love you, baby.” Phoebe tapped him on the shoulder. “You’ve gotta love a man who’ll take care of his family.”
Looking at Lexie, he saw her smile.
No one would be hurting her at all. He laid his claim, and all it would take was a matter of time to get a ring on her finger. She would be his. Her fate had been sealed the moment Kayla handed his kid to her.
Chapter Five
With Phoebe holding Simon, Lexie was able to rest her arms as Devil led her around the building. The agent tried to get his attention talking about the benefits of owning the property. He tugged her from one room to the other. Each time he stopped she saw him looking at each corner, assessing and working on to the next.
The boys were downstairs in the main room.
“What do you think?” he asked.
“Why are you asking me?”
“You’ll be staying here with me at least until I find a place of my own.” He shut the door on the agent, tugging her into his arms. There was nowhere else for her to go. “What do you think?”
“I think you should ask your men. They’d know the answer.”
She heard him sigh. Looking up, his gaze kept her on the spot.
“You’re going to be difficult about everything, aren’t you?”
“It’s not my business what you do with your money or where you stay.” She held onto his arms afraid he’d let go. Her body was all for him being near her while her mind was torn in two. There was no way it could be possible to feel this way for a man after only just finding out his first name.
“You’re still deluding yourself.”
“What do you mean?” she asked, dropping her gaze to his lips. She knew what kind of pleasure those lips could create. They didn’t get a chance to finish what they started last night. The urge to cross her legs was strong, but she pushed it aside. No, she wouldn’t be giving in to that need. She refused to melt like so many other women before her.
“You’re under some illusion that you’re a free woman.” One of his hands went to her neck, pressing his palm to her chest. The other held her still against his body. He was so tall, and she had to pull back a little just to look him in the eye.
“What are you talking about?” she asked.
“The moment Kayla gave you my kid, you became mine. He recognizes you, and if you’re the type of woman to walk away from him then you’ve got me fucking fooled.” Devil moved her backwards until the wall stopped her. There was nowhere for her to go. He held her tightly against him.
She shouldn’t have liked the way his hand held onto her neck, but she did. Was she losing her mind to fall for man who was so fucking dangerous? Crap, she wanted him so badly. Lexie wished she’d worn a skirt. They could have been fucking right that second and gotten over this burning.
“You feel it, don’t you?”
At twenty-one years old she shouldn’t be finding Devil attractive. He was old enough to be her father, and yet the feelings inspired inside her were anything but fatherly.
“No, I don’t feel anything.”
She gasped as his hand slid inside her jeans. Buying a size bigger wasn’t the cleverest thing she’d ever done. He found the evidence of her arousal.
“Now, I know what this means.” Down his hands went until a finger slid deep into her core. “Tell me what it means, baby.”
Lexie shook her head. She refused to give in to him.
A second finger slid inside her with ease. She winced at the tight feel of him inside her. She hadn’t been lying when she told him how long it had been. Having sex had never been enjoyable to her. She knew Devil was going to knock all of her thoughts about sex out of the water.
Licking her lips, she looked up at him.
“How about this?” he asked, shushing her as a third finger was pressed deep into her cunt. She tried to close her legs, but he held her open easily with his booted feet. The man was too strong to stop her.
Don’t want to stop him.
“A little tight for you, baby?” His three fingers pumped inside her. “Are you desperate to come?”
Still she ignored him, not wanting to admit to what she needed.
“Last night you left before I could give you what your body so clearly needs.” The three fingers he’d been using inside her, he pulled up to stroke her clit.
She cried out, gripping his arm tightly. All of her focus went out of the window.
“Tell me what you want, Lexie. I can give you the world, and all I ask for from you is the truth.”
Biting down on her lip she tried to fight her reaction to him. The more he stroked, the harder it was to deny him.
He leaned down, claiming her lips. Devil sucked her bottom lip into his mouth before plunging his tongue inside.
Shattering around his ministrations, Lexie knew she couldn’t fight with him. Devil knew exactly what buttons to touch to make her his.
He caressed her clit through her orgasm. All the time she held onto him. It was her second real orgasm, and it shattered her whole world.
Suddenly, she felt the need for a man, a proper man. Her boyfriend had been a selfish prick only interested in his own pleasure and need. She wanted more, a hell of a lot more.
When she c
ould stand the feeling no longer, she gripped his hand, stopping him from giving her anymore.
Taking several deep breaths, she kept her gaze on his.
“You’re right,” she said.
“About what?”
Gritting her teeth, she held back from slapping him around the face. “I want you.”
“That’s not good enough.”
“What exactly do you want from me?” she asked, raising her voice and losing her temper.
The fingers against her clit moved back down, sliding in deep. She cried out at the fullness. Lexie also felt her cum leaking out. She’d never been so wet before.
“How about you tell me how much you want my dick inside you? I want you, Lexie. I want you on your fucking knees sucking my dick. I want to control how deep you go with my fingers in your hair.” The hand around her neck moved up, gripping her hair, showing her exactly how he wanted to hold her. “I want to come in your mouth and watch you swallow every fucking drop.” His lips were on hers in the next second, plunging his tongue inside.
He was taking over everything.
“I want to bend you over a fucking table for all my boys to see and fuck your pussy. They will know who owns you. I want my fucking brand on your ass for everyone to see.”
“I’m not a piece of cattle,” she said, whispering the words.
What shocked her the most out of his statement was how turned on she got at what he said. What would it be like to have a whole room of men watching Devil fuck her? To claim her as his own?
Wrong fucking thing to get turned on about.
“Yeah, I feel how you want it, baby. My men would be fucking their fists while I claim you, baby, wishing it was their dick inside you.”
“Stop it,” she said.
“No. I’m not going to fucking stop it. You’re going to realize your place in all of this. You’re not going anywhere.”
“This is kidnapping.” She didn’t believe a word she said.
“No. You’re free to go at any time, Lexie. But I will tell you this. You walk out of that door, you leave Simon behind, and you don’t come fucking back.”
Lexie knew he wasn’t kidding. She had two choices, stay with him and be with Simon, or leave, remaining alone.
