Clinging to me, her body arches, her lips parting, and sweet moans escape her mouth. There’s nothing better. Nothing more free than the escape I get when fucking her. Riding hard against her pussy, I watch the pleasure fill her face, feel her walls tighten around my cock as she nears her orgasm.
“I’m gonna cum inside you, baby.”
“Yes,” she begs.
Raising her leg, I thrust hard and deep, filling her tight hole as I cum. Trembling beneath me, her pussy soaks my cock as she reaches her orgasm. Seeing her take pleasure from me like this, it does something to me, knowing I’m the only man to ever give it to her.
Lying above her, I can’t stop kissing her, and I know she doesn’t want me to stop either. Her legs are a vice grip on my ass, not letting me pull out of her. Caressing her cheek, I admire her subdued and loving expression.
“Today was rough for you, wasn’t it? I can see it in your eyes.”
Biting her lip, she releases her legs, and I pull out, turning us to our sides.
“Mercy told me everything that went on. I didn’t want you a part of any of that. Christian disrespected me with everything he did to you.”
Reading my eyes, she pauses before speaking, “Dom, I hate him. He treats Alee horribly and doesn’t treat me much better. I don’t…want to go back there. I don’t want to be a part of the Serpents.”
Rolling onto my back, I absorb her words with a sting. The Serpents are my life. Always have been and now the woman I love—fuck, it’s true, I love her—is telling me she doesn’t want anything to do with them. Closing my eyes, I lay there wondering if this was part of Christian’s game. Did he want her out? Did he want me to see her as weak by breaking her or push her to leave on her own?
“I’m sorry. I can tell you’re upset, but seeing what I did today, how Alee and I were treated, I don’t want any part of them.”
“Did you strip your jacket in front of them?”
“No, only Mercy.”
Her hand touches my chest, and I place my hand over it, needing to feel her, to calm the raging storm inside me.
“I asked Christian to honor his original agreement he made with Alee and to not use her as a fuck toy for the club members. He said he’d keep to the agreement and then later in the day, he made her strip for the club members and then gave her to Drake. He made his point clear to me. He doesn’t give a shit about the deal or keeping his word.”
“Enough.”
Raising from the bed, I walk around it to take a shower. I need to clear my head and think things through.
“Are you going to break up with me or kick me out?” she asks, her voice breaking.
Turning to look at her, her eyes have welled up with tears. “I asked you not to ruin what we have, now you’re asking me to choose between you and my family.”
“Dom, that’s not what I’m asking. I just…want to avoid them.”
“Avoid us, Erika. I’m a Serpent. I’m a part of them.”
The pain in her eyes is unbearable. Turning away from her, I enter the bathroom, stopping at the doorway. “Don’t leave. I want you here when I get out.”
The heat of the water running down my back does little to settle my emotions. I’m pissed. This day went to shit real fucking fast. All I wanted was for my brothers to protect her while I was being detained. Instead, Christian played mind games with her all day to the point she’s scared of us. I know that’s what that fucker wanted, for her to yield or walk away. I never want her to yield to him, respect him, yes, yield, never, but I can’t let her walk away either. She needs to choose me over her fear. She should know I’ll do anything to protect her. She shouldn’t be giving me an ultimatum. It’s her who needs to decide. If she’s loyal to me, she has to be loyal to the Serpents. There’s no other way.
Stepping out of the shower, I see her birth control, toothbrush, and makeup is gone. Muscles tightening, my anger rises. When I heard her in here, I didn’t expect she was packing her shit up. Towel wrapped around my waist, I look into our room. Sure as shit, she has her bag packed and on the bed, ready to go.
“What are you doing?”
Placing her bathroom bag in her duffle, she doesn’t look my way. “I’m not making you choose between me and them. I already know where I stand. I’ve seen this before. I’m not going to go through it.”
“What are you talking about?”
Turning to face me, her eyes are red and swollen. She’s been crying the entire time I’ve been in the shower.
“I think Christian’s hatred is deeper than you realize. My father was a Jackal before he was stripped of his colors. Christian knows that, and with my father gone, somehow, my family has become Christian’s to abuse. I’m a problem for him because I’m of no use to him nor will I submit to him. I won’t ever give myself sexually, I won’t ever deal drugs for him, I won’t ever respect him after today. I love you, Dom, more than I thought was possible to love someone, but I saw the fights my parents had. My father always chose the Jackals over her. She hated him for it. I don’t want to become them. It’s better I make the choice for us and get out of your life now before I ruin it.”
Her words are a blade cutting through my chest. I need to get this situation under control now. There’s no way in hell she’s leaving.
Grabbing a pair of jeans, I pull them on as she puts the last of her things in her bag. “You didn’t tell me about your father.”
“Because I’m more than my father’s daughter. I’m going to get out of this town and make a life for myself. One where no one knows my family and the horrible shit my last name carries.”
Reaching for her, she backs away. That incites me further.
“Erika.” Taking her in my arms, I force her against me. Tears collect in her eyes. “You’re not leaving me. Get that thought out of your fucking head, now. I want you with me. I need you. I know you feel the same or you wouldn’t be hurting like you are. Leaving isn’t an option. I won’t let you.”
Expecting a fight, my arms tighten, but she doesn’t resist. Deep down, she doesn’t want to go, and that gives me relief.
“You want to stay, don’t you?”
“It’s better if I don’t.”
Hand fisted in her long, soft hair, I pull it back, bringing her broken gaze to mine.
“So, what’s your plan then? Go back home, forget about me? You think you can do that?”
“No, I could never forget about you.”
Tears line the edges of her eyes. Backing her to the bed, I put her beneath me on the mattress, her reddish-brown hair splaying out behind her beautiful face. Taking her hands in mine, I raise them above her head as I claim her mouth, sliding my tongue between her lips, drawing her need for me to the front of her mind.
“I’d never let you.”
Thrusting against her, she moans below me.
“You’re mine, Sparrow. Don’t ever forget that.”
“Dom…” she calls into my ear, her voice needy with desire.
“Tell me you love me.”
“I love you,” she promises.
Another thrust and she cries out in pleasure.
“Tell me you want me.”
“I want you more than anything.”
My lips to hers, I unbutton her jeans, then slide them from her hips.
“If you want me, then you don’t walk away when things get rough.” Removing her jeans and underwear, I step between her legs, rubbing her clit beneath my thumb. “You turn to me when you’re afraid.”
Sliding two fingers into her wet opening, her breath catches. “I won’t abandon you because I’m a Serpent.”
Unzipping my jeans, I reach between and pull out my erection. Pulling her to the edge of the bed, I tease her swollen pussy lips with my tip.
“Trust me, baby. Trust me to protect you.”
Thrusting into her, she cries out in satisfaction. Holding the crease of her thighs, I slam into her, fucking her hard, claiming what’s mine.
I never want her to forget wha
t it feels like to have me inside her. To own every ounce of her loyalty and her love. She’ll always be mine, and tonight, I’ll do what it takes to remind her of that.
***
Curled in my arm, her hair fans across my chest, her fingers intertwined with mine. Raising our joined hands, I kiss her fingers.
“Do you love me?” her voice sounds soft, hopeful.
“If you were any other woman, I would’ve let you walk out.”
“Dom.”
Raising her chin, I look into her emotion filled eyes. “Yes. I love you.” Taking her lips, I seal my words with a kiss. Putting her hand on my face, she keeps it going, expressing her love with each passionate movement of her lips.
“I’m sorry for packing my things. For saying I was leaving.”
“I knew you wouldn’t go. You don’t want to. The things Christian did to you today scared you, I understand that, but you should’ve known I’ll handle it.” Rubbing her arm, her eyes close momentarily, enjoying the feel of my caress. “If you want to be with me, you need to accept all of me, even the darkest parts. But know I’ll protect you from that part of my life.”
“I do accept all of you. I was willing to accept the Serpents too. Christian took it too far. He changed my mind.”
“Baby, that’s what he wanted. He wanted you to submit to him or walk away from the Serpents. It’s the same way he treats every new prospect or hang around. But I’d never ask you to submit to him. I don’t expect that. You’re mine, not his. That’s something I’ll work out with him on my own time. As for avoiding the Serpents, you can’t. There’s gonna be times I want you to ride with me, come to the clubhouse or a party. If you’re with me, you know you have nothing to be afraid of, don’t you?”
Uneasiness tightens her face. “I don’t ever want to be left alone with them, Dom. I’m afraid of your brothers.”
Taking her face in my hand, I stare into her eyes, intent on dissolving the fear I see in them.
“I’d never let anyone hurt you that includes my brothers.”
Kissing me, a smile skirts her lips. “I want you to know I trust you, completely.”
“I know you do. That means something to me, so does the loyalty you showed me today.”
Hand caressing my chest, she stares up at me with absolute devotion.
“I want to protect you just like you want to protect me. I don’t want anything to happen to you. If something did, Dom, I’d fall apart.”
Something unfamiliar constricts my chest. For the first time in my life, I have a reason to be careful because I now have something to lose.
Pulling her to me, I lay her above me and let the day’s events slip away as I caress between her legs, my lips greedily kissing hers.
CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

DOMINIC
ENTERING THE CLUBHOUSE, it looks like they’re partying hard tonight, ending the weekend strong. Not long ago, I would’ve enjoyed the women drawn to it, but no clubhouse slut compares to Erika’s pussy. I feel drugged every time my cock’s inside her and I can’t get enough. She’s my addiction and my salvation. She’s opened my blackened heart and given me something more to live for. She sees me as her protector, the man to take care of her, and she’s right, I am.
With a sweep of the place, I don’t see Christian which means he’s in his office probably getting laid. Several brothers chat me up and let me know they’re glad to see me. I keep the conversations short as I work my way through the room. Getting to the bar, I take a shot of whiskey before heading to Christian’s office.
As I reach the door, I know a woman’s inside with him by the moaning and groaning sounds I hear. Opening it, I see the familiar bleach blond hair on Roxy’s head as she bobs up and down on Christian’s cock.
“That’s it, bitch. Take all my cum.”
Cleaning him off, she pulls back and looks up at me with her long, dark lashes and grins.
“Hey, Dom. You wanna join?”
“Nah, Rox, he’s hooked on some virgin tail. Hasn’t had another woman since,” he tells her, tucking his dick back in his jeans.
Roxy laughs, wiping her mouth. “Well, she’s not a virgin anymore now that Dom’s had her. I’m sure he’s tore that pussy up good.”
“Careful, Rox, he’s a bit sensitive about her,” he mocks.
In a short, black skirt and too high of heels, she moves around his desk toward the door. As she passes she reaches between my legs, rubbing my cock.
“That’s too bad. Having both of you fuck me at once was a hell of a lot of fun.”
With a kiss on my cheek, she saunters out.
The door closes and Christian smirks.
“See what you’re missing?”
“I’m not missing shit. That was a one and done. Erika fucks better than that cunt.”
“Her pussy must be something to have you wrapped around her finger like she does.”
“What’s your problem with her?” I cut to the point.
Shrugging carelessly, he leans against the front of his desk. “I don’t have a problem with her, it’s the problems she causes.”
“Problems she causes. From my perspective, she’s helped you out. Her whole family has. Buying her house moved you farther into the Jackal’s turf. You never do anything without reason. Now I know why you jumped on that deal with Alee. Convenient deal you got out of it too. Not just moving into the Jackal turf, but you gained more clients, got a stash house, then when Ditch fucked up, you got a sex toy for the club members. Tell me again how my girl is causing you problems.”
Thumbs in his vest, he scoffs. “Maybe I’m looking at it differently. My closest brother’s been distant lately. More occupied with Erika’s pussy than the club. We lost Ditch because of her and her sister. And now we’re in a retaliation war because her trash mother brought a rival gang member into my house and you had to handle it. Add in, you fucking up Drake’s face because he was playing around with her.”
Arms crossed, I glare back at him, heat rising up my neck. “Let’s back this up. Drake and Ditch are problems themselves. Ditch needed to go and I don’t know why the hell you’re still hanging onto that. In my eyes, the girls did us a favor before he cost us clients, or worse, a bullet in one of the members. Drake and Ditch both tried to make a move on what’s mine. You expect me to let that shit fly? I know you don’t, so I don’t want to hear any more about it. I’ve been committed to this club more than any other member. So I found a woman to satisfy me. Get the fuck over it. I’m still here, aren’t I? Still takin’ care of business? As for Bronx, that was a mistake of her mother’s. The woman is so drugged out, she doesn’t know what the hell she’s doing. You can’t bitch too much about that when you’re the one supplying her.”
Licking his lips, Christian lets the bottom lip slide from his teeth.
“Yesterday, you were supposed to protect her, not humiliate and scare the shit out of her. You disrespected me, brother. In a way I’m having trouble dealing with.”
Eyes meeting mine, they narrow. “If she wants to be a part of the Serpents, then she needs to know what it takes and learn to respect the hierarchy.”
“You mean respect you. She already respected the Serpents, it was you she didn’t trust. Seeing the way you treated her sister and the shit you put her through, she lost that respect. Your plan to make her submit or walk didn’t work. She didn’t back down to you and she didn’t leave me either. She’s a hell of a lot tougher than you give her credit for.”
“She’s the daughter of a traitorous drug dealer and murderer. You’re giving her too much credit.”
Closing in, my muscles bulge. “She’s more than her father’s daughter. She’s mine. She’s an extension of me. Keep disrespecting her and I’ll see it as disrespect to me. This is the last time we’re having a conversation about this.”
Turning from him, I pace to the door.
“Have her make a commitment to us publicly at the next party and I’ll drop it.”
Lookin
g over my shoulder, I deadpan.
“Don’t push me, Christian.”
CHAPTER NINETEEN

ERIKA
SHOVING AMBERLEE’S CAR door closed, I try to stop her from leaving. “You shouldn’t go if you’re worried about Ditch coming after you.”
“I need to, E. I can’t stay here.”
“You need a fix. That’s why you’re really leaving. You’re restless, bored. You want to party, fuck, and get high.”
“Well, I can’t sit around and play Susie homemaker to Dom. You’ve already taken that job.”
Before she rushed out the back door saying she was leaving, I was making us all dinner. It’s a low jab she’s making, but I know it’s the mood swings, the irritability of withdrawal.
“Let me take you to the hospital. They can get you clean. You won’t have to struggle through the withdrawals. Please, Alee. Do it for me.”
Amberlee’s tired eyes look over my shoulder as Dominic’s motorcycle rumbles behind us.
“I’ll go. I’ll drive myself. I promise. You don’t need to babysit me. You need to be here for Dom. He doesn’t look happy.”
She’s right. Turning, I see the brooding mood written on his face, but whatever it is, it can wait. I want to help her. She doesn’t have to face this by herself.
“I still want to come with you. You don’t have to go alone.”
“You’re a good sister, you know that?” Hugging me, she squeezes me tight. “I love you.” Quickly, she opens the car door and jumps in. “Take care of Dom. I’ll call you later.”
“Alee!”
Looking ahead, she ignores my plea. Frustration builds, putting a knot in my gut as her car disappears into the night.
“Baby, what’s wrong?”
“She needs help.” Collapsing into his chest, the tears flow. “I wanted to take her to the hospital, to help her get clean. She insisted on going alone. I don’t believe she’ll go.”
Wiping the tears from my cheeks, his sympathetic expression and warm touch are already working to soothe me.
“She probably won’t. The fix is more important to her.”
