ROMANCE: MC BIKER ROMANCE: Hooked (MC Biker Pregnancy Romance)(Bad Boy Motorcycle Club Romance) (Contemporary Military Romantic Suspense Thriller)

by Carly White

  She paused, not sure what to say. IF she told her the truth, then Denise would know what she had almost done. “I just figured that is what happened when you took off together. I mean, it doesn’t take a rocket science to see that you were digging him on the dance floor.”

  “Yes, he is not usually my type, but he was better than I would have thought. No one is as good as Claus, but he was almost as good. Jeff is nicer though, so it kind of works out.”

  Anai wanted to ask more about Claus and what it was that he was so good at. Her body knew that he was the one to give her pleasure, but hearing it from Denise just made it more of a fact. There was something about that man, a raw intensity that was impossible to deny and she didn’t want to. All she had to do was get up the courage to tell her cousin that she wanted him. Since she had moved on, surely it wouldn’t be an issue. There was the girl code though and in that way he was off limits.

  She finally just decided to say nothing. Anai could still go see him as a friend. That is what he had suggested. “Sounds like Jeff is the way to go.”

  “I know, but Claus… You just don’t understand. He has a way with his hands.”

  Anai wanted to hear more and nothing at the same time. She could imagine that he was all kinds of wild in bed. All she had to do was look at his eyes when they darkened to a black. He was just as needy as she was.

  “I don’t know Denise. I can’t keep up with one guy, let alone any more than that. Most guys are not going to want to share, but you have to pick one of them.”

  “But I don’t want to.”

  She had to laugh a little by the way Denise’s voice sounded. It was like she was five and couldn’t agree on a sucker or gum. “I hope that all works out for you cuz. Too complicated for me. What are you doing tonight?”

  “I don’t know. Jeff wants me to come see him at the game, but it could get weird.”

  “I can go. You know, as a buffer for you, so it won’t be so weird.” Anai just wanted to see Claus and running into Denise in another way would be awkward.

  “Yeah that sounds good, though I can’t believe you are going to take a day off from studying to go to a game. That’s not like you at all.”

  “I have to do something. I run into Jeremy at least twice a day for class and I just can’t concentrate. I figured a night out might help that.”

  “I won’t take off on you this time though Anai, I promise.”

  Anai told her to swing by on her way, not saying anything about her last comment. Anai in a way wanted her to take off so that she could be with Claus alone. Whether it was right or wrong, being friends with him was better than not being around him at all. Deep down, Anai hoped that her cousin would pick Jeff and then Claus would be open to have for herself. It was wrong, she knew that, but there was something about the way he was that drew her in and she couldn’t help herself.

  Chapter 7

  Claus kept looking up into the stands, scanning the crowd for someone in particular. “Who are you looking for Claus?”

  He stopped and glanced at Jeff beside him. “I just hoped that someone I invited would come. It looks like she had something better to do.”

  “You aren’t talking about Denise are you?”

  Claus gave him a look of puzzlement. “Denise? Why the hell would I want her to come here?”

  There was a moment of tightness of Jeff’s face, before he relaxed, seeming to make up his mind about something. “I wanted to talk to you about her.”

  “What about?”

  “Are you two together?”

  Claus shook his head that they weren’t. “We fooled around a couple of times, but nothing serious. She isn’t saying that we are, is she?”

  “No, she played it off like it was nothing as well when I asked her about it. I don’t want to do something against you, but I like her a lot and if you are done with her, I am going to see if she will give me a chance.”

  “You’re serious?”

  Claus was dumbstruck for a moment. Of course he was serious and since Jeff didn’t usually like anyone, he was kind of glad that it happened. Denise did have a way about her and if Claus wasn’t looking for more, than he would have been happy with her in his bed. But Claus wanted more and it was more than Denise could give him. With Denise out of the way, it would leave him open to pursue his own interest.

  “Yes I am Claus. I care about her a lot and I invited her here tonight.”

  “So you were going to be with her, no matter what I said huh?”

  “It’s not like that.”

  Claus couldn’t be angry, but he was a bit surprised that he had no problem to go over his head with it. What if he had been in love with her?

  “I mean Claus you pushed her on me so you could flirt with that other chick. I saw you two in the corner by the bathroom, so let’s not pretend like you care.”

  “I don’t, you’re right. She is not for me, so you know that I wish you guys the best.”

  “It’s that cousin that you are into isn’t it?”

  He shook his head. It was hard to hide his feelings, some that he wasn’t used to feeling. It had been a long time since he wanted a woman so much and even longer since he had even thought to put himself out there.

  “There they are.”

  Claus looked back and saw the two blondes together and they seemed to be as deep in conversation as they were. He wondered what they were talking about. He didn’t have time to worry about it, because the game was getting ready to start and because there were people there to see him, he wanted to make sure that he did his best. He had to with Anai watching from the stands. Her being there gave him hope that it would somehow work out.

  “So I see you looking at Claus Anai. You know that it isn’t worth your time.”

  “I thought you said he was the best.”

  Denise blushed for a moment and then nodded. “He is, but he is not there. Claus got his heart broken and I don’t think he is capable of loving anyone.”

  “What could be so bad that would make him that way?”

  Anai had seen the pain in his eyes when they were together before. It was always way back in his expression, but there in his dark depths for all to see if they just looked. She knew that something had happened to him. He had the vulnerability of someone that had been through too much in too short a period of time.

  “His ex-girlfriend, the coach’s daughter, got pregnant and took care of it before he could actually say anything about it. She told him, dumped him and then left the school in the same day. He was devastated and started to get into trouble, drinking. I just don’t want you to get hurt trying to fix him.”

  Denise’s words surprised her cousin. They were far more insightful than she would have given her credit for. It was clear that Denise had spent some time trying to fix him and it hadn’t worked out for her. Was Anai so much different than her? How would the outcome be any different than it had been for her? While Anai wanted to think that there was a connection, two broken souls that could find mending in each other, Anai started to wonder if it was just fanciful thinking on her part.

  The two were quiet for a time and it gave Anai time to watch him in action. It was the first time she had been so swept up in the moment and the first time that Anai had seen Claus smile in such a way. He was enjoying himself and there was no two ways around it, he was gorgeous. When it came to half time and he took his helmet off and looked up at her, she wanted to be the one that could save him. Needed to be the one.

  “I knew you had a thing for him cousin, just be careful.”

  Anai couldn’t heed her warning. She did have a thing for him and even though he wasn’t her type, Claus was what she needed. She needed more touch and less talk, something that he seemed to be able to provide. She had not asked for her cousin’s permission, but she had gotten it anyways. She smiled back down at him and fought the urge to wave.

  “Just be careful.”

  Her words clanged around in Anai’s mind. She knew th
at she had to be careful, a man like Claus was dangerous and she didn’t want to get swept away in it.

  Chapter 8

  “You came.”

  “I did. You played well.”

  Claus wanted to kiss her, but she was keeping her distance. He looked back to see Denise kissing his friend. Jeff apparently had less problem with public displays of affection. “You want to get a drink?”

  She nodded. “Yeah, they serve beer at the stands.”

  “No I was hoping for a more intimate place. Do you have anything at your place?”

  Anai paused for a moment. It was clear what he had in mind and even though her body wanted it, her mind was still not sure. The warning that she was given by Denise still rung in her ears and she wondered if she was on a fool’s errand thinking she could change his ways. She wanted to think that he was an enamored, but Anai couldn’t be sure. When he asked to go to her place, she didn’t know what to say.

  “I mean, we can go somewhere else if you want to.”

  “No, my place is fine. I drove here with Denise though.”

  She wanted to see his reaction to her name, but there wasn’t any. “I’ve got my car out back.”

  Anai agreed and could feel her body nervously trembling as she walked with him to his car. He had taken off most of his uniform, leaving only his shirt and tight pants underneath. Anai tried to ignore the way the fabric stretched on his thick, muscular thighs. After getting in, Anai worried herself with the scene outside of the window.

  “You’re quiet this evening.”

  “Yeah, just enjoying a little quiet after the game. It was good, but very loud.”

  “It was the first time I had played a full game in a long time.”

  “Why is that?”

  “I didn’t have anything to be upset about.”

  She was already tempering the beast in him, not evening knowing it, but Claus seen it for what it was. He finally wanted more than chaos again and it was because of her. He wanted to be worthy, good enough for her and he knew that him as he was, he was not. But to put that into words was beyond him. Looking over, he tried to fight back the feeling of need that he felt for her. They hadn’t kissed or touched and it was all he wanted to do. He wanted to feel her body against him and the more he tried to fight the desire, the harder it became to do so.

  He moved his hand to her jean-clad knee and waited for a reaction. Her thigh felt small under his large palm and he gripped her as he moved slowly up her leg. Anai looked down at where he touched her and didn’t say anything in the way against it. Instead, she slid down further in her seat, moving his hand inches up her thigh. Her eyes closed as he moved higher, stopping just where she needed him. Claus was teasing her and himself, afraid that he would not be able to stop once he started. They were still minutes from her house and he was running out of control the closer they came. When she grabbed his hand and moved it to her core, the heat burned his hand. Claus pulled away like she was on fire and she kind of giggled.

  “I didn’t take you for the shy type Claus.”

  “Do you want to do this in a bed or right here on the side of the road?”

  His intensity in his eyes silenced her and she turned away finally, moving her hand off of his as well. Anai would have done it right then and there, but she couldn’t get the words out. He took her silence as shyness, but it wasn’t so. She wanted what he had to offer, but she had never had a man look at her like that before.

  “That’s what I thought.”

  The ride back was quiet and there was a tension building with each block that they passed, getting closer to the time when they would be together. When the car finally stopped, Anai found her hands trembling slightly as she opened the door. Claus was out and waiting for her while she tried to get her hands on her keys. She tried to calm herself so that it wouldn’t be so obvious when she put the keys in the lock, but after a sound of frustration, he took the keys and did it himself. Claus waited only a second after she was inside to close and lock the door behind him. He didn’t want anyone to stop what needed to happen between them.

  She looked back at him as she walked into the back bedroom and then into the bathroom. She turned on the shower and then started to undress. Claus followed her back and as she pulled her shirt off and then went to her jeans, he stopped her with his voice. “What are you doing?”

  “Starting the shower for you. You are all hot and sweaty.”

  Claus couldn’t be bothered as she peeled her jeans off her long legs and then unhooked her bra. She turned back around, showing off her creamy white skin to his eyes as she held her bra up to cover herself. His eyes darkened as she moved the material away and he was able to get a full view of her. He moved forward for a kiss, but she stopped him. “Not with your clothes on.”

  Pulling her panties off and tossing them, Anai moved to the shower and shut the door to warm herself. She watched him struggle to pull off his clothes through the opaque shower door. He almost tripped and she had to stop a giggle that quickly died in her throat as he moved to open the door. In clear focus his body was much harder than she had anticipated. He looked nothing like Jeremy naked. Jeremy looked like a boy compared to Claus, who looked like a man.

  Her hands went to his chest, bracing herself as he pulled her in for a kiss. There was no hiding anything and his hands were all over her, while his mouth ravaged her senses. Anai had lost whatever dominance or control that she had first thought to have once his lips touched her. She was lost with the feel of his hands on her hot flesh, his need pressing up against her stomach. He was ready for more and when his fingers pressed in between her nether lips and found her wetness more than the hot water washing over them, Claus picked her up as she grasped his neck to hold on. She was up and he was pressing against her before she realized what was happening.

  “Open your eyes Anai.”

  She did slowly as she felt his hardness prodding against her. His arms trembled slightly as he held her up and away from his body, his manhood ready to spear her at any second. When their eyes finally met, he let her go, gravity making her crash down on his full length. He was larger than she was used to and every inch seemed to be stretched to accommodate his wide girth. Anai clung to him, whispering his name in his ear as he stilled, throbbing deep.

  Her eyes were closed once more and her legs were hooked as tight as her arms. Claus didn’t seem to notice and just grabbed her hips and pulled her up to drive down again on his length. Each time he did that, her eyes clenched tighter, as well as her insides. Anai cried out, his name on her lips as he started to move faster inside of her. He leaned her back against the shower wall so that he could slide deeper, faster.

  Anai came hard, her body suffocating his movement till he too was stopped in his tracks. Every squeeze of her insides, made him want more. When he felt the rush of fluid as she came around him, Claus was left to fill her with his own seed, the orgasm taking him by surprise. Pressing her shoulders down as his hips thrust upwards, Anai was panting and gasping, trying to take the sudden extra inch and the massive heat that poured and filled up every crevice.

  Unlacing her arms and legs, Claus finally pulled free of her heated embrace with a groan. Anai sighed. His leaving sent fluid down her inner thighs and relief to her battered insides. “Oh my God Claus.”

  He didn’t answer her, just turned her around and started to soap up her back, his hands moving to her front. Anai was in heaven, her eyes closed once more so that his every touch was intensified with less wasted senses. His thick fingers were slick on her skin and when he moved down to where she was the most sensitive the bubbles made the touch feel different. She was quickly gasping and moaning as he rubbed her slowly. When he moved away, her lips whimpered out her misgivings. “Please don’t stop.”

  She felt his need slide between her legs and if she would have looked down, she would have seen it clear to the other side. “If I don’t, I will never want to.”

  “Is that such a bad thing?”

  “I
t can be.”

  Anai turned around and touched his face. The length between them slid back where it was before, the slipperiness of her frothy skin helping. He groaned and his dark eyes held her where she stood. “I’m not other girls Claus. I won’t do anything to hurt you. I couldn’t.”

  He moved to kiss her lips softly, wanting to believe her. Anai wasn’t the same and it was half the reason he was so attracted to her. His heart felt safe in her hands. When she started to soap him up as he had her, his hand stopped her on his stomach. “I’m clean enough.”

  The water was getting cold and he turned it off, pulling her out as they made their way to the adjoining bedroom. He threw her down onto the bed as she gasped. She had not been expecting the raw animalistic look in his eyes. He was claiming her and as he slid back in and demanded she look at him, Anai knew that she was already his. Her body exploded underneath him again and again, as the man’s stamina increased with the first one out of the way. It was her that begged for him to finish, to give her his need that finally pushed him over the edge.

  When he pulled out of her, she was sore all over and just wanted to doze off. Claus pulled her receptive body to him and she sighed against his hard chest. “You know I am not very good at sharing Claus.”

  He pulled her tighter to him. “Good, neither am I.”

  “I see you have gotten your voice back. Am I to think that you have more energy now?”

  His hand moved to tweak her nipple and she whimpered. “No, not that much energy. I won’t be able to walk if you keep up.”

  “I don’t know why I like the sound of that so much.”

  Claus bit her neck and she finally sat up to face him. He had that smile back on his face, the free abandon that he had had on the field. “So what happens to me when you become a big hockey star? Will I be one of your groupies?”

  He shook his head and pulled her back down to him. “I only need one and as many fights as I get into, it will be good to have a lawyer on my side.
