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 that she had to be careful, a man like Claus was dangerous and she didn’t want to get swept away in it.

“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.
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?”
“It 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.

A Motorcycle Club Romance

Justification
Chapter 1
Eva
It was my first day at Solar Cycle. It was the new place in town to tan, work out and even have a protein smoothie if that was your thing. I just liked the free services and access to the pool when I wasn’t doing classes. I was nervous, not sure if going to a public place was going to work for me, but with the offer from them, I couldn’t help but try.
I usually ran classes three days a week in my backyard or den. It was a small group, but I knew them all and it was intimate. Now I was going to be doing 2 classes a day, for five days a week and as I looked out at the sea of faces, I only recognized two and I was thankful that they had come to see me. It was going to be far different than the smaller affairs that I was used to.
While there was spinning class, kickboxing, dancing and so many other kinds of classes there at Solar Cycle, I ran the yoga classes. I liked things a little slower and yoga was a great outlet. As the class started, I started to calm down and it was good to have some new faces. Some looked like they had never done a pose before and by the end of it my class had run over by a half an hour, but I felt like I had done some good.
Caroline left with a wave, but Kensy stayed for a few minutes and after a quick shower, we did some laps before getting dressed. I wanted to get lunch and she wanted to shop, she we decided on the mall. When the conversation went back to her ex-boyfriend for the third time that day, I knew that she was getting me ready for the big shocker that they were back together.
“I figured you would get back with Dave. It was going to happen.”
“Well I know you two don’t get along.”
“I am your friend and I could care less who you date. I just hate to be around him.”
“I know, but he is coming to the party this weekend and I wanted to make sure that you are going to be okay with that.”
I nodded. What else could I do? Dave was a sleaze, hitting on me, as well as other friends in our circle. I had long since given up on the hopeless situation. They ran back and forth to each other, so I had learned just to keep my mouth shut and go with it. I didn’t want her mad at me when she got back with him. It was going to happen, so I just came out with something noncommittal about, if it is supposed to happen, it will.
Kenzy braided her black hair back quickly and I just watched her for a time. “I don’t know how you do it.”
“Just been doing it a while. If you would ever grow your hair out I would teach you.”
I felt the short strands that were only a couple of inches passed my chin. I like things simple and it was easier to just run my fingers through it in the morning and be done. “I like it short.”
“So what about the party?”
“What do you want me to say? You know how I feel about him, but I know how you feel, so it is, what it is. I just want you to be happy.”
We both knew that I wanted to say more, but I wouldn’t. I grabbed a sandwich while she grabbed a skirt and we met back at the front before going our separate ways. I still had to do another class at two and though I was early, I pulled in and turned the radio off.
I noticed a whole line of motorcycles parked on the side of the building and wondered what they were doing there. I didn’t think that it was the type of place that bikers would go, but the weather was beautiful, so if there ever was a time.
Moving towards the neon colored building, I had a feeling I was going to like buff bikers working out. The images did not do justice and most of the men in matching leather vests were young and shaved. I had imagined long beards, but several were bald and clean shaven. They were far younger than I would have thought from the stereotype. I had never seen men working out in leather before, but the view was close to hypnotic and I didn’t want to look away.
Tony smiled at me, nudging me. “Is that not the best view that you have ever seen?”
I finally looked away a little red faced and looked back up at him. I knew him from my classes. His sister was one of my regulars and he had been the one that suggested I work at Solar Cycle in the first place. He was a mess, but I had to agree with the sentiment, if not the volume that it was expressed in.
“Shhh, can’t you be good. They looked like the type that would not take well to that Tony.”
He waved his hand and looked back to where I had been staring. The meanest ones are always the biggest puppy dogs.”
I looked back at them and didn’t see any puppies in the bunch. I walked passed him and went into the small office and grabbed the sheets for the afternoon sign-up. I got paid per person, so I was hoping for an even bigger turnout than the morning class. I had already forgotten about the men I had been gawking at minutes before. I didn’t have time for fantasies and men like that.
My last boyfriend was a bad boy and though they were fun to be with, amazing in bed, they always left me with a broken heart. After Kevin, I promised myself that I wouldn’t do it again. Even if I did want to rub their bald heads and trace all of the tattoos on their muscle
d bodies with my tongue.
“Eva.”
“What?”
“You got a couple people at the front that had a couple of questions.”
I nodded, trying not to blush too bad from the thought of Kevin. He was the man that had awakened the desires I didn’t know were inside of me and it was hard to shake the feeling. It was hard to work around so many gorgeous people. There were hot and hard men everywhere. Plenty of eye candy to make it hard to think.
“I’ll be right there.”
Grabbing the other sheet and the music for the class, I went back out front and talked to some members that were asking about time and difficulty level. My beginner class was in the morning and the afternoon class was a little more difficult. They decided to come in the next morning instead and I was still left with a few minutes to kill.
Going back to the staff locker rooms, I changed into some black leggings and a loose tank top that went to mid-thigh. I was ready to get started and talked to a few of the early ones that were already getting their mats out. I knew a few more people at this class than the one that morning and it made me relax. I was starting to think I was going to like it there. It was peaceful in the small room. The walls were all glass and I could see what was going on around me, but there was none of the constant machine sounds that were usual in a gym. All I could hear is the soft sounds coming from the stereo speakers.
What I hadn’t expected was for there to be some kind of commotion in the gym. Two men started to fight, added then by several more that all in turn started fighting. I don’t know what happened, but I could see that some of the bikers from earlier were still there and they seemed to be fighting with guys dressed like them.
There was one man that was bigger than all of the rest and he seemed to be instigating the others to follow him. I backed away from the clear glass doors when they he started to get closer, but I stopped when our eyes met.
