Ember's Burn: A Steel Demons MC Novel

by Annelise Reynolds

  He pulled away, and I listened to his movements. When he returned, his lips found mine, lightly touching. I wanted to deepen the kiss, but he wouldn't allow it. He moved to my neck, and I arched it back to give him better access. The first sharp poke got my attention, and I tried to pull away. Whatever it was, was rolling on my skin poking as it went. It didn't hurt, it felt kind of good, but it scared me. “Stop,” I cried out. Immediately the tool was taken away, the blindfold removed, and he was working on the cuffs when I asked him what he was doing.

  “You said stop, McKenzie. I stopped. This is what I meant by you giving up your power, means you gain all the power. It’s ok, we will try again later on.” He put the cuffs and the different toys in the drawer beside the bed, then lay down beside me. “For now, I'll just make love to you.”

  Titan pulled me close and held me tight.

  “You stopped.” I was shocked he stopped. I didn't have to beg, plead, cry, or scream. I didn’t really mean for him to stop either, what he had been doing had felt so amazing, but it scared me at the same time. He just stopped at one word.

  “Always, McKenzie.”

  I rolled on top of him, my chin resting on his chest. His hard cock was nestled against my wet panties. I wished they were gone, and they would be soon, but I had to ask one thing first. “When you had me tied you called me Ember. Why do you call me McKenzie every other time?”

  “I will only ever call you Ember when you are submitting to me.” His hands grasped my hips and he moved against me. The lace of my wet panties rubbed against my clit and his cock, causing me to groan. I wanted my panties gone, but I didn't want to move out of his arms. I pulled myself up, bracing my hands on his chest as I rode the hard ridge of his cock through the thin fabric, but I needed more.

  Titan slipped his fingers through the wet lace panties and pulled, tearing the delicate fabric apart until they were held together by a small portion of the woven strands. He grasped my hips once more and impaled me slowly on his thick cock.

  Every thick, solid inch of him pushed into my tight, wet pussy. I groaned as I sank down inch by delicious inch. He moved his thumb to my clit and circled the wet nub. My body clamped around him, causing us both to moan and him to slide deeper until he was fully embedded inside me.

  “Ride me, McKenzie.” I didn't really know what to do, so I decided to just do what felt good to me, hoping it was good for him too. I started slow and awkwardly, rocking back and forth, it felt good, but I wanted more. Soon I started moving up and down his thick cock, his thumb working my clit. He brought his knees up behind me, pushing me to move up further on his shaft. My breasts rising and falling heavily as my breath came in pants, bouncing as I rode him. “Lean back, baby, put your hands on my knees.”

  I did as he said, and the angle of his cock changed. He rubbed against this place deep inside me. With every upward thrust he made, I matched his pace. My body was quivering as my orgasm approached. When he sat up, he bit on my nipple just hard enough to push me over edge.

  “Jason!” I cried out as I trembled and quaked from the inside out. He thrust a few more times and came deep within me, my muscles convulsed around him, drawing out the pleasure for both of us.

  When his legs lowered back down, I resumed my earlier position laying on his chest. We were both gulping in air, trying to catch our breaths. An aftershock ripped through me, and since he was still buried deep in me, he groaned. I chuckled, and he bucked up with his hips.

  “If this is the only way I can have you, McKenzie, it will be enough.”

  I moved up and kissed his lips, it was the first kiss I initiated between the two of us. “Time, Jason, give me time,” I whispered.

  I woke with a raging hard on, and McKenzie’s firm, round ass nestled against me. Her panties were still on, though pointless with the crotch ripped mostly out from our last bout of sex. I pulled her more firmly against me and rocked my hips. It was sweet torture feeling the lace covered globes of her ass rub against me. She sighed in her sleep and snuggled closer.

  The temptation was too much. I swept the hair away from her neck and kissed the slender column as my hand ventured down to find her already wet pussy. She squirmed beneath my touch, her body responded to me, her hips moving against my hand, seeking more…

  Using my knee, I spread her thighs, opening her to my seeking fingers. I cupped her and slipped two fingers inside her.

  “Jason,” she gasped as she started to ride my fingers and grind her clit onto the heel of my hand. I turned my hand and moved my thumb over her clit, and still she rode. The skin on her neck tasted salty with a fine sheen of sweat from her exertion. She tasted delicious. I sucked and nibbled on her neck, biting lightly on the flesh. I wanted to mark her, claiming her as mine. I wanted her to look at my mark anytime she saw herself in the mirror and know she was claimed.

  “Come for me, McKenzie.” I bit down on her neck, beneath her ear, and she shuddered as her body flew apart. The orgasm ripping through her as she wrung every ounce of pleasure from her release.

  When her body finally started calming down, I hooked her top leg over my forearm and guided my cock into her welcoming heat. “Fuck, yeah,” I groaned when her pussy clamped down on me as I entered her slowly from behind. My thrusts started out short and slow, and it wasn’t long before she was begging for more.

  “Please, Jason.”

  “Roll with me, baby, up on your hands and knees.” Together we rolled, my cock still buried inside her. When we were in position, I was able to go deeper and faster as I moved inside her. I threaded my fingers through her hair, and gently tugged back, using the force to help her slam on my cock harder. She was meeting me thrust for thrust. “Fuck, that’s good, McKenzie.”

  “Don’t stop.”

  “Not gonna happen, baby.” I pounded into her from behind, her neck was up and her eyes closed as I held her hair in my fist, fucking her hard and fast. She had no idea what she needed, but this was just confirmation that she needed that bite of pain and pleasure. Her pussy was soaking wet as I slipped easily inside her tight body with every thrust. Her moans and gasps of pleasure as I slammed into her told me everything I needed to know.

  “JASON,” she cried out, as she shattered around me. Her cum squirting over my cock, triggering my own orgasm.

  “Mine, McKenzie.” I continued to thrust inside her. “This pussy is mine, and nobody is ever going to have it again but me. Tell me it’s mine.” She didn’t answer right away, so I snaked my hand around her front and found her sensitized clit. When I touched it, she shrieked and pushed her hips back trying to dodge the touch to her oversensitive flesh, but it just drove me further inside her. “Tell me.” I wouldn’t let her get away from me.

  “Yours. I’m yours.” Her pussy clamped around me again in excitement and need. We both groaned as I wrung one more orgasm from her before allowing my own. I felt like I wouldn’t stop cumming, as she drained me with her greedy, wet pussy.

  I fell beside her. “Damn, baby, I thought you were going to break my dick off you were squeezing me so tight.”

  “I’m sorry,” she said self-consciously.

  “Don’t apologize, I want you to do that every time, because it was fucking amazing.” I lay beside her, staring at her beautiful face. Her eyes were closed and a soft smile played on her lips.

  She must have felt my gaze because she turned her head, looked at me and smiled. “You know, you destroyed my favorite pair of panties.” She brought her knees up to take the ripped fabric off. Her position made me think of fucking her with her feet propped on my shoulders, and I started to get hard again.

  “No, I made your favorite pair into my favorite pair too.” I was about to move to take her again, but noticed the darkening sky outside the window. “Shit,” I said, looking at my phone on the table beside the bed. “Let's go, baby, we’re already late.”

  “Titan!” she shrieked when I picked her up and carried her to my shower. It was small and crampe
d when I was alone, for the both of us it was the perfect size. I washed her hair. My fingers rubbed against her scalp, and she purred, so I did it again. “Mmmmmmm, that feels so good,” she whispered.

  “Fuck, McKenzie.” My cock was hard enough to pound nails again. All those months of having blue balls caught up with me and I was making up for lost time. “Damn, baby, you shouldn't have moaned like that.”

  I turned her around and stretched her arms above her head, bracing them there with my own. Her breasts thrust outward at me and lifted. I took a wet, hard peak into my mouth and sucked hard, knowing she liked it that way. She squirmed against me. With my other arm, I lifted her, her legs locking around my waist as I pushed inside her. I looked at her, her eyes were closed, and her teeth were biting into her plump bottom lip.

  “Look at me.” She did as I commanded, and I saw her green eyes clouded with desire and passion. I pounded into her as I held her gaze, not allowing her to look away. I felt everything, every quiver of her pussy as she pushed me closer to the edge.

  We came together, her eyes slammed closed as she shook with her climax. I rested my head on her shoulder and she wrapped her arms around me, clinging to me.

  “Tell me you love me,” I whispered against her soft flesh as the hot water cascaded down on us.

  “No.” Her voice shook, and I knew she was lying to herself as much as to me.

  “I love you, McKenzie.”

  “Why?” A tear slid down her cheek, and I brushed it away with the pad of my thumb.

  “Because you are mine: heart, body, and soul, you belong to me. I’m a Demon, baby, I will go to the gates of hell and face the devil himself to make you mine. Tell me you love me.” I cupped the side of her neck and waited. When she didn’t answer or say anything right away, I pulled back to give her the space she needed. She loved me, it was in her eyes, she just needed to come to terms with it.

  “I love you, Jason.”

  I hadn’t uttered those words since I was fourteen, before my mother passed away. Dotty told me she loved me all the time, and I did love her, but I never said the words. That was one thing that haunted me. I should have told her I loved her, she took care of me and helped me. I owed a lot to her, and I never said the words. My response was always, “Me too.” The words wanted to spill out of me so bad with Titan, I tried to hold them in, but he needed to know, and I just had to pray that I wouldn’t lose another person I loved. Titan and Phoenix were all I had left.

  “I love you, Jason.” He rested his forehead against mine and closed his eyes.

  “No taking it back, McKenzie. You've said it now. There’s no more running. You let me take care of things. You trust me to handle Richards and his son. They are now my business, you handle yours.”

  “He's powerful, Jason. I don't want to lose you too.”

  “Honey, you have no idea the things I'm capable of. I promise, you won't lose me.”

  He kissed me deeply. I didn't realize someone was knocking on the door until he pulled away. “Yeah?”

  “We’re all headed to the restaurant. Y'all coming because Phoenix has already threatened Grit’s balls if you don't show up?”

  I couldn't help the giggle that slipped out. Titan grinned at me. “We’ll be there,” Titan yelled out, letting my legs down gently. “We better go. Phoenix will be threatening my balls next, and I'm rather attached to them.”

  I slipped out of the shower and was drying off while he finished washing. “Shit.”

  “What?” he asked, stepping out of the small shower.

  “I've got no panties. The truck is at the house and my other pair are totally useless.”

  “Mmmmmmm, yes they are.” Titan nuzzled my neck and grinned like a cat about to trap a canary.

  “Titan, about your balls…” I left the threat open so he wouldn't get us caught up again. He had a serious case of greedy hands, and once he touched me, I would be lost again.

  We dressed quickly and headed to the restaurant. Everybody was already there when we finally walked in. Guilt assailed me as I looked around at the restaurant and the women who were responsible for keeping it open. I left Phoenix handling everything. Damn, I owed her an apology.

  I saw her sitting on Grit’s lap, talking to the Barbie. I really needed to learn that chick’s name, and I would, but first I needed to talk to Phoenix. Titan followed behind me as I walked toward my best friend. There were so many things that needed to be said, but emotion was choking me and guilt pounded me from all sides. Everything I kept hidden from her, never telling her how much I loved her, she was the sister I never had and a part of me, and I never told her that. She got me out of New York, away from a job I hated and a seriously creepy boss. I made sure I was never in the same room alone with him because he made my skin crawl. Unfortunately, none of my applications to other restaurants had ever gone through, and if they had, they always ended up hiring someone else. I was stuck with the creep until Phoenix got me out.

  I was almost to their table, when she spotted me. She jumped out of Grit’s lap and ran at me flinging her arms around my neck. “I swear to God, if you ever do that shit to me again, I will…”

  “You’ll what?” I asked when she paused thinking of what to say.

  “I’m thinking…”

  I smiled and hugged her back. “I love you too,” I whispered in her ear. “Thank you for everything. For getting me out of New York, for your friendship. Everything. I don’t know what I’d do without you.” She squeezed me tighter and I could feel her shaking. She was crying as she hugged me, and my own eyes were clouded with tears.

  She pulled away, and nodded. We walked arm in arm to the table where Grit was watching us. His eyes followed Phoenix wherever she went. It was funny how I noticed it with Grit immediately, but I didn’t ever notice the same damn trait with Titan until the other night. Titan watched me like Grit watched Phoenix. It was intense, and it sent warmth radiating through my body. I totally get why Phoenix said panties were pointless when she was around Grit. One look from Titan, and I melted too.

  Phoenix took her seat again, and Titan sat across from Grit before he pulled me into his lap. I raised my eyebrow as if to say ‘really’, and he just winked at me. I rolled my eyes at him and looked back at Phoenix who looked happy and relaxed.

  “Sorry,” she said to Barbie, and brought me into the conversation. “Becky was telling me she saw you at the clubhouse earlier. She wanted to know where you got your hair done.”

  “Daisy’s a genius,” I said to Becky, taking note to remember her name rather than calling her Barbie all the time. It turned out the girl was pretty nice. The other girls from the club came to the table to chat here and there, but they left pretty quickly to go hang out with the guys.

  “Where's Gavel and Anita?” I asked, noticing they weren't around.

  Titan and Grit exchanged a grin, and Phoenix chuckled. “They’re getting reconnected. Piper and Declan are on their way.” She looked nervously toward Legend, who was sitting with Roper and Dozer. They had three women at their table, each with what they wanted clearly written all over their faces and in their body language. “I talked to Philip yesterday. He was with a woman and it didn't sound like business.”

  “Good.” Titan growled in my ear, and wrapped his arm around me tighter, pulling my ass higher up on his lap and over his lengthening cock. I wiggled just to tease him more.

  “He's lucky he made it so far without getting the hell beat out of him. First with Phoenix, and that night he spent at the hotel with her,” Grit’s jaw clenched at the mere memory of it, “and then when Grit told me he was at the house with you on the couch...” He let his sentence trail off, and the threat hang in the air. “He's going to end up with a fist in his face at this rate.”

  “I think someone else will have his balls removed first,” Grit said, looking toward the door where Piper walked in with Declan. She glanced toward the table where Legend was sitting. One of the girls was by his sid
e, whispering in his ear as her hand disappeared under the table.

  “PIPER! DECLAN!” I called out, motioning them over, guessing where her hand was going and what it would be doing in no time. I noticed Legend jerk out of the corner of my eye, but he didn't move away from the girl, even if his attention did. His eyes stayed on Piper as she came toward us.

  “Hey guys,” she said, sitting in the vacant chair by Becky and pulling Declan onto her lap. I noticed she said hi to Becky and was comfortable with her, like they had met before and been around each other.

  “Phoenix, Piper, can I talk to you both in the kitchen with Hannah?” They all deserved an apology and a huge thank you for covering for my ass since the bar and restaurant were reopened. I've been checked out while trying to get my head right, and it still wasn't right, not all the way. Titan was helping, and getting back to a routine might help even more.

  I tried to get off of Titan’s lap, but he held me fast. When I looked over my shoulder at him, he cupped my jaw in his hand and kissed me. My jeans dampened at the taste of him. I wrapped my arms around his shoulders and closed my eyes, losing myself in him.

  A small ‘Ewww’ brought me to my senses. Declan was making gagging sounds and giggling, and the other faces around the table were smiling. Phoenix was grinning with tears rolling down her cheeks. I felt myself blush at the attention.

  Piper turned attention to her by asking Grit and Titan to keep an eye on Declan while we went in the kitchen. I was finally let up from Titan’s lap, and headed to the kitchen with Phoenix. When Piper came in, I took a deep breath and got my thoughts in order. I had gotten to know Piper well over the last few months, but Hannah and I had only spoken once, and I'd left her to deal with my business.

  “I owe all three of you an apology. I'm sorry for not being here since I was taken. It’s taken me a while to get my head back on, but I want to start picking up my place again. Thank you, for helping Phoenix when I couldn’t be here. I’m sorry for shirking my responsibilities and putting them on you.” I looked at Phoenix, but then to Piper and Hannah. “On all of you.”
