A PRICE TO PAY: A Dark Bad Boy Romance

by Zoey Parker

  “Were.” The word dropped like a bomb. Even Gigi looked at her, surprised at the way her tone of voice changed. I went quiet for a minute.

  “Sorry,” I muttered. I felt like an ass. Still, that explained a few things. So she inherited a shit ton of money when her parents died. She lived in a nice place. She could live on a teacher’s salary because she had a trust fund, probably. So she thought she was in good shape to take my kid away. Interesting.

  I let them play the game for a while, thinking about my plan. Yeah, it was the best way to go. I couldn’t let my daughter live with a stranger. She was mine. She was comfortable at the clubhouse. So, if Jamie wanted her, she’d have to agree with my rules.

  When the game finally finished—Gigi pulled a good card, sending her to the end of the board in record time—I motioned for Jamie to follow me to my office. Flash asked Gigi to teach him how to play the game, which I would have laughed my ass off at if it wasn’t kind of cute. Gigi was very serious, explaining the rules. She sounded like a teacher herself.

  I closed the door. Jamie folded her arms. “What is it now?”

  I smirked. “You have a nasty attitude.”

  “Wouldn’t you? You’re sitting out there, playing games with me. What was that all about?”

  “I wanted to know what kind of person you are.”

  “Bullshit. You were digging for something.”

  I laughed. I couldn’t help it. “Fine. You’re right. I was.”

  “And? Did you find out what you wanted to know?”

  “Oh yeah. More than that. You’re perfect for my plan.”

  She looked like she didn’t believe me—or she didn’t believe I could come up with a plan. “What would that be?”

  “You wanna make sure my daughter is safe?”

  “More than anything.” I believed her, too.

  “Okay. If you wanna make sure she’s safe, then you can stay here and take care of her.”

  Take Me, Outlaw

  I wanted to be his tonight – his toy, his willing slave...

  She’s living proof that bad things happen to good people.

  Wrong place, wrong time, but the universe doesn’t give a damn.

  Neither does the Mafia.

  They’re going to kill her, unless I do something about it.

  I’ve never been one to stand by idly, so I do what I have to:

  take her before my enemies get the chance to do the same.

  At first, it was a matter of convenience.

  But the longer she is on the back of my bike,

  The greater my hunger grows.

  It’s only a matter of time until it feasts.

  But there are soulless bastards nipping at our heels.

  They want blood – both hers and mine.

  Now, I’m faced with an impossible choice: do I leave her, or keep her in my grasp?

  Break Me, Outlaw

  HE MEANT TO BREAK MY BODY. INSTEAD, HE BROKE MY HEART.

  I knew from the moment I walked in that this place was not meant for me.

  I was clean; this place was filthy.

  I was fair; this place was dark.

  But maybe I was sick of living a safe life.

  Maybe I was sick of every little thing fitting together just so.

  I was sick of being perfect and whole.

  I wanted to be broken.

  In this dark and pungent hell, I found the man to do the job.

  He took me into his arms and broke me –

  Over, and over, and over again.

  When it was finished, I picked up the pieces of myself that remained, and I left.

  But things never end that easily.

  I didn’t know it then, but when I ran, I took something with me.

  Something I never wanted…

  Something I never asked for…

  The baby of the man who’d owned me.

  Now, my unborn child and I are helpless pawns in some sick and twisted game.

  People are being hurt, killed.

  I can’t stand to watch anymore.

  All I can do is cry, and plead, and beg.

  All I can say are three little words:

  Please, for the love of God…

  “Break me, outlaw.”

  Spike

  HE SHOWED ME THAT LOVE WEARS LEATHER AND INK.

  Spike

  I was raised in darkness. Blood and death are all I know.

  Finally freed from prison, my only goal is to make my MC even more powerful.

  That is, until Georgia walks in.

  She's in trouble, she tells me, her blue eyes flashing.

  She's so beautiful, so innocent, so pure…

  That I make her a deal.

  Come to my bed and I'll keep you safe.

  Georgia

  When the Russian mob comes after my younger brother, I do the only thing I can: I help him escape.

  But now they're after me instead.

  With no other choice, I go to the one person who can help me – the president of the Satan's Disciples MC , Spike Turner.

  He makes me a deal that even Satan wouldn't offer.

  If I submit to his touch, he will protect me.

  What else could I say but yes?

  What surprises me is how quickly I become entangled in his darkness.

  His touch is intoxicating. His kiss is liquid fire.

  But when I confess what he is doing to me – to my heart – he tells me he can never love me back.

  I try to pick up the pieces of my life in the wake of his rejection, but the mob has other ideas.

  Trapped in their clutches, I can only pray that Spike hasn't left me to die.

  I love him – even if we're both damned to hell.

  Stolen

  He's a ruthless biker with a kingdom to run. She's a talented thief with a nose for trouble.

  Things are about to get messy.

  Sasha

  I knew going in that this would be dangerous. But what choice did I have?

  None, that's how much. You don't say "No" to a man like Fang, the mob boss I work for. Not if you want to live to tell the tale.

  So I swallowed my fear and I took the mission: stealing drugs from the Hell's Overlords MC.

  The first time was smooth. In and out like a flash.

  The second time was just as easy.

  But the third time…that's when everything went wrong.

  Now, I'm trapped in a basement, staring into the stormy eyes of a man who doesn't like being robbed.

  Everything I feared is present in those eyes. There's anger, and strength, and brutality.

  But there's something else, too.

  Something I didn't expect, and it's scaring me more than anything else.

  He's hungry.

  Hungry for me.

  HER BODY ISN'T THE ONLY THING I'M TAKING AS MY OWN.

  Cole

  The first time I lay eyes on her, it feels like I got struck by lightning.

  You've probably heard that before, but trust me – this is different.

  This isn't the "struck by lightning" you see in friendly little rom-coms with happy endings.

  It doesn't come with warm fuzzies.

  It's not cute.

  No, the kind of lightning I'm talking about makes me want to do things, things that you might not always like.

  It makes me want to bite her lip like a feral dog, to squeeze her hips in my hands and rid her of every scrap of clothing.

  The lightning surging through my veins makes me harder than carved marble.

  There's only one release: to own her, again and again, until the thirst is quenched.
/>   I don't know how long that will take.

  But I'm willing to find out.

  Overdosed

  I'M ADDICTED TO HER, AND I WON'T STOP UNTIL I GET MY FIX.

  When a little girl shows up on the front stoop of the Fury's Storm HQ,

  I tell her the obvious truth: "You're at the wrong place, hon."

  But then she hands me a note that flips my world upside down.

  It says she's my daughter.

  I'm the last man on this earth who should be caring for a child.

  The only women in my life are the rotating cast of scantily clad groupies who keep my bed warm at night.

  So what the hell am I supposed to do with a daughter?

  I tell my men to find a way to get Gigi back to her mother.

  But they come back and tell me the girl's mom has disappeared without a trace.

  Now what?

  Just then, a woman knocks at the clubhouse door.

  I open it and freeze.

  Jamie is a knockout to say the least.

  She's pretty, but she doesn't know it.

  Sexy, but she hasn't been made to feel it.

  Eager, if only the right man were there to stoke her fires.

  That's where I come in.

  Jamie is Gigi's teacher and she's desperate to keep her favorite student safe.

  But as clues to Gigi's mom's disappearance crop up in new and unexpected places, the two of us clash and mesh with wild intensity.

  I've never felt like this about a woman before.

  I want her.

  I need her.

  I crave her.

  And I'm going to take her, again and again... Until I overdose.

  Ravage

  I’m a man of few words. The ones I use are violent:

  Brawl. Claim. Ravage.

  It was lust at first sight.

  She looked too damn nice up on that stage to pass up.

  A body that curved in all the right places.

  Skin demanding that I seize it and squeeze it.

  And those eyes…

  Eyes I’d never forget.

  What would you have done?

  I know what I did: I bought her.

  Then I took her home and let her know who she belonged to now.

  She screamed my name until the rafters shook.

  Don’t act like you would have done anything different.

  That should have been the end of it.

  But if she was just an expensive lay,

  you wouldn’t be reading this story.

  There was a whole lot more I had yet to find out.

  Only one thing I knew for certain:

  I hadn’t had my fill of Michelle.

  Not. Even. Close.

  Bounty

  A picture is worth a thousand words, but I only need three:

  You. Are. Mine.

  The life I lead isn't for the faint of heart.

  A man like me has to say what he means.

  Take what he wants.

  And fight to keep what he has.

  Erica thought she would be safe behind her camera.

  Little did she know she was teetering on the edge of the rabbit hole.

  When she sees something she shouldn't have,

  she falls in.

  She's lucky I showed up when I did.

  Without me, she'd be thrown to the wolves.

  Torn apart.

  Devoured.

  But it doesn't take long before she starts to wonder.

  Is she better off on her own…

  …or at the mercy of the beast inside me?

  At the end of the day, it doesn't matter.

  I tell her how it is:

  "Moan as loud as you want, babe.

  You aren't going anywhere."

  Trouble

  He took my sister.

  I’m next.

  My baby sister went missing over a month ago, and I’d give anything to find her. After countless hours of searching, the trail of clues leads me to Gabriel Hunt, leader of the Crooked Souls MC.

  He’s sexy, strong…

  …and the last man to see my sister alive.

  Before I know it, I’m tumbling down the rabbit hole. I’m being chased, threatened, and almost killed. There’s only one place to turn: right into Gabriel’s arms.

  He is a danger unto himself, but I can’t stop myself from craving his touch. Only time will tell whether he’ll be the key to solving my sister’s disappearance, or the last stop before my downfall.

  I thought I was doing the hunting. But I'm coming to find out that I'm the one being hunted.

  Monster

  I thought he was my savior.

  If only I’d known he was a murderer, too.

  Getting trapped in the snow was my own fault.

  For a moment, I thought I would die out there.

  So when the sexiest man I’ve ever seen pulls me back from the brink of death,

  I suppose I should be grateful.

  He takes me home, warms me up…

  …and lights a fire inside me that only his touch can heal.

  Now I’m burning with desire for Jax —

  his hands, his mouth, his body.

  I know he’s no good for me,

  but nothing can stop me from craving him.

  That is, until his past rears its ugly head.

  But by the time I learn he’s truly a monster,

  it might already be too late.

  At first, she wanted no part of me. But some kinds of darkness are hard to resist…

  I know I’m not a good guy.

  Ever since my wife died, I’ve had a single rule when it comes to women:

  One night only.

  In all these years, I’ve never broken it.

  That is, until I met Christina.

  She’s got a body like sin and a sassy mouth to boot.

  I want to f**k her until she’s hoarse from screaming my name.

  She doesn’t know I have secrets.

  She doesn’t know what I’ve done.

  And even after she discovers who I really am, it won’t matter anymore.

  She’ll have to find out the hard way:

  once you come home with me,

  there’s no going back.

  Olivia didn’t deserve this fate. But she didn’t have a choice. Blaze wasn’t any more eager to get married, for Christ’s sake, but no one was asking what he wanted. In his eyes, there was only thing that would make this all okay: taking her as his own.
