Ride Hard (Condemned Angels MC Series #2)
Page 11
The stage cleared, and the room went black.
“What the fuck?” Hunter yelled.
“Shut the fuck up. Hold on,” I hissed between my teeth. “Someone can fucking hear your loud ass mouth.”
“Jer?” Derrick caught both of our attentions. “You’ll want to take a look.” He nodded to the binoculars I held in my hands. Tightening my grip, I peered through the lenses. There was Nicole, center stage. She wore a black garter belt and stocking set, with a black bra, and sky-high heels. She looked rigid and her fists were clenched at her sides.
Music began, but Nicole stood her ground, holding onto the metal pole in front of her. Men surrounded the base of the stage, yelling for her to dance. Jax appeared from the side of the stage, grabbing Nicole by the crook of her elbow. My jaw tensed. She stumbled a step back in her high heels; he was saying something to her. Nic quickly shut her eyes and nodded her head in understanding. Jax had an evil fucking grin on his face. Slapping her ass before he left her again and the music started up.
“Fuck, is she doing it?” Derrick whispered.
“I don’t think she has much of a choice,” Hunter answered for me.
Lana Del Rey’s “Body Electric” song flooded the speakers. Nicole turned her back to the crowd, tilting her head to the floor, the blue spotlight shown down on her. Slowly getting into the rhythm of the song, she swayed her round hips. Men yelled out for her, catcalls and dollar bills started to get tossed in the air. As the song started, Nicole bent over forward, stretching her garter belt against her ass. I took a deep breath in and licked my lips. Lighting a cigarette, I inhaled, holding onto that breath until my lungs burned.
“Jesus,” Derrick mumbled under his breath, but I heard that shit and for a second, I was fucking proud that she was mine.
Facing the pole, Nicole squatted down on her haunches, slowly rolling her pelvis to the pole; her free arm went up under her hair, seductively moving it off her neck. Releasing her hand from her hair, Nicole pushed off her thigh as she rolled her body against the pole as she straightened her back. Slowly Nicole galloped around the pole, she hooked her long legs around it, spinning fast as she locked her thighs, and released her arms and slowly fell backwards.
Nicole’s hair splayed out underneath her, her eyes were closed. She didn’t want to see them while dancing like this; I could only pray that she was thinking of me. I’m coming, baby, hold the fuck on.
Nicole
Closing my eyelids as I danced for these strangers, took me back to when I was dancing for him. Jeremy, and him alone. While touching my own body, I pictured his hands. All that these men needed was a show. And a show is all they’ll fucking get. Jax reminded me of our agreement, and after my dance I was to go to his room, and meet his Old Lady, Eva. What did she want with me? Or what did she and Jax together want with me?
Gripping high on the pole, I lifted my feet up and did a split, slowly sliding down the pole, my pussy was completely flush with the pole, the thin material of my panties was probably now soaked after I’ve been imagining Jeremy. I crawled on my hands and knees to the end of the stage, which was circle shaped, currently surrounded by big burly men who were tatted up, had half naked women in their laps and beers in their hands. Cash showered down on me as I let my legs spread wide on the stage. My arms splayed out above my head, I rested on my forearms.
I let my hips thrust against the floor to the beat of the music.
JEREMY
Fucking Christ, I need to fuck her when all this is said and fucking done!
Nicole
As the song came to an end, I rolled to my back, letting my hands roam my own body. I tuned out the music. Reaching up, I wrapped my hand around the base of the pole, and pulled myself into a sitting position. I opened my eyes, and everything came back to me. Realization hit me as Jax was walking out to me, helping me off the floor; he guided me offstage and towards his room upstairs. My pulse raced and my heart slammed inside my chest. With every click of my heels up the narrow stairway, I felt my life slipping away from me.
JEREMY
“Where the fuck is she going?”
“The fuck if I know.” Hunter let out a frustrated sigh.
“Hold up, the upstairs light just went on,” Derrick announced, as he settled in position. Continuing to look for Nicole through the scope of his gun.
“There!” I eagerly licked my lips and adjusted my grip on the binoculars.
The lights flickered in a large open window. Behind the flowing sheer curtains, I could make out Jax’s figure entering the room with Nicole behind him. She looked uneasy as he guided her by the small of her back. Gripping the back of her hair, he pulled her head backwards. She grabbed ahold of his hand on her hair, her mouth gaped open in pain.
“Motherfucker, you have a fucking clear shot, Derrick?”
“No, hold the fuck on.” He relaxed his shoulders.
Jax suddenly released his grip on Nicole as his attention turned elsewhere in the room. A woman was splayed out on a California king-sized bed. Slowly, she got up, sauntering her way up to Nicole.
“She’s in my shot.”
“Who?” Hunter and I asked at the same time.
“The redhead.”
“Take her out too if you have to, just watch Nicole.”
“Don’t fucking rush this, Jeremy. Fucking wait till we have a shot,” Hunter yelled over to me.
Jax pulled the woman to his side, and they admired Nicole together.
HUNTER
“I have the shot, the redhead too.” Derrick waited for the command from Jeremy. I blinked then squinted my eyes to see clearly.
The red hair is what caught my attention. My heart stopped beating in my chest. I was holding my breath as I saw her face turn to the window.
Eva.
“Don’t fucking shoot!” I threw my binoculars and scrambled to Derrick. Jeremy quickly grabbed me, trying to pull me off of Derrick.
“What the fuck!” Jeremy shouted.
“You pull that trigger, and I’ll fucking kill you, Derrick!” I threatened, scrambling to grab his feet as Jeremy pulled me further away.
“What the fuck is wrong with you?” Jeremy had me in a chokehold.
“The girl. The redhead,” I spat out.
“What about her?” Jeremy demanded.
“She’s my wife!” Jeremy froze, and then released the hold he had on me. Gasping for air, Jeremy and Derrick stared at me in disbelief.
“DON’T FUCKIN’ MOVE!” A voice sounded out over us as barrels of glocks were being shoved in our faces. Fuck, Devils.
