Coletrane (Bad Boys of Retribution MC Book 4) Page 23

by Warren, Rie


  Ashe paled. “That’s not fair and you know it.” Her words were strong, but her voice weak.

  “Shit. SHIT.” I shook my head at the floor, backing off. “I’m sorry.”

  Before she could reply, I strode away. I hit the can. After taking a piss, I checked on my bike outside. I wasted some more time pacing the parking lot with a cig clamped between my teeth. Maybe it was my own guilt, my own blame eating me up inside. If I’d paid closer attention to Cat, I could’ve stopped her before she went full-blown addict on us. If I’d been driving our folks that night, maybe I could’ve avoided the accident that killed them.

  Staring out at the night, the stars all but obliterated by the bright flashy Myrtle Beach lights, I lifted my half-smoked cig. The red ember burned at the end like my heart did. I felt half-finished, undone. I’d wanted to start fresh this year. Cat had done it. So had Nick. Stone and Leelee were expecting a new baby soon. I had Boomer—fuckin’ A—and I didn’t really want to grow old with him.

  But Ashe? She was one of those risks I’d sworn off. The life and death kind. I could already feel it in my bones.

  I stamped out my cigarette butt. I sat on my bike and thought about bailing on the rest of the night.

  There were plenty of other men interested in Ashe. Let one of them take her for a ride. I didn’t have to go back inside. I didn’t have to see her again.

  But I wanted to.

  There was a pool game in action when I joined my tribe. Ashe held a cue, lifting eyes to mine that were less sparkly when she saw me. For a moment my heart did the wrecking ball thing in my chest. But I didn’t need anyone’s pity or sympathy. What was done was done. At least Cat had survived.

  I watched the game, waiting for my turn. I rolled my neck and grinded my teeth and cracked my knuckles every time another and another guy talked to Ashe. Sure as shit I wasn’t interested in any of the ladies who approached me while I idled by the pool table. Eeny, Meany, Miney, Oh, Hell no.

  Ashe wiped the table clean. She nodded at me to start a new game. I broke, hitting a solid into the pocket. Our group hung out, hooked up, split off. I couldn’t keep my eyes away from Ashe.

  Every time she leaned over to hit her mark I was treated to more than an eyeful of her bouncy ample breasts. A thin bead of sweat streaked down her cleavage about the time my cock burbled out another drop of precome.

  “Aren’t you cold?” I asked as she stood up and her nipples did, too, after she banked and pocketed her ball.

  “No. Does it look like I am?”

  Christ, no. That was the problem. Ashe looked ready for a long, hard, loud fuck, like she’d said.

  She racked up because I was too slack-jawed to do anything but think about how fast I could get her across my Harley, into my room, and onto my hard cock.

  Tuck and Tail and Handsome headed to the hotel with Probie and probably myriad women in tow, but I couldn’t leave until I made sure Ashe was safely tucked in bed.

  Riiiight.

  She won again. She rounded the table, pool cue in hand. “If the answer’s no, why are you still hanging around? You’re alone after two dozen chicks probably begged you to take them to bed.”

  I arched an eyebrow. “Is the good officer jealous?”

  “Back atcha. You just scared off all my prospects for the night.”

  Challenge laid down. Challenge accepted.

  Grabbing Ashe’s stick, I ran it lightly up and down the seam of her pants. She grabbed my belt, her fingertips slipping beneath to my skin. Arching against the rod of wood between her thighs, she moaned. I felt the heat coming off her and wondered just how soaking wet she was. I placed the cue on the table and jerked her against me.

  “How many guys did you have your eyes on? One? Two?”

  “Just you.”

  Yes. I wanted to plant my mark on her, in her, right there. Make her mine. But I couldn’t afford to show any weakness with her.

  “Is that why you always act like such a bitch around me?” I fisted her hair in a tight grip, watching her lips part with a hungry gasp. “You just wanted to go for a ride on my cock all these years?”

  “Maybe. Doesn’t explain why you’ve been such an asshole though.”

  “Wench,” I hoarsely whispered, drawing my mouth down her neck.

  Ashe wriggled her hand into my leathers. Her eyes widened in surprise just before mine rolled back possibly never to be seen again. Her fingers tickled the long thick underside of my cock. Her moan was half-mewl, half-holy fuck. She fondled my frenny ladder that led all the way up to the Prince Albert piercing through the head of my cock.

  She bit her lip then asked, “Steel?”

  “You know it.”

  “Jesus, Brodie.” Her tone turned needy.

  I clasped her wrist and pulled her hand from my pants. “It’s a deal. You. Me. Bike Week only.”

  RIDE, Carolina Bad Boys novella

  The full, sexy, New Adult version of RIDE, the novella featured in Stone, At Your Service, Carolina Bad Boys series.

  College man Jase Everly has bad boy written all over him. Rides a motorcycle? Check. Has tats? You bet. Couldn't give a shit about rules? He's all over that.

  When he's cut off from the oil baron family funds, he finds a new way to support his education, his bike habit, his bad habits. And his business venture is nothing he's proud of.

  Top-notch student Avery Greene is a good girl. Deans List, never missed a class, straightlaced material. She's on the college fast track until one night and one jock destroy her life. She hides inside her sweaters. She buries her nose in her books.

  She ignores the pain inside her, and she's sure she hates Jase from the moment she lays eyes on him.

  The problem is—Avery needs someplace to stay, and Jase wants a roommate. They’re enemies at first sight. Now they’re going to live together.

  Roomies? Maybe.

  Romance? Never.

  That’s what she said.

  Chrome, With a Heart Forged in Steele, Carolina Bad Boys #4

  Coming fall 2015

  https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/25069885-chrome-with-a-heart-forged-in-steele

  Boomer Steele is big. He’s bad. He’s the Retribution MC pres. He’s been dealt the worst hand imaginable and bears the scars inside and out. Not that anyone knows it. He’s watched his younger brother and sister hook up and hitch up with the loves of their lives, and now he’s the last Steele standing alone. Maybe he should keep it that way.

  Then one feisty honey makes him feel, gets in his grill, pisses him off.

  She goes by the name of Rayce. And that’s exactly what she does on her motocross bike when she’s not busy getting her hands dirty with her fellow grease monkeys as the only female mechanic at Stone’s Garage. She’s into fixing bikes, racing hers, and making Boomer’s life a living hell just for the fun of it. Oh, and she hates being treated like a girl.

  Sparks flying? That’s an understatement where these two are concerned. Yet when Rayce needs a place to live, and Boomer offers her a room in his house, their unquenchable attraction wins out over antagonism. Sometimes. Rayce’s crappy upbringing makes her think love is for stupid fools asking for heartbreak. She’s not willing to go there for any man. Not even Boomer Steele.

  The bigger they are, the harder they fall.

  Sugar Daddy, Lowcountry Heat #1

  New edition, January 2014

  Contemporary erotic romance

  http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00I0WD106/

  http://www.amazon.com/dp/149734848X

  She needs a job. He wants a mistress. Hearts and contracts are bound to get broken.

  Shay Greer is pure GRITS—a Girl Raised In The South–but nowhere near a demure southern belle. She’s looking for a way out of her broken down marriage when she lands an unexpected job offer she really should refuse. Position? Mistress. Fringe Benefits? Of course. Fraternization with sexy CEO Reardon Boone? Required.

  Shay signs on, lured by the promise of intimacy missing from her failed marriage. She’s barely survived a hellish year of heartbreak and needs a fresh start. Little does she know a clean break is the last thing she’ll get with the mysterious millionaire.

  Reardon sticks to his tried and true rules: no-strings-attached seduction, no messy emotions, absolutely nothing resembling a real relationship. This sassy, sultry woman fits the bill precisely . . . until she arouses more than his erotic appetite.

  A shark in the boardroom and a lady-killer in the bedroom, Reardon is as irresistible as he is unattainable. Shay falls hard, but his inability to love could tear them apart. She finds out that beneath Reardon’s seductive mask lies a man as tortured as she is.

  Acknowledgments

  Holy crap! I don’t even know where to start.

  Okay—deep breath—there are a couple things I want to address first regarding this series and future books as folks have been asking. Boomer and Rayce! Yes! Their book is next. It will be book 4 in the Carolina Bad Boys series and I’m looking to publish it fall 2015. You might’ve noticed I gave very few details about that hot upcoming couple (I also did not address a lot of ongoing plotlines from the Carolina Bad Boys series) simply because I don’t want to give anything away, and also, in terms of t
imeline, we’re not there yet in that series. Oh my God, that’s confusing. In other words, Boomer’s book—Chrome—will pick up where Steele left off. November 2014.

  Many awesome people have been asking if there will be MORE for the MCs. Yes. Like Boomer, they will be included as full novels in the Carolina Bad Boys series. Tail, Handsome, etc. I hope! Will Walker get a series? Hmm, lemme think about that. Yes, again, I hope so. If I embark on another spinoff it will start with Walker. And Killian Slade is already whispering in my ear about another novella series. I don’t know the possible timeline on these yet. If you follow my newsletter, blog, or stay tuned in on Facebook you’ll get the news first. You’ll also get to read about my #nonglamorous life, the stupid shit I do on a daily basis, plus hot men.

  Okay. Shew. If you have questions, never hesitate to ask. I’m always around. Now to the thanks!

  Big beautiful love to Gillian Littlehale. She is my editor at Gilly Wright’s Red Pen, and part of a two-woman seriously fabulous support team with my PA, Joelle Mendes. None of this writer stuff would happen without them, because I’d be pulling my hair out somewhere, probably under my desk.

  Cheers to Tera Shanley for the exquisitely hot covers for this series! You should check out her books—she’s an amazing writer and I can’t get enough of her. Also huge love to Joanne Wadsworth, another sister author, who, along with Miss Shanley, shares the insider secrets, tech-help, and self-publishing support.
