“Well, who wouldn’t love our girl? She’s pretty perfect, just like her mom.” I winked at Glory, making her cheeks turn a rosy pink.
“We should eat before the food gets any colder.” She sat and picked up her fork.
“Sorry about Franny,” I said, feeling like I owed Glory an apology. Not just for Fran showing up unexpectedly, but… well, for everything the woman had said.
“Not entirely your fault.” She eyed me. “You can’t help being drawn to a damsel in distress, and she played the part perfectly.”
She wasn’t wrong. “Good thing I wised up and decided I needed a strong, independent woman.”
Glory smiled and leaned over to kiss my cheek. A warmth spread through me, and I knew I’d made the right decision. Bringing Glory and Sienna here, claiming them, was exactly what we’d all needed. They were my family now, and I’d do everything I could to keep them safe and happy. No matter the cost.
Chapter Seven
Glory
Sienna had gone to bed an hour ago, and Wolf had dozed off on the couch. I’d crept from the living room and explored my new home, stopping in the master bedroom. My things were put away and I could see into the bathroom where my toothbrush shared the holder with Wolf’s. It was intimate and should have scared the crap out of me. Moving in was a huge step. Instead, butterflies rioted in my stomach. I only hoped Wolf was everything he seemed and I didn’t come to regret the choice I’d made. From what I’d learned, there was no going back.
Now that he’d claimed me, I was his.
Forever.
The butterflies swooped around some more and my hand trembled as I shoved my hair behind my ear. Seeing his ex earlier had scared me at first. She’d been stunning, and I’d worried he’d decide he wanted her back. But hearing the way she’d spoken to him, and seeing the revulsion on her face, had ignited a fire inside me. I’d wanted to punch her, drag her outside, and beat her ass. Somehow, I’d managed to hold back. How could she not see how wonderful he was? I’d known right away she’d been using him. I couldn’t remember the last time I’d been so angry.
The fact his club hadn’t noticed made me wonder if they just gave women a free pass. I’d heard Demon had once branded a club whore who’d endangered Dragon’s woman, but I had a hard time picturing it. The men here might be rough around the edges, and perhaps they were rude and crude at times, just the same, they seemed to have good hearts and I had trouble imagining them harming a woman. Even if she had deserved it.
I moved farther into the room and ran my fingers over the quilt covering the bed. It didn’t look like something a man would select and I wondered if Franny had bought it for him or helped pick it out. The thought of her being in his bed, this bed, made me want to burn the damn thing. It was stupid to feel so jealous over her. She clearly didn’t have true feelings for him. But Wolf must have felt something for her to stay with her for so long, to let her bully him into hiding in his own home, unable to be comfortable or relax completely.
And she’d called me a puta. I’d Googled it because I’d never taken Spanish. If someone had said that to me right after I’d been raped, it would have hurt a lot more. I’d been a virgin until that night. Even though I didn’t think more than two men had hurt me, since I’d passed out, I couldn’t know for certain. It had bothered me for a while. Still did if I were being honest with myself. As much as I wanted to know who had done such a thing to me, not knowing was better. I could at least claim ignorance over the possible sperm donor for Sienna, which meant no one could try to take her from me.
I heard Wolf’s steps behind me and eyed the room again. The walls were a soft blue-gray and the trim a bright white. The cherry-colored wood flooring was pretty and so was the throw rug with blues, grays, and a bit of teal. But the bed… I sighed. It was completely unreasonable to ask him to get a new bed. I wouldn’t do it. I’d just have to pull up my big girl panties and deal with it. It wasn’t like I’d ever imagined a guy like him would be a virgin. Franny had likely only been one of many to share his bed.
Wolf placed his hands on my shoulders, kneading the muscles. “You’re too tense. Something wrong?”
“Only thinking.”
“Must not be something good.” He wrapped his arms around me, tugging me against his chest. “Want to talk about it?”
No, not really. I might be a bit insecure where he was concerned, but it didn’t mean I wanted him to know about it. I was supposed to be a strong, independent woman. A single mom who could stand on her own two feet. Not mope because the guy I liked had been with other women. I wasn’t in high school anymore and needed to grow the hell up. Then again, Franny was only a small part of my dark thoughts tonight, even if she’d been the catalyst.
“She called me a whore,” I murmured, immediately wanting to call the words back.
“I’m sorry, Glory. You know damn well that isn’t the case. You’re the sweetest, most innocent woman I’ve ever known. She lashed out and went after you instead of me.”
“After… the incident, I felt so dirty. I scrubbed my skin until I rubbed it raw. Several times a day, I’d shower in water so hot it hurt. People would whisper behind my back, saying I’d deserved what happened to me.” I leaned against him, giving him more of my weight. “Sometimes I wish I knew who’d hurt me. Other times, I realize it’s for the best I don’t.”
Wolf held me, giving me his support. I didn’t spiral into dark thoughts often. Most of the time, I pushed forward, refusing to let one night ruin the rest of my life. Besides, I’d gotten Sienna out of it, and I loved her more than anything. My girl was amazing, and she made life worth living. If it hadn’t been for her, I might not have pulled myself from the darkness. And now I had Wolf…
“I guess hearing her call me that brought it all back,” I said.
“Until you went toe to toe with Fran, I didn’t realize how many excuses I’d made for her. She took me by surprise, but I promise I will never let someone speak to you like that again. I should have done something more than stand there.”
I rubbed his arm where he still held it around my waist. “It’s okay, Max. The two of you have history together. And I saw how manipulative she was with Dagger. I’d imagine she’d been the same with you.”
He nodded, his five-o’clock shadow scraping my neck. “Yeah, she was. I guess with her past I made too many allowances for her. I didn’t do either of us any favors.”
“You saw a sweet woman in trouble,” I said. “She played on that and used it to her advantage. Makes me wonder what happened with the man she was supposedly seeing.”
“I’m not about to track her down to ask,” Wolf said. “But I have a feeling Slash will have more than a few questions for her, especially if Dagger tells him the way she acted while she was here.”
I turned to face him, his arm remaining around my waist. “No one seemed to know we were together. You said you’d told Steel, and I know you told the Prospect who brought us food. Do you think he forgot to let anyone know?”
“It’s possible. He’s probably been tied up with the mess at the clinic.”
I ran my hands up and down his chest. “You know, it’s my first night here. We should take advantage of Sienna being asleep. Especially since she’ll probably wake up in a few hours needing to be changed.”
Wolf cupped my cheek and leaned down. “Oh yeah? What exactly do you think we should do?”
I bit my lip so I wouldn’t smile. “Well, you could make me scream your name. Isn’t that what you bikers are supposed to be so good at? Making a woman beg for more?”
He growled softly and backed me toward the bed. “That what you want? To beg? I might like having you on your knees.”
My breath caught and my nipples tightened. Holy shit! The image of me on my knees, dipping my hands into his pants, made me burn hot. I’d never sucked a guy off before and the idea of letting Wolf be my first and only? Yeah, big turn-on. I knew with him I was safe. There wasn’t a single doubt in my mind he’d never hurt m
e. At least, not intentionally.
I slid down his body until my knees hit the floor, my hands dragging down his torso to rest on his hips. “You mean like this?”
His eyes darkened and I saw the muscle in his jaw tic. I reached up and ran my fingers back and forth just under the waist of his shorts. The rumble of his growl vibrated against my hand and I squeezed my thighs together. Licking my lips, I held his gaze as I tugged his shorts down. It didn’t escape my notice he wasn’t wearing underwear. Had I known he was going commando the entire time we’d been here tonight, I might have been tempted to try this sooner.
His cock bobbed in front of my face, pre-cum already beading on the tip. My heart pounded in my chest and anticipation raced through me.
“I’ve never done this before,” I admitted. “If I do it wrong, tell me how to fix it.”
He tangled his fingers in my hair. “It will be perfect because it’s you.”
His words warmed my heart, and I gently gripped his shaft. I lapped at the pre-cum, wondering how he’d taste. His flavor was surprising salty, but not horrible. I’d heard horror stories in high school about how bad it would taste, the girls in the locker room not caring who heard as they discussed their more intimate activities.
I ran my tongue along the length of his cock before flicking it across the head. He hissed in a breath and I felt his body tense. Feeling a bit bolder, I took him into my mouth.
Wolf groaned and his hold on my hair tightened. He gave it a slight tug but didn’t try to control me. I took my time, exploring him, and figuring out what he liked. I’d always known I had a rather freakishly long tongue -- or at least longer than the average -- so I put it to good use. I took as much of him as I could, my lips nearly brushing the hair above his cock, before wrapping my tongue around his shaft and slowly dragging my lips up to the head again.
“Holy fuck!” His hold tightened even more and he panted a little. “Do that again. Please.”
I smiled before repeating the stroke a few more times. I placed a hand on his thigh to brace myself and felt a slight tremor running through him. Working his cock, I let his scent wash over me. His body shuddered and he pulled free of my mouth, his cock dragging along my lips.
His breath sawed in and out of his lungs. “I don’t want to come yet.”
Wolf helped me stand and quickly removed my clothes before discarding his own. He sat on the edge of the bed to remove his prosthesis. As much as I wanted to help him, I didn’t think he’d appreciate it. As it was, the fact he felt secure enough with me to take it off made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. I liked that he wasn’t trying to hide from me.
I crawled onto the bed and stretched out behind him, letting my fingers trail across his hip. I admired the ink on his back and traced a few of the lines. I saw the club logo, or whatever they called it, a script written in a foreign language, and a myriad of other images. One day I’d ask him what they meant.
When he’d finished with his prosthesis, he turned to face me. I reached for him, tugging him closer. Wolf flashed me a smile before leaning down to kiss me.
“I finally have you in my bed,” he murmured against my lips.
I slid my hands up his chest and around his neck. “You make it sound like it’s something you’ve wanted forever.”
“Maybe not forever, but definitely for a while. I told you. The moment I saw you walk into Church, I wanted to know more about you. I don’t think you realize the power you have over me, Glory.”
I curled my hand around the back of his neck. “Max, I don’t want power over you. All I need is for you to keep looking at me the way you are right now.”
“Gladly.”
He kissed me long and deep, his palm sliding up my ribs to cup my breast. The feel of his rough skin against me made my nipples harden even more. I whimpered as he stroked the peak, his touch driving me wild. Wolf threw his leg over mine and I felt the hard length of his cock press against me. He shifted, placing his knee against my pussy and put just enough pressure there I grew even wetter. With every brush of his knee, his cock rubbed against me, drawing a groan from him.
“Jesus, Glory. You make me feel like I’m a teenager again. Few more strokes against your soft skin and I think I’d come.”
I didn’t know many men who’d admit such a thing. From what I’d observed, they seemed to boast about how long they could last. But then, Wolf wasn’t like other men. At least, with me he wasn’t. I couldn’t say what he’d been like with anyone else.
“Max, we need… condoms, or… something.” It felt like my brain was short-circuiting. The tugging on my nipple and the pressure against my pussy made me feel like I’d come unraveled at any moment. I was so close to coming.
He nipped my jaw. “One of these days I’ll get to fill you with my cum.”
And why did he make it sound so sexy?
Wolf rolled away from me and opened his bedside table drawer. He pulled out a few condoms and dropped them onto the bed beside me. I tried really hard not to think about the fact he already had an open box of them in his bedroom. I knew they were likely from his time with Franny, and I didn’t want that bitch in the room with us. Not even in spirit.
Wolf rolled to his back and my brow furrowed. “You aren’t going to put one on?”
“Not yet.” He patted his chest. “Come up here.”
I tipped my head to the side, not quite certain what he meant. He grinned and reached for me, lifting me so that I straddled his chest, then he tugged on my hips until I got closer to his face. I felt my cheeks heat and grabbed onto the headboard.
“Max, what are you…”
He yanked me over his face and licked my pussy, making me squeak in surprise. “Oh, God. Max, I…”
He held me tight, not letting me get away. As if I’d want to! His wicked tongue was driving me crazy. Every flick against my clit made me want to grind against him. My fingers turned white from my grip on the headboard. Wolf slid his hand over the curve of my ass, and I felt his fingers dip inside my pussy.
A loud keening sound escaped me, and I couldn’t hold back another moment. I rode him, alternating between pushing back on his fingers and thrusting forward toward his tongue. Ecstasy rolled over me and I nearly blacked out I came so hard. Even as my orgasm began to ebb, Wolf kept teasing me, pushing me for more. He didn’t stop until I came twice more and my thighs were shaking so bad I worried I’d collapse and suffocate him.
Wolf released me and I toppled to my side, my lungs straining for air as the world spun. How could it get better than what we’d already shared? The man was beyond amazing. He leaned up on his elbow and ran his finger down my nose, across my collarbone, and down the slope of my breast.
“So fucking beautiful. I could make you come all night long and never get enough of you. I like the sounds you make. The way your cheeks flush. Your taste.” He placed his hand over my pussy and shoved two fingers inside, pumping them in and out. “How hot and slick you are. The way you grip me when I hit just the right spot.”
“Max, please…”
He drove his fingers into harder. Deeper. “Come for me again.”
I lifted my hips, silently asking for more. He used his thumb to stroke my clit. It only took a few strokes before I was crying out his name and gripping the sheets so hard I worried I’d rip them. I felt my release soak the bed under me, but I didn’t care right now.
Wolf reached for the condoms and tore one off. I watched as he rolled it down his cock. I’d expected him to take me right then and there, but he apparently wasn’t done playing yet. He worked my pussy with his fingers again, wringing another orgasm from me. I was on the precipice of yet another when he covered my body with his and thrust inside me.
“Max!” I clutched at his shoulders. He stretched me wide, making me burn and yearn for more. He drove into me, each stroke making it feel as if he were claiming me, trying to brand me as his own. Sweat coated his skin and he leaned down, his lips near my ear.
“So tight. Wet.
Fucking perfect.” He growled. “Mine!”
“Yes! Yes, I’m yours, Max.”
“Gonna ride this pussy hard, and one day you’ll give me your ass too.”
His words were enough to trigger another release and it felt like I was floating far above the earth. Pleasure zinged through me. Wolf slammed into me three more times, grunting with each thrust. When he stilled, buried inside me, I knew he’d just ruined me for anyone else. No one would ever be able to compare.
The fog cleared from my mind a little and I looked down the length of our bodies. I noticed he’d braced most of his weight on his good leg, and somehow managed to use the other one to balance. I’d wondered how things would work in the bedroom. I should have known nothing would deter him from taking what he wanted.
His cock twitched and throbbed inside me, and I clenched down on him. He groaned and reached down to grab the top of the condom as he pulled out. When I felt a rush of wetness between my legs, my heart skipped a beat. That felt like way too much to just be from me. The look on his face said it all.
“Fuck, Glory.” His gaze held mine. “It broke.”
He pulled back and I saw it hadn’t just broken. The damn thing had popped like a balloon. I only hoped there weren’t any pieces left behind. Wolf rolled what was left down his cock and palmed it.
“Looks like it ripped down the side. I’m so fucking sorry.”
I ran my hand down his arm. “It’s not your fault, Max. We both knew a condom wasn’t a foolproof form of birth control. They fail all the time.”
