I had tried to remain calm, but his eyes were doing wild things to my insides. When I finally caught his attention, my pussy had clenched in excitement. Giving him a signal I dragged him into the woman’s bathroom, and as soon as he walked in, the air was literally sucked out of me and an all-consuming arousal started to heat up my insides. I couldn’t believe how I had acted. I let him touch me and kiss me and although I shouldn’t have, I wanted so much more and I let him know it. But I needed him to disappear, I couldn’t let him be seen. I also needed him to trust me. Being in his arms gave me a sense of safety I hadn’t felt in a long time, and letting him go was probably the hardest thing I’d ever done.
I tossed and turned in the worn-out sheets. Everything felt uncomfortable, I hated this damn place. I made sure when we first got here that I had my own room. I told Rafael that I needed my own personal space and he was fine with that, since he wasn’t the type to cuddle. This gave me the freedom to do what I needed to do. My plan started to formulate and I prayed that the man I needed for the job, was willing to go into the lion’s den for me.
The next morning I got word that Rafael had to go to Vegas for a drop off. He’d be back the following night, which was the perfect time to start getting things ready. That afternoon I made an excuse to the guys that I needed to go do some shopping. They all groaned and chuckled as I flipped them the bird and headed towards my bike.
“Don’t wait up for me boys! I’m gonna take my sweet ass time!” They all waved me off or just ignored me.
I checked my mirrors as I made my way downtown. I stopped at a shop and bought some underwear and a new pair of boots. If you say you’re going shopping, you need to bring back proof. I sped down the roads and finally stopped a few blocks away from Ravenous. I parked my bike in one of the side alleys, making sure it couldn’t be seen by The Gremlins in case they decided to do a quick run of the place.
I stared down at my motorcycle and shook my head. “I couldn’t have chosen black?” I whispered crossly as I stared down at the red Sportster. She was all I had and I had grown more than fond of riding on her back, but she was the least inconspicuous thing I owned. I patted the seat and headed down the street towards the club.
I raised my eyes to the cameras that slowly started to follow me. Smiling, I knew that these guys were no fools and I actually appreciated that about them. They were hardcore and just what I was looking for. As soon as I got to the door it was pulled open by a tall burly man. He had on a white t-shirt and a vest with the Death Row Shooters patches along it. He grunted as he signaled for me to come in. I watched him warily, taking in his taut jeans, and long muscled torso. His arms were as big as my thighs and they rippled as he moved. I couldn’t help but stare at the guy, I mean what woman wouldn’t, he was yummy.
“Sorry about Poe, he doesn’t say much.”
I turned, searching in the dim light for the source of the deep rumble. When I finally got a glimpse of the man, I gave a small gasp. The man coming towards me was sinfully attractive. If all the Hellbound Lovers looked this good then I needed to switch my lifestyle choices and quick.
“Hi, I’m Wolf Stone,” he reached his hand out in greeting and I hesitated for a moment before shaking it. “What can we do for you?”
“Mr. Stone,” I nodded in greeting, putting my professional face on. “My name is Chastity Burke and I came to ask for your help.”
Wolf’s eyebrow rose as he assessed me for a long moment. “I’m all ears,” he stated and I felt a little less hesitant to speak with the man. “Come on in, I’ll get us something to drink.”
“A bottle of water is fine for me. I don’t drink on the job.”
Wolf frowned, staring at me fixedly, but after an intense second he went off to get me that bottle of water. When he came back he had another GQ model standing beside him.
“This is Grayson Carter, he’s the club’s VP.”
The man smiled at me and I had to admit, I melted a little. “Taking his hand in a warm shake I smiled back. “Nice to meet you, Chastity. Mind if I join you?”
I had read about both these men. They were well respected and honorable bikers. They never intentionally hurt anyone, and if there existed a fatality or two on their hands, it was only due to self-defense and I couldn’t fault them for protecting their own.
I pointed to the chair before me. “Please do, I’m glad both of you are here actually.”
“Are you now?” Wolf sat down to my right.
I nodded as I opened the bottle. “I really wanted to speak with you, but if Grayson’s here that should be fine.”
“You talk like you know us.” Grayson narrowed his eyes on me.
I let out a laugh. “Sorry. I’ve read so much on you guys I almost feel like I do.”
Wolf looked over at Grayson and a slight frown crinkled his forehead. “Explain yourself.”
“I’m Special Field Agent, Chastity Burke.”
“Field Agent?” Grayson repeated.
I nodded, but before I could continue I felt the hairs on the back of my neck rise and my body became fully aware of the man at my back. I stood up and slowly turned around. My sole focus was now on the man before me. Wolf and Grayson had nothing on this man. This man had literally become the source of every dirty fantasy I’d ever had. I licked my lips as I took him in, and I could feel my panties getting damp as he started walking towards me. The butterflies in my stomach went crazy, a warning to keep my eyes focused on the bigger picture and not on the sins I wanted to commit with Jason Gunner.

GUNNER
“What the fuck are you doing here?” As much as I yearned to take her back to my place and defile the pretty thing, I wasn’t born yesterday. I wasn’t sure of what she wanted and at this point no one could be trusted.
She raised an eyebrow and perched a hand on the curve of her hip. “Now is that a way to greet a guest, Jason?”
“Jason?” Grayson raised an eyebrow but I ignored him.
“You’re no guest. You have another agenda, you made that perfectly clear last night.” I growled.
“You guys have met?” Grayson looked from me to her, an amused smirk on his face. Still ignoring him, I kept my eyes glued on the angel before me.
“I asked you a question.”
“She’s with the FBI,” Grayson huffs. “Or so she says she is.”
“I have my credentials. You can call Gabriela Cristiano, she works in the LAPD and is someone you could trust. She’ll back me up.”
“So why didn’t you tell me the truth last night?” I growled.
She shrugged at me. “Didn’t deem it necessary.”
“And you didn’t think it was necessary to tell me you were a good guy?” I came up toe to toe with her and she remained stoic. The only visible sign that I affected her, was her slight intake of breath.
“My safety depends on keeping my mouth shut. So no. I didn’t think it was necessary to tell you my life story in the bathroom of a Gremlins bar.”
I frowned at her and she simply smiled at me without a care for my anger. She unequivocally knew how to press my buttons, every fucking one of them. And standing there looking at me, wearing those damned, red, fuck me boots, I swear I wanted to press every button she had until she was begging for my cock. I watched as she turned her back to me, showing me her tight as fuck ass as she ignored my question.
“I have intel that states that the Gremlins are working with La Cruz. I know a few men who have already gone into the business deals that The Gremlins have offered them, including Rafael Espino. There’s some heavy underlying drug smuggling going on, masked in shipments of cheap liquor. I have everything in hand, but I need you to cooperate. I know you wanted to cooperate with the police before, and I know what you’ve done for this neighborhood. These guys are bringing in drugs and their doing it through those liquor shipments.”
“We were told not to get involved.” Wolf snarled.
She nodded. “By who? Lowery? Mother fucker’s as crooked as
they come. It’s been years since I’ve wanted bring that piece of shit down.” She looked at the men and sighed. “Look, all I’m asking is for some support. You help me bring down The Gremlins and I assure you that will take out La Cruz and even Lowery.” She fixed her eyes on Grayson.
“What do you want us to do?” He asked quickly. He had a vendetta against the cartel and La Cruz and I couldn’t blame the guy. If anyone threatened my family that way I’d want to kill him too.
“I heard you guys are good at surveillance. Some of you are even ex-military.”
Grayson nodded. “Most of us. Gunner used to be a Sniper, didn’t you Guns?”
I grunted in response. I felt her eyes on me. “You were the one on the roof the other day? I should have known.”
I looked up at her pretty brown eyes and gave her a questioning look.
She shrugged. “I’m a professional. I check my surroundings at all times. It’s a habit.”
She’s a woman after my own fucking hard-on.
“What do you want?”
“I want you.” I hated that my cock hummed in agreement.
“Careful sweetheart.”
“I need a man like you on the inside. You walked in and out like you owned the place last night. No one took notice nor did they care who you were.”
“No one?” I teased.
She sighed and frowned at me. “Are you willing to help me or not?”
I never broke her eye contact as my question was directed to Wolf. “What do you think, Prez?”
Wolf sighed. “What exactly do you need from us?”
She blushed slightly under my heated look, but managed to regain her footing with Wolf. “I need you to accept the deal.”
“What?!” Wolf shook his head.
“Look. La Cruz already approached you. If you go at it like you’re trying to one up the Gremlins, he won’t suspect anything.”
“That’s not an option. I’m not putting my family in danger again.”
She leaned in on the table, giving us all an eyeful of her ample cleavage, her plush round tits perked up in that black tank top. I gripped the back of my chair and nearly groaned. The woman was a hard ass and fucking sexy as hell.
“You’re already in danger Mr. Stone.” She insisted. “All you have to do is accept, and Guns here can be my wingman on the inside. I’ll have eyes on my back, and you’ll have all the information you want.”
I frowned. “And how do you plan to get me in?”
She smirked. “You’re my cousin, from Montana. Looking for a place to stay, thought I’d bring you in.”
“You knew who I was from the start, didn’t you?” I stated.
She gave me a once over and met my gaze. “I’ve already told you, I’ve done my research on you Jason Gunner. Ex-military, never stays in one place long enough to get noticed. You proved to me what you’re made of last night. You’re a ghost, and I like that. You’re also a good shot, and if shit goes down like I think it might, then I’d like to have a good man on my ass.”
My cock twitched at her choice of words. More like, ‘in’ that sweet ass of yours, baby. But that still didn’t explain why she needed the outside help.
“Why us? Don’t you have a partner, undercover cops you can call?”
“I’ve been riding with the Gremlins for over a year now. I’ll admit, I’ve done a few things I’m not proud of and that includes being Rafael Espino’s woman.” She looked down when she mentioned his name. “But if I bring this shit down, that means I take down one of the largest cartels surrounding Los Angeles. No one knows who I am here, especially not the LAPD. It’s all hush, hush. I can only call my own trusted reinforcements.”
“And you decided to call us?” Grayson asked.
She nodded. “You may not know it, but you’re the good guys in my eyes. I’m asking for your help.”
I watched her mannerisms and an accent came out when she seemed passionate about something. “You’re not from California.”
She looked up at me then. “New York. But I’ve been away from home for a long time.”
I nodded. “I know the feeling.”
“So you’ll help me?”
I smirked. “You pitch a good game, for a girl.” I looked over at Wolf and shrugged. “I’m in.”
“Me too.” Seconded Grayson.
Wolf seemed hesitant and his gaze went to the back staircase where it lead to his family. He was looking for a home now that he had two babies to think about. This wasn’t a place for them anymore. Not for kids anyway. Only big kids.
“Fine. I’ll do it. But I need a guarantee that if something happens to any member, their families will be kept safe.”
She nodded and reached out her hand. “You have my word.”
Wolf reached out and shook it, sealing the deal.

CHASTITY
Shit had been tense in the last year and Rafael barely let me in on his trips and jobs anymore. But today was going to be different. I was bringing in Gunner, and Wolf was in the process of setting up a meeting with La Cruz. Everything was going according to plan.
As we pulled up to the new bar I saw a few of the Gremlins members seated out front. Gunner pulled in next to me and took off his helmet.
I took a moment to take him in. Man, was he gorgeous, and not in the pretty sense, he was rogue worthy. His chocolate brown hair was cut close to his scalp leaving the top slightly raised. His beard was what I liked the most, giving him that shaggy, unkempt look that turned me on so much. Most women wouldn’t have liked it, but I would just die to feel it rub against the sensitive part of my thighs. He also had these penetratingly intense light blue green eyes. Every time he looked at me I felt like he was looking straight through me, into my soul. Right now, his eyes were staring at me like he wanted to eat me up, which I didn’t mind at all. Then again, I had to be more careful , he was supposed to be my cousin.
“Hey, Brick! Flathead!” I waved at them as I dismounted and I felt Gunner’s body heat at my back. It was almost comforting to have someone on my side for the first time in a year.
“Hey Chas! Who you got there?”
“This is my cos, Guns. We’re here to talk to Ralfie, you seen him?”
Gino pointed to the side back door. “He’s out back!”
“Great, thanks.”
“Nice to meet you, cos.” He nodded at Gunner, and he responded with a grunt. I smiled at how perfect he was for the job. Shit, he was perfect in every way.
As we made our way to the back of the building Gunner leaned into me and I could feel his breath at my neck sending a shock to my loins. “Guns?”
I smile back at him. “It’s either that, or give them your full name. I also liked when Grayson called you that. It’s cute.” I tease and he grunted, almost making me laugh.
We entered the back of the bar and found Rafael putting out orders to make room for the new shipment.
“Hey baby!” I ran up to him like I always did, and wrapped my legs around his waist. I couldn’t have him doubting my affection at this point. From the corner of my eye I caught Gunner clenching his fist and cracking his knuckles, while turning his head away. I quickly jumped off of Rafael after giving him a quick peck on the cheek. For some reason, I didn’t want Gunner to think I was enjoying the moment. It was all a show, a very convincing one at that, but it had to be for this to work.
“Hey babe.” He swatted my ass as I turned towards Gunner. “What’cha got here?”
“Ralfie, baby. This is Guns. He’s my older cousin. Just came in from Montana and is lookin’ for a place to crash. You think we can hook him up?”
Rafael came up to Gunner and I almost laughed at how small he looked compared to the muscled giant I had brought in. “My Old Lady’s cos, huh?” He looked him up and down and walked around him. “Tell me cos, how long you thinkin’ ‘bout bein’ here?”
Gunner glanced at me for a second. “Don’t have anything definite planned.”
Rafael nodded. �
�What are you good at?”
Gunner shrugged. “Pretty much anything.” He fixed his eyes on me. “I’m really good with my hands.”
His innuendo was more than clear, and it was strictly mine to understand. The image of his hands roaming my body made me blush and I stepped in on the conversation. “He’ll do anything you ask of him, baby. He’s a fast learner.”
Rafael looked at me and smiled. “Anything for my girl!”
He reached out a hand and I took it. Tugging me in I draped myself to his side. “Thank you.” I whispered, and forced myself to give him a small peck on the lips.
He ran a finger across my cheek and spoke to Gunner without taking his eyes off me. “Get your stuff, you’ll be staying back here for now. I’ll set you up with a cot or somethin’. There’s a couch and a small fridge in that back room there.”
He trailed his fingers down to my chin and playfully tilted it up. “Why don’t you get your cousin settled in and come meet me upstairs afterward. I need my baby today.”
I nearly gagged inside, but I managed to force a smile. “You got it, baby.”
I slowly walked Gunner over to the back room, feeling his anger emanate through me. I turned on the light to one of the back rooms and sighed. It was dingy and all around horrible. Not at all what I wanted for him, especially since he was risking his life for me.
“Sorry about tha…”
I gasped as the door slammed, nearly breaking off the weak hinges. He stood seething in the middle of the room. Well, the small room since he pretty much encompassed half the place.
“What did he mean about going upstairs?”
I looked up at him and his eyes darkened. As I answered, my eyes went down to my feet. “Exactly what you’re thinking.”
He slammed his hand against a metal shelf and the loud clanging reverberated through the small room, making me flinch. Shame ran through me and a flush painted my cheeks.
