Sexy Bastards Anthology: Bad Boy, Biker, Alpha, Motorcycle Club, Contemporary Romance Collection

by Lexy Timms

  That kiss he had given her, the way he had shielded her body with his own before she had been outed by that loudmouthed cop came to mind. He’d been happy to see her and he had done everything to protect her.

  Her cell phone rang and she answered it without looking to see who was calling. Her heart sank when her father’s voice came through.

  “Kathleen, I have it on good authority that you were at that bar today.”

  “The one where somebody set off firecrackers?” Her heart twisted. Was her father to blame for the deaths of that other crew? He might have ordered them roughed up, that was his style, but murder was not. However, he had investors, and she had no doubt a few of them were ruthless enough to be involved. “It’s none of your business where I go.” He wanted to push her? Then she’d fire questions at him if he pushed her hard enough.

  “You’re throwing your life away.”

  She could almost hear him shaking his head as he spoke. “No, Father. That was what I was doing up till now. I’m a person. Not your minion. Do you even love me at all?” She didn’t give him time to respond. Anger grew inside of her, the anxiety of today exploding. “If I had been a boy would things have been better? Maybe I could have taken it then, but I can’t. I won’t. You are only fooling yourself. Living a fantasy of control.”

  “You know if you walk away, there will be nobody to carry on—”

  “I don’t care!” she screamed. “You want this. You fucked this up! I never asked to be something I’m not! I deserve to have the chance to find out who I am and what I want. Not what you want.”

  “You are making the biggest mistake of your life.” His voice stayed low and cold. Emotionless.

  “Maybe it’s the best thing, Father.” She hung up.

  She wanted to feel sorrow but she couldn’t. It was almost like she’d shed a skin that was too tight and for the first time she realized just how much it had constricted her.

  Her parents would never love her. Her father would likely cut her off. She had her trust fund though and they couldn’t do anything to take that back. It was her severance pay as far as she was concerned, payback for all the years they had treated her so badly or ignored her. All the times she had spent sleepless nights agonizing over making sure one thing or another was perfect only to be taken to task for one small mistake or perceived mistake.

  She would not be a Wilkes anymore.

  She was free.

  She’d go buy the car she’d always wanted, find a job that spoke to her, buy a house and decorate it just the way she wanted to and she would never worry that the housekeepers would see her panties on the floor or a crumb on the counter. She would live a great big glorious life, and she would not ever again worry about pleasing anyone but herself.

  And Morgan.

  Pleasing Morgan would be easy. She’d give him his freedom, and he would do the same. She had to learn to stand on her own two feet. Morgan would teach her.

  Penny had told her that night at the party. She’d said the only way to love a biker was to love the way they were no matter what, and the only way to keep a biker was to let them go. To be as strong as they were.

  She could do that.

  **

  Morgan rode through the neighborhoods, his booted heels stopping the bike at curbs. This was serious and all the dealers knew it. They passed on the cash they owed without a word. Morgan and his crew were good to the neighborhood, and now the neighborhood had to repay some of what it had gotten over the years.

  He knew Katie could have written a check as easily as she breathed, and he also knew he was probably crazy for not letting her. But it went against everything in him to let her do it. She was his girl, not an ATM. He wanted to show her he would never treat her like that.

  Another thought wouldn’t leave him alone. He was filled with grief over Craig. He would have to do something about Craig at some point and he knew it. Craig would come looking for revenge, and he would either have to be killed or beaten so badly he never tried it again.

  He didn’t want to fight Craig.

  Nate had been right when he said he’d be doing Morgan a favor by having a ‘chat’ with Craig. Nate and his crew would kill Craig though—and it would not be an easy death. It would be hard and torturous. He caused what had nearly come to a war between the clubs, and because of Craig, several of Nate’s men had been hurt at the bar.

  His lips twitched as he remembered Katie shooting the big guy in the ass. She’d been dead serious, and had a damn good shot too. One day he’d have to ask where she learned to shoot like that. The way she had taken out the gun from the one guy had been nothing short of impressive.

  She was extraordinary. Impressive as hell, and she could be his. If he let her. He knew how she felt about him. He also knew exactly how he felt about her.

  He swore he’d never fall for anyone again.

  He hadn’t been looking for anyone when she had come walking through the door of the bar in those spotless white pants that cupped her ass and made her look like a dream designed by a horny teenaged boy.

  She had come into his bar, his life, and she had turned it all upside down. She was nothing that he expected, and everything he wanted. She was phenomenal, and he knew he was lucky. He’d be an idiot to throw this opportunity away.

  He also knew she would break his heart. And that could kill him.

  Morgan collected the money from another street crew and got back on his bike. He knew he couldn’t say no to Katie.

  It meant he’d have to teach her the code of their road, how to respect the elders of the club and that his brothers always came first. He knew they had already accepted her. They’d stood with her instead of Craig.

  When he finished doing what he had to do, he was going to her, then they could discuss being together.

  Building a life together.

  Freedom meant a lot of things, but it didn’t mean walking away from love.

  CHAPTER 14

  The knock on her door came later that night. Katie opened it after peeking through the little peephole. Morgan stood in the hall, freshly showered and shaven. His hair was combed but it still fell in messy waves across his forehead.

  She stepped to the side and let him in. “You all in one piece.”

  He pulled her into his arms. “It’s sorted. For now.”

  She held onto him tightly. “I’m glad.” Should she tell him what she had done? Or wait? “I called the cops.” She held her breath.

  He stiffened. “You did what?”

  She realized her mistake. “Not on you. On my…I told them I believed the killings out at the other clubhouse might be related to a multimillion-dollar deal going down.” She grinned as he stared at her, his mouth hanging open. “Then I called the news stations and told them too.”

  “What the hell?” He shook his head. “This could ruin your father. Why would you do that?”

  She shrugged. “If anyone comes looking at you, we’re covered.” A cold grin spread on her lips. “My father can handle himself. The great Blake Wilkes has plenty of tricks up his sleeve.”

  He grabbed the belt hooks on her jeans and pulled her tightly against him. “You’re crazy! Very smart, but a little crazy.”

  “I don’t think I’m crazy at all.” She kept the business tone in her voice, mimicking her father. “If you make your bed. You have to lie in it.”

  His laughter filled the room. “Katie, you’re the wildest, craziest, most beautiful woman I have ever met. I’m never going to let you go. I hope you realize that!”

  She slipped her arms over his shoulders and clasped her fingers around the back of his neck. “Good. Because I’m not planning on going anywhere. Ever.”

  She lifted her mouth to his for a long kiss and when he finished kissing her, he picked her up and carried her to the bed. She closed her eyes as his mouth met the flesh of her neck.

  She had walked away from one life, a life that had been all she had ever known, into one that was everything she had ever wanted.

  The Recruiting Trip

  Aspiring college athlete Aileen Nessa is finding the recruiting process beyond daunting. Being ranked #10 in the world for the 100m hurdles at the age of eighteen is not a fluke, even though she believes that one race, where everything clinked magically together, might be. American universities don’t seem to think so. Letters are pouring in from all over the country.

  As she faces the challenge of differentiating between a college’s genuine commitment to her or just empty promises from talent-seeking coaches, Aileen heads to the University of Gatica, a Division One school, on a recruiting trip. Her best friend dares who to go just to see the cute guys on the school’s brochure.

  The university’s athletic program boasts one of the top hurdlers in the country. Tyler Jensen is the school’s NCAA champion in the hurdles and Jim Thorpe recipient for top defensive back in football. His incredible blue-green eyes, confident smile and rock hard six pack abs mess with Aileen’s concentration.

  His offer to take her under his wing, should she choose to come to Gatica, is a temping proposition that has her wondering if she might be with an angel or making a deal with the devil himself.

  Chapter 1

  Crystal

  I stalked down the campus sidewalk, my thoughts on overdrive. Why was it that spending years mostly away from him had done nothing to lessen the impact those dark eyes and that brooding smirk had on me?

  I'd turned in my Human Physiology final, then nearly swallowed my tongue when I walked out of the exam room into the lobby of the building and saw him on the tiny TV in the corner. They'd only showed him from a distance, but I knew it was him. Only one member of my dad's MC wore a beanie pulled low, swaggered like that, and filled out a Mad Marauders MC cut like that. My heartbeat had tripled as I rushed to the TV and turned the sound up, my eyes plastered on the fiery Viking helmet and sword in the center patch. I clenched my teeth as I listened to the reporter's human interest bullshit. Before he disappeared into the clubhouse, I realized he wasn't limping at all. What in the hell did that mean?

  The piece had only lasted another few seconds, but after I saw it I had run out onto campus, shaking with anger for him. They didn't use his name, but some smartass reporter had dug up his past and was now trying to use it to further her career. I wondered if she had contacted him yet. Asked him for an interview. If she had, I wondered how that fuck you had tasted to her.
