The roughness of the lace scraped across my nipples, making them even harder, and the panties were damp within minutes of putting them on. I stared at my reflection, head cocked, trying to compare this new May with the old one. I’d dried my hair, then used the curling iron Grizzly had purchased. He’d bought some mascara and a pot of lip gloss, but no other makeup, which was fine. I seldom wore any. I could have used some hairspray, but he hadn’t picked up any.
I worked the mascara into my lashes, watching as they darkened and seemed thicker and longer. Using the tip of my finger, I smoothed the gloss over my lips. With the tousled curls and new underthings, I looked… not like me. I liked the changes, though. I still couldn’t compete with the women I’d seen here before, but I no longer looked like sweet little May either. I was walking a line somewhere between the two.
The door opened and I spun, eyes wide and arms crossing over my chest as Grizzly tromped back into the room. The second he saw me, he froze. The man blinked twice, growled like the bear he’d been named after, and slammed the door shut. My chest heaved with every breath as I watched him, feeling like a mouse about to be pounced on.
“You’re fucking gorgeous, May.” His gaze skimmed over me before rising again to linger on my breasts. He came closer, reaching out and prying my arms loose. “You have no idea the things I’d like to do to you right now.”
The deep rasp of his voice and the hunger in his eyes made me shiver. I stepped closer, my breasts pressing against his chest. I felt the hard length of his cock through his jeans and my cheeks warmed. “No one’s ever seen me like this before.”
Oh, they’d seen me in my two-piece swimsuit, but this was different. I knew the lacy material didn’t exactly hide much.
“Killing me, Princess. Fucking killing me.”
“Thank you for the clothes and other stuff.” I licked my lips, trying to be seductive but I probably looked like an idiot. A seventeen-year-old virgin and a biker. We were as different as night and day. I looked up at him from beneath my lashes.
He lowered his head, his lips by my ear. “If I didn’t know how innocent you are, I’d tell you exactly how you could thank me. I’m going to lose my damn mind tonight, knowing you have this on under your clothes. I want to kiss you. Mark you. Make sure every damn brother down there knows you’re mine.”
I swallowed hard, my breath catching. I wanted that, so much, but I didn’t know how to ask him for it.
His voice dropped lower. Got deeper. “I can see your nipples, May. How hard they are. Makes me want to pull down the cups of your bra, suck those hard little buds into my mouth, and see just how wet I can make you.”
“Oh, God,” I murmured, barely holding back a whimper.
“You ever let a guy suck your nipples, May?”
“N-no.”
He placed his hands on my hips, squeezing. “Just how far have you gone, Princess?”
I wanted the ground to open up and swallow me. I knew Grizzly was experienced. What would he think of just how little I had? “I’ve kissed before, and…”
He growled. “And what, May?”
“They’ve touched me. My breasts. Under my shirt. A-and one… one of them put his hand down my pants. Over my panties.” I wasn’t going to count the touches a few had taken without permission.
His hold on me tightened until I knew he’d leave bruises. “You’re mine now, May. You understand? Your breasts? Mine. Those pretty nipples? Mine. And your pussy is damn sure mine. Anyone touches you and I will cut off their fucking hand and shove it up their ass.”
His words should have frightened me, but they didn’t. If anything, I burned even hotter for him. Was something wrong with me? Violence shouldn’t turn me on, should it? Or was it only because it was Grizzly making the threats?
“Then maybe you should touch me.” I sucked in a breath the moment the words left my mouth. I hadn’t intended to say them.
His eyes turned darker, his expression fiercer. A little shiver ran through me as I watched him struggle for control. I wanted him to let go, to do whatever it was he wanted. I needed to know what it would feel like for him to kiss me, really kiss me. To touch me.
“You don’t know what you’re asking for, May.”
I looked up at him. “I’m seventeen. Nearly eighteen. I know you’re older, but I’m still legal. More than. Or is it because I’m a virgin?”
He closed his eyes and drew in a deep breath. “Sweetheart, you have no idea what it does to me, knowing you’ve never been with anyone before. I don’t like that others have touched you, but they didn’t get all of you.”
I reached up and tugged on his beard. “They wouldn’t have had that much if someone hadn’t been so stubborn.”
His eyes flashed a moment, going even darker. “What are you saying, May?”
I pressed even closer to him. “I was waiting for you. You’re the only one I’ve ever wanted, John. You keep saying I’m yours. Prove it.”
I didn’t know where those words had come from, or why I’d gotten so bold. I was more the type to stick my nose in a book and hide in a corner than go after what I wanted. Until now.
His jaw tightened. “It may not be illegal for us to be together, but people around town aren’t going to look too favorably on a relationship between us. Not just because of who I am either. You might be legal, but you’re still in high school.”
“I didn’t know you cared what other people thought.” I hesitated a moment. “Or is it more that you’re embarrassed to be seen with someone in high school?”
“It’s not me I’m worried about, May.”
In other words, he was holding back for me. To protect me. I couldn’t be angry with him. As badly as I wanted his lips on mine, his hands on my body, I wouldn’t push him.
I felt a bit of my spark die. “So you won’t kiss me?”
He reached up, gripping my hair in his hand. “Oh, I’m going to kiss you. I’ll even do a little more. But the big finale? That we’re saving for your birthday. My club may not care, but I won’t have the people in this town looking down on you.”
I couldn’t hold back my smile, and then he was kissing me. His lips devoured mine and he thrust his tongue into my mouth. The way he held me, tasted me, made every part of me want to beg for more. It felt like fire licked along my skin and burned me on the inside. My panties weren’t just damp. They were soaked.
John groaned and the hand still at my hip slid around and down to grab my ass. I squeaked in surprise when he gave it a squeeze. Without breaking our kiss, he managed to topple us to the bed, the weight of his body settling over mine. He moved his hand from my ass up my ribs, his thumb brushing the underside of my breast.
“John.” His name was little more than a whisper between kisses. “Please. Please touch me.”
He drew back and gazed down at me, his eyes holding mine as he tugged down my bra. When he cupped my breast, stroking my nipple, my clit throbbed. He held my gaze as he lowered his head and took the hard peak into his mouth. He sucked, licked, and even nipped it before switching to the other side. I ran my fingers through his hair, holding him to me. Nothing had ever felt so amazing.
If this was what sex was supposed to feel like, I could understand why the girls in my class were so eager to sleep with the guys at school. No one’s touch had ever made me want more. I’d endured the others because I thought there was just something wrong with me. Now I knew different.
“John. I-I…”
He pulled back. “So fucking beautiful, May. I’ll be jerking off later, remembering the way you look right now. These beautiful tits on display, your cheeks flushed.”
I squirmed beneath him trying to ease the ache that was building.
“Ever had an orgasm?” he asked.
I shook my head.
He leaned down and kissed me again. “Goin’ to make you come, May. Give me that first orgasm. Let me see how pretty you are when you’re falling apart.”
He slid his hand into my panties and his
fingers stroked my pussy. I moaned and spread my legs farther. I’d always thought I’d feel embarrassed if I was laid out like this, but I wasn’t. Not with Grizzly. He rubbed my clit with his thumb, and I felt his finger slide inside me.
“So tight. So wet.” He peppered my lips with kisses before moving to my breasts again. “Come for me, angel.”
The sensations rolled over me, stealing the breath from my lungs. When I didn’t think I could take any more, he pressed on my clit a little harder and it felt like the earth fell away. My body tensed and my thighs trembled. A keening sound escaped my lips before I could hold it back as wave after wave of pleasure crashed over me. When it abated and I was able to focus again, I saw him smiling down at me.
He pulled his hand from my panties, then stuck his finger in his mouth. My cheeks burned as I watched.
“You taste good, angel. Makes me want to drink it from the source.”
I gasped and clutched at the bedding.
“But right now, you need to get dressed so we can head downstairs. Just remember who you belong to.” He nipped my neck, biting a little harder before releasing me. “And now the others will know too.”
My hand went to my neck and I knew he’d left a mark. The possessiveness in his eyes made me want to stay right where I was, and finish what we’d started. I understood why he wanted to wait, but it didn’t mean I had to like it.
I finished dressing, tugging on the low-cut black tank and skintight jeans. The boots he’d picked out for me laced up and had decorative buckles on the sides. Thankfully, they had a modest heel. If he’d gotten me spiked heels, I’d have ended up on my face. I’d never figured out how to walk in them.
Grizzly helped me tuck in my shirt, his fingers lightly stroking my belly. He pressed another kiss to my lips before picking up a belt off the dresser. He slipped it through the loops on my jeans and fastened it. It had small silver studs dotting the length of it and was definitely meant for someone more badass than me.
“Let’s go show them what you’ve got,” he said. “And, May, no matter what happens, don’t back down. You show them fear, and they’ll tear you to shreds.”
I swallowed hard and nodded. Good to know. I was determined not to embarrass him. I didn’t think I was nearly as tough as Magda, but maybe one day I would be.
I followed him to the main area. Smoke hung heavy in the air and music blasted from a jukebox in the corner. The party couldn’t have been going for very long, and yet the room was packed. My eyes went wide when I noticed a few women were already topless and one had stripped all the way down to the skimpiest pair of panties I’d ever seen. The lace ones Grizzly had bought for me seemed like granny panties in comparison.
I tightened my hold on his hand. One of the topless women homed in on him, a smile stretching across her bright red lips as she sauntered over on sky-high heels. The way her hips moved mesmerized more than one man as she drew nearer. If I’d tried to walk like that, I’d have probably fallen.
“Grizzly! I’ve been waiting for you.” She pouted and ran a long fingernail down his chest. “I thought you’d never show up.”
He gripped her hand and shoved it away. “Not now, Donna.”
Her gaze slid over to me, her eyes narrowing. “Who’s this little bitch?”
Grizzly let out a growl and he snarled at the woman. He really did sound more animal than man most of the time. The fact my panties got wetter every time he rumbled at someone like a damn bear should have probably concerned me. I’d always been taught good girls didn’t end up with guys like Grizzly. But he was all I wanted.
“She’s none of your concern,” Grizzly said. “Move the fuck away, Donna. I’m not dealing with your petty bullshit tonight.”
The look she cast my way was enough to make the hair on the back of my neck stand up. She wasn’t done, not by a long shot. I had a feeling I needed to watch my back around her. For whatever reason, she seemed to feel like she had some sort of claim on Grizzly, and she didn’t like me encroaching on her territory. Had they slept together? Did I even want to know?
One of the other Devil’s Fury members came over, eyeing me like a piece of meat. “Fresh blood? Isn’t she a little overdressed?”
“This is May,” Grizzly said.
The guy blinked and straightened before backing up a step. “Shit, sorry. Bullseye told us about her, but he didn’t mention she was a damn knockout. I’ll spread the word so you don’t have brothers trying to get in her pants all night.”
“What exactly did the Pres say?” Grizzly asked. “He excused me from Church so I could buy a few things for May.”
“She’s under club protection. More specifically, under yours.” He glanced at me again. “You have shitty parents. I have no idea why they’d work for a bastard like Cartwright, but we’ll keep you safe. Name’s Beacon. You need anything, just ask.”
I gave him a smile of thanks and noticed his patches said he was the club Secretary. As we moved through the crowd, I met a few more of the members, including the Treasurer, King. Even though I’d seen him earlier, we hadn’t been formally introduced. I had to wonder about Beacon’s words. What did he mean my parents worked for Cartwright? And so what if they did? The man was well-known around town, and no one seemed to look down on him. I had a feeling there was something I didn’t know, something important.
Grizzly stopped at a table along the wall and sat, tugging me onto his lap. He gave a nod to the man on his left. “This is Blades. He’s fairly new to this chapter. On the other side of him is Freckles.”
I waved at the two redheaded men. I wasn’t about to ask why Blades had been given such a tough name while Freckles had the name of some cute pet. I didn’t think I wanted to hear the answer.
“I’m Yeti,” the tall blond next to me said, holding out his hand. I gave it a quick shake, thinking he seemed familiar. He smirked. “We went to school together. Dropped out last year and patched into the club.”
That’s right. Now I remembered him. We’d had a few classes together, even though he’d kept to himself. William Brown. I’d wondered why he’d dropped out. It wasn’t all that uncommon. More than one girl I’d gone to school with had gotten married and dropped out, and several of the guys had gotten full-time jobs. I’d stuck it out, even though I didn’t know what I’d do next with my life. My parents had never discussed my plans for after I graduated.
“Don’t you worry, little girl.” Blades smiled at me. “We’ll keep you safe. The way this one here is holding onto you, I have a feeling he wouldn’t mind you sticking around even after your parents have been handled.”
My cheeks warmed as I glanced at Grizzly. I wouldn’t mind either. I’d love nothing more than to be his and stay with him. Although, I hadn’t imagined everyone would be so accepting of my presence. The guys were treating me like a little sister, but the way Bullseye and Killer had spoken before, I’d expected them to demand I strip down and service them or something. Whatever he’d said to them, it must have had a very big impact.
“I wouldn’t mind if he wanted to keep me,” I said, my cheeks getting hotter by the minute.
Yeti flicked the spot on my neck where Grizzly had bitten me. “Seems he’d like that, seeing as how he marked you and all.”
“Surprised you didn’t tell the Pres you wanted a property cut for her,” Blades said, eyeing Grizzly.
“I did, but I won’t put her through the shit the club requires for her to prove herself. There wouldn’t be a brother left breathing afterward. Any fucker who touched her would die a bloody and painful death.”
Blades studied him quietly. “I understand. If I had a sweet thing like her, I’d want her all to myself too.”
One of the mostly naked women sauntered over and ran her fingers over Grizzly’s shoulder. She gave me a malicious grin as she leaned forward, putting her bare breasts in his face.
“Want to have some fun?” she asked him. “You know I’ll give you anything you want.”
Grizzly eyed her breast
s before looking up at her face. I tensed on his lap, wondering if he’d take her up on the offer. Even though he’d said I was his, I didn’t remember him saying he was mine. Did it work that way? What happened if he wanted one of these women? Would I have to sit back and just pretend it didn’t happen?
“Did I give you permission to touch me?” he asked.
Her smile faltered and she removed her hand. “You haven’t complained before.”
He motioned to me. “Does it look like I’m here to party with the likes of you? Show some fucking respect for me and my woman.”
She frowned, her gaze flicking from him to me and back again. “She’s not wearing a property cut like Bullseye’s old lady.”
I saw Magda making a beeline for us. I didn’t know where she’d come from, but the fierce look on her face warmed me. My parents had never stood up for me, but it looked like Magda was about to come put this woman in her place. Which made me realize I shouldn’t let other people fight my battles. If I wanted Grizzly’s club to accept me, I needed to prove I belonged her.
Standing up, I turned to face the woman who still hadn’t backed off. I folded my arms and lifted my chin, hoping I looked far braver than I felt.
“Are you deaf?” I asked her.
The woman snarled. “Stay out of this, bitch.”
I straightened to my full height, which was still barely five feet. When she put her claws on Grizzly again, I knew I had to do something or risk these women running roughshod over me. I let out a breath and reached out, grabbing a handful of her hair. I yanked, tumbling her to the floor at our feet. When she tried to stand, I tightened my hold on her hair and shoved my booted foot down onto her chest.
“I’ll fucking kill you!” She screeched and beat at my leg, but I didn’t let go. I felt Magda stop at my side, her presence bolstering me.
