AN OUTLAW MONSTER (A Back Down Devil MC Romance Novel) (21 page)

“
Yes,
”
Trev said.

Cash smacked the table.
“
Goddamn, there is a God.
The last time I had some of the Russian pussy I could taste it for days. Oh,
fuck, I
’
ll never
forget her
…
just her
name
…
but she climbed
up on my face and rode me so hard there
’
s
probably still some of my beard inside her. I think her name was Kathryn. Kate.
Katie. Kat. Ka
…
or
maybe it was Sarah.
”

“
So,
not to spread too much excitement,
”
Trev said,
“
but the
plan is to stay and enjoy the evening with our other continent comrades. Peter
and Ivan are hell bent on Nevada and I told them I would talk to Miller and
make sure they
’
d have
support from the MC.
”

“
Does
that negate this fighting shit?
”
Duke asked.

“
Hardly,
”
Trev said.
“
Just a favor that we could
call back on.
”

“
I
’
m good with fighting,
”
I said, taking in all the
conversation.
“
I
think it
’
s important
we really show our strength to everyone we can get to. Look at this from an
outside point of view. You have a clubhouse falling apart. Ripper dealing
behind the MC
’
s back.
The new President is from another charter. We look shaky. We look unstable. And
this gun shit is making it worse. Let me get in the ring with their best guy
and rock his fucking world.
”

“
He
’
s putting up Denis,
”
Trev said.
“
The guy is a world
champion fighter.
”

“
Shit,
”
Jasper said.

“
What
happens if the worst happens?
”
Max asked.

“
What
’
s the worst?
”
I asked, curling my lip.

“
You
get your ass tattooed out there,
”
Tristan said.
“
Then
what?
”

“
We
look foolish,
”
Trev
said.
“
Peter and Ivan
move on. If I had to guess, I
’
m
sure they
’
d still be
wiling to help in some way. Their version would be bloodshed. They prefer a
rampage kind of style and then hightail back to Russia until the smoke clears.
We don
’
t have that
option here.
”

“
So
don
’
t lose the fight,
”
Jasper said with a grin.

“
I
’
m not losing anything,
”
I said.
“
If I go down, I
’
ll personally rip this
enforcer patch off my cut and hand it over.
”

“
We
would never vote you out for that,
”
Hudson said.

“
I
didn
’
t say to take a
vote,
”
I said.

“
What
’
s the word on Night Soul?
”
Cash asked.

“
We
’
ve got them on the wire,
”
Trev said.
“
Rocco and Gunner are
settled for the moment. I reassured them we are working with the O
’
Nuall family about their
guns. They have no choice but to believe us. What happened with Mays shook them
up.
”

“
And
Daxton?
”
I asked.

“
He
’
s missing still,
”
Trev said.
“
We
’
re well protected here. Rocco has his men out
looking too.
”

“
Anything
else?
”
Jasper asked,
looking around.

I rubbed my chin and raised my
hand.
“
I
’
ve got something to say.
”

“
Shoot,
”
Trev said.

“
This
might sound out of line, but I
’
m
going to call for a favor when I win this fight.
”

“
We
’
re getting cash for this
fight,
”
Jasper said.
“
Cash to protect our club.
”

“
I
’
m not looking for a favor
from the Russians,
”
I
said. I looked around the table.
“
I
’
m looking for a favor from
this club. This table. My brothers.
”

“
What
kind of favor?
”
Trev
asked.

“
I
know how to end all of this
…
and make some money to rebuild ourselves
…”

twenty-six.

I slipped my hand over Eden
’
s swollen belly and bit my
lip. I was so nervous touching her stomach, but she insisted on me doing it. I
knew sometimes pregnant women were touchy about being touched and rightfully
so.

Butterflies kicked up in my stomach
as I touched her. Of course, I used my left hand and the second I saw the ring
on my finger it made me think of Trent, marriage, and now pregnancy.

That was just too normal though,
right? An outlaw like Trent
…

I gasped. I looked at Eden.
“
I felt it. I mean, him. Or
her. The baby.
”

Eden laughed.
“
Yeah, she kicks quite a
bit.
”

“
She?
”
I asked.

Eden smiled big.
“
Don
’
t say anything. Right now, me and Trev are
keeping it low key. But I want to freak out.
”

“
Why?
”

“
Because
it
’
s a girl,
”
Eden whispered.

“
I
thought women wanted little girls.
”

“
A
little girl in this life?
”
Eden asked.
“
I don
’
t know. It
’
s scary.
”

I glanced around the clubhouse and
then laughed.

“
What
’
s so funny?
”
Eden asked me.

I took my hand from her stomach and
touched her hand.
“
Hey,
you can look at it two ways. One, you
’
re
going to have a daughter in a really scary world like this one. But we both
know the other side of this world isn
’
t
much better. Two, that little girl who is going to grow into a young woman and
then a woman is going to have a built-in family and plenty of bodyguards who
aren
’
t just going to
talk the talk but walk the walk.
”

Eden snorted.
“
I feel bad for anyone who
looks at her.
”

“
So
what
’
s there to worry
about?
”

I saw in Eden
’
s eyes there was plenty to
worry about. It was sort of nice to make a friend in the clubhouse. Eden sat at
the end of the bar like royalty. She was the President
’
s old lady, so in some ways that made her
queen.

All it took was one bullet to
change all our lives.

“
So
that ring on your finger
…
,
”
Eden said.

“
Yeah,
”
I said.
“
I don
’
t know. Trent
…”

“
Say
no more,
”
Eden said.
“
Just let me give you a
small piece of advice.
”

“
What
’
s that?
”

“
I
walked into this life, just like you. I knew nothing of it. But the one thing I
learned, Harlee, is you
’
re
either all in or out. There
’
s
no in between. In between gets you killed.
”

I squeezed Eden
’
s hand.
“
I know. Trust me, I know.
”

Eden
’
s
eyes then filled with tears. She rolled her eyes up and sighed.
“
Shit. I cry at the dumbest
things. I
’
m just
picturing you and Trent getting married. How silly.
”

I inched forward and hugged Eden.
She hugged me back. Again, the embrace of another person who understood this
life, and a woman, it just felt good.

The moment was nice, but short
lived.

I heard a whistle and both me and
Eden turned our heads so our cheeks were touching.

There was Trent, Trev, and Cash
standing there.

“
Fucking
ace,
”
Cash said.
“
Look at this. Cheek to
cheek. You know, I
’
ve
seen some really good porn that starts like this. The pregnant woman aching for
another woman
’
s
touch. Oh
…
fuck yeah
…”

Trev swung a hand and slapped Cash
in the shoulder, sending him stumbling back.
“
Cut
it, asshole.
”

I pulled away from Eden.

“
Everything
okay?
”
Trent asked.

“
Perfect,
”
I said. I stood up.
“
Hey. I could stay here
while you
’
re gone. I
could help out Eden.
”

“
I
bet you can help her,
”
Cash said.

“
I
think we need to break his jaw,
”
Trev said.
“
Just snap
it in half. So he
’
ll
shut up.
”

“
I
’
m good with that,
”
Cash said.
“
As long as my hands aren
’
t broken. So I could jerk
…”

“
Cash,
”
Trent said.
“
One more word and no
Russian pussy.
”

That seemed to shut Cash up pretty
fast.
“
I
’
m, uh, going to grab a
beer then.
”

Cash walked away, finally.

“
About
me staying,
”
I said.

I saw Trent look from the corner of
his eye to Duke. Duke was at the bar, next to Max, talking. Duke glanced at
Trent and the tension was wildly instant again.

“
No,
”
Trent said.
“
I don
’
t want you here, darling.
Not while I
’
m gone.
”

“
She
’
ll be safe, brother,
”
Trev said.

“
I
actually wouldn
’
t
mind being in an apartment,
”
Eden said.

“
Yeah?
”
I asked.

“
Yeah,
”
she said.
“
It
’
s crammed here. Loud. Smelly. Damn bikers.
”

Trev laughed and grabbed Eden,
bringing her to her feet. He touched her stomach.
“
Yeah? Smelly? You don't seem to mind.
”

“
Don
’
t talk dirty with your
hand on my stomach,
”
Eden said.

“
Only
when I
’
m behind you,
right?
”

“
Stop!
”
Eden squealed. She
blushed and slapped Trev
’
s
shoulder.

I looked at Trent, feeling
uncomfortable because I wondered if that was our future.

“
I
don
’
t like it,
”
Trent said.

“
It
’
s fine,
”
Trev called out.
“
I
’
ll call up from another charter, too. We
’
ll keep half the table
here for protection. Let the women have a night off for a change.
”

Trent curled his lip at me. He wasn
’
t happy with me.

I started to reach for him and he
walked away.
“
We
’
re leaving in five
minutes.
”

That
’
s
all he said to me.

I looked at Eden, then Trev.

“
Good
luck with that one,
”
Trev said.

“
He
really is a monster,
”
I whispered.

Trev laughed.
“
Yes he is, Harlee. And now
…
he
’
s your monster.
”

**

My back was against the shower
tiles. Trent groaned each time he fucked forward, pounding into me. It was the
hottest and angriest sex of my life. I purposely dug my nails into his back as
hard as I could, scratching and breaking skin. That only seemed to fuel his
wild fire. His hands cupped my ass so hard and spread me so wide, I knew there
’
d be handprints for days
on my ass.

Great.

His tongue swirled around my left
nipple and then his teeth clamped down, hard and fast, pulling. I let out a
scream and tried to wiggle out of his grasp, but I was completely and totally
his. He pulled his mouth away and ran the tip of his tongue up my chest to my
neck. He started to kiss to my ear and then came across my cheek and settled at
my mouth. Our noses touched but our lips didn
’
t.

Our eyes locked as tight as my
pussy to his cock.

I loved him.

Not just fantasy stuff either. He
dug his way into my heart the way he dug into my panties ten minutes ago.

I took my hands off his back and
grabbed his face. I dug there too, now I was the one gritting my teeth at him.

He fucked hard. He fucked fast.
He
fucked good.

Right up to the last thrust, each
one was better than the previous.

As he started to come, his hands
moved to the back of my legs and lifted me even higher. I grabbed at his arms,
his bulging biceps were slippery from the water.

He pulled back so damn slow and
plowed into me with gentle care. I felt his cock literally throbbing as he did
so. I felt the mess of our sex pouring from my body. I felt a connection that
went deeper than just his dick inside my pussy. He pressed his chest forward,
touching mine. It was like he wanted our hearts to touch one another.

Trent then stayed there. He stopped
fucking me. He put his forehead to mine.

We stayed just like that until the
water ran cold.

Then Trent carried me to his
bed.

**

He stroked my cheek with the back
of his hand. I stood next to his motorcycle. Jasper, Cash, Kye, Xavier, and Max
were all in a line. There was another motorcycle there, empty, which was Trev
’
s. He was inside with
Eden, probably trying to beg her to go back to the clubhouse.

“
Don
’
t leave for anything,
”
Trent said to me.
“
Got that?
”

“
Yes.
”

“
You
need anything. Food. Drink. Anything. You tell a prospect or a member. Anyone
gives you shit, you call me.
”

“
You
’
re really going to fight
someone for money?
”

“
It
’
s what I have to do. I don
’
t lose, darling. At
anything. I
’
ll be
back here before you know it. Then this shit will die down and we can talk
about you becoming my old lady for real.
”

I blushed when he said it,
wondering how honest he was being.

His thumb grazed by my lips and I
kissed it. Trent then took his hand away and winked at me. He put on his
sunglasses and started his motorcycle. Behind him, the rest of the MC riders
did the same. I stepped back as Trev came out of the apartment building and got
on his motorcycle.

I stood there, clutching my chest
as the rumbling of all the motorcycles. Eden stepped up next to me and we both
stood there and watched our men leave. Our hands touched and we grabbed for
each other, knowing damn well there was a good chance they
’
d never come back.

The thundering sound continued
after they were out of sight.

I looked at Eden and she looked at
me.
“
The baby kicks
like crazy when she hears a motorcycle.
”

I smiled.

My heart raced and I wanted to cry.

I knew what was real inside me
and what I felt
…
but I didn
’
t
know what was real for Trent
…
and worst yet - would I ever know the truth?
