AN OUTLAW MONSTER (A Back Down Devil MC Romance Novel) (24 page)

I got to the doorway and looked
back at Ana as she finished cleaning things up.

“
Hey,
Doc,
”
I said.

She smiled at me.
“
Yes?
”

“
Thank
you. You
’
re good at
what you do here. Now do me a favor and go find a guy named Cash. Take care of
him with your mouth.
”

I walked into the shower feeling
almost shameful.
The monster
had given up on some fresh, delicious pussy
for what? For Harlee? For a woman that I saved because I thought she could be of
use with the club? For a woman I threw a ring on her finger to save her ass a
second time?

I stripped out of jeans and turned
on the water. I purposely stepped into the cold water and felt my body tighten
up. When it turned warm, I put my hands to the tile and stood there, letting
the water wash away dirt and blood. My shoulder still ached but Dr. Ana had
really patched me up good.

I shut my eyes and took a few
breaths.

I had to stay in the moment, right
there in reality. The fight was over. Trev had the cash. He and Jasper were
already making the calls. My plan would be presented to the table and we
’
d enact on it. My role of
enforcer
would be pushed to its limits but the MC would prevail.

Piece by fucking piece it seemed it
was all coming together.

The only lingering issue was Harlee
and what to do with her. I couldn
’
t
pull back on the engagement and disrespect Trev. I couldn
’
t send her ass packing
from the MC and town either. I cared too much. Fuck me, I really cared about
her. Not just her body but her
…
like her mind, her heart, shit, even her soul.

Maybe I loved her.

That thought jolted my eyes open.

Love her? Me
…
the monster
…
the enforcer
…
in love
…

Before I could assess the thought
again to make sure I hadn
’
t
gotten hit too fucking hard in the head, I felt something touch my back.

Two hands. Nails.

Tits.

My back tightened and I saw two
feet appear next to mine. Small, cute feet, with hot pink toenails.

I swallowed hard and gritted my
teeth.

Shit.

“
It
’
s okay,
”
Dr. Ana whispered.
“
I
’
m here to take care
of you and nobody else tonight
…”

**

I saw her hand slide around to my
stomach and inch down. I tore my hands away from the tiles and spun around. The
water pounded against my back and splashed at Ana
’
s
naked body. She was built to fuck. That
’
s
the only way to describe her. And she stood with a sense of confidence that she
knew she was built to fuck.

Her hands touched my chest and I
grabbed her wrists. She stuck her chest out at me, starting to breathe a little
heavy. Everything on her body was smooth and clean, like ripe fruit primed for
picking. Yeah, my mouth was hungry, that was just instinctive nature kicking
in.

“
Trent,
”
she whispered.
“
I was paid a lot to make
sure you were taken care of. Whatever they had arranged, they knew you would
win. I
’
m ready and
willing to do anything you want. There
’
s
nothing you could say that would make me say no to you.

Ana pulled at her left hand and I
let her go.

I felt my cock gently throbbing. My
brain and heart were in a fearless battle, competing against lust and love.

Fucking love.

Ana put her middle finger to her
bottom lip and pulled. She then drew a straight line down to her throat and to
her tits. She had super small nipples, killer tight, and when she ran her
finger over the left nipple, it tripled in size, pointing right at me. She then
kept going down, her skin breaking out in goosebumps. The line traced down to
between her legs. Her middle finger disappeared for a few seconds as she put
her head back, groaning.

I took a small step toward Ana,
knowing I was damn well within my right and need to have her. Fuck anything
around me. If Harlee couldn
’
t
stand the life, then she could get out. Being my old lady was about being mine.
If I wanted my dick sucked, I
’
d
get it sucked. If I found a piece of pussy that was ready for my dick, I
’
d fuck it. That was how it
was in the world I called home. We were out on a ride. I had just won a fight
where some asshole tried to kill me. The rage, the anger, the reaper breathing
on my back
…

I put my hands at her waist and
grabbed her. I shook her and she grabbed my wrists. Her left middle finger was
slippery, fresh with her own wetness. Her tits jiggled so perfectly. My mouth
was starving. I was like a man who had just survived the desert for a month
with no food and water.

Ana touched my neck with her hands.
Her tits pressed together. My cock started to fill up even more. Once I got
hard, that was it. There was no letting go. No shut off switch. I wouldn
’
t stop until I was fucking
done and emptied out.

“
Yes,
”
Ana whispered.
“
Trent. Anything, okay?
Whatever you want.
”

I felt the moment of hesitation.
The second to make my final choice. Push her away or pull her close.

My hands opened and I let out a
growl that echoed off the tiles.

“
I
’
ll do everything myself,
”
she said.
“
You just stand right
there.
”

Her hands were back at my chest. As
she slid them down, she also started to slide down. All I could think about
then was her thin lips wrapping around my thick cock. She could take it all, I
knew it. She had that look in her eyes that she wanted to surprise me with her
abilities.

“
Fuck,
”
I whispered.

I took a step back from her.

Goddammit. I was in love with
Harlee.

It went deeper than the old lady
bullshit. It was
…

“
Trent!
”
a voice boomed.

A second later Trev appeared in the
doorway. He ran right at me, not even giving a shit that some woman was halfway
down to her knees to suck me off.

“
Prez,
”
I said.

“
We
have to go right now,
”
he ordered.

Then he turned and started to
charge away.

“
Prez!
”
I yelled.

“
I
said right now!
”
Trev
screamed.

Then he looked back with a look in
his eyes I
’
d never
forget.

“
What
is it?
”
I asked.

I reached forward and pushed Ana
away.

Sorry, darling, but you were
already dead to me to begin with.

“
Just
get dressed and get ready to ride like hell,
”
Trev said.

“
Tell
me right now,
”
I
said.

“
Eden.
Harlee.
”
He shook his
head. He swallowed a big lump in his throat.
“
Someone
attacked your apartment
…
set it on fire
…
I don
’
t
know what to expect when we get there
…”

**

The last place I wanted to go was a
hospital. Hell, if I was at a hospital, it should have been for myself. But it
wasn
’
t. I scaled the
hallway, charging forward like a bull ready to attack. The lights above me were
almost like strobe lights as I moved so fast. I called out Harlee
’
s name as I ran. Behind
me, I heard Trev and the other guys only a couple steps behind.

Goddamn Trev
…
I couldn
’
t
imagine what it must have felt like for him. Not only was his old lady in the
hospital, but she was pregnant. Fuck whoever did this to Harlee and Eden. They
were going to pay
…

I turned another corner and I saw
Duke standing there.

He looked like a wall, like he
wanted to block me.

He stood outside a hospital room
and when our eyes met, something snapped inside me again. It wasn
’
t his fault but he was the
easy target.

I put on the brakes and made fists.

“
What
the fuck happened?
”
I
asked.

“
The
apartment was on fire,
”
Duke said.
“
I got
there just in time. Found them both
…”

“
Where
’
s Eden?
”
Trev growled.

“
They
have her in a different room,
”
Duke said.
“
The baby
…”

“
What
were you doing there?
”
I asked.

Duke looked at me.
“
Excuse me?
”

“
What
the fuck were you doing there, Duke?
”
I asked.

“
You
’
re kidding me.
”

“
You
’
ve wanted her dead because
of what she did to you,
”
I said.
“
You didn
’
t realize Eden was there,
did you?
”

“
Bite
your tongue, asshole.
”

“
I
’
ll rip yours out,
”
I said.

I lunged forward, shoulder first. I
collided with Duke and took him back to a wall. We hit a picture and it fell,
shattering. I grabbed his leather cut and spun him, slamming him against the
wall behind us.

“
What
is wrong with you?
”
Duke bellowed.  He swung a hard fist and got me in the jaw.

I absorbed the punch and then
pushed at him, taking him to the wall again. I pulled my fist back and felt an
arm hook around my arm.

“
Fuck!
”
I yelled.

“
Not
here,
”
Cash said.
“
Brother, stop this. Why
would Duke hurt us?
”

“
He
’
s a fucking asshole,
”
I yelled.

“
Both
of you!
”
Trev
growled.

I turned and saw Trev
’
s hand fly at me. He had
me by the throat and pushed me away. Truthfully, I could have killed Trev. I
was the
enforcer
. I was the muscle. I was the monster. But he was the
President. And I could see the terror in his eyes.

“
Go,
Prez,
”
I whispered.
“
I
’
m sorry.
”

The hospital door opened as Trev
turned and ran. Xavier and Max went with him. Cash slipped behind me and Duke.
I saw the rage in Duke
’
s
eyes.

Who the fuck else would do this
though? It made sense, right? Duke plotted a way to knock off Harlee while I
was gone. He attacked the apartment but didn
’
t realize Eden was there. So then he
fucking saved them
…

“
Everything
okay out here?
”
a
nurse asked.

“
We
’
re great,
”
Cash said. He walked
right to the nurse. I felt bad for the pretty little thing.
“
Hey, can you help me with
something?
”

“
Uh,
sure,
”
the nurse
said.

“
Do
we have an open room somewhere? I have this cramp
…”
Cash gritted his teeth and gently placed his right hand between his legs.
“
It
’
s down here. I need some attention
…”

“
Is
she awake?
”
I asked,
pointing to the door.
“
Harlee?
”

“
Yes,
”
the nurse said.
“
Only family
…”

I was already at the door. I looked
at the nurse. I felt my heart racing and twisting at the same time.

“
She
’
s
…
I
’
m
…
we
’
re family
…”

thirty.

(harlee)

I remembered Duke. His mouth near
my ear. Telling me I was going to be okay. Then he disappeared. I reached for
him but he was lost in the smoke. I shut my eyes and rolled to my side, wishing
Trent would come save me.

That
’
s
when the world went black.

I opened my eyes and I was in the
hospital.

A nurse telling me to just stay
calm and relax. She touched my leg and told me I inhaled some smoke but I was
going to be fine. I was going to be released and there was nothing to worry
about. Just to stay calm
…

That
’
s
when I heard a thundering sound. Walls slamming over and over.

The nurse left the room and I was
left alone.

In the silence of the room, I
started to piece the rest of the night together.

The door to my room opened again. I
turned my head to the left and when I saw Trent, I let out a gasp.

He was really here.

But he looked really rough. Really
beat up.

When he realized I was awake, he
charged to the side of the bed and crouched down. His hand grabbed mine, his
other hand reaching for my face. He stroked my cheek and then leaned over the
bed and kissed me.

I knew I loved him already but that
kiss made it all that much more true.

So true that I
…

“
I
love you, Trent,
”
I
whispered as his lips moved away from mine.

My jaw then dropped, realizing what
I
’
d done.

Trent touched my cheek and slowly
gave a nod.
“
I know,
darling. I feel the same.
”

“
You
love
…”

“
Darling,
I need to know what happened,
”
Trent said. He grabbed for a chair and sat next to the bed.
“
Tell me everything.
”

So I filled him in. With every
detail I could remember - the two windows breaking with the flaming bottles.
The smell of the chemical and then the smoke getting so thick, so fast.

I watched anger wash over Trent
’
s face in a way that
scared me. It scared me because I could see in his eyes that not only did he
actually love me but he would do anything to avenge my pain. Even if it cost
him his life or cost him time in prison.

I grabbed for his hand but he
pulled away and ran his hands through his hair.

“
Fuck,
”
he said.
“
This was well planned.
This was an attack on you and Eden. It wasn
’
t
Duke.
”

“
No,
”
I said.
“
Trent, no. He saved us. I
got Eden to the living room and she lost it. I didn
’
t know what to do. I tried to drag her. She
was
…”
My lips started
to quiver.
“
Oh, the
baby. Trent, tell me she
’
s
okay.
”

“
I
don
’
t know,
”
he said.
“
Trev is checking on her
now.
”

“
Duke
saved us both,
”
I
said.
“
He showed up
at the last second. He took Eden out first. Then he got me. He called for help
and came to the hospital with us.
”

Trent stood up.
“
Christ. Duke saved you.
”

“
Yeah.
Why?
”

I saw guilt on his face.
“
You heard those noises out
there?
”

“
Yeah.
”

“
That
was me and Duke.
”

“
Trent.
No.
”

He leaned down again and put his
head to my chest. I grabbed for his hair. He smelled like sweat, steel, and
man.

“
Fuck,
Harlee,
”
he
whispered.
“
I swear I
love you. You have my head and heart all tied up in a big knot right now.
”

It probably was the worst time for
it, but having his head touching my breasts
…
well, it did stuff to me. I felt my toes curl. My hands touched his back and I
tried to squeeze him.

Was this the monster being
vulnerable to me?

“
I
know who did this, darling,
”
Trent said. He lifted his head and was just a few inches from me.
“
Goddammit, I know who did
this.
”

“
Who?
”
I asked.

“
Daxton,
”
Trent said.

That sent a cold ripple through my
body. Then Trent started to pull away even more. I sank my nails into my arms
and shook my head.

“
Darling,
”
he said.
“
He can
’
t hurt you. He fucked up.
He fucked with my club, my old lady, the love of my life. He
’
s dead.
”

“
He
’
ll find me,
”
I said.
“
I can
’
t go back to the
clubhouse, Trent.
”

Trent leaned over me and kissed my
forehead.
“
Darling, I
’
m just being honest with
you. If he attacked the apartment he figures his work is done. I
’
m going to find out the
truth. Right now, you
’
re
going to stay put until the doctor says so. I
’
ll
keep Duke here, okay?
”

Strangely, that actually comforted
me. I was supposed to kill Duke, but he had saved me from the fire. I trusted
him to save me again.

“
But
I don
’
t want you to
leave,
”
I said.

“
I
won
’
t,
”
Trent said.
“
But I need to talk to
Trev. I need to check on Eden and the baby. I need to get my brothers together
and meet. So if I
’
m
not in this room, Duke will be out there.
”

Trent kissed me again, harder than
before. He stayed right there too, our lips and tongues playing a flirty game.
His hand touched my breast and he kissed down to my neck. I put my head back
and swallowed hard. Just hours ago I had been so close to dying. Now I had this
wild outlaw
’
s hands
on my body.

Trent kissed down to the top of my
hospital gown and then paused.

He pulled at the gown, sliding it
down my shoulder. I watched as he began to expose my left breast. His mouth
then latched to me, making my whimper as I looked to my left, knowing the door
was right there. It was unlocked. Anyone could come inside the hospital room.

As Trent
’
s tongue sliced left and right against my
nipple, I thrust my chest at him, wanting more. I craved more. I couldn't
imagine not having Trent
’
s
mouth and body pleasuring me. I couldn
’
t
accept death, ever. Trent gave me a purpose to live and want to live.

His other hand moved down and went
right up my gown. A moment later, his fingers touched between my legs. I bent
my knees and inched down, offering everything to him. He curled his fingers
around the top of my panties and pulled them down as far as he needed. The
second his fingers touched my wet skin, I shivered and grabbed for the railings
on the bed. Of all things in all the places, I never thought
…

Trent
’
s
teeth clamped tighter against my nipple. I gasped and whimpered, desperate to
scream, but I didn
’
t
want to give us away.

Two fingers eased against my folds,
making circles until he pressed against my center. So slow he pushed, his two
fingers entering my body. The first inch was calm but then he thrust hard and
deep, sinking his fingers into me. I bucked at him, bouncing on the bed.

Trent took his mouth from my breast
and looked at me.
“
Easy,
darling. Don
’
t press
the nurse button or else this is going to turn into a threesome.
”

“
Asshole,
”
I whispered.

“
Yeah?
”

I felt his thumb graze my clit and
I jumped again. He repeated the move over and over teasing the hell out of me.
Finally, I grabbed his wrist and sank my nails into him like they were venomous
fangs.

“
Please,
”
I begged.
“
I couldn
’
t imagine not having you
anymore, Trent. I don
’
t
want to die. Not with you in my life.
”

Trent lowered his mouth near mine
again.
“
You never
have to worry about that, darling. I
’
ll
always protect you. I
’
ll
always save you. I
’
ll
always
…
take care of
you.
”

With that, he kissed me.

His two fingers were back inside
me, twisting, opening the floodgates,
literally.
His thumb pressed to my
clit and I felt myself almost instantly ready to explode.

Trent was now my world, the only
world I needed and wanted.

But for us
…
the fire in the
apartment wasn
’
t
the end of death chasing us down
…
