Sentinel - Devil Riders MC Book 1 (MC Romance Novel with FREE Bonus Novel!) (17 page)

“What did I do?”

“You escaped and they didn’t arrange it. You’re a loose end and they won’t know what you do know.”

“But the cops have them.”

“Those two are middle management and will be out on bail by the end of the day. All we did was get back some deadly weapons and put a knot in their tail. The cops know who to watch now, and that will piss them off more than anything.”

“Tony knows I don’t know anything.”

“They won’t care what Tony thinks. I wouldn’t be surprised if he isn’t dead by the end of the week. And rather than worry about you, they’ll just put out a hit on you.”

She sat back, knowing he was right. “So they’ll come after us? Can we hide somewhere?”

Rafe shook his head. “Not around here. If they stumble across us they’ll kill us in a heartbeat.”

A sob made her choke. “They’ll have to stand in line.”

Rafe nodded. “Right. You were already on the run. Now, so that we do this right, I need you to tell me the truth.”

“Which truth?” She flashed a weak grin.

“About who is after you?”

She smiled. “A very rich guy who used to be my boyfriend. He turned out to be a psycho—his name is Benny. When he got abusive I left. Apparently he wasn’t done with me. He hired thugs to find me.”

“That’s why you left?”

She nodded. “Another creep, Justin, came to the club to blackmail me. I wouldn’t sleep with him, so he investigated me and made the connection. He said if I didn’t fuck him he’d tell Benny where I was. I told him to shove it, and he grabbed me. Trigger and Chopper came to help out. They beat the shit out of him and after they wrecked his pretty face, I knew he’d tell Benny. Benny has enough money to hire an army, and he’s a vindictive bastard. That meant that everyone at the bar was at risk, including Trish.”

“So you ran.”

“More or less.”

Rafe chuckled. “Well, by comparison, somehow Benny doesn’t seem like such a threat at the moment.”

It did seem funny. “No, I don’t think Benny’s army is all that menacing when you think of the mob being after us.” She frowned. “I don’t suppose you have a plan?”

He laughed. “I thought plans were bad.”

“An idea then?”

“As a matter of fact, I have an idea or two. You ready to hear some pretty crazy thoughts?”

With a pounding heart, she leaned over and kissed him. “Later.” She kissed his chest, let her tongue trace a line over his nipples, and over the ripple of his abs, and then down to where his cock was growing stiff again.

“At the moment, I have a thought about the present that I want to explore.” She moved down further, smelling the musky odor of his arousal, of their previous lovemaking. She breathed on his cock, savoring the way it reacted to the simple fact of her nearness, and the way it grew hard at her touch. She held it, examining the slight upward bend and pictured the way it felt curving up inside her. She kissed the head and the soft sigh that escaped his lips made her smile. She licked her lips, then opened her mouth and held it as she took his throbbing flesh in her mouth and began to suck him.

“Oh, Chrissy,” he said, sounding hoarse with lust as she bobbed her head, taking him, licking him.

His hands touched her head, guiding her gently as she gave him pleasure. She reached her free hand to cup his big balls, to hold them and wonder at the soft nuggets inside the scrotum as she brought him to the wild edge, and teased his hard cock, caressed his balls until he lost control, until his cum was flooding her mouth. He gasped and groaned with his release and giving pleasure had never made her feel so happy.

When she smiled up at him, licking his cum from her lips, he pushed her onto her back. “I’m going to eat that sweet pussy of yours until you scream.”

She sighed, and spread her legs wide for him. For her man.

* * * *

She woke in soft morning light, with Rafe gently touching her, his hand warming her breast as he caressed it. She let her eyes close again and sank into a contentment she’d never known before. She let herself pretend that they had been like this since the beginning of time, she and Rafe, and that nothing would ever change. Her body, ravaged and pleasured by his ardent lovemaking made it almost believable and she imagined having Rafe beside her forever, ready to make love to her whenever she wanted.

“We have to make some decisions,” he said in a deceptively soft voice.

She snuggled against him, wrapping herself in his warmth and smells. She didn’t want to think, or move out of the bed, his arms. “If I have to decide anything, then it’s that I get to be on top this time,” she said. “I want to excite you again then mount that hard, wonderful cock and ride it until you come inside me.” With Rafe she felt bold, daring. With Rafe loving her, she could be fearless.

“That sounds good, but we also need to talk about what happens when we get out of bed.”

“Next year some time?”

He winced. “A bit sooner than that, I’m afraid. Not only will we need to do something about food, but we will need to get moving.”

“We’re leaving?”

“Down the road a bit. In a couple of days, the government, well Mandy, I’m not sure it’s all through channels, will have new identities for us. We’ll have driver’s licenses, passports and birth certificates.”

The idea shocked her. “We’ll be other people?”

“That will make it hard for anyone to find us. Gun runners, the mob, ex boyfriends…”

“But people know us on sight.”

He nodded. “That’s why we have to move on.”

“But Trish… the bar… the club.”

“I decided this was the last job, that my life needed to change. I gave the bar to Trish. Trigger and Chopper have our pay and they’ll open a garage.”

“And you and I?”

He pushed her on her back. “This is where the big decision making comes into play. I know you are tired of running. The new identity includes relocation. They’ll give you a job, background, enroll you in college, and even provide a house. Not even Benny’s money will help him find you.”

“Me? What about you?”

He frowned. “I can’t see myself working in a straight job, living in a suburb. I’ve never done it and there is a reason for that. The neighbors would want to talk about crabgrass and I’d tell them about making an assault on a hill in desert terrain. Can’t see that going anywhere.”

“So what will you do?”

“Have bike, will travel. I told you that my bike picks the trail, and lately she’s been urging me to take a trip south.”

“That bitch is trying to separate us.” She heard the snap in her voice.

“Unless that’s what you choose too.”

“I can go with you?”

He kissed her. “If it’s what you want. You’d have to give up the idea of school and it would mean living on the road unless we found a place we couldn’t stand to leave.”

“And money?”

“I have some savings from previous jobs that are fortunately in an offshore account. I’ve saved every penny that didn’t go into my bike or the bar, so we’d have plenty for a long time. Then, if we get desperate, we could knock off a bank somewhere.”

She laughed. “Well except for the bank robbing, that sounds good.”

“It means staying on the run.”

“More like just on the move. These new people we will be aren’t running from anything, are they?”

“No, they even have nice credit scores.”

“So are you asking me to travel with you on some sort of mindless wandering?”

“Pretty much.” He sat up. “Actually, I should man up and ask for it outright.” He paused. “Chrissy, will you marry me—whoever the hell the government decides I am?”

A shudder ran through her. The bastard had caught her completely off guard. Of course the entire situation was absurd. When life got this crazy, no matter what you expected, it was likely to be wrong. Absurd, wrong, and completely wonderful. She stroked his cheek and saw his uncertainty as he waited for her answer.

She took his cock in her hand again. Talking about their future had aroused him as much as it had her. She kissed his chest and then, still stroking his hard cock, trailed kisses down his chest and belly until she faced that wonderful erect shaft.

“Chrissy?”

She stuck out her tongue and licked the head of his cock. “Shut up,” she said. “Can’t you see that whoever I’m going to be is accepting your proposal?” Then she opened her mouth and took the throbbing flesh in her mouth. His soft moan was music to her ears, and as she sucked him, he tangled his hands in her hair.

She devoured him, cupping his balls with a hand and holding them, caressing them ever so gently until she felt her Rafe tense. He gasped and began pumping his warm seed into her mouth. She swallowed his cum, and she rolled her eyes up to see his face, loving how much pleasure she was giving him.

The smile he gave her made everything even better. “Way to fucking answer the question, whoever you are.”

* * * *

George and Keri Dean rode the big motorcycle across San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge and into the city. “Wow,” Keri sighed. Dazzled at the sight of the city, she leaned forward to shout over the wind into George’s ear. “Can we play tourist here for a couple of days? I’d like to see Fisherman’s Wharf.”

“If you want,” he said. “I think we can squeeze it into our busy social calendar. Sure, whatever you want… Keri.”

The new names still sounded strange to them both, but they’d get used to them. Getting used to being his wife was something else again. Every day seemed to include some new magic. The travel itself, feeling the freedom of the open road with her arms around this fantastic man was more wonderful than any adventure she’d ever imagined. They roared down the highways and she let the world spin by, knowing that when they camped or took a hotel for the night he would make passionate love to her. She was addicted to him, to his loving, arousing touch.

Her life was filled with irony. It was a smorgasbord of delicious ironies. She’d always hated running, thinking that sooner or later she needed to take a stand, yet she’d chosen a life that would keep her in some kind of perpetual motion. She’d thought she needed to stop and find out who she was, but meeting Rafe, loving him, had told her all she really needed to know about herself. With him, she was strong.

She’d wanted to be free—not be some man’s toy and she’d found freedom with Rafe, or George, whoever the hell he was. A shared freedom. He encouraged her to be who she was.

She’d always tried to plan her future and then execute the plan, and now she reveled in never knowing what the next day would bring.

All she knew was that life was magical and to be lived. Being on the road with her biker lover made that possible. Magic made all the ironies the world could throw at her nothing more than curiosities.

The wind whipped her hair. She had let it grow out because it felt good when the wind pulled it back as they rode that bike, roaring down the highway. And it felt even better when Rafe tangled his strong fingers as he made love to her, when her Devil Rider rode her.

Tess Bailey will never forget the day that Eli Flint burst into her life. He's a hard man, tempered by a life lived on the edge - but Tess sees something in his intense blue eyes; something that grabs her and just won't let go.

Eli's an ex-con; he served three years for selling guns as a member of the notorious Sons of Flame MC. Now he's out, and he wants to put his past behind him and move on.

But it's not that easy. It's never that easy.

Tess is Eli's probation officer. Young and idealistic, she's determined not to become as jaded as her coworkers. She deals with some of the most difficult and dangerous men - men who have always lived a life of crime, men for whom that life is all they know, and ever will know.

But Eli's different.

Underneath his tough, spiky exterior, Tess senses a man who wants to improve himself, who wants something better from life.

However, when Tex, the cruel and bitter leader of the Sons of Flame, blackmails Eli into working for him once more, Eli is forced back into the life he's trying to leave behind. And Tess, the woman Eli is falling for, is unwittingly drawn into this dangerous world with him...

Redemption is a standalone romance novel, with a HEA ending, some scenes of violence and swearing, and some steamy scenes too!
