Biker Bait: The Lost Souls MC Series (12 page)

I hated that I was crying, I hated that he was here on this landing doing whatever just to keep our relationship a secret from my uncle.

“Lana, I’m here, not ther
e.” I heard.

I scanned the room and saw him walk towards me in the darkness, he sat beside me on the floor and put his arm around me. I could smell her perfume on him. I pulled away unable to stand it any longer.

He pulled me back in place and kept me there.

“With everythin’
I’ve put you through, I knew you couldn’t deal about this. Nothin’ at all happened, I couldn’t leave you on your own all night thinkin’ all sorts to tell you that either. I told you, I’m yours, no one else’s.”

“Where is she?” I asked, not particularly caring but if
Cas wanted Michael to think he was still in bed with her and she returns downstairs, he is going to get suspicious real quick.

“I told her I would give
her three hundred dollars first thing if she stayed in the room for the rest of the night, and if she doesn’t then I’ll make sure she isn’t welcome at the club no more. A girl like that needs the club as much as the brothers do.” he explained.

I sat up straight and stared at him. He would do that for me?

“I deserve that look you’re givin’ me Lana, but please believe me, nothin’ happened. I love you and that means somethin’ to me.”

“I love you to
o.” I went to kiss him but leant back, “But, you reek of that whore’s cheap ass perfume and it’s making me feel sick.” I told him.

I got up and went and sat on the edge of the bed. He shrugged out
of his cut and took his tee off, dumping them on the floor and joining me.

I leant against his bare shoulder and sighed.

“Much better, I couldn’t think straight, I shouldn’t have overreacted like that.” I said.

“It’s understandable after what I’ve put you throug
h.” he said, quietly.

“I hate this
, we shouldn’t have to keep quiet about us.”

“I promise, as soon as we get back on Sunday
I’ll talk to Michael and every mother fucker will know you’re mine.” he said, kissing the top of my head.

“Yo
u looked sexy as hell shakin’ ya ass earlier, I admit, I was jealous you were dancin’ with a brother and not me.”

I rolled my eyes at him, climbing on his lap. I straddled my legs around his waist and began kissing the top of his chest.

“No need for jealousy, I’m yours, always.”

“Fuck yeah you are woma
n.”

He fell back on the bed and I followed, getting rid of my top, I chuckled quietly and unbuttoned his jeans, releasing his already full erection.

“You’re gonna have to keep it quiet tonight baby, don’t want anyone thinkin’ you’ve got someone in here.” he said.

“I’ll tr
y.” I chuckled.

Chapter Ten

Cas

I left Alannah sleeping just before sunrise. I was right to go to her last night, it broke me to see her crumble to the floor in tears. Knowing my track record caused her to doubt me brought home how much making up I still need to do, and I’m going to enjoy every part of gaining her full trust again.

I checked in on Danni before making my way downstairs to make sure she was still in the room, she was. As quietly as I could I entered the room, left the money I promised on the pile of her clothes on the floor and left again.

Finding a free chair, I made myself comfortable and tried to grab a few hours’ sleep. I didn’t want to get caught oversleeping in Alannah’s room and there was not a fucking chance I would risk falling asleep in the room Danni is in.

I kept reminding myself that this time next week I wouldn’t be on no fucking arm chair,
I will be in bed with my girl with her soft warm body sleeping against mine, listening to her little whimpers as she slept, and the way she always woke before I did and woke me in the most sexual ways.

Fuck! The temptation to go back upstairs and not care about the consequences was too much to bear.

I must have drifted off because it felt like no time at all before I woke up to the sound of people moving about and a smell that could only be breakfast was ready.

Through the lounge
door you could see partly into the kitchen. Alannah was sat with Sparky and she looked worried, whatever they were talking about Sparky was saying something right because a small smile crossed her face before she hugged him and disappeared from my line of sight. She was back instantly with two plates of food. Deciding to stretch my legs, I walked into the crowded kitchen. I tried not to look at Alannah and failed, I saw her go to get up but then thought twice, if I didn’t know better, I would’ve guessed she was going to go get me my breakfast. Checking no one was looking, I gave her a sly wink, her blush turned me on as she lowered her head to hide it.

I couldn’t trust myself to
eat with them at the table, I grabbed a bacon sandwich and leant against the wall as Michael showed his face.

“Eat up boys, we’re leavin’
soon.” he said.

Kitty whipped him up a breakfast plate and he sat where I desperately wanted to be, next to Alannah. It was like I was on the outside looking in,
something I haven’t felt since I joined the club and I hated it. I had everything on me so I left through the back door and escaped to my bike. I had already said good bye to Alannah last night.

“Hey, you okay?”

I looked round to see Sparky following me out.

“All good brothe
r.” I lied.

“If you hang on a minute, I’ll ride with y
a.”

“No, stay. Leave when Michael does and make sure Alannah is oka
y.” I said, then remembered her earlier expression.

“Is she okay? She was fine when I left her then with you she looked worried.”

“She’s good, just worryin’ we ain’t comin’ home like Micky. I take it she doesn’t know what we got planned?”

“No, she kn
ows shits goin’ down but nothin’ else, keep it that way yeah, I don’t want her knowin’ about that shit.” I told him.

“Sure, I’ll see ya back at the club hous
e.” he said, jogging back to the cabin.

Tonight better fucking be the end of this, at the age of twenty-nine I already feel too old for this shit.

After going over the plan again, we bundled into the back of two separate vans and was on our way to the Ghost Rider
s compound.

The effects from the lack of sleep last night were beginning to take over, their compound is a couple of hours away so I closed my eyes, leaning my head against the side of the van. Sleep didn’t c
ome but the burning in my eyes eased, I listened to Oak and Michael talking quietly opposite me, Sparky sat beside me with his ear buds in listening to his iPod while everybody else sat excitedly, waiting for the impending attack.

Stretching my legs as much as I could in the cramped space between us all, I thought of what Alannah would be doing now, I know she’ll be worried but luckily she’s got the old
ladies to keep her occupied and Billy. A part of me hated she was close to him, that he gets to spend time with her continuously without being questioned about it by Michael, my ego is big enough to know that she loves me and wouldn’t do anything behind my back though.

The buzz of knowing she is mine feels intense, before last summer I never thought I would let myself feel like this about a woman, to give her the power of me was a concept I couldn’t comprehend. To me, women were there to warm my bed on nights I choose, to look good on my arm at parties and make me temporarily feel good without having to have that constant need to please each other all the time, with Alannah I want nothing more than to spend all my time pleasing her. It feels slightly dangerous giving her power over me but knowing I hold the power over her too takes us deeper than I would have imagined.

Michael speaking on the phone broke me from my thoughts.

“Okay…do you see anyone else?” he asked, I imagined he was speaking to Slade or Pope
in the other van.

“Okay, stay where you are, we’ll drive up and take a loo
k.” he said, before hanging up and sliding the phone back in his pocket.

“Right, everyone load up just in case, Slade says it’s quiet in there, looks like no one’s home. Sparky, Cas you know what ya gotta do?” Michael spoke.

Sparky searched his bag once more, checking he had everything, satisfied he zipped it closed and grasped the handles. Like the warehouse explosion, Sparky and I were going in and if we needed it, everyone would come running with weapons in back up.

Thanks to Slade and his e
xpertise on the computer, we have already found the safest spot for us to sneak through on the satellite picture he printed off. Michael slid the side door open as we pulled our balaclavas down, covering our faces to any potential witnesses, not that we planned on having any. We jumped out of the van and ran to the side of their compound, we stopped by the back fence while Sparky cut through the wire fencing. I made sure my gun was in place and followed Sparky as he nipped through the hole he made, Slade was right, the place looked deserted. We were supposed to go no further than the back of the main clubhouse, hide the bomb somewhere and leave, but with no one here we both took advantage. Treading carefully in case someone did come out, we edged our way round to the side and then to the front, even in the dark the place was a shithole. There was only a couple of spot lights turned on so we were mostly in darkness as long as we stuck to the side of the building.

“Put it down her
e.” I told him, I wanted this done and finished.

You didn’t need to see his grin to know he was excited, you would be able to see it in his eyes from miles away.

I’ve never understood his fascination for explosions and fire, all I know is Michael took him in after he found him trying to light a fire near one of his warehouses when he was sixteen years old, I don’t know what possessed him to trust him, I suppose he saw something in him like he did with me.

I let Sparky do
his thing while I scanned the area around us, I’d put money on it that there was nobody inside either, it’s not what we were hoping for but it would send a big fucking message not to fuck with us again.

“Ready, let’s get outta her
e.”

I went back to where he was crouching and picked up his now empty bag. We made our way back to the van without being seen.

Michael slapped our backs as we climbed in the back to our seats.

“Done?” he asked, once we were seated.

“Your doubt fuckin’ wounds me boss.” Sparky chuckled, handing him another phone.

My adrenaline was pumping on full force, we fucking did it.

“Drive on a bit, don’t wanna get caught up in the blast.” he laughed.

The van rolled up the road and stopped again, Michael opened the side door again but didn’t move to get out.

His smile had never been so menacing, he pushed down on the phone and their grounds were blown apart.

“BOOM!” Sparky roared
in delight, “Makes my fuckin’ dick hard.”

“Hopefully there are some fuckers’ in ther
e.” Michael mused, more to himself than to us, “Let’s go.” he told the driver, and pulled out his phone.

He called Slade to tell him to get the hell out of dodge
and our van as well as theirs tore out of their pit of a town.

“One hell of a fuckin’
warnin’ boys.” Michael said, grinning like a kid on Christmas day morning.

Never before I have seen him this hyped for a fight, it’s what ma
kes me anxious about him now, he was becoming a loose cannon and I’m not sure the ending will be what he’s expecting. Maybe that’s what Oak meant when he babbled on about changes in the club?

“We’ll be ready when they
next attack, mark my words boys, this will all be fuckin’ over soon.” he promised, yet again though, it was more to himself than to us.

My chest flipped and sunk into my stomach,
it was meant to be over tonight.

It is going to be a long ride back to Willow
s Peak and I’m dreading every mile of it.

Chapter Eleven

Alannah

Apart from Kitty, Lila and Jackie, I don’t really know the other old ladies, I recognised the club whores but didn’t know them either, they kept themselves out of the way, avoiding the old ladies whose men they’ve slept with and the old ladies acted like they weren’t here at all.

Danni steered clear of me too, she no longer wore that smirk after being discarded by
Cas last night.

Since everyone left yesterday, my heart has constantly been beating frantically, to my ears it sounded like an army marching with heavy boots on. Kitty and the
other women are used to their men being away, they used these times to catch up properly with each other. Most of the time, I spent my pacing hours with Billy and the other prospects, through spending time with Billy, I found I didn’t mind getting to know prospects.

Jack and Ricky were okay guys, I
heard the club whores having a good time with them last night, if this ever happens again I will definitely be investing in ear plugs.

I found Billy on the back decking area with a coffee,
it was so peaceful out here I joined him on the swing seat.

“You comin’ out to hide too?” he chuckled.

“Yeah, feels like we’ve been invaded don’t it.”

He nodded his head in agreement and sipped his coffee.

“You heard from ya friend yet?” he asked.

I shook my head, I have been messaging her all weekend asking what time she’ll be getting here and if she needs any help, but she hasn’t replied once.

“Have you heard anything?” I asked.

It wasn’t normal practice for a prospect to be kept in the loop with this sort of club business, but I was hoping
Cas might have sent him a message of some sort.

“Only that they’re on their
way back and they want their women to leave as soon as they arrive.”

What? That didn’t sound right.

“How long before they get here?” I asked.

As soon as I asked we both heard engines approaching around the front of the cabin.

“About thirty seconds.” he joked.

“Ha
ha.” I muttered, standing to go and wait in the kitchen.

I had butterflies, proper school girl, first crush butterflies. My nerves were shot to pieces wondering who was coming home and who wouldn’t be walking through the door, it has been the longest weekend of my life.

I sneaked in through the back and kept close to the door, I watched closely as brothers filled the kitchen going to their women or taking seats at the table, all stone faced and tired. No Cas yet, Sparky was next through the door, I crossed the kitchen and hugged him with everything I had.

“Where is he?” I whispered close to his ear.

“He’s good Barbie.” he whispered back.

As soon as he told me I saw him walk through the front door, he stopped when he saw me, he smiled and winked at me before carrying on and entering the kitchen.

They were home, they were fine and most of all, we could tell Michael about our relationship.

I thought it would be my luck Bonnie would show up now and be scared away by all the bikers. I checked my phone quickly while Michael was speaking with Kitty. Still nothing from her.

Most weren’t sticking around long, taking their old ladies with them, I saw Jack and Ricky leave with the club whores, thank god.

Kitty wrapped me in her arms, promising to come and visit me more, and then left with Michael and Oak, leaving Sparky, Slade and
Cas.

“Is your friend here yet?” Sparky asked, wiggling his eyebrows.

From the corner of my eye I saw Cas look at me in surprise, oh right, I forgot to tell him the other night, to be fair I did have other things on my mind that night though.

“No, she messaged me saying she’d be here today
then nothing, she’s not replying, and she’s not taking my calls.” I frowned.

For weeks I’ve felt she was in trouble and the longer she takes to arrive, the more I think I was right to worry.

“I’m sure she’s fine, anyway, let me know when she gets here.” he grinned.

“You’re not gonna touch her Jaso
n.” I warned him, he knew I was serious when I used his real name.

“You
makin’ it a challenge?” he teased.

“No, I’m making it a promis
e.”

He only laughed as he walked out, Slade got up and went to follow him out.

“Hey Slade, wait.” I called, he turned as he was about to open the door.

“What’s up?”

“Can you do something for me?”

“Depends when, I’ve had a long night and I need me slee
p.”

“Whenever, doesn’t matter whe
n.” I told him quickly, “Can you find out where my friend lives, see if you can find anything on her please?”

“Sure, what’s her name?”

“Bonnie Hamilton.”

“I’ll let ya know what I fin
d.”

“Thank you, now go and
get some sleep.” I smiled.

I don’t know why I didn’t think to ask him to do this before?

Walking back into the kitchen I felt the butterflies flutter around again, we were finally alone.

I sat on his lap and he held me tight. He’s really okay.
I wasn’t waiting another second, I crushed my lips against his and showed him just how much I was glad he was home. He responded instantly, gripping my hips harder as I rocked against his erection, I moaned into his mouth and then the world was moving when he lifted me to the counter top. Our lips hardly left each other’s as I shimmed out of my shorts and he undone his jeans, they barely hit the floor before he was pushing into me.

This was hard, fast and raw. With each thrust tipping me over the edge, I clung to his cut and took everything he gave me.

“I’m not gonna last much longer if you keep tightenin’ that sweet fuckin’ pussy of yours.” he growled.

“I’m not going to last much longer anywa
y.” I panted.

The kitchen became a blur as he carried on pounding into me, I completely tightened around his cock, crying out reaching my climax
, he thrust into me twice more before he found his own climax and stood shaking, gripping my chin.

“I needed you so fuckin’ ba
d.” he said, kissing me again.

“I know how you fe
el.” I said weakly, “You don’t have to go too do you?”

“I ain’t goin’ anywhere bab
y.” he smiled, melting me all over again.

Cas

Half sitting up against the head board with Alannah breathing softly as she slept beside me, I now had time to digest and run through last night’s events. Blowing up their territory was a big fucking statement and the repercussions were going to be just as dire. I used to welcome a fight, going after the Ghost Riders would have been my only priority, it would’ve been my mission to bring them all down, just for the fact they disrespected my club and continued to do so, and if I got took out I would’ve done so with a smile on my face knowing I’d gone down fucking fighting, always loyal to my club.

Now, I’m fiercely loyal to my girl as well and the thought of being taken out and
leaving her alone terrifies me.

In an ideal world, I would have the club and my girl and ride the road far and wide, the only thing at my back would be Alannah
with her blonde hair blowing in the wind. When I imagine that it makes me hungry for it, when I imagine doing that now, there’s always bullets chasing us, the ghosts of our enemies cackling in my ear. Feeling like we’re not making progress is beginning to take its toll, not just on me but on the whole club. The more I thought about it, the more I felt like last night was an unnecessary risk, and now I have Alannah I can’t understand why Michael wants to put us in danger, because that’s what we’re in now, and if I have to choose to protect the club or Alannah, she’s going to win, every fucking time. Alannah is the club, as much as me or any other brother, her pure light brightens the dark pit that is our world we live in.

I don’t think she comprehends just how much she is mine and always will be, to go back to a life she isn’t a part of would be destructive to everyone and everything around me. My heart is racing just thinking about it, no, she is mine
and to prove it to myself, I hold her closer to me.

This girl is the only reason I want better fo
r me, for us and for the club. To have better, we need to be clever and sly, blowing up shit is only going to end with neither club having any property. At the time I thought it was a good idea but now I’m not so sure.

Cautiously leaning off the bed, I pri
sed my phone from my jacket pocket. My right hand was trapped around Alannah so as not to wake her, I spent an extra five minutes typing a message left handed to Slade, telling him to go over all information we have on the Ghost Riders and to see if can find anything else out using his super fucking detective powers on that computer of his, see if he can find something new we can use, we have to be missing something, they can’t evade us forever.

I dr
opped the phone to the floor, positioned myself against my girl and fell asleep.
