GUNNER: A Forsaken Riders MC Romance: Alpha Male Biker Club Bad Boy Romance (Motorcycle Club New Adult Contemporary Short Stories) (157 page)

8.

The night passed quickly, and by the time 2:00 am rolled around, Lexi was exhausted. She and Sasha had danced up and down the bar and poured vodka into each other’s mouths and tequila into some of the customers’. They sang and grinded and had the time of their lives. Lexi couldn’t even believe that this was going to be her job, to basically party and have fun. She thought working at Red X was easy, but this was even easier. At least at The Bullet she didn’t have to take her clothes off and keep men happy.

She felt the protective gaze of King all evening, and although he didn’t seemed to mind her dancing on the bar with Sasha, she could also tell that he had a spark of jealousy in him. He watched her shaking her hips and licking her fingers, and she could see the desire in his eyes. The second she had come down from the bar, he had swept her up in his arms and told her how incredible she was.

Now her shift was over, and although the bar was nowhere near closing, King had his arm around her and was whispering in her ear.

“Come back to the clubhouse,” he said as he flicked the tip of his tongue up the side of her neck.

Feeling him against her like that was driving her wild with lust, and she knew her only other option was to go back to Tammy’s. She couldn’t keep her hands off him any longer, so she smiled and nodded and let him lead her out of The Bullet and towards his ride.

As they flew through the streets, she let her arms fly free above her head. The booze had made her confidence shine, and she was no longer scared of the speed and power that came with the bikes King so dearly loved. He howled and laughed as they weaved around the roads. Before long, he was pulling off the highway and into a parking lot just on the outskirts of town.

Lexi had heard about this place, but nothing could have quite prepared her for what she was about to see. She had heard that the bikers had a secret clubhouse, off the beaten track and hidden from view, but she had wondered if it was just the stuff of legends. Now she was there with King and they were crawling slowly up a dusty dirt road, out and away from any street lights and into the shadows of a thousand sparse trees.

“Where is it?” Lexi asked him.

“Where we won’t get disturbed,” he grinned over his shoulder.

She wrapped her arms tightly around him and nuzzled into his neck. The further they went, the darker the road ahead of them became, and the stars shined brightly overhead. King slowed right down and suddenly the road dipped and disappeared into a steep drop. She clung to him and looked down ahead of them. She could see a scattering of lights in the distance and the outline of a big building with smaller ones all around.

“This is it,” he said. “The Forsaken’s Clubhouse.”

Lexi looked on in awe. Even though the darkness was keeping it all the more secret, she could tell that it was going to be impressive.

The house was three stories high and old and rickety on the outside, but on the inside it had been transformed into something else entirely. It had shiny surfaces and barely any furniture. It was a place for men to gather, but it looked as if it had been cared for by a woman. They seemed to be the only people there, and although it was big and cavernous, Lexi felt claustrophobic in the dark. She clung to King’s arm and let him lead her towards the big staircase in the center of the hallway.

“Do you live here?” she asked.

“No,” he admitted. “I’ve been staying here for a while, but I have my own place.”

“And where’s that?”

“Not far from the bar,” he grinned.

“So why are we here?” she asked curiously.

“I’ve been staying here for the past two weeks,” he breathed. “One of the old boys isn’t so well.” She could see the tears pricking his eyes. “We all want to be on hand.”

Lexi rubbed his shoulder and took hold of his arm.

“Come on,” he smiled.

He led her up the stairs to the top floor. He pushed open a door and flicked on the light to reveal the most incredible bedroom. It was large with a huge bed in the center, with wooden floors and colorful cushions scattered around the corners. There was leather and metal everywhere and out of the corner of her eye, Lexi was sure she spotted a gun. She turned around so she didn’t draw attention to it. 

“I’ve been thinking about getting you alone since yesterday,” he smiled. “I’m glad you’re here.”

“So am I,” Lexi admitted.

King crossed the room and opened a built-in cupboard to reveal a refrigerator. He pulled out a bottle of whiskey and poured them both a glass over ice. 

“You did well tonight,” he said. “I was impressed.”

“I’m glad I didn’t disappoint,” she smiled.

King passed her the glass and she held it to her lips. As she sipped on it, she felt the warmth tingle her insides.

“I paid Marv a little visit,” King said as if it were the most normal thing in the world.

“What?” Lexi stuttered.

“I told you I’d sort it for you,” he smiled. “Here…” He reached into a desk drawer and pulled out an envelope. “It should all be there.”

He passed it to her, and Lexi opened it in disbelief. She counted the money and King was right… It was all there.

“How did you…?” she began. “Did he…? What did you do?”

King shrugged and wrapped an arm around her.

“Don’t worry about that,” he smiled. “It’s taken care of, and he won’t be bothering you anymore.”

Lexi couldn’t believe he had done it for her, but she was more than grateful. She placed her drink down on the desk and wrapped her arms around King.

“It’s funny,” she whispered. “But I’ve never felt like this about anyone…”

King stared at her deep in the eyes and leaned in and kissed her.

“Neither have I,” he whispered. “The second I saw you in the diner, I knew I had to have you.”

He pulled her closer to him, and she could feel the taut muscles beneath his vest. His arms were so big and strong, she felt tiny in them, and as he lifted her up and carried her towards the bed, all she could think of was how she couldn’t wait to feel King’s real power.

He lay her down and climbed on top of her. Even though they were both still fully clothed, she felt more vulnerable than she ever had. King pulled at the buttons on her jeans with his big hands and ripped them open. He worked them down over her hips and leaned forward and kissed her on the stomach and then down to the tops of her panties. Lexi gasped, and with each new touch she fell deeper into uncontrollable need and desire for him. And when he moved further up her body and kissed her neck, she trembled beneath him. He took hold of her breasts and squeezed them over the top of her bra before slipping a hand up the side of her tank top and pulling it off over her head. She was just in her underwear now, and he sat back and looked at her. He nodded and smiled with approval and bent down again to kiss her. Lexi opened her legs and invited him between them. The roughness of the leather worked against her and she knew she couldn’t wait to rip off his clothes and see all of him.

He lifted her higher up the bed and slipped his hand around the back to unhook her bra. He did so in a flash and her huge, voluptuous breasts heaved free. He moaned and rubbed his face in them. He buried his lips into her folds and kissed her, nibbling with his teeth and pulling lightly at her soft, chubby skin.

“I’m going to destroy you,” he growled as he stood up and pulled her to the edge of the bed. She sat in front of him and watched as he removed his vest and then undid his leathers. When he moved them down and his manhood sprang free, Lexi gasped and looked up to him with pleading in her eyes. He was so big… so perfect… so
hard
. She had to taste him. King wrapped his hands up in her hair and pulled her closer to him, rubbing his tip across her wet, welcoming lips.

She opened her mouth wide and took him right to the back of her throat. He was so huge, she knew her jaw wouldn’t be able to take it for long, but she wanted him so badly, she had to have him. King bucked his hips lightly forward and moved one hand down to between Lexi’s legs where he stroked her clit slowly from outside her panties before slipping a hand inside and finding her sex. When he touched her for the first time, she felt him grow harder in her mouth. She was soaking wet and ripe for him, and as he slipped a finger up into her juicy cunt, he moaned…

“Yeah, Babe.”

Lexi moved her hips and grinded against his hand. He felt so good and his touch was so expert, she never wanted it to end. King withdrew from her mouth and lifted her onto her feet before turning her around and bending her down over the edge of the bed so she was on her hands and knees and her pert, round behind was facing him.

He took hold of her hips and positioned the tip of his incredible cock at the opening of her pussy and teased her with it. He rubbed himself up and down, and Lexi moaned with delight. Just when she thought she couldn’t take anymore, he paused and waited before slowly and powerfully sliding his cock right up inside of her. Lexi threw her head back and cried with pleasure as he fucked her and made her tremble.

It had been so long since she had been with a man, but she knew the second King entered her that he was going to be the best sex of her life. His balls were so huge and they slapped up against her as he drove his cock into her, working up to his explosive release. As she felt his thighs tense and his breathing became sharper, she couldn’t hold on anymore and unraveled around him. Her tight muscles contracted around his length, and he joined her, shooting his load right up inside her.

They collapsed down on the bed and King withdrew slowly. His cock was still throbbing and the cum seeped out of her as he lay next to her and kissed her lightly on the shoulder.

“That was intense,” he panted. “No one has ever made me cum like that before.”

Lexi looked up into his eyes and smiled. The situation was more than mutual.

9.

As the sun came up that morning, Lexi lay back as King explored her with his tongue. She lay sprawled out beneath him as he licked every inch of her and pleasured her in ways she had never thought possible. There was something between them that was so strong and powerful, she knew that they wouldn’t be able to leave each other alone. He licked her nub and flicked his tongue up and down her slit before powering it into her, and she came hard and fast again. He seemed to worship her and her body, and when the sounds of other men in the house suggested that they were stirring, she cuddled into him and fell asleep in his arms.

Later in the day, she awoke to find herself alone. King’s clothes were gone and Lexi sat up and reached out for her jeans and underwear. She dressed quickly and opened the door to the room cautiously. She stepped out into the hallway and waited for a moment. She could hear voices and she waited to see if she could recognize King’s.

“Hey,” he suddenly said from behind her.

She jumped and gasped. “You scared me!” She slapped him playfully on the arm.

He looked incredible, and she had to steady herself as she saw him dewy with water from the shower and his hair flopping down around his eyes. His skin was so perfectly tanned and decorated with ink, he looked like a work of art himself.

“Come here,” he growled as he wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her to him. She could feel him growing hard and she wanted nothing more than for him to ravage her again, but Tammy would be sick with worry and she knew she had to get home.

He pulled her back into the bedroom and closed the door.

“Last night,” he said, “was one of the best of my life.”

Lexi bit her lip. She couldn’t keep the grin from her face and all she wanted was to live it over and over again.

“Mine too,” she kissed him softly.

She could hear the voices downstairs getting louder, and it wasn’t long before they were calling for King.

“Busy day,” he said with disappointment.

Lexi pouted and kissed him again.

***

When they were ready, King led her downstairs by the hand. Compared to the night before, the house seemed alive and there was action in every room. She wasn’t the only woman. Girls were draped over the beds of other biker’s bedrooms, and Lexi almost felt embarrassed until King reassured her.

“You’re more to me than this,” he said.

They walked around the galleried landing, and Lexi noticed a collection of people at the doorway to one of the rooms. The men were all standing solemnly, and King squeezed her hand.

“The old boy,” he whispered sadly.

Lexi managed to find a gap in the crowd and could see that they were around the bed of an older man. He lay there, still with a long beard to his waist, but he looked frail and very sick.

“Oh my,” Lexi said with sympathy.

King nodded and steered her away from the room. She couldn’t believe the solidarity they all had. They were taking care of him to the bitter end.

“What happened to him?” she asked as they went out into the sunlight and away from any lingering ears.

“Cancer,” he said as he lit a cigarette. “Been through all they can do, so now it’s just a matter of time.” He clicked his teeth.

“I’m sorry,” Lexi said.

“Me too,” King nodded. “He was one of the greats, a founding member. Seems so unjust that someone so strong can be reduced to that.”

Lexi rubbed his shoulder before they climbed back onto his bike and he started the engine.

As they pulled away from the clubhouse, she looked back at it and how incredible it looked out there in the middle of the desert. It was almost like a secret town in itself, there were so many buildings. The house was like a castle standing tall in the center, and she had found its King. She smirked to herself for thinking it and then wrapped her arms around him again.

He took her straight home and she asked him to leave her at the end of the street. She was feeling more confident than ever that she had made the right choice, and she had to see her mother. She didn’t want to avoid her forever, and she was going to come clean. She kissed King goodbye and told him she would see him later. As she walked slowly down her street, she felt empowered all over again. King had gotten her money for her, and she had a wonderful new man along with an exciting job.

She started up her driveway and was relieved that Dereck’s car was missing. When she got to the front door, she stopped and waited a moment, bracing herself for the onslaught of abuse.

She put her key in the lock and opened the door. When she stepped inside, the first thing that hit her was the silence. She cautiously called, “Mom?”

There was a small part of her that thought for a moment that she wasn’t going to answer, but then she heard her croaky voice coming down the hallway from the kitchen.

“In here,” she said.

Lexi wandered down and saw her sitting at the table. This time there was no gin and Dereck was nowhere to be found. Her mother looked up at her and sighed.

“I suppose you think it’s funny just running off like that and scaring me half to death?” she challenged.

“No, actually,” Lexi crossed her arms over her chest. “But I didn’t want an argument.”

“Where have you been?” she got to her feet.

“Why does it matter?”

“Because I’m your mother, and I need to know!” She was shouting now, the rage was building up behind her words.

“What do you care!?” Lexi screamed back. “I stayed at Tammy’s, and then I was at my new job! If you weren’t so wrapped up in douchebag Dereck, maybe I would have felt like telling you that Marv fired me!”

“What for?” she snarled.

“It doesn’t matter,” Lexi lowered her head and felt tears rising. She hated arguing with her mom, but it was all they seemed to do these days.

“And that fucking biker?” her mom spat.

“What?” Lexi shot her gaze up to meet hers.

“I hope you’re not going to be so stupid to get involved with them. I’ve told you your entire life to stay away from them! You better not defy me now!”

Lexi shook her head in disbelief and went to leave the room.“I am seeing one of them. His name’s King, and he’s the most sincere and loyal man I have ever met!”

Her mother’s face dropped, and she seemed lost for words.

“And not only that, but I’ve started working at The Bleeding Bullet… And guess what, there’s not a damn thing you can do to stop me!”

She marched out of the kitchen and made her way to the stairs. Her mom ran after her, screaming her name until Lexi finally stopped and spun around to face her once more.

“If you want to fuck up your life, then you go ahead,” she spat, “but don’t come crying to me when your heart is broken and you’re out in the cold.”

“What are you even talking about?” Lexi shook her head, completely confused. “Since when has this ever been a topic of conversation?”

“Are you really so stupid?” her mom asked. “Have you really never figured out why I don’t want you anywhere near those men?”

Lexi shook her head, but the feeling of dread that was slowly crawling over her was clutching her tight.

“Your father!” her mom spat. “Your father was one of those goddam bikers, and I never saw him again after he knocked me up and ended up in jail!” She collapsed onto the floor and burst into tears. “Fucking Reid…”

Lexi eyed her furiously.

Could she be serious?

“Reid? Was that his name? You told me my father died,” Lexi said coldly. “You told me that you were going to get married and that he was a salesman from Scottsdale and that he was killed in a car accident before I was born.” She shook her head in disbelief.

“Lexi,” her mom pleaded.

“Have you been lying to me my entire life?” She couldn’t believe what was happening, but the tears bursting out of her mother were telling her all she needed to know.

Without another word, Lexi stormed up the stairs and slammed her bedroom door. She pushed the chair up against it and frantically pulled her clothes out of her closet and threw them into bags.

She was done.

She was leaving.

She could hear her mother’s sobs echoing through the house, but she didn’t care. If she had only known that her father was still alive, she could have gotten to know him. She could have had a real parent, whether he was in jail or not. She cried as she zipped up her bags and opened her bedroom window before throwing them out onto the front yard. She hadn’t climbed out of her window since she was a teenager going out to meet boys, but she just couldn’t face seeing her mom’s face again. As she worked her way down the drainpipe, she bit back the tears, and when she jumped down onto the ground, she scooped up the bags and slung them over her shoulder.

There was only one place she wanted to be and that was with King. But first she was going to have to see Tammy at the diner.
