Ride with the Wind [The Ghost Riders 1] (12 page)

“Yeah. I think they will, but we have to hit at the right time for it to work out.” Dominic tapped one finger on the table. “How is the sheriff taking our patrolling his town?”

“He wasn’t real happy about it, but he settled down when I gave him a heads-up to the possible shit storm coming.”

“Can you think of anything we might have overlooked? I don’t want to be caught with our pants down on this.”

Reece winced and shook his head. “Still think we’re better not calling in some backup?”

“I think that if we appear to be gearing up for a fight, we’re going to end up with one. We don’t do anything that would interfere with their business, so I feel like they aren’t going to want to extend their resources to mess with us.”

“My gut instinct is to lie low, so I think you’re right. A lot is going to depend on how Satan’s Sons handle the situation. If it ends up being a conversation between them, then we’re probably going to have long-term trouble. If it ends up in a bloodbath, we’ll have some fallout to begin with, but then it should all settle down.”

“It’s all fucked up when we’re better off with a territory war. If The Skulls manage to strike some sort of deal with Satan’s Sons, we could end up in the middle of hell.”

“That’s about how I see it.” Reece drained the remainder of his beer and tossed the bottle into the trash across the room.

Dominic still looked out of sorts. He was silent for several minutes, staring at the wall. Finally he looked back at Reece and leaned back in his chair.

“What are the chances that this could be about Raven and have nothing to do with Tussler and his business?”

“Fuck! I hadn’t thought of that. Have you heard from Chaz on what happened at his place?”

“Only that everything was fine and he hadn’t learned anything to pass on yet.”

“I’ll get Turk to divert some sources over to finding out where Raven is on anyone’s radar.”

“I already spoke with him on it. He hopes to have something in the morning. If this is about her and not Satan’s Sons, we’ve got a problem.” He stared hard at Reece.

“They’ll wipe us out, Dominic.”

“We need a plan in case that turns out to be what is going on.”

Reece nodded. “What’s the plan?”

“Short term, we disperse the group here to other branches and we take Raven and hit the road. Long term, we work with our lawyer and set up a sting on her ex. Someone like him won’t leave her alone even if she outs him in the media. He’ll wait until she isn’t expecting it and hit her then. He has to go down for the deed and end up in jail. Someone will eventually take care of him there just because he’s a pervert.”

He agreed with Dominic. Getting her out of the area would be the first thing to do. Setting up the rest would take some time. They would buy that time by staying on the road.

“I’ll talk to Merrick about setting up an evacuation plan for everyone in case it comes to that. He and his brother are masterminds when it comes to logistics.” Reece started to get up then stopped. “Are we going to tell her what might be going on?”

“No. If she thought she was putting anyone in danger, she’d rabbit.”

“Yeah. I think you’re right.” He’d read her all wrong in the beginning.

He’d let his personal demons rule his mouth once again. Raven was nothing like Karra back in Afghanistan. She had played them for the fools they were. Well, he had been the ultimate fool. Dominic had seen through her promises of love and devotion to them. Dominic had tried to tell Reece what she was doing, but he hadn’t wanted to believe it. When things began to heat up, he had gone back to the village to get her and found her gone instead. She had used them to secure her safety with the Taliban by trading information on them and her own village. Once she had accomplished that, she disappeared.

Reece could still hear the screams as the tiny community was attacked. He’d barely managed to get out alive. If it hadn’t been for Dominic’s help, he had no doubt he would be dead now.

“Reece. Stop it.” Dominic’s voice cut into his thoughts.

“What?”

“You’re thinking about the past again. It’s over with. We’ve got a chance at the future with Raven. Together.”

“You’re talking more than just long term.”

“Yeah. I think I’m falling in love with her.”

“Hell. And you think there’s a possibility that she would take on both of us on a permanent basis? Dominic, number one, it’s illegal.”

“Officially she can only marry one of us, but there’s nothing that says she can’t live with both of us. That’s basically what she’s doing now, so what’s the difference?”

“Nothing, I guess.” Reece wiped a hand over his eyes.

Dominic stood up and walked over to the door. He stopped before opening it and turned around.

“She’s worth it, Reece. Whatever it takes. She’s worth it.”

Reece rested his head in his hands after Dominic walked out and closed the door behind him. Inside, he agreed with his friend. She was worth whatever it took to bind her to them, but he knew nothing was ever simple. Neither was falling in love.

* * * *

Raven had just closed down the computer when Dominic walked in. He smiled at her and walked over to drop a kiss on her head.

“How is the writing going?”

“Good. How are you doing? You look tired.” She stood up and wrapped her arms around his waist.

After a couple of seconds, his arms went around her, and he pulled her closer to him. She could hear his heartbeat and feel each breath he took. It further proved she was getting hooked on Dominic that she paid such close attention to him. Once again she tried to talk herself out of falling for him. He would never fall for her. She was something new and different in his world.

“I’m fine. Better now that I’m here with you, though. Are you ready to head to bed, babe?”

“I was just shutting down for the night.” She pulled out of his arms and walked over toward the bed, pulling her T-shirt over her head as she did.

She didn’t bother turning around to see what Dominic was doing. She was pretty sure he would be watching her and undressing at the same time. She toed off her shoes and shimmied her jeans down her legs. When she stepped out of them, Dominic was there behind her, holding her steady.

Raven leaned back into him, drawing in a swift breath when he took her nipples between his thumbs and forefingers. As he pulled and pinched at them, she concentrated on breathing through the intense sensations. Her pussy wept with need as he circled her nipples with his fingers then plucked them and cupped her breasts in his large hands. They tightened in his grasp as arousal took her breath and fluttered through her cunt.

“I love those breathy sounds you make when you get excited, Raven. They turn me on like nothing else.”

His bare chest pressed against her back. He still had on his jeans, since the buckle of his belt pressed into her back. Being nude with him still partially dressed gave her a vulnerable feeling. Her wet pussy already throbbed with anticipation of his next moves.

“Crawl up on the bed, Raven, and lie down on your back.”

She pulled away from him and climbed on the bed to lie on her back. Her heart fluttered at the intense expression on his face.

“That’s it, baby. Now put your arms above your head and keep them there. Don’t move.”

Dominic got on the bed and reached behind her. Then he was wrapping a rope around both her wrists at the same time and securing them to the headboard. When he finished, she tugged on it and realized she really couldn’t move her hands more than a few inches to either side of her head. Panic clogged her throat.

“Easy, baby. I’m not going to hurt you. I would never hurt you, Raven.” He gently stroked her chin and cheek as he talked to her.

She drew in a deep breath and willed her body to relax. Dominic and Reece had been nothing but good to her from the beginning. Well, if you didn’t count Reece’s brief lapse of judgment. She had recognized his insecurity for what it was once Dominic had explained.

“That’s it. Relax for me.” He backed off the bed and slowly stripped, pulling his belt from his jeans and dropping it to the floor.

By the time he was totally naked, she was sure her pussy had gotten the bed wet from her arousal. His cock stood up against his belly, long and hard. It made her mouth water just thinking about sucking it. She couldn’t help licking her lips at the thought of all that male meat stuffed in her mouth.

Dominic climbed up on the bed and straddled her just beneath her arms. When he looked down at her as he stroked his dick, Raven reveled in the deep need present in his eyes. He needed her.

“Open your mouth, babe. I’m going to fuck that gorgeous face with my cock. Open wide.”

Raven circled her tongue around his hard dick as he fed it to her. She sucked, hollowing her cheeks each time he pulled back. She didn’t want to let go in case he refused to give it back to her. He tasted slightly salty, and the musky scent of cock filled her nostrils. When he bumped the back of her throat, she swallowed around him, thrilled when it forced a groan from his throat.

“Fuck! Do it again.” He filled her mouth once again.

She ran her tongue down the underside then swallowed when he was as deep as he would go.

“Aw, hell, baby.” He pulled free of her and squeezed the base of his cock with one hand as he stroked her jaw with his other.

His eyes were dark blue now and heavy with arousal. She bit her lower lip as he stared down into her eyes.

“You’re going to be the death of me, Raven.” He backed off of her and settled instead between her legs.

Starting with one ankle, he licked and sucked his way up her leg until he reached her thighs where her juices had coated them. He cleaned her there before retreating to her other ankle and repeating the process. Raven fought the restraints, needing to touch him.

“Stop pulling against the rope, Raven. You’re going to hurt yourself, and I’ll be very angry if you do that.”

“I want to touch you, Dominic.” Her voice came out in a rough whisper.

“Later, baby. Right now, I want to taste that pretty pussy. You’re soaking wet, and I haven’t really touched you yet.”

“Please, Dominic. Please suck my pussy. I need to come.”

Dominic popped her on the thigh. “Be still. I’ll take care of you when I’m ready to.”

She struggled to hold still as he blew cool air across her clit. Then he licked her from her slit to her clit and back down again. Her cunt fluttered as he inserted a finger into it. She squeezed it as he pumped it in and out of her pussy. Then he added a finger and curled them around until he’d found her hot spot. She whimpered and bucked against his hand as he stroked it.

“Be still, Raven. Don’t make me have to tell you again.”

“It looks like you need help holding her down.” The door closed, and Raven heard the lock click.

Dominic smiled against Raven’s pussy. Reece couldn’t resist her despite believing it wouldn’t work long term. He looked over his shoulder to see the other man pulling off his clothes.

“She can’t be still worth a damn. Think you can keep her from moving for me?”

“I’ve got it covered.” He watched as Reece settled on the bed next to Raven and attacked her breasts. He kept one hand flat on her abdomen to hold her down.

By the moans coming from their woman’s mouth, she was thoroughly enjoying Reece’s mouth at her breasts. He concentrated on driving her wild with his tongue. He wanted to hear her scream with her orgasm. Raven’s noises were music to his ears as he concentrated on pleasuring her. She tightened around his fingers as he once again stroked over her sweet spot. He circled her clit with his tongue, reveling in the way she tried to thrust her hips up to get him where she wanted him. With Reece’s hand on her, she couldn’t do it anymore.

Again and again he teased her with his mouth and fingers until he was so turned on he didn’t think he could stand another minute without being inside of her. Dominic sucked her hard little clit into his mouth between his teeth and pressed on her G-spot at the same time. She rewarded him with her scream as her cunt walls closed down around his fingers.

“God, she is beautiful when she comes, Dom. I nearly lost it just watching her.”

Dominic gave her twitching pussy one last lick before sitting up. Reece had pulled out two condoms and was holding one out to him.

“Suit up and get her on top of you, Reece. I can’t wait any longer. I’ve got to get inside that tight ass.”

“I’m going to take the rope off of her.” He leaned over her and removed the rope, massaging her wrists once they were free. “Come on, baby. Time to go for a ride.”

He watched as Reece helped her climb on top of him and roll the condom down his thick cock. Dominic already had his on and the lube on the bed waiting. He groaned as she slowly sank onto Reece’s dick. He wished he could see the expression on her face, but there would be other times. As soon as her pussy kissed Reece’s pelvis, he pressed against her back to expose her tight ass.

Reece’s arms went around her to hold her in place as he dribbled lube down the crack of her butt. The tiny rosette winked at him when the cold lube reached it. He spread it ’round her back hole with his finger, pressing in against it every few seconds. Finally, he slowly pushed his finger into her ass, stopping once he had breached the tight ring of muscles just inside. She moaned and tried to move against Reece’s arms.

“Easy, Raven. I don’t want to hurt you.” Dominic rubbed her ass cheeks as he started moving his finger in and out of her dark hole.

After a few seconds, he added more lube and a second finger. She was so fucking tight. He couldn’t wait to shove his cock inside her. She would squeeze him to death. As he moved his fingers around inside of her, he could hear Reece talking to her, telling her all sorts of dirty things.

Dominic removed his fingers and added lube to his sheathed dick and began to press against her back hole. Raven moaned as he pushed inward. When he finally popped through, she groaned into Reece’s chest.

“Aw, hell, babe. Your hot ass is so tight around my cock. I’m not going to last long.” He remained still, waiting on her to recover and indicate that she was ready.
