Ripper's Torment (6 page)

What the fuck was he going to do?

Devil’s going to kill you if you continue.

The image of her lips and her full body against his
invaded his thoughts. Since the night before he’d pictured her in many different
ways. Even Ashley couldn’t replace her beauty. He was fucked.

“Shit, I really shouldn’t be doing this.” Judi got to
her feet about to tug her hand out of his. He held onto her refusing to let go.
“This is insane.”

Getting to his feet he tugged her close so she had no
choice but to fall against him. “I know, but tell me you don’t want this and
I’ll leave you the fuck alone. I’m not a rapist, Princess.”

Devil is going to kill you.

Even with the threat running through his mind, he
placed a hand on her hip then slid it round to curve over her ass. With Lexie’s
cooking Judi had filled out in all the right places. Her tits were lovely and
full, her ass ripe and her hips rounded.

His cock pulsed harder, pressing against her stomach.

Tilting her head back, he stared into her eyes before
dropping his gaze down to her full lips. Her tongue poked out to wet her lips.

“Well, what do you want to do, Judi?” he asked.

Never had he wanted a woman as much as he wanted her.

“I’m not a virgin.”

“I’m not asking for a virgin.” Ripper wasn’t in the
mood for fucking women who hadn’t known a cock before, though Judi didn’t
really know a cock; she only thought she did.

“Devil can never know.”

“I’m not going to be telling your daddy what I want to
do to you.” He stroked her hair, tugging her head back exposing her neck.
Ripper leaned down pressing his lips to her neck, biting down. “What’s it going
to be, Princess?”

She stayed silent for several minutes teasing him with
a response. Sucking on the flesh of her neck, he made sure not to leave a mark.
Devil would spot a hickey a mile away. What was going on between them? Ripper
didn’t have an answer. They’d always gravitated toward each other. He
remembered more often than not Judi standing with him, talking and cooking while
the others mingled.

Don’t think.
Feel.

“Yes, I want this, Ripper.”

“Then you better tell me what you want. I’m not going
to do anything you don’t want.” Both of his hands went to her hair, tugging on
the length so she couldn’t hide her response from him.

“I want you to kiss me.”

Dropping down, he brushed his lips against her cheek.
“Is that what you want, baby?”

“No, on my lips.
I want you to kiss me like you mean it.”

Smiling, he pressed his lips to hers, waiting for her
response. Her hands landed on his arms, gripping his muscles. “There’s no
turning back.”

“I know.”

Gripping her head, he slammed his lips down on hers,
plunging his tongue into her waiting mouth. She gasped, opening her lips, and
Ripper took full advantage. Judi met his tongue
with her own,
sliding them against each other.

With his hands on her hand, he only kissed her, not
pressing his cock to her stomach.

She moaned, and he didn’t let go. When he was sure she
wouldn’t move away, he slid his hands down to cup her fall ass. Judi was his,
and part of him knew he was never letting her go.

****

Staring at her reflection Judi wondered if she could
see a difference from the kiss alone. He’d dropped her off ten minutes ago, and
she’d climbed the wall to get into her room. There was no sign of anyone in her
room, and she’d quickly removed her clothes changing into her nightwear of
shorts and a vest. Releasing her hair, she turned her face left and right. It
was past one, and Ripper had spent a long time simply kissing her lips.

Pressing a finger to her lips she felt she could taste
him on her tongue. He didn’t stop kissing her until he was ready to stop. His
touch was so demanding yet sweet at the same time.

You’re losing your mind.

Switching the light off, she went to her bed and lay
down staring at the ceiling. There was no way she’d be returning to college.
She’d talk to Devil soon about changing to online classes rather than leaving
him. Thinking about Devil, she did understand what Ripper was talking about.
He’d become the father she never had. The club was her family, and no one
messed with her. She knew the dynamics of the club. When they had gatherings
with family members she saw all the sweet-butts and the men.

Judi refused to think about Ripper as anything other
than a friend with benefits. He wasn’t the kind of man who settled down with a
woman. She’d heard many of the sweet-butts talking about his needs within the
bedroom. His attitude was also well known as being unapproachable. Ripper never
treated her like that. They were always friendly with each other.

Rolling to her side she stared out of the window into
the darkness. What would it be like to finally give herself to a man she
actually wanted? Thumping her pillow she rolled over trying to get the kiss out
of mind. Closing her eyes, she felt so tired and just wanted to sleep.

The following morning she woke up hearing Simon
screaming. Getting to her feet she walked into the nursery to find Devil trying
to change Elizabeth’s diaper while also attempting to entertain Simon.

“Fuck, you stink, girl,” Devil said.

Laughing, Judi walked into the room feeling really
happy. “I’ll help you out.”

“Yeah, you take care of Elizabeth, and I’ll get
breakfast on,” Devil said.

Picking Simon up, she shook her head. “You’re dear old
daddy. You can deal with her … mess.”

Leaving the nursery Judi couldn’t stop laughing all
the way to the kitchen. She stopped to give Simon time on the toilet before
getting him to wash his hands. “Your daddy is seeing the error of his ways in
diapers.”

Putting the kettle on, she placed some porridge in a
bowl for Simon then watched as Devil came downstairs looking green.

She handed him a coffee before going back to the
stove.

“What’s for breakfast?” he asked.

“I’m making some scrambled eggs. I’m not doing anything
with too much of a bad smell,” she said, pointing up at the ceiling.

“I know. She slept all night last night. Everything in
the books has said
it’s
morning sickness and said it
should go.”

Judi served them both up breakfast, sitting at the
counter staring at him. “Why do you think it’s something different?”

“She didn’t have this kind of illness with the other
two.”

“Other one,” she said, pointing at Simon.

“Shit, yeah. I forget at times. She didn’t have it
with Elizabeth.”

Simon was not Lexie’s son. Her sister dropped him off
within days of him being born to look after. Judi didn’t know what had gone down
between Lexie’s sister, Kayla, and Devil, only that Kayla had never returned to
take her son.

“No pregnancy is the same. Trust Lexie. She’ll let you
know when something is not right.”

She ate her scrambled eggs and tried not to think
about last night. Thoughts of Ripper’s lips on her lips going down to her neck
were invading her mind constantly.

“What did you do last night?” Devil asked.

“
Erm,
read a little. There’s
something I want to talk to you about actually. I was thinking of finishing my
courses online. Lexie could do with the help, and I can learn the same here as
I can at college.” She stared into his eyes hoping he didn’t notice the blush
she was sure stained her cheeks.

“What’s wrong with college?”

“Nothing.
Lexie and Phoebe need me. I also know club business still goes down.”
She held her hand up to stop him from interfering. “The Skulls
talk,
and you do as well. I also notice you lock the door to
your office. Don’t lie to me, Devil. I’m not wanting part of it, but you can’t
be here twenty-four seven. What will happen if you’re needed to help The Skulls
out again?”

A couple of years ago, not long after she’d moved in
with Devil and Lexie, he disappeared to help Tiny, the president of The Skulls,
when he was under threat. The two clubs had formed some kind of friendship, and
Lexie always catered to them when they visited.

“You know too much for your own good.”

“Can I stay home?” she asked.

“You fall behind at college and I’ll ground you,” he
said.

Judi burst out laughing. She’d never been grounded in
her whole life. “You’re kidding, right? I’m twenty years old.”

“Yeah, I’m bigger, stronger, and pay for your college,
Princess. I’ll put you over my knee if I have to. You’re my girl, remember?”

She knew she shouldn’t find the threat of a spanking
sweet, but she did. Devil had really taken the role of her father seriously.

“I love you, Devil.”

“Love you, too, Princess.”

There was no sexual love between them. They were like father
and daughter.

“What have I missed?” Lexie asked, entering the
kitchen. There was a little color in her cheeks for the first time since her
pregnancy began.

“Nothing.
I’m going to be sticking around for a while,” Judi said, grabbing some
plain toast for Lexie.

“Really, why?”

“Mommy,” Simon said, reaching for Lexie.

“Leave her be, son,” Devil said.

“I think
it’s
best I stick
around. You may not think you need me, Lex, but you do.”

“I’m not going to lie. Your presence will be welcome,
especially when Devil goes on one of his runs. I know you’ve left it to the
boys. They need their leader with them, baby.”

Judi watched the moment between the two without saying
anything.

“I’m going to the library and get everything set up.
I’ll be back by twelve.” Judi kissed Lexie on the cheek then moved to Devil
doing the same. Once she was dressed she saw a text from Ripper waiting for
her.

Ripper: What you doing today?

Judi: I’m going to the library.

Hiking her bag onto her shoulder she walked downstairs
and said her goodbyes to Devil. She didn’t mind walking into town. Her cell
phone buzzed, and she saw it was from Ripper again.

Ripper: Meet me around the back.

What was he doing? Excitement filled every part of her
senses. Even as she thought he was crazy, she couldn’t stop the thrill of
knowing she was going to see him again so soon. Walking into town she made her
way around the back of the library to find Ripper there, smoking. He threw the
cigarette away when he saw her.

Walking toward him she stopped with enough distance
between them so no one would think anything of them being together. “What are
you doing here?” she asked.

“I came to see you.”

“I talked with Devil. I’ve got to get back home by
twelve.”

“I’m not here to detain you,
baby
.
Come here and give me a kiss.”

Her heart leapt inside her chest. Closing the distance
between them, she wrapped her arms around his neck as he held onto her waist.
His lips were on hers in the next second, and she felt like she was floating away
from the pleasure of his lips alone.

“Fuck, I missed you last night,” he said, muttering
the words against her lips.

“We were only apart for a few hours.”

“I couldn’t stop thinking about your fucking lips.
They’re going to be the only thing I can think about.”

Drawing him down, she licked along his full lips
before plundering her tongue into his mouth. His hands squeezed her ass, and
heat swamped her pussy.

“Right, I’m going to leave you to your work,” he said,
pulling away and forcing her away from him.

“What? You’re just going to leave?”

“Yep, try and concentrate on your coursework not me.”
He stroked a finger down her cheek before leaving.

The bastard.
He knew she wouldn’t be
able to focus on anything else but him.

Growling in annoyance she stormed into the library.
Setting up her work online she sent the college an email then started to
arrange for her course books to be sent home. All the time she worked, her lips
tingled from the simple contact with Ripper.

Chapter Five

“Anyone know what’s going on with Tiny and The
Skulls?” Ripper asked. When he entered the clubhouse twenty minutes ago he’d
discovered they were all in church talking. Devil had seemed satisfied with his
excuse of needing a ride for not being at the club. He thought about Judi and
the way her lips had quivered beneath his as he kissed her. Fuck, he couldn’t
get her off his mind.

“Tiny got in touch about a girl called Prue. She was
shot and is in the hospital and critical. No one knows he’s phoned me to give
me an update,” Devil said, running a finger over his lips.
