ROMANCE: MC BIKER ROMANCE: Bad Boy Biker's Baby (Bad Boy Alpha Male Motorcycle Club Romance) (Contemporary MC Biker Pregnancy Romance) (75 page)

He wondered what he was going to do when suddenly his tiger took over.  Before he could stop himself, he had transformed into a fierce looking Bengal tiger.  David was no longer in control as his tiger rushed forward and broke through the circle of wolves, ripping out the necks of any wolf that got in his way. 

Soon enough he was standing by his wife and hissing at the wolves as they tried to approach the woman.  His tiger was bent on protecting this woman until the end.  The wolves seemed to snicker at his efforts and thought he was a fool for trying to take on the whole pack. 

Suddenly, as a whole mass they attacked the tiger.  The tiger, however, managed to fight them all off.  There seemed to be something in the tiger’s attacks that was way more powerful than strength alone.  There appeared to be something else fueling his power.  Maybe it was an urge to protect this woman.  Maybe he needed to keep her safe.  Maybe this was the strength of a protector.

Nonetheless, with several vigorous swipes of his paws, David managed to fight off the whole pack and they ended up running off with their tails between their legs.

With the threat of danger gone, David was able to turn back into his human form.  He looked down at his wife.  She was still unconscious.  There was a pool of blood under her head at this point.  David could see a significant gash in her head.  He frowned, looking at her, so pale and motionless.  He wondered if she was still alive.  His heart seemed to ache at the thought of her never opening her eyes again.  Would he ever look into those green?

Chapter 4

David stared at her for a moment, as the sight of her blood made him a little woozy.  Soon enough his tiger urged him to action and he picked her up.  He cradled her in his arms gently before carrying her back inside.  Most other men would have tired from carrying her inside but to David she was almost weightless and he could have carried her around the mansion five times without falter. 

Eventually, he made his way inside and found the private bedroom that had been set up for them.  It was decorated with unwrapped gifts for their wedding day.  He ignored all of these decorations as he placed her on the bed and prayed she was okay. 

David never knew himself to be so concerned about someone before but as he looked down at her, there was something about her that made his heart throb.  He didn’t know what it was, but he wanted to ignore it.  He didn’t wish to admit that it was there.

But he couldn’t think about these things right now.  Instead, he had to help his wife. So he took off his shirt and looked at her before ripping off strips of cloth from his shirt.  He gently wrapped them around her head as best as he could.  He contemplated calling an ambulance, but he didn’t want to risk the doctors learning that it had been a werewolf attack.  Instead, he sat by her side and prayed that she would be okay, that the bleeding would stop, and that what little experience he had from medical school would help him out here. 

To his relief, it didn’t take very long for her to wake up.  When she did, he looked into her beautiful green eyes and a smile spread across his face like an infection.  He was relieved to see those eyes again and she looked at him a little confused. 

Her head hurt like hell and she wondered what was going on before she remembered everything.  She looked at him and tilted her head, “H…how did you…?”  Her voice was small and weak.  Throughout this ordeal, Lara had not eaten a thing.  Her body was slowly deteriorating. 

David looked at her and gently shushed her.  He smiled warmly before grabbing a plate of food off the nightstand.  “Before anything else you are weak and you need to eat.”  Lara looked at the plate of food and shook her head. 

“No… I’m not hungry…”  She said before looking away.  It was apparent that she was lying.

“Please… eat something… I don’t want you passing out again.”  He pushed the plate of food toward her.  It was at this moment that she looked up.  As she did, she noticed that he was shirtless.  She blushed darkly as her eyes looked over his body.  His chest was muscly and on it grew a reddish fur, not too much, that she yearned to stoke. His shoulders were broad, his arms strong. She felt her eyes drop down to his well-defined abs and she felt warm inside. This sexy man was her husband? And various scars adorned his body.  She wondered where they had all come from, she wondered what their stories were. 

As she looked at her husband, her eyes finally made their way back to his face.  She looked at his angular face and his high cheek bones.  She noticed his thick red hair on the top of his head. She wanted to run her fingers through it, to feel its softness, but she knew she would never dream of doing something like that.  She then gazed into his golden eyes and marveled at how unusual they were.  She had never seen someone with golden eyes before.  Maybe he wore colored contacts? 

David noticed her staring at him and said nothing.  He was used to women gawking at him but for some reason Lara’s stare made him blush and he tried to look away, but he was pulled in by her jade colored eyes.  They had an intensity he had never seen before and he wondered what secrets they could unlock about his wife. 

As he looked at her he realized that she would not eat on her own accord and so he picked up a strawberry and slowly placed it on her lip giving her a puppy dog look.  Lara could not deny him his request and she gently opened up her mouth and accepted the piece of fruit.  It was the first real morsel of food she had eaten in weeks and it tasted so good.  She smiled at him and he smiled back. 

“See isn’t that better?”  He asked softly before handing her the plate.  She took it this time.  “I know what Rhonda said was harsh… but I want you to know that I don’t think anything she said was true.  You are beautiful in your own unique way.”  He smiled warmly at her and Lara stopped eating.  Her cheeks were burning red.  She had never been this embarrassed before. 

“Now do you mind if I take a look at your head while you eat?”  David asked and Lara shook her head.  She felt like she couldn’t deny this man anything.  He smiled and nodded at her before gently unwrapping his shirt from her head.  The wound had stopped bleeding for now.  He got up and got a wet hand cloth and started to gently clean up her wound. 

Lara was surprised by how gentle he was being.  She would never have expected someone like him to be this gentle with someone like her.  When he was done cleaning up the wound, he noticed that it wasn’t as bad as it seemed and that, with a little care, it would be healed in no time.

He got the first aid kit and started to disinfect it.  Lara winced a bit, but David held her hand which only made her cheeks burn even more.  She couldn’t really believe any of this was happening.  A handsome man was taking care of her.  A handsome man thought she was beautiful.  A handsome man had saved her from a pack of wolves. 

Lara thought that maybe this arranged marriage wasn’t so bad after all. 

Chapter 5

After a while, the two of them started to warm up to each other.  They were actually lying together, although with a significant gap between them.  

“So your favorite color is purple?”  Lara nodded and smiled. 

“How did you know?”  He gently pulled on the chain around her neck.  Attached to the end of it was a purple stone.

“I noticed this.”  Lara was surprised that he had picked out such a small detail about her.  It almost made her feel special. 

“W… what’s your favorite color?”  She asked, tilting her head. 

“Orange,” David answered without hesitation.  “Oh and by the way, you can call me Davy. I hate the name David.  I know it’s kind of random, but I figured if we are husband and wife now I would let you know.”  Lara blushed at his words but nodded at him.  Davy.  She liked that.

Davy looked at her and they laid there in silence for a moment.  Lara then broke the silence by asking, “Why is orange your favorite color?”  Davy thought about just giving her a generic answer but if this woman was to be his wife she needed to know the truth.  He suddenly sat up.  Lara looked at him startled.  Was something wrong?

“Lara… may I call you that?”  She nodded and he continued.  “Lara, there’s actually a very complicated reason for that, but I am not sure I should tell you…”  Lara looked at him a little confused.  She didn’t understand how someone’s favorite color could be so complicated. 

He could see the look in her eye and sighed. 

“I am not like everyone else… I’m different.”  This confused Lara even more.  “I’m not entirely human…”  This completely threw Lara off the railings, but she continued to look at him. 

“That girl… the one that was mean to you… she used to be one of my old girlfriends.  We had a splendid relationship going on until I hurt her…”  Davy looked away, as if ashamed of himself.  Lara, although still confused continued to look at him and gently placed her hand over his. 

“There’s this… animal inside of me… that likes to come out sometimes… and when that happens I can get out of control…”  He whispered softly, looking at her with big eyes.  Lara thought about what this could mean.  Did he have some sort of temper problem that he was alluding to?  She stayed silent. 

“It’s kind of hard without showing you… but I don’t think I should.”  Lara looked at him with intense eyes. 

“It’s okay… I’m not scared of you if that’s what you are worried about.  You have saved me twice today…”  She murmured, looking at him and giving his hand a squeeze. 

“Maybe you should be,” he said solemnly looking away.  He got up and paced around the room.  He didn’t know what to do.  A part of him wanted to show her his tiger form.  The other part of him knew how dangerous it would be. 

But his tiger urged him on.  His tiger wanted to come out and greet her.  Davy didn’t know if he would be able to control his tiger or if it would be like the last time.  Old memories flooded into Davy’s mind as he thought about his last encounter with Rhonda. 

He was on top of her and they were going at it, moans and screams were filling the room as they went at it hard and fast.  Suddenly, she had dug her nails into his back and he had lost all control.  At that moment, he had shifted and his tiger had tried to mate with her. 

His tiger had reached down and bit her shoulder, leaving behind two large scars.  Davy remembered how she had screamed.  It had sounded like she was being murdered, but he was defenseless to do anything as his tiger had full control. 

His tiger didn’t finish the bond with Rhonda before Davy took control.  Rhonda was left withering in pain on the bed as he rushed out of the room and abandoned her.  He had never forgiven himself after that.  However, Davy couldn’t run away forever. He knew his actions would one day haunt him.  It seemed like fate had chosen his wedding night.

The incomplete bond with Rhonda made her dependent on him, made her crave him like nothing else.  The only way he could stop her torment was to find his true mate, but so far he had not found her.  David often had doubts whether she even existed at all. 

Finally, Lara snapped him out of his trance.  “Davy?”  Her sweet voice pulled him back to earth and he shook his head to clear his mind. 

“S…sorry… I was just thinking about something.”               

“Is it about that woman?”  Davy nodded sadly before looking away.  “Davy… please… whatever it is… please show me… I want to know what is going on and what I am getting myself into by being your wife.”  She blushed at her own words but looked at him with big eyes.  He looked into those eyes now and knew he couldn’t deny her. 

There was something inside of him that couldn’t deny her.  It was like some primal feeling he couldn’t ignore.  There was something different about this woman, something different than all the other woman he had ever been with.  Davy couldn’t quite figure out what it was, but it was there, lurking in his chest. 

Sighing, Davy moved toward her.  He closed his eyes and allowed his tiger to take over.  Lara gasped as she watched him change in front of her.  His transformation was like something out of a movie, but she was mesmerized as she watched the handsome man turn into a beautiful tiger. 

She looked into the tiger’s beautifully golden eyes and could not stop herself as her hand reached out.  She touched him, gently scratching his ears and a loud purring noise rumbled throughout the bedroom. 

Lara smiled at the tiger.  This should have freaked her out.  She should be screaming in fright, but instead she felt comfortable and safe with the tiger.  She smiled at it again.  The tiger purred even louder. 

Davy couldn’t believe how well the situation was going.  It seemed like everything was going smoothly.  Lara appeared to be calm and his tiger also appeared to be calm.  After a moment, he turned back into his human form. 

Lara looked at him with big eyes and Davy looked back.  He couldn’t help himself as he moved toward her, held her cheeks in his hands and kissed her lips for the very first time. 

Chapter 6

The kiss escalated. Soon, Davy pressed his lips against hers harder as hidden emotions came to the surface, making themselves known as their lips pressed together. 

Davy could feel his heart throb as he wrapped his arms around his wife.  He kissed her even harder.  She seemed to be enjoying the experience as she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed back. 

She had never kissed anyone before, but she quickly learned and soon enough her tongue was dancing with Davy’s in his mouth.  She could feel excitement running through her veins as he kissed her.  She had never felt like this before.
