Ruin and Rise (7 page)

She smiled up at him. “You’ve thought correctly.” Dani moaned as his hand slid between her thighs, cupping her flesh. She closed her eyes, and opened her legs wider for him to slide deeper inside her. “I need you, Shakes.”

“Oh, baby, you’re going to get me. See, today has been really stressful for me, and the only way I can deal with something like that is to fuck. I want to fuck you. I’m going to spend all night fucking you.”

“Yes, I want that. I need that, please.”

He didn’t make her wait long. Before they’d even finished washing, he picked her up, dried her luscious body off with a towel, and then carried her out of the bathroom and into their bedroom. He placed her on the edge of the bed and took a step back, wrapping his fingers around his cock.

“I want your lips on me now,” he said.

Sinking to her knees, Dani was more than happy to oblige.

D
ani grabbed his
cock, and before he could even think straight, she had his dick in her mouth. She sucked at him, stroked him with her tongue, and then cupped his balls with her hand. He groaned, snapped his mouth closed, and gritted his teeth. Shakes watched her hollow out her cheeks and take more of him into her mouth until the head of his erection bumped the back of her throat.

They were both mindless with desire, and he couldn’t handle this right now. He didn’t want to come in her mouth, even if it was hot as fuck. He wanted her in their bed and under him so he could worship her.

He pulled her to her feet, slammed his lips against hers, and speared his tongue into her mouth. For several long seconds, he didn’t do anything but fuck her mouth with his.

“I have to have you now, Dani baby.”

She breathed hard. Her mouth was swollen, red from his kisses and sucking his cock, and finally she nodded. “Good, because I need you, too.”

He inhaled deeply, took in the light floral scent of her hair, and closed his eyes. He’d never thought he’d find a woman that made him feel like this, made him feel alive. Just being with Daniella made things good, better, and he never wanted to let her go.

Shakes was used to taking what he wanted when he wanted it, but he’d always been gentle with her, and would show her every second of every day for the rest of his life that she meant so much to him. She was everything to him. He’d show her that she meant more to him than anything else on this planet.

She pulled back and looked up at him, while he cupped the side of her face, smoothed his thumb along her cheek, and reveled in the fact her skin was buttery smooth, that she was actually his. He leaned down and kissed her soft and slow.

“I want you so much,” she whispered against his mouth. “I love you so much.”

He groaned. “I love you, Dani. I fucking love you, baby.” He kissed her hard and long.

With her hands on his chest, he felt her smooth them down his abdomen until she pressed her fingers against his erection. He groaned when she touched him, grabbed his cock in her small hand.

Moving his hand behind her head, he cupped her, held her as he deepened the kiss, and moved his tongue faster and harder against hers. His mind and body screamed for more, to be rougher, harder, but he fought those urges because right now he needed to be gentle with her.

When she moaned against him, he moved his hands to cup her ass, and squeezed the globes.

Lifting her off the ground, he loved that she was all curves, all his. She wrapped her legs around his waist right away, ground her pussy on his cock, and he grunted from the contact. The hard length of his dick prodded between her legs. With their mouths still fused, and her legs wrapped around him firmly, he moved them toward the bed. He laid her on the mattress, took a step back, and looked his fill at her.

She breathed in and out fast, her breasts rising and falling from the force. The thatch of trimmed hair that covered the top of her mound beckoned him, but the sight of her bare pussy lips had pre-cum slipping from the tip of his cock. The way her legs were wide open, giving him that prime shot of her wet, swollen, red pussy, made him feel feral. He grabbed his shaft, started stroking himself from root to tip as he stared at her luscious body, and groaned.

She sat up and reached for him. Dani pushed his hand away, and although he wanted to be in control, he let her lead the way. She was the one who started moving her hand up and down his dick, grabbed his balls with her other hand, and had him on the verge of coming just from the gentle pressure and motion she tortured him with.

But he was too far gone for the foreplay. He pushed her back on the bed until she was lying on it once again, her legs spread, and her lips parted as she exhaled harshly from arousal.

Dani rested against the mattress and watched him. The sound of her swallowing filled the too quiet room. When he moved his hands up her legs again, all he did for a suspended moment was stare at where his hands rested on her inner thighs. A tightening started at the base of his spine the longer he stared at her pussy.

“Please,” she whispered into the darkness. “I need you, Shakes. I’ll always need you.” She closed her eyes and let her head fall back when he moved his fingers along her silky folds.

He needed to make this good for her because she deserved nothing less. “Look at me when I’m touching you, baby,” he said in a hard voice. He was hardened naturally from the experiences he’d gone through, but he was trying to be the man she deserved.

She lifted her gaze to his, and for several long seconds he didn’t speak. They just stared at each other while he continued to keep a firm, yet gentle hold on her inner thighs. Slowly, he removed his hands from her. Sliding his palms up her body, he stopped right below her breasts. Shakes could feel how fast and hard her heart was beating. Moving onto his knees between her legs, he leaned forward and ran his tongue along her cleft. He loved eating her out, loved licking the cream from her pussy, hearing her moan, and reveled in the fact that it was because of
him
she felt such pleasure.

She tasted sweet and slightly musky, was soft beneath his lips, and he felt this rope in him draw tight before snapping in half. He started licking and sucking at her, wrapped his lips around her clit until she was pulling at his hair and moaning. She moved her hips back and forth, up and down, thrust her pussy firmly against his mouth, and then he felt her explode around him as she came.

“
Please
, Shakes” she whispered, pleaded and begged into the darkness. “I need to feel you inside me.” She lifted her head and stared at him.

“You’re so beautiful, baby … so
mine
,” Shakes whispered. “You’re mine, baby. No one will have you but me. Ever”

“I don’t want anyone else to have me.”

Although being gentle with her was coming more naturally than it ever had in his life, Shakes still had to rein in his desire to thrust right into her. She was pregnant with his baby, and he needed to be gentle with her. He caressed her in gentle sweeps of his fingers, mouth, and tongue, until goosebumps formed along her skin.

“Every part of you is mine.” He moved his hands up so they rested right under her breasts. He couldn’t help but continue to tell her that she was his, irrevocably, undeniably. “Look at me.” He waited until she obeyed, and then he caressed her breasts, stroked her nipples, and loved that she arched into his touch.

He leaned up and took her mouth again, and Shakes became lost in the sensations of their lips, tongues, and hands moving along each other’s bodies.

He gripped her chin in a soft hold, waited until she stared into his eyes, and then he spoke. “This, right here, you and me, is what is right. It feels good because you are meant to be mine.” He stared into her face.

“Shakes,” she said his name softly.

And then he kissed her hard and possessively. He wasn’t about to take this for granted. He’d never take her for granted. She was his, he was hers, and this life, with her, was right where he was supposed to be.

Shakes stared at
Demon. They’d met at a bar on the outskirts of town. Shakes knew they could have done this at the meeting room, but he wanted neutral ground, wanted to be able to look at his former President without the memories of club life right in his face.

“I have a feeling you bringing me to this piece of shit bar to talk to me about what the club offered isn’t going to go down the way we hoped,” Demon said and leaned back in his seat. This bar was a piece of shit. It was dirty, had crap all over the floor, and the people currently lined up at the bar were already drunker than shit even though it was only two in the afternoon.

“Listen, I want to say up front, before anything else is mentioned, that Daniella wants me to be happy even if that means going back to the club.”

Demon didn’t say anything, just nodded.

“But what I didn’t tell you guys is that Daniella is pregnant.”

“Well, shit, man,” Demon said and ran a hand over his hair. “Welcome to fatherhood,” he said and smiled.

Shakes nodded, thought about being a dad, and he couldn’t help but smile. “Listen, I want to say, all that shit that happened with Zeke, even though I don’t regret taking Daniella and doing what I did,” he looked up at Demon, knowing this needed said. “I wanted to say I’m sorry for not giving a shit about the fact Zeke threatened Deanna and your kid. It was wrong, so fucking wrong, and I wasn’t thinking about anyone but myself.”

Demon didn’t say anything, but his look was hard, thoughtful almost.

“But because of all the shit we went through, what I put the club through, I can’t go back to the club. It’ll make the MC look weak, make them vulnerable.”

“The club can handle itself. We can fucking take down anyone that comes for us.”

Shakes nodded. “Believe me, I fucking know, but I can’t do that to the club again, you know that.”

Demon nodded after a few seconds. “Yeah, I know, man.”

“I have a kid on the way, I don’t want to put them in danger, but I love the MC, love all of you. You’re my family, the only family I’ve ever really had.”

“We feel the same way, brother, even though shit went down the way it did.”

“That’s why, although I can’t be in the MC anymore, I want to be able to help you guys. You need me and I’ll be there.’

Demon nodded. “Fair enough, and even if the MC wants you back and you’re declining, know that you have a place, no matter what.”

That meant a hell of a lot to Shakes, but right now, for the foreseeable future, he just couldn’t be with the MC anymore. He needed to focus on Dani and their kid, needed to make things work with the way their life was now. That was what was important. His woman, his kid, those were what mattered in his life above all else now.

Z
eke stood in
his secluded section of club Dominion. He stared across the floor and smiled when he saw Striker. It was always a great feeling when he was right about a guy. From the first moment he stared at Striker, he’d recognized the darkness within him. He felt something inside himself that always veered to the dark side.

“Here you go, Master,” Louise said, entering his secluded spot. She was one of the few women he allowed in his domain while he was at Dominion. She was also the woman he’d been fucking in his office when Dani was waiting for him. Fuck, he didn’t even want to think of his daughter listening to him fuck. Just like he didn’t want to think of his daughter fucking a man, or fucking at all.
