Two Hitmen: A Double Bad Boy Mafia Romance (Lawless Book 1) (29 page)

The hard, warm tips of his fingers touched my soft, cool palm and his thumb brushed the back of my hand. A jolt ran up my arm and shocked my whole body. There was no way I could be sure that he felt it too. Maybe his eyes flashed, I couldn’t be certain.

The full beams of his brown eyes were on me. My breath caught. He called, “Beanie? More coffee, prospect.”

‘Prospect’ was something to do with motorcycle clubs. It meant that Beanie was a part of the same club as Hammer. Or he had applied for membership. Something like that.

I don’t know why, but I felt safe with Hammer. I don’t usually open up to strangers. Coming from a family background like mine, I didn’t open up all that much with close friends. Hammer seemed different.

The way he looked at me, it was like he could hold me with his eyes. He listened. Really listened, like what I said would matter to him. I told him about Larry, about how his dreams of the big-time. How he practically dragged me to Boulder.

“
Boulder fucking Colorado
for Chrissakes.” I said, my head slowly shaking, “Man’s in his mid thirties—he says—wants to be a big-time gambler, ‘whale of a whale,’ whatever that’s supposed to mean, and so he drags me to fucking Boulder?”

“I didn’t think there WAS any gambling in Boulder.”

“There isn’t. There’s one casino. One, and that’s out on Highway ninety-three. Larry thought he was going to clean up due to the scarcity of opportunity.”

Hammer’s grin flickered up, “And did he?”

“Um… no.” Hammer and me, we were light, easy together.

So before I knew it, I’d told him how I came to be stuck here and that I wasn’t exactly sure how I was going to get out.

He said, “So maybe Larry’s in Boulder or maybe not. Are you in a big hurry to be out of Peaceable?”

“Not as such, only I have to do something. I have no money and almost certainly no place to live.”

He thought something over for a moment. Then he said, “We got a space for a bargirl in the clubhouse.”

“A whatnow?”

“I didn’t think it would be your kind of work.” He was testing me. I saw it in the pools of his eyes. He was cool and serious on the outside but, if you looked hard enough, there was a little spark that was wicked and playful.

“I don’t have a kind of work,” I told him, “and I need to acquire one pretty fast. Would you tell me what it involves?”

He sat back in his chair. “Mainly it involves a girl, in a bar. The bar fills up with bikers.” He chewed on his lip.

I said, “And then the girl does the same, is that the idea?”

He said, “I’m thinking it would be way too wild for you.”

I asked him, “What makes you say that?”

He tugged the lobe of his ear, “You look more the college-educated, sophisticated professional type.” His eyes narrowed as they swept me up and down, “I don’t know how you’d be, down among the lowlifes on the outside of town.”

“You call this a town?” Sometimes my mouth gets away from me. “How can you tell when you’re outside from when you’re inside?”

His eyebrow lifted, slowly. He was a man you just wanted to jam your fingers in his hair and muss him up. Not that he wasn’t mussed already. I just felt like I wanted him to be mussed up my way. Or by me.

He asked me if I’d done bar work and I told him no, but I knew how to make a Margueritta, a Bloody Mary and a Moscow Mule. “A masters in mixology is not required,” he said, “The orders are nearly all beer or bourbon.”

I said, “I can carry a tray.”

I saw him hold back a grin. He asked, “So, can you do math in your head when you’re off your face?”

“I don’t get off my face.”

His eyebrow lifted again. “Know the square root of 69?”

Sixty-nine. Cute. I could have said,
The square root of sixty-nine? That’ll be the hypotenuse of me, hanging upside down off of your shoulders
. But I didn’t say that. I said, “It’s going to be eight point three something-something.”

He watched me. I said, “I’m pretty sure the bikers I met in Boulder would think a square root would mean you got fucked with a two-by-two.”

He chuckled at that. He had one of those chuckles, once you hear it, you want to hear it again and again.

I said, “I nearly said ‘a two-by-four,’ but that would have been stoopid.”

And he said, “Because it’s not square,” and it was like we’d rehearsed it a hundred times.

“It’s forty bucks a night plus tips. Most girls make a whole lot more in tips than they do in the wage.”

“That’s for services beyond pouring drinks and carrying a tray, I’m guessing.” He didn’t say anything.

I said, “I want this clear from the start, OK? I don’t sell sexual services and I wont. I’ll do what I’ll do, or not. Whatever I do it will be my choice and for my own reasons.”

I chewed the inside of my cheek, trying to make up my mind. I knew what I wanted to to. I’d wanted to do it since I saw him. Something inside me didn’t want him to think I did it to get a job. The truth was that, if anything, wanting the job gave me the excuse to do what I wanted to do anyway.

As I let Hammer lead me out back, Beanie’s eyes were just a little bit sad puppy. My heart swelled for him, but I also wanted to tell him, “See?
That’s
what I meant when I said I was too old for you.”

Out in back, I pushed Hammer up against the peeling rusty paint of the concrete wall. I pressed on his chest, through his t-shirt. My teeth sank into the side of my lip as I dragged his t-shirt out of his jeans and up, over his chest.

My lips sank onto the glistening bulges of his tattooed pecs and I drank in the scent of him while my fingers found his fly-buttons. Behind the denim and inside some soft, snug white cotton, a fat armadillo was uncoiling and straining to meet me.

My fingers found and traced the shape of it. They always seem bigger when they’re behind some cloth. I gasped. This one was definitely an XL. I slid my hand down the lengthening rod and cupped his goody-sac. The head reached most of the way to the crook of my elbow.

Nibbling down his silky skin and over the humps of his abs I told him, “I have two good reasons to get your cock in my throat right now.”

“What are the reasons?”

My tongue touched his navel, “One is that I kind of like you, cowboy.”

I licked down, into the front of his tighty-whities. His voice was thickening. “What’s the other reason?”

“The other reason is none of your damn business.”

I reached inside. He was so hot and so hard. The pulse of it made my mouth water. I cupped my hand over the firm, silky head. My teeth nipped the skin by his little furrow. The scent of him made me crazy.

I slid to my knees and slipped my lips over the head of his cock. He pulsed in my mouth and I waited to savor it, feeling the raw, animal strength of him. Loving how he vibrated with energy.

My nipples scratched inside my t-shirt and I hugged his powerful thighs to feel the heat of them pressed against my breasts. With the tip of my tongue, I licked him from behind his sac, all the way up the seam, slowly till I reached his head.

I licked all around the head and slurped it into my wet mouth. My lips slid off then onto the side of the shaft and slowly back down. His hand came to the back of my head. With the backs of my fingers I lifted it gently off and raised one finger,
Not yet
.

He got it. I felt him anticipate the anticipation. His beating muscle sent shivers of thrill through me, but the charge that I got from the feeling of connection was much bigger.

I held my mouth over him, but barely touching him. Letting him feel my breath. While I blew slowly along the length of his stiffening pole, my fingers lightly touched the backs of his thighs, the crease under his buttocks, and, especially, his sac.

When he made a faint groan, I lightly traced the furrows at the sides of his hips. Despite the urge to grab him there, to pull his hot member hard into the back of my throat, I let my fingers barely touch him.

His pulse rose and hardened. So did his cock. With my breath and the touch of my nails I told him the story of a blowjob. In slow motion, and rising in detail.

He got the idea as his hands hovered over my head. I could feel him at the edge of my hair, like he could fee the shape of my mouth through the warm air around his cock.

There’s no time this stops getting better. The longer you can both hold back, the more intense it becomes. As soon as you both get it, it’s a contest for who cracks first. Who can’t hold out any longer. Who has to grab hold, make contact hard and go for it.

The skin of his hips and the tops of his thighs vibrated under my fluttering touch. His breath thickened. He thickened.

Still, he was firm. He moaned as his hands shook around my head.

Taught cables of muscle in his thighs wound and tensed. His buttocks rolled and clenched under the feathery brush of my hands. When my fingers felt at the cleft behind his balls and hovered between his cheeks, insinuating by his star, his mast swelled and pulsed.

I lost it. My fingers probed his ass and my mouth plunged on his cock. I dove. I pushed down, hot and wet until my lips hit his pubic bone. His hands seized me. One hand plunged into my hair, gripped and twisted as it shoved my head harder onto him.

The other went to my wrists, behind his ass. He tried to pull my hands away. But his heart wasn’t in it. I backed off. His thighs spread as he torpedoed into my throat. My mouth flooded with a sweet overflow of thin saliva. The dark taste of him filled my head as I swallowed him.

His hand, my head and his cock synced perfectly. Our beat rose and grew together. Finally I grabbed him with Aphrodite’s handles. He sunk into me. I moaned and cried out. But it made no sound, only vibration along the hot, sawing rail of his cock.

His hips drove into my face. Rippling rings swelled along his shaft and a fountain of hot love-lava erupted into my mouth. I took him deep. I sucked, licked and slurped. I slipped my lips and slathered my tongue on the ridges of his pulsing pump.

I didn’t lose a drop.

As we returned to the diner I looked up at him and asked, “Will the bar work be wilder than that, biker?”

“Oh, yeah. A lot wilder than that,” but his eyes told another story.

“Ok,” I told him, “Lead on.”

Beanie watched through the window as I clambered onto the back of Hammer’s Harley.

My only previous experience with bikers was the night Larry’s ‘Perfect craps system’ failed big time. He probably got his ‘perfect system’ off the internet for five bucks. Still, after it crashed horribly, he thought he’d chase down his losses, ‘Gotta stay on the steer,’ he said.

He found a table of bikers playing poker and, for some reason, Larry thought they would be an easy pond to fish. I don’t know why he didn’t want to try out his game on the half-dozen too-rich, drunk and entitled college kids wearing soggy and stained cashmere in ridiculous colors. I didn’t think to ask him.

So, Larry’s chip stack went south at speed and he got to putting up markers on things he didn’t even own. Even behind their shades, I could tell that the bikers had seen clear through Larry.

They knew they weren’t going to take the keys of an Eldorado from him, nor would they go with him to his box in the casino vault. Both things were obviously figments of Larry’s imagination.

Across the table they saw something they did want, though. Larry had no idea how lucky he was that they were sufficiently inspired by the sight of me, squeezed into a spangly boob-tube and a tiny leather skirt, to offer him a deal.

I didn’t like the looks of those three huge men, nor the razor’s edge on their laughs. I could see the kinds of things they had in mind. They didn’t involve any soft music, sweet words or sensual massage.

I could see that they were looking forward something hard, forceful and loud. Something with violence. They were considering how much of a fight I’d be likely to put up. The hard glint of menace in their eyes said they hoped it would be a lot. I really didn’t want to do it.

I didn’t want to be alone in a sketchy hotel room with those three big, fierce bikers. I could see they weren’t playing at being tough guys. Not like Larry was. They were the real deal.

Monkey, Donkey and Gat. Monkey was big and slow. He had thick, wiry red hair and a taste for fat, acrid cigars. Gat was less heavy-set, with wide shoulders and a soft, slow drawl. Donkey was the short one with little, fast eyes.

When it shook out that Larry was going to be in the room with us, I couldn’t decide whether that was worse or way worse. There was no way that Larry was going to be my knight in shining armor.

If things got too rough for me, Larry wasn’t going to dive in with his arms out, shouting “Stand aside!” and drag these three bulls off me. So watching Larry’s reaction wasn’t going to make the situation any easier for me. Still, it was what it was.

I don’t know what made me agree to it in the end, some stupid idea I still had about Larry, I guess, but agree I did, and pretty soon the five of us were in a hotel suite that was surprisingly nice.

High up with floor-to-ceiling windows and a view of the pylons stretching back to Boulder. Spacious, though. Lots of thick, cream-colored rugs and a really big, soft bed.

The shortest of the bikers was a stocky guy they called ‘Donkey.’ Donkey asked how I felt about being the winnings in a poker game. I couldn’t tell if he was after some banter or if he wanted to degrade me, showing me that I was being passed around.

Maybe getting me used to the idea. Since their plan was to pass me around. At least, that was what I expected. It turned out, their plan was more to throw me around.

“Drink, honeylips?” Donkey held out a can. I stepped towards him and he grabbed my chin, pinching my cheeks with his hand. “Maybe some sausage first.”

He pulled my face close to his. “Go on, sweetheart,” He swung a wide grin round at his buddies, “take out my cock and get it down your throat.”

He pulled my face southwards, past the bulge of his barrel-chest and his overfed gut. In the front of his denims, a very fat cock was straining to get out. As I bent towards it, a big paw came from behind and up my skirt.

“Aww, she’s
wet!
” My dripping panties were ripped out and Monkey’s voice grated behind me with an evil chuckle, “I think she’s pleased to see us, boys!” His fingers parted my lips and dragged into my canal.
