Wanted by the Devil (5 page)

              Kaylie licked the hot sauce off her fingers and leaned back on the blanket that had magically appeared for them. So had two full plates of food along with two frosty cold beer bottles. She was already getting used to that. All the little things the people in the club did for Devlin. It wasn't just the club members, it was the prospects, the girlfriends, the hanger ons. Even the older generations were represented and went out of their way for Devlin. It really was a family picnic. And they all looked up to
him
.

             
Devlin was beside her, nursing his beer. He had been sipping the same bottle for at least an hour. She knew it was for her benefit. He wouldn't drink and drive with her on the back of his bike.

             
Things were definitely going better since their talk. Kaylie was finally relaxing and just enjoying herself. She hadn't seen the blond girl anywhere either. Maybe she had been imagining the girl's animosity. She was probably just a hanger on after all. There were a lot of sexy looking girls hanging around who didn't seem attached to anyone. A few were oiling themselves up and laying out in the sun to tan, but it was obviously just a ploy to get one of the guys to notice them. It probably worked. They were putting on quite a display. Devlin never once looked over there though. He was a gentleman through and through underneath all that leather.

             
Kaylie smiled to herself, wondering how Devlin would react to seeing her in her bikini. It was a little small on her truth be told. After all, the last time she'd had need of a bikini she'd been 15 years old and working at a summer camp during the day. She had definitely filled in since then. A lot.

But
the lake looked inviting on such a warm day. It had been ages since she’d gone swimming. Besides, it would be extremely interesting to see if Devlin liked what he saw… She decided that she might as well go for it before she lost her nerve. She pulled her top off over her head in a fluid motion and got to her feet.

             
"What are you-"

             
"Swimming silly. Don't you want to come?"

             
She shimmied her cut off shorts down over her hips and smiled over her shoulder at him. The poor man looked thunderstruck as she laughed and ran towards the water. She'd never seen him looking anything but self assured. She doubted anyone ever had. He was the one sitting on the throne after all. He'd been born and bred to lead. He'd been the President since coming of age five years ago. Everyone knew that.

             
She ran into the water and dove in, ignoring the hooting and hollering all around her. The crowd of bikers had gone crazy as she dashed toward the sand, turning her cheeks bright pink. She came up gasping for air from the sudden chill. The water was way colder than she'd expected it to be! All the sudden she felt arms close around her and turned, sputtering with indignation.

             
Devlin smiled down at her, his wet hair curling over his forehead.

             
"You didn't think I was going to let you go in by yourself looking like that did you?"

             
She smiled at him.

             
"A lot of the girls are wearing bikinis."

             
He smiled and lifted her up before tossing her into the water a few feet away. She grabbed his ankle playfully under the water until he yanked her up into his arms again.

             
"Yeah but not one of them looks even remotely like you do. Jesus woman!"

             
"You're the one who told me to wear a bikini."

             
"I'm a genius."

             
"Well, you are smarter than you look…"

             
He growled at her as she pushed off and swam deeper from the shore. They didn't notice the eyes watching them from across the lake.

**********

              Dani was pouting as she watching Devlin and his new tramp frollicking in the water. He’d never acted that way with her. All he’d done was crook his finger when he wanted to fool around and pretty much ignored her the rest of the time.

             
But oh my, he’d been amazing in bed. She’d had plenty of guys before and since of course. None had come even close to matching Dev. Damn him and his sudden interest in relationships.

             
She’d known this was coming of course. Everyone had known that Devlin had a special lady in mind and was waiting until she was of age. But she hadn’t imagined the hot slice of jealousy that would rip through her guts at the sight of them together.

             
Why hadn’t he been that way with
her?

             
“What’d you want to see me about Dani?”

             
She turned at the sound of Officer Grant’s gravelly voice behind her. She flared her eyes at him coquettishly and he narrowed his, looking her over.

             
He’d asked her out before so she knew he liked what he saw. So far she had yet to give into his attentions.

             
“You’re always saying how you wanted to put him away. Well, so do I.”

             
“Oh really? How the tides have turned.”

             
“Office Grant I have
always
been on the right side of the law!”

             
He grinned and stepped forward, grabbing her hips.

             
“I’d rather have you under it.”

             
She giggled nervously. He was a little bit too aggressive for her taste. But if she had to give in to get what she wanted, so be it.

             
“That can be arranged.”

             
He grunted and kissed her mouth hard. Then he lifted his head up and looked around making sure nobody could see them. He grabbed her hand and yanked her back towards a copse of trees and bushes.

             
Oh crap.

             
Dani’s plan was to cause Devlin and his new hussy some trouble. Not to get mauled by Officer Friendly in the bushes. The last thing she needed was to get poison ivy on her ass.

             
“Um… Grant? What is your plan exactly?”

             
He turned once they were screened from the rest of the camp grounds and grinned at her, reaching for his belt buckle.

             
“I thought we’d kill two birds with one stone.”

             
“Two birds?”

             
He nodded, his hands moving to his shirt buttons. Once they were undone, he reached for her.

             
“Uh huh. One bird is getting me laid. The other bird is getting Dev thrown in jail. And you’re going to help me with that. Don’t scream if I get a little rough. It’s just for effect. Your job is make sure someone sees you guys together later tonight.”

             
Her eyes widened as she took in his meaning. He ripped her shirt off, scratching her skin. Dani had to bite her lip to keep from whimpering as he forced her onto the ground.

Devlin was letting himself be led around the State Fair like a dog on a leash, but he didn't care. Kaylie's enthusiasm for the carnival was contagious. He realized he'd been smiling non stop while his woman dragged him onto various rides and fed him little bits of cotton candy.

             
Until he'd noticed her. The girl with long blond hair was following them.

             
Dani.

             
A couple of years ago he'd had a thing with Dani. Nothing serious, just fooled around a couple of times. She was a good looking girl but her attitude was always out of control and her mood swings made her not a lot of fun to be around. She was the younger sister of one of the club's old lady's so he couldn't just ignore her until she went away when he was done with her like he usually did with women. He'd had to sit down and have a talk with her about why it wasn't going to work out.

             
Hell, they'd just been kids. It was never going to 'work out' for them anyway. But Dani hadn't taken it well. And she hadn't given up hope. He'd never had a girlfriend in all the time since. Lots of girls had helped him pass the time but never for long. She hadn't much liked any of those girls either.

             
But this was different. He wouldn't let her intimidate his woman, or ruin even a second of her celebration today. Kaylie had already mentioned a blond girl staring at her. It would not make her happy if she found out Dani was his ex, or that she'd been trailing them all night. He would do anything to protect Kaylie, even if he had to tell Dani to back off and risk offending Bruce and his old lady Janine.

             
It didn't make sense though. Dani had to have known about Kaylie for a while now, everyone in the club did. He'd been having the guys look after her for so long now, it was hardly a secret what his intentions were. So acting surprised and jealous seemed way out of line. But there Dani was, stalking them like a jealous exgirlfriend. Which she hadn't been. Not really. He frowned as he followed Kaylie into the fun house, catching a flash of blond hair behind them. He could tell she’d been crying.

             
Damn it.

             
Thankfully Jack and Donahue were with them at the moment. He jerked his head backwards and whispered.

             
"Get rid of her."

             
Jack was gone in an instant, leaving Donahue to trail them through the fun house. Kaylie was laughing as a clown jumped out at them. He slipped his arm around her and used the scare as an opportunity to kiss her neck.

             
Hmmmm… he was going to have a hard time waiting to take her. Even if he knew he'd have her in his bed within the hour, it would be a painful wait. But he had promised himself (and her mother in less explicit terms) that he wouldn't take her for at least a week. She deserved that at the very least. She was a complete innocent as far as he could tell. He had to make sure that she was sure before he convinced her to lay down with him. That part would be easy. Getting his body to hold off for release was something else entirely.

             
He could ease into it though, take things a bit farther every night. He grinned at the thought, planning explicitly what he would do each night, and where. Only five more nights to go.

**********

              Kaylie inhaled as Devlin's hand closed over her breast. They were on the swing in the playground across the street from her house, hidden from view from the high fence. They'd been kissing for a half hour at least when he started sliding his hands over her body, getting more and more intimate with each pass.

             
She was surprisingly relaxed about kissing Devlin. He still made her head spin, but she wasn't terrified of doing it wrong, like she had been the first few times. She swirled her tongue against his playfully, eliciting a low growl from his throat. She was starting to get used to his sounds. He made the sexiest little noises when he was kissing her. And now that his hands were wandering his breathing was getting raspy.

             
His hand disappeared and a finger replaced it, tracing the outline of her nipple which was poking through her bikini and thin cotton top. Her sweater must have fallen off… or more likely, he had pushed it off to get better access to her. A strange feeling was coursing through her body, centering in between her legs. This was more intense than the other times. He wasn't being playful now. He was serious.

             
She gasped as he pinched her nipple lightly. He laughed throatily, resting his forehead on hers.

             
"Oh so you like that do you?"

             
She didn't trust herself to speak while he traced the collar of her blouse, dipping his finger inside to pull on her bikini strap. His other hand reached around her and pulled her tightly against him. Against the burning heat of his erection.

             
Oh god...

             
He pulled her top down and to the side, then pushed the triangle of her bikini top covering her breast aside. Suddenly she was completely bare to him. He moaned and lowered his head to her chest, suckling her nipple lightly.

             
She felt herself slipping backwards in his embrace as her hands wound through his hair, clasping his head closer to her. He moaned and rocked his hips gently into hers rhythmically. He pulled her top down on the other side and started kissing her other breast. Now he was alternating back and forth, using his hands and tongue to tweak her nipples, driving her insane with desire.
