Coveted (Charming Bastards MC Book 2) Page 4

  He slipped his hand between their bodies and rubbed her clit. Scarlett’s nails dug into his shoulders as she rocked against him. He wanted to give her this. He wanted to watch her let go. He kissed her neck while one hand gripped her ass and the other drove her pleasure higher. And when she finally let go, Joker wanted to roar with pride.

  Scarlett clung to him, locking her legs and arms around him. He smoothed his hands along her ass and backed away from the wall and into the spray.

  “You look smug.” Scarlett narrowed her eyes.

  He grinned. “Maybe a little.”

  He kissed her. Scarlett combed her fingers through his hair. He loved her hands on him. Women had never affected him like Scarlett. He couldn’t figure it out but he liked it.

  “You’re so bad.” She unlinked her ankles and reached for the body wash.

  He pushed her wet hair back. “You say that like it’s a revelation.”

  She smiled. “I didn’t expect any less from you, I suppose. You are male.”

  He watched while she lathered soap on her body, half amused that she took showering literal. It was refreshing to see someone that still had a bit of innocence left. It also made him think about the kind of women that he had hung around. They fought for his attention. Lauren damn near begged him. And Scarlett stood before him in the shower after the orgasm he gave her washing her body like nothing had happened.

  “What do you do for fun?” Joker took the body wash and smeared it on his own body.

  “Read.” She glanced up at him. “I’m really into this magnificent book that I found randomly in the library. It’s about an alternate universe.”

  He couldn’t really relate to that. Joker traded spots with her so that he could wash the suds off. He’d never really had to try to work for a woman’s attention before. He knew she wasn’t indifferent to him, but he didn’t know how to connect with her either.

  “I want to take you for a ride on my motorcycle sometime. Will you go with me?”

  She grinned. “Yes.”

  Her smile nearly took his breath away and need slammed into him hard. After he turned the faucet off, he opened the door and lifted her out of the shower. Dripping wet, he walked her to the bed and laid her on it. She stared up at him, wide-eyed. Condoms sat beside the bed and he grabbed one, quickly rolling it on.

  Scarlett sucked in a breath, staring at him. “So we’re doing this?”

  “We’re doing this.” He pushed her legs apart and fit himself between them. Every part of her demanded his attention and he debated on what he wanted to do first. Her pussy was tempting and welcoming, rubbing against him as he moved over her, kissing her neck and her chin.

  “Has anyone ever fucked you in the ass?” He pulled back briefly to stare into her eyes.

  “No. Never.” She looked like she opposed it, but it could have simply been shock from his blunt question.

  He leaned forward to lap at her nipple. He loved watching the tiny bud harden. “It’ll happen eventually. I’m going to give you new experiences. I’m going to make the bad ones good too.”

  He met her eyes. “Where do you want me to start?” His finger slipped inside her. “Do you want my mouth or my cock here?”

  She licked her lips. “Both.”

  He laughed. “Greedy, greedy.”

  Moving down her body, he knelt between her legs. He couldn’t really blame her. He was so fucking needy too and damn if he didn’t want all of her at once. Her smooth pussy lips were wet with her moisture. He held her open and circled her clit with his tongue. Scarlett lifted her hips off the mattress in reaction, gasping as he licked her slit. Everything about her went straight to his head. So much about sex in the past had been him getting off. He’d fooled around plenty but having Scarlett laid out before him had him regretting every single one of those fucks. God, he couldn’t explain how much he wanted her. He was possessive and needy. Desperate even to feel her wrapped around him.

  He lifted his head and she whimpered. “Go back. Please go back.”

  “We’ll do more of that later, baby. I need to be inside you or this party is going to end right now.” He moved to the side and grabbed some rope to wrap around the majority of her arms. He made a figure eight around her breasts with it, pulling it snug enough to cause minor pain before attaching the rope to the headboard. The notion completely bound her upper body, limiting her movement. He leaned forward and lapped at her hard nipples. “God, you’re so fucking hot. I love your tits like this.”

  He shifted slightly and pressed his cock against her opening. Easing into her, he held his breath as her pussy clutched around him. She was tight. Everything about her was small and delicate compared to him. He watched her face, stared into her eyes as he pushed inside her. He felt on fire. His cock pressed deeper inside her body and he gritted his teeth, grimacing at the pleasure of simply being surrounded by her. His stomach clenched as he pumped inside her, short little strokes that had his balls drawing up tight. He was in complete agony. It felt so fucking good.

  Her heels pressed into his ass as he pumped inside her, making each delicious stroke more difficult than the first. If he didn’t watch it, he’d lose all control inside her. He’d back out on his promise and it’d make him feel like shit. His moved harder, deeper inside her. Scarlett gave as good as she got. Her hips lifted with his thrusts and she clutched the sheets next to her, bowing her back as he hit that one spot. He rubbed it over and over with his cock, pounding into her until she gasped, and writhed, twisting beneath him.

  Then she let go. Her lips parted and his name followed. She jerked and arched off the mattress as her orgasm raced through her. She looked so fucking gorgeous as she took the pleasure he gave her. He couldn’t have stopped his orgasm if he tried. The furious release had him straining, his cock damn near pounding with the intensity. He felt the hot cum spurt from the tip into the rubber. He collapsed on top of her, rolling gently to the side so he didn’t crush her with his weight. Both were spent. Sweat slicked their bodies and it took all the effort he had to sit up and take care of the condom and the rope. Hell, he was still hard, and with damn good reason.

  Scarlett opened her eyes and stared at him. “I didn’t know sex could be that good.”

  He blew out a breath and honestly replied, “Me either.”

  Chapter Five

  Joker got up when Scarlett did just so he could see her before she left. He opted to take a shower with her and convinced her to fool around some though it took a lot of effort. Once her mind was set, there was not much he could do to change it. In the mornings she was focused on school and not much else. He gave her his gray Nirvana shirt to wear just because he wanted to see it on her. She opted for tight jeans that hugged her body like a glove. His cock took note and responded accordingly. She looked like some cute redheaded rocker.

  It was difficult to say goodbye to her, but after kissing her a few times he finally backed away from the car and let her leave.

  “You two are disgusting.” Tank flicked his cigarette to the ground and stepped on it. “Like high school lovebirds. I don’t think I’ve ever seen you act that way with a woman. You sure as hell don’t act that way with Lauren.”

  Joker ran a hand over his head. “Don’t compare her to Lauren. I never had feelings for Lauren and everyone knows that.”

  “And you have feelings for Scarlett?”

  “Fuck yeah I do.” Joker sat on a stool inside the garage.

  Tank grinned at him. “Shit. I never thought I’d see the day.”

  “Me either.”

  Joker never wanted one woman in his life. He never wanted to settle down, commit. Part of the Charming Bastards lifestyle was partying, women, and drugs. Hell, he used to do a line of coke off one of the women’s ass just because he fucking could.

  That had been a while back though. Drugs had always been for fun. And he quit using them when he saw what hell Torque went through just to get sober. What hell any of them went through just so they could function prope
rly again.

  “Yeah, but it’s just good pussy right?” Dooby asked. It was rare that he wore his black-framed glasses, but for some reason, he had them on today.

  “She’s good everything.” Joker smiled at his friends. “I think Silver’s rubbed off on me.”

  The men chuckled. “God help us if he has.”

  “Hey,” Torque came out of the club and headed toward the garage. “We got a lead on Marrow. He’s been hiding out at some junky hotel on the outskirts of the city. I think it’s time we pay him a little visit, boys.”

  Joker stood. “Been looking forward to it for a while.”

  They got on their motorcycles and rode out of the parking lot toward the main highway. Joker wanted to kick the son of a bitch’s ass for doing what he did to Scarlett and he was pretty fucking sure that he would enjoy it too much. Torque led them to the outskirts of the city to some rotting dump of a motel that had seen better days. He was pretty sure that it was a drug nest and skanky whores stood all around trying to get some business. Torque led them to the far side of the building and the kid they were after spotted them and took off running.

  In that moment, Joker wished he didn’t smoke so fucking much. Wheezing, he followed him through the fucking woods surrounding the motel and into the trailer park behind. He was pretty fucking sure one of the guys would at least head him off soon, before his fucking lungs burst. The kid tripped and Joker gained some distance on him. He may have run track in high school but that was a fucking long time ago. Joker got close enough to grab the back of the kid’s shirt and took him down to the ground in a roll.

  But the kid wasn’t going down without a fight. Fists started flying as he tried to gain the upper hand over Joker. It’d been a while since he’d been in a good fist fight and Joker felt some of the tension inside him release as he fought with the punk. The rolled around on the ground and at a distance he could hear the roar of the motorcycles. Joker rose up over the kid and punched him with one good swing. Blood squirted everywhere.

  “Don’t kill him yet,” Torque commented coming up behind him. Torque dragged him off the kid and Joker spit to the side.

  “I didn’t do anything to you.” The kid remarked. “You’re the ones destroying this city with your drugs.”

  “Oh, we’re destroying?” Joker came up behind Torque. “What about Scarlett? I suppose that’s us too? You had nothing to do with injecting heroin into her veins and dumping her on the fucking side of the road naked?”

  The kid sat up and wiped the blood from his mouth. “She asked for it.”

  Joker went for him again and Tank grabbed him, holding him back. “Ease up, man.”

  The kid stared at him in wonder. “She used that shit for weeks before she was so fucking strung out that she didn’t know where the hell she was. Begged me for it when she couldn’t get it off the streets. I couldn’t keep her off my dick even though I didn’t have drugs to give her.”

  Joker broke free from Tank’s hold and went after the kid. The sick bastard just laughed. It took nearly all the men to get Joker away from him and when they did, Tank forced him back.

  “Let Torque handle it.” Tank pushed him toward the motel. “You killing him isn’t going to look good in your girlfriend’s eyes.”

  “He was fucking lying. Scarlett didn’t ask for that shit he put her through.”

  Tank sighed. “He said it to egg you on.”

  Joker shook his head still pissed at the kid. He wanted punch his face in. He walked all the way back to this motorcycle with Tank. Once he straddled the bike, he stared at his friend.

  “What’s Torque going to do?”

  Tank rubbed his hands together. “He thinks Marrow is part of something else. He wants to follow the lead and see where it goes.”

  He didn’t think it went anywhere. Scarlett said it was all for a report. This stupid fucker didn’t look like he was a mole or something bigger for someone else. He didn’t think Scarlett was part of it either.

  He started his motorcycle. “I’m going to find Scarlett.”

  Tank blew out a breath. “Can you be careful with her? We still don’t know much about the situation, but I don’t want you getting involved with someone that could be bad for everyone.”

  “What are you saying?”

  Tank was built like a bulldozer and mean as a pit bull. “Watch your fucking ass.”

  Joker backed out of his spot and turned around. So his club didn’t trust his girlfriend. He didn’t know what to think about that. He trusted her. He didn’t see why his club didn’t.

  He went to campus and found the psychology building. Scarlett walked out just as he drove by. Her arms were full of books and he imagined that her bag was too. He couldn’t help wondering if she had kinky books or stuff for her paper.

  He parked out front and got off the bike. She walked toward him and smiled when she recognized him. “What are you doing here?”

  “I wanted to see you.” He leaned in and kissed her. “What are all these books for?”

  “Class.” She walked over to a bench and sat them on it. “I’m working on my stupid paper. I’ll probably be back at the club around five. I wanted to use some of the library’s databases for some work.”

  Joker blew out a breath. “I need to know something.”

  “What?”

  “Did you fuck Marrow?”

  Her eyes widened. “No. God no. Why would you think that?”

  He rubbed his forehead. “He said that you fucked him for drugs.”

  She snorted. “He did, huh.” She shook her head. “And you believed him?”

  “My club did. They think you and him are working with one of our enemies to get to us.”

  “Unbelievable.” She turned slightly. “I didn’t do anything wrong. I went to his house that night and woke up in your parking lot. I—” She stopped and brought her hand to her mouth.

  “What?”

  She shook her head and sat on the bench. Joker watched her. She knew something. He was fairly certain that it was important too.

  “Tell me what you know.”

  Scarlett wouldn’t look him in the eye. “He got the drugs from Eddy Grier.”

  Joker arched an eyebrow at her. Eddy Grier was the son of the Reaper Boys MC president, Matthias Grier. A well known enemy of the Charming Bastards and definitely someone they had to play nice with for peace. “How do you know that?”

  She glanced around. “He came over to Ollie’s house that night. They wanted to party and I wanted to do my work. I went to the bathroom and Eddy followed me. He didn’t really do anything but he made me feel uneasy. I got rid of him long enough to use the bathroom and when I was through he was determined to do more.”

  Joker felt his blood pressure rising. “Do I want to know how this story ends?”

  “I don’t know how it ends. I felt something poke me and I asked him about it and he ignored me. My memories grew fuzzy after that.”

  Joker blew out a breath. “Do you think he did something to you?”

  “He gave me drugs against my will and left me naked on your doorstep. I wouldn’t put anything past him.”

  He rubbed a hand over his face. “Come here.”

  He pulled her up and wrapped his arms around her. Having her in his arms made everything better even as shitty as things were. He breathed in the scent of her hair. She felt good against him. Scarlett gripped his shirt and held on.

  “I don’t feel safe.” Scarlett whispered the words and each one felt like a knife to his gut.

  “I’ve got you, baby.” He kissed her forehead. “You’re safe with me. I’m not going to let anyone hurt you. I can promise you that.”

  He cupped her cheeks and leaned in to kiss her. He would protect her and keep her safe. Joker didn’t want to let her go. He knew perfectly well he had to pull away from her and get back on his bike to meet up with the guys. His damn phone had been vibrating against his leg for nearly the entire time he talked with Scarlett. But he didn’t want to. He
wanted a few more minutes with her. A few more minutes of simply not being in the real world and just being with Scarlett.

  “Will you help me to my car with these books?” Scarlett asked, pulling away from him. “I can do it on my own, but I want you to walk with me.”

  He bent to collect most of the books while she grabbed her bag. He let her lead the way to her car and waited while she unlocked it and then popped the trunk. He put the books in and reached for her bag.

  “Where are you going? Class? Library?”

  “The public library.”

  “Be careful. You don’t have any reason to be scared, but be observant of anything abnormal. If you need me, call me.” He leaned in to kiss her. “I’ll see you later, baby.”

  Joker waited for her to get in her car. He watched as she backed out of the parking spot and left. He didn’t know what her involvement with Eddy Grier meant but he figured it wasn’t going to be something good when he told Torque.

  ****

  Scarlet spent the entire afternoon in the library. She got the majority of her paper done and closed her laptop. She didn’t even realize what time it was. She glanced out the window and saw the sun about to set. She blew out a breath and grabbed her stuff to leave. She really wanted to take a warm bubble bath and ease the tension from the day. She tried to push aside the thought of Eddy potentially doing something inappropriate to her. Every time she thought about it, she wanted to puke. She didn’t remember anything and that was probably a good thing. The thought simply made her feel grimy and uncomfortable.

  Her phone beeped and she grabbed it from the table. A quick glance at the screen and she saw the text was from Ollie. Don’t tell the MC about Eddy.

  Scarlett frowned and typed back. Why?

  She stared at her phone and waited several minutes before he finally responded. You’ll be sorry.
