I manage to get out of his arms and I sit on the edge of the bed, keeping my back to him. “I don’t want to live like this,” I whisper.
“Live like what?”
I take a breath and look at him through the mirror on the wall in front of me. “My whole life I’ve had to do what my father said. No matter how malicious, how brutal, how heinous. I’ve never had choices, Zane. I was forced to do almost everything. I won’t do it anymore.”
He kneels behind me, wrapping his arms around my waist. His deep blue eyes find mine in the mirror and he kisses my head. “Babe, I’m not forcing you to do anything. I’m protecting you. There’s a huge fucking difference. But, if you want to go to your place, I will send Porter with you.” I go to interrupt, but he keeps talking. “I’m willing to bend, not fucking break. Porter goes with you or you go to my mom’s, your choice.”
He gets up and starts getting dressed. I watch him through the mirror. His light brown hair is a mess, falling into his face. The dark shadow of his unshaved face draws more attention to his full lips. The muscles on his arms flex with each move he makes. Even as his body is covered with clothes, he’s still fucking hot. His jeans fit him just right, the white tee shirt stretches across his solid chest, and when he slides his cut on, I feel my panties getting wet. The black leather with his club symbol on it, has always been a turn on for me. Even as a kid, I knew he would wear it with authority one day.
“You okay?” he asks, pulling me out of my thoughts.
“Yeah,” I say, standing up. I wrap my arms around him, just needing to feel him close.
As always, he doesn’t disappoint. He squeezes me tight, making me relax. “You sure?” he whispers, kissing the soft spot below my ear.
“Yeah, I’m sure,” I say, feeling like maybe for the first time, I might actually be.
Chapter 13
Zane
Harper walks in Souls with Porter. I nod to him as he heads over to the bar. She walks toward me and my dick presses against my zipper. Her normal jeans and black shirt are gone, replaced by a short black skirt and a red shirt that dips low in the front showing off her great tits. She’s got boots on that hit just below her knees, her hair is curled, and I notice the heavy makeup when she gets closer.
I waste no time, grabbing her and slamming my mouth on hers. She moans when my tongue tangles with hers. Her hands run down my back and push into my back pockets. I growl when she pulls me harder against her.
“Damn, is this a free show or do I need to pay?” Kace laughs.
We laugh and pull apart, but I keep my arms around her. Everyone here will know she’s mine.
“How much you willing to pay?” Harper jokes.
“Not enough,” I reply.
Kace laughs and tips back his beer. “If I don’t get fucked tonight, I might need to pay to watch.”
I slap his chest and grin. “Not a fucking chance you’re seeing my girl.”
“Hey, you were cool with a chick seeing me,” Harper says, looking up at me with lust in her eyes.
I move my mouth to her ear, nipping it. “I’m still good with that, babe. Girl on girl is fucking hot.”
She squeezes her legs together and I’m ready to drag her to my room and help relieve that building pressure.
“Hey, Harper, how are you sweetheart?” Riley asks, kissing her cheek.
“I’m good, how about you?”
I leave her to talk with Kace and Riley while I go get us some drinks. Finn gets them immediately, he knows better than to make me wait. I lean against the bar and watch though. Harper is talking with most everyone now. She’s laughing as they continue to talk. I fucking like that they are treating her as they should. I watch as Brooks and Enzo come out, Enzo nodding at Brooks. I still feel like they are hiding something, but I don’t fucking know what.
Brooks gets up on stage and I make my way back over to Harper. We both do a shot and I hand her, her beer.
“Before the night gets going, I wanted to take a minute to say I’m fucking proud of what we have. We’ve busted our asses to get here and now we’ll have a second location.” Everyone cheers and he grins. “Everyone in the room is family, Souls family. I love you all. Now let’s get fucked up.”
The party picks up and the crowd is huge. There’s dancing, drinking, smoking, and tits everywhere. The Souls girls are enjoying all the attention, just as much as all the men here are getting off on watching them. It’s been a while since we had a party like this, having more than just Shattered Souls here.
The laughter around me breaks me from my thoughts. I focus back on Kace, Riley, Porter, and Alex, my arms tightening around Harper, who’s on my lap.
“Harper, you seriously just need to leave Z and get with a real man,” Porter says, with a wicked grin.
