“You wouldn’t mind if I shared a tent with Fuse?”
His jaw clenched as he shrugged. “Not at all.”
“What about one of the guys from another club?” I eyed the long line of bikers pulling into the campground. There had to be at least fifty gathered by the building, with more pouring in every second.
Bison turned toward me and planted his hands on my hips. My momentary shock gave way to a deep ache that pulsed between my legs. “Look, Princess, we both know this is going to happen between us. It’s just a matter of how long you want the foreplay to last.”

BISON
She could have pushed me away, but she didn’t. I had a feeling my curvy princess liked the feeling of my cock pressed against her belly. From the first time I’d set eyes on her, I knew she was meant to be mine. I also knew she had no business trying to satisfy herself with some pink rubbery toy. Not when I was willing to give her exactly what she needed.
“Someone’s pretty sure of himself.”
I moved my hands around to cup her incredible ass and pulled her hips even closer. “Someone’s pretty horny.”
She bit down on her lip. “I’m not in a position to get involved. There’s stuff you don’t know about me.”
“Then tell me.” I reached up and brushed a few stray strands of hair away from her face. A deep need pulsed between us, but I wanted to hear what she had to tell me before I gave in.
“It’s complicated.” Priscilla took a step back, breaking contact with my cock.
Fuck, I wanted to feel her up against me. But first, I needed her to know that whatever was bugging her, she had me in her corner now.
“I can handle complicated, Princess.” Twining my fingers with hers, I tugged her back down to the rock. Her legs stretched out in front of her, and I straddled her thighs with mine, pulling her back until she leaned against my chest. “Tell me what’s going on.”
She sighed, like the weight of the world rested on her fragile shoulders. “I don’t even know where to start.”
“Start at the beginning, sweetheart.” I ran my fingers up and down her arm and waited.
“It’s my ex. I started working in the accounting department at his company a few years out of college. We got… um… close… and started seeing each other.”
The thought of her with another man made my pulse spike, but I pressed a kiss against her neck and let her sweet, sweet scent calm me. “Go on.”
“He started trusting me with more responsibility until I was the only one he’d let handle his accounts. Then he got more possessive, more controlling. I wanted out, but I was in too deep.”
“Did he hurt you, Priscilla?” Rage boiled inside me, looking for an excuse to unleash on anyone who’d mistreated her.
“Not physically. But he started telling me what to wear, who I could hang out with, wanted to know where I was at all times. He told me if I left him, he’d hurt himself. As much as I wanted to get away, I was trapped.” She tucked her chin against her chest.
“It’s okay, Princess. I’m here now. I won’t let anyone hurt you.”
Her hand tightened on my arm. “I found out he was laundering money. He doesn’t know I was the one who turned him in, but it’s only a matter of time before he figures it out.”
“How did you get away from him?”
“I told him my grandma was sick, and I needed to go take care of her. She’s in a state home near Broken Bend, but he thinks she’s in California. I know he’s looking for me and he’s got some powerful friends. The Feds offered to put me in a witness protection program, but I wouldn’t have been able to visit my grandma. I’m the only family she has left.”
“Is that where you’ve been going at lunchtime every day?” Pieces of the puzzle started to click into place. I’d spent the last couple of weeks feeling like Priscilla thought she was better than all of us. She’d only been keeping her distance to protect herself. I wrapped my arms tight around her and rested my chin on her shoulder.
“Yes. I’m waiting for the investigator to take him into custody so I can collect the reward. Once I get that, I can move my grandma somewhere nicer.”
My heart—at least what was left of it—cracked open at the hurt in her voice. “I’ve got you now, Princess. We’ll figure this out.”
“I can’t pull you into the crap going on in my life.” She twisted around in my arms. “I appreciate the offer, but I don’t know how long I’ll be here. If he finds me before they have enough evidence to lock him up…”
“Then he’ll have to deal with me.” I shifted, pulling her onto my lap, then cupping her cheeks with my palms. “Let me take care of you, Pris.”
