CASH

Darcy strips out of her clothes when I shut the door back to our bedroom. She has spent the last ten hours with me at the bar. With everything that happened with Jaycee, I would’ve been shorthanded. Darcy, being the amazing fiancée she is, gave me a helping hand.

The phone rang so much; I left it off the hook for an hour so we could catch up on orders. Around quitting time, things finally started to slow down.

What do you think of taking a shower with me? Darcy asks.

She runs her hands down my stomach and stops to unbutton my jeans. I put my lips against hers and cup her ass in my hands. I didn’t have plans to do anything else.

I pull off my jeans and boxers, then follow her into the bathroom. She bends over to turn on the shower. The round curve of her ass begs for my touch. I squeeze her ass and kiss the back of her neck. Babe, I’ve been looking forward to this all day, she says.

I take the hair bow out of her hair and run my tongue across her ear. You and me both. I wanted to lock us both in the office.

She steps away from me and gets into the shower. You should have. I wouldn’t have had any complaints about that.

I step underneath the shower just enough so I can get my hair wet. You have no idea how much you saved my ass today. I mean it when I say I couldn’t have made it without you.

She grins real big. I love you and wouldn’t dare leave you shorthanded. It helped knowing I was going to get a reward from you as soon as we got home.

I lather soap on the washcloth and rub it across her chest. Her breasts are the perfect size. She’s a C-cup, and they complement her slender body well. I get down on my knees and part her legs. This is what I’ve been dying to do all day. She tastes so fucking good, and I need a taste. I slip my tongue inside of her, and moans escape her mouth. I run my tongue along her clit and suck. Her legs shake, and I move my tongue fast inside of her until she screams.

The best thing about this is we’re just getting started.

Babe, I need you inside me. Darcy runs her hands through my hair.

I pick her up and push her against the shower stall. She wraps her arms around my neck, pulling me closer to her. I press my erection inside her and move inside of her, going deeper with each stroke. A low growl erupts from my mouth when she rubs my balls with her hands.Baby, you’re absolutely killing me, I say.

I set her down, and my teeth clamp onto her breast. I suck and run my tongue across the skin. It’s red and is definitely going to leave a hickey. She reaches down and turns off the shower. I want on top of you, she replies.

The two of us make our way into the bedroom, and I have a seat on the bed. She straddles me and rocks her hips back and forth. I gaze into her eyes, and she grins back at me. You know how much I love this position, I say.

She grabs ahold of my hand and kisses it. I know you do. It’s my favorite position too. I get to gaze into your soul. Nothing will ever get better than that.

I give her a passionate kiss, and she presses her tongue into my mouth. I run my hands across her back as she gives herself to me. Our bodies work together to keep a steady pace. She arches her back, and I cum inside of her. Baby, that was fucking incredible.

She kisses my cheek. I love you so much.

I press my lips against hers in a quick kiss. I love you too, baby.

There’s an abrupt knock on the door, and I roll my eyes. So much for the two of us cuddling.

Cash, I’m going to get straight to the point. It’s Tommy. Jamie just called, and he spotted Hank in Sweetheart Bay.

This is the best news I’ve heard all night. Darcy was attacked by Hank Friday night. We’ve been looking for him ever since then. Now we’ve finally found him in Sweetheart Bay. Were they able to get him?

Darcy gets off of me and puts on some clothes. She brushes out her tangled hair and winds it up in a ponytail.

I’m afraid not. He spotted one of our guys and took off running. We weren’t able to catch him. I’ll be waiting in the kitchen when you come out.

Thank you for letting me know, I say, getting out of bed.

I already told the guys what’s going on. Tommy, the president of a charter in Sweetheart Bay and one of my truest friends, replies. Bryce, Slash, and Martin should be here any minute.

Darcy plants a kiss on my back and then wraps her hands around my waist. Does this mean we’re going to Sweetheart Bay?

I get out a pair of boxers and step into them. Yes, sweetheart, we’re going to Sweetheart Bay.

How long do you think we’re going to stay?

I pull on a plain black shirt and jeans. I can’t be certain. Maybe a couple of days.

I’ll get us packed up and ready to go.

It’s almost as if she read my mind.

I give her a peck on the lips before going out the door.

I’ve killed every single fucking person involved in Darcy’s assault, except for Hank. It feels fucking fantastic knowing where he resides. Sweetheart Bay is a big place, but I’m confident we’ll pinpoint his exact location. Excitement runs through my entire body. Hopefully soon, me and Darcy will be able to put this behind us.

Tommy sits at the table with a bottle of beer in his hands. He’s been drinking a lot since being in town. I don’t blame him for that. Hugh, the president of the Southern Demons, tortured him, fucking up his back. You look like you’ve had fun, Tommy replies.

I laugh. I’m sure he’s talking about the hickey on my neck. What can I say? We’re trying to make a baby.

Tommy lights a cigarette and then blows out smoke. You still haven’t sent me an invite to your wedding.

I join him at the table. Darcy and Nancy are getting everything together. They said they’d let me know once they get all the details worked out.

He nods, and his face turns serious. The Southern Demons are in Sweetheart Bay, and I’m worried about what’s going to happen. Something just doesn’t feel right about it. I can’t quite pinpoint what exactly it is.

My jaw tightens at the mention of our rivals. Unlike my motorcycle club, the Southern Demons are ruthless criminals who are involved in human trafficking rings.

If they’re back, one person comes to mind. Andy. There’s no doubt in my mind that Hugh’s still looking for her.

Has anyone talked to Trevor in a couple of days? I ask.

Trevor is the one who’s been protecting Andy.

Fuck. He slams his hand down on the table. I haven’t talked to him all day. I’m going to call him and warn him about the Southern Demons.

Slash, Bryce, and Martin pull up in the driveway. Several seconds later, they make their way inside. You ready to ride, brother? Slash has a grin on his face. Stubble is on his face where he needs to shave.

You’re damn right I am, I answer.

I see Pam heading our way from the window. Her hands are on her hips when she walks through the door. I need to talk to Darcy, so she’s riding with me.

I nod. That’s perfectly fine with me.

Pam strolls to the bedroom and knocks on the door. Darcy, I’ll be waiting for you in the car.

Okay! I’ll be out in a minute! Darcy calls.

Pam rolls her eyes when she goes past Tommy. The two of them must be arguing about something. I’ll take Darcy to her mother’s house tomorrow morning.

I didn’t think I would have to worry about that. Thank you for keeping an eye on her.

Pam pats my shoulder. It’s nice having another woman to talk to. Sometimes I need a break from all of you guys.

Darcy hurries out of the bedroom with a travel bag, a dab of make-up on her face. I got everything we need, babe.

I give her a kiss on the lips before we part ways. I’ll be there as soon as I can.

Darcy hurries out the door behind Pam.

Tommy slams his phone shut. Trevor’s not answering his fucking phone. A few of my guys are going over to check on him.

I try not to think the worst. Maybe he’s like me and just doesn’t like picking up his phone, I respond.

Tommy glares at me. It’s not like Trevor to not answer. I can’t sit here and worry myself sick about it. Let’s get going so we can see what’s going on.

I can’t think of a better plan. I’m more than ready to ride, to find Hank, and to put a bullet in his skull.

DARCY

The very first thing Pam does is roll down her window and light a cigarette. I think Tommy cheats on me when he comes down here all alone. He hasn’t touched me in months in the bedroom. I’m sorry for telling you, Darcy. It just hurts. I don’t think I can take it anymore.

Oh dear.

This isn’t anything I was expecting.

The best thing is to be honest with her. I haven’t ever seen Tommy with another woman. I’ve seen him hang out at the bar, staring at strippers. But most of the guys from the club do that.

Pam laughs and then chokes up. She hits the brakes so the car comes to a crawl. A car appears speeding down the road and lays on the horn before passing her. Fucking asshole.

I watch as the car speeds out of sight. I wonder who that was.

Pam hammers the gas pedal, and the two of us start rolling again. I don’t know and quite frankly don’t care. She takes one look at the gas tank. It’s almost on empty. I’m going to have to get gas before we get out of here.

It’s a good thing I spent time doing my make-up and covering the bruises on my neck, or I wouldn’t go into the gas station. Three scums of the earth tried to murder me by strangulation. I hate the reminders of that and don’t need people staring at me. I hope we can stay a few days. I’m wanting to spend some time with Mom, Vanessa, and Brenton.

Pam puts out her cigarette in a cup. No matter how long you’ll get to visit with them, you are going to have a great time.

I just hope things won’t be awkward between us.

The last thing I want is for us to argue. It’s something that usually ends up happening when we are together. No matter how long I stay, I want for us all to get along. That’s the one thing in this world that will make me happy.

They aren’t going to be awkward, Darcy. Pam drives into the parking lot of the gas station. You of all people should know that. Your mother is going to be happy to see you.

I’m going to be overjoyed to see her too. It’s going to do wonders, knowing this is the first step in rebuilding our relationship. Five years ago, my father passed away. I hightailed it out of Heartwood Springs and headed straight for Texas. I didn’t tell anyone about leaving, and it caused a wedge between us.

I reach for my purse sitting on the floor. There’s no way in hell I’ll ever go anywhere without a loaded gun. Me getting attacked was just a one-time thing for me. It’s never going to happen again. I’m going to use the bathroom before we get going.

Pam nods. I’ll be in there as soon as I get this car filled up.

I get out of the car and glance around the parking lot. There’s only two other cars in sight, and for a Monday night, I would think there would be more people out.
