He hung up the phoneand mentally kicked himself. This had to be his secret or the boys would callhim pussy-whipped. He felt like a love-sick teenager, but there was no doubt hehad to see Ally. Last night, in bed alone, he’d had too much time with his ownthoughts. He needed her by his side. She was healing. Innocent. She chased awayhis demons without even realizing it.
Now he’d promisedhimself as much as her that they’d be together within the hour. No backing outnow. He was an idiot, always taking risks to be with Ally.
Lord headed out tohis bike. The sky was clear, the sun reflecting off the chrome. This would be ashort and sweet trip. He’d be back long before they had to get ready fortonight. Seeing her would give him enough peace until he had her back at theclub again.
He kicked his biketo life, the purr stirring his body. Reaper approached him before he could escapeunseen. “You need someone to ride with you?”
“Not this time. Iwon’t be long.”
His enforcerraised a brow. “You’re seeing her, aren’t you?”
He revved hisengine. “Rally the men as we planned. I’ll be back in time.” Then he rode offwithout further explanation.
He didn’t understandwhy Rancher would leave the club. Lord didn’t understand love. Couldn’t understandsacrificing everything for one woman.
Now he knewexactly what his old friend had gone through.
He craved the samething with Ally, only he couldn’t give up his club. Lord needed to find a balancebetween the two, and the biggest obstacle would be keeping Ally safe. In hisworld, enemies sought out weaknesses. The greatest target was a loved one. Theycould be used against you, make you weak. Lord had done the same thing for manyof his enemies. Ally was in his life for this reason alone. He wanted to makeher father suffer, to exact revenge for his lack of loyalty. Now he had toprotect her from men just like himself.
The lane was unpaved,so he slowed down his bike as he neared Rancher’s back gate. Just the anticipationof seeing Ally make his cock stir in his jeans.
He hoped she wasthere waiting for him.
He needed her.
There wereovergrown trees in the way, so he couldn’t see if she wasnear the gate. As he pulled closer, he noticed her outline in the shadow of anew outbuilding that hadn’t been there before.
He parked next tothe shed and cut his engine.
It had only beentwenty-four hours. He shouldn’t crave her this much. It felt like she’d beenaway from him for weeks or months, not hours.
Lord braced an armon the low split rail fence and hopped over. He approached her, slowly, cautiously.
“You came.”
“It’s okay, Ally.I wasn’t stupid enough to come straight here. I wasn’t followed.”
“That’s not what Imean.”
He cupped her faceand kissed her. It felt like their first kiss all over again—deepand addicting. She tasted sweet and he wanted more.
“I couldn’t keep away,”he whispered against her lips.
“Good.”
He wrapped an armaround her, pulling her flush to his body. Her soft curves pressed against hishardness.
“They treating you right here?” he asked
She nodded, toyingwith the buttons on his cut.
“You behavingyourself? Keeping safe?”
“I want to come home,”she said.
His insecuritiesmust run deep. “Where’s home?”
She scowled, alook of confusion on her face. “With you. At the club.”
He exhaled. Thatwas exactly what he wanted to hear. When she used to talk about leaving or returningto her old life, it made him anxious because he couldn’t lose her. He was keepingher regardless, but knowing it was her choice to stay was the ultimate high.
“I want you theretoo. Tonight, we’re riding out, cleaning up some shit.”
“Will it bedangerous?”
“Don’t worry aboutme, Ally. I’m invincible, remember?”
“You’re not.” She ranher fingertips along the scar beside his blind eye. Normally, a touch like thatwould make him see red. She broke down all his barriers.
He kissed her hardon the mouth, walking her backward until she was pinned to the new shed. Lordraked his fingers into the hair behind her neck, holding her in place as theykissed. With his free hand, he reached low between them to see if she’dfollowed his instructions.
Her pussy was niceand smooth, no panties in his way. He impaled two fingers hard into her cunt and she gasped into his mouth. “Do you like that?” Hiswords sounded rough, like a man on the edge. He felt like a fuckingman out of prison for the first time in twenty years.
“Yes.” Shebreathed the words, barely above a whisper. “I want you inside me.”
Ally was playing withfire. She had no idea how pent-up he felt.
He unbuckled and attemptedto get his jeans open, but her little hands were there trying to help,hindering his progress. By the time he released his cock, he groaned withrelief. She wrapped her hand possessively around his length.
Lord grabbed herwrist to stop her. “I’m too far gone for that, baby.” He hoisted her up againstthe building, immediately seeking out her entrance. She was wet, so he easilyimpaled her to the hilt. She cried out, squeezing his shoulders, and he rammedinto her hard and fast. Her tight little pussy felt like heaven wrapped aroundhis dick.
“Oh, God, Lord.That feels so good.”
“You’re all mine,Ally. Mine to fuck. Mine to keep.”
“Yes, I’m yours.”She wrapped her arms around his neck as he began to thrust inside her. He feltwhole having her in his grasp.
“Take it all,baby.” He fucked her deep, holding each thigh justunder her ass.
“Give it to me.”
****
Each time Lord thrustinside her, he rubbed against her clit. Over and over,the stimulation had her close to orgasm. As she’d waited alone near the backgate, the drone of crickets her only company, her mind had been a whirlwind ofthoughts and desires. She could already feel him, smell him, and once she sawhim ride up on his Harley, her pussy throbbed in anticipation.
He was hereverything.
Once her captor,now her only love.
His big, hard bodymade her feel safe. The scent of his cologne mixed with the leather of his cut wasunique to him. As their bodies molded together, his cock connecting them intimately,she felt whole. She didn’t want to live a life without Lord. Looking back, shewasn’t even sure how she
