It looked like Duke was going to get to his feet but Kick beat him to it. “I’ll give you a hand.” Putting his hand just above her ass, he led her back to the bar. She ignored Kick’s hand and kept repeating their orders in her head. She didn’t need to fuck this up and the way her head was cloudy with Duke, she was bound to get it wrong if she didn’t concentrate.
Duke
He’d never had a problem with Kick, yet he was ready to beat the fucker black and blue when he touched Nicole. He sensed her as soon as he came in and had been watching her smiling and talking with the Musketeers. Her hair was back now and it showed off her long slender neck that he wanted to mark up with nips from his teeth. He could have watched her for hours, it was like she put him in a trance. She had an innate grace moving behind the bar, serving his brothers. He needed to sort his head and his dick out before he ruined his pants and had a mental breakdown.
When her eyes met his, he saw the heat flare within them and his cock wept in response. He couldn’t wait to see the same heat looking up at him as he thrust his dick into her mouth. Fuck, his balls were starting to hurt now.
Shel broke his fantasy by talking about Nicole to Prez. “She seems like an ok bitch. I know you said she’s guarded, honey, and with a father like hers who wouldn’t be? Her eyes are amazing. Can’t even get that colour with contacts. I think Duke’s noticed that as well. Or maybe it wasn’t her eyes he noticed.” She giggled and winked at him. “She doesn’t strike me as a slut or someone who’d share it about. She seems to know what’s expected.”
Prez looked at her like she was a little bit crazy. “You got all that from the two fucking seconds she was over here? I’ll never understand bitches.”
“She knows what’s what. I don’t trust her Dad as far as I can spit but she seems sound.” Duke added.
“Now my VP’s thinking with his dick.” He muttered. “It’s all an act. She’s been here two days and only been awake for one of them. She don’t know nothin’. Not bothered anyway so long as she does what’s expected and stays outta my way.”
“You know she spent time with Riot?” Duke wouldn’t hold back with Reaper, he was their president and the brotherhood came first.
“What?” Prez looked pissed, he obviously hadn’t known. It was something Nole should have divulged when he offered her up as collateral. The fact that he didn’t was going to send a lot of shit his way.
“Yeah, she was open about it. Spent three weeks with them. Got the impression she’d sooner chop off her arm than go back.” He recalled the slight fear that momentarily dulled her eyes.
“Holy fuck! Do they know she’s here?” Prez was getting riled. He spoke through gritted teeth.
Duke knew that if Wrath found out they had her secured in their compound he’d recognise what a danger it posed for Riot. That prick was a stupid hot-head and would think she’d been a spy for Fallen, he’d start a war to get her back. All bikers took retribution seriously. Not that Fallen wouldn’t take advantage of the information that had presented itself to them so conveniently.
“Doubt it. They’d fucking kill Fletcher if they knew. He ain’t going to disclose his deal with us. No way Riot would leave him walking if they found out. Fuckers can’t have a clue she’s here.” Everyone nodded, agreeing with his assessment.
He watched Nicole and Kick cross the room with their drinks. Shel told her to sit with them for a bit. Kick pushed into the booth next to her, resting his arm on the top of the booth behind her. She’d paled slightly at the invitation and was jittery in her movements. His hands were in tight fists, he wanted to knock Kick the fuck out and pull her onto his lap. He tried to snap himself out of his train of thought. He needed distance for club business, to look at issues from all sides, rationally. At the moment all he could think was blowing up everyone at Riot MC to keep her safe and burying Kick for being so close to her. This new need to possess and protect was starting to grind on him. She’s pussy, that’s all.
He knew she wouldn’t be happy that he’d shared with Prez, but the club came first. Always. If she was going to survive here she’d have to find a way to deal with it and deal with it fast. He wasn’t a patient man and wanted her out of those clothes sooner rather than later and that wouldn’t happen if she was pissed with him. His breathing sped up as he thought of pleasurable ways to persuade her.
Chapter four
Nicole
There wasn’t one part of her body that wasn’t rigid with tension. She had no idea why she’s been asked to join the group. In her experience, this wasn’t normal. She looked at Shel and thought she looked really attractive. She was slim with big brown eyes and streaked blonde hair put up into a messy bun. She appeared shrewd, friendly and approachable. She didn’t look that way when one of the club sluts drifted close to their table, her face pulled into a snarl. Clearly, Shel wasn’t a fan of their presence. Nicole glanced at Prez, who was looking at her sternly. This couldn’t be good.
“Duke, here, tells me you spent three weeks with Riot.” She felt a wave of betrayal knock the air from her lungs. Why had he said anything? Fair enough, Duke had never said he wouldn’t tell anyone but she thought he’d understood her reluctance. This wasn’t her chosen life and she didn’t want to be dragged into a war that wasn’t hers to fight. She knew lying wasn’t an option and that she would be made to answer if she refused. She dreaded to think what that could involve.
