.

All Jake wanted to do was sigh. A
sigh of relief and a sigh of something like hope. He hadn
’
t wanted to hurt anyone but
Apollo had thrust him into the fight with Ax. Plus, if he hadn
’
t knocked out Ax, Ax would have
done it to him. Then Apollo or Kami would have killed him.

“
Bathroom
’
s here,
”
Apollo said and knocked on a door.
“
Beer
’
s up front. Always on tap, always ice cold.
”

“
Got
whiskey?
”
Jake asked.

Apollo laughed.
“
You might fit in here after all.
”

Kami paused as Apollo kept going.
He stared at Jake.

I want to fuck your stepsister,
brother.

Jake kept thinking it, wanting to
see if Kami could pick up on it.

“
Where
’
d you learn to fight?
”
Kami asked.

“
Already
told you,
”
Jake said.
“
My mother
’
s boyfriends used to beat up on me. So I had to
learn.
”

“
You
don
’
t learn that kind of
skill.
”

“
I
got good at fighting and trained for a while. Had some straight fights and then
things took a turn.
”

“
So
now you want to be a biker?
”

“
Better
than being under the hood of a piece of shit car, right? Having some jack off
yell at me that the prices are too high and that the economy is shit. Why
’
s that my fucking problem?
”

“
A-fucking-men,
”
Kami said. He offered his fist.
“
A-fucking-men.
”

Jake hit fists with Kami.

Jake finally got into the bathroom
and went right for the sink. He grabbed the sides and hunched over, sighing. He
felt his stomach flip like he was going to throw up, but he held it off. He
needed to be like stone right now. From here on out. He
’
d go to the
snake pit
, win a fight, and then
he
’
d get some serious
information. If this MC was pushing into Frelen because of the cartel, it was
going to get bloody. If the cartel was running the MC and bossing them around,
it was going to get bloody.

For some reason, Keira popped into
Jake
’
s mind.

How did she fit in with all this?
Christ, if the cartel was taking down the MC, they
’
d take her and use her up. Use her as leverage.
Maybe even sell her.

It was sick to think about.

Jake turned on the water and
splashed his face. He had a gash next to his eye and the corner of mouth was
cut a little. There was dirt in the gash at his eye. Rubbing water into the
wound felt just fucking great.

As Jake groaned, he heard a soft
knock at the door.

“
What?
”
he yelled.

“
Jake?
It
’
s
…
I
’
m
Keira
…”

Jake grabbed the door and ripped it
open.

There she was, again.

Same as before, just closer now.

She held out a towel.
“
I brought you this. Do you need
help?
”

Jake didn
’
t need help. He needed to tell the woman to fuck
off. Throw her the cold shoulder and push her the hell away.

“
Yeah,
sure.
”

Smart move, man.

Keira entered the bathroom and shut
the door.
“
Does it hurt?
”

“
An
open cut on my face with dirt in it?
”
Jake asked.
“
No. It feels
great.
”

“
Yeah,
sorry.
”

Jake grabbed Keira
’
s wrist.
“
Sorry about that. It
’
s
been a long day.
”

“
I
can see that,
”
Keira said.
“
You sure about all this?
”

“
I
’
m here,
”
Jake said.
“
What
’
s there to worry about?
”

“
The
club is in danger.
”

No, no, no
…

Jake hated this part. He should
have loved it though. This woman was going to open the floodgates already.

“
How
so?
”
Jake asked.

He turned on the water and started
to wash the cut again.

“
There
’
s a cartel after the club,
”
Keira said.
“
They voted to work with them and
now the cartel is turning their back. Pushing hard and attacking.
”

Jake turned the water off. He faced
Keira.
“
How do you know I
’
m not part of them? I
’
m here for intel. And you
’
re spilling it.
”

Jake pushed at Keira, putting her
against the wall.

“
Are
you?
”
she asked.

“
No,
I
’
m not part of the cartel.
But you shouldn
’
t trust me.
You should avoid me.
”

“
I
’
m trying to warn you,
”
Keira said.
“
They need you to win at the
snake
pit
because they need money for supplies. They
’
re going to fight back and push at the cartel.
”

“
That
’
s the play?
”
Jake asked.
“
They
’
re not going after other clubs? Or working with the
cartel for takeovers?
”

“
No.
”

“
You
have a cut to back up all these words?
”

“
No,
”
Keira said.
“
Women don
’
t get cuts around here.
”

“
So
then why are you here?
”

“
Kami.
”

“
Your
stepbrother.
”

“
Yeah.
”

“
Pretty
woman like you, you could be anywhere, living straight,
”
Jake said. He put a hand to the wall and forced
himself to move back.
Dangerous territory. Very dangerous.
“
Leave the towel and get out.
”

“
Sit
down and let me help,
”
Keira said.
“
Right now.
”

She grabbed at Jake
’
s shirt and tugged. Jake
reluctantly sat down on the closed toilet. Keira balled up the towel and put
some water on it. She touched the gash and Jake groaned through the pain. When
she leaned forward a little, her chest pushed at the top of her shirt. Jake
looked down her shirt, seeing the outline of her black bra. Her breasts were
heavy, spilling out.

Jake took a breath and then grabbed
at Keira
’
s wrist again,
taking the towel away.
“
That
’
s good enough. Why don
’
t you put on a fucking
sweatshirt or something?
”

“
What?
”
Keira asked.

Jake gritted his teeth.
“
Nothing.
”

Keira stepped back and threw the
towel to the sink.
“
Well,
go fuck yourself then. I was just trying to help.
”

She spun around and Jake saw his
hands moving before he could regain control of his mind and heart. He hooked
one hand right into the back of Keira
’
s
jeans and pulled at her.  She turned and he put a hand to her waist. The feel
of her curve was amazing. Not so much her hand as it swung and connected with
Jake
’
s face, slapping him
right where he had been cut.

The pain was white hot and Keira
’
s face turned bright red.

“
Holy
shit,
”
she said.
“
I
…”

“
I
deserved that,
”
Jake said.
He put his other hand to Keira
’
s
waist and pulled at her.
“
But
it was worth it.
”

“
What
the fuck
…”

“
Don
’
t hang your fucking tits in my
face and expect me not to do anything. I
’
m
not some fucking guy at the bar wishing he could reach out and grab you. I
’
m not afraid of your brother. I
’
m not afraid of Apollo. I
’
m not afraid of the
snake
pit.
I
’
m not afraid of
anything. Got that?
”

Jake wasn
’
t sure what Keira
’
s
answer would be. Maybe she
’
d
slap him again. Maybe she
’
d
smile big and enjoy the attention. Hell, maybe she
’
d lift up her shirt and show off those full tits of
hers.

What Jake didn
’
t necessarily expect was for
Keira to plop down on his lap and dig her nails into the back of his neck.

“
You
better not be all talk,
”
she said.

A second later her mouth collided
with his.

Jake quickly slid a hand up Keira
’
s back and pulled her closer.
His other hand grabbed the back of her head, tightening his grip at her hair.
He pulled and then stood up, taking Keira with him. He took her right to the
sink and sat her on the edge. Now her back was against the wall and mirror.

Rage soared through Jake
’
s body. His stress level was at
an all time high and he had a great relief for it.

Jake tasted Keira
’
s mouth and savored her hidden
innocence. He could see and feel it that she hadn
’
t
been taken care of in a long time. He brought both hands to her jeans and
opened them. With both hands, he grabbed and pulled, knowing this wasn
’
t the moment for taking shit
slow and enjoying foreplay.

He broke the kiss and looked down,
finding that Keira
’
s smooth
stomach led to more smooth skin. When her body curved, he placed his hand,
feeling her wild warmth. She then put her hand to his wrist and stared at him,
mouth open.

“
I
don
’
t even know you,
”
she whispered.

“
So
what?
”
Jake asked.
“
You know my name. I know yours.
That
’
s more than I usually
get.
”

“
Fuck,
”
she purred.

Jake curled his fingers, pressing
against her tender folds. They were forgiving, opening, her sex already
throbbing against his touch. He felt her hips gently rock, her most basic needs
coming to life.

“
Don
’
t fucking push me away unless
you really mean it,
”
Jake
warned.
“
I
’
m not in the fucking mood.
”

Keira let out a moan and then shot
her hand down between Jake
’
s
legs. She squeezed tight against his dick, then followed his growing length.

“
Here,
let me help,
”
Jake said.

He unzipped his jeans and grabbed
his cock. He wrestled it free and then put Keira
’
s
hand to it.

“
Holy
fuck,
”
she said.

“
Pray
all you want, babe,
”
Jake
said.
“
Nothing can save you
now.
”

Jake knew he had his ticket right
at her mercy. Not only was she beautiful but she was fast to talk.

Her hand stroked his cock root to
tip. She then squeezed and let out a whimpering sigh.

And she was desperate for a
fuck.

But Jake wasn
’
t going to fuck her. Not like
this. Not right now.

“
Hurry,
”
Jake said.
“
They
’
re expecting me out there.
”

Before Keira could respond, he
kissed her. His mouth devoured hers, his tongue tasting all of her mouth. His
free hand came around from her back and went right up her shirt and cut under
her bra.
Again, no time for being slow and romantic. Fuck that.

Jake grabbed her breast, his hand
easing right over it. She was big enough to fill his hand and his hand was big
enough to hold all of her. They were a perfect fucking match. He felt her
nipple rock hard, trying to pierce the palm of his hand. Jake kissed from her
mouth to her neck. His teeth grazed her skin as her hand started to move faster
at his cock.

Plunging two fingers into her
pussy, Jake felt just how tight Keira really was. She sheathed his fingers with
a throb. It made him smile because he knew it was going to be a task to fuck
her when the time came right.
