Duke (Aces MC Series Book 2) (14 page)

“Sorry Taylor, I didn’t want to cause an argument between
you two.”
I looked over at Buster and smiled. It wasn’t his fault, it was that arrogant,
outrageous, maddening but sexy arsehole that he worked for, that was
responsible for my current mood.
“So Busters staying!” Chanel said excitedly.
“Yes and if I catch him anywhere near your room, he’ll wish that Duke finds him
before I do.”

Taylor

“What are you drinking Amy?” I looked at the red drink she
was concocting like a witch around a cauldron.
“Snake bite. You want some!” She asked holding out a glass.
“No I’ll pass thanks.” I was still on antibiotics for my ear, although I hadn’t
experienced any pain today which was a relief. I still had two days left of the
course and wanted to take them in their entirety to make sure it didn’t come
back. I also knew that I couldn’t drink on medication otherwise I’d be sick and
I had a busy day at the salon tomorrow.
There was a loud noise coming from outside. Harlow pulled back the curtain and
looked out of the living room window, “Drink up ladies, the taxis are here!”
There was a flurry of activity as the ladies finished their drinks and
generally got ready by squirting perfume and applying the last of their
make-up. God I hated being the only sober one!

“Why are the prospects outside my house again?” I asked the
group directing my hand in the direction of Buster, Tyler and Ramsey.
“You gotta lot to learn about our men, Taylor.” Harlow said putting her arm
around my shoulder as she directed me towards the taxi. “Because of the threat
the other night, we’re all under protection. Didn’t Duke explain?”
I shook my head, “No, he didn’t explain, he told me!”
Harlow laughed as we walked down the path. I looked over briefly towards the
prospects to see Chanel talking to Buster.
He was a nice enough kid but did
I want Chanel hanging out with him? Did I even have a choice in the matter?
She’d be eighteen in a couple of months and legally an adult in the eyes of the
law.
“She needs to make her own mistakes. Come on get in the taxi.”
I hadn’t even realised I’d stopped walking and was now staring at the two of
them. They did look sweet together but she was so young.
Should she be
getting involved in a club like this? Come to think of it should I?
“Come on ladies speed it up, they won’t wait all night.” Maggie shrieked from
the taxi window.
All twelve of us streamed into the three vehicles and started the ten minute
journey to the Country Club.

“Good evening ladies, we’ve reserved some tables over
there.” A tall balding man said pointing towards the far end of the club.
“Cheers mate.” Maggie said as she stretched on her tip toes to give him a kiss
on his cheek.
The group erupted into fits of laughter as the man stood embarrassed not
knowing what to do.
“Leave him alone Maggie, you’re married and so is he.” Courtney said holding up
the man’s hand and pointing to the ring on his finger.
I felt sorry for him. He looked uncomfortable and was glancing between the
prospects and us, obviously not knowing how to interact through fear of
upsetting anyone.
It was in these situations when I felt uncomfortable. I’d never experienced any
form of racism or prejudice of any kind throughout my life and I could only
wonder if this is how people felt when they were discriminated, based on social
perception. We were just a group of people out for a good time but the looks,
sniggers and general comments from people when we entered the club were truly astonishing
as they were obviously so narrow minded. Fortunately I was the only person to
pick up upon this as I wasn’t shit faced like the rest or they may have just
been used to it?

“Right ladies, select a song and get your names down on the
list. No exceptions, drunk or not!” Maggie looked over at me as she flung the
book in my direction.
I caught it excitedly, already knowing what songs I wanted to sing this
evening. Sophia and I always sang the same songs and although I was without my
wing woman, I was sure that I could still kick arse all on my own.
At that point the three barmaids placed four bottles of Champaign on the tables
along with two glasses of orange juice. Chanel was under aged and I wasn’t
having her getting drunk on my watch. She accepted the drink with raised
eyebrows, “Can’t I have one?” She asked with a pout.
I smirked, “Nice try!”

One by one we got up singing an array of different songs. It
was interesting to see people’s musical tastes and to hear the variety of
different voices!
I found myself sitting with Amy, Louise and Keira for most of the evening. It
turns out that Keira had just opened a florist in Epping high street and we had
lots in common. We’d had several in depth conversations throughout the evening,
discussing business related issues and had arranged to meet at a later date to
catch up when things weren’t so hectic.
Louise was equally as friendly but was more reserved keeping herself to
herself. I had met her briefly at the W.I event on Sunday and her children were
just adorable. She spoke about her twins and briefly touched on the friendship
she’d developed with Spike but she didn’t once talk about herself.
“Come on Taylor it’s our turn.” Amy dragged me from my chair and in the
direction of the stage. I’d already sang two songs this evening but Amy wanted
me to do a duet of Nico and Vinz, Am I wrong which I thought was a strange
request but I’m a game girl!
I started to sing to the music and appreciated the words that I was singing.
This song wasn’t going to win any awards for the lyrics but they were relevant.

So am I wrong
For thinking that we can be something for real?
Now am I wrong
For trying to reach the things that I can’t see?

I glanced from the screen displaying the words to see Duke
leaning against the bar, with his eyes fixed on me.
Bitch! Amy knew exactly what she was doing. She must have known he was here to
select such a random song. I glanced at her as she slurred the words to the
second verse trying to keep in time with the music as she gave me a wink, I
shook my head and continued to ooh in all the right places. We finished to
whoops and cheers from the audience mainly from our party, who were getting
more intoxicated as the evening wore on. From up here on the stage, I could see
the disapproving looks from some of the other customers but we weren’t doing
anything wrong, the group was just having a good time although a little
livelier than most!
My heart rate was still beating rapidly from the sight of Duke, he hadn’t even
touched me and my whole body felt like it was on fire.
“I’m going to the bathroom.”
Amy reached out to grab my hand. “Have you got the hump with me Taylor? You
know that I love you right?” She was now stroking my hair as she swayed in
front of me. “Did you like the song?” She asked with a broad smile.
I nodded my head as I directed her over to Savannah and Chanel, standing near
the dance floor. “Can you look after Amy whilst I pop to the bathroom?”
“Yeah sure Taylor. We’ll look after her.” Savannah said putting her arm around
Amy’s waist to try a prop her up as she was in a mess from the amount of
alcohol she had consumed.
I smiled looking at the state she was in, “Thanks, I won’t be long.”

I walked down the long corridor towards the bathroom. It
must have been a man who designed the layout of the club. W
hy would you put
the female bathrooms furthest away?
They know we have to walk in
uncomfortable shoes! I continued down the corridor and could hear yelling
coming from behind the door.
I slowly pushed it open and stepped inside, into the middle of an almighty argument
between Paige and Chloe. I knew they were twins but I didn’t realise that they
were identical.
“You knew I fucking liked him but you couldn’t help yourself. You’ve been like
this ever since we were kids. If I had it you always took it.” Chloe screeched
at Paige as she got in her face.
Paige was unaffected by her sisters outburst, “It’s not my fault you’re such a
push over. Anyway, he fucking wanted me babe. He knew it was me and he enjoyed
every fucking minute of it.”
Chloe burst into tears and barged past me as she left the room, clearly upset.
I stood there shocked by what I’d just seen. Maggie and Hound were renewing
their vowels on Saturday, in which the girls were bridesmaids. That should make
for an interesting day!

Paige casually strolled over to the mirror to apply another
coat of lip gloss, totally ignoring the fact that I’d witnessed everything.
I ignored her and walked to the furthest cubical, locking the door behind me to
take care of business. I was appreciative of the small basin inside the cubical
and splashed some water on my face after washing my hands. I patted the excess
water from my cheeks with the available tissue paper and immediately felt
cooler.
I opened the door slightly and was immediately pushed back into the cubical.
I struggled against the hulk of a man as he pushed me further inside locking
the door behind him.
“What the …Duke! What you doing?”
He bent down and kissed me taking the words right out of my mouth. My body
reacted like it always did, giving into this man and his advances. I pulled
back trying to get some oxygen into my lungs and saw the desire in his eyes.
“What’s up Duke?” My question came out breathy full of lust and desire.
“You’re like a fucking drug Ash, I needed to taste you.” His statement sent
shivers up my spine and I could feel the heat creeping up my body and prickling
my breasts, that when he circled his thumb over my nipple, I felt a surge of
pleasure and knew that I needed him inside me.
Duke lifted me like I weighed nothing as he placed me gently on the toilet
system against the wall. He broke our kiss and closed the toilet seat,
straddling it as he eagerly spread my legs and placed them over his shoulders
so that his face was in a direct line with my pussy.
He leaned forward and I could feel his warm breath through the damp silk of my
panties as my heart rate increased knowing exactly what he was about to do.
“God you have such a sweet pussy babe.” Duke said as he moved my panties with
ease so that he could get a perfect view. With his fingers he slightly pulled
my lips apart and I could see his beautiful smile, “You’re always ready for me
Ash.”
He leaned in closer and the first contact of his tongue was like a bolt of
electricity running through my veins. I groaned loudly, grinding my pussy
against his face as he inserted a finger into my forbidden hole. The feeling
was unbelievable as he worked his finger in and out as he fucked me with his
tongue.
“Taylor!” A voice shouted.
Duke continued his onslaught ignoring the female that the voice belonged to.
“Taylor, I know you’re in here, Paige just told me.”
I could hear her voice getting closer and the noise of the cubical doors being
pushed open.
Duke pulled away slightly but I was nearly there, I needed him to continue. I
placed my hands roughly on his head and pulled him closer, he couldn’t leave me
like a coiled spring I needed him to finish the job.
“I’m just toping up my make-up. I’ll be out in a minute.” I stated breathing
heavily.
Duke pushed another finger into my rear passage and worked his magical tongue
over my clit. My anus squeezed, pulsing and contracting around his fingers as
my orgasm ripped through my body. I had to use everything within my power to
conceal the scream that was trying to leave my mouth as Duke continued his
onslaught until he had licked me clean.
He released my legs and I stood with the help of the wall as I adjusted my
dress. Duke pinned me against the cubical wall and I felt his arousal and
tasted mine as he kissed me passionately.
I broke the kiss, glaring at him as I pushed him away. Duke raised his eyebrows
with a smirk, my body was still flush and yearning for his touch but I wasn’t
being caught shagging in a cubical.
“Stay in here, until I’m gone,” I whispered as Duke nodded with a huge smile on
his face, “I mean it Duke!”
I straightened up my clothes and unlocked the door, entering the communal area.
“What’s up Savannah?” I asked walking over to her trying my best to look casual.
“Gross! Were you two at it in the cubical?” I turned to see Duke directly
behind me. I swatted his arm playfully.
“Duke, you were supposed to stay in the cubical until we were gone! Now
everyone will think I’m a lush!”
“Lush! Does anyone even use that word anymore?” Savannah asked sniggering.
I stood there narrowing my eyes, mocking an affronted look.
“Yes you are a lush, come here.” Duke grabbed me taking me by surprise as he
deepened the kiss.
“Well if I wanted to watch porn, I’d have downloaded it. I just wanted to let
you know that James has taken Amy home and we’re thinking of moving the party
on to the club house soon.”
I heard the door, indicating Savannah exit.
“We’d better go, they’re probably waiting for us.” Duke placed his hands,
gently cupping my face as he lifted it slightly so I was looking into his eyes.
“Stay with me tonight.”
I slowly nodded as he smiled sweetly bending down to gently kiss me on the
nose. I couldn’t fight this any longer.

We walked back into the bar hand in hand to hear a male
singer, who was matching Ed Sheeran pound for pound.
“Do you want a drink?”
“Just a coke please.”

And, darling, I will be loving you ‘til we’re 70
And, baby, my heart could still fall as hard at 23
And I’m thinking ‘bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways
Maybe just a touch of a hand
Well, me – I fall in love with you every single day
And I just wanna tell you I am

My god, whoever was singing sounded fantastic! I turned to
see who it was. Locke!

So honey now
Take me into your loving arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Place your hand on my beating heart
I’m thinking out loud
That maybe we found love right where we are

Locke was looking directly at something or someone as he
sang. I had to move slightly to see through the crowd to see that he was
obviously dedicating this song to the pretty redhead that I was talking to
earlier.
Duke passed me my drink, “Here you go.”
“You didn’t tell me that Locke could sing!”
He shrugged, “Why would I? We’re so used to him doing it, it’s sort of expected
on a night out.”
“He’s singing to Keira.” I said excitedly, pointing at her through the crowd.
Duke laughed, “He doesn’t even know her. You women read too many bloody romance
stories.”
I placed my drink on the bar and folded my arms across my chest, “And what do
you mean by that?”
“I mean, why can’t he just be singing? Why does he have to be singing to
someone?”
“Can’t you see the way they’re looking at each other or are you blind?” I said
pointing between Keira and Locke.
“You’re seeing what you want to see Ash.
He glanced across the room and
spotted the girl of his dreams. He knew instantly that she was the one
.” He
started to chuckle, “It’s more like,
he sang to her because he knew he’d get
into her panties.
”
I quickly turned on my heels, making my way over to where the rest of the group
were sitting.
“Taylor, come on I was only messing.” He shouted after me.
I continued to walk away but stuck up my middle finger, to the laughter of the
rest of the guys that were at the bar. It wasn’t a very lady like thing to do
but he’d annoyed me with his comment.
Is that what he was doing to me? Sweet
talking me to get into my panties or did he really care?
