Always (Wesson Rebel M.C. Series) (4 page)

“Shit, shit, shit,” Dallas swears.

I moan, unable to form coherent sentences with the pleasure surrounding me like an invisible cocoon. My p
ussy pulses and Dallas grunts.

“Oh shit, yes.” Dall
as continues to pound into me.

Cora lets out a keening wail.

I throw my head back in a silent scream, as we both take to the skies. Dallas cries out, and I feel Danny go stock still. He presses Cora into the bed as he spends himself inside what, next to me has become his second home.

The night goes by too fast the way that things always tend to when you want them to stretch out, and before I know it
, we’re actually leaving.

I fold my last t-shirt and slip it into a suitcase, closing it with a final click. My heart lurches. I’d never been so far away from home without the rest of Wesson with me. Without Cora. My shoulders are tense. It’s just a two-year progr
am, but it feels like forever.

“That’s the last of it?” Cora asks, placing her hand on t
op of mine.

“Yeah,” I swallow nervously. For the first time in our relationship, things were upside down. Scared and uncertain
, I glance at her for reassurance. Two years her senior, I’m supposed to the guide.

“Oh, you’re going to do awesome.” She stands and wraps her arms around me, placing her head on my shoulders. “I always knew you were going to get out and see a bit of the world. H
ave fun, drink too much, travel and forget about Wesson and all the shit that goes with it,” Cora whispers.

“Cora—
”

“I didn’t say forget us
, honey. Just enjoy the break. It’s a rare, once in a lifetime opportunity. Once you comeback, you’ll be locked in like me.”

“You love it here.”

“I do, but I’m going to miss you something fierce.” Cora placed a hand on my cheek, gently turning my face to hers. Her soft, full, dusky
pink lips brush mine.

With the touch of her lips,
I’m taken back to the first time we played on our own without the boys. Danny and I never shared ourselves with anyone, but somehow with Baby Girl and Dallas it always felt right, like we were a complete unit.
 

Two years Earlier
 

Having the boys gone was n
othing new, but this mission felt different. A month long stint while they showed their faces at the sister charters. Normally, we’d ride along with them, but Cora had gone and got herself knocked up. The baby made her temperature run hot, which is why she walks around the club in nothing more than a pair of tiny cut off shorts that barely cover her ass and thin tank tops. Watching the prospects avert their eyes when she walks by is an entertaining game I never tire of.

She flops down on the bed beside me and huffs. She stretches her arms above her head and bares miles of supple brown skin. Pregnancy glow is no myth. She’
s fucking beautiful right now.

“What’s wrong
, Baby Girl? You got a craving? Need me to get you something?” I run my fingers through her hair. I wish I could provide comfort. She misses the boys as much as I do, maybe more, given her heavy dose of estrogen.

“You know what I’m supposed to be doing right now, Ro? Having wicked hot hormone induced sex. The first three months make your libido kick into high gear. I’m wet from the time I wake up
, till the time I go to sleep. My fingers aren’t doing the job, and Dall would blow a gasket if I ever thought about using a toy. Even my nipples ache.” Her hands creep up and cup her swollen mounds.

My mouth waters.
“You aching, baby?” I sit up and run my fingers down her arms.

“Mm
-hmm,” she whimpers. Her eyelids flutter up.

I find my
self lost in her brown lasers. “Maybe I can help you with that.” My heart pounds faster in my chest. Dallas and Danny’s words circled in my head. Whatever she needs, get it for her, no expenses spared.

“Rowan?” s
he whispers.

“I want to try something different
, Baby Girl. We don’t always need the boys with us to play, do we?” I push her thick sable hair away from her oval face and bend down, brushing my lips against hers.

She gasps, rubbing her legs together
as her full lips part.

“The boys told me to take
good care of you and that’s what I’m going to do.”

“Ro.” She gathers my red hair in her fist.

Wetness spreads over my panties. She’s not the only one who’s been doing without.

“
Mmmh, let me have a little taste,” I say.

Cora sits up. Gentle brushes of lips become more, fast. She slips her tongue in my mouth, and I
moan, returning the favor. She’s so sweet and soft, where Danny is hard. It’s one of the things I love the most about our play time, the contrast. Our chests press together. Her hard nipples graze mine. I rub my thighs together, more turned on than I could remember being in a long time.

“Fuck, Irish
, you’re so sexy.”

Her words make me whimper.
Who’s seducing who here?

“Are you ready for me to touch you
, baby?”
“God, yes,” I say. She runs her tongue across my lips, rolling my pert nipples through the material of my shirt. My breath catches in my throat.

“You like that?” She rasps.

“Yes, Cora, God.” I watch her.

Her eyes are half-lidded
and she has her bottom lip caught between even white teeth. I skim my fingers up her along body and cup her breasts, giving her the same treatment. She whimpers and together, we climb exchanging sweet kisses and heated looks without our men looking on and lending their encouragement.

“Are you wet
, Ro?”

“Shit y
es, baby,” I whisper against her lips. “Lie down and let me give it to you. This is about your needs first. You’re the one growing life.” I run my fingers over her belly and smile. “My Baby Girl, all grown up and becoming a mother.” I unbutton her shorts and pull down the zipper, peeling them down. “Commando?” I lift a brow.

“Kept soaking through und
erwear,” Cora mumbles.

“Don’t you worry, baby, we’re going to take care of that. Lift your hips
up for me.” She did as I asked and I work the denim down her hips and long legs. I kept our gazes latched as I trail a finger down her slit. “God, you are wet and hot.” Gathering her moisture I rub her clit, delighted when she bucks off the bed and grips the covers. “You need it bad don’t you?” I ease two fingers inside her, savoring the feel of her heated flesh closing around me. She flexes her walls, and I moan. “You feel so good baby. Are you going to come apart for me?”

“Yes.” She rocks
her hips up.

I angle
my fingers, brushing against her g-spot. It’s different with another woman. I know the things that will please her and I like the feel of her soft, silken flesh. I like watching her come to life. I’ve always taken care of her. This is just another extension. One, I love more than I ever could’ve imagined. I often heard people say love and passion wasn’t about the package, but the person inside it. I understand that now completely. She shakes beneath me and I stay with her. “That’s it, beautiful, let go for me, come over my fingers.”

“Ro-Rowan,” s
he cries out.

The sound of my name on her lips as she finds
release fills my heart with happiness.
 

Present

“Hey, where did you go?” Cora asks,
waving her hand over my eyes.

“Just thinking about the first time we played solo.” I smile at the bittersweet mem
ories.

“Good memory.”

I rest my forehead against hers and soak up the calming vibrations she sends out without trying.

“Get the le
ad out ladies! We need to hit the road,” Dallas yells.

“Al
ways a charmer, isn’t he?” I joke.

Cora laughs. “Charmer
, my ass. Come on.”

We leave the
room that’s been Dan’s and mine since we moved in six months ago. Once she turned up pregnant, Dallas bought them a home of their own.

“Come on
, let’s get this over with,” I prompted.

“Your d
ad is going to tear up, the old softie,” Cora says.

I smile. I’m lucky to have a dad who can compartmentalize his shit. The years spent in the
MC haven’t tainted him like others.

We said our formal goodbyes at the BBQ earlier. This one was just
for our families. Rule and my dad, Sergeant in arms, Randall ‘Brain’ Singer would dole out last minute advice hugs and in Danny’s case, threats. My gaze lingers on the warm beige walls covered with pictures from the past and representation of Wesson Rebels.

We exit the hall, and I smile at my father.

Graying in his beard and his hair, the dark brown has become salt and pepper. Pushing fifty, he’s getting up in age, but there isn’t a damn thing wrong with his mind. Known as the man with the plan, he’s gotten this club out of more shit than even I can imagine. He holds out his arms to me.

I go in
like a pigeon to a homing beacon. There is no safer place on this planet than in my daddy’s arms.

“Always knew you’d be on to bigger and better
, Rowan my girl.”

“Daddy it’s two years of college. Then
, I’ll be back.”

“Maybe you’ll get a taste for the normal life. You and Danny
were always a bit different.”

I pull back. “You don’t want me to come back?” My heart aches.
Doesn't Dad want me with him?

“I do. I just want you to spend some time thinking. There are lots of things out there for you if you've got a mind to have it, and this life has a way of aging a body fast. Hell, if I woke up and nothing hurt
, I’d think I was dead.”

I
laugh. “Dad, you’re timeless.”

“
Hmph
, still trying to earn brownie points. You’re my heart, girl.”

“I love you too
, Daddy,” I whisper, stepping back. If I don’t stop this now, I’ll be a bawling mess and neither of us wants or need that.

“You,” Daddy points
at Danny. “Out on the patio.”

And it begins.

“Come and give me some time, little girl,” Rule booms in the sexy voice that makes me quiver inside. Pushing mid-forties and graying at the temples and in the short beard he often wore, the man doesn’t lack for sex appeal. Dark brown eyes sit in a strong face with a dimpled chin. It’s easy to see how Dallas and Danny came out so pretty.

I walk over to him and inhale the scent of leather and male that accompanies his embrace.
“You’re going to be fine. You two look out after each other, keep my son from slaughtering those college boys with wandering eyes and enjoy yourself. You always were into books and shit.”

I snicker. Since I became Danny’s old lady, he’s treated me like a daughter. “I’ll do my best, but you know, they
call him Samson for a reason.”

“Yeah, I got the bail money ready. If you need anything
you call, understood?”

“Yes P, I savvy.”

Rule rolls his eyes. “Smart ass girl, go see if Brain is done reading my boy the riot act, so we can get you on the road.”

With my past firmly behind me, I step a
way from Rule to get my old man and start on our journey toward the future.

Present

Now, the very thought of that day adds to the rocky ocean in my stomach threatening to eject my last meal. It’s amazing how that memory which once excited and filled me with hope, is now the start of a fall from a great distance. I glance at Danny, unsure for the first time in my life how to help him.

Some shit you just have to liv
e through one day at a time. Do your best to keep your heart from shattering and your mind from snapping under the pressure…like Dallas. I glance at Cora and back to Danny, feeling torn. Who needs me more? Cora is taken care of by a man I don’t know or trust and Danny is haunted. I remain rooted to the spot, help to no one. This crash is just a part of our lives. Shit happens that would shake a person right out of their sanity, but we have to move on.

So
, I put on my big girl panties, took a deep breath, and went to Cora. “I got her,” I say, glaring at Houdini to let him know I see right through his facade.
Helpful and harmless my ass.

“Maybe
she doesn’t want to go.” His soft voice might as well have been a scream.

I go ramrod straight
and all but yank Cora away from him. “She needs to be with family right now, Nomad. Come on, Baby Girl.” I wrap my arms around her shoulders and lead her over to Danny. The best thing to do right now is hold tight to one another. “Danny?” I say gently.

He looks down at me
and the emptiness in his hazel eyes frightens me.

“We should go in
side and get out of the heat.”

He nods dumbly and glances over at Cora. His face
softens and he snaps back into action. It was second nature by now, fixing what Dallas has broken.

N
ow though, I’m wondering if it’ll be enough. When you stretch a rubber band beyond its elastic threshold, no amount of glue will repair it. What do we do then?
