Redeemed: Bad Blooded Rebel Series #4 (3 page)

We
all giggled and I said, “Let’s hope. We haven’t slept together in over a week
and I am hoping-”

“To
get some rock star dick tonight?” Sadie laughed.

I
giggled and said, “Something like that.” I looked at the clock on the wall and
it read nine thirty. “Okay, the guys should be back. Are we ready to head out?”

“Ready!
Let’s tear this town up, ladies!” Sadie yelled and we all cheered. She walked
out of the room and we followed into the living room.

Just
as I thought, Ryder and the guys were waiting for us. “It’s about time!” Jude
joked. “God, women take too long to get ready.”

“Fuck
you, big guy,” Sadie said and flipped him off. “It’s my birthday so I can take
as long as I want to.”

Standing,
he said, “That’s right, you can. Happy birthday,” he said, hugging her. “You
look hot. I’m going to have to keep my eye on you so no one fucks with you.”

Sadie
rolled her eyes and feigned annoyance but I could see her smile because he said
she looked hot. We all knew Sadie had been crushing on Jude…everyone but Jude.
It was actually kind of cute. “Whatever. Let’s go get torn up!”

I
smiled and walked to Ryder, who surprisingly hadn’t said a word, as he rose off
the couch. “Evie…” he said, looking at me hungrily.

“How
do I look?” I said, my eyes traveling up and down his gorgeous body before
locking with his.

“You
look like I want to drag you into our room and not let you out of the penthouse
tonight,” he said sexily. “Fuck, you look sexy as hell, Evie.”

“Well,
I promised Sadie a fun birthday but I am totally down for you doing whatever
you want to me when we get back tonight,” I said, pressing against him.

I
could feel his erection against me and he groaned. “All right fine,” he said.
“Before we go, I need you to do me a favor.”

“What’s
that, rock star?” I asked, my blood on fire from the promise of smoking hot sex
once we got home.

He
reached into his coat and pulled out the G26 and handed it to me. “Carry this
with you tonight.”

I
rolled my eyes and said, “Ryder, come on. Don’t ask me to carry that thing
tonight!”

“I’m
not asking you, I’m telling you, Evie,” he said in a stern tone.

I
knew not to fight him on this so I immediately relented. “Where the hell am I
supposed to put it? This outfit is skin tight.”

“Tuck
it into your boot. They are high enough that you can tuck it in by your ankle
and no one will be able to see it,” he said.

I
hesitated for a moment before taking it from him. “I swear if I didn’t love you
so much I wouldn’t do this,” I whined, unzipping my boot and tucking the gun in
at my ankle.

As
I zipped it back up he said, “And if I didn’t love you so much I wouldn’t ask
you to. Let’s go celebrate Sadie being a legal drinker. God help us all.” I
smiled and took his hand as we left the penthouse.

Two
hours later, we’d all had dinner at Topaz and we had just gotten to Shadow. The
place was crowded tonight. A big well-known band, whose members were friends
with Ryder and the boys, were playing there. Also, there were plenty of dark
corners that I could pull Ryder into if we just couldn’t make it home.

As
the guys took a table in the back of the club, Sadie pulled me and the girls
out on the dance floor. We all danced together and for the first time in a
while I felt carefree. “Hey Ev,” Sadie whispered into my ear, “you want to make
Ryder freak out?”

“Freak
out? How?” I asked her.

“Well,
you both look horny as hell and have been eye fucking each other all night
long. I can tell you want him like, right now, so you want to kick start a
visit to the bathroom?” she asked me, smiling mischievously.

I
smiled at her. “Why am I scared?”

“Don’t
worry, I’m not going to make out with you,” she joked. “But why don’t we dance
hard on each other? He’s watching you like a hawk and if we are grinding on
each other he’ll be limp to rock hard in no time.”

I
sighed and smiled. “Well, it’s worth a shot, I guess. Let’s get sexy, little
mama,” I said and she laughed. We got close to each other and Sadie flipped her
hair back as she grabbed my ass and pulled me close to her.

She
laughed and said, “I’ve got to say, Ev, if I were a lesbian I’d be all over you
right now because you’ve got a seriously nice ass girl.”

I
smiled and said, “Um, thanks, I think.” We moved together and danced like there
should have been a pole between us. My eyes flicked over to the table where the
guys were sitting and I didn’t see Ryder anywhere. I felt disappointed, knowing
that my plan to seduce him had apparently failed. I was about to stop dancing
with Sadie when I felt a hand at the small of my back and a deep, sexy voice in
my ear say, “Bathroom. Now. Let’s go.” I turned to see Ryder looking at me with
lust in his eyes.

I
smiled and bit my lip as he took my hand. I heard Sadie call out, “Have fun,
you two!” as Ryder pulled me quickly toward the bathrooms. We were almost there
when he pulled me down the hallway and pressed me against the brick wall.

“Lift
your legs and wrap them around me,” he commanded and I did what he told me to
do. I felt him undo his fly and I gasped as I felt his hard cock pressing right
at my entrance. “Watching you dancing up against Sadie was fucking hot, Evie. I
am so fucking hard I’m trying my best not to come right now.”

I
moved my hand down and grabbed his dick and gave it a few strokes. “Fuck me,
Ryder,” I whispered into his ear.

He
groaned, pulled my panties to the side, and sank his cock into me. I cried out
in pleasure and thankfully my cries were drowned out by the sound of the band
playing. He drove into me at a fast rate and my body was alive with ecstasy. I
was racing toward an orgasm at an alarmingly fast rate already. “Ryder, I’m
close. I’m going to come,” I said into his ear.

“Fuck,
me too, baby. Let’s finish together,” he growled and he thrust two more times
before I was coming hard against his dick. We both moaned loudly as we found
our release together. I think this may have been the fastest sex we’d ever had
but it was also the hottest. The fact that Ryder was so turned on by me that we
didn’t even make it to the bathroom before he had to have me was so exciting.
We had sex against the wall in the hallway of a crowded club and my body had
never felt so alive.

He
pulled out of me and adjusted himself as I fixed my skirt as discreetly as
possible. “Ryder, that was unbelievable,” I said, smoothing my shirt.

“Sorry
to just press you against the wall like that, but I…just had to have you.”

“Don’t
ever apologize for wanting me like that, Ryder. That was so…I don’t know, I
don’t have a word for what that was,” I said, smiling.

“Well,
my dick has affected your vocabulary, so I’d say this was a good thing,” Ryder
said.

I
giggled and kissed him. “Well, I’m wiped out so I’m going to head back to the
table. Come with me?”

“Yeah,
in a second. I’ve got to take a piss,” he said and he kissed me one more time.
“Meet you back at the table, gorgeous?”

“Sounds
like a plan.”

“Make
sure you go straight there, okay?” he said.

I
held up my hand and said, “Scout’s honor.” He smiled at me and went into the
bathroom as I walked back to the table and took a seat next to Kris and Beau,
who were both nursing beers. “Hey guys, where’s Jude?”

“Last
I saw he was in the corner of the bar making out with some chic,” Beau said.

I
shook my head and sighed as I took a drink of Ryder’s beer and waited for him
to come back.

It
had been fifteen minutes since I had come back to the table and Ryder wasn’t
back yet. I’d been talking to Kris and had just now noticed he was still gone
and I was starting to worry. I tried to fight off my impending panic attack and
I stood up. “Hey, I’ve got to go to the bathroom. I’ll be right back,” I said
to the guys and they nodded.

“Hurry
back, sweetheart,” Beau said and I nodded at him. I walked toward the
bathrooms, butterflies forming in my stomach. Something was wrong…I could feel
it. Ryder barely left me alone for two minutes when we were at the penthouse so
for him to be MIA for more than fifteen minutes with Scott on the loose wasn’t
good.

I
had just made it to the bathroom and was just about to push open the door when
I felt a shiver creep up my spine. I pushed open the door and looked down to
see Ryder in a crumpled heap on the floor with blood on his face. I screamed
and ran toward him, falling down at his side. I reached out a shaking hand to
touch him, terrified I’d already find him cold. There was so much blood…
“R-ryder?” I cried out, panicked. When my fingers grazed his scruffy cheek and
I felt his face, fear spread all through me. He was cold.

 I
opened my mouth to scream but it was quickly covered by a strong hand and I
felt cold steel at my throat. “Well, it’s about fucking time you showed up,
baby girl,” I heard the most sinister voice say. “I was about to just go out
into the club and get you myself.”

I
whimpered and let out a loud sob that unfortunately for me no one heard. My
eyes scanned the club and I was out of sight of everyone that could save me.
Tears immediately filled my eyes as Scott dragged me from the bathroom, leaving
Ryder’s lifeless on the bathroom floor. He pulled me into the back corner and
said, “Here’s how this is going to go. I am going to take you out the back
entrance and when we get outside you aren’t going to scream or make a scene,
you got it? If you do I’ll not only kill you but I’ll take out one of your
little rocker buddies in there.”

I
nodded and he lowered his hand from my mouth. “S-Scott…what did you d-d-do to
R-Ryder?” I asked, barely able to form any words. I was shaking with fear and I
felt like I would vomit at any moment.

He
laughed wickedly and said, “You know, for a rocker that’s talked a lot of shit
about taking me out, he was certainly easy enough to take down when his back
was turned. I could have had fun paying him back for knocking me out at the club
a few weeks ago but I need all my energy for what I have planned for us
tonight,” he said, running his hand along the side of my breast, “so I just
waited until he was taking a piss and took him out.”

“Oh
dear God,” I cried, breathless with grief. “Did you kill him?” I asked, praying
to God that the answer was no.

I
could feel him smile as he leaned into my ear and whispered, “I’ve killed a
nurse and now a rock star. I’ll kill anyone that tries to keep you from me
again.” He opened the back entrance, leading me out into the street. He placed
the knife at my back and said, “Don’t you fucking make a sound.”

I
had to use all of my strength to keep from collapsing to the ground. Despair took
over my entire being and I began to silently sob as Scott dragged me down the
street toward a waiting taxi cab. As he shoved me into the back seat, I wept
and prayed for a miracle that would never come. Scott had killed Ryder…and in
that moment, for the first time in my life, I prayed for death. I wouldn’t live
in a world where Ryder wasn’t in it. Whatever Scott had planned for me tonight
I would welcome it because without Ryder I was already dead.

Ryder

I
watched as Everleigh sashayed away from me and went back to the table with Kris
and Beau. I breathed a sigh of relief knowing she was safe and went into the
bathroom to pee. I unzipped my pants and took a long piss in the urinal. I had
just zipped up when I heard the bathroom door open and the sound of slow footsteps
behind me. I tensed as alarm bells were going off in my head…something didn’t
feel right. I was about to reach for my gun but before I could I felt a sharp
blow to the side of my head and then everything went dark.

“Ryder?
Ryder, are you okay?” I heard someone say. It sounded like it was coming from
far away at first, but then the voice got louder and louder. Where there was
dark I now started to see light and when I opened my eyes I flinched from the
brightness of the fluorescent bulbs. “Ryder? Fuck, he’s alive! Open your eyes,
man, open your eyes!”

My
eyes focused and I saw Jude leaning over me, looking scared, which instantly
made me tense up. If Jude looked afraid something was seriously wrong. I tried
to sit up and my head started screaming. “Oh fuck, my head,” I groaned, putting
my hand to my temple. “I’m going to kill that fucking prick!”

“Listen,
man, the ambulance is on the way,” he said, “just try to stay down.”

I
pushed against him and sat up against the wall. “I don’t need an ambulance, I’m
fine. I need to go after that fucking asshole and stop him before he gets to
Everleigh.”
