“Who all is here?” I asked, not seeing a bike anywhere.

“Judgment,” he replied. “And their families.”

“But there aren’t any bikes.”

“Those are all stored in the shed out back. No one wants their ride getting trashed,” he said, pulling up close to the door. “You run on inside. I’ll bring your things.”

I started to get out when the door to the club opened and Tex came running out. I watched him as he came straight for me.

“Come on, Dolly,” he called out, reaching for me.

I let him help me down, but he picked me up instead and rushed back inside.

I was on my feet in the dark hallway so fast that I had barely gotten wet at all. “Thanks,” I said, wiping the little rain that had dampened my arms off with my hands.

“You’re welcome.”

“Is Pepper here yet?” I asked hopefully.

He shook his head. “No. She is at her bar, boarded in with Anson and Country. It got too bad for them to start this way, and they decided to wait it out there.”

Not what I wanted to hear. If I had known that, I would have asked to go to her bar. I’d rather be there than here. Anywhere Micah was not.

Micah

The text from Brick came through, taking a massive weight off my shoulders.

Here. She’s with Nina and Goldie in the kitchen.

I took another pull from the cigarette and tried not to think about the fact that I had caved in and lit one. This was the only thing I could think of to take the edge off. She’d heard me call her slow. That was going to fuck me up for a while. How did I even go about fixing that shit? I’d let my emotions get the better of me. That wasn’t me. I didn’t let emotions in. So, why was it that little Dolly Dixon was messing me up like this?

I’d hurt her. It was there in her eyes. Yet she had still been ready to let me take her virginity against a damn wall like a caveman. I held my fingers up to my nose and inhaled. Fuck, her scent was still there, and it was sweet. I needed to wash it away, but it was so damn addictive, and I couldn’t bring myself to do it. She was a goddamn virgin. I didn’t fuck virgins.

Didn’t mean I couldn’t spread her legs open and feast on that sweet honey though. Listen to her get off with my head between her thighs. Lick her swollen clit and hear her crying out my name.

“FUCK!” I shouted, jamming what was left of my smoke into the ashtray.

I had to stop this. It was Dolly. I couldn’t think about Dolly like that. She deserved all the romantic shit. I didn’t want anything to do with romantic shit.

Regardless, my desire to go downstairs, snatch her up, haul her to my room, and chain her to my bed was real damn strong. I stuck my middle finger—the one I had slid inside her tight cunt—into my mouth and sucked. I needed to fuck. Problem was, I couldn’t bring myself to touch one of the willing cunts here. None of them smelled like this, and they sure as hell didn’t taste this good. There was one pussy I wanted, and I couldn’t have it.

The door to the library opened, and Brick walked in. I lifted my gaze to meet his as he made his way to the center of the room. I was sitting in Liam’s leather chair with my booted feet propped up on his desk. I could see that Brick was pissed at me. Well, join the fucking club. I wasn’t real damn happy with me either.

“This place is crawling with Judgment. Some of them that don’t understand she’s off-limits. You gonna sit up here and ignore that?” Brick asked me.

“You said you left her with Nina and your ol’ lady in the kitchen,” I replied.

“They’re not gonna be there all damn night with her, and the way some of these horny-ass prospects are, I don’t want that shit on Goldie’s shoulders. You had me bring her here. Now, it’s your turn to take care of her.”

I dropped my feet to the floor and stood up. He was right, but that didn’t mean I wanted to listen to it. “You think me taking care of her makes her safer?” I asked. “I almost fucked her earlier. She’s a virgin. I can’t be near her.”

A low, deep chuckle came from Brick, and I glared at him.

“You’re afraid to fuck her.”

“Yeah, because virgins are clingy. They get attached. They expect things.”
