I’m always in control.

Tightening my grip on her throat, a moan escapes her and my cock is rock hard. I take back over, deepening the kiss, commanding her and stealing the air in her lungs.

Mine.

These lips belong to me.

And once I’m home, I’ll be claiming the rest of her.

But, right now, however reluctantly, I have to go.

I pull myself away, noticing the goosebumps on her smooth skin erupt under my fingertips.

Oh, I could have so much fun with this woman.

She blinks at me, opening those swollen lips to speak, yet stops herself.

With a smirk, I tuck the stray dark curl behind her ear.

“I’ll see you later, beautiful.”

I back away before giving her a chance to reply, but that little grin she gives me tells me enough.

I need this job done as quickly as I can.

Jax and Alexei are waiting at the meeting spot standing next to their motorcycles. Our other men are in two other locations so we can all arrive at the bar at the same time.

“Ready to kick some ass?” Jax beats his fist into his palm.

I nod as Alexei bounces from foot to foot.

He’s unpredictable going into these. Some days, he acts like he’s half asleep. Others, he’s a tornado of limbs and brimstone.

It would be better for us if he’s the storm.

“Let’s go.” We saunter into the bar and head for the back.

The eyes of dozens of Reapers watch us. Most are dressed in regular street clothes and not wearing their signature leather vests.

But, it’s obvious who they are.

Our guys come in from the back.

“Hey, Petey!” Alexei yells across the room to one of them. “I got your diamonds!”

Shit. He brought the thunder.

Pulling a velvet bag from under his shirt, Alexei tosses it down on the counter and it makes the distinctive chirp of gemstones.

What the hell? Does he really have them?

The room erupts.

Chairs fly backwards from tables as our spectators leap to their feet and rush forward.

I can hear Alexei cackle over all of them as he leaps onto a stool and then the bartop, his matching pearl-handled pistols drawn.

More of our crew floods in through the doors, surrounding the Reapers.
