Page 9 of Cruise

Willa didn’t believe she’d ever be in his presence and want to laugh but him writhing on the floor with the smell of urine filling the room had a grin tugging at her lips. He’d been the demon in her nightmares for so long. Today, she’d gotten to strip him of the power he’d had over her. Everything wouldn’t be perfect but she was sure she could work through any issues with a therapist. Knowing he couldn’t get to her gave her hope for her future with Cruise.

“So, what do you want to do with him? We have enough I think to have an investigation launched.”

Willa looked at her abuser as he lay on the floor with blood, snot and tears running down his face. With the help of her friends, she’d had her time with him today. She wasn’t sure if they were offering to have him disappear but that would be too easy on him. She wanted him to face what he’d done and she wanted the other women to have some satisfaction. He deserved to suffer for what he’d done.

“I want him to pay and I want the women he hurt to know he’s paying for it.”

Remi nodded. “Any of you guys want a piece of him before we hand him over to the authorities?”

The men walked out of the darkness with Cruise heading toward her. She hadn’t realized they’d joined them. The fact he’d been here having her back but not taking over brought tears to her eyes. He understood her on a deeper level. His grin was so wide she could see his white teeth within his beard. She was looking forward to seeing his smile for the rest of her life. He picked her up around the waist, holding her high against his chest.

“My Brave Heart, you’re even more a badass than I knew. You are an amazing woman. I should have known you could take care of him all on your own. I just really wanted to make everything better for you.”

She relished the feel of his arms around her and slid her hands against his cheeks. She leaned down kissing his forehead. “I know.”

“Remi, what the hell? I thought we had a plan.”

She giggled at War’s attitude. Remi held up her upgraded cattle prod, shaking it toward him. “Husband, it was your plan. At no time did you ask Willa want she wanted to do. If you had, we would have been happy to plan with you. While you decided you all knew better, we chose to let Willa do what she wanted.”

War closed his eyes and shook his head. When he opened them, he stared at Willa. “I apologize, Willa, for not asking for your take on the plan. Sometimes I forget that the Bluff Creek Brotherhood MC attracts fierce, badass women who fight beside their men and instead I go into protective mode. But it looks like you’ll fit right in at taking out the trash when needed. Once we get him out of here, I’ll have a prospect come sanitize this mat.”

Cruise sliding her down his body had her breathing picking up. She swallowed, wondering if it would be inappropriate to have them head back to the house. She was free and she wanted to celebrate by exploring every inch of Cruise’s body. She’d been waiting for years to see him naked and have the right to taste him.

“I loved watching you kick his ass.”

Cruise paused and Willa knew exactly where he was going with it. “Go ahead. You should get in a few hits too. It’s quite freeing.”

Cruise brushed his lips on hers. “Go have fun with the women. I’ll make sure he’s still alive when he’s turned over to the authorities.”

“Yo, Willa said I should get some hits in. Let’s have someone get him cleaned up and then my fists would like a chat with him.”

Chapter Seven

Cruise walked toward the house he and Willa were staying in. He’d had his time teaching Willa’s abuser a lesson. Of course, Slice had wanted to get in on it too. He adored Willa but in a big brother sort of way. After they’d finished, Baron had said he had an old friend who worked at Leavenworth Prison who would point them toward the right direction to have the captain pay for his crimes. He’d checked on Willa letting her know he and Slice were delivering the teacher’s car and then would be home.

He stood at the door a minute savoring the moment. He was walking inside to his woman. Neither one of them would need to worry about the captain hurting her ever again. He pushed open the door, glancing around the house. Although he liked this house, he was hoping Willa would be interested in designing their own house to fit their needs.

“Willa, you in here?”

He’d texted he was on his way back but she hadn’t replied. She walked out of the bedroom and he paused. His woman took his breath away. Standing there with her dark brown hair around her shoulders and her creamy skin highlighted by a deep red short nightgown with a black belt and white fur fringe on top. She looked adorable with a Santa hat perched on her head. The heat blazing in her eyes had him ready to unwrap her. The only thing that bothered him was the colorful bruise forming on her face. He’d live with it because his woman had fought the man who’d terrorized her and won.

“I heard you’ve been a very good boy this year, Jason “Cruise” Park. Santa sent me as your early Christmas present. Now all you need to do is unwrap me.”

She crooked her finger at him and Cruise went running. The mischievous grin on her face was a sight to see. He slid his hand around her waist, tugging her flush with him.

“How did Santa know exactly what I wanted for Christmas?”

He didn’t give her a chance to answer, just took her mouth letting her know without words how much he wanted her and adored her. To feel her against him after all this time and know she was his, had him realizing it was the best Christmas present he’d ever received.

Willa stood still letting Cruise trail kisses across every part of her he exposed as he pulled off her Santa costume. He’d quickly divested himself of his clothes telling her she could explore nexttime but he needed her now. Being here in this moment with him was more than she’d imagined.

Cruise lifted her and laid her onto the bed. His muscles gleaming in the lamplight. She trailed her fingers across his chest, the light hairs tickling her fingertips. She traced the Bluff Creek Brotherhood MC tattoo on his chest as he kissed down her neck, sending shivers through her.

She wanted to explore Cruise but it would have to wait. His kisses across her breast as he lifted her nipple to his mouth had her falling. She couldn’t concentrate, only feel the toe-curling sensations she’d never take for granted.

“Willa, relax. I’ve got you and all you need to do is let me worship your body. We have our whole lives ahead of us.”

He was right. She wasn’t worried about pleasing him because their love would guide them. She rubbed her mound against Cruise’s cock, craving him inside her.
