Page 18 of Hawk

“Because I don’t have a fucking property…thingie.”I glared over Hawk’s shoulder when I heard snickers from the men and women watching on.

“Property thingie.”He looked startled, like he was in a daze or something.

“Yeah.The thingie you guys said I needed so the club would recognize me as yours.This would have been avoided if we’d done something like that.Right?”More snickers.

“Thingie.”

“I think you broke him, Killer.”Knuckles gripped Hawk’s shoulder, chuckling as he pulled us away from Kat.I looked over my shoulder to find the other woman hurrying away.I honestly didn’t care if she left or not, as long as she didn’t touch Hawk.

“Jesus, honey.”Hawk picked me up so that I had to wrap my legs around his waist.He stomped to the stairs and didn’t break stride as he went up them, taking a few of them two at a time the closer we got to our destination.

He took me down the hall, back to the same door as before.I was surprised when he shoved the door open, marched inside and kicked it closed behind him.Then he turned with me still wrapped around him and pressed me against the door.

“A thingie.”His lips curved up in a smile that had my stomach doing flips.“I’ve got a thingie for you, all right.”

I opened my mouth to respond, but his lips crashed down on mine.The kiss was fierce, possessive, and had me melting against him.His hands gripped my thighs, holding me up as he deepened the kiss.I moaned into his mouth, my fingers tangling in his hair.

When we finally broke apart, both of us breathing hard, he pressed his forehead against mine.“You claimed me,” he whispered.“In front of everyone.”

“I did.”My voice was breathless even to my own ears.“I don’t know why.I barely know you.”

“You know enough for now.Besides, does it really matter?”

I found myself smiling.“You know what?No.It doesn’t matter.But there is something I need to tell you.”

“What’s that, Killer?”

I sighed.“That’s not going away any time soon, is it?”

“Honestly, Killer or Carrie.Either one will strike fear into the hearts of your enemies.”

“You’re laughing at me.”I tried to scowl at him but I couldn’t really commit.Had I ever had fun like this?This was the lightest conversation we’d had.Hell, it was the lightest conversation I’d ever had with anyone.Any small talk I’d done in the past had been to the benefit of my father and it hadn’t happened often.Because, as he said, I was shit at small talk and just made everything more awkward.

“Nope.I’m laughing at how fuckin’ much you turn me on.”He fastened his mouth on my neck, sucking until I squealed, squirming against him.The shock of the sensation made me thrash, and I tightened my legs around his waist.

“Fuck!”I sucked in a shocked breath.This was… unexpected.

“Carrie?”Hawk rumbled his question vibrated against my lips.“Tell me what you need, baby.You know I’m not gonna hurt you.Right?”

“I know.”My fingers in his hair clenched and unclenched, my body so tight with tension I could barely control myself.“I’m not scared.I wasn’t lying when I told Kat I was horny.But the thing is, while I know how to please a man, I’ve never had sex myself.”

“Your father intended you to be a virgin until he decided what to do with you.”

“Pretty sure I was supposed to be a negotiation tool.”

“You know we don’t have to have sex if you don’t want to.Right?”Hawk continued to feather his lips up and down over my neck.“Just let me taste you.”

“Oh, no, mister.”I moved my hands to frame his face and forced him to look at me.“You’re gonna fuck me.Because you’re who I choose.”

Surprise flared in his eyes.“I’ve got an insane attraction to you, Carrie, but if it doesn’t go the other way --”

I cut off his shit with a kiss, thrusting my tongue into his mouth and taking what I wanted.One hand slapped against my ass before he gripped and kneaded both cheeks with both hands.Then he slapped the other hand down on the other cheek.

“Fuckin’ perfect ass,” he growled against my mouth as his hands gripped my buttocks in a tight hold.“Can’t wait to fuck it.”

I was so fucked.I’d known Hawk would be more than I could handle, but I hadn’t counted on how much the difference would turn me on.He knew all the words to say to make me mindless and could be using it shamelessly to humiliate me or get something from me, but the sad fact was, I simply to Goddid not give a fuck.If Hawk could make me feel like this with just his kiss, the brush of his lips, and a bit of dirty talk, when he got down to business I was going to lose my fucking mind.Worth it.Totally worth it.

He carried me to the bed, laying me down with surprising gentleness given the fire in his eyes.The mattress dipped under his weight as he crawled over me, his massive frame caging me in a way that made me feel safe rather than trapped.
