“I have a loose skin on my stomach from when I was pregnant.” Her voice is brittle, vulnerable.

“You grew a literal human. It’s nothing short of incredible.” I press a kiss to the throbbing vein on her neck. “Never be embarrassed by that. If anything, it only turns me on more.” Her body releases its tension. Nothing could turn me off her.

Leaning forward, I take that sweet mouth in a passionate kiss, then, while holding myself up on one arm, I grip my cock with my other hand and drag its head through her heat. She moans my name, sweet and soft, needy and submissive. Burning fire courses through my veins.

For two beats of my heart, we stare at each other. I surge forward. Her eyes widen and she cries out as her back bows off the bed. Right then and there I nearly lose it. Tight. Hot. Constricting... Perfect. I claim her, drive hard and deep. My body is the one thing I can give her. She is mine, and I want everything from her.

Her fingernails dig into my shoulders, ripping a growl from my lungs. I love the mix of pleasure and pain. “Mark me, make me bleed,” I say through heavy breathes. The slices of pain that follow make me groan in satisfaction.

Skin slapping and loud breathing echo throughout the room. As I pound into her, my cock bottoms out, and I want to do this forever. My muscles are bulging and flexing with each movement. “You want my cum inside you?” I needed to mark her. I think I’d die if she said no, but what a way to go out.

Sweat dampens the hair around her temples. “Yes, oh God, yes.”

I want to come inside this woman a thousand times over, so I pound into her. She fucking detonates and clenches my cock in spasm after spasm. My muscles tense, balls draw tight, and I fucking lose it. I come hard and fill her up.She’s heaven.

After she falls asleep, a shiver races up my spine and lodges in my throat. I realize I’d do anything for this woman. If she wants my heart, I’ll carve it out for her and deliver it on a silver platter.

IVY – JETT’S FIRST GENUINE SMILE

Ivy

It’s justme and the ol’ ladies sitting at the dining table eating breakfast. This morning the men went on a bike ride to do God knows what, so Jett and I will probably have a late lunch somewhere. My mind drifts as I stare into the distance, thinking about Jett’s body pressed against mine. Those tattoos, those abs, that dominance... I’m still surprised he was the one to initiate sex, and oh, was it glorious.

“Do you have today off?” Elena asks beside me, pulling me out of my daydream.

My eyelids flutter a few times before I nod. “I was filling in for work colleagues who were off. My full-time shift starts again in three days.”

“How’s work at the hospital?” Zara asks, wiping her mouth with a napkin.

“They’re long shifts, but I love it.” I glance at Elena and Ava. “I really appreciate your help with Sammy. I desperately need the money, and I love my job. It’s been nice to get out of the clubhouse and do something more... normal.” Sincerity pours from my voice.

Ava flashes me a wide smile. “No need to thank us. She’s easy to care for. Very independent. She just likes being around everyone.”

“She is, but she’s also strong-willed and stubborn,” I reply, smiling. Then it dawns on me where she gets that from.

“Have you heard anything about your ex?” Sophie asks, her hand wrapped around her coffee cup. “Viper’s been telling me not to leave the clubhouse, saying it’s just a precaution.”

My gut drops. A nervous energy courses through me. “Jett hasn’t said anything. I’ll ask him about it today.” It could explain why he’s been so cautious about me leaving for work.

“On that note”—Sophie leans in closer—“are you and Demon a couple or...?”

I chuckle, all eyes on me. “I don’t even know if that’s a possibility with him. The whole concept of a relationship is alien to him.”

Sophie snorts. “I bet.”

I shake my head, trying not to grin. “We’re going on a date today.” The word still sounds strange when referring to Jett. I cringe inwardly, remembering his expression when I called it that.

“What are you planning to do?” Sophie asks, clearly invested.

“I’m hoping to go into town and have a late lunch. That’s if we can leave the clubhouse. I just want us to spend some time together. I’m trying to get to know him, but it’s hard, you know...” I glance at the floor. “He’s not much of a talker. But I’d like for him to trust me enough to let me in... let me understand him and his past because he’s troubled. He’s done so much for Sammy and me and has been our safe haven through all of this. I know it might sound odd to you all, knowing what he does for the club, but he’s a genuinely good guy and I’ve never liked anyone as much as I like him.”

Elena hums thoughtfully. “It’s fascinating, really. I could never picture him with a woman. I thought the same about Bomber before he got together with Zara.” She glances at Zara with a smile. “No offense.”

“None taken,” Zara replies, grinning.

“They’re just built differently,” Elena continues. “But it’s so great they’ve found someone to care about.”
