God, I am never going to get enough of this man.

SENTINEL

Ispent the last several nights at Emma’s place, just wanting to keep an eye out and make my presence known. Ever since Cherry’s been gone, things have been quiet. Yet, when we confronted her about Emma’s car, she swore it wasn’t her, that she had nothing to do with it. But if it wasn’t her, why’d she agree to leave Carnage?

Something doesn’t quite add up, but I didn’t want to alarm Emma by making her stay at my place or the clubhouse until we figured it out. Honestly, I think Cherry’s lying. She either had a hand in it herself, or she saw who did, and that’s why she was all too eager to skip out. Nonetheless, I’m keeping eyes on Emma at all times, just in case.

Last night, Throttle and I had to do some club business a few towns over, supervising a large shipment drop with a supplier. I had no choice but to leave her under the protection of Breaker and Tex, two of our best prospects, until I could haul ass back to her place. Even though it was well after midnight when I crawled into her bed, her slick pussy was the best kind of welcome a man could ask for as I fucked her relentlessly until we both fell asleep.

Now, as the morning sun is just coming up, I’m headed into work with her clutching me tightly on the back of my bike. Her soft hands skim my abs underneath my shirt while her thighs mold to my hips. Feeling her head rest against my back calms something unsettled inside my chest, as a peace I’m not sure I’ve ever felt washes over me.All fucking mine.

“Alright, baby. You need anything today, just let me know.” I help her off the bike, then tuck her under my arm as we walk inside. “Having you here, I’m able to get more work done, and we’ve gotten a few more orders. But you come get me if you need me.”

“I’ll be fine, Gabe. Go on. Go play nice with your friends and your toys.” She winks at me, before turning to step around the counter and prepare the office for the day.

Wanting her to know what I think of her smart mouth, I give her ass a firm smack. “Sass like that will earn you a spanking every time, baby girl.” I smirk as she rubs away the sting.

“Is that all it takes to get you to spank me? I’ve got much sassier things to say in that case.” Her eyes darken with lust as she bites down on her pillowy lip.

I step up to her and nuzzle the crook of her neck, lightly teasing the sensitive flesh with the tip of my tongue. “Behave and I’ll spank your ass until you come tonight.” I gently bite her ear lobe, causing her to moan, then I give her a quick kiss before swatting her ass again and leaving her to her work.Damn, I can’t wait to get my hands on her bare ass and turn it red as I mark her.

A few hours later, I’m putting the final touches on a bike I’ve been working on for the past few weeks, polishing all the chrome finishes, when Crusher comes barreling in like the flames of hell are on his heels. I use a rag to wipe off my hands as I stand and prepare for his impending arrival, taking in his dark expression and tense posture. Obviously, he’s got something bad to say, and I know I’m not going to like what I’m about to hear.

“You got trouble,” he grits out, but keeps his voice down as he nods his head towards the office.

“Emma? What kind of trouble?” My fists clench at my sides, thinking about the possibility of her being in danger.

“Breaker and Tex were checking on her place and found somebody had broken in. They kicked down the door and trashed everything, brother.”

“The fuck?” My blood heats to a boil because I know exactly who’s to blame. I can feel it in my gut, and hewillfucking pay. “Let’s go. Tell Breaker and Tex to meet us at the clubhouse. I’ll get Emma and see you there. And make sure Throttle and Venom know we’re on the way.”

“You got it, man.” Crusher heads off towards his bike as I make my way to the office to get Emma. I’m not looking forward to telling her what’s happened, but I’ll make damn sure my woman knows I’ll take care of this shit.

I step into the office, and as soon as she sees me, her face lights up. “Hey, baby. C’mere.”

Her smile plummets when she notices the grim expression on my face. “What’s wrong? What is it?” She walks over to me, and I wrap her up in my arms. Feeling her body so close to mine momentarily tames the angry beast raging inside me. But it also fuels the fury I have for David, because I have no doubt he’s behind this. I can’t feel it.

She rests her hand on my chest, directly over my heart, as if doing so will calm its rapid rate. Her brow creases, and I hate seeing the apprehension in her eyes.

“I don’t want you to worry, because Iwillhandle this shit. You got me?”

She nods her head and pleads, “Tell me. Please.”

“Somebody broke in and trashed your place today.” Her jaw slackens as she inhales a sharp breath. “We’re gonna take care of this. But we need to get to the clubhouse right now, so I can fill in Venom and Throttle.”

“But I thought you said Cherry was in Vegas? Did she come back? Why is she doing this?”

“Cherry is in Vegas, baby. I don’t think it’s her.” I’m trying to maintain a calm and steady demeanor, hoping to keep Emma from panicking.

“But it can’t be David. I’ve done everything I should have. He… It’s… There’s no way he could have found me. Right?” Her eyes beg me to tell her it’s not true.

“I don’t know how he found you or where he is right now, but like I said, we’ll handle it. In order to do that, we gotta get to the clubhouse.”

I can tell she’s distressed, and I can’t blame her. Despite that, I can’t focus on easing her worries. I need to meet up with my brothers, to figure out how the fuck we’re going to take care of her ex and keep him from fucking with her any more than he already has.

“Shouldn’t we call the police? I have to go home and see about my stuff, or what’s left… I—"
